Chapter 52: Update 1 + 2: Player steps on the warrior's head! ...
"Rikkai University Affiliated High School VS Qinglin Junior High School——"
“3:0!”
"A great victory for Rikkai!"
"Rikkai University Affiliated High School VS Naochuan Middle School——"
“3:0!”
"A great victory for Rikkai!"
"Rikkai University Affiliated High School VS Kamiya No. 1 Junior High School——!"
“3:0!”
"A great victory for Rikkai!"
One after another, one battle after another,
The name that was repeated over and over again in the judge's mouth,
"The winner is Rikkai University!"
I remembered,
I remember everything.
For fifteen consecutive years, he was suppressed by the "Kanto Overlord" to the point where he could hardly stand up and even had difficulty breathing. The high-pressure environment was soul-stirring.
They ignored the dangers of Rikkai University's strange and incomprehensible behavior this year—and now they've fallen into its trap!
It was intentional, these guys definitely did it on purpose, they wanted to make them let down their guard so they could give them a heavy blow!
Treat their pain as amusement, shake the red wine glass as a topic of conversation after dinner -
This, this is totally the bad taste of the 'Kanto Overlord'!
Teasing the opponent, and when the opponent is shaken by the slightest difference from their usual performance, giving them unparalleled despair,
There is nothing better than falling from heaven to hell!
"Rikkai University Affiliated High School VS Morinosaki Junior High School——"
"3:0, Rikkai wins big time!!"
Lost again...
For sixteen consecutive years, no team in Kanagawa Prefecture has been able to break through the territory set by the monster called "Rikkai University".
Morinosaki's singles match, the ace of the third-year boys' tennis team, knelt on the ground, his hands supporting his eyes as he stared at the ground, trembling.
My fingers were shaking and I couldn't even hold the racket.
My whole heart was filled with spreading fear.
Horrible, so horrible.
The opponent I was fighting against...was just a first-year student.
But now, not even the slightest thought of resistance arises in my heart. Even just seeing the shadow cast by the other party, the fear in my heart continues to rise.
You will lose, you will definitely lose.
It is difficult to defeat him and resist him no matter what.
Even in Rikkai University, the 'Kanto Overlord', there can't be such a monstrous guy! ?
Is this too much?!
The battle ended in eight minutes and twenty-one seconds, as the final finishing touch, the closer.
Normal matches are completely one-sided.
There is absolutely no hope of fighting back.
Desperate tennis.
From the other side of the net, there was a person holding a racket, with his eyes slightly lowered and no expression.
Why is this guy so strong——I’ve never heard of him before!?
Such a person should have been famous in junior high school, or even earlier! !
"You won again, Keina-chan. You showed no mercy this time~"
Marui Bunta, who had finally recovered from the colorful grilled fish, sighed leisurely. Of course, his memory seemed to be fragmented, and he only had a vague impression of how he won the singles match against Qinglin in the first game.
If I go into detail, I can't remember it at all.
He went to ask, but without exception, everyone in Rikkai remained tight-lipped.
Even Jack Sangyuan, who had the best tacit understanding with him, smiled bitterly and said, "Bunta, some things... it's better not to ask so clearly..."
"Otherwise," Jack Sangyuan said slowly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it..."
Although I instinctively wanted to say that there was something I couldn't accept,
But at a certain moment, the memory of the conversation with Yukimura at Kanai General Hospital came to mind.
Breaking world records and unconsciously doing unspeakable things...
“…”
It seems like I guessed something.
Marui Bunta could only silently turn his attention to the Mushroom Head on the court.
In the two consecutive days of competition, except for the first round on the first day which lasted five sets, the rest of the games were all ended with a quick '3:0'.
In the two days of competition, it is hard to say whether it is lucky or unfortunate, the closer is basically Kei Yagi.
The others either crossed their arms or watched silently the performance of the younger players on the field, but Liu's notebook and pen had not stopped since the start of the game.
Marui glanced sideways and noticed a number of familiar figures outside the stadium.
