Unknown: Huh? Then how am I supposed to fight? The arena is already destroyed.
Steve: Dunno.
"Ahem, for the remaining participants who wish to compete, for now, we'll be using the field next to the coliseum. Thank you."
The next day.
Unknown: Still sleeping, huh? Oh well, I'll go by myself.
Unknown flies to the new battle area. After arriving, the announcer points to Unknown to immediately enter the match.
"Next match!" Cling "Unknown versus Kiho!"
"Both participants, please enter the battle area!"
Unknown: "Check skill." Cling 'Absolute Luck' (Special). Tch, not interesting.
"Begin!"
Unknown, not interested in Kiho, immediately attacks by increasing the gravity around Kiho.
Kiho, unable to withstand the intense gravitational pressure, instantly faints.
"Huh? Kiho is out cold! Unknown wins! This is the fastest match in AH Tournament history! Unbelievable, folks!"
"Alright, that concludes today's matches. For the final round, which will take place in four days, the participants are..."
Cling Unknown, Shiro, Envy, and Togil.
"So, you all can prepare for the final match!"
Unknown: (See you tomorrow, strongest one!)
Unknown teleports back to Steve's house.
Upon arriving, Unknown sees Steve watching the news.
Steve: See?!
Unknown: What's up?
Steve: You're all over the news!
News Reporter: Recently, a mysterious person with no traceable background has appeared.
Unknown turns off the TV.
Steve: Hey! Why'd you turn it off? This is important!
Unknown: Relax. It's all part of my plan. (Looks like after this, I'll have to return to that kid's body until my presence is forgotten.)
Steve: Hey.
Unknown: What?
Steve: Can you train me again? I still haven't perfected it.
Unknown: Of course. Why not!
Unknown opens a portal to a vast training ground.
Unknown: Let's start with your Black technique!
Steve: Alright!
"First, you form a ball of energy at your fingertip. Then, rotate the energy within the ball and launch it in the direction you want."
Whoosh Whirr The energy spins rapidly, sucking in the surrounding area.
"The spinning energy will pull in the surroundings."
Steve: So that's how your weird black ball technique works?!
Unknown: Nah, my Black Hole is purely due to gravity.
"Next. You can also channel energy to your hand. But remember, this is a 50/50 technique."
Boom! Unknown slams the ground, causing the already shattered ground to break apart even more due to the Black Enchant effect.
Steve: Huh? Why 50/50?
Unknown: It's simple. If your hand isn't strong enough, the energy will explode, taking your hand with it. So, control how much energy you channel. Now, try it.
Steve clenches his fist tightly and channels dark energy. Boom! Steve's hand shatters as it can't handle the intense energy.
Steve: Ouch! That hurts!
"Geez," Unknown heals Steve's injured hand.
Steve: Thanks.
Unknown: Alright, let's move on to the next one. This time, I'll teach you how to fly so you don't have to walk everywhere.
"Focus on channeling energy around your body. Then control that energy to make you float!"
Steve tries but fails.
Steve: Ugh, how?
Unknown: Ugh, alright. For the next three days, I'll keep an eye on you until you get it!
For days, Unknown continues to train Steve, day after day, until finally, three days later, the day of Steve's final training arrives.
Unknown: Alright, we've spent days training. Now, I'll test you with a direct fight!
Steve: (Fight him directly?! Is he crazy?!) Alright.
Steve starts the battle by launching his Black technique, pulling in the surrounding area.
Unknown, being drawn towards the technique, can't move.
Steve seizes the opportunity. He flies into the sky and coats his arm with energy.
Steve dives toward Unknown at high speed. Upon reaching him, Steve strikes.
Boom! A massive explosion fills the training area.
Steve: (I did it! Uh...) Unknown, are you alright?
Unknown: Good, good. You've mastered it. The rest depends on your creativity in using the technique.
Steve: Thanks, but are you really okay?
Unknown: (Annoyed) Who do you think I am?
Steve: Haha, yeah, yeah.
