A referee started to enter the arena, the fight will soon start and Hana still looks confused because he knows what to do, every choice on his mind is all wrong.
"Both participants get ready...!"
Hana can see Kouko has come out from inside Kou's body while bringing up Keris which is quite dangerous due to the mixture of the whole sword, if Hana is injured with it then the situation will get worse.
Hana starts to bring up clumps of water on both of her fists, trying to fight with Kou using a gentle manner but can give a clear result that she must win this fight to step on the Final.
"The fight's starting...!!!"
"Kouko!" Kou pointed at Hana so Kouko shot forward towards Hana with a speed capable of shocking her who continued to look worried and nervous.
Hana widened her eyes and then she dodged a single attack of Keris that was able to split the gap next to her, the gap opened wide and released a wave of Crimson that was able to hit Hana backwards.
"A-ck...!" Both of Hana's arms began to pulsate, Crimson magic had hit both of Hana's arms until it went inside only to eat Hana's flesh gradually.
"S-It hurts...!" Hana clenched her teeth, she knelt on the ground so that Kou put on a serious face, it could be seen that he was still holding back and showing compassion to Kou.
From the beginning it can be read like a book, Kou can only shut up and put on an annoyed face because he no longer wants people around him to consider himself full of flaws and weak, he said, he wanted to be considered a powerful legend.
Hana looked at Kou who looked unusual, her face was so upset that she did not want to be considered weak that she started to rise and then released a lump of water towards Kou.
Kouko split the lump in two and sucked it using Keris so she kicked Hana and slashed her stomach until injured.
"Agh...!" Hana jumps back and touches the wound, she immediately uses her water magic to recover the wound.
"Hana still can't seem to choose her choice..." Ophilia.
"It's just that Hana is hiding something from Kou, instead of him being able to read anyone as easily as a book? He can turn the book into anything he wants."
Hana had received some pretty painful injuries so the audience was comforted even Jorgez to the point of saying Hana looked unwell due to a gloomy expression before the match.
Kou sighed, "Hana..."
Hana could hear Kou's voice in her mind, she had just remembered about Kou who could see any lies and secrets.
"If you hold back then this fight is not like a true legend..."
"...do you want to disappoint your Mom and Dad?" Kou tries to provoke Hana so that she can fight seriously with him without restraint.
Hana was surprised when she heard that Kou was very serious about this semi-final, she looked at Kou who looked annoyed because she had been waiting for a fierce and fun fight from Hana from the beginning.
"I can bring you down using my thoughts but my pride as a nation of Legends and Comi will be destroyed, I want the real fight!"
"In a long time, I want to feel the fight without showing any mercy or anything...! I'm ready anytime, any risk or consequence I can take care of...!" Kou clenched both of his fists then showed his great determination.
Hana looks surprised, somehow he still can not continue this fight because he only felt fear and pity that Kou could have experienced severe pain or into a terrible accident.
"W-What are they doing...?" Ask Asriel.
"Kou seems to be communicating with Hana through the mind." Haruka replied, This is the first time she has seen Kou look so serious and upset about a fight.
The development was good enough for him even he could already show the same attitude as Korrina.
Hana receives one blow by Kouko so she falls on the floor with a surprised expression, Kou tries to realize Hana until she wants to fight with him.
"Hana, I can still see the compassion and restraint of your mind, everything I can feel..." Kou started talking back inside Hana's mind so she started to close her right eye.
"Did you not have any self-respect!? The descendants of Shimatsu and the Legend nation like you should not look at the feathers of the opponent, you will continue to fight and slaughter!"
Hana widens her eyes when Kou learns that, she can see Kou trying to stir up a sense of fighting intent with her before the audience and the judges get tired of seeing this semi-final.
"That's why I need your help to show myself to be a worthy Legend, a Legend who will face all his shortcomings and weaknesses!"
"imagine it! What happens if I win this fight just by knocking yourself down using a thought...!? You will definitely be considered inferior for losing to a sick girl like me!"
Hana felt offended when she heard the word low now, she started clenching both her fists and tried to remain patient with the words Kou was trying to help herself as well.
"Do you want Shimatsu Mizuhana to be considered lowly and a failure by your own family to be defeated by me without a fight!?"
"Rokuro is even better than you because he's top-ranked now! He was able to step on the final with all his strength and attitude without holding back or looking at the feather to the opponent...!!!"
Hana clenched her teeth and showed Envy's sinful expression inside her starting to burn so much that she felt so envious, Kou continued to compare herself to Rokuro and the others.
Even if he continues to talk about his pride and Shimatsu's descendants, he will never hold back until Hana is completely affected by Envy so that he can fight with all his strength.
"Stop...!" Hana who looks upset now.
"I'll stop if you want to fight! Still holding back and showing mercy was a failure for your descendant sen-" Kou widened his eyes when he saw Hana darting forward towards him at a speed he could not see.
One punch he released but a spirit behind Kou began to resist the attack until they crashed backwards, Hana had seen the form of a spirit that was shaped like Korrina.
"Qc...! Then go ahead, Kou...!!!" Hana exclaimed loudly so that her body gave rise to a blue aura with water bubbles surrounding her body.
All the spectators immediately cheered loudly when they felt Hana unleashing all the strength that she always held inside her, Kou smiled happily even he jumped up and down because he could not wait to fight seriously.
"Hana.. She looks serious now, Envy has affected her." Ophilia said while showing a look of surprise.
"Kou managed to do something to Hana so that she could fight without restraint, I'm sure Kou can survive if he is able to make Hana like this." Arata said because he could believe the two Legends could create a good fight.
Kou orders Kouko to move quickly and stabs Hana in the back using the dagger, causing her to spit out a lot of blood through her mouth until she kneels on the floor.
"Hhhhh...!!!" Hana clenched her teeth, trying to recover the wound.
"It's still not enough, Hana. You still have a little sense of restraint, it's not what I want but a big fight." Kou tries to push Hana so that she can step on even greater forces.
"Fight with your pride, you never believed in your power but I do believe you have such great potential as a Legend." Kou is now trying to encourage himself to fight.
"Hana. you are strong..."
"...it's just the gentleness and the sense of holding yourself back that locks your true strength." When she heard that through her mind, Hana immediately clenched her fists and rose from the floor with a serious look.
His aura this time increased much larger than before especially the clumps of water around him released upwards and created rainwater that was so heavy that it even soaked both of their bodies.
Kou showed a surprised expression now that his mind was able to read clearly that Hana was going to fight seriously, for the sake of becoming a very powerful Legend compared to all her friends and family.
Hana clenched her right fist so that the Leviathan dragon made of water began to surround her right arm.
"Hahhhhh!!!" Hana released a wave of water that was so big towards Kou, even to the point of shocking herself and then pushing Kou backwards.
Fortunately, he was able to survive by asking Kou to hold his body and slash all the waves until he eliminated it using a keris that he held.
The water waves grew so big that it surprised everyone because they were also doused with all the water magic that Hana released.
Kou and Kouko are now trying to hold back the waves before them with full force because Kou is currently at the border of the arena and he could have fallen because of the waves.
"That's what I'm waiting for..." Kou smiled.
"...Hannah!"
