Stardew Valley, but Rikkaidai

A new student, only 12 years old, arrived at the Rikkaidai tennis club.

His origin, identity, and past records were all unknown on the admission form. All that was known was that he was male,...

Chapter 126: First and Second Updates Players officially open the "Shura Shinto"...

Light ball... no, now it should be called light nuclear bomb!

As soon as he appeared, he blinded everyone present. His power and terrifying pressure brought an unpredictable sense of oppression to everyone present, not just Tokugawa Kazuya who was facing the ball head-on.

The 'light ball' that looked like a miniature artificial sun in Tokugawa Kazuya's palm passed to Yagi Kei, who slapped it back with a single blow, and it turned out to be a catastrophic nuclear bomb!

The U17 coaching staff was practically screaming Tokugawa Kazuya's name at the top of their lungs, trying to get him to avoid direct confrontation. The power of this goal wasn't even detectable by the machine; with his mere human strength—he was simply no match for it!

We can't let Tokugawa Kazuya's future be ruined so easily because of his aggressive nature.

"Get out of the way! Tokugawa!!!"

Tokugawa Kazuya struggled to resist the pressure of the ball. The shouts of his coach and teammates on the sidelines had been blurred into uneven sounds and could not be heard clearly.

The only thing with a strong presence is the huge sun that appears in front of you in an instant!

It's terrifying, every cell in my body is screaming fear, run away!

But his legs were firmly planted on the ground, unable to move at all. Tokugawa Kazuya lowered his eyes in a split second, realizing that he had unknowingly fallen into excessive fear. His brain was in an overly tense state, confusing his self-awareness.

Now, let alone running, I can't even move! !

In an instant, the light attack arrived in front of him - a nuclear bomb!

A sudden burst of brilliant golden light devoured everything. The entire stadium, the arena, and everyone were engulfed in this golden light of excessive heat and power. It expanded and expanded, expanding and expanding, the light encompassing almost every corner and killing every inch of shadow.

“——BOOM ...!!!”

It was shocking and endless, and even the final explosion created a mushroom cloud!

Continuously climbing up into the sky, in the dazzling golden light, the flames soared straight to the sky!

Yukimura Seiichi struggled to raise his eyes in the wind and saw the ceiling of the stadium engulfed in flames and light. Finally, he felt a sense of groundedness in his heart.

“…It’s finally here.”

Kirihara Akaya, who had struggled to crawl out of the ruins, was standing dazed and disheveled in the wind.

No, that's why Minister Yukimura suddenly looked at the closed ceiling and said, "I don't know if it can withstand it."

So I was waiting here...

I don't know if it's because I know Jibaimao too well, or because I know Jibaimao's behavior too well.

Thinking about it this way, the ability to make such accurate predictions is inseparable from the Rikkai University Tennis Club, which was constantly destroyed and rebuilt.

It's full of blood, tears, experience and lessons...

Kirihara Akaya was disheveled in the wind, and the U17 players were even more disheveled and confused.

Looking at the mushroom cloud soaring into the sky, the zenith of the blue sky can be seen in an instant.

The light shone freely, illuminating the dusty faces of everyone present, and also illuminating the special stadium that was reduced to ruins in an instant.

A huge hole was blasted out of the ceiling, and even the surrounding area had burn marks left by the high temperature and melting of the flames.

A nuke, a nuclear bomb... just like that? ?

This isn't the Rasengan from the next-door studio that you can just stretch out your hands and make... No, is this normal?! Huh??!

Someone is cheating here!!

But the focus now isn't on the superconducting nuclear bomb that was created by this hand, nor is it on Tokugawa Kazuya, who should be facing the ball directly in the center of the field! !

According to this destructive force, the scorching heat coming towards him, and the hole in the ceiling that had been blown out,

Tokugawa Kazuya, is he still alive?

The U17 players, covered in dust and dirt, with not a single spot clean from head to toe, struggled to move forward, struggling to support each other as they looked at the stadium, which they could only make out roughly... It should be a stadium,

Although the net had been completely evaporated by the high temperature, Takushi Ryuji on the coach's chair had also disappeared without a trace.

The only player left on either side was Mushroomhead, who was standing there with his racket in his hand. He noticed their gazes and raised his head to look towards them.

