Chapter 74: Update 1 + 2: Players' horseback appearances stun everyone! ...
The players were completely oblivious to the NPC's questions and were only focused on completing the settlement and receiving the rewards as quickly as possible.
What about the heart-to-heart service? No, no, no,
That is another price, you have to pay extra!
The black-haired boy turned around decisively without hesitation or even a trace of warmth, and his back caught the eyes of not only Fudomine, but also Hyotei standing beside the field.
After a long moment, only a prolonged and suppressed breath came out slowly.
Mukaito clenched his fists, his words stuck in his throat. After all, he had watched the scene after watching the Fudomine captain fight against the first-year students of Rikkai University.
A complete crushing defeat, undoubtedly one-sided.
It's reached a terrifying level.
This guy's strength... after just over a month of not seeing him, he's already reached this level...
Yuushi Ozuki adjusted his glasses and caught a glimpse of Jiro Akutagawa, who had been sleeping soundly, sitting up at some point, his eyes fixed on the back of Rikkai University as he left.
Atobe Keigo moved. He lowered the long finger that was pressing against his brow bone and chuckled softly twice. Without saying anything, he tilted his head slightly and said in a gorgeous tone, "This is really interesting, isn't it, Karachi?"
Takahiro Kabashi, who was carrying his basketball bag behind him, silently responded, "USU."
Hyotei's supervisor, Taro Sakaki, came over with the match list, "Atobe, the next match list is out, it's next week."
Atobe Keigo took it and glanced at it calmly. Oshitari Yuushi, who also saw it, paused.
My sight is fixed on the black words on the white paper. The huge name takes up the entire field of vision.
[Hyotei Academy vs. Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School, Court 11.]
"--Well, in that case, our next opponent is confirmed. It's Hyotei," Marui Bunta said, holding his head in his hands and carrying his tennis bag.
"I didn't expect to run into the teams from the four schools training so soon~"
Jack Sangyuan smiled helplessly: "Isn't this inevitable, Bunta? After all, we are in the same division."
"Hey hey - I know, I know~"
As Marui Bunta spoke, his eyes could not help but glance towards the center of the team.
With his back to them and just walking forward, Kei Yagi's expression was simple even after he won the game, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Niou Masaharu casually put his hand on the shoulder of Yagyu Hiroshi beside him and said, "The waves behind push the waves ahead. This time, Kei's closure was really quick and decisive. It seems that after tonight, many people will have to study all night long."
Thinking of that scene, Yagyu Hiroshi adjusted his glasses.
"Can we really thoroughly study Yagi-kun's abilities in just one week?"
"——Of course it goes without saying! Absolutely impossible!" Kirihara Akaya jumped up. "If you want to understand Kei, these guys are still too far away."
Kirihara Akaya turned around excitedly, "You're right, right - Kei...eh?"
He looked around blankly, pointed a finger at the place just beside him, and said hesitantly:
“…It’s gone.”
Everyone in Rikkai was almost used to Yagi Kei's elusiveness. They were silent for a while, and finally could only slowly sigh.
"Forget it...let him be."
The player has left the cutscene CG and turned around to jump all the way to the special copy BOSS Echizen Nanjiro [Samurai] Zhou Ben.
Now we have reached the difficulty level of [Samurai's Left Foot]. There are only one, two, three... six levels left before players can successfully complete this challenging weekly game!
Special weekly BOSS, players are coming!
As for the chill that Echizen Nanjiro felt on his back and the temple in Echizen's house being robbed again, that is a story for later.
But now, as the Rikkai people were left behind, the topic inevitably turned to the sentence that Tachibana pointed out when they were leaving.
"In this match, Yagi... did you show your true strength?"
Kei Yagi didn't say anything at the time, and no one in Rikkai University dared to interrupt.
But everyone knows the answer.
'No. '
Yagi Kei's true strength... No, not to mention his true strength,
The level he showed in this one game might not even reach his level of concentration and seriousness.
"...But, Kei...it's right not to take it too seriously, right?"
