The gun spun a few times in the air and landed in front of Judy. She turned around and caught the falling gun, then pulled the trigger for the last time. The last monster on the screen exploded with a bang.
A congratulatory voice echoed from the machine, celebrating a perfect victory. Just like the female protagonist on the screen, Judy moved her lips slightly and blew on the muzzle of the gun, as if blowing away the gunpowder smoke from the video game gun.
Ran and Sonoko quickly stepped forward, asking incredulously, "Ms. Jodie? What brings you here today?"
Those standing nearby then realized that the video game expert in front of them was actually a teacher, and some of them even recognized that Ran and Sonoko were wearing Teitan High School uniforms.
Judy, seemingly not wanting to be exposed, quickly waved her hand and explained to those around her, "NO NO NO, they've mistaken me for someone else."
After saying that, she took Sonoko and Kobayashi to the rest area in the arcade. After chatting for a few minutes, Sonoko learned that Judy would come to this arcade after school every day.
As a result, she is quite popular at the arcade now. Seeing Sonoko's puzzled look, Judy didn't hide anything and praised her without reservation: "Yes, your game consoles are very well designed and the games are fun, so Japanese game consoles have always been very popular in the United States."
She sighed as she spoke: "But because it's so popular, I always have to wait in line, and I'm exhausted by the time it's my turn. That's why I came here to be a teacher, so I can have as much fun as I want."
He spoke with a strange accent that mixed Japanese and English, but everyone could understand him. Guangyou smacked his lips and said, "Internet addict lady, that's a very good and powerful reason."
Actually, none of these things surprised Sonoko. Connecting this to what Jodie had said, Sonoko hesitated for a moment and asked, "So, teacher, the reason you teach so diligently is just to play video games?"
Judy nodded generously: "Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play if I got fired. It's so hard for foreigners like me to find jobs, so playing video games here is a secret. You guys have to keep it a secret for me."
Sonoko and Ran are quite young and quick to learn, so it's not a big deal for the teacher to come and play video games. What surprised them was Judy's superb gaming skills. Sonoko even remarked that Judy's performance just now resembled Billy the Kid.
When the two mentioned video games, Judy seemed to get excited again: "Then I'll show you an even more interesting game, it's the number one fighting game console right now!"
As she spoke, Judy eagerly got up and led the group to a video game console. The screen displayed the name of the game, which could be called something like Super Warrior Spirit or Great Warrior Spirit.
The game's name wasn't great, but Guangyou was surprised that such an interactive game console had appeared at this time of year.
Judy had Ran put on the helmet, sit in the arcade chair, insert coins, and choose a character called Patra for Ran, suitable for beginners.
Then, the metal parts of the chair's armrests and ankles closed together to secure Xiaolan to it, and a safety bar similar to that of a roller coaster slowly appeared on the back of the chair, securing Xiaolan to the chair.
Judy placed her hand on Xiaolan's right hand and said to Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, if you're ready, you just need to gently push your right fist forward to start the match."
After the match started, Xiaolan was clearly playing this for the first time and was a little lost. She didn't react to the enemy's movements in the game. Her fists were getting bigger and bigger when Xiaolan suddenly tilted her head to the right and frowned: "My face feels so numb!"
Seeing Xiaolan's reaction, Guangyou couldn't help but marvel. The current level of technology had actually created an interactive amusement machine. Although it was still far from the virtual reality of his previous life, it was already very good for the current situation.
Judy wasn't surprised and laughed, "It seems a bit difficult for girls."
Ran, however, ignored everything, closed her mouth and breathed heavily, her lips slightly parted. When Kouyu and Conan saw Ran's posture, Conan felt a sense of foreboding.
Ai squinted at Ran, who let out a soft shout, as if she had found her rhythm. She punched forward with both fists, her feet never stopping.
Instantly, the enemy on the screen also showed a very human-like expression of fear, and a series of quick and powerful combos came down on the burly man. In just a few seconds, Xiaolan won the victory.
Sonoko said to Jodie, "You wouldn't believe that Ran was once a karate champion."
Judy didn't hide her admiration, and just then, a male figure flashed on the screen, coldly saying, "I will defeat you."
Sonoko and Ran clearly didn't know what was going on, so Kouyu asked, "Is someone trying to challenge Ran-neechan?"
Judy nodded, then turned to look at the machine opposite Lan's. The person at the other machine seemed to have noticed their gazes and turned back with a cold laugh.
Judy said very seriously, "He's very strong, you have to be careful."
With a command, the opponent leaped up and threw a heavy punch. Facing the enemy's attack, Xiaolan was not to be outdone, but every attack was perfectly dodged by the opponent.
A sharp pain in her abdomen made Xiaolan close her eyes, her health bar instantly emptied, and the character she was controlling collapsed.
Guangyou frowned, looking at the mocking smile on the other's face after winning. He was not displeased, but then said, "Sister Xiaolan, let me do it."
The person in the distance, who had just taken off his hat, heard Guangyou's words and revealed a mocking smile: "Forget it, little brother, you should go home and eat your lollipop. And that little sister, that golden throne is my old man's reserved seat!"
"It's Kengo Obō! He's still so strong."
"Yes, it's quite domineering."
While the onlookers whispered among themselves about the man, Kengo grinned and stared in Ran's direction.
"You're pretty arrogant, aren't you?" Kōyū looked at Kengo's well-built physique without giving him any face. "Come on, give it a try?"
Sonoko also looked annoyed: "Do you think this is your home?"
She was still thinking about asking her family to buy the arcade and then ban this person from entering. She didn't say these words, which would sound arrogant to most people, but she had made up her mind.
"It's no use, little brother."
An employee at the arcade stepped forward and said, "He not only knows how to attack with his fists and feet, but he also knows how to use the buttons next to the controller to achieve the best effect. Besides, you probably haven't even played this machine before, so you can't beat him."
Looking at the name tag with the clerk's name on it, Kōyū glanced at Izushima Hitoshi's submissive expression and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's impossible for us to lose."
