However, the world is so small, and things happen so coincidentally. Right across from Kanon and Kid, in the same game, the two girls had just finished the game and walked out of the game's barrier. Who else could it be but Uehara Ayaka and Sakura Hibiki?
"Hibiki! Ayaka!" Hana exclaimed in shock, calling out her friend's name.
"Ha, it's Kanon!" Ayaka was in high spirits and rushed over to grab Kanon's hand upon seeing her: "What a coincidence to see you here."
"Yeah, I didn't even notice you guys were on the other side. You guys were playing games the whole time, and it took you quite a while to finish the game~"
Ayaka scratched her head and said, "There's a reason we're progressing slowly. Although I finally managed to get the highest score in the game's history, Hibiki..."
"Ugh, why am I so bad at shooting games?!" Hibiki Sakura, a high school girl who loves video games, is very good at fighting games and has incredible luck in pachinko, but shooting games are her lifelong Achilles' heel. Just now, she kept missing her shots and dying, which seriously slowed down Ayaka's progress.
Seeing the sound of her pounding her head on the ground, Hana felt a little sorry for her: "Well, I believe that as long as you play and practice more, your grades will definitely improve!"
"Ah, that's impossible~" Ayaka waved her hand dismissively, denying Kanon's comforting words. As Hibiki's best friend, it's true that those who love you most are also the ones who hurt you the deepest...
“Shooting requires extremely fast reflexes and dynamic vision, both of which are Xiang’s weaknesses. Don’t be fooled by her superhuman strength; her motor skills are not perfect.”
Well, that explains why Kanon performed well in her first shooting game after transmigrating, and why she improved so quickly during the game. With her exceptional talent, her reflexes and dynamic vision are indeed top-notch.
Do you think Kanon has any other "top-tier" skills? Well, that's definitely... comforting people.
"It's okay, right? Reflexes and dynamic vision should be able to be improved through exercise, right?"
At this moment, Kidd spoke up: "That's right, both of these can be improved through hard work. Practicing baseball and tennis more often will be very helpful."
“Hey, you know a lot of things~” Ayaka praised Kid: “I’ve been practicing boxing since I was a kid. To dodge jabs, I’ve relied on baseball to improve my dynamic vision a lot!”
"R-Really?" Hibiki wasn't new to being frustrated by shooting games, and upon hearing that baseball could improve dynamic vision, she immediately grabbed Ayaka: "There's an indoor baseball field not far from here, let's go practice! Kanon can come along too!"
You need to take good care of your eyesight! .jpg
"Well, I just came to play games for a while after school, I can't stay out too late to go home..." Hanon has been behaving very well lately, which is considered to be keeping her promise to her uncle. Takakaze Kiriji is also very satisfied and is super happy every day. If nothing unexpected happens, Hanon doesn't plan to ruin this situation.
Ayaka gently nudged Kanon: "Let's go take a look together, Kanon~ Although Hibiki's terrible dynamic vision probably means she can't hit the ball well, with her monstrous strength that can smash a sandbag with one punch, wouldn't it be interesting to see how she actually hits the baseball?"
"Hey, it really is!" Now Kanon can easily smash a sandbag, and her strength is no weaker than Hibiki's. However, Kanon's strength is controlled at will, while Hibiki's monstrous strength is wild and completely uncontrollable. After Ayaka said this, Kanon's curiosity was also aroused: "Then... let's go take a look?"
However, at this moment, another familiar voice came from Hana. How to describe it? It was a female student's voice that sounded particularly dirty.
"Hey, I finally got to first place, how did I suddenly drop to third?"
That's... Chio?
Section 349, Chapter 344: Attempting to bully the weak but getting bullied instead.
The wind wasn't howling today, but acquaintances kept arriving like the wind. This little arcade felt like a gathering of stars, a place where one or two of them were people Kanon knew...
"Oh, it's Ms. Kanon." Chio's attention wasn't on Kanon, but on Kid and Ayaka: "You're the ones who broke my record?"
"Your record?" Ayaka glanced at the game console screen and exclaimed in realization, "You're that 'Masked Assassin'? Your highest score in 'Man of Death' held for a long time; you're a highly respected master in the industry!"
Chio, being a gamer, is quite skilled. Kanon had just played that game too, and being able to score over 9,000 points is truly remarkable. It's no wonder she has such strong athletic abilities; she doesn't lack the reaction speed and dynamic vision required for shooting.
"However, my record was still broken today, and by two people at the same time." Once it comes to games, Chio is no longer socially awkward; instead, she becomes fiery and extremely irritable: "Hmph, how about we play again and see who's better?"
Everyone looked at each other, a little embarrassed. Kidd shrugged first: "This is too much trouble. I give up. You can challenge the number one."
Ayaka waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I don't want to compete so seriously either!"
"Damn it, are you guys looking down on me?" Chio's temper flared up, and she grabbed Kid, who seemed to be "looking down on people even more," and shoved a gun at him: "Let's start with you, let's get into the game."
