The socially anxious girl doesn't want to stick to me!

——【Unlock Template: Sky Palace】!!!

……not bad.

These two skills are really good... Igarashi Sakuraba thought so.

And... after unlocking two skills, you even unlock the template of [Aerial Temple] - in fact, there is no need to explain too much, this is equivalent to a color-changing target. Take Neeko in League of Legends as an example. Whoever Neeko wants to become, she must choose a target, and then imitate it completely.

and so……

Having unlocked this template by myself is equivalent to having the preliminary ability to imitate the Sky Palace.

This is very important for Igarashi Sakuraba. This is the second running method she has learned, and there are some things she wants to experiment with urgently.

Then close the panel.

From this point of view, I now have many skills. I have learned the most from the Emperor of the East Sea, including the Emperor's dance steps. Needless to say, then there is the True Smart and now the Sky Palace, and the [Pink Sonic Boom·Unyielding Will] which has changed color once.

Maybe I will need to stack BUFF when I run in the future.

Like the status bar of an online game is directly filled up——

Imagine the scene...

Igarashi Sakuraba almost laughed out loud, and then, with a slight smile on his face, he stretched his body in a relaxed and happy manner.

Get ready to start training to get stronger.

The goal has been set - this time, no matter what, I will not retreat - it's true, not to mention that I have agreed to it! Igarashi Sakuraba is very grateful to the Sky Shrine for helping him anchor his goal and telling him not to back down. This world is beautiful and gentle... I didn't expect that there is such a delicate heart under the bad appearance.

Move forward boldly.

Don't look back.

There is not much time left until the Junior Cup starts... I must become stronger urgently.

Think so.

Another sense of urgency came naturally. Igarashi Sakuraba knew that Aimu Orihime would be very strong, but this time, he really would not back down. Moreover, he was the one who could win. Didn't he also think that he was invincible when facing Narita Road? But in the end, he still won, right? He ran the best time and won the whole game!

There are also people who support themselves.

Be firm - and keep being firm.

Turbocharged.

So, as soon as he woke up, Igarashi Sakuraba went to the training horse farm to seek to become stronger and make a breakthrough.

……

just.

1H30MIN later——one hour and thirty minutes later.

Igarashi Sakuraba stood there, letting the sweat on his forehead drip onto the grass. His eyes were a little dull, but his brows were furrowed, which was proof of his deep thinking.

…the question she was thinking about.

Very critical.

State the premise.

Now Igarashi Sakuraba has learned the flexible running method of the East China Sea Emperor, and her body has also been transformed to be suitable for running. Therefore, Igarashi Sakuraba has always used the running method of the East China Sea Emperor before, needless to say. Now, she has unlocked the running method of [Aerial Shrine] and just wanted to give it a try, but she felt a strong sense of discomfort, especially when she switched to the accelerated running method of the Aerial Shrine midway.

There is a discomfort that even a discerning person can see.

What should I say?

...switch.

Correct.

That’s the word, switch.

Igarashi Sakuraba couldn't do both running styles well at the same time.

But here, she recalled the last time she used the really clever running method, and the short-distance acceleration was obviously not such a big problem, but smooth. Why is that? This is a bit contradictory, right? Thinking silently, is it because of the problem of the "template running method"?

No no no, I figured it out!

Even my eyes lit up!

This is because although he switched to Zhen Jiling's running style at that time, he was actually just using her method to speed up a bit, and it was essentially still the running style of the Emperor of the East China Sea.

They are not fundamentally the same.

The running style of the Sky Shrine is not so flexible, and the fundamental power mode is different - after saying so much, the key point is the power mode. This is absolutely correct, because Igarashi Sakuraba also remembered that he used the [Color Change Card·Pink Color Sonic Boom] that time, and even his body turned into the shape of Narita Road.

Well, that should be the reason.

"This is really a big problem." She couldn't help but smile bitterly, with a little reluctance.

Because if it is set up like this, it means that Igarashi Sakuraba can only improve the running method of the Emperor of the East China Sea to the peak. After that, all running methods are just extras and can only be slightly enhanced with skills. A system will not be that strong at first glance, and it will be half useless.

Is that so?

No no no…absolutely not.

Clench your fists slightly.

Igarashi Sakuraba's fists were not made of dough - she just wanted to. Since the system did not prevent her from switching, the problem was that she was not smooth enough during the switch, so she would lose speed temporarily, and even her best center of gravity control was obviously poor.

But it is indeed a bit uncomfortable after the switch, right?

Do you want to adjust the force mode? This thing is really not that easy to adjust. It is really not a trivial matter. It is really a very critical problem. Even if the problem is found, it is difficult to solve it.

What you need to do is to switch to the corresponding force mode within 1 second, otherwise... it will be like now.

Totally stalled, out of control.

...rubbed his sore temples.

She saved the question.

There was no answer for the time being, and I couldn't think of the answer. For the time being, I didn't continue to use the [Sky Palace] to unlock the template running method, but instead practiced the East China Sea Emperor's running method wholeheartedly.

