"Hey hey! let me fight pretty girl!" Choji exclaimed as Togame just ignored him. "alrightttt whose going next" Togame called out, as the shorter male whined beside him about being ignored.

Sakura had a large grin on his face, as he was about to exit his seat. Hiragi immediately sat him back down as Sakura yelled in protest. "Huhhh! the first year's all fought already! so why do i gotta wait" Sakura gritted his teeth as the frown stayed implanted on his face. Hiragi stretched his limbs after sitting down for a long time as a sigh left his lips.

"well Togame is the second-in-command and it looks like he doesnt want to fight right now. Normally I would be fighting him but- " Sakura cutted him off, clearly annoyed as he yelled back. "What, are you saying that I can't win?" He accused Hiragi as he huffed in anger. "I never said that, therefore I'm leaving it in your hands" Hiragi mumbled, glancing at Sakura with a face of determination.

Sakura's eyes widened as he stared at Hiragi before turning away huffing and mumbling to himself. Nirei,suo and Umemiya were having thier own conversation as the girl was bandaging her own wounds with a pocket mirror. "jeez...how mean, who hits a girl anyways." She mumbled to herself while sugishita stared at her, "You accepted his challenge." She rolled her eyes as if it wasn't obvious. "I mean yeah, but could I really decline when everyone was accepting thier own battles" She huffed, ensuring the bandages were nicely bandaged on her wound.

Y/n looked back on the stage as Hiragi and Sako was having a civil conversation with each other. Well at first as the atmosphere around them immediately darkened as  Hiragi annouced outloud on how he would win the fight. 'Don't get cocky now...' Y/n thought to herself while she stared at the stage.  Choji impatiently stared at the stage as he yelled at the two contestants.

"Come on! hurry it up, fight already!" He yelled with a pouting expression on his face. Sako and Hiragi took that as a signal to begin while both got into a fighting stance, while only Hiragi. Since Sako immediately charged towards Hiragi, throwing different punches and kicks while Hiragi avoided the hits swiftly. The speed was between each hit/punch was Rapid and Brisky, but each was calculated with swift precision.

Sako then launched a 360 turning kick towards Hiragi's head which was unfortunately blocked by Hiragi's arm. The impact between each hit that landed across each block was powerful as you could hear the impact from miles away. "How powerful..." Y/n stared at them in awe as she grinned, gripping excitedly at her armrest.

Sako jumped back after his kick was blocked, before voicing out his opinion. "'I'm sorry but I'll be winning this one?" He spoke, the tone behind his words were mocking Hiragi as he repeated Hiragi's own words. "Even now, you're still looking down on me. I'm disgusted" The expression on Sako's face darkened as he stared at Hiragi. "The sako you knew before is long gone. And I'll beat that fact into you" Sako stated, getting into a stance. The two on stage had maintained eye contact throughout as they both had a frown stuck to thier face.

Not a second to waste as the both were back to fighting each other. Sako was about to do a turning kick before catching his foot and landing a front kick, which caught Hirahi off guard but managing to dodge the hit last minute. Oddly so, Sako's cheers for the fight was much louder than anyone else's. Maybe that's how strong Sako was considered in Shishitoren. Y/n had a finger on her chin as she raised a brow, watching the two. "How interesting..." She mumbled under her breath, eyes trying to match the pace of the ongoing fight.

As Y/n was in her thoughts, Hiragi must have said something to irritate Sako as Sako dashed towards Hiragi with a feint punch before kicking him by the face again. That kick sent Hiragi flying to hit the wall, causing him to go unconscious. But Y/n could tell that he was semi-conscious, just needed some time to recover. Sako stared down at the unconscious body before speaking up.

"forget about getting better, you've gotten weaker. " He then turned his head to look at Umemiya's figure in the crowd of people. "Thats cause you chose to hang out with losers like that" Hearing Sako insult Umemiya like that cause Sugishita to grip onto his chair, clearly about to pounce onto Sako if it wasnt for Y/n holding him back.

Right before Sako could continue speaking, he was cut off by Sakura yelling towards Hiragi. "Hey, shark teeth! you hear me?!" He jumped up from his seat as he was pointing at Hiragi's figure. Yelling about how Hiragi was embarrassing Furin with his sorry excuse of a weak stomach while Nirei held the boy from marching onto the stage.

"Calm down there Sakura. Your name is Sako right?" Umemiya continued smiling despite the current situation. "Hiragi is one of the four king's of Bofurin. He's also the leader of the team named after the heavenly king, Tatonten. Do you know Tatonten's other name?"

Sako had an obvious confused expression while listening to Umemiya speak. While Y/n was searching her bag for medicine, throwing it to Hiragi when she saw his figure slowly get up. Hiragi caught the pills in his hand, sending a nod to Y/n's direction before placing a hand on Sako's shoulder.

Just that action alone caused many shocked expression across the auditorium, afterall one would usually have fainted from such a powerful kick like the one Sako had done. "Man, it's been ages since I've taken a good kick to the face" Hiragi sighed, while shaking his head lightly.

Hiragi gave Sako a moment to compose himself before punching down at Sako's previous spot, making Sako jump back in shock. "But damn, I must have looked pretty lame huh...being yelled at by a first year, however your crazy strong. Very different from how you were before" He grumbled under his breath, as he glanced back up at Sako.

"People also know Tantonten's other name as Bishamonten. The one who controls the battlefield of war and battle" Umemiya grinned as he watched the stage. Hiragi was sighing as he popped a few of the pills into his palm, "no amount of pills is going to fix me now, im absolutely embarrassed and mortified. However, my life got a lot more fun" He stated outloud with a grin on his face, looking at Sako.

While Y/n was being held back by Nirei, as she was about to jump on the stage to scold Hiragi for not eating the prescribed amount of pills.
