Chapter 31 Basketball 30
“I will never forgive anyone who goes against my will, even if it’s their own parents.”
The tall and strong adult male kidnappers fell to the ground, and the red-haired boy's eyes were as cold as if he had been slaughtering fish in Tsukiji Market for ten years.
The kidnapper leader was knocked off balance by Akashi's Emperor Eye Ankle Terminator and fell to his knees. He gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but his legs were trembling, as if his body was no longer under his control.
As a ruthless criminal who had been committing murders for ten years, he actually felt a bone-chilling chill from the boy in front of him who was just a student, and was unable to move.
...It's such a shame and humiliation!
A huge sense of shame and anger dominated him. His skin flushed red, and his veins bulged. He was about to break free from the control of the Eye of the Emperor of Heaven and stand up again.
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
She grabbed Akashi Seijuro's hand and said, "Let's get out of here! Akashi-kun!"
“…”
Akashi Seijuro's eyes flashed slightly, and without saying a word, he let the girl lead him out.
When they rushed out of the warehouse, it was already dark outside. Kurikawa Sana ran ahead of him, holding his hand. The white ballet feather headdress on her head fell to the ground, and her long black hair, which had been scattered due to the fierce fighting, flew in the air.
The girl was still dressed in her elegant and gorgeous white ballet skirt, her figure slender and beautiful under the moonlight. For a moment, Akashi seemed to see a pair of invisible wings quietly spreading behind her.
Just like the ballet she performed at the Teiko Festival today, breaking through difficulties and constraints, the white bird spread its wings and flew freely, moving forward from then on.
Staring at her back, Akashi Seijuro couldn't tell what he felt.
Suspension bridge effect?
It doesn't seem so.
At this moment, he began to understand a little.
I began to understand why my other personality was obsessed with her.
Akashi Seijuro's eyes were complicated. He wrapped the girl's warm and soft hand in his palm and held it tightly.
[Akagi Seijuro, Favorability +10. ]
…
At this time, Kurikawa Sana was running for her life while brainstorming.
She quickly asked in her mind: [System, is my current escape route correct? I'm afraid a machete might come crashing down on me from around the corner...]
System: [This direction is correct. If you keep running, you will soon encounter a police car.]
Phew… That’s good, that’s good. Although she wasn’t afraid of these guys after being possessed by O’Neill, after she had just sent several kidnappers flying, she felt that Akashi’s expression was very subtle… She didn’t know what Akashi was thinking after this shocking scene.
In short, for the sake of her elegant image, it is better to run away now.
Kurikawa Sana took a moment to glance back and couldn't help but gasp: [Damn, they're still chasing us, so annoying!]
"Sana, actually, compared to O'Neal's possession, the newly unlocked tennis skills in the advanced store are more suitable for escape. Five senses suppression and light ball... any of these skills can get out of this predicament. They're incredibly lethal."
[Isn't this expensive? In the world of tennis, any skill costs a full 100 points!]
The system calmly replied, "No problem. If you buy it on Crazy Thursday, I can give you a V50 discount, which is half the price."
Kurikawa Sana:? ? ?
Huh? What's that Crazy Thursday 50% off sale? Wait, isn't it Wednesday night? It's almost Thursday.
[There's actually this kind of discount?! Why didn't you tell me something this important earlier, system?!]
System: [Isn't it because your balance is running low? To get into the First Army as basketball manager, you spent 50 points on basic and intermediate basketball knowledge and tactical guidance. A few days ago, you had a high fever and lost 25 health points. And just now, you spent another 70 points on a hard basketball and the Shaquille O'Neal possession—you've used a total of 145 points, Sana.]
[Purchasing items in the system store and deducting health points from illness are all one-time purchases and will not be repaid. The total amount of points you can earn in this basketball world is only 600. As I've emphasized before, if you have less than 80% favorability when leaving the basketball world, you will start the next volleyball world with a weak debuff.]
We won't stay in this world for more than a school year, and nearly 70% of that time has already passed. If you don't want to start the next world weak and sickly, every stat point from now on is crucial, so it's best to consider carefully before using them.
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
It was rare for the system to speak so much in one breath with such earnestness. She also felt complicated and realized that she seemed to be really... spending "money" a little too lavishly.
Sensing her dejection, the system paused and said, "Don't be too nervous. It's a good idea to buy the O'Neill item. It might be effective against Qingfeng."
……Um?
Yes, isn't it that Qingfeng turned evil because he was invincible in basketball and no one could find him interesting?
But if it were her now, possessed by the prop O'Neal, perhaps Qingfeng could rediscover the joy of basketball?
System: [And whether it's basketball, volleyball, or tennis, once purchased, the skill props are permanent. You will permanently gain the skill ability, and you can even continue to use it in the next world.]
Kurikawa Sana's eyes lit up instantly.
Hold forever? Such a good deal! It's a great buy!
…
Just as she and the system were having a heated discussion in her mind.
Sudden.
A "bang" sound broke through the air——
"Sana!" The Eye of the Emperor of Heaven sensed the danger, and Akashi Seijuro's face changed drastically. He pulled her to the side and quickly hid -
The bullet grazed the hair and embedded itself deeply into the ground, filling the air with gunpowder smoke.