After enduring it again and again, Marui slowly said,
Facing the gazes of the Rikkai people who all turned their heads at his words, Marui rubbed his cheek and spoke in a low voice hesitantly.
"After all, you think... if that kid really gets serious, he's a complete human-shaped disaster."
"Human-human-shaped natural disaster?"
"Yeah," Marui Bunta folded his arms and nodded, "Or... do you want to see that guy raze the tennis court to the ground?"
Marui gave another example: "Or... the giant cauliflower murder case?"
"Or... the bomb maniac... and Kyu-woon?"
One item after another was reported, and for some reason, everyone's eyes went dark again and again.
“…”
“………”
Liu Lengjing pinched his brows and said, "It seems that we can't afford to pay for the renovation of Rikkai University."
"Then, what if we sell Rikkai University... and us..."
Silence, only silence.
Oops, all of a sudden, the guilt has increased dramatically!
Because they don't have enough money, they have to force their juniors to restrain themselves and not show their true strength...
But if we allow Yagi Kei to show his true strength, it would be quite terrifying...
If we compromise...
“…”
“…Get ready for the next game.”
The topic ends here.
Because I'm worried about the world being destroyed,
Of course, the main concern is that those who sold Rikkai University and Rikkai University may not be able to pay the compensation.
All of a sudden, the astronomical figures almost overwhelmed everyone.
Everyone is still a minor, but they have to take on huge loans too early.
Looks like I have to work hard to earn money...to prevent the tennis club from being razed to the ground!
Even though they won the game, a world where both sides were unhappy was achieved!
A week of training,
Each school tried to improve its own strength during this week and strive to stand out in the next game.
But time is limited, no matter how much we hope and wish for time to go slower,
The Kanto Tournament semi-finals arrived on time.
"Hyotei Academy vs. Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, Pitch 11. Players from both teams, please arrive and prepare as soon as possible—"
"Hyotei Academy vs. Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, Pitch 11. Players from both teams, please arrive and prepare as soon as possible—"
At the Kanto Tournament venue, the electronic female voice on the radio was clearly broadcast.
Many teams rushed to the 11th court after hearing the details. The battle between the 'Kanto Overlord' Rikkai University and the Tokyo seed team, Hyotei Academy, was not to be missed!
Seigakuen was naturally among them, as was Fudomine, who had lost to Rikkai University in last week's match. The entire team arrived at the competition venue with a subtle feeling.
Kamio Akira's expression couldn't be described as good-looking, nor could it be described as ugly.
After witnessing that guy's strength with his own eyes, a week of calmness and review prompted him to discover more subtle details.
That guy...never denied that he was not left-handed,
If he was left-handed, but fought Tachibana with his right hand the entire time, and didn't even use his full strength...
It's no longer a question of whether you take it seriously or not.
This guy... is just treating them as warm-up exercises!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Kamio Akira rushed to the front of the team and rushed into the crowd.
Seeing this, Ishida Tetsu looked at Tachibana in the middle with some helplessness. Tachibana Jiping smiled and shook his head, and he also looked towards the direction of the court.
"My third year is over, but it's Kamio and you guys who will be Yagi's rivals from now on."
Ibu Shinji looked at him quietly for a while, then opened his mouth to say something.
Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted him.
Frowning, he and the spectators beside the court looked at the scene together——
I don't know when, a road has been clearly separated from the crowd.
At the end of the avenue, a red carpet was pushed open and extended straight to the gate of the tennis court.
A figure,
Noble, elegant, gorgeous,
Atobe Keigo stepped onto the long red carpet like the most noble emperor, and walked towards them calmly and freely like a celebrity, facing everyone's gaze.
With a "whoosh", Kamio Akira, who was trying hard to squeeze into the front row, felt a tightness all over his body, and the people from Fudo Peak who had not yet been able to follow him in felt a tightness all over their bodies.
A bunch of people came out, and the common point was that they were all wearing Hyotei school uniforms.
They all raised their hands and clenched their fists in front of their chests, and looked straight at the only figure on the red carpet.
