The person behind the source material is naturally the fighter who rules the Kengan Association, the Fang of Destroyer.
Kana Aya's expression was blank, her tone cold, and her words were direct and to the point: "Aguya Kiyoaki will win."
"Oh?" The certainty of the answer surprised even Pianyuan Miedang: "Are you so sure?" After saying that, he seemed to remember something and nodded: "Well, I heard from Yingshan and Wang Sen that after the first round of the competition, Tokita Ohma challenged you and was instantly killed."
Oh wow, if Kanon heard about this, she would definitely complain. This Tokita Ohma usually looks so dull, but he's actually so wild.
Gana remained expressionless. Since the fighter he had instantly defeated was someone he didn't care much about.
"Yes, sir, I kicked him away with just one kick. Although he didn't lose consciousness, he was almost unable to fight anymore... Tokita Ohma is very weak."
Ghana's thoughts were still on the first match of the second round.
To be honest, Zero Mikage's speed is indeed the fastest among fighters, and it's even hard to say whether there are any other fighters in the world who can match his speed. If Kano Awatake were to face Mikage's incredible speed, he would probably have a tough time! Of course, Kano Awatake is confident that he can win, but whether he can do it as easily and effortlessly as Flavor Sander, almost without taking any damage, is another matter entirely...
"Flavor Sander is a truly remarkable warrior, but it's a pity that the competition zones are too far apart, and with Kuroki Gensai in the upper bracket, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet in this competition." Masters always respect each other, and Gana sighed silently, "I really hope we'll have the opportunity to fight each other."
Kano was so focused on Kanon's trumpet that he ignored the battle on the field. In reality, Kiyoaki Aguya had already started fighting Tokita Ohma.
When Kano Awa started paying attention to the battle, he immediately noticed that Tokita Ohma was not in a good condition!
At first, Akoya adopted his familiar defensive stance, raising his "big shield" to prepare to withstand Tokita's attacks. Ohma, without holding back, used all the attack methods he knew, raining down heavy punches and kicks with unpredictable trajectories on Akoya. The combined force of these punches and kicks was... very heavy.
"Hiyama, speed up the analysis!" Aguya immediately gave Hiyama Shunka the order. The Tokita's attacks were extremely fierce, and he realized that if he only defended, he would soon fall into a disadvantageous position.
"Yes!" The Tokita punch was heavy, and Akoya's defense was not guaranteed to be completely secure. Hiyama could see this as well. Of course, he had to do his best to analyze Ohma for his lover. However, the more anxious he was, the less accurate he became. Hiyama was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "Damn it, his pace is getting faster and faster! Akoya, I, I need time... at least two minutes."
Aguya still had some sense and didn't complain about the time limit: "Okay, two minutes, accept the mission."
Suddenly, Akoya, who had been solely on the defensive, changed his tactics. He used both hands to grab Tokita Ohma's arms, and simultaneously squeezed Ohma's muscles with his fingers, just as he had done to Imai's arms in the previous round.
However, Ohma was no pushover. Before Akoya's power could penetrate much, Tokita Ohma raised his foot and kicked straight at Akoya's... testicles.
"What?" Aguya was taken aback and quickly twisted his hips to dodge. As a result, the force in his hand loosened a bit, and Wangma broke free.
Once freed, Wang Ma immediately twisted his hands around Aguya's neck and threw him over the ground—Niko-ryu: Mangyu no Kata: Willow!
Akoya, a long-time judo practitioner and skilled in defense, caught himself mid-air without landing on his back. But before he could even catch his breath, Tokita Ohma's follow-up attack came—a head-on kick.
Aguya barely managed to reach out and block the kick, but the strength of his wrist was no match for that of his thigh. Wangma's kick struck his wrist and then slammed into Aguya's face, sending him flying two meters away, causing his nose to bleed profusely.
The top henchman of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was actually beaten quite badly by Tokita Ohma?
"Wow, so strong!" The quality of the elimination tournament is really high. The previous match between "Flavor" and Zero was already amazing, and the second match between Tokita is another incredible guy!
So, what is "Flavor," which was also astonished as a monster, doing now?
Hanon was in the men's restroom, completely bewildered.
Before her stood Adam Daddory and... the rational man.
"Riri, you... are you going to take Adam's spot as a gladiator?"
Section 173, Chapter 171: Quota Change
Just now, as soon as Kanon walked into the men's restroom, she saw Adam and Rito, who were gay... no, I mean gay guys... cough cough, it was Sawada Keizaburo!
The man and Adam faced off, their expressions very serious, and the man was issuing a challenge to Adam with respectful but unquestionable words.
"Please duel with me! If I win, you'll give me your spot in the competition."
Adam picked at his ear: "You want my spot on the show? Hmm... what if I refuse?"
Please, putting aside whether Adam is willing to fight Rito, his spot as a fighter is determined by the overall strategy of the Suoh Seitetsu Do-Katsu match, and he can't make that decision himself.
But Rito was not discouraged and continued, "Whether you agree or not, I will launch an attack. To be honest, you have no choice but to accept it... Please don't worry, if I win, I will still appoint the boss you want as the chairman of the Kengan Association."
