Chapter 127: Players begin to usurp the throne of U17!

Quiet,

As if everything had lost light, sound, existence,

Only the extremely silent darkness and him remained.

Standing there, silently, just standing there quietly watching everything, was Yagi Kei.

Only him.

“What…what happened…?”

Some people who were puzzled tried to ask, but the moment they spoke, they could hear nothing, as if their voices were also erased... No, not erased,

Here, where even light cannot penetrate,

It is swallowing.

His lips opened and closed, and no matter where he turned his head or where he looked, there was only absolute deep darkness and silence.

This time, it was not just Tokugawa Kazuya, but also Oni Jujiro who opened the 'Shura Shinto' was silent for a long time.

The gurgling sound is like some turbid liquid with a rich and sticky texture, dark, unclear, and unknown.

spread,

Irie Kanata sensed something and slowly looked down at his feet. It seemed like the surface of a liquid, or more like he was standing on a black, turbid, unknown liquid.

Without a shadow, I cannot see myself, and can only perceive vaguely.

But above all, an extremely clear thought filled the minds of everyone present.

They are being watched.

Being looked at, stared at, locked onto, scrutinized, judged, evaluated...

A bit of icy cold seeped into the bone marrow, and it was almost impossible to restrain the chattering of teeth. The moment they realized that the current environment was not normal, some people with low tolerance could not control their mentality and collapsed.

“W-Where the hell is this place!! I don’t want to stay here anymore—let me out!!”

"What the hell is this—let me out! Let me out, ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The wailing sounds came one after another, but without exception, not a single one of them was transmitted smoothly. When they reached the ears of others, they were like a drop of water sinking into a stream or a river, dissipating without spreading even a ripple.

The Rikkai players were also caught up in the situation, but compared to the U17 players who were in a state of panic, they quickly calmed down after a brief moment of shock and confusion.

The three giants of Rikkai University, led by Yukimura Seiichi, even began to quickly analyze the current environment.

Before the overwhelming darkness and gloomy presence hit them, their eyes, which had never been taken away from Yagi Kei, helped them catch a glimpse of something unusual.

For example, the shadow under Yagi Kei's feet was stretched infinitely, stretched to the limit, and even spread outwards.

And the dark, deep, even a little overwhelming, terrifying aura that slowly emanated from his body, making people want to retreat and avoid it.

['Shura Shinto']

Yukimura did not forget the words spoken by the opposing U17 player, Tokugawa Kazuya.

'Power from another dimension'...

A world that has never been seen before, but based on everyone's understanding of Yagi Kei's daily interactions,

If the opponent displays some extraordinary power, then in the next moment, Jibaimao will definitely get it completely, and even use it directly with one turn of sovereignty.

So... could this be Kei's 'Shura Shinto'?

Yukimura, Sanada, and Yanagi realized this at the same time, and even the other members of Rikkai University had a vague sense of it and had a vague guess.

After this guess came out, the fear in my heart actually eased a lot.

If it's Kei's power...

The people at Rikkai stopped being afraid and started looking around, feeling proud as if their own children were showing off their skills and prowess on stage at a school performance.

What 'black hole'? It's only so tiny when it's created - it's nowhere near as impressive as their juniors' 'Ashura Shinto'!

Look around here, it’s so dark!

Look at this space, how quiet it is!

Look at the scope of this impact, how huge it is!

Even brought a half guardian, Atobe Keigo, who quickly realized that this was the so-called "Shura Shinto"

He wandered around with a strange expression and mixed feelings, and finally compared it to the 'Black Hole' that Tokugawa Kazuya had used before, and gave a reluctant and satisfied comment, 'Compared to that guy, it's still quite gorgeous—'

Tokugawa Kazuya, completely unaware of the constant comparisons he was being made to, was now completely immersed in Yagi Kei's "Shura Shinto" - the "Abyss".

Unlike the U17 players who were watching the game from the sidelines, who were isolated in their single rooms, the friendly team of Rikkai University and Atobe were exploring and groping.

Tokugawa Kazuya felt as if he was on the edge of an abyss, walking on thin ice. His body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead. He couldn't even move his feet, let alone swing his racket.

He opened his eyes wide and tried to see, but the area of ​​his vision was pitch black, with no light, no sound, and no existence.

Even his own breathing, the rush of blood, and the sound of his heart beating in his chest were gradually fading away.