For some reason, a bad feeling came to me.
The perceptive people on Fudo Peak looked at each other, and inexplicably wanted to retreat.
But—it’s too late!
“—Three, two, one!”
"The winner is Hyotei!! The winner is Atobe!!"
"The winner is Hyotei!! The winner is Atobe!!"
The simultaneous shouts were like a tidal wave, and being in the crowd would have a more serious impact.
The effect of the club of over 200 people took effect at this moment. After two or three cycles,
Even the Fudomine people who were just hanging around were brainwashed by the devil and almost shouted out "The winner is Hyotei! The winner is Atobe!!"
This is not over yet. The Hyotei KING strides into the court with a magnificent step.
Atobe Keigo waved his arm!
With a loud bang, the Hyotei team jacket flew high up, almost blocking out the sun.
Under the shadow, Atobe Keigo raised his arm high, and touched his middle finger, index finger, and ring finger together.
“Crack!”
A clear and crisp snap of fingers,
The whole place was silent!!
"The winner is Hyotei! The winner is Atobe!" He completely stopped in just one second, what a terrifying control!
The players from both Fudomine and Seigaku stared silently at the figure with his arms raised high in the field.
Because of the sudden silence, even my normal breathing slowed down involuntarily.
Under the excessive silence, only a single voice with a light laugh and a gorgeous voice as smooth as velvet sounded.
"—Get ready to be mesmerized by my magnificent beauty!"
“…”
“………”
“So pretentious.”
Echizen Ryoma of Seigaku and Kamio Akira of Fudomine said this at the same time.
Looking back at the Rikkai Volkswagen players who entered the field normally, lined up normally, and put down their bags normally,
——It’s totally normal!!
“…”
Kirihara Akaya scratched his head, hesitantly glanced at his own ministers, vice ministers, and seniors, and spoke cautiously:
"Um...should we do this again?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he did, everyone suddenly recalled the past when they were dominated by the tennis club's emperor, Jibaimao.
A chill suddenly passed through everyone's heart. Marui Bunta and Jack Kuwahara immediately rushed over to cover the mouth of a young and outspoken seaweed-head.
"Shut up, Akaya! Don't let Keina hear this!!"
Yukimura, the only one who hadn't been manipulated by the King of Chicken, turned around and said, "...^^?"
Hey, everyone...did something happen without him knowing?
After saying this, Marui Bunta and Jack Kuwahara looked around nervously, making sure that the cat wouldn't hear them... Wait, where's the cat?!
Marui Kuwahara was shocked: "Why is Kei missing!?! Didn't he come in with us!?!!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Rikkai who had been able to remain calm in the face of Hyotei's high-profile appearance suddenly became more and more nervous.
"Lost again? When on earth did this kid lose it?!"
“—I don’t know, I don’t know!!”
Everyone quickly brainstormed and recalled the details along the way.
"When I left the school gate... I was there!" Marui quickly locked onto it.
Kirihara Akaya nodded frantically, "Kui was sitting next to me when we got on the bus!"
Jack Sangyuan took aim: "Where's the school bus?!"
"Somewhat—I even grabbed that guy and told him not to go through the trash can!" Niou Masaharu responded quickly.
"When we arrived near the tennis court, Yagi-kun was still in the team." Yagyu Hiroshi added,
Now only the three giants of Rikkai University remained silent.
Everyone looked at them expectantly.
Yukimura: "..."
Sanada: "..."
Yanagi: "It seems that Yagi separated from the team when entering the stadium."
“…”
“…”
"So what do we do now?"
"...Should we split up and look for him?"
The familiar scene was played out again, and everyone was almost used to it happening before every game.
Liu checked the time and said, "There are still five minutes until the game starts."
"That means we still have twenty minutes left—if we split up now, we might still…"
"Bang bang bang bang..."
"Wait, did you hear any crackling noises?"
Marui Bunta, who was nervously analyzing, asked doubtfully,
Everyone heard this and listened carefully.
