Chapter 71: First and Second Updates: Players' Latest Equipment Build Times! ...

Everyone's eyes went dark and Yukimura fell asleep.

Only the players can achieve the final victory.

Everyone was hoping that he would finish quickly so that they could send Yukimura to the hospital.

Damn it, if the fight continues, it won't just be Yukimura and Rikkai University that will be affected, maybe the entire Neon will be destroyed by this kid!

Isn't it just playing ball? Why did it become like a demolition crew arriving?!

The Rikkai University tennis club's previously smooth court was retired after this match. The artificial moon's surface, covered in craters and depressions, could almost become a typical tourist attraction.

But no one was in the mood to appreciate this at the moment. One after another, they lent a hand and finally pulled Yukimura Seiichi, who had the banana peel on his head, out of the pit.

At this moment, Yukimura, who was covered in dust, looked at Mushroom Head across the court, and his mood was extremely complicated.

"Yukimura! Is it okay—!"

"Bushi Yukimura—are you okay?!"

Everyone came forward to show concern.

Yukimura slowly waved his hands. Although he wanted to indicate that he was fine, he looked rather pale with the banana peel on his head...

Everyone checked Yukimura Seiichi from head to toe, from top to bottom, left to right, carefully.

It's great that apart from being a little dusty, it's not missing any limbs.

Fortunately,

Yukimura Seiichi had just left the hospital and didn't have to go back again.

Otherwise, wouldn't it set a record for the fastest discharge and re-admission...

Seeing that Yukimura could still climb up, everyone slowly felt relieved.

My heart was halfway settled and suddenly it became tense.

After all - there is a more difficult one waiting for them over there!

The culprit who eats bananas everywhere and throws banana peels everywhere,

But right now, there is no way to impose sanctions!

Players caught in multiple debuffs are still waiting for the opponent's special dungeon boss to fight back.

He waited for a while.

I waited patiently for a while.

Looking up——

Special copy BOSS, the health bar is empty!

Eh?

【You win! 】

[Given that the special dungeon boss has lost its combat capability in its current state]

[Congratulations to the player for successfully challenging the special dungeon BOSS! ]

What happened,

Why did the special copy BOSS suddenly lose its combat capability?

The players were confused, but that didn't stop them from quickly collecting their winning rewards. If they missed this opportunity, they would miss it forever. They wanted this, this, and that, and the players wanted them all!

The players here are happily collecting their rewards.

Rikkai and Yukimura Seiichi over there have trouble dealing with Mushroom Head.

"...Are you still fighting?"

"...banana peel?"

“…”

“…………”

"……well."

This unique battle between the Rikkai University president and the Rikkai University acting president ended with the victory of one of the acting presidents.

After all... Rikkai University really doesn't have another flat court that can withstand his ho-ho.

After the battle, the atmosphere between Yukimura Seiichi and Yagi Kei did not change much, or rather, the atmosphere between Yagi Kei and anyone else did not change much.

After all, it’s been a while since Mushroom Head has been disobeying people.

It is better to hope that the Rikkai University tennis courts will be restored soon than to hope that the cat will suddenly behave like a human being.

God knows that the members of Rikkai University came to the tennis club early the next morning.

Seeing the tennis court transformed into the surface of the moon overnight, I was filled with confusion and shock.

"...Have our tennis courts been attacked by aliens?"

"At this point... we should drop the atomic bomb..."

You still have to complain, and of course, you still have to make repairs.

The training for the next week was mainly focused on repairing the tennis court, but that’s a story for later.

Players——A new journey has begun!

[Ding!]

Tennis Lev.11-Lev.12 up!

[New event 'Kanto Tournament' has started! ]

【Save successfully! 】

On the second weekend of early July, the Kanto Tournament officially kicked off.

All schools were busy preparing, and at this moment, they finally boarded the school bus to the Kanto competition venue.

Players, of course, are among them.

There is only one activity task for the new event, Kanto Tournament.

[Event Mission: Defender of the Kanto Tournament]

【——Try your best to win the championship! 】

In order to complete the activity tasks, the players made full preparations early in the morning.

