Vol.2 Ch.75: 30F - Battle x Gamble (7)

30F - Battle x Gamble (7): The restless Sophia Amae is ceaselessly searching the Acorn Workshop for Beta, who's abandoned his messy dark room full of skewered teddy bears, or 'cage' as she referred to it in the message she sends to Cassano, who's currently watching the last round of the individual matches.

The battle between Ran and Anak continues with increasing amounts of collateral damage. Throughout their battle it becomes clear that Ran, who's dodging all of Anak's attacks and countering them with ease, has the upper hand. The irritated Anak, after getting kicked into the stadium's wall, asks Ran how he became so powerful. Ran explains that by swallowing 'Redan', a baang containing highly concentrated electrical shinsoo properties, he can drastically boost his power for a limited amount of time - 5 minutes. This causes the spot called 'Soo Heun' to appear on his face, which varies from user to user depending on the redan's effectiveness, and also after the effect of the redan diminishes, the user's body gets paralyzed.

When she smirks at Ran, who's just revealed his weakness, he simply responds by saying that 5 minutes is more than enough to beat her. This taunt makes Anak completely snap, and by exploiting her greatest weakness - her pride, Ran manages to create an opening and pierces the falling Anak with his lightning sword technique.

"I guess this battle went how I expected to." are Koon's final thoughts, while his betting screen's showing that he bet all-in on Ran's victory.

SIU's Afterword
I heard that kids grow up by fighting.

If they fight like that... the reason why Ran smiled when Anak used her shinsoo is because when you produce baangs, your body enhancement weakens greatly. It's hard to produce baangs and keep your body enhancement at the same time ^^;;

I actually put this information in this chapter, and re-sent the chapter to Naver, but for some reason Naver didn't upload the version with that information in it. The reason I didn't put this info in in the first place is because I didn't want to kill the pace of the battle. I don't know whether to reupload it or not hehe.

Anak does have more baangs then Ran, but Ran uses them more efficiently. Because of that you really can't say that Anak's a better Wave Controller then Laure in Season 1 (out of all the regulars in the story so far, Laure uses shinsoo the most efficiently).

The individual matches are about to end and we will be soon advancing to the next part of the story, so please anticipate the next chapter ^^

And take care of yourself since it's very hot recently. Thank you!