'Qing Rin', 'Ichi Naokawa', 'Kamiya Yi'...
Without exception, they were all defeated by Rikkai University in this Kanagawa Prefecture tournament.
So this is... everyone is here to watch Kei's game?
The winner is decided, the referee blows the whistle and signals a handshake.
Morinosaki's ace tried his best to push himself to the net.
The person on the opposite side had already swept past him and walked away with the racket in his hand as if he was sweeping through a handful of air.
“…”
Morinosaki's ace looked at his outstretched hand and gave a wry smile.
...After being crushed and beaten like this, it's only right that he be ignored.
He slowly clenched his hands and looked up again, wanting to deeply remember the image of the freshman from Rikkai University who destroyed his dream.
Good thing, this kid still has two years left. In the next two years, he won't encounter monsters like this again...
Looking up, the figure that had just walked out paused, and suddenly turned back.
Morinosaki Ace: “…”
He was a little dazed, and saw the monster on the other side of the net who had just ended his dream, staring at him for a while with his dead fish eyes.
Morinosaki Ace: “?”
Oh, could it be that someone read his thoughts?
The player A'd the red-named NPC.
That’s right, the permanent debuff [Fear] in the status bar is still there.
After two days and five games, the players have mastered the use of combo skills.
The enemy red-named NPCs in the battle are all in full status without exception.
Now is the time to take revenge on our NPCs!
After turning back and staring at the red-named NPC, the player turned around and left.
The third-year ace Morinosaki who was left behind: "..."
Looking at the Mushroom Head who was about to go down, the Rikkai people were almost waiting for him.
The player's goal is very clear, from Kirihara Akaya all the way to Sanada Genichirō,
Just when everyone was about to ask Mushroom Head about his current condition, he poked them without them being prepared. It was just a poke,
He even picked up his racket and pointed at the empty court.
Everyone: “…”
Marui Bunta tried to understand: "Kui means... to fight us?"
Jack Sangyuan said slowly, "It seems... probably."
Niou Masaharu recalled: "These past few days... have we provoked him?"
Yagyu Hiroshi: "Probably not. It might just be a whim of Yagi-kun."
"Want to fight?"
"...I feel like things will definitely get worse if I hit him."
Everyone recalled the sudden chill that had come upon them.
Players wait,
The player looked expectantly at the NPC who invited him to the duel.
Without exception,
All rejected.
Player: “…”
What’s going on!
Why can't you attack your teammates?!
hateful!
Don't abuse the players!
Looking at the mushroom head with a pair of dead fish eyes that suddenly began to twist, twitch, squeak, and jump around,
The Rikkai crowd saw a vision of a cow cat that was fine one second and then went crazy without any warning the next.
Exorcism, you must exorcise the evil spirits!
"The nearest shrine is twenty kilometers away," Liu is a man of action.
After finishing my words, I packed my bag and left the court with the Rikkai team.
Everyone held Jibaimao hostage as they walked, fearing that the guy would slip away again if they weren't paying attention.
Kirihara Akaya, who had no choice but to offer his own game console, said with a bitter face, "It's so far away—isn't there somewhere closer?"
Jack Kuwahara hesitantly suggested, "Then... the temple?"
“…”
“Can temples exorcise evil spirits?”
"They all seem to have similar meanings... Let's try it out."
This is why all the people from Rikkai appeared in front of the temple.
However, compared to the normal secular definition of a temple, this place seems a bit too homely and dilapidated.
Comparing the navigation and pictures on the phone,
Marui Bunta said slowly: "This is really a show of buyers and sellers..."
Jack Kuwahara: "Ha, haha... But at least, you can tell it's a temple, right?"
"Ah, you are..."
The small door beside the temple opened, and a woman with long straight black hair came out, seemingly pushing a bicycle. She immediately noticed the Rikkai Volkswagen people standing at the door, neatly dressed and carrying tennis bags.
Sanada tugged at the brim of his hat slightly, and Marui Bunta, who was more adept at interacting with women, explained, "We're here to pray... to exorcise evil spirits, that's what it means anyway..."