“…”

"Tokugawa... is he dead?"

“…Wuwu…”

"And Coach Takushi... also evaporated..."

"...I told him not to fight, not to fight, but he insisted. Now look what happened. There's not a trace of him left!!"

The U17 members had already begun to howl in agony. The Rikkai people who had finally crawled out of the rubble one by one were silent when they saw this.

I turned around and dug out Atobe Keigo,

Even if buried in the dust, he is still the most gorgeous. Atobe chuckled softly twice, "I will not let a simple and unglamorous action diminish my elegance—"

"Wow, wow, Tokugawa, you're leaving in such a miserable state!!"

The corner of Keigo Atobe's eye twitched, "My gorgeousness is——"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Coach Takushi, you died so miserably too!!!"

“…”

Saito Shi and Kurobe Yukio exchanged a glance, their expressions gradually becoming solemn.

The power of the "light-strike nuclear bomb" just now has exceeded the limit of the detection equipment. If it is in the center of the explosion area,

There is a high probability that Tokugawa Kazuya and Takushi Ryuji have met with misfortune.

But here comes the problem... the black-haired figure in the center,

How come it looks like nothing happened?

Not only was he fine, he was even jumping around, his clothes were only slightly dirty, and his overall condition was as good as it could be.

"Is this kid...really still human?"

“…”

"I have my doubts."

The U17 team had already begun to build a cenotaph, while the Rikkai University team looked at the situation and was at a loss as to what to do.

It seems a bit difficult to suggest taking the younger generation with me now...

Yukimura calmed his thoughts, scanning the status of the U17 base members nearby, paying close attention to the mess on the field, and quickly thinking about how to lead Rikkai Public to retreat safely.

Aside from the U17's screams and howls, the Rikkai University team stared in near silence.

The contrast between the two creates a strange noise and silence.

The U17 coaches, Saito Shi and Kurobe Yukio, finished reviewing the situation and collecting more data, and were about to come forward to say something.

As everyone watched closely, the black-haired figure on the field suddenly moved.

“…”

“——!”

Because the light bomb appeared out of nowhere, everyone's fear of him overwhelmed all other emotions.

As soon as he moved, there was no time for anyone to react. Those who were wailing, crying, digging, or thinking silently all took a big step back, their bodies instinctively searching for safe areas and hiding places. Almost in a flash, the place was empty, without a single figure.

Even the two U17 coaches ran faster than their players.

The people of Rikkai who witnessed this scene: "..."

Oh well... Now, it seems like I don't have to worry about any cat thieves anymore...

Not to mention stealing a cat, even if the cat came to steal, I wouldn’t dare to move.

Yukimura couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his emotions were a little complicated. He felt a sense of grief for the U17 team members.

Back then... they were also tortured by Kei in the same way, but now they have gradually gotten used to it...

When I think about it this way, it seems that Kei treats everyone quite gently. At least he drops bombs on everyone instead of nuclear bombs...haha.

Yukimura successfully convinced himself as he thought about it, and his gaze towards the younger junior became even gentler.

When I looked closely, I saw the cat was digging in the ruins with its butt sticking up and holding a tennis racket!

“…”

Seeing this, Yukimura's expression became serious: "Kyu...what are you digging now?"

The digging sound became louder, like an excavator.

Now even the U17 members who had retreated couldn't help but come closer, but they didn't dare to get too close. However, curiosity got the better of them.

Although they knew deep down that curiosity killed the cat, facing a dilemma, the U17 players exchanged glances, resolutely hiding behind the Rikkai group and quietly peering into the field.

Haha, hiding behind this kid's accomplices won't blow them up, right?

Knowing what was going on, the U17 members peeked over furtively. The Rikkai people glanced at each other, but didn't try to stop them and looked back.

In full view of everyone, the only living person in the ruined stadium is Kei Yagi!

Holding the racket, he dug a big hole with "bang bang bang bang". He drilled the ground in a spiral shape, going down and down in front of everyone's eyes. Dust flew everywhere, and the scene was full of sandstorms!

"Is he digging a well...?"

"I don't know, I don't know..."

"It's okay, just dig a well. As long as they don't drop nuclear bombs, digging the sea is no problem..."

