After Hikari and Wei Wei match ended. Other matches started and after two matches Hiroshi match with Ling Xiu came. 

“Next match is between Hiroshi and Ling Xiu. These two participants should come to the ground to start their duel”.​

Yuki who was idling before now became attentive after hearing Hiroshi's name. 

Hiroshi came to the ground with a calm face. Hiroshi got his mother's eyes and the looks he got from his father. But his attitude was neither like his mother nor like his father. He has a cold attitude and he mostly likes to remain silent.​

 

'I am going to fight Hiroshi', Thinking this Ling Xiu blushed a little. Among the girls who liked Hiroshi, it can be said that all of the girls in the school liked him, including Ling Xiu. ​

 

Ling Xiu was from the fox clan. She has brown hair that was falling on her back and has a fair face and she was wearing a pink dress. From beauty to cleverness, she has all the characteristics of a fox clan. 

She take on a stance and two fox ears emerged from her head. Her nails became sharp and long. She was a combat fighter. “Hiroshi I am on 9th level too. It’s not going to be an easy fight.”, after introduction Ling Xiu said​.

 

Hiroshi remain silent. Then he pulled out zither from his storage ring and started playing a song. ​

 

Ling Xu was about to attack when she heard Hiroshi’s song. She saw his slender fingers moving on the strands of the zither. A beautiful song he was playing and every student on the ground became quite like they are being hypnotized. Hiroshi who was playing this song was calm and quiet, only his fingers were moving on the strings. Everything became silent and only the sound of zither could be heard in the ground. ​The unaffected people were only the teachers who had higher cultivations than Hiroshi. 

 

'I… It’s the song of repression. When did he master this song? Only people at Origin Realm can learn this song. They are even considered geniuses. But he managed to master it at the level of True Qi Realm. How could this be possible?' Hiroshi’s teacher Qu Wei was thinking all of this and was stupefied. ​

Ling Xu was looking at Hiroshi but she didn’t attack. She was standing there like a fool and then she raised her hand and said,

“I surrender.” 

The teacher then after a moment of silence announced, “Hiroshi won. Ling Xu lost.” Then Hiroshi’s slender fingers stopped moving on the zither strands and the students came back to their senses. ​

 

“Wait, what happened? I was about to attack. Ah, my head hurts.” Ling Xua was saying miserably and then she fainted. After some time some students from her class came and took her to the infirmary. ​

 

The students there didn’t understand what happened, they heard a tone a then lost control of their senses.

Hiroshi started walking towards his seat when he heard the murmuring among students. 

 

“What happened to the fight? I didn't see anything”

“How would I know. I am same as you. I saw him taking out his zither and playing a song and the next thing I saw was Ling Xu lying on the ground fainted” 

“He really is the strongest student of our school.” 

 

Did he become stronger than me? Guess I have to wait for my turn to know, Yuki was thinking after seeing the results of this match.

“You are from zither clan you should know about this. What song did he play? Why did that girl surrender?", A fellow teacher asked Qu Wei about Hiroshi. ​

Qu Wei sighed and then said

“He just used the song of repression. This song can control a person's mind. He was controlling her mind now that’s why she surrendered and in our clan, the geniuses who can master this song are about 16 or 17 years old and the average people at the age of 20, and they should be at Origin Realm and he is now only 11 years old at the level of True Qi Realm but he mastered it.”​

The fellow teacher was dumbfounded. He then took a deep breath and said, 

"Ah what can we say? There are skies above skies"​

“This kid is a monstrous genius. His future potential is limitless.” ​

Qu Wei said.

 

The solo matches for the first round continued for the half-day and the second round started in the evening. ​

"The students who failed the first round will not participate in the second round except Ling Xu because her opponent was Hiroshi. I will now tell you about the second-round matches. The first match is between Hiroshi and Yuki and if Yuki or Hiroshi lost in this match they will still be allowed to participate in the third match against Hiroshi but the other students will not be given this opportunity. It’s because we don’t have any strong kids who can match them. These two are the strongest ones and it is decided that Hiroshi and Yuki if one of them lost in this match they will still graduate”, Qu Wei was telling the students about the second round of matches.​

“What, now even if they lose they will still graduate?” A student said​.

