With that in mind, you trace a few runes on your arm in order to supplement your physical strength, in addition to flowing magical energy through your arm to further increase your physical abilities. Of course, a part of you feels like you're going too far when you feel your arm creaking in pain just from the amount of unnatural strength flowing through it.

"OK! Ready?" Sakura calls to you and Sasaki, and the two of you nod. "3... 2... 1... Wrestle!" Sakura calls out the start of the match, and without hesitating for a moment you bring your massively enhanced arm down to the disk of energy, instantly defeating Sasaki without any effort at all and causing your arm to erupt in pain as tendons tear and bones snap from the rapid movement. You grit your teeth and try to ignore the searing pain in your arm that came as the price of your victory. Sasaki doesn't really look that bothered by his loss. He wasn't hurt, at least, so there's that. Then again, the man clearly wasn't giving it his all, his battle senses allowing him to know when to take a fall and simply allow himself to be overpowered rather than attempting to fight against the storm and getting his arm snapped off. "The winner is Shinji!"