"Oh dear, this is really... I'm so sorry." Kidd lifted his cowboy hat, took the pistol, and then his whole demeanor changed.
Occasionally admitting fault verbally is nothing, but the bloodline and dignity of a shooting family make Kidd, no matter how rebellious, a superb marksman once he picks up a gun, shooting fast and accurately, showing no mercy.
"Bang bang bang..." Gunshots rang out in the arcade. Chio couldn't score any points against Kid, and almost every enemy that came into view was taken away by Kid's finishing shots.
Miho nudged Kanon: "Where did you meet this kind of friend? Wow, amazing shooting skills! Are you two on a date?"
"No, don't slander someone's innocence out of thin air." Hanon quickly denied it, but she couldn't say that she liked women, that would be too much of an 18+ thing for Ayaka, who was still a high school student. So Hanon's panic made Ayaka "understand".
"Hehe, I know, it's still a trial period~ You're still friends, right?"
Looking at Ayaka's ambiguous smile, Kanon felt powerless: "No, you're completely wrong."
What are high school students thinking all day long?! Well, it seems Kanon isn't even qualified to ask that question. Her experiences with time travel, lesbianism, business development, and underground fighting aren't things high school students should be thinking about…
Kidd had already played the game once before and was quite familiar with it. Now, he was competing against Chio, a skilled player, and the mutual stimulation helped him get into the zone, and he quickly beat the game.
"Twelve thousand points!" Qianxu collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. "You, you..."
Kidd sensed that Chio's mood was off, so he quickly put down the prop gun, turned around and ran: "I told you that things going too smoothly is not a good thing. Well, it was nice to meet all the beautiful ladies, but I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."
"Ah, that person got away." Ayaka said, "It's getting late, let's go home. We can play baseball another time." With that, she hurriedly left.
The arcade, which had been bustling just moments before, was now empty except for Kanon and Chio. Chio, finally snapping out of her daze, yelled, "Damn it! This is cheating! I don't believe it!"
Poor little Chio, her good mood for the whole day was ruined because she was crushed in the game.
What could Hanon do? She was desperate too! All she could do was comfort Chio: "That person is a very special shooting genius, it's normal to lose to him. How about I go with you to the nearby park to clear your head?"
"To clear my head?" Chio raised her lifeless eyes and looked at Hanon, then suddenly had an idea: "That's right, there are always kids playing with water guns in the nearby park, why not go find them to beat up some weaklings and cheer myself up?"
Thinking of this, Chio instantly felt full of energy again—but the "energy" here seemed more like "killing intent," and Kanon almost felt like she was back in the elimination tournament... Anyway, Chio, filled with killing intent, strode out of the arcade and headed straight for the park.
It was getting dark, and kind-hearted Kanon had no choice but to follow Chio in case anything happened. But before that… Kid had fled in such a hurry, and Chio was still reeling from the shock. The game record of 12,000 points was still waiting to be entered into the player's name. Kanon filled in her name before leaving, confident that this record would remain on the arcade's wall for a very, very long time! Plan succeeded~
After chasing her out of the arcade, Chio had already strode into the park. By the time Kanon found her, the girl had become the leader of the kids in the area in just a few minutes, and was leading two or three elementary school students to buy water guns, preparing for a live-action CS game!
"Hey! Chio, my first impression of you is that you're socially awkward!" Kanon raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. She never expected that Chio-chan, who always seemed harmless, was someone she needed to roast.
We can only look on the bright side; at least Chio's mood will improve after beating up a few elementary school kids...
Next, Kanon climbed up a big tree in the park and sat on the trunk watching Chio dominate the weaker students. This girl had previously suggested that the elementary school students use their allowances to buy weapons, so the high school students' financial situation was naturally much better than the elementary school students'. Therefore, the water guns were expensive, submachine gun-style, and extremely effective.
"Naive!" Chio shouted from behind the bushes at the elementary school student who was trying to sneak up on her. "Trying to get behind me? No way!"
Watching the elementary school students scramble away with their heads in their hands, Chio's mood successfully brightened, and she even laughed out loud: "This is even more enjoyable than I imagined! Hehehehe~"
"What an exhilarating feeling!" Chio, practically losing her human form with elation, exclaimed. "This overwhelming sense of omnipotence is like a god unleashing a flood upon foolish humans! Cunning? Forget about it! I'm not just cheating, I'm cheating to the point of being incredibly powerful!"
Sigh, she has completely forgotten that her bad mood is because she has encountered a truly "superhumanly powerful" opponent.
However, is it really that simple? Of course not—you can underestimate a primary school student's allowance, but don't underestimate their intelligence!
After being brutally beaten twice, the elementary school students, having learned their lesson, decided to buy a bucket of water balloons from the supermarket and throw them at Chio like grenades...
"You...you guys are so despicable!" Qianxu roared.
"No, we just bought the equipment we could afford, just like you." Several elementary school students used Chio's rules to refute Chio, leaving her speechless. She had perfectly shot herself in the foot.
