Chapter 69: Players vs. the Extreme Training Version of Yukimura! ...
Niou Masaharu, shouting "I will definitely come back!", was carried away by the eighteen clubs of Rikkai University.
The scene was so miserable, pitiful, and unbearable to watch.
Everyone on the Rikkai University tennis club watched them go. Although they felt a little guilty looking at each other, they thought that the person they were being compared to was a junior who had rarely seen the light of day.
The guilty conscience has completely disappeared!
Nioh can come back, but as a human being, there may not be a next time for Kei Yagi!
Everyone successfully convinced themselves, and gradually evolved from the guilty conscience they had just felt to watching him go with a smile, and even reached out and waved when Ren Wang struggled to turn around.
"Have a safe journey, Niou——"
"We'll miss you, Niou!"
"Don't let up and head towards the Rikkai University president!"
“…”
“………”
Silence is spreading.
Marui Bunta murmured, "...even Sanada has spoken."
Just like that, Nioh was carried away by the Rikkai University Eighteen Clubs Alliance who shouted "Long Live the Minister" and disappeared at the entrance of the Rikkai University Tennis Department.
Everyone turned around and looked at Yagi Kei who was unusually quiet.
With three parts of expectation, three parts of relief, three parts of emotion and one part of helplessness, the people who formed a fan-shaped statistical chart looked at Yukimura and Yagi Kei with a smile.
Yukimura was handed a tulip and patted on the shoulder. His mood at the moment was undoubtedly very complicated.
The younger generation, who had always been unruly, did not expect that there would be this gift specially for him.
He thought it was another wave of giant cauliflowers attacking...
Looking at it this way, maybe the giant cauliflower was actually a way for Yagi Kei to express his affection, but it was misunderstood by them because of their usual behavior.
Thinking about it this way... I feel even more guilty!
Yukimura looked down at the black-haired boy in front of him, staring at him quietly for a while, and finally sighed slowly.
"I see. Thank you, Yagi."
He carried the giant cauliflower and collected the Venus tulips.
“…I will cherish it.”
[Yukimura Seiichi’s favorable impression +75]
After waiting for a long time, the player finally got a reaction from the special NPC and his eyes lit up.
——Here it comes!
As expected, I need to send gifts again to improve my favorability. I made the right choice!
And it added 25 points of favorability at one time, which is much more generous than before polarization.
Once again, the idea of sending fellow NPCs to polarization prevailed.
But now there is something more important!
That's the Special NPC Challenge!
The player waited for a while, and then attacked the special NPC again.
While carrying the huge cauliflower and carefully storing the Venus tulips, Yukimura, who had been patted on the shoulder, was suddenly patted on the butt.
Yukimura Seiichi: "..."
The Rikkai public, who were immersed in the touching scene between the president and his juniors, said: "..."
Although, is this the time for this action?!
Whether it was Yukimura or the others, they all had the same idea in their minds.
"Sure enough, the younger generation is acting like a nobody again!"
Because the other person had been a non-human for quite a long time, and had been a human for quite a short time, so when he returned to being non-human, I unexpectedly felt a sense of familiarity like returning home.
"Is Kei coming back?" Kirihara Akaya asked nervously.
"I think, yes... yes..." Marui Fumita said slowly.
Although Jack Sangyuan tried hard to organize his words, he still couldn't get around it, so he had to say,
"After all, Yagi suddenly slapped Yukimura's butt..."
As soon as the word "butt" was uttered, even the silent Sanada and the calm Yanagi couldn't hold it in any longer.
Not to mention Yukimura Seiichi who was directly hit in the center.
For a moment, the smile on his face became stiff.
Players are still waiting for the system pop-up prompt.
Weird, didn't the NPC of the cosplayer who started the last round already exit the combat recognition range? Why hasn't a new one started yet?
The player treated the special NPC in front of him as a broken TV, approached it and patted it up and down, then stepped back and waited.
If there is no response, go forward and pat it up and down, then step back and wait.
The people of Rikkai watched helplessly as Yagi Kei moved forward and backward, forward and backward.
It maintains a unique rhythm and tempo, and is even somewhat pleasing to the eye.
“…No, is it really pleasing to the eyes??”
"So what is he doing? Even Yukimura can't handle it if he keeps filming like this..."
NPC and player's thinking cannot be shared.
Just like normal people can never understand a cat's every move.