Kurikawa Sana looked back in surprise, only to see the kidnapper leader pointing a gun at them, with an extremely ferocious and terrifying expression on his face.
Sure enough, how could a ruthless criminal who could kidnap someone in broad daylight and demand a 2 billion ransom not have a gun?!
If Akashi hadn't reacted quickly and pulled her away, she might have been shot.
[System, do you think O'Neal can dodge bullets?]
System: […Of course you can’t avoid it.]
The man opposite sneered, aiming his gun at Akashi Seijuro. "Oh? I aimed the shot at her, and you managed to dodge it? Then your luck has run out. This is the end, young master of the Akashi family."
"I wonder how you can dodge this shot—"
The other party had already pulled the trigger, and Akashi Seijuro's face changed slightly, but he saw the black-haired girl beside him rushing in front of him at an extremely fast speed.
She stood in front of him fearlessly, as a protector.
At the same time, another gunshot rang out, tearing through the silent night sky.
!!!
In an instant, Akashi Seijuro felt that all the blood in his body was flowing backwards and rushing to his brain, so that everything in front of his eyes went blank.
She actually...
Without hesitation, I took the bullet for him.
At this distance, even if humans push their physical limits, they still cannot withstand gunfire.
The bullet was aimed at him, but she rushed in front of him and blocked the bullet for him.
[Akagi Seijuro, favorability +15. ]
"... Sana."
The voice that called out her name trembled, and Akashi Seijuro's pupils contracted violently. He stretched out his hand to touch her, but the next second he saw that the girl was holding a...
Tennis racket?!
Akashi Seijuro was completely stunned.
——Ashura Shinto, black hole.
As the bullet flew towards Akashi, the night time came to midnight on Thursday.
Using the fastest speed, Kurikawa Sana bought the tennis world's magical skills, [Ashura Shinto Black Hole], and [a pair of hard rackets] at a 50% discount in the system's advanced mall.
[Black Hole: Swing your racket to reduce the space in front of you, achieving complete stillness, creating a black hole that swallows up the opponent's tennis ball and any matter. → Redemption Required: 50 points (Half-price sale on Crazy Thursday)]
The moment she realized this magical tennis skill, Kurikawa Sana felt as if the world had stopped, as if she could dominate everything in front of her.
She just swung the racket forward lightly, and a "black hole" in the physical sense that was visible to the naked eye appeared in front of her, instantly swallowing up the bullet attacking Akashi. Then the black hole and the bullet disappeared together, and could no longer hurt them at all.
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Not only was the kidnapper on the opposite side shocked, but she herself was also silent.
"Sana, you..." Akashi Seijuro looked at her in surprise. Before he could say anything, the sirens of police cars finally sounded around them, and the headlights of the police cars illuminated everything in the darkness.
…
*
Even after the police arrested all the criminals after a fierce fight and everything was settled, Kurikawa Sana was still in a daze sitting in the police car.
The system thought she was upset about spending another 50 points, so it consoled her: [It's okay, Sana, just buy it. After all, the items you buy can be carried over to the next world.]
[The basketball and tennis skills you've purchased will stay with you forever. Ashura Shinto's Black Hole is a great asset. Possessing this ability is very helpful for conquering the world of tennis. Who can resist a girl who can create a black hole with her racket?]
Kurikawa Sana: [No... I don't regret it, it was just so cool.]
system:? ?
Kurikawa Sana: [This is so cool! The skills in the tennis world are too strong! ! !]
system:【……】
The policeman driving the car carefully glanced back through the rearview mirror. The stunningly beautiful black-haired girl looked like she was still in a daze, which was heartbreaking to see.
It was normal for her to feel scared after being implicated in such a terrible kidnapping case. The red blood marks on the girl's snow-white wrists were shocking just to look at.
The young master of the Akashi family next to her still had a terrifying expression on his face, and their hands were tightly clasped together. The young master was staring at her, his eyes never moving away for even a second.
…
When he arrived at the police station to take a statement, Akashi Seijuro's father, Akashi Masami, and the Akashi Group's legal team also arrived at the police station.
Akashi Masami had a strong aura and extraordinary majesty. When he saw that his son Akashi Seijuro was safe and sound, Akashi Masami's extremely miserable expression finally eased a little.
His scrutinizing gaze fell on the black-haired girl whose hand Akashi Seijuro was holding tightly. Akashi Masami paused slightly but didn't say anything for the time being.
"Akashi-kun, Ms. Kurikawa, how did you escape?" the police asked again uncertainly.
Kurikawa Sana: "I played tennis for a bit."
Akashi Seijuro said expressionlessly, "I dribbled the basketball, causing the kidnapper to lose his balance and fall to the ground."
The police on the scene: “…”
The Akashi family’s legal team: “…………”
A dead silence fell over the police station.
Until the sound of Akashi Seiomi's applause broke the silence.
"Very good. The skills you learned from the basketball club activities you usually participate in also come in handy at the critical moment. Even when you were kidnapped, you were able to maintain your victory. You did a great job, Seijuro."
There was a hint of relief in Akashi Seishi's serious voice: "Being able to be both civil and martial, only then can you be worthy of being the heir of the Akashi family."
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Police and lawyer: “…”
Is this the family education of the Akashi family, Japan's top tycoon? It's so terrifying!
