[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

This is not the first time Byodoin has come to the Dark Budo Conference.

Over the years, thanks to the re-strengthening of the seals in the demon world, the monsters that can come to the human world have become weaker and weaker. The practitioners in the human world have also worked hard to practice because of the catastrophe more than ten years ago, and gradually gained the upper hand in the struggle.Gradually, even the once feast of monsters, such as the Dark Martial Arts Conference, began to appear human beings.

In the beginning it was just humans in the real dark world.Gradually, the boundary between the dark world and ordinary practitioners became blurred, and humans with special abilities called themselves people in the dark world.So priestesses such as priestesses, servants, and monks also began to appear at the Dark Martial Arts Conference—of course, those who are truly successful and famous will not come, that would be too ostentatious.But what about the juniors in the family?

What humans are best at is pushing an inch.

With the acquiescence of the spirit world and the watchful eye of the demon world, the Dark Martial Arts Conference is no longer the monster feast it used to be.

Originally a good competition has become a practice activity for practitioners, then this competition has lost its own meaning, and one day it will cease to exist.

Now, Byodoin is in the ring, facing the opponent he defeated two years ago.

"What, do you want to lose again?" he said.

The mermaid showed a ferocious expression: "I will tear you apart!"

Byodoin sneered and raised his hand.

The pirate appeared, with black spiritual power.

Byodoin's blond hair was blowing automatically without wind.

"You have already completed this trick?!" The mermaid's eyes widened.

Byodoin was actually too lazy to speak, but he knew that language was also a form of attack.

He crossed his arms to make the pirates behind him clearer, as if he was leading a real fleet: "Ah, yes. Who made you mermaids chase after you, so it's understandable for me to charge a little interest?"

He swung his arm down, and the pirate drew his sword.

The arena is not an advantage for mermaids.

A mermaid using two legs is equivalent to sealing a weapon - the tail.And there is no water here.If you put an enchantment around the arena and use water magic, you can create a favorable environment out of thin air.They did the same thing two years ago, when a whole team of mermaids...

Happened to meet Byodoin family.

At that time, the leader of the team was Byodoin Phoenix, the first heir of the Byodoin family.

The result of that match...

Yutu took hold of the harpoon.

When he raised his hand, it was a water bomb, which was sent flying by the pirates of Byodoin.

He thought, he had prepared for this game for two years.

Hasn't the result changed in two years? !

He rushed up again.

This reminds the House of Equality of Justice to recall what happened two years ago.

He has always sneered at the so-called first heir, but he will not shirk the responsibility that should be given to him.

He led the team to participate in the Dark Martial Arts Conference two years ago.The first opponent is the mermaid team.Not the current mermaid team, but a whole team of mermaids.These mermaids even made arrangements for every match, until the final main battle, filling the entire arena with water.

He almost died here.But the fact is that he is still alive.He crawled out of hell.

This game changed him.

It's not just his status in the family, but more, it's the daily life where he can still divide the boundary with the dark world.

Thinking of this, Byodoin narrowed its eyes in annoyance.

He has deep tyrannical emotions in his mind.Most of these emotions are involuntary.And now he needs to vent.

He reached out his hand to the mermaid, and squeezed it tightly again.

Swish.

The pirates behind him took this as a signal to attack.

The pirate captain and his crew went on the attack.

The sound of the trumpet, the sound of the waves.

The mermaid seemed to hear the call from his hometown, and his expression became dazed.

This is... no, this is in the ring!

But he didn't have time to wake up any more.

The pirate who rushed up to him swung his sword.

blood.

Niwang opened his eyes wide.

His fingertips were cold.Because the scene in front of me was too cruel.

To be honest, he had killed monsters before, but the monsters that were called "minions" by the white fox could not even bleed, and dissipated under the impact of a large amount of spiritual power like molecular decomposition.This has always given him wrong ideas, until now.

It's blood, just like humans.

And that mermaid is also in the form of a human, at best, the face shape is a bit strange.

He was covered in cuts and bruises, his whole body was divided into several pieces, and he was still staring at Byodoin.

Nioh reflexively closed his eyes and opened them again.

This terrible scene did not last long.

The spiritual power of Byodoin was shaken.

His pirate raised his hands too.

Then the light shrouded the entire arena, and the blood and his trophies all dissipated in the light.

It wasn't until Byodoin walked in front of King Ni that he realized that he was holding his breath.

He thought his complexion was really ugly, that's why Byodoin stopped in front of him.

"Little devil, do you understand now? This is not a tennis game."

"Puri."

The impact of momentum reminded him of the situation when he stood on the opposite side of the court and faced Byodoin.

