The rain had finally decided to pick up in earnest, which was something of a blessing for Toki Shuugo. If it hadn’t been raining at all, the odds were good he’d already be dead. His opponent would’ve picked him off, and he would’ve dropped out of the Spirit War, just like that.

Shugo gasped for breath. The seaside factory he’d been fighting in was barely even standing anymore. Most of its outer walls, a number of support pillars, and the machinery inside had all been blown to flaming pieces. The whole place had more or less been one big inferno a short while ago, but the rain pouring through what little remained of the roof had extinguished the better part of the blaze, leaving an excess of charcoal behind.

Shuugo was currently leaning on one of the pillars that, while singed, had largely survived. He was covered with burns, his arms having been particularly scalded, and he was very clearly in a terrible state overall.

“Ugh... Dammit all... That little bitch,” Shuugo growled as he gritted his teeth.

The battle between Toki Shuugo and Hachisuka Happa had been hopelessly one-sided so far, dominated by Happa from beginning to end. Shuugo had sustained injury after injury, his condition worsening the longer the fight went on, while Happa had had yet to take any damage worth noting. It seemed safe to call it Shuugo’s total defeat. His power just wasn’t a match for hers in terms of sheer firepower—not to mention that their respective natures put him at a terrible disadvantage.

BOMB Voyage allowed Happa to manipulate explosions as she pleased, and the destructive force behind the blasts was truly intense when she wanted it to be. She could generate an explosion powerful enough to send people flying through the air with all the effort it took to light up a lighter. There just wasn’t much that you could do when you were being harried by one explosion after another. Tactics failed in the face of her overwhelming firepower.

Shuugo had managed to figure out that she was probably making something in the air around her explode, given that she hadn’t simply blown him up from the inside and always seemed to generate her blasts in midair, but that didn’t change the fact that the gulf between their respective reaches was impassable. A knife-fighter like Shuugo was hopelessly mismatched against her power.

It certainly didn’t help that Shuugo had always relied more on his own physical capabilities than on his power. Ever since he’d gotten wrapped up in the War, his preferred fighting style had been to overwhelm opponents who would rely on their powers’ petty tricks with his sheer speed and might, crushing them before they could become an issue. As such, a simple but wide-scale power like Happa’s was the sort he had the most trouble dealing with. In a sense, Players like her were his natural enemy.

Under ordinary circumstances, Shuugo would’ve decided to pull back the moment he realized he was at a disadvantage. He would’ve run away, or otherwise taken the time to work out a countermeasure for her ability.
