Chapter 24: Intimidation! Bui Removes His Armor

"What's this, Bui?" the elder Toguro mused. "Are you saying you want to go? That's unusual for you, to become so affirmative. Very well, go out there and let them have a taste of the terror of death."

"Yusuke," Hiei voiced. "I wanted to go against black-glasses there, but out of consideration for Genkai, I'll concede him to you. I'll make do with that one." He moved to the ring.

"In the second match, for the Uramashi Team, Hiei." Juri declared. "For the Toguro Team, Bui."

"That's your weapon, is it?" Hiei inquired, Bui summoning his axe. "You intend to treat me like a small fry?"

"The second match of the final round, Bui versus Hiei. Begin!" Juri gave the go-ahead.

"Act like you mean it." Hiei chided, dodging Bui's first strike. "I don't even feel like fighting back. You think you can toy around with me, don't you?" he glared, dodging the stone tiles Bui tossed at him. "Jaō Ensatsu Rengoku Shō!" and incinerated the flying rocks with his flaming fist. His fist then met Bui's axe, breaking it. "Enough already." He snapped, Bui summoning another axe. "No matter how many axes you produce, it won't do you any good." With that, he vaporized the flying weapon with his fire. "I told you to come at me like you mean it. Do you think that non-Yoki conducting scrap iron will be of any use against me? I've just about reached my limit with you."

"Indeed, you don't appear to be an opponent I can beat with my armour in place." Bui admitted. "I have only been defeated in battle only one time before. I had only intended to remove this armour when I fought that man once again."

"You're sure about this?" Hiei smirked. "You'll end up taking my attacks head-on."

"Not to worry." Bui assured. "Usually, armour is worn in order to defend against attacks from the outside. But in my case, it's a little different." He added, shedding his armour. "I wear it in order to suppress my own power. A terrible power that not even I am able to reign in." at that, he unleashed his Battle Aura. "You get serious too." He insisted. "We'll make this something to remember."

"You're right." Hiei agreed. "I think I'll do just that. What?" his eyes widened when Bui's Battle Aura nullified his flames.

"Aura Battle Cross Attack!" Bui sent a cross-shaped energy blast at Hiei, only to have it backfire when Hiei led the energy blast back at its caster.

"What?" Hiei was stunned to find his opponent unscathed, his Battle Aura blazing as strongly as before.

"I told you to get serious." Bui reminded, removing himself out of the crater. "Did you think that such cheap tricks could get you anywhere? My temper is short. If you're going to continue to act so full of yourself, I'll kill you before you can use your Kokuryūha."

"Is that so?" Hiei snorted. "You want to see it that badly, do you? You're going to regret this." with that, he ripped off the seal and unwrapped the bandages around his arm. "There is no turning back now. I've forgotten how to wrap it up again."
