Chapter 12

**Finishing Move** is chapter twelve of the second volume of the manga.

## Summary

Seated on an ornate chair, Yachiho Azuma explains the nature of Peach blessings and how they can have various effects on a person's capabilities. She further explains that her own ability, Golden Hour, allows her stop or rewind time for five seconds after striking a pose. She admits it is a crazy power, but says it is normal for an Azuma.

At the 7th Unit dorm, Himari Azuma tells Yuuki Wakura that, although Yachiho's ability is powerful, she gets tired after using it a few times, which may give them an advantage. She then demonstrates the kind of pose Yachiho uses to activate it. Yuuki suggests that they should make use of their speed for their finishing move. Himari agrees, believing that if they can hit Yachiho hard and fast, it won't allow her a chance to use her power. Yuuki demonstrates a quick step forward and thrusting attack, but Himari suggests they work on it until it becomes unavoidable. Yuuki expresses his concern that a human would likely die from his attack, but Himari assures him that the referee of the match will heal all damage done and so they don't have to hold back. Himari orders Yuuki to focus his power in his legs, but nothing happens. She then tells him to try focusing his power in one part of his body, just as she does when she uses her Weapon Morphing. Yuuki tries again and this time his legs bulk up with increased power. Suddenly, two Shuuki appear and, on Himari's orders, Yuuki rushes at them and attacks. He finds that he can move much faster, but his punch is still not strong enough to defeat the Shuuki.

Later, after he has defeated the Shuuki and changed back to his human form, Yuuki remarks on how tired his legs are. Himari also observes that Yuuki's punches got weaker when he focused his power into his legs. She pats his head as his Slave reward and assures him they will keep working on their finishing move to make it better.

Some time later, while back in his Whirlwind form, Yuuki tries a kicking attack, but finds that it slows him down after dashing. He believes they should stick with him punching and Himari suggests he try refocusing his power towards his hands as soon as he punches. Suddenly, Kyouka Uzen appears and commends Himari for how hard she is working. Happily, Himari tells her they are working on a finishing move and Kyouka informs her that she herself had considered trying to focus Yuuki's power in one place. However, Kyouka asks Himari why she is only standing on the sidelines. Although Himari explains that she wants to observe Yuuki's actions, Kyouka retorts that Himari is not his teacher and she should consider what will be happening during the battle. With that, Kyouka leaves them to continue their training.

Understanding Kyouka's meaning, Himari gets on top of Yuuki to ride him, just as she will when they fight in the match. She pulls on his chain and orders him to focus his power. At once, Yuuki feels an incredible surge of power inside him. A Shuuki appears and, on Himari's order, Yuuki dashes towards it and destroys it with one blow from his hands. Himari is amazed, believing that this is definitely their finishing move. Yuuki himself is astonished and wonders if he will be able to do the attack again, but as more Shuuki appear Himari assures him they will have plenty of practice.

Later, after the Shuuki have been vanquished, Yuuki changes back to human and is almost completely exhausted. As Himari begins to give her reward, she says that, while the finishing move may damage Yuuki, it shouldn't be a problem if they continue to train and make it stable. Himari removes her shirt and bra and exposes her breasts as she cups them in her hands. Instantly, most of Yuuki's fatigue vanishes. Invigorated, he declares they will continue training once his chores are done. Though embarrassed, Himari is nonetheless pleased by his enthusiasm.

A few days later, as the Mato Exhibition Games are about to begin, Tenka Izumo tells Yachiho Azuma and another subordinate that their goal is a complete victory for the 6th Unit.
