Unknown: Hey kid, are you coming or not?
(Silence)
Unknown: Huh? Where did he go?
Unknown finds a piece of paper.
"I've already left with Shiro to the new arena. I've written the address down."
Unknown: New arena?
Unknown rushes to the new arena.
Upon arriving at the address, Unknown sees a huge crowd eager to watch the tournament finals.
"Attention to all participants! Please proceed to the waiting room!"
Unknown: I can't wait to fight strong opponents!
"Welcome to the AH Tournament Finals!!!"
"We have four participants who will be competing!"
"Unknown, the mysterious fighter who suddenly appeared in the tournament and made it to the finals!"
"Togil, the strongest killer, seems to be here for some purpose!"
"Envy, the beautiful woman filled with jealousy!"
"And our strongest participant and last year's champion, The Strongest Shiro!!!"
The crowd roars in excitement, eager to witness the battles between the four contestants.
"Let's draw the matchups!"
Cringgg
Shiro vs. Unknown
Togil vs. Envy
"Who will be the victor?"
"Alright, enough chit-chat! Let's begin the first match!!!"
Steve: Good luck, bro!
Shiro: Yeah, yeah.
"Since the previous arena was destroyed, we've moved to a larger one. There's no 'out of bounds' here; you can move however you want!"
The battle between Shiro and Unknown is about to begin. It will be a showdown between the strongest of today (Shiro) and the strongest in history (Unknown).
Shiro and Unknown step closer to each other, ready to start the match.
"BEGIN!!!"
Unknown, impatient, immediately attacks Shiro with a kick, but Shiro blocks it and counters with a punch.
Unknown swiftly deflects the blow and prepares a counterattack with an uppercut.
Shiro dodges by dropping to the ground.
Unknown: (Hmm, what's he doing?)
Shiro thrusts his hand to the side, using gravity to drag Unknown towards him.
Unknown is pulled by Shiro's gravity technique. But Shiro isn't done; he dashes towards the dragged Unknown.
Shiro clenches his fist and aims for Unknown's chest. BUAKK!! DUARR!!
Unknown, thrown backward, struggles to regain his balance.
Shiro doesn't let up. He sprints forward, his fighting aura intensifying.
But before Shiro can strike, Unknown regains his balance.
Shiro throws a punch.
Unknown leaps into the air to evade.
Now it's Unknown's turn. "Black Slash!" A black slash materializes from thin air, aiming for Shiro.
Shiro, startled, quickly activates his World Shield to block the attack.
Unknown: World Shield, huh? (flies toward Shiro) Interesting!
Unknown directly attacks Shiro's World Shield, unleashing a massive burst of energy to forcefully break through it, as if challenging Shiro.
Shiro simply stares coldly at Unknown.
Shiro deactivates his World Shield and grabs Unknown's hand.
Unknown, caught off guard, is unable to react. BAM! Shiro punches Unknown in the face.
But Unknown narrowly avoids the hit and moves behind Shiro.
Round 2
Shiro and Unknown walk around the arena, talking.
Shiro: You're... pretty good!
Unknown: Heh, so you really are worthy of being called the strongest!
Shiro: (Who the hell is he?)
During the conversation, Shiro suddenly attacks Unknown with his gravity technique.
"Gravitation!" The arena floor begins to lift, trapping Unknown inside.
Shiro hurls the chunk of the arena to the ground. DUARR!! Dust fills the air.
Through the swirling dust, Unknown dashes toward Shiro, preparing to unleash a Black Hole.
"What kind of technique is that, folks?!"
The Black Hole starts pulling Shiro toward it. Shiro quickly thinks of a way to counter it.
Shiro: (This black hole is pulling me in like my gravity... Wait, that's it! Gravity!)
"Remove the Gravitation!" Shiro nullifies the gravity effect of the Black Hole, causing it to gradually dissipate.
Shiro: (This is dangerous. I need to finish this quickly!)
Shiro: "Mugen no kūkyo no ryōiki o sakusei suru!"
Unknown: (The same technique! But the name is different?)
"Create Domain Inside the Black Hole!"
A barrier forms, trapping both of them inside.
"Shiro has unleashed his secret technique!"
Both Unknown's and Shiro's techniques clash violently.
Unknown smirks, realizing that someone else in the future can still use Domain Creation.
