I refuse to be a plagiarist

The level and economy instantly had a huge advantage.

Unfortunately, the advantages established in the early stage did not gradually expand.

With repeated lags in operational details and finally, a major mistake by Hasegawa Hide, the black screen meant that the advantage he had opened up in the early stages of the game had been completely recovered.

As mentioned before, for many games, without a certain level of training and experience as a foundation, it is easy to find yourself in an awkward situation where a good cook has no rice to cook.

Just like Hasegawa now.

Although he has been training very hard with Ishigami Yu during this period, there is obviously an indelible technical gap between the two of them when facing this internet-addicted teenager who has been spending a long time studying this game.

Without investing a certain amount of time and experience, this seemingly subtle gap would be difficult to bridge by taking shortcuts.

"hateful......."

It is really frustrating that after trying hard, there is still no way to change the future outcome.

Although Hasegawa Hide himself did not have any major resentment at this time, Ishigami Yu, who was standing outside the field and watching with him during this period of time, had already clenched his fists, staring at the screen with his eyes fixed, and his teeth were chattering.

Compared to Hasegawa, who was extremely calm, after the previous two matches, he had already been provoked by this senior to fight.

——That is the so-called desire to win!

He could see that although Hasegawa Hide seemed to have made some "mistakes", those loopholes in the details were actually the inevitable results forced out by the opponent's operations.

The senior in front of him has done his best to display the strength he has developed in the past few days of special training, but...

"Hehe, Hasegawa-senpai, are you okay now?"

Perhaps it was because of the too much psychological pressure caused by this "big devil" before, seeing that the rhythm of the game was firmly in his hands, the boy in the challenge group could not help but want to vent the emotions that had been accumulated in his heart, and kept saying some trash words that could easily mess with people's mentality.

But he obviously underestimated someone's ability to withstand pressure.

When he was working in the early years, especially when he was involved in the service industry, Hasegawa Hide had encountered all kinds of inhuman customers. He had seen all kinds of scoundrels, and he had almost collected all the scumbags in modern society.

Compared to those guys who always brag about "Bagayalo", the young man in front of him is just puffing up a little bit, which is nothing at all.

"I'm fine...

But junior, if I remember correctly, you seem to have been playing this game for more than five years, right?"

While calmly operating the character on the computer, he was communicating with the arrogant junior student opposite him who had a dream of e-sports.

Facing Hasegawa Hide's sudden question, he was stunned for a moment, then asked in a somewhat frustrated tone:

"What, what's wrong?"

"Oh~ So, you have indeed been playing for five years?

Hehe... I don't mean anything else, I just feel it's good to be able to stick to a game I like and invest time and energy in it."

Try your best to kill every soldier.

A long time ago when he was in middle school, Hasegawa himself was once addicted to a laning game called "Dota". He even thought about reviewing the details of the laning game and the rhythm of development during class every day.

But that was before the time travel.

Seeing the other party's obviously frustrated look, he smiled slightly, and then nonchalantly delivered a "fatal blow":

"Then you know what?

It’s only been a little over three days since I started playing this game.”

"what?!"

The sudden information he got made him pause subconsciously for a moment even with his right hand that was operating the mouse.

It was at this time that Hasegawa seized this slight flaw and used a small skill to consume a wave of enemies within the limit of the capture range, thus lowering the opponent's kill line.

"I, a beginner, got first blood in a solo game. Tsk tsk........

You have ruined all the glory of being a veteran player for five years~"

[Here comes Hasegawa's great Yin-Yang magic! 】

Hearing this familiar tone, Yukinoshita Haruno's pupils dilated slightly and the expression on her face instantly became wonderful.

This kind of highly lethal "forbidden technique" that only appears occasionally will make even myself lose control of my emotions after using it, not to mention the young man opposite who has poor psychological quality.

"Senior... You must be trying to use this method of provoking me to reveal my flaws, right?"

It was as if each word was squeezed out from between teeth.

Sure enough, it was just as Yukinoshita Haruno had expected.

Looking in the direction of the voice, the e-sports boy sitting opposite Hasegawa was now flushed and had a thick neck, with veins bulging on his forehead. If you didn't know, you would think that this guy was about to transform into a Super Saiyan.

He clearly said, "I know you are trying to provoke me," but his actual behavior was exactly the same as if he had no idea.

"Oh~

Since you said so, then it is so!"

Great Yin-Yang Technique, critical hit! x2

The casual words floated through the air into the boy's ears.

However, the more nonchalant Hasegawa's tone seemed, the more intense the stimulation it caused to him seemed.

It was another mistake in details that allowed Hasegawa to successfully consume a piece of the opponent's health bar for free.

Faced with these consecutive mistakes, the e-sports kid who originally seemed to have already defeated him gradually became anxious and increased his concentration to the maximum.

The mistakes that have been made are irreversible.

After regaining his focus, he started playing against Hasegawa again, and they kept depleting each other's health bar on the edge of the "death circle".

Finally, when the health bar had reached the killing line, both sides looked at each other and started to operate at the same time.

Flash! Ignite!

Two small figures on the screen rushed towards each other as they released their skills, and were about to collide.

【Oops! 】

[Compared to this guy, my character's skill trajectory speed is slower! ]

A subtle emotion suddenly appeared on his face, which had been calm all the time.

