The story we started

[He took out another spare sniper rifle and the metal box from the trunk. The box made a dull sound when it fell to the ground. It was obvious that this thing was not light.]

[He put the sniper rifle on his back, carried the box in both hands and walked towards the direction of the rising black smoke. There was no car here that he could use, so Kousaka Kyosuke could only walk over.]

[When passing by the young policeman, Kousaka Kyosuke stopped, squatted down, silently closed his eyes, and then carried the box to the park again.]

[Under the sunlight, every step he took left a clear bloody footprint.]

[“Wait for me, Zaimokuza/Kousaka-san!”]

[The two people who were separated by two places surprisingly reached the same consensus in their inner thoughts at this moment. ]

29. Brand new power, power beyond the realm!

Chiba Prefecture, Sobu High School. 133txt.com

"I never thought that Mr. Kousaka would almost die at your hands, Yukinoshita. Remember to apologize to him when you see him next time."

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who watched the entire process of Kyosuke Kousaka being unintentionally harmed by Yukinoshita Yukino from a God's perspective, sighed and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with some irony, whose expression seemed a little unsettled. The girl with long black hair didn't dare to look her in the eye and turned her head away awkwardly and coughed a few times.

"This, this was just an accident, but you are right, Mr. Hiratsuka. It was my fault in the end. If I could meet Kosaka-kun, I would apologize to him."

The girl who has always been strong and committed to doing what is right did not escape the mistake she made that almost cost the lives of her allies, and a faint blush appeared on her fair face.

"I never thought that one day I would hear you admit your mistakes from your mouth, Yukinoshita. Is the world finally going to end? Or is the sun rising from the west?"

Hikigaya Hachiman covered his mouth with one hand, pretending to be surprised. His dead fish eyes narrowed into half crescents, making him look like a fox that had stolen a chicken.

"Mr. Penguin, if you can't speak human language, you can consider donating your tongue to the deaf and mute people in need. This will be the greatest contribution you can make to the world."

Yukinoshita Yukino glared at him coldly and turned her head. Her icy gaze was like a sharp samurai sword, vowing to chop this bastard who could only sneer into sashimi.

"Ah~ I didn't expect that you, Yukinoshita-san, would make a mistake one day? This is really surprising."

The voice came from behind again. Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and looked at Hikigaya Hachiman standing behind her again, but found that his expression was also a little strange and he moved his body away, revealing the person behind him.

"...Ye Shan? Why are you here?"

"Eh? Hayato!"

Yuigahama Yui looked at Hayama Hayato who appeared behind Hikigaya with surprise, and the other party also waved and greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, Yui."

"It's not just Hayato, it's us too, Yui!~"

As his voice fell, several figures emerged from behind him. Miura Yumiko, Ebina Hina, Tobe Sho, and Ebina Hina, all the members of the class's live-action group, were all present. Tobe Sho waved and greeted her with a smile.

"Ye Shan, why are you here?"

Hiratsuka Shizuya raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked the people standing at the door.

"Good morning, Mr. Hiratsuka. Your question is actually very easy to answer. Such a big thing has happened, and all the members of your Service Club have already appeared on the video, Yukinoshita-san. It would be a bit unreasonable if you don't come here to take a look, right?"

Hayato Hayama smiled and shook the phone in his hand, on which was playing the video that Yukinoshita Yukino and the others were also watching.

"This is a classroom exclusively for the Service Department. If you don't have any commissions that need to be completed by the Service Department, please leave. Groups of noisy people are not welcome here."

For some reason, Yukinoshita Yukino spoke to Hayama Hayato and his group in a somewhat cold voice. Although her words were polite, the sense of alienation and expulsion was undoubtedly revealed. When they heard her words, not to mention Hayama Hayato, Tobe Sho on the opposite side had an unhappy expression on his face, and the hot-tempered Miura Yumiko even frowned, and glared at Yukinoshita Yukino while seeing Yuigahama Yui's panic expression.

