Thwack! Crack!
Hikari launched a desperate overhead strike with all his remaining strength, hoping to break through Noah's seemingly unshakeable defence.
CLANG!
The impact created a resounding crash that echoed across the venue, but Noah caught the strike on his blade and held it there effortlessly. Hikari pushed down with everything he had, yet couldn't budge Noah's position.
"Impossible," Hikari gasped, his eyes widening as he realised the vast difference in their actual strength levels.
Whoosh!
With a gentle twist of his wrist, Noah deflected Hikari's blade aside and touched his own sword tip to his opponent's chest—a clean, decisive finish that demonstrated complete control over the match's outcome.
The referee stepped forward immediately. "Winner: Noah Carter!"
The crowd erupted in appreciative applause, recognising they had witnessed an exceptional match.