Trash can! Turned over!

Huge Crop! Harvested!

Special dish! Completed!

After the battle with the special copy BOSS, the player learned from his mistakes, summed up his experience, and went back overnight to make several sets of bombs.

Next time you encounter this kind of situation... just throw a bomb, and you'll be able to eliminate the dungeon boss's combat capability as quickly as possible.

For some reason, Yukimura Seiichi, who was sitting in the front seat of the bus, felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Sensing that the person next to him shuddered, Sanada Genichirō slightly opened his eyes from his folded arms and closed eyes.

"Seishi?"

"It's nothing, Genichirō," Yukimura smiled. "Rather... I never thought this day would come."

“…”

"……Um."

Genichirō Sanada, who was not good at speaking, pulled his hat.

"Let's work hard together, Genichirō," said Yukimura Seiichi.

Sanada Genichirō: "Got it."

"Act a little more cheerfully. If you keep a sullen face, Akaya will criticize you, okay?"

Sanada Genichirō glanced at him slowly.

At this moment, Yukimura Seishi still looks forward to the future, without any panic, worry, silence or helplessness.

Young people are like they have never been tortured by a chicken or a cat.

"...Seichi," Sanada Genichirō's lips moved.

Yukimura Seiichi: "Hmm? What's wrong, Genichirō? Have you changed your mind and want to smile?"

Genichiro Sanada: "..."

Take back the reminder and let him laugh foolishly for now.

When I got to the venue and saw the chicken-tearing cat-tearing behavior... at that time, I couldn't laugh even if I wanted to.

Sanada Genichirō's gaze slowly showed some pity.

Yukimura Seiichi, who had never encountered this before and didn't understand why, was puzzled: "?"

Hey...why did it suddenly become like this?

Yukimura, who was completely clueless at the moment, had no idea that his hell would soon begin.

Until the moment when the Rikkai University bus stabilized,

The dispute has begun.

"That, that school emblem—it's Rikkai University!"

Just a glance, the participating school teams gathered at the school gate had already made uncontrollable noises,

As the champion of previous years, this year it is the seed among seeds, carrying the attention of all people and the anticipated Kanto overlord - Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School!

Finally - its true face is revealed to the world!

Mamoru Inoue, a reporter from the "Professional Tennis Monthly," also arrived at the Kanto tournament, followed closely by Saori Shiba.

While she was still searching for the traces of Seigaku, her senior, Inoue Mamoru, ran away, holding the camera, and disappeared into the distance in a puff of smoke.

Shiba Saori, who almost lost sight of him, said: "..."

Zhi Sazhi slowly stretched out Erkang's hand: Um, senior, she... doesn't want it anymore?

Inoue Mamoru had already squeezed into the crowd by himself, and asked as he squeezed,

"Hello, classmate. Which team is this? Is it Rikkai University?"

"Yes, yes, with this kind of pomp and ceremony, Rikkai University must be safe."

"——Look at this school emblem, it's Rikkai University!"

"Ooooh! They're coming down!!"

During the conversation, the door of the Rikkai University bus suddenly opened!

All of a sudden, everyone's gaze was drawn over there!

Inoue Mamoru removed the camera lens cap in a flash, and aimed the black lens straight at the person getting off the Rikkai University bus!

The first person to appear in the photo was the one who had returned from Tokyo in glory, having led the entire Rikkai University Tennis Club to achieve the Rikkai University Kanto Tournament championship for fifteen consecutive years, establishing Rikkai University's position as the "Kanto Overlord". Now, he was officially aiming for the sixteenth consecutive championship.

Yukimura Seiichi!

“—You actually came back?!”

"Didn't they say their minister was undergoing surgery?"

"'Son of God'... this year's game is going to be something to watch..."

For a moment, there were whispers.

Inoue Moriya had naturally received the news of Rikkai University Minister Yukimura Seiichi's official return a long time ago, so he was not surprised at this moment.