I originally thought I could give them a super surprise, but they pouted and looked a little unhappy.

only……

We’ll talk about it later. Now let’s train hard and become stronger.

With this in mind, Igarashi Sakuraba no longer paid attention to these things and continued to train hard as he had just said.

……

The road to dominance is bound to be full of thorns.

And Igarashi Sakuraba had a vague premonition... once he solved this most critical problem, nothing would be able to stop him.

Chapter 66: The Emperor's Explanation

"I'm ready."

In the Emperor's office, the syllables were handed over.

The girl, who wore a hooded sweatshirt even when indoors, said to the tyrant behind the table, who was apparently comfortable and relaxed, with a determined look on her face - she was ready. At the same time, Igarashi Sakuraba knew why Luduo did not force himself to participate in the competition at that time, but let himself prepare...

Let’s talk about the competition after you’re ready.

because...

This is a belief.

The girl wearing the hood of her sweatshirt is obviously Igarashi Sakuraba. Only her knife-like and curved jawline is revealed, but one can tell at a glance that it is her.

“【Junior Cup】——I’m ready.”

Igarashi Sakuraba said directly.

The emperor opposite him crossed his hands and gently rested them on his chin, with a hint of amusement on his face: "Why did you take so long?" As he spoke, he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

……

Igarashi Sakuraba was originally full of confidence.

Encouraged by the Sky Palace, I understood something. I took advantage of the daylight and went directly to the student council president's office and said that I wanted to participate in the competition. But this was the answer? Was this a blow? It took me so long... It didn't encourage me! This confidence was like a balloon that burst with a poke, but fortunately, a little bit of it remained.

I barely suppressed the heartbeat that was about to jump out of my throat.

——Don’t let me turn back into a socially anxious Kappa balloon that bursts with a single poke!

Igarashi Sakuraba was about to make some excuses.

The emperor in front of him slowly put down the green tea cup: "I knew you would come--"

"【Junior Cup】" she continued to speak slowly, but she didn't just say it, she also flipped through the documents in the drawer and said, "I haven't reported it to you yet. Fortunately, as the student council president, I can temporarily jump the queue. It seems that you don't have much time left."

"Looking at it this way, there are quite a lot of strong opponents in this game."

side said.

He spread out the A4 paper and saw the same list of contestants as last time, with the same name at the top.

"——I adore Orihime."

The voice in Igarashi Sakuraba's mind echoed in reality. The Ludo symbol pointed at this name, and the voice did not disappear. He also introduced: "Of course, if you want to win the championship, the biggest obstacle is this horse girl. Please pay more attention to her."

"You should know this, right? If you admire Orihime's achievements and abilities, you have to be serious, or else... you'll fail."

There was a hint of seriousness in his words.

In an instant, his cynical attitude turned into a serious one. Even from the emperor's perspective... he could look up to him, even though he was a little immature, but he was strong.

It requires more attention.

"The enemy I want to defeat... is her." Igarashi Sakuraba nodded solemnly. His eyes never left the other's headshot, just staring at it. Although he knew that he admired Orihime, he was still a little surprised to hear the emperor praising her. He felt the other's momentum coming at him again, even overwhelming him.

just.

Although he felt a sense of urgency... Igarashi Sakuraba also knew that he might not be able to outrun Orihime.

but.

When the game comes, she will beat her opponent no matter what! This time it is no longer a promise to herself, but a promise to others, a promise not to let them down.

——Defeat? The enemy?

It's a bit murderous.

The emperor thought.

A softened smile appeared on his face again.

"Oh, right... President." After hesitating for a long time, Igarashi Sakuraba finally expressed his confusion: "Do you know how to switch the power mode? I don't know how to say it... But this is completely different from running, ah... I don't know how to describe it... It's just..."

Talking and talking.

He was also gesticulating and making gestures to the other party, talking and moving non-stop.

But the more I explain, the more confusing it becomes.

It's not easy for people with social anxiety to speak long sentences! Igarashi Sakuraba hardly ever said anything, and now, he is describing the difficult and complicated problems he encountered to others. How can he describe it clearly? It's just like Aba Aba.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Lu Duo couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and quickly called for a stop: "Can you organize your words?"

"Okay." Igarashi Sakuraba responded sincerely.

Then, there was a brief silence.

After Igarashi Sakuraba organized his words, he broke the silence: "It's about the running method and the power mode. A normal horse girl can only have one power mode, right? Right? No? Right? My question is a bit complicated... Ababa Ababa..."

As he spoke, he started dancing again.

He used his hands and feet to express his thoughts.

Lu Duo was overwhelmed and quickly called out, "Stop, stop, stop."

"Uh..." She took over the topic. This time, she did not try to get the other party to organize his words. Instead, she asked with a little suspicion: "You want to ask about the information on [Force Mode]? Have you encountered any problems in this regard? I remember! You are a running devourer. If you want to run 100% like a model, you must adjust to the corresponding force mode."

"only……"

"This is derived from the structure of the body, right? So how can we imitate it 100%?"

Luduo symbolizes a slap on the head.