He couldn't really let Byodoin become his psychological shadow, so he forced himself to recall that game and the scene that made him lose his mind over and over again.

It is the same?

The fluctuation of spiritual power is the same.

But the breath is different.

But how can the same trick not affect each other?

So, during the tennis match, the Byodoin Institute's control that made him vaguely feel wrong, so this is it?

He originally thought that it was the Court of Equality that was suppressing its power and was merciful.

The fact is that he is showing mercy, but the way of showing mercy...is a different kind.

In a best-of-five match, the White Fox team has already won three games, which is considered a promotion, and they don't need to play the remaining two games.

Long Ya, who had been sitting in her seat for a long time, stood up with a regretful expression: "Well, don't I have a chance to play?"

Nioh blinked in confusion.

The white fox whispered in his ear: "The entrustment I made, in addition to the basic remuneration, is calculated as an additional subsidy based on the number of games played."

Nioh: "..."

Think about it, why not let the "foreign aid" play?

The white fox's money is rounded to equal his own money!

Although the part belonging to the future cannot be overdrawn in advance, he also feels a little heartache watching the white fox spend money?

After the game is over, it is natural to leave the field and go back to rest.The second round is tomorrow.For the sake of fairness, the opponents in the second round will be re-drawn.That was the next day too.

Although he is the leader of the team, Nioh knows that he has no control over the team.

After all, the black hand behind the scenes is the cute white fox squatting on his shoulder all day long.

"Let's break up," he said.

Byodoin nodded, turned and left, still carrying evil spirits on his body.Niwang was a little curious, but he was afraid of seeing the scene he guessed.No, it's not that I'm afraid of the Byodoin, but the shock effect just now hasn't completely faded away.He needs a little time to digest.

No wonder the white fox always said I was too weak.I am indeed weak.

With that in mind, King Ni turned his head and saw another person with a worse complexion than him.

"Are you okay? Watching the moon." He asked.

Watching the moon is like waking up from a dream.

With a white face, he raised his hands around his bangs, and forced a smile: "Hmm, what happened to me? Ah, yes, the game is over, right? Then I will go to investigate and collect information about other investigations. Team information."

Nioh: Are you really all right?

Is it really okay to let him walk alone on the island?

King Ni hesitated for a moment, but did not stop Guanyue.

One is that he has no position to stop it, and the other is that he still needs to solve a small trouble.

Hiji, who was wearing training clothes, came to him with a serious face: "Senior, please tell me how to combine spiritual power and tennis."

"...Puri?"

"The one you used in the arena just now is the realm of selflessness, right?"

Why did it suddenly become honorifics and honorifics?

Nioh, who felt a heavy burden, weighed his words before opening his mouth: "Actually, I can only play tennis."

"……Eh?"

"The reason why I used the state of selflessness in the ring is that I only know how to play tennis. How to combine spiritual power with tennis... I don't know how to explain it."

Even though he said that, Hiyoshi showed an expression of enlightenment instead.

He bowed to King Ren: "Thank you for your advice, senior."

Nioh: I always feel like I accidentally did something I shouldn't have done.

Hanging Island is not suitable for loitering, and Nioh is not in the mood for loitering.

He took the white fox off his shoulders and hugged him into his arms.

After walking out of the arena, there are many strange-looking monsters on the street.As soon as Nioh saw them, he thought of the mermaid cut open by the pirates of Byodoin Temple.No, no, can't keep thinking about that.

"I'm really going to have a psychological shadow." He whispered.

"Look out, shouldn't you be mentally prepared before you come?"

"It's not this kind of psychological preparation." King Ren stroked the white fox's tail.

He now realizes the difference between himself and others.

What he saw, whether it was Byodoin Temple, Hiyoshi, or even Guanyue, all revealed a kind of "family tradition".That's not the point, the point is...

He always thought that it was natural for spiritual power to be used in tennis.But everyone else doesn't seem to think so?

So if he continues to use tennis to deal with every game, what will be the result?

Confusing everyday with non-daily?

No, it doesn't.

The difference in starting point determines the difference in development.He is used to using spiritual power in tennis, and he has a basic system for thinking and using spiritual power, but now he needs to make a detour if he wants to use spiritual power to fight.What's more, his fighting ability is at best the level of a street fight, and he has never learned kendo or martial arts. Let him move his fists and feet, and his lethality is really not as good as tennis.And even if he learns to use tennis to "play rough" in these few games and returns to the court, will he start playing violent tennis?

Nor will it.

He has already decided what kind of tennis he should play, and has a non-short-term plan.

But after analyzing it like this, he couldn't find the meaning that White Fox must let him participate in this competition.

