"What the heck was that just now?"
"What ability did the goddess from Regal Academy just use?"
"She actually blew back Vincent's flames? That's insane!"
"She even froze Autumn Summer's arrows in mid-air!"
"…There's only one S-Class hero with that kind of ability, Tatsumaki, the Tornado of Terror!"
"Wait, is it really her? The hero known as the strongest natural talent? Also the hardest hero to bond with?"
"I can't believe it. Lucia Blair's power actually comes from Tatsumaki…"
"Wasn't it said that until now, only one person in the country has ever successfully inherited Tatsumaki's power? How can there be another one?"
"Regal Academy really hid this well. They actually had a student with Tatsumaki's ability, that's terrifying!"
"No wonder Lucia Blair is the team captain. With a talent like this, no one else is qualified to lead."
"Hold on, I just remembered. The previous person who bonded with Tatsumaki's power also had the surname 'Blair,' and this Lucia Blair… her surname is Blair too. You think they're related?"
"Damn! They really do have the same surname! If that's true, the Blair family must be something else…"
"Going up against someone who inherited Tatsumaki's powers… Martial Saint Academy's chances are looking pretty grim."
"Yeah, it's over for them. Regal Academy is just too dominant. Looks like the championship is as good as theirs."
"What a shame for Vincent Fox and his pursuit of the Godlike Achievement…"
The audience was buzzing with heated discussion.
After all, Lucia Blair had kept a low profile all this time, but when she finally made her move, it shook the entire arena.
She had just revealed the terrifying psychic ability of the Tornado of Terror!
This was a national headline-level event.
Because Tatsumaki's power wasn't just incredibly strong it was notoriously hard to inherit.
Currently, the top-ranked expert in the country, "Ms. Blair," was the sole successful inheritor of Tatsumaki's psychic ability.
And now, a second person had appeared.
Barring any accidents, Lucia Blair was destined to become another future powerhouse!
"This is truly unbelievable!"
The commentator's voice trembled with excitement. "The captain of Regal Academy, Lucia Blair, has just unleashed psychic power this is the S-Class hero, the Tornado of Terror's ability, known as the most difficult to inherit and the one with the greatest potential!"
"Up until now, only Ms. Blair has ever successfully bonded with this hero's power. But now, we've just witnessed the second one. This is huge not just for the tournament, but for all of humanity! It's a cause for celebration!"
"Who knows? Maybe when Lucia Blair matures, she'll be the one to finally end the beast tide crisis once and for all!"
"…I also remember hearing rumors during the school entrance season this year. They said a high school student in the capital successfully bonded with Tatsumaki's power. At the time, everyone dismissed it as fake news it was quickly suppressed. But now, it turns out to be true."
"Now, I can't wait to see Lucia Blair's growth!"
"As for this match… the moment Lucia Blair revealed her ability, I'm afraid it's pretty much over."
The audience overwhelmingly agreed.
It was clear.
With someone who possessed Tatsumaki's power, Lucia Blair was already far beyond any other freshman.
At this point, even if you added the freshmen from Godslayer Academy, they wouldn't stand a chance against her.
That's how powerful the Tornado of Terror's legacy was.
"We're finished…"
In the Martial Saint Academy's staff area, one of the teachers let out a despondent sigh.
The dean of students also shook his head heavily. "Sigh, looks like we've lost."
The other teachers all wore expressions of deep regret.
Martial Saint Academy had fought so hard to reach this point.
This was the closest the academy had ever come to claiming the freshman championship.
But in the end.
They ran into a monster like Lucia Blair.
Psychic abilities were simply too overpowering.
Even Vincent's flames the strongest weapon Martial Saint Academy had were completely countered.
The fight was already unwinnable.
Among all the teachers present, only Terry Yan still stubbornly stared at the projection, refusing to give up.
Inside the canyon.
"Vincent, you're very strong. Leading your team this far is already quite impressive," Lucia Blair said calmly. "You should surrender now. At least keep some dignity."
Upon hearing this.
Autumn Summer remained calm.
Ben Carter glanced at Vincent, waiting for his decision.
Vincent sighed softly, his gaze falling on Lucia Blair with reluctant eyes.
"I still have one move. If you can withstand it, I'll surrender."
"Oh?" Lucia raised her eyebrows slightly.
She probably didn't expect Vincent to still want to struggle at this point.
To make him give up completely, she replied flatly, "Sure, go ahead."
Vincent didn't waste any more words.
He slowly raised his hands.
Boom!
Fiery flames surged from both his palms, quickly spreading up his arms.
At first glance, it looked like Vincent was using his full power to ignite his flame ability like he had turned himself into a living fireball.
Of course.
The flames were just a cover.
What Vincent truly intended to use was his fist!
Outside the battlefield.
Seeing Vincent's movement, the commentator couldn't help but raise his voice. "It seems Vincent Fox from Martial Saint Academy isn't ready to give up. He wants to make one last desperate attempt. But honestly, I don't think he has a chance. His flame ability has already been completely countered by Lucia Blair."
"Still, Vincent's courage deserves our respect. Let's see what he can pull off next."
The audience listened intently, their eyes fixed on the projection.
Several Martial Saint Academy teachers quietly cheered for Vincent in their hearts.
Suddenly.
Terry Yan stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Vincent! Go for it!!"
He knew full well that Vincent, who was inside the canyon, couldn't possibly hear him but he shouted anyway.
Terry had been holding back for so long, ever since he was framed by Walter Wayne. The frustration and humiliation had been eating at him.
In Vincent, he saw hope for redemption.
More importantly, he didn't want to see his most outstanding student lose to anyone!
"Vincent! Go for it!!"
The second person to yell was the usually composed dean of students.
At this moment, the dean's calm demeanor was nowhere to be seen. He roared with such passion it was like he had returned to his younger days.
Turns out, even the dean had an unyielding spirit deep down.
"Vincent! Go for it!!"
The other teachers quickly joined in, shouting one after another.
The dean had already set the example how could they just sit there?
Soon, the audience began to follow.
"Vincent! Go for it!!"
It started with Vincent's fans.
Before long, the chant spread throughout the entire arena.
"Vincent! Go for it!!"
"Vincent! Go for it!!"
"Vincent! Go for it!!"
Countless spectators joined in.
Some were simply swept up in the excitement.
But many others genuinely wanted to see Vincent pull off a miracle and achieve his Godlike Achievement…