Being slapped again and again, Yukimura Seiichi even felt like he was being pressed down a little by the ground beneath his feet. Although he was smiling,
But my heart is already filled with confusion and helplessness.
What a familiar scene...
The feeling of being hurt every time I was alone with Yagi Kei finally came back to me.
It had been a long time since he last saw the world... After half a month, he even thought he had returned to the normal world.
Yukimura was smiling, but he looked a little dead.
Player A tried dozens of times, but the challenge pop-up window never appeared.
Player: “…”
The silent Yagi Kei and the desperate Yukimura looked at each other.
Yukimura struggled to detect a hint of emotion from the strange light in the dead fish's eyes, and pulled the corner of his mouth, "Hmm... Yagi, do you want to do something..."
It’s finally here – the dialogue switch!
Yagi Kei: "War?"
“…”
For some reason, unfamiliar muscle memory suddenly swept over him, causing Yukimura Seiichi to open his mouth without any preparation.
"Fight!"
If the signal was received, a gleam of light would flash across the eyes of the dead-eyed mushroom in front of him.
"Come!"
"Come on... Fight!"
[Special NPC Yukimura Seiichi is being challenged by you]
【Do you want to start the challenge now? 】
·yes
·no
It’s finally here!
Without a trace of hesitation, without a trace of hesitation,
Click!
【·yes】
[Congratulations, the game is about to begin... Please clear the field within three seconds, otherwise the challenge will be considered a failure!]
【3, 2, 1...】
The Rikkai players, who were still standing there, surrounding Yukimura Seiichi and Yagi Kei, were taken out of the court without any warning.
The player used a quick approach and aimed attack to 'gently' get him out of the battle area.
I only saw a few shadows of "Shua", and heard the sound, but not the person. Then I reacted -
Suddenly, Yukimura and the player were the only two people left on the tennis court!
"...How did we get out just now?"
"I can't remember... Did we walk out?"
"It didn't come out... could it have flown out?"
“…”
“………”
Hanging on the net, Kirihara Aka also slowly stretched out his hand.
"Hey... before we discuss this, could you please rescue me first..."
The Rikkai public outside the stadium had a moment of amnesia.
On the court, the most outstanding work of the players... crops, after 6636 days of unwavering urging and companionship from the players, successfully raised the value to the highest level, Yukimura Seiichi.
Finally, at this moment,
The two of them are truly standing on the same court!
Although Yukimura Seiichi was carrying a giant cauliflower on his left shoulder and a Venus tulip in his right hand.
The player slowly took out his tennis racket.
Yukimura Seiichi: "..."
No, with this kind of start, is he going to use a giant cauliflower to fight his juniors?
Yukimura said slowly: "Yagi, how about I go change the racket first?"
The player then realized that the attack weapon used by the special NPC on the opposite side was a giant cauliflower.
After a pause, Yukimura saw that the mushroom-headed man on the opposite side did not refute, so he felt relieved and prepared to go to the coach's chair on the side of the field.
Just then, the player moved.
Yagi Keita slowly took out another giant cauliflower from his backpack...
“…”
Yukimura fell silent.
The others who were watching this scene outside the stadium remained silent.
No, no...
Whose tennis club plays... not with rackets, but with giant cauliflowers?!
For a moment, everyone felt a little weak.
Marui Bunta murmured: "Can this game really go on..."
Jack Sangyuan said slowly, "Compared to whether or not we can proceed...are there really no other problems..."
Sanada and Yanagi remained silent, just staring into the arena.
After Yagi Kei took out the giant cauliflower, even the omnipotent "Son of God" Yukimura was momentarily speechless.
It's not that I don't want to talk, but once I imagine both of us playing tennis with giant cauliflowers on our shoulders,
You run around with broccoli, and I keep hitting back with broccoli.
The scene seemed a little too beautiful.
After a long moment, I watched as Yagi Kei, who was on the other side of the net, began to tentatively pull out a tennis ball from his pocket, then bent his knees and jumped up to lift the giant cauliflower on the other side.
Yukimura Seiichi hurriedly called a halt.
The player who was suddenly stopped looked at the special NPC on the opposite side in confusion, who still had not entered the combat state.
Yukimura Seiichi organized the words: "Um, Yagi... maybe we can do this in a more normal way?"
Player: “?”
The player looked down at the status bar and saw the weapon 'Giant Cauliflower'.
[Giant Cauliflower: Attack +10,
Not only can you play, but you can also eat when you are tired. It is your wise choice.