"Hey, are you trying to rob me outright?" Adam was both amused and worried. He had never seen Rito fight, but based on what he'd heard and his own impressions, the two should be on the same level, or at least not by much. Adam shouldn't have been afraid of Rito. But now that he had Sawada by his side, two against one was going to be tricky.
Yes, isn't Sawada also a fighter who competed in the second round?
Adam pointed at Sawada: "You two are obviously good friends, why don't you ask him for a spot?"
To everyone's surprise, Rito replied decisively, "Because your opponent this round is that guy Wu Lei'an! It's because of him that I lost my chance to play in the first round, and now I'm going to get my revenge!"
After listening to a few sentences of conversation, Hua Yin had already figured out the situation and immediately interjected, "Hey, why don't you just go and snatch Wu Lei'an's spot directly, so he can't compete either, an eye for an eye, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Kanon's words directly accused Rito of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, which was a very hurtful question. However, Rito still answered decisively: "Ah, I've thought about that too, but firstly, it would be more satisfying to teach that bastard a lesson in front of everyone, and secondly... I can't find him, hahaha."
"Slap!" Three times, Kanon, Adam, and Sawada all rubbed their foreheads at the same time.
However, seeing how quickly Rito answered, Kanon believed that he was truly innocent and that his purpose in seeking to steal the fighter's spot from Adam was indeed to avenge Wu Lei'an. As for why he didn't make a move yesterday... it wasn't that Rito didn't have any ideas, but rather that with Kanon and the others moving into the villa in the forest to avoid unnecessary entanglements, Rito couldn't find a target to attack!
But this makes it even more impossible for Kanon to let him appear.
"Well, you should just give up," Hana advised. "Wu Lei'an is much stronger than you. You can't beat him. Even if you go out, you'll suffer a crushing defeat." She then looked at Sawada and decided to be sarcastic all the way through: "Besides, it's good that you didn't take Sawada's spot. The next match is his battle against Kuroki Gensai. Kuroki... Kuroki's strength might be the strongest among all the fighters. Neither of you can go up against him."
"You!" When Hanon said that, Rito was naturally angry, and Sawada was bound to be furious as well. Their reactions were similar, which probably means that these two became rivals and best friends because of their similar temperaments!
"Flavor, mind your own business and stop making sarcastic remarks!" In Rito and Sawada's eyes, the person who walked into the men's restroom was not Miss Hanane, but the fighter Flavor Sander who had broken through two rounds of the competition. In their view, "Flavor" was just a sarcastic and arrogant man with an overflowing sense of superiority, who used his strength and the result of passing two rounds to attack the two of them.
"Sigh, it's true that good advice is hard to persuade, honest advice is hard to hear but beneficial, and good intentions are taken for granted..." Hana thought to herself, but said aloud, "This is my business, because... the one who will take Adam's place in the battle is me."
"What?" ×3 Even Adam was puzzled. The young lady wanted to steal his spot?
Upon closer reflection, this is not surprising. Wu Lei'an is incredibly strong, far superior to Rito, and Adam certainly cannot defeat him either. Rather than letting a close friend suffer, it's better for Kanon to fight herself. At least with the "cheat code" in hand, Kanon is confident that she can hold her own against Wu Lei'an.
Besides, Huayin has disliked Wu Lei'an for a long time!
What's more, now that the video source association has provided new rules that we can take advantage of, we might as well use them!
"Alright...you're the boss, you call the shots. Be very careful when dealing with that freak." Adam shrugged. As Kanon's defeated opponent and half-employee, Adam really had nothing to complain about. On the contrary, from a friend's perspective, he was worried about Kanon's two matches.
"Okay, thank you for understanding. Let's go." Hanon was about to leave with Adam when Rito suddenly stepped in front of her.
"Hey, you can't leave yet!" Rito raised his arm, revealing, well, a rather scary but actually a bit silly... bear-like smile: "Since you've obtained Adam's spot, let's have a showdown! If I win, you give me the spot. We're both users of the Finger Razor, and I've wanted to fight you from the very beginning!"
This guy, Li Ren, is being persistent and it seems like things won't end well.
Hanon didn't seem to care, shrugging, "Then let's come... but we'll have to go somewhere else."
Li Ren slapped his forehead: "Yeah, fighting in the toilet is really inappropriate, hahaha."
Once again, *facepalm*, this guy is just too out of touch.
When Kanon, Adam, Rito, and Sawada walked out of the men's restroom, the screen in the corridor was showing the battle between Ohma and Akoya. While Rito was entangled in the fight, the battle on the field had already entered its later stages.
Compared to the first round, Tokita Ohma suddenly seemed like a completely different person, with significant improvements in both technique and strength. His moves were sharp, and he relentlessly pressured Akoya, making it difficult for him to retaliate. However, Akoya's goal was merely to "hold off Tokita for two minutes." With his unparalleled defensive capabilities, combined with his heavyweight physique and steady fighting style, he ultimately succeeded in stalling until Hiyama could complete his analysis.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Aguya." Hiyama said confidently, "Let's go!"