“It seems that there is indeed…”
"But what's that sound? Why does it sound so strange..."
As everyone was talking, the sound of "bang bang bang bang" was gradually approaching.
Marui Bunta, whose nerves were stretched to the limit, raised his eyes angrily.
When he realized what he saw, he was shocked and his eyes were fixed.
The three giants, facing him and seeing his expression clearly, but with their backs to the back, didn't know what was happening: "?"
"What's wrong, Bunta?" Yukimura was puzzled. He looked around and saw everyone who looked up like Marui -
The flax was stunned.
The bad premonition suddenly reached its peak at this moment.
Of course, it came true.
Now, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a creature with high spirits, looking around, with shiny fur, running as fast as the wind.
A foal!
“…”
“………”
There is a mushroom head riding on the foal.
Noticing everyone's gazes towards him, he raised his right hand naturally and calmly.
"Yo."
“…”
“…I didn’t make it. I really didn’t make it.”
"Is he saying hello? Is he saying hello to us? Who on earth is he saying hello to?"
The desire to complain reached its peak, but looking at the scene before them, everyone couldn't think of anything else to say.
After all, they had only not seen each other for a few minutes, and Yagi Kei appeared in front of everyone riding a horse in a very hardcore manner.
——No, who on earth can stand this? ! !
Where did he get the horse? Did he rob it on the way?
Everyone in Rikkai was suddenly terrified.
The player suddenly remembered that he had successfully built a stable yesterday.
Now that players have mounts, what do they need legs for!
Mounts can increase movement speed!
Summon! Summon! Summon them all!
Mushroom Head with a horse flute made a stunning appearance, blinding the eyes of all the NPCs.
I don't know if my eyes were blinded, but this was the first time a contestant on horseback appeared in the Kanto Conference.
The staff didn't know what to do for a moment, and the problem was handed over to Rikkai University.
All the Rikkai University members, whose headaches had already reached the point where they no longer had any headaches, responded: "..."
Yukimura maintained his smile and could feel more gazes coming from all around him.
Hmm...what should I do?
While the NPC was silent, the player started to move.
Riding his beloved pony, the player glanced at the red carpet on the ground.
Player: “!”
Is this specially arranged for players?!
The game is so thoughtful!
The cat became happy.
Riding on a pony, he stepped onto the red carpet with a bang.
The Rikkai people who realized something and were about to extend their hands to stop him: "..."
Until I watched the horse's hooves stepping on the red carpet, I sighed softly.
"……well."
The player rode onto the red carpet, and a special effects play button suddenly popped up in the status bar.
Um?
What's this?
Touch it, touch it!
Click to start!
Unprepared, in an instant, everyone present was affected in some way and started moving at the same time.
The Rikkai public who had calmly entered the venue, calmly put down their golf bags, and calmly lined up were suddenly grabbed and rushed to both sides of the red carpet.
Rikkai University: “……?”
No, what the hell just happened???
Bewildered, but then something bigger came——
The moment the pony stepped onto the red carpet, it performed an imperial dance!
Raising its front hooves high, it is extremely arrogant and looks down upon the others.
At the same time, Yagi Kei stood up!
He grabbed the Rikkai University uniform jacket from his body, held it in his hand and spun it again and again.
He is just like a man who uses a lasso!
Everyone was so excited and passionate that they were inspired.
They all took off their team uniforms of different colors, and at this moment achieved harmony and spiritual resonance, and started waving together!
An innocent passerby was suddenly slapped several times in the face by a crowd of people at close range: "?"
But this is not the end,
They also felt a kind of attraction coming from somewhere——
This attraction prompted them to open their throats and make sounds from the bottom of their hearts.
"The winner—"
"——The winner is Yagi!! The winner is Rikkai University!!"
Atobe Keigo stood on the court with a gorgeous smile on his face and one arm raised: "..."
At this level...it should be considered as infringement.
The atomic problem has not been solved yet, but the players have arrived.
The player, riding a horse, came to Atobe.