He could clearly sense something sticky and ominous wrapped around him. The harder he struggled, the more his strength was dissipated.

He held the racket and used 'Black Hole' repeatedly with all his might!

In the little starlight barely revealed by the 'black hole' trajectory left by the racket, Tokugawa Kazuya opened his eyes with difficulty and was immediately shocked!

His wrists, arms, upper body, even legs and ankles were all wrapped up in the dark and heavy things.

——What the hell is this!?

Tokugawa Kazuya kept using the "Black Hole". As soon as the "Black Hole" approached these black and turbid objects, it would stop them and block them at a safe distance.

He even used the 'Black Hole' to surround himself as a defensive skill, and only then did he manage to create a small space for himself to breathe.

However, he was not yet proficient in using the 'black hole'. Once used, it would consume a lot of physical strength. Tokugawa Kazuya's face became paler and he was sweating all over.

The situation was not optimistic. While trying to resist this unknown thing, I had to distract myself and search for Yagi Kei's traces around me.

This is definitely his 'Shura Shinto'... Judging from the scale, scope, and expression, it is definitely a domain skill!

Only by finding Yagi Kei's true form could the solution be cracked. Tokugawa Kazuya gritted his teeth, veins bulging, and used the "Black Hole" without paying, constantly squeezing out his potential to open up more movable space.

Where, where on earth is that guy!?

If it is his 'Ashura Shinto' domain skill, his real body will definitely not be too far away from here!

Tokugawa Kazuya clapped and clapped, until suddenly, the feeling of being watched came over him again.

He turned his head suddenly and looked around, only to find that his sight was empty—nothing!

He felt like he was being watched again, and he turned his head according to his intuition, but still nothing!

There was another sight, he turned - no, there is one here too,

Wait, there's something there too—?!

Up, down, left, right,

Up and down, left and right, no matter where—it was all a completely cold, inflexible gaze.

The feeling of being watched came from all directions, and almost no one was spared. It was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, piercing him completely and freezing him in place.

Tokugawa Kazuya tightly gripped the racket in his hand and raised his head suddenly——

Everywhere——there is Yagi Kei!!

It was as if the entire space was densely packed with his shadows, and the feeling of being watched, gazed at, and observed spread throughout his body.

Countless eyes, open, closed, and squinting, were projected in unison from every inch of space where existence could be sensed!

Tokugawa Kazuya broke out in a cold sweat. In that moment of stunned silence, the unknown entities that had been intercepted by the [Black Hole] attacked again, trying to pull and bind his hands and feet once again. The more serious ones had already slowly climbed onto the surface of his body, gradually spreading more and more, invading deeper layers.

"[Black Hole]!"

Tokugawa Kazuya pushed his body to its limits and used the Shura Shinto technique multiple times. One trajectory after another was separated by strands of black sludge.

He gasped as he looked at the scene, and was about to reorganize his emotions and brain, when the next second -

【Black Hole】, covered!

The dark, viscous, and turbid object, like mud, paused for a moment before tentatively touching the [black hole] created by Tokugawa Kazuya.

The moment it was touched, not only did it not disappear, there were even faint signs of it being included!

Tokugawa Kazuya saw more clearly. The tiny starlight brought by the [black hole] dissipated bit by bit. The only light in the narrow and cramped space was accompanied by a tiny 'rustling' sound... It sounded like the gnawing of some unknown creature.

Little by little, completely covered, completely swallowed,

Tokugawa Kazuya was overwhelmed with a sense of crisis, and his heart was suddenly filled with an incomparable fear, as if he had encountered a natural enemy in the food chain. No matter how hard he struggled, the moment he faced it, the incomparable fear and panic had already crushed his entire heart.

'Shura Shinto'——[Black Hole], completely ineffective!

The light gradually seeped in, and people who had been immersed in deep darkness for a long time suddenly caught a glimpse of it, their eyes were blurred, and they even thought it was an illusion.

It wasn't until I stared at the light numbly for a long time, until my eyes were irritated and I couldn't stop blinking and tears were flowing, that I suddenly realized -

"It's light!! I see light!!"

"Wait, I hear a noise! ​​There's someone here!!"

"I heard the sound too—we're out!!"

Everyone at the U17 base shouted excitedly. Sound, light, and existence all returned in just a moment!

Everyone was almost ecstatic. The U17 coaches, Onijūjirō, and Irie Kanata who were standing at the front slowly regained consciousness. The moment they sensed the light, they immediately closed their eyes tightly, and after a while, they slowly opened them.