No problem, isn't this equipped with an equipment slot?
The younger player on the other side of the net looked up again. Yukimura, who was hoping that the other side would realize the problem and make improvements, was met with a pair of dead fish eyes full of wisdom.
Yukimura Seiichi: "..."
It really makes it difficult for him to expect his juniors to have human-like thinking.
Yukimura said slowly, "Maybe we can start by... using a normal tennis racket."
Player: “…”
This special NPC has so many requirements.
But it doesn't matter, the players will understand you.
The player clicked into the backpack and switched to the tennis racket.
All of a sudden, the giant cauliflower disappeared without a trace.
In contrast, Yukimura Seiichi, who was still carrying a huge cauliflower, said: "."
He quickly put down the cauliflower and the tulips and changed his tennis racket.
For some reason, he felt extremely tired before the game even started. He silently took off his coat and stood on the other side of the net again with his tennis racket in hand.
This set of procedures has made players wait for so long that even the flowers have wilted.
Yukimura Seiichi said slowly: "Yagi, thank you for waiting. I... am ready."
The player looked at him silently.
Yukimura, feeling inexplicably ashamed by this glance, clenched his racket tightly.
It's okay, it's okay. It's just a match against a junior. And now that I've switched to a normal tennis racket, there shouldn't be any other problems...
Yukimura slowly comforted himself in his heart.
Of course, he overestimated himself and underestimated the players.
“—The game begins!”
The third-year student from Rikkai University, who was walking peacefully on the road when he was suddenly grabbed and used as a referee, slowly wiped his sweat.
"Hachi, Yagi serves!"
He took out a tennis ball from his pocket, and this time the special NPC on the opposite side finally entered the combat state.
The aura around him was overflowing, and the Rikkai University uniform he was wearing fluttered without a breeze.
The special NPC has changed its form and entered the special copy BOSS mode.
Players instinctively looked up, glancing at the health bar before formulating a battle plan. Now, let's take a look at the health bar of the special dungeon boss, Yukimura Seiichi.
——Holy crap, it's actually glowing golden?! !
The player who was reaching for the tennis ball with one hand and swinging the racket with the other was stabbed in the eye for a moment.
There was a pause.
Looking up again, I saw a title under the ID of the special copy BOSS Yukimura Seiichi.
'Son of God',
['Son of God': Special effect 'Benefiting all directions',
Wherever he is, God is with him.
After watching for a long time, the player did not find any special effects.
It seems like this is just a 100,000-volt light bulb?!
Yukimura Seiichi was holding his racket, ready to hit Yagi Kei's serve head-on, but the mushroom-headed player on the opposite side suddenly stopped moving, stuck on the hitting point, and took out from the fourth dimension -
A pair of sunglasses!
Yukimura Seiichi: "?"
Other people from Rikkai University who witnessed this scene simultaneously: "?"
Um, what's the purpose of taking out sunglasses?
Mushroom Head put on his sunglasses, picked up the tennis racket again, picked up the ball on the ground and continued.
Yukimura Seiichi exhaled slowly, "Yagi, if I wear sunglasses, won't it be hard to see clearly..."
The player skips the NPC text bubble and serves the ball neatly on the spot.
Before Yukimura could finish his words, he dodged and swung his racket to meet the attack. The yellow ball flashed towards the racket face.
Whether it's speed, strength or accuracy, it's more than one level higher than the previous phantom.
"Is this the true strength of Yagi Kei?" Yukimura Seiichi lowered his eyes slightly.
"Bang!" He hit the tennis ball back with great force.
The yellow light flew over the net, and at the landing point, the calm Mushroom Head was already in the correct area.
“So fast!”
This is the voice of everyone, both inside and outside the field.
"...I just watched Yukimura fight Niou, but I haven't felt Kei's strength yet. Now it's Kei's turn..."
"This kid, when did he evolve to this level..."
The player intercepted accurately and attacked again.
It has to be said that the special copy BOSS's lethality is still very terrifying. Attacking back and forth can reduce a lot of the player's HP and stamina.
This level——It's almost the same as the weekly dungeon boss of [Samurai's Left Hand].
Is this the power of polarization? It's so terrifying!
The player exclaimed, "This is so terrifying!" and continued to attack, one after another, reducing the health bar of the special copy boss, Yukimura Seiichi.
Although it is scraping, the players have plenty of strength.
