My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—-Chapter 459 Knighthawk Versus Satoshi
Once again, Knighthawk was backed into a corner since he had no choice but to accept the challenge. The audience put up a front of cheering him on, but honestly, they just desired to witness a fight between a teacher and a student.
It was a spectacularly novel idea for Satoshi to challenge him like that after he was bullied, and the audience was all for it. it was going to be an unforgettable match, provided that not a single teacher would step in to put a halt to it.
In fact, when the challenge was issued, the audience half-expected Principal Sai Tama to step in and tell them that they were taking things a tad bit too far. Unbeknownst to everyone, the principal was also looking forward to the event. \
A match between a teacher and a student wasn't a rare occurrence in the USA, that's why the principal was not at all surprised by Satoshi's challenge.
"Fight him. Fight him. Fight him." The constant cheers and urges of the spectators got on the nerves of Knighthawk. He wanted to scream at them that they be quiet. However, he had a reputation to uphold, and it would give him a bad image if he were to scream after being challenged by the student he bullied.
With not much of a choice, Knighthawk held his breath and walked forward to the center of the stage. He walked with silence, plastering a forced smile on his face as he gently waved at the audience. He wanted to scream 'this is what you wanted, right?' at them.
Instead of screaming, however, his eyebrows just twitched in annoyance as he assumed his position.
Satoshi also walked toward the other side of the stage. From what little knowledge he had of Knighthawk, he knew that he didn't have any superpowers. He was one of the handful of superheroes who didn't have any superpowers, and he was able to rise through the ranks.
In and of itself, that was such an impressive feat, but Satoshi was not impressed. He could more or less gauge Knighthawk's level when it comes to his physical build. His fighting prowess shouldn't amount to that— or so that's what Satoshi assumed.
"Oi, why didn't you challenge anyone?" Jonathan asked Kuroe who simply stood there with the other girls.
"Yeah, some of you wanted to switch places with each other, right?" Hiroshi also asked. During the first round, the girls were especially enthusiastic about the matches, but now that the second round had commenced, they didn't bother challenging anyone.
Then again, all of them didn't do it since they didn't want to ruin Satoshi's momentum. He was on a roll, and his winning streak would help with his confidence in his next match.
Adding to that, a fight between a teacher and a student is a fitting match to end the event. Thus everybody opted to step back and give Satoshi the limelight.
Everyone's attention was on him, and it was well-deserved, considering that he was fighting with a handicap.
A figure suddenly leaped from the uppermost part of the coliseum. It was a familiar figure, but the figure was currently wearing a robe and sandals.
As the figure descended, everyone noticed his bald head, reflecting the brightness of the sun as he went down. It was shiny as if someone just polished it with wax.
Principal Sai Tama had arrived on the stage!
"You'd need a referee, right? Allow me to stand in as a referee." Principal Sai Tama recommended himself as he slightly puffed his chest. His robe was open on the front so everyone could see his well-sculpted chest and the upper half portion of his abs. Despite his bald head, his body made him resemble a model.
Just one look and Satoshi could tell that the principal also did not overlook his physical training.
"Principal, are you really going to oversee this match?" Knighthawk asked. He didn't want the principal to see his weak self because at that moment, he knew that Satoshi might beat him at his own game.
Principal Sai Tama smiled. He was going to oversee the match with or without Knighthawk's permission. Besides, the audience kind of wanted to see the principal act as a referee. He rarely goes outside to show himself to the public, after all.
The crowd started murmuring amongst themselves. While Sai Tama rarely ever goes out, he was quite respected as one of the most powerful superhero to ever exist. It was even believed that he could easily take a top spot in the SAO Rankings if he were to get serious.
However, he'd rather act as a principal and watch over his school instead of going out there and playing the role of a superhero.
Apparently, Sai Tama only ever wanted a chill life. That's why he stuck to his profession.
"Well then, both sides in position." Sai Tama said extending his hand towards the stage as he stood by the sidelines. "The rules are simple. There will be no tamed beasts. The winner will be decided if the other party is unable to fight or if he surrendered. Ready?"
Knighthawk and Satoshi gulped. This was the moment everyone was waiting for.
"Begin!"
Dash!
To everyone's surprise, it was Knighthawk who charged at Satoshi instead of the other way around. Somehow, the audience got used to thinking that Satoshi would make the first move, but this time he didn't.
Even Knighthawk was surprised since he was confident that Satoshi would charge as well.
"Here goes nothing," Knighthawk gritted his teeth. Everything that he ever learned, as well as all the hardships he experienced, flashed before his eyes. Somehow, his mind thought told him that everything that happened in the past led to this moment.
Then again, it was his fault that this happened in the first place. The least he could do was not embarrass himself further.
"It's all or nothing. It's all or nothing." Knighthawk called out loud, clocking his fist as he readied a punch.