The woman immediately understood what they meant, clapped her hands and smiled slightly, "Sure, please wait a moment, I'll go get someone..."
“Oh, oh…Okay…”
Turning around: "Uncle——!! Someone is coming, don't be lazy and sleep in anymore!!"
The people standing at the door of Rikkai Public Security Bureau clearly heard the sound of someone falling inside, followed by a lazy and lazy male voice.
"Really, Nanako, I told you to keep your voice down. If you have anything to say, please tell me gently..."
As he said this, the paper sliding door swung open neatly.
A figure dressed in a dark kimono walked out from the door.
The man glanced at the six figures standing in a row at the door, his eyes especially lingering on the tennis bags carried by several of them. He raised his eyebrows slightly, finally getting a little interested.
"Oh? Hey guys, what are you doing...?"
I probably guessed that the crooked and unruly person who walked out was a monk from the temple, but no matter how I looked at it... he seemed completely unreliable.
Kirihara Akaya pulled Marui next to him, "Marui-senpai... why don't we just forget it..."
He thought for a moment, "...It's not necessary to exorcise Kei. We've almost gotten used to it. Just bear with it, bear with it."
Marui Bunta: "..."
He said with difficulty: "Akaye... So you think that this is to exorcise the evil spirit for Kei?"
Kirihara Akaya: “?”
"Eh... isn't it?"
Jack Sangyuan said weakly: "...It's for ourselves."
Kirihara Akaya: “!!”
He was shocked and blurted out: "What about Kei!?!"
"——Don't drive Kei away!!"
“…”
“………”
The monk Nanjiro Echizen who came out of the temple had no interest in the conversation between the group of kids in front of him. What piqued his interest was the tennis bags they were carrying on their backs and the Rikkai University emblem on them.
I heard from Ryoma that the host school for last week's training camp was Rikkai University...
After returning from that training camp, the kid became even more boring. He never gets angry no matter how you tease him. He's almost become a ninja.
He didn't remember teaching the boy such strong patience.
In the youth school led by that old woman, I think there will be no problem.
Therefore, the only place where accidents can happen is Rikkai University!
Echizen Nanjiro narrowed his eyes, and his gaze drifted to the group of little brats who were still chattering.
He pretended to be impatient and urged, "Hey, hey, buddy, have you thought about it? My time is very precious."
The dishonest monk over there is urging, and inside Rikkai University,
Kirihara Akaya tried his best to stop everyone from driving Kei away, shedding wide noodles tears, and tried to persuade them with emotion and reason.
"Everyone——Have you forgotten the precious friendship between Kei and us?!"
"...precious friendship?"
"Yes, yes!"
Kirihara Akaya counted on his fingers: "Kui comes to supervise our training on time at 7:30 every day!"
Marui Fumita was silent. "If I remember correctly, Akaya, when you say 'punctual supervision'... do you mean the daily bombing?"
Kirihara Akaya: “!!”
He gave another example: "But Kei still cares about our bodies! Even if we're bombed, there's still Kei Juice!!"
Jack Sangyuan said weakly: "Is there a possibility that we... don't need to be bombed, and don't need to drink Kei Juice..."
Kirihara Akaya: “!!!”
"Even so! Keita is an indispensable member of our team—he is our…"
Kirihara Akaya, who was looking for confirmation everywhere, turned around and was completely stunned.
"Eh, eh, Duo... Kei... Where's Kei?"
“…”
“………”
Because their attention was involuntarily drawn to Kirihara Akaya's words and they ignored a certain high-risk guy, the Rikkai public: "..."
"Oh my god! Kei is missing again!!!"
Echizen Nanjiro really didn't have time to play with these little brats. For some reason, he always felt a heavy burden on his head.
Could it be that I twisted my neck from lying down for too long?
Echizen Nanjiro: "Hey, guys, why don't you come back after you've thought it over? I'm going back first—"
While searching for the disappeared juniors, he extended his hand to try to retain the monks in the temple.