He lowered his head slightly as he walked out of the car, then looked up at the sun. Yukimura Seiichi was wearing his Rikkai University uniform jacket, his expression calm and composed.

Qing Qian glanced at the other school contestants waiting outside, and got out of the car calmly, with her coat swaying in an arc as she walked.

Suddenly, the discussion became more intense.

“—So handsome!!”

"—The coat actually doesn't fall off! Amazing!"

"Pretentiousness is like the wind, always with him!"

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off-topic, Inoue Mamoru did not lose focus and continued to stare straight at them.

The next to appear is the second of the three giants of Rikkai University - "Emperor" Sanada Genichirō.

And——'Master' Yanagi Renji!

The sounds of booing continued one after another. Finally, the three giants of Rikkai University met together in an official competition.

When the three of them stood there, their aura condensed into a hurricane, powerful and overwhelming.

His school members struggled to resist, and followed closely behind -

'Genius' Marui!

Jack the Jackal!

'The Trickster' Nioh!

'Gentleman' Yagyu!

And——the much-anticipated Rikkai University sophomore ace,

'Devil' Kirihara Akaya!

The regular students of Rikkai University were all lined up in a row. The members of his school who witnessed this scene were all a little stunned by the height and long legs of these people.

"Is this... the strength of this year's Rikkai University elite?"

“…”

"No."

“…There’s one more.”

Inoue Mamoru's voice was particularly prominent in the silence, and everyone looked at him blankly.

As he finished speaking, Shiba Saori also arrived at the scene, panting: "Really - Inoue-senpai! At least wait for me!"

Shiba Saori barely finished her words and looked up, only to find that the surroundings were silent.

She was confused, and then looked carefully. In the dead silence, only the front was moving!

A familiar figure suddenly walked out of the open school bus door.

It's very familiar, and the outline is one that once you see it, you will never forget it in your life.

But it seems to be a little different.

He stepped out of the Rikkai University bus, his hair neatly combed and his hands in his pockets. The Rikkai University uniform was specially selected a size smaller to better suit his figure.

With human-like steps, he stepped out of the shadows and into the sight of everyone.

This was his first official appearance in public.

This is also the first time that he appears like a normal human being.

So much so that the regular students of Rikkai University, including Mamoru Inoue, felt a sense of relief and emotion when they saw this scene, and had a sense of accomplishment as if their cat had grown up.

And Shiba Saori slowly typed out a question mark: "?"

No, who are you, handsome guy?

But, is there anyone like this in the regular selection of Rikkai University?

Not only her, but all the other members of his school opened their mouths in confusion.

"Who, who is this kid?"

"...I don't know, you're so pretentious..."

"What a grand entrance! He's the finale! Where did he come from?"

"I've never seen someone like this at Rikkai University before."

As if sensing the gazes of the people around him, the person who came out raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of slightly long and deep eyes under his neatly cut hair.

The dark pupils looked at me calmly.

Because it was so quiet, the breathing and swallowing sounds were extremely clear.

In the same situation, there was a very quick "click" sound.

Inoue Mamoru took a picture of this, and then slowly began to introduce,

"He's a freshman at Rikkai University, Kei Yagi."

"...Yagi Kei?"

"Have you heard of it?"

“It seems not…”

"...Is it some unknown contestant?"

"That's possible, but this aura... doesn't seem like it."

The players themselves were completely unaware of this, but from the NPC's perspective, Yagi Kei, wearing the title of 'Abyss', was undoubtedly filled with the aura of a powerful demon king.

Just one glance is enough to intimidate.

He pricked up his ears to listen to the whispers of the people around him, and Kirihara Aka did not miss any discussion related to the juniors.

He was secretly competing in his heart,

'What is not famous' 'What have you never heard of',

It's simply because you guys are so ignorant!

Kei's strength - you don't understand, you have no idea how powerful he is!

Yukimura Seiichi looked at Kirihara Akaya with a smile, whose expression was written all over his face. He was naturally very enthusiastic about the close relationship between his two juniors.

Sanada Genichirō organized the team, and the black-haired boy joined the team directly after getting off the school bus, without any extra glances or any other concerns.

