The wind once again favors the grass here.

However, it is no longer appropriate to call this place a grassland.

The lawn that was man-made and neatly laid out just now is now completely devoid of grass.

Yes, there is only the charred remains after the raging flames and the earth has become riddled with holes.

However, this is not what is truly shocking.

Instead, it was a knife mark that seemed to have completely cut the land apart, running through an area with a diameter of 500 meters, like an abyss.

This knife mark is truly shocking and terrifying.

At the end of the knife mark was a human body that had been split into two parts.

"Boy, you made such a big fuss and asked me to clean up the mess for you. Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Nango Hikojiro, who was standing behind Haramura Makoto, had a fallen face.

Not to mention anything else, just this 500-meter-long crack would be very troublesome to restore it to its original state.

"I believe in the master's ability."

"Also, in order to prevent others from noticing, I will leave first."

It can be said that he didn't stay for even a minute longer. Haramura Makoto simply slipped away, using the footwork taught to him by Nango Hikojiro, and disappeared.

"This brat."

Looking at the mess in front of him and the back of Haramura Makoto as he left, Nango Hikojiro cursed with a smile.

He felt that his disciple should have learned 70% of the shameless ability.

But then he fell silent.

"This kid is a little too strong now. I wonder if he has touched the door now."

"If this guy can't reach the door, then it will be difficult for him to reach it."

Nango Hikojiro sighed softly, but the sadness on his face only lasted for a second. The next second he took out the cell phone from his pocket.

"Hey, hey, hey, Kurono, I have something urgent to do here, come over here..."

……

Time soon came to the third day, and it was time for the second round of competition to begin.

"How's your recovery going? Do you feel like you can use your full strength?"

This time, this is not the audience seats on the stage, but a lounge prepared for the contestants.

The area is about 40 to 50 square meters. The room is equipped with sofas and a large screen for watching the game in real time.

Every school has a player lounge like this, which is more than enough to accommodate five or six people.

"No problem, I have fully recovered."

In response to Haramura Makoto's question, Kurogane Ikki clenched his fists, but his face was full of guilt.

"I'm just sorry, Miss Shizuku and Miss Kiriko."

Just like he said on the hospital bed, the regeneration chamber alone is not enough for Ikki Kurogane to catch up with the game.

So Kurogane Shizuku gave all of her magic power, plus about 60% of Yakushi Kiriko's root magic power.

As a result, the current situation is that Kurogane Shushizuku is lying on the hospital bed instead of Kurogane Ikki.

Because Pharmacist Wu Zi had no time to recover his magic power and spirit, the victory that was originally a sure thing now became uncertain.

"If you can defeat Kurogane Ouma, it will be the best reward for their efforts."

Haramura Makoto glanced at Kurogane Ikki briefly.

Kurogane Jushizuku wants to see Kurogane Ikki realize his wish, while Yakushi Kiriko wants to fulfill her responsibility as a doctor and allow her patients to use their full strength.

How great is the favor these two people have done to Kurogane Ikki.

In response to such a heavy favor, Ikki Kurogane could only say one sentence.

“I’m not going to say I’m going to win.”

"But I will fight with all I have in the next battle."

Such a resounding answer is enough to prove Ikki Kurogane's determination.

"Now let me interrupt you with an emergency announcement."

The topic of Haramura Makoto and Kurogane Ikki had just ended, and the voice of the female commentator from the day before yesterday suddenly rang out on the screen that had been broadcasting the news.

"During this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, Akatsuki Academy's Tianyin Shinomiya was confirmed to have been killed yesterday. We are currently investigating the cause of Tianyin Shinomiya's death. I hope that we can find out the cause of Tianyin Shinomiya's death as soon as possible..."

The astonishing news completely stunned everyone who heard it.

Not only the spectators in the stands, but also Toudou Touka and Kitarohara Kanata who were sitting in the players' lounge were the same.

Only Haramura Makoto and Stella looked at each other.

That’s right, Tianyin Shinomiya is dead.

There is absolutely no way to save it.

His body was cut directly from the waist into two halves, and his brain waves had completely disappeared. Even if Pharmacist Wu Zi came in person, he could only be revived within the golden first aid period of ten minutes.

The only way now is probably to have a miracle of time reversal.

Also, do you want to find traces of Zinomiya Tianyin's death?

Not at all.

The next day, under the pretext of visiting Ikki Kurogane, Haramura Makoto went to take another look at the scene.

Everything returned to the same state as it was at the beginning, without any change.

Green lawns and intact street lights.