All players have fought against the Vernier Caliper Beyond the Skyline, so no player will be afraid of any other player!
The player who said this turned around and the screen went black.
Player: “…”
“Th-That’s…”
With a trembling voice, the Rikkai public approached the net with their upper bodies, their eyes wide open, wishing they could get into the court.
On the court, separated by a net,
It was Yukimura who raised his racket and hit the ball, and Yagi Kei who suddenly missed the ball.
"Sorry, I didn't want to use this trick on you, Yagi,"
Yukimura said in a low voice, "But as expected... when facing a strong opponent, it's more respectful to use all your strength."
Yukimura raised his eyes again and said softly, "You should be unable to see now..."
“—Can’t you see?!”
"So... Yukimura is using the annihilation of Yagi's five senses."
"Starting from the visual aspect..."
"Then it seems Kei's sunglasses came just in time!"
Kirihara Akaya was also happy and emotional.
“…”
“………”
Marui Bunta said slowly: "Akaye, play less with Kei next time."
The analysis of Yukimura's skills and the worry about the situation Yagi was facing were completely washed away by Kirihara Akaya's words.
What's left in my heart at this moment is a feeling of wanting to say something but being hesitant.
Although, but... I have to say, Kei/Yagi put on those sunglasses at the right time...
I just happened to be blind or something...
Unlike the initial concerns of the Rikkai public outside the stadium,
Although the player has lost his vision, this is like a fish without a bicycle.
Although he missed a ball, he turned around and picked up the racket, and continued to move forward.
Just listen to the sound to determine the location——!
"The next ball is hearing."
Snap, the hearing disappeared.
Player: “…”
Roast your sheep! Bullying the honest people, bullying the farmers!
The silent player slowly picked up the racket despite the double debuffs of [Blindness] and [Deafness].
Although the Debuff is somewhat fatal, it doesn't matter.
It was just a fatal blow, the players wouldn't care at all—
"The next ball is touch."
"Taste,"
"And lastly—the sense of smell."
Yukimura completed all the rituals, and on the other side of the net was Mushroom Head, whose five senses had been deprived.
Even he felt a little reluctant in his heart.
If I do this...I'll probably be hated after this game.
No matter how thick-skinned this kid is, this level... is still too much.
Yukimura tightened the racket in his hand slightly, staring straight at Yagi Kei who was standing still.
He shook his head slightly at the urging voice of the referee in the middle.
"…Give him a little more time."
If he had the chance again, he would still make the same choice.
When dealing with a recognized opponent, using all your strength is the greatest respect you can show to the other party.
Yukimura Seiichi's expression gradually cooled and his heart hardened.
"Yukimura..."
"…Kyu,"
The Rikkai public outside the stadium is facing the most difficult decision at this time.
The returning minister and the challenging juniors,
No matter who it is, they don't want to see anyone being beaten in this game.
And, trapped in the 'destruction of the five senses', the younger generation showed a rare bit of vulnerability and calmness...
Kirihara Akaya clenched the wire mesh and punched it hard: "Damn it!"
He didn't know who he was talking to. Genichirō Sanada, who should have been the first to reprimand him for being disrespectful to his seniors, was silent for a moment, lowered his hat and said nothing.
Kei Yagi, who defeated them, ignored other people's words and gazes. To some extent, this was something that everyone was used to and respected.
No one expected that he would fail, just as no one expected to witness his vulnerability one day.
Marui Bunta slowly patted Kirihara Akaya's shoulder, "It's okay... It's okay Akaya, what if Kei breaks through!"
He said it optimistically, but no one present knew who was who.
Until now, there have been few people who have been able to survive Yukimura's "Five Senses Destruction" without a scratch, or even the enhanced version of it today...
The answer seems to be predetermined...
The player stares into the darkness.
Silence, silence is the player of today.
It turns out that the skill of this special dungeon BOSS... is to lock the player in a cutscene CG.
No, this is too supermodel, right?!
How does this allow players to play?
You can’t see it, you can’t hear it, you can’t touch it, at least you have to give the players some tips -
Pah, the blood bar popped out,
Player: “?”
Not only the health bar, but also the status bar popped up.
I was locked in a small dark room, but only the screen was turned off.
It seems to be able to move, but there is no VR entity feedback, but it should still be able to move.
The player fell into deep thought.
The player opens the backpack with his backhand.
Very good, you can open the backpack.
