Missing among Shadows Kurai yoru no kage

Chapter Fourteen

Kanji's pov

I quickly maneuvered to get a good angle on Kami's neck, but he anticipated my action and launched a series of arrows at me, forcing me to evade each attack and move in closer. However, I successfully dodged the sharp projectiles and quickly closed in on Kami with my stilettos in hand. After a brief struggle, I successfully wielded my weapons to draw his blood before he had a chance to strike back.

The crowd of spectators erupted in a chorus of cheers as the judge announced the outcome of the bout. "And the winner is," he declared, "Akanji Pikaikaju!" The audience cheered as the victor emerged from the contest with a decisive victory. Seeing the judge's verdict reminded me that a fight's true outcome is decided by a variety of factors.

Overcome with joy at my victory, I leapt into the air in celebration. As the cheers of the audience engulfed me, I was presented with a new uniform consisting of a button-up shirt and a short skirt. Despite its somewhat revealing design, I accepted the new outfit and tried my hardest to appreciate the opportunity in front of me. After all, the chance to become a Shadow Hunter was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I didn't want to let my feelings of awkwardness deter me from fully savoring this momentous occasion.As the announcer shared the final results of the contest, he revealed that "In Strength, Kami won," "In Skill, Akanji won," "In Talent, it was a tie," but most importantly, "In Speed, Akanji wins!" "And in Reliability, Akanji wins!" This information prompted a roar of applause from the crowd, as Akanji's dominant victory in the contest was celebrated and recognized. With the outcome now set in stone, the spectators eagerly awaited the continuation of the exciting tournament ahead.