The moment I opened my eyes, I looked towards the court reflexively—

If I remember correctly, Tokugawa Kazuya and Yagi Kei were fighting just before the darkness came, so now that the darkness has receded, it means that—

“Boom!”

“…”

“…”

"...Tokugawa?"

“Tokugawa——!?!”

There was a loud crash, and the U17 players outside the field followed the sound and just happened to see Tokugawa Kazuya, who had his eyes closed and was clutching his racket tightly, falling forward without any awareness.

Oni Jujiro quickly climbed over the stands and entered the court in two steps. Referee Takushi Ryuji also quickly responded.

The two men worked together to turn over Tokugawa Kazuya who had fallen unconscious. After a closer look,

At this moment, Tokugawa looked pale and bloodless!

Big beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks and forehead, his face was full of pain and struggle.

Looking at the body again, it was extremely tense and trembling uncontrollably, convulsing, vaguely on the verge of breaking point, the knuckles of the fingers gripping the racket tightly were bulging, and even buckled into it due to excessive force,

But even so, I didn't let go.

"...He has fainted and is not in a good condition to continue the competition." Takushi Ryuji made a quick decision and called on the other people to carry the stretcher.

"Send Tokugawa to the infirmary for observation. He doesn't look well."

The U17s looked at each other and said, "Yes!"

After watching Tokugawa Kazuya, who was carried on a stretcher, disappear through the stadium gate, the remaining U17 coaching trio and the others finally remembered that the killer who caused everything was still standing there.

As soon as the U17 team dealt with Tokugawa Kazuya, Rikkai Volkswagen crossed the stands and entered the field, heading straight for their younger juniors.

Only then did I officially see Yagi Kei's condition.

Unlike Tokugawa Kazuya's embarrassing coma, Yagi Kei was too normal at this moment, so normal that it was almost unbelievable.

He held the racket, his eyes lowered as if looking at a corner of the air, but there was nothing there. He stared fixedly, and when his name was called tentatively, his dark and empty eyes moved slightly, quickly and accurately turning to the corner of his eyes.

The U17 people who witnessed this scene even felt a little creepy, but when they looked at the Rikkai people who called him, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the cat is still the same as usual and responds to people. There is no big problem.

Yukimura Seiichi led everyone closer, and finally walked in front of Yagi Kei, and carefully observed the cat from top to bottom.

Only after confirming that he was not as exhausted or in a negative state as Tokugawa Kazuya on the other side did he truly breathe a sigh of relief.

It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m glad everything is okay.

Kirihara Akaya even ran away: "KuiKuiKui ahh ...

He stroked the cat all over, and finally looked at it again and again, still worried, until it finally returned to normal.

"Wuwuwuwu, Kei, you don't know how scary it was when it suddenly got dark! I was so worried about you! Where did you go just now? No one is around, are you scared?!"

The U17 players, who were too close to leave the stage in time and happened to hear everything being said, said: "..."

Um, who are you worried about?

Also, who is afraid?

Are you talking about someone no one knows?

Everyone in U17 looked at each other in silence, and their gazes towards Rikkai University, especially towards Kirihara Akaya, were filled with a strangeness. They all felt that there might be something wrong with this guy... Could it be his eyes?

At this level, eyes are no longer enough... it's more like a brain!!

Atobe Keigo, who was watching from the sidelines, had something to say, but he was also completely bewitched by the cat. At first glance, it seemed that something was wrong with Kirihara Akaya's words, but after listening and thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong...

No one said that the person who created that kind of thing wouldn’t be afraid of it!

——So it is logically reasonable and there is absolutely no problem!

U17 waited for a while, a long while, but not only did they not receive any rebuttal, they received unanimous agreement, and some even folded their arms and nodded.

“!!!”

"... As expected, they're not the same kind of people. They don't enter the same door. It's so terrifying, so terrifying!!"

The battle with Tokugawa Kazuya ended with Tokugawa Kazuya giving up, and Yagi Kei was declared the winner by Takushi Ryuji.

After clicking the pop-up settlement window, the player counted the rewards and experience points.

【Task 6: Newly arrived

Everyone is curious about you, a stranger. After all, the first impression is very important.

Please say hello to the residents of Netlu Valley (U17)! ] I've almost finished brushing...