Water balloons are cheap, plentiful, and have a wide attack range. Chio was quickly soaked, and this wet JK (high school girl) wasn't sexy at all; she looked more like a drowned rat...
Instead of dominating the weaker opponents, Chio ended up being dominated herself. When she emerged from the bushes, her eyes were lifeless.
"Oh dear, this is really..." Hanon, who witnessed the whole thing from the tree, was speechless, indicating that there was probably no way to remedy Chio's intelligence.
"Haha, isn't that great?" At this moment, there was a deck chair under the big tree where Hana was sitting. A disheveled middle-aged man, who was not young, sat up from the deck chair. He had also watched the whole process of Chio and the elementary school student playing paintball.
"Adapting to circumstances and local conditions—that's the essence of all martial arts!"
Author's Note: Sorry for being a few minutes late, I was quite busy during the Spring Festival (actually, I got lazy, haha). The park warrior is here!
Section 350, Chapter 345: The Main Storehouse
"He seems pretty impressive..." Hanon jumped down from the tree, landed lightly, and then looked at the man in front of her.
This man was quite old, with a full beard, disheveled hair, a unkempt appearance, and a slovenly demeanor. He was holding a cigarette in one hand, and all that was missing was a bottle of beer to complete the classic image of a middle-aged man... the kind of loser.
However, after encountering many different fighters, Hanon's intuition about strong individuals had become quite sharp. This uncle did not deliberately hide his strength, and in Hanon's eyes, he was like a famous sword sheathed in its sheath, not to be underestimated.
"Who are you?" Hana asked.
The middle-aged man smiled gently: "I am Honbu Izo, the instructor of Honbu-ryu Practical Jujutsu. I am just a martial artist."
"Oh, it's an honor to meet you." Since this person's friend or foe was unclear, Hana could only offer some perfunctory words: "Uncle, is there something you need?"
"Well, there is something..." After saying this, the "famous sword" was drawn, and his aura surged, as if he was about to attack! Hanon quickly retreated, creating enough buffer distance, but the killing intent of the headman flashed and disappeared, and his fighting spirit quickly subsided, almost making Hanon think that she was imagining things.
The headquarters staff laughed: "Why don't we go for a drink and chat?"
Not long after, after secretly watching Chio dragging her wet clothes and dejectedly walking home, Kanon and Honbu also strolled out of the park and found a coffee shop to sit down.
"When I said 'have a drink,' I actually meant a bar or a restaurant." As a disheveled man nearing fifty, Benbu is more suited to noisy bars, solemn dojos, all-encompassing parks, and elegant traditional courtyards. Suddenly sitting in a Western-style, elegant coffee shop seems a bit out of place.
But Kanon pointed to herself, who was wearing the uniform of Deimon High School: "I'm only seventeen."
In Japan, people are considered adults at the age of twenty and are legally allowed to drink alcohol. In recent years, the coming-of-age ceremony was moved to the age of eighteen. Regardless of which rule is followed, Kanon is definitely a minor and cannot drink alcohol.
Realizing this, the headquarters awkwardly scratched his cheek: "I was presumptuous." He took a sip of strong coffee and said, "Ye Huayin, you are very peculiar, very mature, not at all like a young person. I am almost fifty years old, but when I am face to face with you, I do not feel any sense of incongruity. This cannot be explained by being a fellow martial artist."
"You didn't come to me just to talk about this, did you?" Hanon's reply was still concise.
"Haha, you're quite impatient, which is typical of a young man." The commander nodded. "I was just feeling a bit sentimental, which is why I've been rambling on. It's truly a blessing for the martial arts world that so many young talents like you can emerge in the same era. I'm very moved."
Hanon raised an eyebrow: "Hmm? Multiple?" Very good, finally some useful information was revealed in the headquarters' words.
"As far as I know, there is a boy about your age who has performed no less than you." The head of the unit gently shook his coffee cup, and the coffee inside slowly swirled, forming a shape similar to a yin-yang symbol, subtly contrasting with itself. "His name is Baki Hanma, and he is the champion of the Tokyo Dome Underground Arena."
Okay, there's more and more information. Kanon nodded: "So there's an arena underground at Tokyo Dome..."
Then the headquarters continued, "You are the new king of the Kengan Association. You swept the Death Elimination Tournament nearly three months ago. This performance is really amazing! However, the Kengan Association is only the number one in the underground fighting world, not the only one. Just dominating the Kengan Association does not make you the 'strongest' in the true sense."
"Of course I know that." Hanon frowned again. She might not have surpassed Kuroki Gensai yet, and she was certainly aware of the saying that there are always people stronger than you. Judging from the headquarters' tone, it seemed they were trying to get her to fight Baki?
Hanon felt a little excited but also a little worried. The image of Kirito Takakaze's stern face immediately popped into her mind. She had finally put her uncle at ease for a while, and it wouldn't be good for him to go out and fight again.
