I rely on myself

Chapter 24 Victory in the first battle
Just when Shizuya Kirihara was looking forward to seeing Ikki injured, an accident happened.

The arrow that should have been silent and impossible to be detected was suddenly caught by Ikki. Ikki's action made the audience around him very confused. After all, in their opinion, Ikki just suddenly reached out and grabbed the air.

"As expected." Having said this, Ikki squeezed the arrow in his hand hard and broke it. As the arrow was broken, the invisibility was also lifted. The audience around him then realized that Ikki's previous action was not in vain, but he caught the arrow shot by Kirihara Shizuya.

"Incredible! What on earth is going on? Player Kuroiro actually caught the arrow shot by player Kirihara. How on earth did he do that?" the commentator shouted in disbelief.

This question is what Shizuya Kirihara wants to know. Looking at the broken arrow in Ikki's hand, Shizuya Kirihara said in disbelief: "It's impossible. You can catch my arrow. This is a coincidence. Yes, it must be a coincidence."

Faced with Kirihara Shizuya's suspicion, Ikki just threw away the arrow in his hand with a calm expression.

Shizuya Kirihara felt more and more flustered as he looked at Ikki's always calm expression.

"Damn it, Kurogane Ikki, you bastard, why don't you fall down? You are just a bastard. If you fall down, I will have honor, wealth and a good future. So go and die."

Thinking of this, Kirihara Shizuya began to quickly relocate his position, while continuing to attack Ikki with invisible arrows.

Unlike the positions he attacked before to torture Ikki, the arrows shot by Kirihara Shizuya now were all aimed at Ikki's vital points.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Ikki calmly used the sword in his hand to knock away the arrows. At the same time, Ikki finally took another step and moved towards a deserted place.

Unlike the doubts of the people in the audience, Lin Yuan and others were sure that Yihui had found the other party.

Tsukiyomi, who was in charge of the commentary, knew the location of Kirihara Shizuya through a special method, and understood that the direction Ikki was heading in was correct, but as a commentator, she could not favor one side.

"Oh, now Kurotate is moving again. Has he really found Kirihara's location, or is he just bluffing?"

"Of course we found it." Xijing Ningyin on the side said without hesitation: "It seems that Kurotsuchi has cracked Kirihara's ability by some unknown means. The evidence is on the arrows on the ground."

The audience who heard Xijing Ningyin's words noticed that all the arrows on the ground were separated from the arrowhead pairs.

Being able to do this means that Ikki really knows the position and direction of the arrow accurately, otherwise he would not be able to cut the arrow in half at the center of the arrow.

The students in the audience kept asking, "How on earth did they do that?" and "How is it possible..."

"It seems the winner has been decided, haha." Arisuin said with a smile.

"Well, a hunter who has lost his powerful weapon, invisibility, will certainly not be able to match the beast wielding a knife." Lin Yuan also expressed his opinion.

Stella retorted when she heard this: "Hey, Lin Yuan, your description of Ikki is not good. After all, he is a samurai with a sword."

Back on the ring, Shizuya Kirihara realized that Ikki really saw through him.

“Damn it, don’t come over here you ahhhhhhhh——!”

Kirihara Shizuya concentrated all his magic power on the "Obscure Moon" and wanted to make a final resistance. The sword-cutting skill "Million Rain".

The arrow, which contained all his magic power, was shot into the air, where it exploded and turned into hundreds of arrows of light, which rained down on the arena below, breaking the ground and shattering the flying stones.

But even with such intensive attacks, Ikki dodged them all one by one. Even if there were some attacks that could not be dodged, Ikki just lightly swung his sword and accurately broke them.

Seeing that his final attack, which he had high hopes for, was unable to stop Ikki, Shizuya Kirihara's mentality completely collapsed.

“Why, why can’t I hit you, stop, stop! Don’t come over here! Don’t come over here, don’t come over here, don’t come over here, don’t come over here, don’t come over here, don’t come over here, don’t come over here!! Didn’t you hear me when I told you not to come over here?! Liar, liar! How could I lose to an F-rank bastard! Unlike you, I’m the one that everyone wants! Unlike trash like you who has nothing, I have something to lose! How can someone like you beat me?! So don’t come over here!!!!”

Looking at Ikki's figure that was already very close, Kirihara Shizuya could no longer maintain his own personality.

"Hey, hey! Are you kidding me? Hey! Let's stop fighting! Let's stop fighting! No, that, is it a knife? It would be terrible if it cuts someone! This is too abnormal! Too weird! So let's stop fighting! Right, right! Let's play rock-paper-scissors!! This is better! Kurogane-san! Aren't we classmates in the past? We are friends, right!?"

Ikki had nothing to say to the opponent. He used the Yin Iron in his hand to knock the bow away from the opponent's hand and brought the opponent into his attack range.

Looking at Ikki who was so close to him and the knife in his hand, Kirihara Shizuya understood what would happen to him next and shouted in collapse: "Ah, Ah——————————! Stop, stop it ahhhh——————————!!!! I understand! I surrender! I surrender, please, I'm afraid of pain ahhhhhhhhh——————————!!!!"

A black light flashed, and Kirihara Shizuya fell to the ground, rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth, but there was no injury on his body.

It turned out that Ikki's knife didn't hit the opponent at all, but just grazed his body.

The reason why Kirihara Shizuya fainted was that he was too frightened and scared himself to death.

"Kirihara Shizuya is unable to fight, so the winner of this match is Kurogane Ikki." The referee gave the verdict on this match.

Yue Yejian also saw this and explained, "It's incredible. It's really incredible. Before the game started, probably no one would have thought that in this game with such a clear gap, since it was a Black Iron player who was an F-class knight who won, it's really incredible. What do you think, Mr. Xijing Ningyin?"

Yue Yejian said that I talked to Saikyo who was beside me, but——

There was no one in the commentary booth, only a note that read, "I am satisfied. Bye."

"I've had enough! Who will take my place in reporting the situation?"

In the audience, Lin Yuan and others also cheered for Yihui's victory.

"Ikki also won the victory successfully, so the celebration party will start tonight. Let's meet up with Ikki quickly and then go find a store." Stella said happily.

Lin Yuan was speechless when he saw this scene: "Excuse me, one of the players in the fifth game here happens to be me, so is my presence so weak?"