Marui turned around and said, "Um, that monk over there, please wait a moment—oh my god!?!"
After a series of broken sounds, everyone in Rikkai who noticed something was wrong turned around.
The cat that successfully witnessed the disappearance stood on the monk's head with an expressionless face and dead eyes.
Stand at attention, very straight.
“…”
Jack Sangyuan said weakly, "When did he pass away..."
After being stopped by Marui's words, Echizen Nanjiro turned around impatiently and said, "Ha - guys, what's the matter with you guys? Just tell me."
He took a quick look and found that the expressions of the boys in front of him all seemed subtly a little off.
They looked left and right, and finally slowly looked at his face...
Oh? Did you recognize him?
Echizen Nanjiro was quite complacent, after all, he was considered a legendary player.
Few of the younger generation today can recognize him.
But there is such a possibility.
If they came to ask for his autograph later, would he refuse with all his heart, or would he pretend to refuse and then accept?
Echizen Nanjiro is caught in a sweet distress at the moment, perhaps because this sweet distress is too sweet, so it is a bit heavy.
His neck was sore from the heavy work, and Echizen Nanjiro couldn't help but scratch his head.
The Rikkai public just watched helplessly as Jibai Cat raised his hands and feet to quickly avoid the monk's scratching hand,
Left hand, left foot, right hand, right foot, left hand, left foot, right hand, right foot...
Uniform and orderly movements,
It just stunned several people.
No, the evil must be driven out. This evil must be driven out!
After scratching his head for a long time and finding nothing, Echizen Nanjiro had no choice but to put his sleeves in his hands and prepare to turn around and leave.
As a result, the people from Rikkai University behind him extended their hands again.
"Um, w-Uncle monk..." Kirihara Akaya squeezed out the words with difficulty, trying not to let his eyes drift upwards too obviously.
"Do you feel something wrong with your neck or head?"
Echizen Nanjiro looked at him strangely, "Now that you mention it, I felt it just now, but it seems even more obvious now... Why did it suddenly become so heavy..."
"...Of course it sank. After all, it was a whole piece of shit."
A clear thought passed through the hearts of the people in Lihai.
Eye contact, crazy communication,
“——What should I do? What should I do?!”
"Are we just going to leave Kei here? He'll definitely be discovered!!"
"But if we suddenly tell this monk, 'Uncle, our team member is standing above you, please lower your head and move,' we'll definitely be considered crazy!!"
"——I have a plan!"
Echizen Nanjiro was still waiting for the guy who just spoke to say something else, when he saw these people suddenly huddled together head to head and started whispering.
He scratched his neck, somewhat confused about the young people of today.
Liu said softly, "The probability of successfully calling Yagi down without alerting the monks in the temple is now 0.0001%."
Marui: "Then we can't let Kei always...always stand on his head like that..."
Niou said slowly, "So, we can quietly take Keina back from him by having this monk show us around the temple, what do you think, Piyo?"
Kirihara clenched his fist: "Kyu no recapture battle, huh? I get it!"
Yagyu pushed his glasses up again, "But the others in the temple would probably find it hard to accept this either."
Liu: “Not necessarily.”
Everyone looked over immediately.
Liu narrowed his eyes and said, "Looking at this monk's attire, tone, and behavior, we can infer his personality: unruly, independent, and very self-centered. Looking at the layout of the temple, the probability of other monks appearing in this temple is 21.2%."
"And the most important point is, the probability that other people who are unfamiliar with Kei will automatically understand and accept this scene is—"
"Ah, uncle, are you still here?"
The woman who just unloaded her bicycle, Echizen Nanjiro's niece, Echizen Nanako, appears again.
This time, she saw several people from Rikkai University gathered there to discuss strategies, as well as Echizen Nanjiro with his hands tucked into his sleeves.
Amidst the tense, serious, and worried gazes of the crowd, Echizen Nanako raised her eyes.
He made eye contact with Yagi Kei, who was being held above Echizen Nanjiro's head.
