The flames and the paper tangled together, gradually dyeing the plain white color of the paper black. The pure white was devoured in the struggle and dissipated in the wind.

Was the final outcome so cruel that it could only be reduced to ashes?

If there was a way to use or even control these flames …

Tōun casually summoned a piece of paper. Soon, the plain white paper flew around Tōun. Although it had a nimble and beautiful body, it was still ignited by sparks as Tōun had expected.

The white paper turned into a small fireball and danced in the air like a flame spirit. It was quite beautiful.

Suddenly, he felt that it was a pity to let it dissipate like this. Before the paper burned to ashes, Tōun generously added a large amount of paper as food for the little flame spirit that was getting weaker and weaker.

With enough paper as a supplement, the flame seemed to have obtained a large amount of nutrients. In an instant, it stretched out wildly like a burning holy flame, illuminating Tōun's eyes.

So it could be done like this …

Go to the left … Fly up … Go to the front …

Tōun controlled the paper to float in the air. The flame parasitized on the paper and wandered around according to Tōun's will. It was as if Hong senpai's flame had completely merged with his paper.

At this moment, Tōun felt as if he was controlling Hong senpai's flame …

No, it wasn't an illusion.

He really could control flames with the help of paper!!!

After receiving this inspiration, Tōun felt as if he had been reborn.

After all, for Tōun, paper was like breathing. It had been with him for as long as he could remember.

He effortlessly created two huge paper puppets in an instant.

Soon, the two paper puppets were ignited. Then, the raging flames quickly spread to every corner of their huge bodies.

The two most commonly seen paper puppets fused with the flames and turned into two flaming giants. It was as if the God of Fire had descended to earth.

As long as Tōun continued to provide them with paper as fuel, they would be the most loyal God of War. Their fighting spirit would never be extinguished.

The paper puppets had their own battle consciousness, and their flaming bodies made their every move even more intimidating.

They stood on either side of Tōun, one on the left and one on the right, like two guardian deities.

Even the ornamental effect was more astonishing than pure flames.

Tōun's body was plated with a layer of gorgeous scarlet, and the air around him was distorted by the golden flames.

It was as if he was stepping on flames as his black pupils flickered with flickering shadows. It was as if even the most ferocious of flames could not cover the radiance on his body at this moment.

Hawkes looked at Tōun and sighed again. Yayoi Higashikuma was like a child who was born to be in such a bright and beautiful environment.

Hawkes had felt this way for a long time.

Anyone who was in front of Yayoi would involuntarily look at his black pupils, as if they had been struck by an ancient sacrificial spell. They only yearned to see their figure in his starry eyes.

He didn't need to speak, or even make an expression. He only needed to quietly look at you, and you would be willing to be intoxicated by his gaze.

And Bombardment Scorch, who was always being chased by his gaze, should be very happy.

Not only the onlookers, but even Tōun himself was shocked by the effect of this sudden idea. His heart was not calm, as if thousands of grass mud horses were galloping over it.

！！！！

Previously, he only thought that the paper would definitely be ignited by the flames, so he gave up on himself. He felt that with this kind of personality, and this kind of him, he was completely unworthy of Hong senpai.

Indeed, flames seemed to be the natural nemesis of paper. Tōun had tried to make some non-flammable paper before, but it ended in failure.

But since that was the case, let it continue to burn!

Hong senpai!

For this battle, I'll be borrowing your flames for a bit!

Previously, I was willful and made too many mistakes. Although there were some gains, in the end, I failed to live up to the expectations of many people.

But now, I have a lot of more important inspirations, and more things that I want to try to break through.

It's about my personality, and also about Hong senpai.

So in the future, I'll have to ask you to take care of me!

Scorching And Freezing!

"Really amazing!"

The Presente held his eyeballs that were about to fall out, and turned pale with fright, "What's going on!

When did Tōun's personality control flames!? "

Xiang Ze glanced at the Presente with disdain, and explained very calmly, "It's just continuously providing paper as fuel for the flames. This way, as long as you control the paper, you can achieve the effect of controlling the flames burning on the paper."

"It actually sounds quite scientific?"

"Actually, it's not that simple.

Paper, as the carrier of the flames, controlling the shape, direction, and duration of the flames is not a very easy task.

To be able to accurately make a flame person on his first try, it's really amazing. "

"It's actually his first try!?

… By the way, I remember that he's a student in your class, right? "The Presente turned to look at Xiang Ze.

Xiang Ze replied without changing his expression, "Yes."

"As a teacher, Eraser.

Head, how do you evaluate Tōun! "

Xiang Ze silently rolled his eyes. Although his tone was calm, his words were thought-provoking.

"I've met all kinds of weird students, and Dongyun can be considered a problematic student that attracts a lot of attention.

Although his personality isn't a strong one, it's the first time I've seen a student who clearly rejected his own personality. "

"Rejected?"

Xiang Ze said, "When Hong was in the first grade, he also refused to use part of his personality, but it was just to express his dissatisfaction.

But Tōun, he once showed that he wanted to completely give up his current personality and choose another path that was more difficult for him. To be honest, I was a little worried. "

Xiang Ze: "But now, there shouldn't be any problems."

In the end, under Hawkes' ruling, the competition ended.

This battle was actually deadlocked for a full 30 minutes, reaching the longest time limit of the competition.

Hong, Kurokawa and Night Haze were locked in a fierce battle.

Night Haze was in a one versus two situation. Although he was at a disadvantage, he was still a tenacious defender and was not defeated by Hong and Kurokawa.

Of course, the problem of Hong and Kurokawa's cooperation was also the reason why the two of them were unable to defeat Night Haze.

The three of their attacks were all AoE, causing the entire arena to be filled with fierce winds and flames that even ice couldn't stop. The arena was ravaged and looked like purgatory.

The first one to be ruled out of the battle was Mao Yuan.

Mao Yuan's hair was too long. In the situation where the entire arena was filled with flames, he was the only one who looked like an Eskimo. Even the audience felt the lingering heat for him.

The extreme heat took away too much of his physical strength, making him the key to determining the outcome of this battle.

In the end, under Tōun's control, Mao Yuan was unable to get up after falling to the ground with the Flaming Fist of the Flaming Paper Doll.

As a result, the score of the match was 3: 2.

The winning team was Bombardment Scorch, Yayoi Higashikuma, and Kurokawa Masaomi.

The three of them successfully entered the top 8.

As for Team No.7, their next opponent was Team No.1, Green Valley Choujiu. Outbursts of grandeur surpass one's self, and worries about others.

— — —

Even after the end of the battle, Tōun's heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Unlike the previous battle with Monogama's team, he suddenly had a lot of inspiration in this 30-minute battle.

These complicated thoughts collided in his mind. Even though his body was exhausted, Tōun was still restless and wanted to fight to his heart's content.

Bombardment Scorch, who was walking beside him, tilted his head and glanced at Tōun. Perhaps he felt that Tōun was walking too slowly because of his absent-minded state, so he reached out and held Tōun's hand.

…

Tōun didn't notice Bombardment Scorch's little movements. His mind was still filled with all kinds of new inspirations about his personality. He didn't even notice that Bombardment Scorch was holding his hand.

The two of them were holding hands for the first time, and Tōun didn't notice at all!?

Bombardment Scorch suddenly felt a little wronged.

Therefore, he silently activated his personality and froze the two people's hands, which were holding each other's hands, and sealed them together.