Shiro: So, you can use Domein o sakusei suru too, huh?
The barrier trembles and CRACK! It finally shatters.
Shiro's neck is suddenly split open by Unknown's attack, but he quickly regenerates it.
Shiro: "Reverse my body!" A green aura heals Shiro's injuries.
Unknown: (smiles) Looks like you forgot to activate your World Shield!
Unknown lunges at Shiro, slashing him multiple times, leaving Shiro heavily wounded and bleeding profusely.
The crowd and announcers are stunned into silence.

Round 3
Explanation of Shiro's abilities:
When Shiro activates his Domain, all of his other techniques become unusable as the Domain drains a lot of energy. Hence, his body reflexively minimizes energy consumption.
Reverse My Body is a technique that restores Shiro's body to its normal state, including energy, body parts, and even the ability to heal others.
---
Unknown doesn't allow Shiro to heal. He chases after Shiro and attempts to punch him, but Shiro dodges. Unknown then follows up with a kick, but Shiro blocks it.
Shiro retaliates with a punch to Unknown's face.
Unknown uses Shiro's own body to evade the strike.
Unknown grabs Shiro's leg and locks it with his own.
Shiro, instead of panicking, takes advantage of the situation and lands a powerful punch to Unknown's face.
DUARR!! Unknown narrowly avoids the hit and steps back.
Unknown: (Even though he's severely injured, he's still so fast and strong!)
Shiro: (I need to RMB!) "Reverse my body!" Hahh... Just so you know, I'm not using World Shield to keep things interesting!
Shiro, now fully healed, dashes forward to continue the fight.
Unknown tries to strike Shiro, but Shiro ducks and elbows Unknown in the liver.
Unknown, frustrated, unleashes a barrage of Black Slashes, attacking Shiro relentlessly.
Shiro, with his body injured again, only glares at Unknown.
Steve: Is Shiro going to lose?
Unexpectedly, Shiro leaps up and clings to Unknown using his legs.
Shiro points a finger at Unknown.
Unknown, caught off guard, fails to react.
"Destroy!!!" Nginggg DARRR!!! Unknown is sent flying into the arena wall.
Unknown: Ouch.
Shiro: Ugh... Such a pain!
"Create Domain Inside the Black Maximum Output!!!"
Domein o sakusei suru!
Both Unknown and Shiro create their Domains again, their techniques clashing head-on.
Steve: Will both of them destroy each other again? It seems Shiro is expanding the size of his Domain!
Envy: This match is intense.
Togil: ...
Shiro: Let's do it again!
Unknown: Heh, fine.
This time, they maintain their Domain states while moving around.
Shiro and Unknown continue to clash, exchanging blows and blocking each other's attacks.
But as the battle progresses, Shiro notices that Unknown can expand and strengthen his Domain simultaneously.
Shiro: No way... Unknown can expand and reinforce his Domain at the same time?!
---
Domain Mechanics Explanation:
When you use a Domain, you cannot use your natural body techniques. At least, that's what Shiro has concluded so far.
---
Shiro throws a punch at Unknown, but Unknown dodges and moves behind Shiro.
Shiro: !?
(Raises a finger) CRACK! DUARR!! Shiro's Domain shatters!
Shiro, affected by the Domain's collapse, quickly activates his World Shield.
Unknown: So, you finally activated your World Shield.
Shiro: Huff... This is getting dangerous. "Domein o sakusei suru!"
This time, Shiro creates a Domain that is extremely small — about the size of a marble.
Announcer: "It's so tiny, folks!!!"
The audience, unable to see what's happening inside, only sees the barrier. But as time passes, the barrier shakes violently and finally bursts apart.
Shiro and Unknown emerge, but Unknown seems severely injured in the chest area.
Unable to withstand the damage, Unknown's Domain explodes.
Announcer: "The black hole has shattered!!!"
Unknown: What happened? Why isn't my body regenerating?! (How is this possible? Regeneration is supposed to be absolute and cannot be nullified!)
Shiro: Thanks to my World Shield, I managed to break through the airspace and reach a higher dimension, preventing your regeneration since your wounds are now located in another space.
THUD! Unknown collapses.
Unknown: (grins) Just wait...
Announcer: "Shiro is the winner!!! Congratulations for advancing to the semifinals!"
"Next up is the match between Togil and Envy! Spectators, please stay tuned!"