According to my memory...it should be here...
The people of Lihai Dazhong were sad the last second.
The next second, I looked at the younger student standing motionless on the court in surprise, and just when I was about to excitedly exclaim, "Did Kei succeed—"
In full view of everyone, Kei Yagi took out a bunch of bananas from the fourth-dimensional space from somewhere unknown.
A bunch of bananas.
“…”
Mushroom Head started eating bananas in silence.
And threw banana peels everywhere.
Yukimura Seiichi: "..."
Rikkai people: "..."
The referee hesitated to blow the whistle: "..."
Fate plays a trick on the greedy pig.
I thought the youngster had broken through in the middle of the battle and escaped from the encirclement, but now it seems... he is just hungry.
"...Want to blow the whistle?"
The referee said tremblingly,
Yukimura Seiichi opened his mouth to speak but stopped himself. Just as he was about to speak, a banana peel flew across his face and hit him on the head: "..."
He slowly said, "It's okay... He's hungry, let him eat a little longer..."
An unspeakable scene appeared.
On the left, Yukimura Seiichi is waiting with a tennis racket in hand, a banana peel flying from nowhere on his head.
In the middle, there was a random passerby referee who was frantically dodging the banana peel attack and jumping up and down on the referee chair with great agility.
On the right, there is a dead fish-eye mushroom eating bananas one by one and throwing away the banana peels.
The people at Rikkai who witnessed this scene didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, even if they said something, Mushroom Head couldn't hear it at all!
“…”
“…What a hell.”
“…Now, even if I ask Yagi-kun to stop eating, I can’t do it.”
Yagyu Hiroshi slowly adjusted his glasses, looked at the banana peel flying towards him, and then calmly stated.
Kirihara Akaya didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was a little scared looking at the banana peels that were gradually piling up.
He said with difficulty, "Kyu...you won't eat yourself to death, right?"
“…”
"After being deprived of the five senses, the theoretical feasibility is 89.7%." Liu slowly added,
"——Don't say it at a time like this!!!"
Marui Bunta was unable to shout,
Unlike the concerns of Rikkai people,
Everything - is under the players' control.
By taking in enough food, even though I don't know what kind of food it is, my physical strength has definitely increased.
The player keeps replenishing his stamina and then starts the next step!
Use WASD to move up, down, left, and right to judge the situation based on the status bar and the health bar of the dungeon BOSS that pops up on the opposite side, and attack more accurately!
So start moving now!
“…”
“………”
Silently watching the junior do a double jump and a front flip and land accurately on the referee's head on the referee's chair,
It even jumped down.
The poor passerby referee was like a chicken pecking at rice: "..."
Whether it was Yukimura Seiichi on the field or the Rikkai public players off the field, they all fell into an unspeakable silence.
If that's the case, that's fine.
I found that there was still some distance to the health bar of the special copy BOSS.
The player starts moving again.
This time, everyone at Rikkai watched helplessly as Mushroom Head wiggled his butt, legs, neck, and head like a weak, boneless caterpillar...
One "ji", two "ji", three "ji" climbed onto Yukimura, and climbed onto Yukimura's face,
Yukimura Seiichi: "..."
The Rikkai public in the audience: "..."
With great difficulty, Marui Bunta tried his best to remain calm and spoke.
"Well... Yukimura, how about you unlock his five senses..."
It's not that I care about the younger generation or anything like that,
Just for their eyes...
Their eyes... they also want to live for a few more decades...
After finally touching the health bar of the special copy BOSS, confirming its location, marking this point in the mind, the player continued to move.
At the corner of the court, the illusion was finally resolved, and Niou Masaharu, who had escaped while the 18-member coalition was momentarily relaxed, gasped.
Haha, you still want to keep him. The title of "the trickster on the court" is not in vain.
And, they had actually abandoned him so coldly. Let him see what these cold-blooded people in the tennis club are doing now—
Niou Masaharu walked around the corner,
Niou Masaharu raised his head.
The wire mesh surrounding the court was interspersed with banana peels.
That's all,
When I turned around again, I saw a familiar figure standing upside down with a racket held with his feet on the other side of the net!
“…”
Because of his gaze, it seemed that the figure also felt something was wrong.
Slowly turning himself around, he became——
Rest your chin on the racket!
Niou Masaharu: “…”
Or maybe you should go back.
From this perspective, being a minister... seems pretty good.
Ha ha.
