36:Impact.

''That was the end of the Round of 32! Only 16 teams are remaining, next round teams will fight to qualify towards Quarterfinals, but first, we have another lottery to decide match-ups.''

''Lottery will start shortly, but before that, let us show our highlights of Round of 32.''

...

(Ichiro POV)

Ok, something is not right.

I noticed that my punches and movement seemed stronger and faster, I ignored it during the fight, but something definitely happened overnight.

''Ichiro, you alright? You look pale.'' I heard the club advisor ask me with a worrying tone.

I gave small smile and told him that I am alright, but he still kept looking at me with doubt.

I am only pale, because some recoil from the match, I have noticed that I can use [Ironic Edge] without any drawbacks, but [Iron Lance] is different, if I used it without proper training or before I used Recreaction Token, my fingers would break from the impact if I try to hit someone with it.

Now the drawback of the attack is nonexistent, not sure how it works, but my body is FAR from enough to handle the recoil from Iron Lance, but once my fingers are in point of impact while using it, my bones and fingers ignore the shock coming from the impact, therefore I don't get injured and I manage to use Iron Lance.

But there is a drawback... Technique Recreation Token removed the drawbacks when you perform the technique, but to use Iron Lance, you need to use your whole body in sync, to use the Iron Lance, your arm needs to move with sync with the rest of your body, but there is a thing which System didn't remove, I only won't receive the impact when I attack with Iron Lance using my arm, but I get some small shocks from the impact towards my body, the shock probably traveling through my bones towards my organs, which causes damage to my body and organs, it is not big enough of a shock to break a bone or cause an organ failure, but if I use it consistently, then I have a big problem, just like now, I used the Iron Lance about 5 times during the match, and my body is screaming in pain in the result.

My body is WEAK! I feel frustrated, but I need to remember that I am only 15 years old, my body is only growing from now on, my muscle density and bone density will only improve from now on.

I looked around the stadium and saw the tournament organizers about to hold the Lottery ceremony.

'My body needs rest, I hope it's team weaker than Snakeland...'

''You alright Ichiro, you really don't look fine,'' Lucas asked me, I gave him wry smile and told him that I am alright, which he didn't believe one bit.

'He is injured because of me... I should have fought instead, fuck!' Lucas thought while blaming himself.

''What's up?'' I asked Lucas who looked at the ground with frustration.

''...I should have fought, sorry, you got injured because of it...''

I kept blinking while looking at him, I chuckled a little bit and said to him.''It is my fault honestly, but it is also a good thing that you let me fight alone... I found something very important in this match...''

If I didn't fight alone, then I probably wouldn't have found the fault at Iron Lance, which could have cost me a match in the future, but I did and now I know that I need to be careful while using Iron Style.

Lucas looked at me and gave small smile and nodded.

''Lottery ceremony commences!'' I heard a loud voice, I looked at the central arena and saw one of the tournament organizers talking to the mic.