One man, one horse, and one man,
The horses looked at each other, everyone looked at each other,
Atobe's lips curled up, "What an unglamorous entrance, I won't just—"
"Bang-da-da!"
The horse ran over,
There are also people standing on horses.
Only Atobe Keigo was left standing there with one arm raised and his eyes twitching.
It seems like an NPC was talking just now, not sure, never mind!
The player successfully rode the horse to the target point, and the special effect just finished playing.
Everyone woke up as if from a dream, looking around in confusion, only to find a pile of twisted jackets in their hands.
"Did something just happen?"
“I don’t know…I don’t know…”
The memory seems to be fragmented, but it also seems to be connected.
The Rikkai group was particularly affected. When they turned around, the younger generation who had been preparing to split up and search for them were already waiting in the waiting area on horseback...
No, why is this guy still riding a horse?!
The corner of Marui Bunta's mouth twitched: "Why do I have a bad feeling again..."
Jack Sangyuan said slowly: "Don't say it... Don't say it, Wen Tai..."
There is no point in trying to cover your ears and steal the bell, because the player has already appeared in front of you.
Finally, everyone managed to form a team, from Yukimura Seiichi at the head of the group to Sanada Genichirō, to Yanagi Renji and then to...
In the end,
It was Kei Yagi, riding a proud horse.
Don’t ask why it is proud. After all, the expression on the horse’s face is enough to tell it all.
Although the spectators on the sidelines tried their best to adjust their attention, the incident could not help but shift to the little pony on Rikkai who snorted proudly for most of the game.
"...We should be here to watch Hyotei vs. Rikkai University, right..."
“It seems so…”
"...Then why are you all looking at the horses now!!!"
The audience was devastated, Rikkai University was devastated, and Hyotei was also devastated.
Just the appearance was so eye-catching, and this time he even brought a horse.
Although, it is reasonable to suspect that this horse has other uses.
Although Rikkai University won't do that, Yagi Kei may not be able to do that.
"...What's the use?" Xiangri Taketo was bewildered.
Oshitari Yuushi slowly pushed up his glasses and said, "For example, using a horse to serve."
Xiang Riyueren: "..."
Yuushi Oshitari paused, "Or, use a tennis racket to send horses."
“…”
“………”
Oshitari nodded: "In fact, if two people, one at the head of the horse and the other at the tail, could possibly fight."
Taketo Mukaihi turned his head, his expression a little serious, "I think Yushi might not be normal here either."
Oshitari Yuushi tried to argue for himself: "Don't you think that with Yagi Keina's character, he is completely capable of doing such a thing?"
“…”
"It seems so."
Xiangri Taketo said again,
"But that doesn't prevent me from thinking that something is not right here."
Yuushi Ozuki's humor was not accepted by Hyotei after all. He could only push up his glasses and stare at Rikkai for most of the game, feeling half melancholy and half helpless.
Similarly, Rikkai was caught in a negotiation crisis for most of the game.
Yagi Kei stood on his horse, and everyone else stood on the ground.
Although their eyes were roughly level, everyone still felt a little lower than him to some extent.
After thinking about it, it may be that they are all human beings, and the ones on Yagi Kei's side are Maga.
The two teams arrived and the staff saw this and were about to announce the start of the game.
The pop-up window shows that the game has officially started and entered the matching.
The player's teammates appear!
The player's opponent appears!
[…loading…matching…]

The referee blew the whistle and raised his arm to signal both players to enter the court——
In full view of the public,
Everyone is waiting,
Everyone is looking forward to more,
Singles two,
[Ding!]
The sound of a sixteen-sided dice falling to the ground,
[Your battle order is——]
【Singles 2! 】
The player picked up the falling polyhedral dice and slowly threw it into his backpack.
Your opponent is——
A bell rang,
Pop-up window vibration,
【Atobe Keigo】
The dazed black-haired boy tilted his head slightly as if sensing something.
Sharp cutting surface, solemn, vigilant, and defensive,
Coming from afar,
It was Keigo Atobe's gaze.
