Jinrui No Saigo No Kibō/Humanity's Last Hope

Chapter 8 - The Final Round

Tohka attacks Hikari with incredible attacks but Hikari dodges them all hardly.His arm is heavily injured and all he can do is to dodge and think about the situation.

"Do it faster you idiot…!" thinks Hikari

"She didn't move one step from where she was since Paul left…Her confidence…She could've eliminated me with this injure…She is toying with me…!" thinks Hikari

"Is that all you've got? Is the loss of an arm that big of a deal?" says Tohka

"I am just playing here…Don't mind me!" replies Hikari

"Hmm…So if I speed up a little?" says Tohka

"Think…If I attack…I can't dodge all her attacks that cover a big area…My speed fell after so many battles…I am tired…The arrows timer is 30 seconds…Another one should be coming…Now!" thinks Hikari while dodging

"Hmm…That's weird…" says Hikari

"So it's done…Hey you! Ever minded what happens if I cut a light saber with other light saber?" says Hikari then he throws one of his swords on the ground and with the other one cuts it...

A loud sound comes from the broken weapon at the impact…Loud enough that Hikari's ears start to bleed…

Tohka puts her hand on her ears because of the sound…

At that moment can be heard

"Ishigami Ryouta was eliminated by Paul Aome!"

The sound disappeared…Tohka starts to move towards Hikari with her sword leaving his only option to dodge…

Tohka unleashes her magic again and jumps to Hikari with her sword attacking him from midair

"It's over…" says Hikari

"Hmm…?" says Tohka

"Hikari Ianku was eliminated by Tohka Kurogane…and also…"

At that moment could be heard…

"Death claws!"

"Tohka Kurogane was eliminated by Paul Aome at the same time!...The winning class is class B and F with Paul Aome being the last man standing!"

"Good job…You owe me a light saber!" says Hikari

"Thanks….Wait…What!?"

"Was this all your plan?" asks Tohka

"Well yes…We're a team after all…" says Paul

"And also…Teach that classmate of your to fight at close range..." says Paul

"Heeh…I think I should…." Says Tohka

Then they start laughing while Hikari stares at them

Later that night on the ship…

"The lesson is done! The winners are class B and also class F both of them getting grades of 10! Congratulations!" says The Principal

"And congratulations to Paul Aome and Hikari Ianku for humiliating class A" says The Principal

Tohka and class A members stare at the principal

"Tomorrow we are heading to the school…Lessons start again next week! Until then go and relax…After what I've seen I am gonna make some of you train until you spit blood! That's all!"

Everyone goes to his room from the ship

In some of the rooms you can hear music and laughing sounds…They are enjoying the time they have left on the ship...At Paul and Hikari's doors are many students knocking…However they don't respond…

They are in Mizuki's room playing table games with her and Tohka…

"I've won again…" says Hikari

"How…?" says Paul

"You're too good at this…" says Mizuki

Meanwhile Tohka stays in a corner depressed…she lost every game on the last place…

"It's fine Tohka…Come back I didn't win a game either!" says Mizuki

Playing cards…

"I've won ten games in a row! Yay!" says Mizuki

Tohka is again depressed in a corner...

"Umm…How about we leave now…" says Paul

"Yeah…" says Hikari

"Well it's pretty late…good night you two!" says Mizuki
