Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

After saying hello, Rias in front of him smiled and walked over to sit next to Sid.

"Do you hate us a little bit?"

"?"

Shocked by Rias's sudden words, Sid didn't know what to say, so he chose to remain silent.

"I'm really sorry, Sid, but there's nothing we can do. The competition will start tomorrow. For the time being, we can only work with your sister to improve our combat effectiveness and avoid any problems during the competition. We can only let you stay here for the next two days and let you join after the competition is over."

No, I don't feel wronged at all. There is only one outcome, and that is that we go our separate ways.

By then Cao Cao will definitely jump out to cause trouble, and then I will find a chance to die and resurrect, and then we can go our separate ways, so there is no point in saying so much now.

But after seeing Rias' actions, Sid finally understood why Rias suddenly came to his side, because she was worried that he would feel that he was being ignored and would have bad thoughts about them in his heart.

"How could that be possible, Rias-senpai? On the contrary, I am very grateful to you."

“Really?

Sid, you don't have to lie. I am not a master who cannot accept complaints from subordinates. I hope you can tell me what you really think. "

"No, Rias-senpai, this is what I really think. I know myself well. Under normal circumstances, I would never be chosen by you to become your follower. I can only say that I was chosen by you thanks to my sister. How can I not be grateful in this situation?"

Smiling and shaking his head, Sid tried hard to confuse Rias, he was already annoyed by this conversation.

"Sid, you don't have to say that about yourself. I did take you in as my dependent because of your sister, but you don't need to belittle yourself. Believe in yourself. Sid, you are excellent."

?

Seeing Rias suddenly excited, Sid didn't know why, but he chose to obey.

"Ahahahaha, I was the one who was depressed on the Internet, sorry, sorry, I won't do it again.

It's just that this is the first time someone other than my sister has said this to me. I'm used to it. Thank you, Rias-senpai."

"Habit!"

For some reason, Rias ignored Sid's joke, as if she heard something she couldn't accept, and her expression changed.

"Um, Rias...senpai?"

"Ah, what's wrong? Sid, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, Rias-senpai, I just noticed that you didn't look well, so I called you."

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something.

Ahem, Sid, don't worry. Although there were some unexpected incidents in this competition and it was a bit of a big fuss, you don't have to fight because you haven't completely integrated the demon chess piece.

And because this competition has become a big deal, not only my brother but also the other four demons will be present, including the developer of the demon chess pieces, His Highness Beelzebub.

I will then beg His Highness Beelzebub to find a way to help you fully integrate."

"Oh, thank you very much, senior. I will go to the other side for training first. Good luck to you."

After saying that, Sid hurriedly left the scene and ran to the training ground on the other side to train, leaving Rias alone there.

Rias was not in the mood to pay attention to Sid at the moment. She glanced at the people who were training in the field, and then ran downstairs to train with them.

Sid was right in his guess. The reason why Rias came this time was the same as he thought, because she was afraid that he would have some bad emotions.

After all, it is training for everyone, but he was allowed to train alone. It is really hard not to think that this is cold violence.

But there is really no way around it. When there is suddenly one more person in a team, it takes time and training to develop tacit understanding. Otherwise, let alone +1 combat power, if there is a lack of tacit cooperation, the combat power may even be -1.

Just adding one more person takes a lot of time, let alone adding two people.

But the problem is that the time is too short. It has only been three days since joining, and tomorrow is the time when the competition starts. In this case, Sid's sister Claire can only join in first to cultivate team tacit understanding. After the competition, Sid can join the training to cultivate tacit understanding.

From a rational point of view, there is nothing wrong with Rias's actions.

Since Sid has not fused the demon chess piece, there will be no need to fight at that time.

Spend three days training with five people, and then fight with five people together.

Spend three days training with six people, and then five of them fight together.

In terms of both difficulty and benefits, the former exceeds the latter.

So do we even need to choose which option to choose?

Sid himself was well aware of this; after all, this was probably the reason why he was able to take leave so easily yesterday.

After all, to put it bluntly, he is probably the weakest among all the players in the competition, with an apparent combat power of only 5b-. It is really difficult for him to keep up with their cooperation.

Claire is very strong, so she was able to cooperate with Rias and her group for three days, but Cid...

Is there anything special about him?

No!

On the surface, Sid doesn't have any outstanding qualities. In terms of speed, he is probably only on par with Kitty. In terms of strength, he is at the bottom, not to mention magic.

It can be said that in the swordsman profession, compared only with Rias's followers, Yuto Kiba and Claire are Cid's superiors in all aspects.

"So, I was right, I was not wrong, this game was an opportunity that I couldn't miss.

Come on, Rias, use this match as an opportunity to shake off the labels you have been given."

Rias said this and walked towards Kiba Yuto and the others, her eyes firm as if to encourage herself.

Chapter 86: Backup Plan

It's over, Barbie Q.

"Whoo~"

This wave seems to be really going to fail.

"Snapped!"

Cao Cao, why haven't you come yet? I'm counting on you to help me create chaos.

"Boom boom boom~"

The sudden violent vibration from the ground interrupted Sid's wandering thoughts. He instantly adjusted his center of gravity to make himself stand firm. Sid looked at the wooden stake in front of him that he had blown up.

This... was blown up by him?

should be.

"Please, fellow residents of Genshin Island..."

The broadcast from outside informed Sid that the shock this time was not only in the training ground, but in the entire Genshin Island.

After some internal estimation, he concluded that the force with which he had struck the wooden stake just now should have been roughly equal to that of a small meteorite impact.