It was as if he had really experienced a reversal of time. If Haramura Makoto was not very clear about what he had done, he would probably have doubted himself.

How can we find evidence that Haramura Makoto committed the crime when there is not a single trace left at the scene?

He didn't know how the old man did it.

In short, he was right to ask the old man for help.

"So, because Shionomiya Tianyin died for some reason, the match between Shionomiya Tianyin of Akatsuki Academy and Guidehara Kanata of Pojun Academy, which was originally scheduled for the first round of the C venue today, will be directly promoted."

"Also, similarly, news came from Pojun Academy that Kurogane Jushizuku's magic power was over-consumed."

"Therefore, in the match between Tanlang Academy's Kurashiki Kōri and Pojun Academy's Kurogane Jushizuku, which was originally scheduled for the second round of the A venue today, Kurashiki Kōri will advance directly."

She picked it up. There is no doubt that for Guideyuan Bifang, she picked it up.

"Congratulations to the Vice President for advancing to the quarter-finals."

Chapter 122 Sideshow

Why say congratulations?

After all, there was no way that Kitanohara Kanata could beat Shinomiya Tenon no matter what. She had originally planned to give up today, but she didn't expect that she could directly enter the quarter-finals.

"Then I'll go in first."

The bell in the lounge rang, urging Haramura Makoto to enter.

"Take the victory, Makoto."

Stella placed a gentle kiss on his face.

"Of course."

Makoto Haramura also leaned over and gave Stella a light kiss on her oval face.

"It will be over soon."

……

"Now let's kick off the second round, the first game of Zone A."

"The first person we can see is the super popular contestant, Haramura Makoto from Pojun Academy, walking out of the east passage."

The voice of a female commentator was playing through the loudspeaker.

The atmosphere at the scene was also mobilized at this moment, and countless young people even stood up and shouted.

"Time and space are frozen, time and space are frozen——"

Especially the sharp screams mixed in with the shouts. If this was not a competition venue, people would even think this was a gathering place for a cult.

Their fanatical look seemed like they had found their own faith.

Some fanatical fans were even ready to break through the protective shield and rush towards the stadium.

Under this state of being the center of attention, Haramura Makoto took powerful steps and stood at his own end.

At this moment, it seemed as if the eyes of the world were focused on him.

"Wow, you really are very popular, Junior Brother."

As the voice sounded, a girl with black hair tied in a ponytail and a band-aid on her face, wearing the Wuqu Academy uniform, looked very energetic, waved her hand, and ran towards Haramura Makoto.

"Ok?"

A question mark lit up on Haramura Makoto's head, and an expression of "Who are you?" appeared on his face.

"Eh?"

"Didn't the master tell you about me? This is really too much."

"I am your senior sister."

The girl was so shocked that her straight ponytail fell down.

"Now comes his opponent, the 'Wisp' Asagi Kame from Muku Academy."

"Of course, the most noteworthy thing is that both of them are disciples of the Fighting God, which means that a battle between fellow disciples will be staged here."

The host's voice sounded again.

"Sorry, senior sister."

"The master certainly didn't tell me."

Haramura Makoto was stunned for a moment, and then apologized with obvious insincerity.

Hikojiro Nango is already ninety years old this year.

Since he became famous, he has actually been teaching many sword-fighting practitioners in his country, some of whom are his direct disciples and some of whom are registered disciples.

So many years have passed, and if Nango Hikojiro were to carefully count how many disciples he had, he probably wouldn't have much of an impression.

Of course, this is why the name Fighting God is so influential.

What it represents is not only that Nango Hikojiro is currently the strongest in Japan, but also that it represents the lineage of fighting gods that has spread throughout the swordsman world in Japan.

"Wow--"

It was like a heavy hammer hitting Asaki Kazuki directly on the head, making her dizzy.

"I thought today would be a very dramatic meeting, but Master is so abominable..."

"We can start now."

Haramura Makoto scratched his head and turned to ask Shinguji Kurono.

"Both sides are ready, the game begins."

The moment the start of the match was announced and the order was given, Shinguji Kurono instantly withdrew from the battle circle.

Asagi Kazuki directly summoned his spiritual outfit, pouting his lips in anger, as if he wanted to teach his disobedient junior brother Haramura Makoto a lesson.

The sword-shaped spiritual outfit was wrapped in scorching flames. Asaki Kazuki decided to cause some trouble for his junior fellow apprentice, so he rushed forward with the sword in hand.

But at the moment she attacked.

Haramura Makoto actually disappeared right in front of her.

She didn't even blink, nor did she notice the pull.