The player stopped and noticed the last one (98/99).

Another one?

Players searched everywhere for the last lucky winner. U17 was passed over, as were Rikkai University and Atobe.

The last lucky one——

It’s decided to be you!

Irie Kanata!

Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, and his first instinct was to hide, but when he turned around,

Yagi Kei was standing right in front of him.

Behind him, like a ghost, he stared at him without blinking.

He was sincere and enthusiastic (thought he was), but in fact, he stuffed the racket into his mouth with a blank expression and coldness. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"War?"

Irie Kanata: “…”

The other U17 players looked at him as if he were a dead man.

He slowly looked at the people in Rikkai University. The people in Rikkai University looked at each other, revealing a look of helplessness.

If the child likes it, just let him play it, what’s wrong with that!

A light flashed through his lens, and Irie Kanata slowly looked towards the U17 coaching staff.

The three coaches looked at each other and got busy at the same time.

"Oh, I suddenly realized that the data seems to need to be corrected!"

"I'm coming too, Saito."

"Ahahaha, since they're all going, I'll go too—"

For a moment, Irie Kanata was about to head towards a bad ending!

He held the racket with great difficulty. Although playing against the strong and playing with him with superb acting skills was the fun and evil taste of Irie Kanata,

But now, the Shura Shinto has been opened, and both Onijushirou and Tokugawa Kazuya are completely defeated. Even Tokugawa Kazuya's previous experience is right in front of us.

Irie Kanata is a smart man, he won't do anything stupid and just rush forward.

But now it’s too late to back down, I have to go on!

Holding the racket, he took a deep breath and spent a few seconds thinking about how far he would have to go before he could leave the court normally.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”

A loud and overwhelming sound suddenly came!

The eardrums were trembling slightly under this loud noise, and everyone present showed some pain.

At this moment, a huge helicopter suddenly landed from the huge hole in the ceiling!

Everyone in U17 was confused, and everyone in Rikkai looked at Atobe reflexively, but found that Atobe Keigo had the same solemn expression, and immediately realized that this was not the power of the Atobe Group!

The next second—a black shadow fell from the sky!

He was as strong as an ox, with a broad back and strong arms, dressed in black but extremely agile. He landed on the ground with a "boom" despite the wind pressure!

Smoke filled the air! Dust spread over the ruins—

Everyone coughed and waved their hands to try to shake off the dust. After a long time, they saw a vague black shadow standing up from the ground and walking towards here step by step with heavy steps!

“…What is that…?”

"Could it be... another one?"

Don't blame them, the cat hasn't left the stage yet, the psychological shadow and shock are still there,

Now seeing another one coming, no one can stand it.

The mist gradually cleared up, and this time, everyone could see the face of the person who walked out of the dust.

The three U17 coaches saw clearly the moment their eyes fixed on the situation and stepped forward. The bewildered players were puzzled.

"That's—Headmaster Mifune..."

"F******%￥# who the hell *** blew my door down%￥**"

The sound of birdsong and flowers echoed exactly like the one that had just been connected, and the doubts of the U17 people were immediately gone.

Bathed in the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, standing in the ruins of the stadium, I have never felt my soul so close to nature.

The U17 coaching staff finally called out his name, "—Head Coach Mifune!"

"--ha??"

The one who appeared in front of everyone at this moment was none other than the wild uncle who was scratching his ears and chest while being impatient with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers - Mifune Nyudo!

He who comes has bad intentions.

Yukimura Seiichi, sensing from his aura that it wouldn't be easy to leave today, quickly glanced at the idiot standing in front of Irie Kanata.

Hoping there wouldn't be any additional questions, he glanced at Yagi Kei and held his breath slightly.

At the same time, Genichirō Sanada and Renji Yanagi, who were standing beside him, both changed their expressions when they saw Mifune Nyudo's figure clearly!

Sanada's face turned darker, and Yanagi's face turned paler. Their eyes were fixed on Mifune. Sanada pulled his hat down to block his sight.

Mifune Nyudo sensed someone staring at him, but that wasn't his main concern right now.

His main concern was - who the hell blew up the gate of the U17 base again!?!

Who the hell is that person? He keeps bringing bombs to mess with U17!

God knows he finally dug himself out of the ruins in the back mountain and called a helicopter to fly towards the base—

When I opened my eyes, I saw a ruin!

The gate flew!

The stadium is ruined!

Now even this testing venue has been bombed into such a state!

