-1255- Did you give it your all?

At the vacant lot next to the first student dormitory of Hagun Academy, on this day, it suffered a devastating blow.

All the students could sense the tremendous commotion here, but they all refrained from coming to check it out.

"Is it the Crimson Princess and the Witch of the Deep Sea causing trouble again?"

"And that Worst One has been involved as well."

"Don't they understand what it means to show mercy?"

"They really are a group of problem children."

With such thoughts, the students subconsciously assumed it was the same old situation, even though this time the commotion was unusually large. Whether it was the appearance of colossal flame dragons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, or the scene of countless chains swirling up into the sky like a tornado, each of these scenes made the students tremble with fear.

Despite the exceptionally alarming fluctuations in magical power during this period, it didn't seem like child's play at all. Still, the students were reluctant to approach, fearing being caught in the crossfire.

Naturally, the students ignored and avoided the situation, and even those closer to the area hurriedly left, unwilling to get involved.

However, the teachers of the academy couldn't do the same.

At the very least, the chairman was once again alarmed and could see the commotion from afar.

However, when she saw the countless chains soaring into the sky, Shinguji Kurono sighed as if she understood something.

"Do those guys really want to demolish Hagun Academy?"

Shinguji Kurono could only sigh silently.

"Truly worthy of being the world's number one and number two in magical power. They've truly broadened my horizons."

Even Saikyo Nene watched from afar with great excitement, laughing heartily.

One can only imagine how intense Rozen and Stella Vermillion's confrontation was this time.

And the raging winds and impacts in that vacant lot finally gradually subsided after who knows how long.

"Has it finally stopped?"

"Truly..."

Kurogane Ikki and Kurogane Shizuku approached with lingering fear, looking at the scene before them, both speechless.

What lay before the two was no longer a complete vacant lot but a disaster site, utterly destroyed and turned into a vast, gaping crater.

It was as if a real meteor had struck; within the enormous crater, everything emitted a fiery red heat, turning into scorched earth, leaving nothing behind.

Only the two combatants remained, standing opposite each other but displaying completely different states.

"Did you go a bit too far?"

Rozen chuckled slightly, waved his hand, and turned the silver-white chains hovering around him into a mist of blood, causing them to dissipate.

"Ha... ha..."

Stella Vermillion, on the other hand, raised her Device into a defensive posture. The flames on her "Empress Dress" had long since turned into faint sparks, disappearing without a trace.

It seemed that in the final moments, Stella had concentrated all her magical power into her "Empress Dress" and, with the help of her "Lævateinn," managed to block the silver-white spear-like attack descending from above.

However, blocking such a formidable attack head-on came at a cost for Stella; her magical power was nearly depleted, causing the flames on her body to finally extinguish completely. She continued to pant heavily, unable to stop for a moment.

"Clang!"

Stella involuntarily drove her "Lævateinn" into the ground, leaning on it to support herself and avoid collapsing.

But this was Stella's limit.

This realization dawned on Stella.

"You lost."

Rozen declared this to Stella.

"I..."

I haven't lost yet!

Stella wanted to say this, but the reality had already proven otherwise.

The final result of this duel was that Rozen remained completely unscathed and even appeared nonchalant, evidently still in control.

On the other hand, Stella's magical power was nearly depleted. Even though her recovery ability was strong, her magical power was recovering at an astonishing speed. However, as long as she didn't admit defeat, the next second, the silver-white chains would swoop in and bind her.

And this time, Stella wouldn't be able to evade Rozen's incredibly agile and versatile chains.

Being unable to evade and being bound by Rozen's chains would mean the end of everything.

Under the magic sealing effect of the "Injunction Shackles," even the strongest Blazer would have to accept defeat unless they had a specific ability to counter it.

Especially for Stella, who relied on her powerful magical power to unleash strong attack power, defense power, and versatile abilities, once her magical power was sealed, she would be basically powerless.

So, refusing to admit defeat now was just self-deception.

"You lost."

Rozen stared at Stella and repeated his statement calmly.

"Mm..."

Stella could only grit her teeth and swallow all her frustration.

And then...

"I... I lost..."

Stella reluctantly admitted the result with extreme dissatisfaction.

"Good."

Rozen nodded extremely satisfied, almost as if saying, "Finally, I don't have to play house anymore," so leisurely that Stella couldn't help feeling infuriated.

"Did you really give it your all?"

Stella couldn't help but ask.

To this, Rozen's response was as follows:

"At least, in that final blow, I did give it my all. You should be able to see that, right?"

Rozen's answer made Stella suppress her dissatisfaction.

In that final blow, Rozen's gaze became more focused, no longer as lackluster as before.

This proved that in the end, Rozen did give it his all.

Of course, only within the constraints of using the "Injunction Shackles."

Rozen didn't need to say these things.

However, there was one thing that Rozen felt he needed to say.

"Do you think you've really unleashed all your power?"

Rozen posed this inexplicable question.

"What do you mean?" Stella frowned in confusion and asked straightforwardly, "Of course, I gave it my all, but unfortunately, I still lost."

It seemed that Stella was still very concerned about winning or losing.

But Stella didn't know.

"In my opinion, you haven't really unleashed all your power."

Rozen said this very calmly.

"Haven't really unleashed all my power?"

Stella was suddenly stunned.

"I ask you." Rozen looked at the stunned Stella and reminded her, "You just used a Blazer Technique called 'Dragon Stomp,' right? How did you develop that?"

"How did I develop it..." Although puzzled, Stella answered honestly, "I just naturally knew how to do it."

Yes.

She just naturally knew how to do it.

The Blazer Technique called "Dragon Stomp" was developed by Stella during one of her practices. She felt she could do it, so she naturally used this move, which was a flash of inspiration.

Many Blazer Techniques of Blazer were actually developed this way, not necessarily through specialized thought and development but sometimes just a flash of inspiration and then using it.

The problem was...

"The so-called Blazer Techniques refer to using Devices and abilities, right?"

Rozen posed the most crucial question.

"But for your other Blazer Techniques, that move 'Dragon Stomp' has nothing to do with the ability of flames, right?"

Such a question left Stella completely stunned, unable to react anymore.
