National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

Artoria got up from the beach chair and walked towards the other side of the beach.

--------

the other side

"Wait, wait! Stop arguing!"

Wu Yue interrupted the heated conversation between Ailiya and Shio Mu Ai.

He scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Um... the two teams might be a bit mismatched... how about... how about we play poker to decide the winner? Ahahaha... ahahaha..."

Wu Yue, adhering to the principle of avoiding making a big fuss if possible, spoke up.

The current situation is very special. After Aria and Shiogure Ai will definitely not hold back when they finish playing volleyball.

That kind of

—Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

—Bang bang bang—

The terrifying volleyball is beyond the reach of normal people like Vermouth Ge Lixiang, so naturally he cannot participate.

Of those present, only Wu Yue, Chao Mu Ai, Ailiya, and Ilya were not ordinary people.

However, Ilya's physical condition is too low, so only 3 people are left, which is an imbalance in numbers.

Just as Shiomu Ai was about to say something, she suddenly saw someone and smiled.

"What? Doesn't this make the numbers equal? ​​Hey! Artoria!"

Wu Yue froze, trembling as he turned his head to follow Artoria's gaze.

Sure enough, Artoria blushed slightly, smiled wryly, and waved as she walked over.

She quickly walked over, smiled politely at Chao Mu Ai, then walked up to Wu Yue, took a deep breath, and looked serious.

"I'm sorry, Wu Yue. I did that kind of thing."

Wu Yue stared at her for a long time before realizing why Artoria was apologizing.

"Ah...ah~ that thing, it's nothing, it's nothing. I even survived the global live gender-swap broadcast. It's just being done that kind of thing in front of hundreds of people on the beach, it's okay, haha~"

But Artoria was somewhat angry when she heard this answer.

“These are two different things, Wu Yue. It was entirely my personal fault that made you look bad. You should…”

"Artoria."

However, Ai Shio interrupted Artoria.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but it's probably one of those awkward topics. Let's talk about those embarrassing apologies later. It's better to go back and talk about it later..."

As she spoke, Shio Mu Ai shook the volleyball in her hand and smiled.

Soon, Vermouth, Ge Lixiang, Illya, and Eriri arrived at the safe zone outside the volleyball area.

Only Wu Yue, Artoria, Shio Mu Ai, and Aria remained.

Wu Yue and Chao Mu Ai are in one group, while Artoria and Aria are in another.

Aria and Ai Shiogure looked into each other's eyes, their azure blue and watery red mingling together...

Wu Yue looked somewhat nervous. She knew what was going to happen next. The unseen tension triggered her intuition, and the ahoge on her head kept shaking.

Artoria, however, looked puzzled. The ahoge (cowlick) on her head kept swaying, her intuition was triggered, and she even sensed a hint of war...

Strange? Isn't this a beach? Why do I feel like I'm on a dangerous battlefield, fighting the enemy?

For a moment, I didn't quite understand what was going on, so I looked left and right.

Almost everyone near the beach was drawn by the pungent smell of gunpowder, and all eyes were on this spot.

Some people sat down to watch the show, some took out their phones to take pictures like crazy, and some shouted encouragement.

There were even fights that started for reasons unknown.

A gentle breeze blew by...

The crowd gradually quieted down... and somehow... they sensed that something was about to begin...

at this time.

Ge Lixiang raised the whistle he had just bought to his lips.

"—Chirp—"

"start!"

Just finished speaking!

Shiogure Ai tossed the volleyball high into the air! At the same time, she pushed off with her legs and soared into the air!

Arya stared intently at Shio Murasaki in the air! A clock appeared in her azure eyes!

—Click—

With the soft sound of a clock hand turning, Ai Shio's body visibly slowed down.

Artoria was startled and turned to look at Arya.

Huh? What's going on? Is this cheating?

Arya was about to turn her head to look at Wu Yue's position, but it was too late!

All I saw was the moment Wu Yue jumped!

And a volleyball flew quickly toward her into an open area!

There is a 0.5-second gap when Aria's usage time slows down!

not good!

"Artori..."

Before Artoria could even understand what was happening, she felt something fly past her ear!

The frictional airflow generated by the high speed even blew up his golden bangs!

--Bang!--

Accompanied by a huge noise!

The volleyball landed right next to Artoria in the corner! It sent up a huge spray of sand 3 meters high!

"Nice! First point!"

Arya's time slowing effect ended, and Shiogure Ai landed on the beach, regaining her balance.

"pretty!"

"Of course!"

The two high-fived in celebration!

Among the people around, some of the newcomers were completely bewildered.

"Fuck..."

"Holy crap... amazing... what kind of volleyball is this? It doesn't explode?"

"It's just a volleyball game... Is it really necessary to make such a fuss... Use your real skills..."

"Damn, Wu Yue is such a scumbag. He keeps saying 'don't fight, don't fight,' but when it comes down to it, he uses so much force. And he calls himself nice."

"Go, go, go! Go, Wu Yue's wife! I support you!"

Wu Yue slowly closed his eyes to suppress his anger, deliberately ignoring the people in the crowd who were cheering him on.

Artoria understood the situation, looked at Wu Yue and Chao Mu Ai, raised an eyebrow, and then glanced at the scoreboard on the other side...

He gritted his teeth, and his expression turned serious...

Arya and Artoria discussed it, and Wu Yue also discussed it with Shio Mu Ai.

The competition then adopted a new set of rules, disallowing cheating techniques such as slowing down time and only allowing players to use their own physical abilities in volleyball matches.

Soon, the game started again.

 … 2.0

Wu Yue leaped to the left!

--Bang!--

The volleyball landed in the sand, sending up a spray of sand more than 4 meters high!
