"Ten-Handed Thread Wielding, Guillotine."
"!!!" Several people stood up while a lot more people were shocked by what Erwin had just done.
Jack didn't have such a leeway because he realized he had been surrounded.
He struck the threads in front of him and planned to escape by tossing himself up.
To his surprise, the moment he swept the threads down, he realized there were more threads behind them. As a result, he couldn't escape from this trap.
"This is…" Jack widened his eyes in shock. He couldn't process what was happening. How many threads did Erwin actually have? He was supposed to only be able to control ten fingers' worth of threads. Yet, there were simply too many of them.
Erwin clutched his fingers with the spider legs doing the same thing as the threads tightened, ready to slice Jack.
'Ah. Shit.' Jack cursed inwardly, realizing he was outwitted.
Alan patted Erwin's shoulder, signaling him that the match was over. The other two referees stopped the threads with their bodies.
"The match is over, right?" Alan smirked.
Both of them couldn't really say anything.
"Match ends. Won by Erwin Tyska." The general announced out loud.
The people couldn't help but gasp. Erwin had been the ones at the disadvantage the whole time, yet for some reason, he managed to win. They simply didn't understand how it could lead to his victory.
"W-What's going on? How is he able to win?" Utaha gasped. "This is an upset!"
Principal Vhalor chuckled. "As I thought, there's no one normal in the Libation Fiesta."
"Principal Vhalor? May we hear your explanation?" Utaha asked.
"Sure." Principal Vhalor smiled. "What do you think Erwin's strength is?"
"Erwin's strength? I suppose it's his unique weapon. After all, not everyone is used to fighting someone who uses wires."
The principal shook his head. "While it's true that his unique weapon increases his prowess, his true strength doesn't lie on it. Instead, it's his eyes."
"Yes. Eyes. I could only confirm it during the last attack. Let's put the amazing technique he has and focus only on the eyes. He was able to read his opponent extremely well.
"In the last attack, he sent forth so many wires, right? But if you took another look at it, there were two layers of wires on Jack's right, while the rest only had one. If Jack actually turned to the left, he would have escaped and Erwin might have lost.
"However, this was not luck. Erwin had been observing his opponent the whole time like what was his habit?
"Before the last attack, Erwin knew Jack would escape to the right, so he sent the additional wires from there to overwhelm him.
"For me, this is Erwin's true strength. His eyes are able to capture the opponent's habit and movements from their expression or any other clues.
"He managed to overcome the disadvantage of not having a terrain by using his eyes.
"Of course, his unique weapon was also a part of the reason he was able to win. But the moment he didn't have the terrain advantage, the battle was supposed to be over.
"That's why I believe that his observant eyes are the deadliest weapon he has."
Utaha was overwhelmed by the explanation. She had never expected that Erwin's strength would come from his eyes. "Is this like the pseudo unique ability you mentioned previously?"
"Nope." He shook his head. "This is completely a normal person's way to overcome their limit. I don't know him personally, but after seeing his skill, Erwin must have practiced extremely hard. That kind of observant eye is not something you're born with."
"I see. Thank you very much for the explanation, Principal Vhalor." Utaha took a deep breath. "Did you hear that, everyone? This is completely shocking. To think that our pair of normal eyes could allow us to overcome such a gap.
"It appears we have to re-evaluate ourselves. Instead of getting fixated on nothing but numbers, we should improve on our body. Muscle is not the only way anymore. Eyes or senses might be the future.
"This is completely an unexpected battle. Erwin waited until the right moment and defeated his opponent.
"But with this, the score is 4-0. That's right. Libation Fiesta has actually won four times. There are only two battles left!"
When Utaha reminded them of the score, the people couldn't help but widen their eyes. That was right. Tesron had humiliated the first academy in the past week by defeating them without giving them a chance to fight back.
Even if Jay and Clovis didn't win, the Libation Fiesta would still have the victory.
The question was, would Jay and Clovis simply give up? There was no way the two would pass on individual victory.
In other words, the Libation Fiesta was planning for a complete victory. This was clearly an upset.
Tesron, who thought he was going to humiliate the Libation Fiesta, ended up getting humiliated. That was right. One of the top teams in the world among the younger generation was about to experience a crushing defeat.
Tesron was furious. He was scared, knowing that his grandfather might punish him because of this.
Meanwhile, Clovis remained calm, enjoying the people's reaction with Ezekiel.
"Libation Fiesta is going to win 6-0."
"Are they going to do it?"
"They will definitely do it. We have to believe it."
"No. We have to cheer them on."
"That's right. Go, go. Libation Fiesta!"
"Libation Fiesta! Please win!"
The people cheered. The atmosphere was completely in their favor. And this time, each team was sending their vice captain, Jay Havenson and Yasen Kavika.
The battle between two teams that had garnered the attention of the whole world. No one would expect Tesron to be beaten this harshly.
At the same time, the people started gaining interest in this unknown team who was capable of such a feat.
From today onward, the name of Libation Fiesta would be implanted in everyone's mind.
And Jay planned to ensure that the name would be glorious by defeating his opponent.
