Unconditional

The second the battle starts Weng immediatly disappears from the arena. The arena is confused thinking that he had ran away, however the only ones who knew better were the judges and the sorcerers.

Yumeno takes a defensive stance while opening her simple domain. She had decided that if he were to attack first then he would have to enter her simple domain before he could. However she had made a horrible mistake,

She assumed that he was a close range fighter.

An incredibly fast attack enters her domain in which, she was only able to barely dodge it making it leave a scratch on her cheek. She then mutters under her breath,

"An arrow?"

She shoots a wave of sound pulverizing the near by wall yet it failed to hit her target. She leaves her simple domain open while trying to sense where the rat was hiding.

And then it happened once again. Another arrow entered her domain in which she was barely able to dodge. The cycle would repeat itself several times until her whole body was covered in cuts and slashes that would all leak blood.

She was slowly struggling to open her simple domain while Cheng Wang still remained invisible. A voice then echoed around the arena,

"My Martial Art1 allows me to erase my presence from the world. Not only do I become invisible but also all the traces that should be left behind also disappear. It is impossible for you to beat me while I'm like this."

Yumeno slowly began to faint. The blood loss was becoming too much for her to handle. If she continued to fight she was ultimately going to fall unconscious, which is what she assumed to be his plan in the end. She muttered before collapsing to the ground,

"You sly bastard"

That was when the audience began to cheer for the Chinese man who had won the fight. However, amongst all of them, there was one person who began to cry. He was a little orange-haired boy with a face covered in freckles, as he sobbed he cried into the arena,

"YUMENO, ARE YOU GOING TO BREAK THE PROMISE WE MADE HERE?"

Slowly waking back up she saw that the only one cheering her on was the servant she left behind in Japan, Taro. In that moment memories began to flood back into her mind.

Several Years Ago

In a large castle-like building many seniors of old age sat around as they marveled at the god-like teenager that stood before them. The oldest among them then shouted,

"You are destined to be the next head of the Gojo Clan, I trust in you to succeed me, my son"

Owari just looked at him quietly before exiting the room. However, the quiet Yumeno who hid in the corner is then called over by her mother. She then spoke,

"And then there is you. Since you were born you haven't even inherited one of our family's cursed techniques, you possess no talent over Cursed Energy while your brother was already a grade 1 at your age. Your this family's failure, be better."

She slaps her daughter while shouting for her to get out of the room. 

As the door slammed behind her tears began to pour from her eyes. Like many times before she accidentally bumps into her older brother who waits for her on the way out. He asks her, "Are you okay?"

But pushing him away she simply shouts, "I HATE YOU."

She continues to run until she reaches the darkest part of her clan's territory. Inside the forest, she had built a little shelter for herself which she had meticulously kept a secret from her family. It was supported by tree branches and used vine roofs that were riddled with holes. As she stayed there and cried an orange-haired boy accidentally stumbles into the shelter. He asks the crying girl,

"Are you okay?"

But Yumeno only asks, "Are you here to mock me too?"

He thought for a moment before replying, "You're not the only one that was bullied ya know. I myself don't possess an innate technique, and I'm not that smart either. Everyone in my family says I'm gonna become a janitor when I grow up."

Yumeno then asked him, "My cursed technique only allows me to make a little bit of sound. Is there any hope for people like us?"

Taro then thought for a long moment. His seven-year-old brain struggled to come up with an answer but then he replied,

"We can only keep struggling. People like us have no talent and hard work will take too long. For people like us, humanity is our weakness, but at the same time it is our greatest strength, as long as we don't give up we can keep struggling."

He stretched out his arm while sticking out his pinky finger,

"Let's make a promise right now, You're never allowed to lose another fight whenever I'm watching you okay?"

Yumeno wrapping her pinky finger around also asked, "But whenever I struggle you have to cheer me on."

Taro said, "I promise."

As she wiped away her tears the two had not realized at the time that they had unconsciously made a binding vow. As long as the correct conditions were met as stated in the promise then Yumeno would gain temporary access to Taros cursed energy.

Back to present day

Yumeno shouted, "I WILL NEVER LOSE"

As she made that decleration a sudden surge of cursed energy began to explode from her.

"MAXIMUM OUTPUT: ECHO"

A loud white noise began to fill the arena that couldn't be heard by the watching audience for if they heard the sound being produced, they would most certainly die.

She then began to explain, "My cursed technique is the amplification of sound and natural frequencies. But that also means that if I decrease the frequency of sound then the amplitude also increases. Maximum Echo brings down the frequency of all sound produced, even the smallest blows of the wind to its lowest in order to produce the highest amplitude. Sound above 150 decibals is enough to rupture the human eardrums which my technique is capable of producing!"

Not far behind her the sounds of a man screaming could then be heard. It was Wang. He got on his knees on the floor while screaming at her to stop as he covered his now destroyed ears. They were bleeding heavily as he collapsed to the ground.

The boy tried to open his domain expansion but alas it was too late for him. The rapidly increasing sound was even disrupting the flow of his cursed energy making it impossible for him to do anything.

As he collapsed he finally fell unconscious, while Yumeno triumphantly stood over him.

Frosty Whipp then shouted over the mic,

"THE WINNER OF ROUND 2 IS GOJO YUMENO BRINGING THE JAPANESE TEAM TO 9 POINTS"