"Yukinoshita! You really are——"

When Miura Yumiko was about to get angry, Hayama Hayato stopped her with one hand and smiled awkwardly in the face of her puzzled look.

"Well... I'm afraid it might be difficult to leave, Yukinoshita-san."

"why?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned at him, her voice already filled with obvious displeasure.

"After all, there are a lot of people outside now."

Hayato Hayama smiled faintly, reached out to grasp the door handle of the service department's sliding door, and then gently pulled it open a little. Suddenly, a deafening sound rushed into the originally quiet classroom.

"Where is he? Where is Zaimokuza Yoshiki? Is he really as handsome as he is in the video!?"

"Alas, Yukinoshita-san only looks a little shorter than in the video, but there's no other change!"

"I saw it! I saw that Zaimokuza! So fat!? The clothes are similar, but the rest are nothing like him. Did he have plastic surgery?"

"Idiot! He looks like he's in his twenties in the video, and he's no more than twenty now. And fat guys are all potential stocks, don't you know? With such poor taste, no wonder your boyfriend chose to run away and find a shemale instead of you!"

"Hayama-san, what's the situation inside? Is Zaimokuza-san——"

With a click, the sliding door closed again, blocking out all sounds. The sliding door had good sound insulation, so now only vague sounds could be heard coming from outside the door. Hayato Hayama turned around and looked at the service team with wide eyes, and smiled helplessly.

"Well, as you can see, Yukinoshita-san, the corridor outside is already crowded with people who want to see Zaimokuza-san. I told them not to rush in, I would come in to check and tell everyone the result. Luckily, everyone gave me face and believed me."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino's face turned a little pale. The scene outside just now really shocked her, and now she didn't know how to refuse.

"Forget it, Ye Shan, you guys just stay here. It's better for you guys to stay here than for those people outside to rush in."

Shizuka Hiratsuka rubbed her temples with a headache. After hearing her consent, the smiles on the faces of the remaining people became even brighter. Yumiko Miura even raised her eyes at Yukinoshita Yukino with some pride, but was ignored by her again.

"Nice to meet you. You must be Zaimokuza-san, right?"

Hayato Hayama walked past the silent Hikigaya Hachiman, approached the somewhat bewildered Zaimokuza, and stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Uh...hello?"

Zaimokuza looked at the handsome blond man in front of him. Even though he had always been a chuunibyou who turned a deaf ear to the world outside, he had heard of this king-level current figure who was as famous as Sobu High School and Yukinoshita Yukino, or even more famous. He hesitantly stretched out his hand to shake hands with him, and a somewhat honest smile appeared on his fat face.

This is the common problem of otakus. No matter how omnipotent they claim to be, when it comes to real practice, they are more cowardly than the other. This is even more so when chasing girls. The love guru who can talk about anything on the Internet will become a severely disabled deaf-mute in reality.

"You don't need to feel so reserved. After all, you are much more famous than I am now. Almost everyone in the world knows your name."

"'Fight to protect everyone's smiles!' - This sentence sounds very cool, and you took action for it, which is really admirable. I can't do it like you in the future."

Having said that, although Hayato Hayama still had a smile on his face, his eyes became somewhat deep as he looked at Zaimokuza, with inexplicably complex meanings flashing in his eyes.

"Ah."

After hearing his words, Yukinoshita Yukino laughed coldly, with undisguised sarcasm in her laughter.

"Yukinoshita! What do you mean? You want to have a fight, right?"

Hearing this sneer, Miura Yumiko couldn't bear it anymore. She broke free from Tobe Sho's hand on her shoulder and walked towards her with an angry face. Yukinoshita Yukino also broke free from Yuigahama Yui's hands and stood up expressionlessly.

"If you wish—"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly inserted himself in between two people who were about to have a quarrel, stretched out his hands and pointed them at the two people who were walking towards each other. Because Miura Yumiko's breasts were too curvy, his outstretched palms almost pressed down.

"Hey! Hikio, what are you doing? Are you trying to molest me—"

"Zaimokuza in the video is in danger."