Echizen Nanako: “…”
A hint of doubt appeared on the woman's face.
The hearts of the people at Rikkai were almost in their throats.
Don't, don't—don't—
But soon, Echizen Nanako clenched her left fist and knocked her right palm, "I see."
She smiled and said, "Is this also the new way of exercise you've been looking for, uncle? Although it's a bit novel, it's indeed very effective for the neck."
Rikkai people: "..."
Confused, Echizen Nanjiro: "?"
What are you talking about, girl?
Echizen Nanako: "Then I'll leave this place to you, uncle. Please treat the guests well! I'm going to buy groceries!"
After she finished speaking, she smiled at the people at Rikkai University and rode away on her bicycle with a ding-ding-ding sound.
“100%.”
Liu finished what he hadn't finished saying.
“…”
“………”
"Is this actually possible?"
Sanada: "...That's so unbecoming!"
"Now is not the time to say such things," Jack Sangyuan was not the only one who felt weak, the others were also a little tired.
But the evil cat that needed to be exorcised was still waiting for them, so everyone had to cheer up.
Marui Bunta approached and made polite remarks, using the art of language: "Uncle... monk, you look very familiar to me!"
Echizen Nanjiro's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that... these guys really recognized him?
Following closely, Kirihara Akaya nodded blindly and followed suit: "Yes, yes, Uncle Monk, I also think you look very familiar and very approachable. We must have met somewhere before!"
Echizen Nanjiro: "Oh—where have I seen you before?"
Kirihara Akaya: “……!!”
Why did he suddenly ask back?!
In a panic, I could only answer casually: "On the tennis court!!"
The other people from Rikkai University slowly looked at him.
No... How is it possible that a random monk on the street can play tennis? This isn't just a world of tennis!!!
Echizen Nanjiro: "!"
I can confirm through eye contact that I’m definitely his fan!
He wiped his nose, and inexplicably, under the gaze of the little fans who were looking at him with admiration and joy (through the Echizen Nanjiro filter), he became more like an idol. He coughed and put on some airs.
"Hmph... If that's the case, then it seems I can't hide it. Now that you've discovered it, then so be it!"
Rikkai people: "..."
Rikkai people: “???”
Um, what does this sentence mean...?
Echizen Nanjiro: "It seems like you really pay attention to me, hahahahaha!!"
The only thing on his mind was a certain quiet cat, Kirihara Akaya, who laughed along casually: "Yeah, yeah, ha, haha..."
He laughed and began to move closer, trying to scoop up the cat.
The people of Rikkai watched helplessly as the signal was inexplicably matched.
...Is this really a world that only exists for tennis?
But it doesn’t matter anymore, Chi Ye is approaching!
Just one step closer - he can get the chicken and the cat!
The people from Rikkai University looked at each other and started to cover up.
Marui Bunta laughed and said, "Speaking of which, Uncle Monk, this temple is truly a temple. Is it your property?"
Jack Sangyuan also agreed: "Yes, yes, Uncle Monk, how long have you been here? We are very curious about this place. Can you tell us about it?"
Echizen Nanjiro was distracted by the words coming from left and right, and his attention gradually shifted.
Kirihara Akaya took the opportunity to point to the sky, "Look! There's a plane!!"
“…”
Echizen Nanjiro looked at him silently.
The eyes of the Rikkai people were filled with an indescribable feeling.
It seems a bit too old.
Kirihara Akaya looked at the beach photo magazine that Echizen Nanjiro had stuck in his belt, and suddenly a plan came to his mind. He pointed again.
"—Look! There's a beautiful woman over there!!"
Echizen Nanjiro turned his head quickly without any connection, and Kirihara Akaya quickly grabbed him with both hands and hugged him.
"Huh? Where's the beauty over there? Boy, why are you still lying to me!?"
Echizen Nanjiro grumbled unhappily,
He turned around too quickly and only had time to grab the cat. Kirihara Aka, who didn't have time to retreat, also laughed.
“U-Um…”
Marui Bunta quickly followed up: "Uncle Monk, do you feel your neck is a little relieved now?"
