System vs Rebirth

*Boom!*

A figure suddenly appeared between them. He caught Shawn's fist with a single hand and did not flinch. At the same time, he punched Noel's phoenix as his Spiritual Energy swept the entire phoenix as though it was disintegrating it.

But the phoenix was far stronger than he originally thought and ended up exploding. The black flame soon devoured them, albeit it didn't last for too long before a single wave of hand extinguished the fire.

The one who appeared in the middle of the battle was none other than the Demon Hunting Squad's Captain, Hendry Igor.

"That's enough," Igor stated with a clear understanding. He glanced at Shawn for a moment before closing his eyes in disappointment. Of course, Shawn had done his best in his eyes. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough as he declared, "The winner of this competition is Iadre."

"!!!" The entire base was stunned, not believing what they had just heard. They had seen Shawn crushing a lot of Spirit Abilities, yet, Noel actually won to the point Igor had to take that attack by himself.

Igor hurriedly put his hand on the back as if trying to hide his hands. At the same time, his straight body and intense glare looked like he reluctantly admitted his defeat.

"You have won, Iadre."

Noel closed his eyes, feeling relieved. He used a Spirit Ability that he had just got after all, so he was worried that the ability wasn't strong enough. Even with the knowledge integrated into his mind, he still had to practice that ability after all.

Now that Igor had declared his victory, Noel could finally lower his guard a bit. Though, after making sure that his opponent or the spectators had no intention to sneak attack him.

"Captain. I'm not convinced. Do you—" Obviously, Shawn would complain. He hadn't fought against that phoenix once, so he wasn't convinced it was his loss.