Before Miura Yumiko, with her face blushing and her arms crossed, could scold him, Hikigaya's calm words completely suppressed the argument, and everyone subconsciously looked back at their phones playing the video.

[“Hmm!”]

[Zaimokuza held the Blue Dragon Staff in both hands and held it across his chest. The staff was wedged into the gap between the blades of the long halberds that were stabbing at him, blocking the fierce blade that was stabbing at his chest, thus preventing the tragedy of being pierced through the chest like yesterday from happening again.]

[But even so, the huge force pushed him backwards until he hit a wall. Baduu grinned and increased his strength, pressing the long halberd against the body of the Qinglong stick towards Zaimokuza's left chest. The sharp tip of the halberd had already pierced into the blue armor, blood flowed from the wound, and he taunted in Japanese skillfully.]

["What's wrong, Kuuga? Is this all you can do now?"]

[“Shut up, shut up! No matter how bad I am, I am still better than a damn locust like you!”]

[Zaimokuza refuted stubbornly, his hands holding the stick trembling slightly, and watched helplessly as the long halberd pierced into his chest, the halberd blade gradually enlarging the wound.]

[“Really? I hope your mouth is harder than the stick in your hand!”]

[After Baduu finished speaking, he suddenly kicked Zaimokuza in the abdomen, knocking him through the wall behind him and sending him flying into an empty swimming pool behind him. He rolled several times on the bottom of the pool, which was still wet.]

[“Guaaa!”]

[Zaimokuza lay on the ground, holding his abdomen and making a sound of pain. The kick had just hit the wound that had been pierced through yesterday. The intense pain almost made him suffocate, and his whole body shrank like a cooked shrimp.]

[Zaimokuza was startled by the sound coming from above, and he rolled to the side subconsciously. One end of the pitch-black double-headed halberd pierced into the place where his head was originally, and the halberd blade pierced through the tiles of the swimming pool.]

[This made his entire body shudder. If he hadn't dodged in time, this halberd would have made him physically brainless.]

[“Aa ...

[But before Zaimokuza could stand up, Baduu, who was coming at him aggressively, did not give him any chance and drew out his halberd to stab him in the chest. In desperation, Zaimokuza could only grit his teeth and use one hand to stab it with the Blue Dragon Stick. As a result, because his hand was in the middle of the Blue Dragon Stick, the length was not enough, and he was stabbed by the opponent first, and the scream of pain sounded again. ]

[Zaimokuza was pinned against the pool wall by Baduu's halberd, the black halberd blade piercing his right chest, blood gushing out.]

[This is the result of Zaimokuza dodging. If he had not turned sideways and used his right chest to attack, this blow would have directly pierced his heart located in the left chest.]

[“It seems your mouth is as honest as your body, Kuuga!”]

【Baduu held the double-headed halberd that had pierced Zaimokuza's right chest with both hands, and the corners of his stiff mouth pulled out a hideous and terrifying arc. He turned his palm and rotated the halberd blade. The halberd blade that had pierced his chest began to rotate as Zaimokuza screamed in increasing pain. The fierce blade turned the wedge-shaped wound on the armor into a bloody hole. As his palm rotated and Zaimokuza struggled in pain, red blood dripped from the wound and flowed to the feet of both of them. Soon, a small pool of blood accumulated. The blood was diluted by the remaining water marks at the bottom of the pool, and the water mirror reflecting the azure sky was dyed bright red, as if the sky was also covered with a layer of red curtain.】

"It's too much!"

Yuigahama covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Zaimokuza screaming in the video in horror, her eyes turning red.

"Hiss! It looks like it hurts, Zaimokuza, are you okay?"

Tobe Sho subconsciously covered his right chest with both hands and took a breath, then turned to ask Zaimokuza who was sitting there. Miura Yumiko and Yukinoshita Yukino, who originally wanted to quarrel, turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch. Especially Miura Yumiko, her face turned pale. I don't know what she thought of this scene, and the hand that was not holding the phone wrapped around her plump chest.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Hayama Hayato were both staring at Zaimokuza who was sitting on the chair. Although his face was a little pale, he was no longer shaking all over like last time. His eyes were fixed on the "self" who was screaming in the video.