So Akoya Kiyoaki launched a counterattack. With Hiyama's help or rather, his control, he landed a series of heavy blows on Ohma, causing considerable damage immediately.
The situation reversed, and the audience in the arena became excited. They were looking forward to an offensive battle, rather than Aguya's passive defense and being on the defensive at the beginning.
What they didn't know was that Tokita Ohma could no longer reach Akoya. A direct confrontation? That was out of the question.
"The combined tactics of Akoya and Hiyama are always so effective, but after replacing Adam, I won't have the chance to fight them again." After staring at the screen for a while, Kanon made a judgment: "This version of Akoya would easily defeat Tokita in its normal state, but Tokita still has that one move..."
That move, "borrowing in advance".
Author's Note: Here I've tried to interweave the main competition and Kanon's side story, hoping it won't be too confusing for everyone...
Section 174, Chapter 172: Let him hit
Tokita Ohma initiated the "pre-borrowing".
His pupils were bloodshot, his skin darkened and turned red, his heartbeat suddenly increased, and his veins and blood vessels became clearly visible under the enormous pumping force. His muscles swelled, and his expression was ferocious, as if a true Asura had descended to earth.
"They look really strong." Kanon's eyes never left the screen. "I wonder if Aguya can hold them off."
Although Akoya's temperament has always been strange and Kanon doesn't like him very much, they have known each other and have some bond, so Kanon still hopes that Akoya can win.
"Hahaha, still just a piece of trash!" On the stands, Wu Lei'an remained arrogant, completely disregarding Aguya and Tokita.
In contrast, Kano Akihiro's attitude was more composed: "Tokita Ohma has become a completely different person in just two days. Was he not showing his full strength before? Or does he have some secret technique that allows him to improve so much in one go? In short, he's an unfathomable guy..."
Every audience member had their own assessment of the situation, so there was no need to elaborate. Only Miho and Garuda looked completely bewildered: "Flavor went to the restroom to find Adam, why hasn't she come back yet? Is there some kind of magical attraction in the men's restroom?"
Ahem, this is just slandering someone's innocence out of thin air. At this moment, Kanon, Adam, Sawada, and Rito had already reached an open space—of course, still within the arena's boundaries, since Sawada was going to appear in the next round!
Since it was within the arena, there were naturally screens broadcasting the match. Kanon and Sawada were watching the match closely; the former was simply curious about the outcome, while the latter was ready to rush off to join the battle against Kuroki at any moment.
On the screen, Tokita Ohma, after being "borrowed," launched a surprise attack, his speed and power techniques greatly enhanced. A fierce offensive left Akoya struggling. Kanon noticed him muttering something under his breath. While others couldn't tell, Kanon guessed that Akoya was complaining to Hiyama, and that Hiyama would likely have to take the blame for Akoya's disadvantage again.
"Sometimes when I think about it, Aguya seems like a pretty jerk~"
As Kanon was thinking about something interesting, she was suddenly caught off guard when, with a "rip," her leather jacket was ripped open by Rito's finger razor.
"Hey, you bastard, your opponent is right here!" Rito was very unhappy that "Flavor" was staring at the screen watching the game, so this brash guy chose to provoke him.
Seeing Rito's mischievous and confident grin, Kanon could only lament about her leather jacket: "Oh dear, this jacket is very expensive..."
Adam chuckled to himself, after all, he knew Hanon's true identity: "The young lady of the prestigious Eagle Wind family, would feel sorry for a piece of clothing?"
Well, Adam, who grew up in capitalist America, and Rito, who grew up in capitalist Japan, obviously cannot understand the spirit of hard work, simplicity, and perseverance of our great Chinese people... Okay, before Hanon transmigrated, she was just an ordinary person. When a nice piece of clothing suddenly got torn, of course she would feel a little heartache—what does it mean to stay true to one's original aspiration?
Hanon leaned back, clearly displeased with Rito's behavior: "Speak properly! Who are you trying to fool with your tough act? I'll beat you up!"
Unfortunately, Rito only saw Kanon's words as "super fierce.jpg" and didn't take them seriously at all: "Hmph, what's a piece of clothing? You'll be getting some bruises on you later!"
"Fine, fine, whatever you want." Kanon shrugged. Facing the naturally innocent Rito, Kanon had no intention of playing along with his tough talk or saying any hot-blooded, chuunibyou lines, since their feelings for each other weren't there yet!
Well, if we're really talking about it, the fighter whose personality is most similar to Kanon's is probably... Mutba!
"Welfare Bro" is also a casual person - not that he is casual about "eating", but that Mutba is also very calm when fighting. It is difficult to get him to have real emotions. At most, he will say a few meaningless words to his opponent. When it comes to fighting, he will always maintain his own rhythm. His calmness is comparable to that of Kuroki and "untransformed" Gana.
On the other hand, when others truly earn his respect, Mutba is absolutely brilliant in his conduct, doing things very well and clearly distinguishing between gratitude and resentment. In this respect, he is more approachable than the perpetually calm and composed Kuroki and the sometimes overly quiet and sometimes ferocious and domineering Ghana.