It's like waving your sleeves and leaving without a single cloud.

He was so aloof and serious that even Bunta Marui and Masaharu Niou, who had finally returned from his position as department head, found it hard to recognize him.

"Hey...is this really Kei, not some clone of his...or something else?" Marui Bunta murmured.

After all, Jibai Cat has never dressed so much like a human before!

He wasn't wearing his damn trash hat, nor his damn trash shirt, nor was he wearing rain boots that were splashed with the fragrance of mud.

Because it looks so much like a human, it's a little scary.

Niou Masaharu didn't respond, but he couldn't help but slowly say in his heart,

...Could it be that this kid is going to give them another big fight today?

For a moment, everyone in Rikkai couldn't help but clench their fists when they thought of this.

And the decent looking Jiba Cat, Ben Mao, protested to the game GM for the 10086th time,

No, what does it mean to 'ask the player to dress like a human being in the cutscenes'?

Damn it, this is questioning the players' aesthetic taste!

Resist! Resist! Players must resist!

The players' resistance in the background was destined to remain unknown to the NPCs. At this moment, everyone could only see Yagi Kei's glamorous appearance and were successfully blinded by it.

Leaving the venue and heading towards the registration office, the entire Rikkai University selection team was on guard, fearing that Yagi Kei would give them a big blow if they weren't careful.

Marui Bunta quickly winked at Jack Kuwabara, and the two of them, working in perfect harmony, swept through the trash cans, throwing away everything they saw! Throwing away everything!

Having learned from the lessons of the Kanagawa Prefecture competition, Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi were no less capable. They flanked Yagi Kei on the left and right, guarding him closely and blocking his view, not giving him the slightest chance to get close to the court.

There are also Sanada Genichirō and Yanagi Renji, one leading the attack and the other holding the line.

Genichirō Sanada used his gaze to drive away all the members of his school who wanted to approach him, while Renji Yanagi calmly stared at the back of the cat to prevent him from suddenly falling ill and turning from a human into a cat.

Yukimura Seiichi was quite overwhelmed by the operations one after another.

He was puzzled, but smiled.

Hey...what on earth happened, everyone?

Why does it feel like Mina-san has gone through a lot during his absence?

Finally arrived at the registration office, holding the first match list, Yukimura Seiichi handed it to the staff for registration, Yukimura negotiated,

The other people from Rikkai University surrounded the silent mushroom head in the center.

The staff who were watching were all joking.

"I didn't expect Rikkai University to care so much about its juniors~"

Yukimura Seiichi, who was signing with a pen, had his eyelids twitching.

This level of concern...

No, it's more like surveillance...

He said nothing, just smiled.

After signing, I received the match schedule and assigned match court with the successful procedures.

[Rikkai University vs. Ginka, Third Court.]

"Well, everyone, let's go."

"The third court...Yinhua Middle School,"

At Yukimura's command, the Rikkai people followed closely behind, talking as they walked, discussing their first opponent.

"Come to think of it, Seigaku, Hyotei, and Fudomine are here today too, right?"

Marui Bunta held his head in his hands and thought,

"Maybe if we finish early we can go over and take a look!" Kirihara Akaya nodded.

"Well, well—let's talk about it after the game is over!"

They walked forward, and walked forward,

Walking,

"…Why do I feel like something is wrong?"

"Not sure, let me feel it again."

I waited in silence, following the principle of "feel it again", and a bad premonition crept into my heart.

Marui Bunta didn't dare to look back, his eyes staring straight ahead, he said slowly and stiffly,

"Did you hear any sound?"

Kirihara Akaya, who hadn't caught up to the rhythm yet, asked innocently, "Marui-senpai, what sound do you want to hear?"

“…”

“………”

"Kui's voice."

silence,

Silence is every day at Rikkai University.

"broken!!!"

Sanada Genichirō turned and ran, Yanagi Renji, Marui Bunta, and Kirihara Akaya ran away.

Yukimura Seiichi, who had never seen such a scene before, stretched out his hand and said, "Um, everyone... where are you going?"

