Chapter 9

Total Control is the ninth chapter of the Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan manga.

Summary
Ikki gets up and readies his Ittou Shura technique against Kirihara. Kirihara, however, is not unnerved knowing Ikki cannot see him. Ikki knowing this, decides to use other details Kirihara had revealed, the trajectory of his arrows, his voice and what he said.

Kirihara, while Ikki was trying to figure out Kirihara, decides to continue his game and decides to name the next part of where he is going to shoot, the heart. Kirihara shoots the arrow but Ikki is able to catch it. Kirihara is shocked, and asks how Ikki is able to see him, and Ikki mocks Kirihara saying he has simply captured the hunter. Nene explains to Kirihara that it's over as Ikki is able to see through Kirihara himself. Ikki then explains that he was able to figure out Kirihara's location do to Kirihara continuously firing his arrows at him. Kirihara, however, still refuses to believe that Ikki can see him, although Ikki proves that he can understand him, by telling exactly what Kirihara had done in that instant.

Ikki then charges at Kirihara, scaring Kirihara into using million rain, as multiple arrows come flying against Ikki. Ikki however is able to block every single of them, shocking Kirihara even more. Nene comments that Kirihara has not yet mastered the art of attack without intent, which is what Ikki uses to see through Kirihara's every move. Kirihara then starts to panic, seeing that he will lose everything if he loses to Ikki. Kirihara then starts to realize that Ikki's true power comes from seeing through someone. Ikki then gets closer and closer, causing Kirihara to panic even more, even revealing that he was scared of pain. Ikki then slashes his sword down at Kirihara, purposefully missing him, as Kirihara falls out of his Area Invisibility, unconscious. Nene then points out that Kirihara can no longer continue, and the other announcer states that Ikki is the winner.