However, at this critical moment, accompanied by a slight sound, the screens of the two computers flashed and turned into a deep black at the same time...

Chapter 29: The Strongest Off-field Support

“Blank!

What on earth just happened? I already won!"

He stood up from his seat in a flash.

Looking at the host computer that suddenly turned off due to power loss and the monitor that went black, the e-sports boy clenched his fists, feeling indescribable frustration in his heart.

Although the details of the two people's decisive victory just now were insignificant, as a gamer who is proficient in calculations and has a high level of mental concentration, he was still able to clearly calculate the outcome of the fatal fight just now.

The health of both sides had undoubtedly reached a dangerous point where they could die at any moment, but because I had used my skills to hit them first, according to the rules, the final winner of that SOLO match should be me who got two kills first.

But.......

His red eyes were fixed on Hasegawa Hide, who was still sitting on the chair in front of him and seemed to have not yet reacted.

The sudden power outage instantly changed the outcome of the competition, which had almost been determined.

For the young e-sports player who has endured humiliation for a long time and is waiting for a comeback in the game, he now has neither any substantial evidence to prove his victory nor any other way to get his opponent, Hasegawa Hide, to speak for him.

Ask yourself, if you were in your opponent's shoes and faced with such a situation, you would definitely insist on your decision and never admit defeat.

The key is......

[Given his beginner level, he probably didn’t notice the subtle difference just now…]

Sighing silently.

Although Hasegawa Hide's Yin-Yang magic just now made him feel very uncomfortable and he didn't want to admit it in his heart, the fact was that this senior who was like a big devil almost defeated him, a "veteran player" with five years of experience, as a beginner.

Psychological tactics are also a type of tactic. Since it is not cheating, it is an allowed behavior during the game.

"Ugh......."

In fact, he really wanted to fight for it, but the words "I obviously won" he said when he stood up just now really felt like a far-fetched argument in the eyes of the onlookers.

After all, everyone is some distance away from the computer, and it is impossible for them to have the same detailed observation and judgment as the contestants in the competition.

Even as a referee, Shizuka Hiratsuka, after witnessing this accidentally disrupted process, she had no actual evidence to refer to, and her final conclusion could only be "a draw."

[Phew~ That was close...]

Faced with this ending, compared to the e-sports boy who had a look of pity on his face, Hasegawa, although on the surface he looked like he would "obey Teacher Jing's arrangements", his heart had already experienced an intense fluctuation.

This result was truly a pleasant surprise for him.

But apart from the joy of having picked up a bargain, he was more suspicious about the reason for the inexplicable power outage.

[Could it be that... there really is a god silently helping us from behind? ]

A seemingly strange idea suddenly popped up in Hasegawa Hide's mind at this moment.

In the past, he had always been a staunch atheist.

However, since I have already encountered time travel, it doesn't seem so difficult to accept if a god suddenly jumps out to help me at this point.

After all, how can you survive in another world without some cheats these days?

Although I have achieved some success now, no one would complain about the benefits being too little, right?

[Kamisama, if you can hear my prayers, please give me some super powers...]

Strong mobility is one of his characteristics.

In a perspective that no one else could see, Hasegawa, with his clear mind, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, opened and closed his mouth slightly, and prayed silently in his heart with great piety.

No one will see it anyway, so why not give it a try?

This kind of thinking is a bit like buying lottery tickets and drawing character cards in a scam mobile game. Although everyone knows that it is unlikely to succeed, the idea of ​​"maybe" that lingers in their mind will always tempt the person involved to do something that seems very stupid.

However, what he didn't know was that his stupid appearance at this moment had been seen by a special agent girl hiding in the distance.

You think that the years are peaceful, but in fact, there are people silently carrying the burden behind you.

The emergency power outage that occurred at the critical moment when Hasegawa was fighting with the e-sports boy was actually the result of Hayasaka Ai's timely manipulation behind the scenes.

"This idiot......."

Through the drone's camera, she can clearly see the movements of someone's lips and read what the other person is mumbling through lip reading.

My Lord God... Oh, you are so naive.

Will the gods help you quietly turn off the power in the computer room?

"Ugh......"

[Why didn’t I realize before that this guy who looks so steady and reliable actually has such a naive side behind the scenes…]

I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

Compared to the guy who saw through her peeping when they first met offline, Hasegawa Hide at this time really made Hayasaka Ai feel an indescribable contrast.

Looking through the screen at the other person who seemed to have completely fallen into a state of delusion, the girl shook her head with amusement, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.

She eliminated all the traces she had accidentally left at the scene one by one. Finally, she retrieved the drone that she had sent out to detect the situation at the scene and quietly left the "crime scene."

I left quietly, just as I came quietly, waving my sleeves and leaving without taking away a cloud.

As a girl with professional-level agent skills, if she hadn't focused too much attention on spying on someone else, she wouldn't have left so many traces.

[Hmph~ Just thank me properly. ]

Thinking of this, the girls turned over flexibly and easily escaped from the blind spot of the school surveillance.

However, the golden hair that fluttered in the air due to the movement was seen by Hasegawa as he walked towards the dance studio and inadvertently glanced at the school fence.

"........"

[Strange...Did I accidentally see it wrong just now? ]

[I always feel like he is an acquaintance. 】

I started to have doubts in my heart.