A light bomb successfully washed away the psychological defenses of all U17 players towards Jibaimao, and their tolerance for Jibaimao expanded to an incredible level.

——Since the child likes to do it, let him do it!

Amidst the tolerance (favor) of the Rikkai crowd and the tolerance (fear) of the U17 crowd, the player who dug down with a tennis racket in hand—

Finally succeeded in digging out the dungeon BOSS (fainting)!

I also fished out the NPC referee.

U17: “!!”

Rikkai University: “!!”

Everyone was shocked to see the black-haired figure carrying a Tokugawa Kazuya on the left and a Takushi Ryuji on the right, and then he came out of the pit with a thud.

“…I’m so, so touched!!”

The U17 players covered their mouths, they were really moved this time.

——The cat is so humane!

"He actually put aside past grudges and rescued his opponent—and his opponent's coach! This kid has a really good heart!!"

"——He's simply one of the top ten people in Japan who moved me this year. I'm going to make him faint!!"

The people of Rikkai looked at them with complicated expressions, then looked at the ruined stadium. Their understanding of Jibaimao made them feel that this matter was not that simple!

The U17 members, deeply moved, were about to walk out from behind Rikkai University to welcome the returning human nature of the chicken-bitten cat—

The next second, the sound of opening a can was heard.

Facing the expected satisfied gazes of the Rikkai crowd, the U17 group blankly stared at the black-haired boy holding a can of drink in each hand.

At first glance, the naked eye can't see anything special, but as the can opened, the next second, the chicken and the cat kicked each one directly,

Tokugawa Kazuya and Takushi Ryuji, who had lost consciousness and only had their physical instincts left, opened their mouths reflexively. The player generously used [Gui Juice (N Generation Super Comprehensive Improved Upgrade Supreme Edition)] on the two NPCs' mouths!

The drink, brimming with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple light—even more dazzling than Tokugawa Kazuya's 'Colorful Serve'—was poured straight into the mouths of the unconscious but wide-open Tokugawa and Takushi Ryuji.

"What did he...give them to drink?"

"...I don't know, I don't know. It shouldn't be poison, right?"

He looked for help at his accomplice who had broken the cat. When he opened his eyes, he found that everyone in Rikkai had taken a step back. Even Yukimura Seiichi, the leader, had beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

This time, even the guy who kept saying "gorgeous", Atobe Keigo, turned away with a pale face, as if nothing had happened and he didn't see anything.

Noticing the gazes of the U17, Yukimura Seiichi forced himself to remain calm and smiled, "Well...don't worry, Kei didn't poison your companions."

“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!!!!”

Lying dead one second, resurrected the next!

Tokugawa Kazuya and Takushi Ryuji jumped up from the ground at lightning speed, two people jumped three feet high, covered their mouths with their hands, and their faces turned from yellow to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and finally half black and half white in front of everyone.

Tokugawa Kazuya was already a lingering soul, barely able to speak, with only the most instinctive physical reactions remaining. He was crawling, rolling, wailing, biting, and screaming everywhere -!

On all fours, without the usual grace, only the wildest instincts remained.

Oni Jujiro and Irie Kanata witnessed this and slowly stretched out Erkang's hand to try to save some of the pain, but they were afraid of being bitten if they stretched too close, so they hesitated.

A wild roar flew past overhead!

Takushi Ryuji was much more direct. He transformed into an enraged gorilla and tore his clothes with his big hands. He then ran around the stage, swinging back and forth, performing aerial acrobatics on the spot.

It was him who just flew over the heads of Onijūjiro and Irie Kanata - in a trance, he actually felt the pleasure of returning to the freedom of the wild!

Yukimura smiled, facing the confused and frightened faces, and said slowly: "See, I told you Kei didn't poison you~"

“…”

“…”

——This is worse than just poisoning him!!

No, they've regressed to their original state! Are they still human?!

So horrible! So horrible!!

Not only that kid, but the whole gang of him—they're also completely terrifying!!

Suddenly, all the U17 members retreated together, forcibly widening the distance between themselves and Rikkai University, wishing they were a hundred feet away.

On the field, the player who used the juice to pull back the two NPCs waited and waited again.

What’s going on? Why haven’t we entered battle mode yet?

The player's copy has not been completed yet, quickly transform the player into a copy BOSS!