Yagyu Hiroshi adjusted his glasses while running and looking back: "Yukimura-kun, hurry up and catch up, otherwise..."

Yukimura was bewildered: "Or else?"

"Otherwise, everyone will be in danger."

“…”

“………”

"Is there anything in the trash can?!"

“—No! No!!”

"Is there anything in the toilet?!"

"No! Not here either!"

The frantic search of Rikkai Dazhong spread out and then met at a fixed point.

Everyone was anxious and asked frantically,

"Have you found it? Did you see it?"

“No, no!!”

Marui Bunta clenched his fists deeply, "Damn it! Where on earth has that Keina kid gone again!"

At this moment, Yagi Kei looked at the referee on the court in silence.

referee:"……"

Player: “…”

referee:"……?"

Player: “…”

The referee who lost the staring challenge: "You are... a member of Rikkai University. Where are the rest of your team? Why are you the only one here?"

Player: “…”

The referee asked again and again with all his patience, but still got no answer: "……＃／;!"

No, no one can accept cold violence!!

Seeing that he couldn't get a response, the referee had no choice but to look through the match lists of both sides, walked around the court again, and even started counting the number of squares on the net.

After reincarnation, here, there is still only him and this mushroom head.

referee:……

No, time has stopped?

It’s okay that only one person came from Rikkai University, but at least there was one.

Why didn’t any of Yinhua come?

The player is also waiting, and the pop-up window in front of him shows that the match is in progress.

7V7 battle, the two red and blue camps are determined,

But why...

Now the player is the only one with an avatar? ! !

Where are the player's teammates?

Where are the player's opponents?

Players are confused and puzzled. They haven't done anything, but they still can't match opponents and teammates.

Could it be that the player’s waiting posture is wrong?

The referee, who had already begun to spin in circles to amuse himself, glanced at his watch. When he looked up again to check how much time was left before declaring a forfeit, his peripheral vision could not help but glance at another living being on the court.

Even though he's mute, let him see what this guy is doing now...

——No, why is he doing a handstand?!

The player changed his posture, but it still didn't work.

Then change another one.

The referee who watched him do a handstand and somersault said: Q dish Q!!

After changing the operation, there was still no match. The player was puzzled and scratched his head.

I looked around and noticed a small speaker in the lower right corner of the system ranking interface.

Small loudspeaker?

What is this? Press it!

Player Click!

Three courts away, the Rikkai players were still running around, panting and sweating profusely.

After much difficulty, they met at a designated location and exchanged clues, but they still found no trace of the younger generation.

My heart slowly cooled down.

At the same time, there was a sudden sharp "squeaking" sound of electricity.

Go straight to the eardrum, hit the heart,

The unsuspecting Rikkai people looked over in confusion, only to discover that the piercing sound of electricity came from a broadcasting tower near the meeting point.

Three loud speakers were blaring towards them.

After a brief microphone test, an extremely clear and loud robotic female voice came out.

"Attention, children Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichirō, Yanagi Renji, Kirihara Akaya, Marui Bunta, and Niou Masaharu from Rikkai University High School—"

"Attention, children Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichirō, Yanagi Renji, Kirihara Akaya, Marui Bunta, and Niou Masaharu from Rikkai University High School—"

"Your guardian, Mr. Yagi Kei, is waiting for you at the third court. Please go to the third court immediately after hearing the announcement—"

"Your guardian, Mr. Yagi Kei, is waiting for you at the third court. Please go to the third court immediately after hearing the announcement—"

This cycle repeated three times, and the sound amplification effect was so strong that it could be heard clearly throughout the entire Kanto tournament venue.

Bewildered, helpless, and dazed,

The Rikkai University students whose names were called didn't know for a moment whether to complain, go to the third court, or take off their Rikkai University uniforms first.

“…”

"Ha, haha... Fortunately, I'm not on the list..." Jack Sangyuan said slowly,

"Shut up, Kuwabara."

"Fortunately, Yagi-kun is not easy to kill..."

"You shut up too, partner."