That means that one step of the analysis, or possibly every step, has gone wrong.

Where is the problem?

ask directly?

King Ren lowered his head and glanced at the white fox, dispelling the idea.

Forget it, isn't he not clear about his own virtue?

Honestly?

That's all conditional.

Another angle?

From the perspective of the white fox...

To be honest, Nioh still can't understand why the white fox is so obsessed with his tennis skills.He has always felt that his liking for tennis is within a certain limit, and his pursuit of victory cannot reach the level of obsession.To put it bluntly, he does not have such strong ambitions in tennis.

And suppose the white fox is trying to stimulate his ambition, what is the use?

Even if he reaches the apex in tennis, what can he prove?No, it should be said, if he reaches the top in tennis, what can he bring to the White Foxes?

No matter how many years have passed by "Nio Masaharu", it is impossible to make selfless dedication, so all this is always beneficial to the white fox in the end.

Nioh was still thinking about these questions when he returned to the hotel.

He walked the two streets of the island, but no monster came to provoke him.Hangshou Island has rules during the game. Monsters must abide by the rules and cannot hurt each other. It is a taboo to hurt people with hands. If they are found, they will be kicked out of the island directly.

Of course, the island is not suitable for loitering.No scenery, no commercial street.

Thinking about expending energy, Nioh came back to his senses and prepared to go to the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel to have something to eat.

He registered the key card and took the dinner plate.

The hotel's restaurant is self-service, and Renwang picked and picked some barbecue and bread slices.He walked in with the dinner plate, and when he looked up, he felt that the figure in front of him looked familiar.So is the hairstyle.

"Guanyue? You stand here..." He paused, when he saw the short monster blocked in front of Guanyue, and the monster's outstretched hand.

Is this harassment?

Pick your chin so close...

"King Ren." Guanyue took a step back, her expression a bit ugly.

And that monster has already jumped away, holding a tray in its hand, its face is as stiff as a mask, but its voice is like a child: "Another person is here! Humans are going to occupy Hangshou Island! Hehe Hahahaha."

Neuropathy?

King Ren frowned.

"When you meet together, you just share a table together" is not in line with Nioh's style.

During the training camp, he was in the same group as Guan Yue, and also in the same dormitory.But Guanyue seems to be particularly persistent towards Buer, so Nioh didn't get to know Guanyue well during the ten days of training.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

Guanyue shook her head and forced a smile: "I'm going back to rest first, excuse me."

"Puri."

On the second day, the eight teams that advanced from the first round regrouped on the field for a draw.

The result of the first round of the competition was a split between the human team and the monster team, and it happened to be four human teams and four monster teams, so the draw again also chose the opposite method.

But this time, the opponent of the Renwang team is the Zodiac team.

"Zodiac?" Nioh looked at the opponent who appeared on the opposite side.

The team named after the zodiac can be seen from the appearance of tiger, ox and horse.The leader of the team looks exactly like a human, is it a monkey?No, it's more like a monkey, it's——

"Yo yo yo, I saw the familiar little brother again."

The opponent's "forward" who came up to the stage with a stiff expression was clearly the monster he had seen in the restaurant the day before.And he pointed to Guanyue: "Brother, do you want to have an in-depth exchange?"

Guanyue hesitated for a few seconds, and stood up with a cold face when King Ren wanted to say not to force it.

How do magicians fight?

Nioh has been curious for a long time.

He knew that magic power and spiritual power were different systems, so he always had some imagination about the identity of Guanyue's "magician".

Such as a large cloak, or, for example, a wand.

Is it a wand like in a fairy tale, or a small wand like in the movie "Harry Potter"?

Can you chant a spell?Or will it transform?Or a magic circle?

He looks at the field.

Guanyue in the arena stretched out her hands, as if in an embracing gesture.He gradually rose and became tiptoe-like, and as the body rose, the light also glowed from the center of his outstretched hands.

A wand appeared in the light.

"Oh oh oh oh, my little brother's movements are so graceful?" The hands of the monster on the opposite side were as soft as rubber, and they were twisted into various shapes.He stood still, obviously waiting for Guanyue's attack: "Then let me see, what kind of attack effect will such a graceful movement have?"

"What are you waiting for! Come on!" his teammates shouted impatiently.

The monkey monster turned somersault: "Don't worry, my brother is so cute..."

Guanyue snorted.

Holding the staff, he opened his mouth and seemed to make a sound, and he seemed to be singing.

"wind"

A strange syllable, but Nioh recognized the meaning of this syllable.

And after the voice fell, the shape drawn by the magic wand in the air also fell the last stroke.

wow.

