Academy War God: Unrivalled Magic

Chapter 95: The Broken Bow Duel × The Gambler's Victory



The Broken Bow Duel × The Gambler's VictoryOutside Ryūga Arena, Tōun Academy [Archery Club - Vice Captain - Hakufu Kamiya] - A prodigious archer from the Sōran Academy, known as the "Broken Bow Prodigy with Perfect Aim," now stands at the front of the battlefield with a cold, frosty expression. Through his combat-grade aiming scope, his gaze is fixed on his opponent without a hint of emotion - the president of the Magic Club, Yomi Crows.

At this moment, Yomi Crows is holding black and red playing cards, his eyes are as deep as the ocean, and his aura is still echoing with the Queen's whispers.

[Act I: Killing Intent Like Arrows - The Queen's Interference] Hakufu Kamiya takes the initiative - three successive arrows tear through the air, their trajectories dancing unnaturally in the wind, each laced with a bizarre rhythm of "Wind-type Interference Magic Seals".

"Wind-bending technique? No-psychic guidance?"

Yomi barely dodges, his Black Jack card instinctively flying up to block the second arrow.

But the third - it splits into seven illusory arrows right before his eyes.

That's when Queen begins to whisper.

"That arrow won't kill you...but I can."

His heart stutters, his footwork falters, the flow of magic is interrupted.

"Is the power you seek... really just to protect?"

"You don't just want to win, do you? You want to dominate..."

"You want to see them... kneel before you, don't you?"

Yomi grits his teeth, playing cards fluttering as he forcefully casts Phantom Shield Array.

But the queen's illusion smiles behind him, her expression overlapping with Sayo Hōdō's gentle warmth - at that moment, his mind nearly shatters.

[Act II: An Arrow to Break the Illusion - Hakufu's Wager] Hakufu doesn't attack. Instead, he draws his bow to the limit and nocks an arrow imbued with Wind-Splitting Enchantment.

This shot is not about speed - it is about precision. It's a strike meant to shatter illusions.

"I'm not good at theatrics."

"But if it's to break your magic... I only need one shot."

He closes his eyes, letting the morning wind brush his fingers.

The next moment - the bowstring sings like a mountain splitting open!

-Illusion-Piercing Arrow: White Thunder Rending Edge!

A special spiritual arrow designed to pierce advanced mental structures and visual illusions!

Yomi can't dodge or block it completely. He uses Black Jack to protect his vital points.

The entire battlefield trembles.

[Act III: Queen's Echo × The Gambler Awakens] Amidst the dust and smoke, Yomi kneels on one knee, blood dripping from his lips. But his eyes now glow with a familiar yet strange light.

"Your arrow hit me."

He smiles weakly.

"But in my games... victory is never decided by a single move."

Hakufu's brow furrows. He suddenly notices dozens of playing cards behind Yomi, forming a circular magical array!

-Players Array: Illusion Chain Link!

A trap that ties the opponent's combat rhythm to the altered "turn structure" of the cards!

Hakufu suddenly realizes - his famous precision... no longer works.

"You... changed my perception of the battle?!"

Yomi steps forward. The Black Jack turns to the last card.

-Reversal card: Fate Terminator - Temporarily Unsealed He throws it, shattering the jar on Hakufu's shoulder. The result is clear.

[Broken Bow Foreshadowing × The Dark Victor's Reflection] Hakufu kneels, the bow in his right hand subtly cracked.

He looks up to Yomi, his voice still calm: "It seems you're more than just a mage.

Yomi answers quietly:

"I am a player."

Then he turns and walks away, the queen's whisper echoing like a heartbeat, growing louder.

[In the recovery room, Tendo Kyōichi, still wounded, watches the battle replay from his bed. A faint smile flickers across his lips.

"So... the Black Blade can no longer pierce your heart?"

He chuckles - but coughs up blood.

"But you have begun to hear the whispers of the cards... Yomi Crows, your real battle is just beginning."
