Moros muttered to himself in a cold, emotionless tone,
**"Rio… that was a big mistake, involving yourself in this matter. There are two kinds of people who throw themselves into danger — the insane, and those who crave recognition. So… which one are you?"**
Rio kept dodging the knight's attacks, along with Dracula's, and yet he shouted at the top of his lungs,
**"I want to find myself!"**
Moros was taken aback by the unexpected answer.
The knight leaped back toward one of the glowing symbols on his armor.
It shone with a golden light, and his strength and speed surged dramatically — to the point where Rio could barely evade his strikes.
With Dracula's interference, things only grew worse.
The knight slashed across Rio's left eye, forcing him to retreat quickly.
At that moment, the clown he had summoned transformed into a massive *roulette wheel*.
The knight didn't hesitate.
He lunged forward and severed Rio's right hand, then kicked him so hard that his body was sent crashing across the room.
Blood dripped from Rio's mouth as he breathed heavily and whispered,
**"I bet on red…"**
The roulette wheel began to spin.
The knight charged toward him again, blade raised high — but in that very instant, the wheel stopped, and the ball landed squarely on red.
Before the sword could reach Rio's neck, his body erupted with tremendous energy.
He caught the blade with his left hand — now fully regenerated by his power.
Rio roared and struck back, his punch landing with such force that the knight was hurled far out of sight.
Dracula tried to intervene, but the radiant energy surging from Rio's body burned him like sunlight.
The vampire screamed in agony and staggered back.
Rio dashed toward the building where Moros stood.
In a blur of motion, he struck — one powerful punch, followed by another — ending the fight once and for all.
After the battle, the distant wails of sirens echoed through the air.
Police cars surrounded the scene within minutes.
After the investigation and questioning, **Moros was arrested**, while **Rio was released** without charges.
Outside the school gates, Rio met **David**, who had been the one to call the police after hearing the explosions and chaos inside.