Well... he was lucky that he didn't get a medium-sized meteorite, otherwise he would have to put on a shadow vest and sink to the bottom of the sea to prop up the island.

As for why the training ground did not collapse, we can only say that all the force penetrated and attacked the foundation.

After looking around and confirming that this was a regular training ground without any surveillance, Sid stretched out his hand on the scrapped wooden stake, and bursts of tiny magic power passed through his body and spread onto the stake.

Done, he used magic to strengthen his body and accidentally broke the wooden stake. This excuse is very good and perfect.

This was a rare mistake made by Sid. He should have felt sad about it, but thanks to this mistake, he got rid of his anxiety.

There was no other way. How could he not be panicked when he just learned from Rias that someone would be treating him on the day of the competition? He must have been faking his illness.

The creator of the original devil's chess piece, Beelzebub, one of the four great devils, Sirzechs's rival, one of the top fifteen strongest men in the world, etc. How powerful he is.

Although I definitely can't beat him in a fight, it is highly unlikely that I can fool Rias like I did.

Originally, Rias said it might take more than ten days to fuse, but now that's gone, and the latest it can take is tomorrow night.

In other words, he only has one chance, and he only has this one chance to reasonably remove the devil's chess piece.

The only problem is that this opportunity can only be created by Cao Cao.

And in this crisis situation, you want him to trust Cao Cao?

No, he had to think of a way and not put all his eggs in one basket.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Cao Cao. He is very familiar with Cao Cao’s nature as a problem child. Mainly, he is worried that Cao Cao will really become a coward.

After all, the underworld government went crazy, and after a wave of taunts, most of the top fifteen in the world were invited. It was understandable that Cao Cao was scared by this lineup.

It's normal for Cao Cao to be cowardly and want to protect himself. If the normal price for Cao Cao was not that his status as a supporting role would be in trouble, unfortunately there is no if, so this is very abnormal.

He must be prepared to implement plan B and plan C if something goes wrong, because Cao Cao cannot be trusted.

Or... he should go to the underworld now to find Beelzebub and beat him half to death so that he can't attend the game tomorrow night?

No, there might not be enough time to find the person, and he is too busy to be in two places at once, so it is possible that someone will come to find him while he is looking for someone.

Should we do something now to get Rias into trouble and make her miss the game tomorrow?

No, things have gotten too serious now. If Rias disappears at this critical moment, it will only attract the four great demons.

Then there is only one way.

Sid's eyes sharpened.

If Cao Cao doesn't take action, then he will take action himself, transform into a shadow, mess up the game, and make the whole thing come to nothing.

On the contrary, if Cao Cao takes action, it will depend on the situation, whether you are helping the devil or Cao Cao.

It doesn’t matter if he is too busy to handle everything, he will go to the toilet.

After finalizing a few backup plans and thinking about the appearance of the Shadow Master tomorrow, the training time is almost over. Looking from the window of the training ground, the sun has already set.

I said goodbye to my sister and Rias and the others. I have to say, it feels great to be off work while others are working overtime.

I took out my cell phone on the way and fooled around with Aoi Asagi, and most of the journey was gone in this way.

Although everyone has known about tomorrow's game, the road is not crowded with people like the stars on TV.

After all, it is well known that people only pay attention to the first place, not the second place. In addition, the news spread in too short a time, so no one recognized him as the weakest on paper.

As for after the game...it's a question how many people can remember this unworthy game, and it's also a question whether his current popularity can be maintained at one thousandth, not to mention that by then he will have parted ways with Rias.

He has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of situation. His experience has taught him that his current popularity is all supported by Rias. Without this relationship, no one would pay attention to him as a supporting role.

When he reached the door of his house, Sid stopped and looked at the house of the Xiao brothers and sisters on the left with an expression of confusion and surprise.

Akatsuki Kojou and Akatsuki Nagisa went out yesterday and they haven’t come back yet!!!

To be honest, Sid was a little worried. After being neighbors for more than a year, this was the first time he saw the brother and sister not coming home for so long.

Forget it. If he doesn’t come back tomorrow, I’ll try calling him and if he doesn’t answer, I’ll report it to Na Yue-chan and the security team and ask them for help.

“Crunch~~”

The heavy door was pushed open, and what Sid saw was Asia sitting quietly on the sofa with her hands on her knees.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Asia turned to look at the source of the sound, with a moist light in her eyes.

After confirming that it was Sid himself, Asia got down from the sofa and hugged Sid.

"Mr. Sid, I missed you so much."

A muffled, crying voice came from Asia, who was buried in Sid's chest.

After hugging Asia subconsciously, Sid carefully glanced at the spotless living room, the food Asia had made on the dining table, and the sofa where Asia had just sat, before looking at Asia.

Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the growling sound coming from Asia's stomach.

As if she knew how embarrassing this was, Asia's face quickly turned red.

Without saying anything, Sid just pulled Asia to the dining table. After they finished eating, Sid looked at Asia. Asia became visibly nervous when Sid looked at her.

"Asia, you are sick!"

"?"

Asia thought she had heard it wrong, and Sid realized that there was something wrong with his statement and quickly changed his words.

"Asia, I mean, what did you do today?"

After understanding what Sid meant, Asia quickly told him about her day.

After listening to Asia's day, Sid was sure that Asia was ill, with a mental illness.

All day today, Asia actually just prayed, cleaned, went out to buy groceries and cooked. It's not that there's anything wrong with that, but apart from these, Asia didn't have any personal behavior of her own.

This is another young Seven Shadows. I have to find a chance to enlighten Asia.

"Asia..."