After swinging for a long time, Takushi Ryuji regained consciousness at a certain moment and found himself naked and howling at the sky.

He paused, and a flood of memories came flooding back!

He paused, remained silent for a long time, and slowly looked down at the U17 base players who were looking up at him tremblingly.

Sensing his gaze, everyone was startled and immediately ran away, shouting, "It's over! Coach Tuozhi is coming again. If you have a banana, throw one at him!"

Takushi Ryuji: "..."

His face was pale, and he was unable to recover from the devastating blow after a long time. However, compared to Tokugawa Kazuya, who had also regained consciousness and whose soul was almost leaving his body, he was at least calmer.

Takushi Ryuji and Tokugawa Kazuya looked at each other slowly, their hearts filled with bitterness. They should have exchanged their feelings and comforted each other's pain as the victims.

Player - Flash!

He stuffed the racket he picked up into Tokugawa Kazuya's hands.

Tokugawa Kazuya paused, then looked down at the black-haired boy staring at him with dead eyes.

After a long time, he slowly said: "You..."

What are you dawdling about? The player just skipped the conversation with one click, urging and urging, constantly poking and urging,

Tokugawa Kazuya looked at Yagi Kei, who was always calm and composed, and raised his head to him.

"War?"

“…”

Takushi Ryuji watched without saying a word, and only patted Tokugawa Kazuya's shoulders twice slowly and forcefully.

When you meet such an opponent, no need to say anything, just come and fight!

Although everyone present did not know what was going on, they were all infected by the inexplicable surge of passion and could not help but get excited.

“——Fight! Fight! Tokugawa! Fight!!”

“Fight!! Fight!! Tokugawa——!”

The shouts gathered into a river, echoing over the entire ruined stadium.

The crowd's shouts grew more and more excited, and in a trance, they felt that they were the ones who were about to stand on the court and fight alongside Tokugawa Kazuya - the ones destined to fight against the chicken-bitten cat! !

Having witnessed everything, Rikkai University was in a state of confusion.

Kirihara Akaya hit the nail on the head, "Eh...have they forgotten that Kei just launched a nuclear bomb..."

Immersed in the atmosphere, the U17 players were now focused on Tokugawa who had returned to the field.

Tokugawa Kazuya——represents the highest combat power of their U17 team. When he returned to the court, he undoubtedly announced to the whole world that their U17 team——

“1:0!”

“Beep beep!”

“2:0!”

“Beep!”

“3:0!!”

Whistles blew one after another, without deviation, without surprise, without miracles,

Picking up the racket and returning to the court, Tokugawa Kazuya, who represented their U17 team to face Yagi Kei, was beaten again!

U17: “…”

Ying.

Players scored points one by one, constantly reducing the health bar of the dungeon BOSS who had re-entered the combat mode.

[Ding! Instance boss Tokugawa Kazuya uses the skill 'Colorful Serve'!]

——Normal attack!

[Ding! The dungeon boss, Tokugawa Kazuya, has used the skill 'Light Strike'!]

——Normal attack!

Yeah, my A-style method!

The players had a lot of fun fighting, and finally, they pushed the health bar of the opposing copy boss, Tokugawa Kazuya, down to the last two bars.

Takushi Ryuji blew the whistle, "4:0!!"

Once again it was Tokugawa Kazuya's turn to serve.

Dead silence spread. He did not pick up the ball and perform his skills like before. This time, he held the yellow tennis ball tightly in his hand and looked at it deeply.

Then he slowly raised his head and looked deeply at his opponent on the other side of the net.

It's not Byodoin, it's Kei Yagi.

His opponent is the one standing in front of him, the one who completely crushes him - Kei Yagi!

"That is..."

Onijūjiro, who had been silent since the match resumed, finally made his first sound.

Irie Kanata adjusted his glasses and looked in the same direction—

The two of them moved in sync and keenly captured the scent of the door opening!

His gaze shone. After countless trials and tribulations, and days of joint training, the two of them had never been able to officially enter the realm. Now, Tokugawa used it—

Ding!

[——Aura detected, data updating... loading... Instance boss Tokugawa Kazuya's data updated!]

【Notice! Notice! Notice! 】

[The dungeon boss, Tokugawa Kazuya, is about to enter a new mode! ]

The yellow ball suddenly flashed, tossed, swung, and smashed—"Bang, bang!"