Come on! Future me, he thought silently in his heart.

【"drink!"】

[Baduu, who had had enough, clenched the halberd that had pierced Zaimokuza's chest with both hands, and lifted him up with force while roaring, throwing him upwards. Zaimokuza, who still held onto the Blue Dragon Staff, screamed as he was thrown away. Blood spurted out as the halberd left his chest, and a blood-red splattered in the air as he was thrown away.]

【Plop! 】

[Zaimokuza was thrown into another swimming pool that had not yet been filled with water. The collision of his body and the water surface caused a huge splash, and a red flower bloomed on the surface of the swimming pool.]

[Zaimokuza held the Blue Dragon Staff in his right hand, and sank to the bottom of the pool. Red blood flowed out from the wound on his chest into the water. In the sunlight shining through the water, the blood flowed out like a red curtain swaying in the water, beautiful to the point of being almost eerie.]

[So strong, too strong...]

【Zaimokuza sank weakly to the bottom of the pool, the scene in front of him gradually blurred, many past memories emerged in his mind, and many people's faces appeared in front of him, and he also knew that this was a revolving lantern.】

[This time, it seems like I’m really going to die. ]

[He smiled helplessly in his heart. As expected, the setting that a hero will not be defeated by the same enemy for the second time is a lie written in a special effects drama. Reality is so cruel and brutal. If you can't win, you can't win. No matter what reasons you have, it's useless.]

[Sorry, Minister, I may disappoint your expectations.]

[Zaimokuza recalled the words he heard yesterday when he was half conscious, and sighed silently. In the end, he still couldn't——]

【Um? 】

[He suddenly remembered the note that Yukinoshita Yukino had left on the bedside cabinet when he woke up today, and the long sentence that was a bit difficult to read.]

[“When an evil creature appears, he transforms its various skills into invisible forms, and calms the evil warrior like flowing water”…”]

【Zaimokuza murmured this translated inscription, and the sound became blurred and distorted in the water, like a broken film frame, or like the first cry he made when he was born into the world in the distant past, shaking his inner world.】

[His hundred skills... formless... the form of flowing water... flowing water? ]

[Flowing water is flowing water...water?]

【Zaimokuza couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and close his palm. Although his hand was empty, he felt as if he was holding something. That thing was flowing through his hand, invisible and formless, but he could really feel its existence.】

[That is water. At this moment, I am sitting on the wooden seat at the bottom of the swimming pool. I can clearly feel this thing that I have never felt before, but it is real and exists around me.]

[Water is one of the indispensable elements that make up the world. All life born on this planet originated from the ocean. The ocean gave birth to the first life, and this first life came from the ocean to the land, and then multiplied and evolved to form the current world. From this point of view, every life form cannot be separated from the cause and effect of water. ]

[Water has never left this world, but few people can touch it so closely and truly feel its omnipresence. ]

[“Water… calms evil with its flowing form.”]

[Zaimokuza was stunned as he felt the world filled with water in front of him. His dim blue compound eyes gradually lit up, and the bottom of the swimming pool was like a falling star shining with blue light.]

[“I… understand. This is the blue form—the real power!”]

【Om—】

[At the moment of his enlightenment, a blue light suddenly bloomed, illuminating the underwater world. The spirit stone on Zaimokuza's waist made a fierce buzzing sound that had never been heard before. The blue light rotating in the spirit stone on his belt exceeded the limit at this moment, as if it had turned into a lake emitting azure light, which reflected and embraced everything in front of him.]

“Impossible, what on earth is this——!?”

Xu Guoliang slowly stood up from his chair, staring in shock at the blue light curtain in front of him. The blue light shone through the lenses of his glasses, and a familiar yet unfamiliar figure was reflected through the lenses, engraved in his shrinking pupils as he gradually stood up.