Suddenly, the wind picked up, and in an extremely fast, almost instantaneous time, the wind changed from form to formlessness, and then turned into several vortices and rushed towards the monkey monster.

"Oh, I really like the wind~" the monkey monster jumped up.

He held it in the air, as if he was grabbing some branch, and swung from one side of the whirlwind to the other, and then to the other side, and after a few ups and downs, he perfectly missed the whirlwind of the spiral attack.

Guanyue frowned.

Seeing the speed of the whirlwind slow down, he stretched out his hand again and drew a magic circle in the air with his wand.

"rain"

As soon as the rain came, a small dark cloud quickly shrouded the ring, and changed its direction rapidly with the jumping of the monkey monster.

Clap la la la.

The raindrops quickly penetrated the dark clouds and fell.

"Wow, but what's the use of rain?" As soon as the monkey monster finished speaking, he found that Guanyue's hand didn't stop.

He is still drawing a magic circle.

"Snow"

The wind that hadn't completely disappeared swept through the rain that was falling, and then it froze out of thin air.

rustle.

It is not so much snow as ice edges.

Chasing and attacking monkey monsters like knives.

"It's so dangerous, so dangerous." Despite saying this, the monkey monster's movements of dodging the attack were still light.

He stopped in mid-air while holding onto a "twig" that didn't exist in the air, raised his hand and exaggeratedly wiped his sweat: "It's too dangerous."

Danger?

Guanyue frowned.

"But brother, your move speed is too slow." The last syllable was still floating in the air, Guan Yue lost the figure of the monkey monster in a blink of an eye.

Where did you go? !

not good!

He hastily took a step back, raised his hand and barely blocked the monkey monster's attack.

The hand holding the wand trembled.

"Ah, I almost got caught~" The monkey monster let go of his hands, and at a strange angle, stretched and twisted his two hands around Guanyue, and slammed Guanyue's face.

"Hmm." Guanyue leaned back in pain, and swiped the wand in her hand.

"Still, too slow, slightly!"

The expected magic didn't work, and the strange, stiff face of the monkey monster suddenly appeared in front of him.

Then Guanyue found herself entangled, by the elongated arms and legs of the monkey monster.

The monkey monster whose limbs were twisted like rubber showed a strange expression, and got closer and closer: "Brother, let's..."

"Go away!" Guanyue forcefully.

He hit his knees, turned his wrist, and the wand turned into a stick, stabbing the monkey monster's back hard.

This physical attack actually made the monkey monster let go with a cry.

Then he swiped the moon-watching magic wand.

"fly"

He also flew up, lifted into the air in an instant, and then walked a diagonal line in the air and landed in another direction of the ring.

He raised his hand and wiped the wound on his face. Of course there was no blood, but it was a little red and swollen.

This scene of flowing clouds and flowing water left King Ni dumbfounded.

"As expected of senior Guanyue." Riji sat on the side, still wearing exercise clothes.

King Ren blinked: "Watching the moon... is also famous?"

"Fame?" Riji thought for a while, "It's not so much Senior Guanyue's own reputation, but the reputation of his older sister, Guanyue Gefan."

Watching the moon and singing the sails?

Speaking of...

King Ren lowered his head: "What did you do to get Guanyue to participate in this competition?"

"I didn't do anything. It was his sister who was worried about him and let him come." White Fox said.

Worried about him and let him come?Why is this logic wrong?

"It's like I always feel that you are too weak, so I have to ask you to come. I am so earnest, but you still don't appreciate it." The white fox changed his voice and said in a pitiful tone on purpose.

King Ren shook, and grabbed the white fox's tail with ease. The fur is very soft, and it feels very comfortable to brush it against the palm of his hand: "Forget it, such words."

The white fox laughed twice.

Nioh raised his head again, and he looked at Guanyue who was posing in the court: "The battle of magic seems to be stronger than spiritual power. But what is Guanyue taboo about? This is not an ordinary tennis game. It's the Dark Martial Arts Conference, so he won't hide his strength anymore, right?"

"Hidden strength? Why, you see that he has reservations?"

"Feeling. Feeling..." King Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, "There should be something."

The opponent also had reservations, and so did Guanyue.

The opponent is probably out of teasing mentality.

And watching the moon...

Guan Yue changed his expression.

He is completely different from when he was standing on the tennis court.

There was fierceness in the eyes, but the expression lost the usual calculation and ease.

"Oh, brother, are you finally going to be serious?" The monkey monster swung a couple more times, although it was making a face, but its facial expression was still stiff, looking extraordinarily weird, "I'm super looking forward to it~"

Under such provocative words, Guan Yue silently clenched her wand tightly.