Hearing this, Echizen Nanjiro turned his head and was surprised: "It actually feels a lot easier now!"
Niou Masaharu also followed suit: "That's right, he was just helping you, the monk, with your neck, puri~"
"The proof is that I feel much more relaxed now, piyo~"
“…”
"So Niou-kun's con artists also include those of this level..."
"Hush, partner, don't expose me."
The player just found that the head of another special NPC that was refreshed was bright.
In the player's field of vision, it was like a 100,000-volt light bulb, with an arrow pointing above his head saying, "I have something good, come and step on me!"
The player tried his best to resist but couldn't help but rush over.
After all, which player can resist the bright things there!
Congratulations on discovering the Samurai Head x 1
[Head of the Warriors: Stand up and you will become a true warrior.
Special Effect: Height +1.83m]
The player waited patiently for a while.
The player waited for a while.
…
No more?
No, it’s that direct?
The players fell into an unspeakable silence.
Yagi Kei's silence did not alert Rikkai University.
After all, everyone is now thinking about how to quickly escape with the motionless cat.
Of course, before escaping... you have to get rid of the evil first.
Chiye seemed to be targeted by that strange monk, who kept chasing Chiye and telling him about his glorious history.
So after rescuing the cat, everyone started to think about how to rescue Akaye.
In the short time we were thinking, the topic had gradually spread from monks, temples, and exorcism to tennis and fighting.
Isn’t this right? ! !
"Come on, kid," Echizen Nanjiro said mysteriously, "I have some good stuff here, come with me!"
“…”
"Why does it feel like a creepy old man pinching him and saying that..."
"Feel the same."
Kirihara Akaya was nervous: "Well, let's put that aside for now..."
Echizen Nanjiro patted him on the shoulder generously: "--Really, since you are my fan, why are you being so polite to me? Come on, come on, I will show you the backyard here to see if there is anything that you will definitely be interested in!"
Kirihara Akaya looked at the other people in Rikkai University for help.
Everyone wanted to speak but stopped, stopped and wanted to speak again.
And the player suddenly moved at this moment,
I reported to the GM that the bright spot was so big that it almost blinded the players, but in the end it only gave them the effect of increasing height.
complaint!
Totally complaining!!
Give players back their goodies!
The GM responded very quickly, [It has been reset for you, you can try to obtain it again now~]
Once again, a 100,000-volt light bulb blinded the entire player's vision.
The special NPC's head is as bright as day!
'Head of the Samurai'——The player is back! !
My peripheral vision caught a slight movement, and my intuition reacted first.
Genichirō Sanada fully witnessed how the mushroom head, who was being clamped in the middle of the crowd just a second ago, suddenly raised his head, did a backflip on the spot, and jumped out with three steps.
The effect was no different from pulling onions out of dry land, but he flew out directly in front of everyone's surprised, panicked, and confused gazes.
The kick hit the target accurately, and landed on the forehead of Echizen Nanjiro who was laughing loudly.
Echizen Nanjiro, who was still laughing a second ago: ...
Following closely behind, his instinct had already caught up quickly, and he stretched out his hand with all his strength to grab the corner of Yagi Kei's clothes to try to save the situation. Sanada Genichirō slipped and
The outstretched hand... straight down,
It grabbed Echizen Nanjiro's belt exactly.
"Bang!"
"What's wrong, Dad? Why is there such a noise at the door? What are you doing—"
The paper door swung open, and Echizen Ryoma, who was complaining while grabbing his hair, raised his eyes and looked towards the door.
defenseless,
He saw a pair of smooth, round, and shiny buttocks.
……butt?
The next second,
A lingering face, standing firmly on the forehead of a familiar figure who looked like his father, came into view.
Glancing at the refreshed Qingxue NPC, the player thought for a moment and then greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Yo."
“…”
“………”
"Crack!"
Echizen Ryoma slammed the door shut and turned away.
Really, I actually had hallucinations in broad daylight.
He is really Madamadane!