It can be said that Mifune Nyudo had a lot of anger accumulated in his heart, eager to vent.

He strode forward and said, "Tell me—While I was away, which bastard was up to something?"

Saito Shi and Kurobe Yukio exchanged glances and quickly and concisely explained the situation.

During this period, there was also evidence from the real Jijujiro who had fought with Jibaimao. The U17 members were timid and dared not say a word.

Takushi Ryuji brought back the condition of Tokugawa Kazuya who had gone to the infirmary. The initial judgment was that his life was safe, but he had fallen into a coma due to exhaustion and excessive shock.

From the initial rage, to understanding the situation, to hearing that a small monster suddenly appeared with strength beyond imagination, and then watching the video of the fight between Onijushirou and Tokugawa Kazuya,

The expression gradually changed from anger at the beginning to attention to Yagi Kei who suddenly appeared.

"...this kid," Mifune Nyudo suddenly felt that the face projected on the computer screen was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. He must have noticed it.

Where on earth have I seen it before?

The back of his head and cheeks ached dully, and Mifune Nyudo instinctively reached for the wine gourd at his waist. His large hand found nothing, and then he remembered that his old companion gourd had been stolen in that sudden attack.

He pushed aside the crowd blocking his way and strode directly in front of Irie Kanata and Yagi Kei. Compared to their height, he looked like a giant like a mountain.

Mifune Nyudo stared at the two men, especially Yagi Kei, whose eyes were wide open, making everyone in Rikkai feel like stepping forward to protect them.

Mifune Nyudo suddenly spoke up, "Hey, kid, have we met somewhere before?"

...What a bad pick-up line,

Although they really didn't want to get out of the show, the U17 players couldn't help but want to complain.

The player's peripheral vision had already spotted the special NPC approaching.

The special NPC in the new map, Youxingcun Jingshi, is a special NPC who will put red lock debuff on players at any time. Players are no longer the innocent players they used to be!

Go away! Special NPC, go away!

The cat hooked the lucky guy, Irie Kanata, with one claw and walked towards the court.

The more Mifune Nyudo looked at him, the more familiar he felt. He narrowed his eyes and said with increasing certainty, "Boy—I've definitely noticed you somewhere!"

Yukimura Seiichi smiled gently but his face was not very good. He was thinking quickly about how to save the cat.

Beside him, the expressions of Genichirō Sanada and Renji Yanagi were simply heavenly and earthly.

Mifune Nyudo thought for a long time but still couldn't find any clues. However, he watched the battle between this monster boy and the ghost and Tokugawa.

This kid is the real monster!

This is the fresh blood that the U17 needs now - the talent that is lacking!

Mifune Nyudo didn't ask any questions, but simply shouted in a loud voice, "Hey, Monster Boy, come join us U17!"

[Ding!]

[Faction NPC Mifune Nyudo is inviting you! ]

【You can now join the U17 faction! 】

A pop-up window appeared, and the player grabbed the NPC Irie Kanata and slowly looked at Irie Kanata, then slowly looked at the special NPC Mifune Nyudo.

This glance gave Mifunerudo the wrong signal.

Mifune Nyudo looked at Irie Kanata and took it for granted, "—Don't worry, Monster Boy, as long as you join the U17, you will definitely be the number one venue now!"

He extended an olive branch: "--As long as you are willing to join the U17, you can replace these guys as you like."

The U17 team dared not speak out, regardless of Mifune Nyudo's status as the head coach or Yagi Kei's almost overwhelming strength.

They knew deeply that...there was absolutely nothing wrong with what they said at this moment.

"...Whatever."

A clear and cold voice suddenly sounded. In an instant, everyone was startled and turned their heads in unison, looking at the person who spoke in confusion.

Holy shit! The mute actually spoke three words?!

Mifunerudou narrowed his eyes and said arrogantly and confidently, full of strategic planning.

"Of course—as you please!"

Whatever...

If there are no restrictions like this, then——

The player ponders, the player wanders, the player has an idea,

The player's thoughts are loading, and the player successfully gets the answer.

“…”

"oh,"

The black-haired boy was calm, his dark, empty eyes rolled upwards, and he finally met Mifune Nyudo's gaze face to face for the first time in a clear-headed state.

He said, "—Then I want the head coach."

“…”

“…Am I hallucinating?”

"No!! Usurp the throne!! This kid usurped the throne!!!"
