"Kid, I'm going to break your limbs and throw you out on the street (censored)."
The referee ignored his outrageous remarks.
Are both sides ready?
"sure (of course)."
Unlike Thomas, who was jumping around in place, seemingly eager to try, Yato simply let out a "hmm" through his nose. To the other fighters, it was one thing to be wearing a school uniform and leather shoes, but to not even warm up, as if he were just standing there waiting to be attacked, was incredibly amateurish.
However, not everyone thinks that way.
"This guy is not simple...!"
Ren Nikaido's expression was solemn.
He practices the Japanese martial art "Tenrouken," which is believed to have been lost for a long time. He is more worthy of being called a "martial artist" than a fighter.
That's why he was able to understand the 'strangeness' in Yato.
Other fighters with sufficient strength can also sense it.
For example, Gin Dojima and Toshio Ozu.
But even they couldn't possibly understand what this meant...
"His aura is completely concealed, his pores are barely visible, and his skin is as smooth as jade... There's no mistake, this guy has reached the level of martial arts where he can lock in his vital energy and prevent it from leaking out. His natural body posture is also extremely refined, clearly showing that he has thoroughly ingrained his kung fu into his very bones..."
"Although I don't know what kind of ancient martial art it is practicing, its skill level is undoubtedly higher than mine, by a significant margin. I would probably have a hard time winning against it in a normal fight. If I want to win, I can only let someone else fight first, and only when they can no longer hold back their sweat and start sweating can I step in."
After reaching this conclusion, Ren Nikaido was very unhappy.
When did the dignified leader of the Sirius clan fall so low as to have to scavenge other people's leftovers?
However, he didn't have any other good solutions.
Why did so many martial artists in the past pursue the highest level of martial arts?
It's because reaching that level will bring about earth-shattering changes for oneself.
The young players on the field today are the 'beneficiaries'.
By shrinking the pores to nothing, you won't sweat. Without sweating, the body's heat will accumulate, greatly delaying the depletion of physical strength. Before this heat can be contained and released, no matter how you fight, even if you are seriously injured, you can unleash a fighting power no less than your peak.
Although it may only last for a very short time, it is already terrifying enough.
The competition mechanism that Imperial University painstakingly devised seems tailor-made for this kind of person.
"Did you find it, Hayasaka?"
Kaguya gazed at the two people in the center of the hall.
The maid sitting next to her was holding a mobile phone and was investigating the contestants one by one through the Shinomiya family's intelligence channels.
"Yes, I found it."
In response to Kaguya's question, she quickly read out the information displayed on the screen.
"Thomas X, 35 years old, Mexican, specializes in kickboxing and capoeira. He is the star of Mexico's largest underground fighting group. It is said that he has won 57 consecutive matches, with an average match time of 46 seconds."
"While I'm reluctant to praise that kind of person, there's no doubt that she's a formidable opponent, Lady Kaguya..."
boom!
Hayasaka Ai had just finished speaking.
Accompanied by the referee's downward chopping gesture.
The battle was decided in the next second.
Chapter 97
The sound was like thunder.
In fact, the speed at which the winner was decided was as fast as lightning.
"...?!"
The last syllable of 'begin' still seemed to linger in my mind.
The referee stiffly turned his head to look at the other end of the hall.
That's right in front of Yato.
For Thomas X, that was behind the scenes.
The black man who had just been swaggering around was now lying in the audience like a lump of mud.
Many chairs and other items were smashed, and the rubble, like gravel, buried most of his body.
Fiasco.
An indisputable crushing defeat.
But more shocking than Thomas X’s crushing defeat was the way the game ended.
How much force does it take to send someone flying dozens of meters away with a single blow?
It wasn't until the referee scrambled over to check on Thomas X's condition and then shouted for the staff to bring over a stretcher that they finally snapped out of their daze and looked at the only young man still standing in the arena with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.
In contrast to Thomas, who looked like all his bones were broken.
Yato not only appeared to be completely unharmed, but also gave the impression that he hadn't even made a move.
Many fighters noticed that his stance was exactly the same as before the start.
"what happened?!"
Kaguya's eyes widened.