The player quickly scanned the prompts that popped up in front of him,

It seems that the dungeon boss is using cheats to enter the second stage just like the previous boss.

The player plays A back and pauses before hitting the ball.

Huh? Not a skill, just a basic attack?

The experience of brushing the game makes players feel that something is wrong.

Generally speaking, if a dungeon boss who always uses skills suddenly stops using skills and switches to basic attacks, this means - this guy is definitely going to use his ultimate!

[Ding!]

[——The dungeon boss, Tokugawa Kazuya, has now successfully unlocked the Shura Shinto! ]

...Shura Shinto?

The ball that was doubled back flew straight towards Tokugawa Kazuya's face. His expression did not change at all. He just raised his eyes slightly and stared deeply at Yagi Kei on the opposite side.

Then he suddenly swung his racket!

The moment the racket was swung, a breath of space-tearing spread out!

“That’s—!”

Onijūjiro, Irie Kanata, and even the U17 and Rikkai crowd on the sidelines couldn't help but pay attention—

The torn space was filled with a terrifying oppressive force, endless, almost sucking in the infinite, stripping away everything. From the top to the end of the racket, the arc's trajectory was dark and heavy.

Looking closely, it seems as if there are endless stars and mysteries hidden inside, attracting everyone's attention and stopping everything that comes into contact with it -

The rotation, the angle, the power—all erased!

Tokugawa Kazuya stared at Yagi Kei across the net, "This is my Shura Shinto—'Black Hole'!"

"—Now, whatever ball you hit back will stop under the influence of the 'black hole'!"

Everyone in U17 was shocked: "——'Black Hole'?!"

This is a completely different power from Onijūjiro. The functions of 'Demon Incarnation' and 'Black Hole' are completely different.

Watching the court, Tokugawa Kazuya continuously used 'Black Hole' to stop the return shots that were multiplied by Yagi Kei to two, four, six, and even dozens of times.

The U17 players slowly realized... this was the dawn of victory!!

If we keep stopping like this, no matter how strong the opponent is, he won't be able to show his strength at all!!

This is a total restraint chain!!

It can be said that this was the first time that everyone in Rikkai, including Atobe Keigo, officially witnessed this power.

"...Shura Shinto, huh?" Yukimura Seiichi said slowly.

Kirihara Akaya stared at Yagi Kei in the field. Although the younger junior's face did not change expression, he was more nervous than Yagi Kei.

This was the first time I had seen such an ability, stopping the ball... stopping Kei's return ball, forcing Kei to not be able to use his strength,

Kirihara Aka, who was concerned about his juniors, clenched his palms tightly and clenched his fists.

"Damn...damn guy!"

The expressions of the people in Rikkai were not very good. Even if they did not understand the situation, they could already tell from the situation that what was involved now... was a power and world that they could not reach!

All they can offer to their junior is trust, believe in him... believe that he can crack this problem!

“…Damn it!”

Compared to the people in Rikkai who were emotionally upset due to their own lack of strength, the players were not even affected.

Fighting against the dungeon BOSS for hundreds of rounds is just a piece of cake.

However, there are other things that attract the players' attention.

It's not Tokugawa Kazuya. Although he has activated the so-called "Shura Shinto" and "Black Hole", it seems to be a defensive skill and cannot cause any damage to the player...

The part that attracted the players' attention was the transparent pop-up window that kept flashing colorful lights in front of them.

It popped up when I was fighting the BOSS in the previous dungeon, but because a special NPC suddenly appeared and I didn't notice it, the pop-up window disappeared.

Now it reappears——

[Ding!]

[Data update… Update completed! Collection completed!]

Congratulations! You can now use it more accurately!

The player lowered his eyes, and the colorful pop-up window in front of him was almost squeezed to his hand.

The border is shining, and there is a faint glint of infinite golden light. Just a slight touch——

Just for a moment,

【·Click】

【Successful use! 】

There was a slight sound, and something seemed to be flowing out. The liquid... was turbid, dark, and unclear.

spread, so that everything lost its sound,

Everything has lost its existence.

Only him.

[Congratulations! You have opened the Shura Shinto——]

[Its name—'Abyss'.]