“What is your level now?” The teacher said​

The student said hesitantly “Level 8”.

“Then why are you complaining. Are you strong like them? First, become strong and then complain. If anyone has a problem then come and fight against Yuki or Hiroshi. If you can win against them then they will not be given this opportunity. Now tell me who wants to compete against them?”

The whole ground then became silent.

“Now, Let's start the first match. The two participants please come up on the stage.” The teacher then said. ​

The sun was still shining brightly. The atmosphere became heavy among the students. Hiroshi and Yuki came onto the stage. ​

“Hey, who do you think will win?”

“I don’t know. They both are the strongest in our school” The students were murmuring among each other.

Hiroshi and Yuki started their match. Hiroshi was silently observing Yuki.​

“Today is my lucky day,” Yuki said while seeing the sun that was shining brightly. Then wings of fire were formed on Yuki’s back. The students were awed to see this scene.

“Whoa. Magnificent.” Miha said.

“But, isn’t Hiroshi going to use a zither. Then how will Yuki defeat him?”, Haruto said with curiosity, as in the third match he was going to be Hiroshi's teammate so in his heart he was wishing for Hiroshi's win in this match.

“Anyways, let’s see the match. It’s going to be an interesting one.” Miha said while focusing her eyes on the match. ​

The wings that were on Yuki’s back were burning with fire. The wind that was cool and soft a few minutes ago became scorching hot and burning.

Hiroshi didn't say anything and just took out his zither like before and when he was about to put his fingers on the strings to play a song, Yuki look at him and said mockingly,

“Your song is going to be of no use. I had put cotton plugs in my ears. I will not be affected by your song. You can't just rely on this”.

"Not only Yuki is powerful he is also very intelligent"

"Yes now it's hard to say who will win"

The kids were whispering among each other.

Haruto said, “How decisive Yuki is. Now even the sun is shining brightly his power will be doubled. I wonder who will win”

Miha didn't give attention to what Haruto was saying, she was keenly immersed in the match.

Hiroshi as usual remained calm, no flicker of emotions could be seen on his face. With a cold voice, he said,

“The one thing I hate the most is fighting hand-to-hand combat and you forced me to fight like this.”

Yuki after hearing this smirked a little and was ready to fight.

Yuki’s smile was still on his face when he was pushed back by some force. He was lying on the ground and his face was caked with dirt. Yuki tried to get up but failed and then saw Hiroshi standing a few steps away from him. ​

“I kicked at your abdomen with full force. Human’s body weakest point is the abdomen. You will not be able to stand. You will need three days to recover because you are kicked by a Half Step Spirit realm master", Hiroshi was saying calmly.

After hearing this there was a pin drop silence in the ground, and most of the students' mouths were hanging open with astonishment and awe. Qu Wei could not take this anymore and then he said with strictness in his voice,

 “What nonsense is this Hiroshi? First, you played the song of repression that only 16 to 17 age people could master and now you are saying that you are half-step into the spirit realm. What rubbish is this?”

Hiroshi look at his teacher and then said casually.

“You should care less about me and more about the one who is lying on the ground. He has got injuries and needs three days to recover.”

After saying this Hiroshi started walking towards his seat.​

Qu Wei became angry with his attitude but then he looked at Yuki who was moaning miserably on the ground. He then calmed himself and went towards him and said,  ​

 “Are you alright? ​

Yuki was frowning and said with some difficulty,

 “I can't stand and my abdomen hurts so much”

“He was eager to finish this match so he used all his force to kick you at your weakest point but it’s a relief that there are no internal injuries,” Qu Wei said while checking his pulse. ​

Qu Wei then carried Yuki on his back to take him to the infirmary.