"Even if you ask me... I was just looking up information."
But that's what they say.
Hayasaka Aiya looked surprised.
"...What kind of joke is this?"
On the other side of the audience, Shion Kanade dropped the cigarette she was holding on the ground but didn't pay it any mind. Her beautiful eyes scanned back and forth between Thomas and Yato, and finally settled on the latter.
"Yato Igarashi... I remember now."
Ozu Toshio said slowly.
"That person fought Nogi's Hatsumi Izumi a while ago. I heard that was his Kengan debut match."
"spring?"
Zou Ryuin Shion was suddenly startled.
First meeting with Izumi was her ex-boyfriend.
However, they never contacted each other again after the breakup, and he only knew that the other party was currently working for the Nogi Group.
That being said, Izumi's strength is far greater than most people know.
"Have these two fought? Why don't I know?"
"I'm sorry, Chairman, I meant to tell you, but I forgot because of something else," said Secretary Matsuda Tomoko weakly.
"I don't care, I just want to know who won between these two guys?"
Zou Ryuin Shion frowned, her tone urgent.
"It's Igarashi Yato."
Toshio Ozu answered first.
Like most people, he stared intently at Yato on the field with a serious expression.
"That guy beat 'Floating Cloud' into the hospital, and his injuries are said to be quite serious. He also attended the banquet hosted by Nogi that day... At least that's all I know."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Shion of Soryuin suddenly said:
"Tomoko."
"Yes! What are your orders, Chairman?"
Matsuda Tomoko responded cautiously.
She was terrified that this mistake would anger Shion Kanadein and cause her to lose the job she had just gotten.
"Is it possible to bring that person to our side?"
Soryuin Shion pointed at Yato on the field and asked.
"Um...Chairman, he's participating in RU7's assessment now. Unless he fails, we have no chance," Matsuda Tomoko said, on the verge of tears.
"Tch, so they really did fire you after all."
"Chairman!"
"If you don't want to get fired, you'd better think of a way to poach them. Oh, and how about sacrificing your looks? Aren't you the one who likes handsome guys the most?"
While the top leader of the Royal Sakura Girls' Academy team was taking his anger out on his secretary.
Yato cracked his neck and looked at the referee, asking:
"I haven't broken any rules, have I?"
"...Although Thomas is seriously injured, he is not dead yet. As long as he does not die on the spot, it is not considered a violation."
The referee hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Oh open?
Yato raised an eyebrow.
Sure enough, he was right.
It is not permissible to cause death on the spot, but it is a different matter if the person cannot be saved after the match.
"I also need to reflect on my actions. I actually kicked him directly. Normally, I should have given him some room to maneuver. Fortunately, no one was killed, which is truly a cause for celebration."
Yato wore a cheerful smile, but to others it appeared dangerous. He then turned and glanced at the audience, or more precisely, at the group of fighter candidates.
"I've been standing here for half a minute. If I don't go up soon, I'll have to consider sitting down and resting."
Many of the hot-tempered fighting candidates looked grim, but none of them dared to stand up and respond to Yato's provocation.
Just as Yato and Gin Dojima had said before the match.
Defeating your opponent with overwhelming force will make other challengers hesitant to act.
In their view, if they went up without being confident, they would undoubtedly be paving the way for those who came later.
"How about you all come at me together?"
Yato shrugged.
This statement is more than ten times more provocative than the previous one.
Finally, one of the fighters couldn't hold back any longer.
"Kid, you think you can scare me?"
A burly man with an oddly proportioned build stood up.
With a simple press of his hands against the back of the chair in front of him, his massive body bounced up like a ball dropped to the ground. He then placed his feet on the chair back and, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, easily crossed the audience seats to stand in front of Yato.
Upon meeting him, Yato realized that this was yet another guy much taller and bigger than himself.
Physically, he is also a child.
It is arguably the largest opponent it has ever encountered.
But it's only 'huge'.
Seeing that Yato only showed surprise for a moment before calming down, the man sneered, "Still trying to appear calm? If I'm not mistaken, your legs should be immobile by now, right?"
"Oh? Why did you say that?"
Yato asked in surprise.
