On the Compatibility of Heroes and Mafia
Chapter 20
'Ah Gang, after leaving you, I'm not as strong as I thought I was.'
Preface
Midnight Hero swung her whip, and the sound it made attracted the attention of the 42 contestants.
"The first round is over. Everyone did well."
She first encouraged them, then …
"However, the next round will be a test for all of you.
Use your strength to your heart's content. Let the media and the audience go crazy for you! "
When she spoke of passion, she looked at the pairs of eyes below the stage. She waved her whip, and the big screen behind her turned.
"The second round is the horseback battle!"
"Horseback battle? This time, it's not a personal battle."
"Yeah, I wonder what kind of mode it will be."
...
...
The contestants who passed the first round looked at the big words on the big screen.
They started to discuss and think.
"Attention!
Next, I will briefly explain the rules of this round. "
Midnight shouted, and everyone stopped talking.
"42 contestants. Two to four people are free to form a 'horse'. It's roughly the same as the usual horseback battle.
The only difference is that each group will be given a corresponding number of points according to the results of the previous round. "
"It's similar to the entrance exam. It's simple and easy to understand the rules."
Tail White held his chin and said.
"According to the ranking of the members, each team's points will be different. On this point, you need to consider carefully."
Iida, who was at the side, pushed his glasses up and added.
In addition to this, other people were also whispering their own opinions in the buzzing discussion.
"You guys … Don't interrupt when the teacher is explaining!"
Midnight's head bloomed as she lectured.
"Ahem, in short, your points will increase from the last 5 points to the 41st place with 10 points. As for the first place …"
Everyone turned to look at the remains.
"It's 10 million points!"
Midnight pointed with her whip.
"Everyone, you have to work hard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Skeleton with a red light in their eyes. It was as if they were shooting infrared rays towards Skeleton.
'10 million points!'
"In other words, as long as you get this score, no matter what your previous ranking is …"
"You'll be first!"
As for the skeleton that was being targeted, it stood there leisurely as if it was in a paradise.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a confident smile. He looked around, and whether it was the contestants from the other classes or his own class, he swept his gaze over them one by one.
It was a demonstration, as if to express that.
No matter what, if you want to challenge the highest point? That's not a problem, but you have to be careful not to be devoured instead.
'Kufufu, it's one thing if I don't want to abuse noobs, but if I really get snatched away … I don't want to lose face like that.'
With such thoughts in mind, a rare trace of seriousness appeared in Skeleton's eyes.
"Oh oh oh!
Everyone saw it!
Skeleton was in such a relaxed state!
The first place winner, who was heavily surrounded, did not seem to be affected at all. Who knew how he would face this predicament next?!
Let's wait and see! "
Taking advantage of the hot topic, Mike's heroic words drew out the expectations of the audience.
The atmosphere was fiery!
"As long as you enter Xiong Ying, you will be constantly instilled with this sentence. Those who strive for progress will be subjected to an even harsher test, which is' Plus'.
Ultra’!”,
Teacher Midnight blinked,
"The competition time limit is fifteen minutes. It's worth noting that regardless of whether you lose points or your warhorse collapses … As long as the time is not up, you will not be disqualified."
"Next, the fifteen minutes of teaming up begins now!"
Everyone was stunned at first, then they began to move.
Skeleton first looked at Boom, who was beside him.
"Skeleton, I'm sorry … I also want to try and surpass you."
Boom turned his head slightly in embarrassment.
"Kufufu, Boom, I'm very happy to have such thoughts. Since that's the case, do your best."
"Yes!
I will. "
Boom smiled faintly, ignoring the burning gaze of a certain man in the stands, and turned around to look for his teammates.
Skeleton glanced at a certain person in the stands who seemed to have a strong aura, but was actually emitting resentment, "If my son doesn't look at me, I won't be happy!"
'What's wrong with that person? Kufufufu …'
"That … Skeleton, do you want to form a team?"
At this moment, a voice came from beside Skeleton.
Skeleton turned his head and looked at Tail White who raised his hand weakly to ask a question.
"Kufufu, is it okay?
If you form a team with me, you'll be targeted. "
When Tail White heard this, he said in a firm tone.
"No problem!
I trust Skeleton's strength very much.
I also feel very assured to form a team with you. "
,
"Oh ya … Then I'll leave it to you.",
"Assured … because of me …",
Skeleton agreed in a daze.
"Then let's do our best together, Skeleton."
It was not difficult to hear the happiness in his tone.
"Okay."
,
"That …", at this moment, another voice came.
"How …!?",
As soon as Tail White responded, his eyes became empty.
Skeleton snapped his fingers, and Tail White recovered in the next moment.
"How, how did I …",
"You were controlled by this person just now."
Skeleton's eyes caught Xin Cao who was looking here in surprise, and explained to Tail White.
Then, Skeleton pretended to ask,
"That's your 'personality'?",
Xin Cao came back to his senses, became vigilant, and replied,
"Yes."
"Kufufu, very good ability. How about it?
Do you want to form a team with us? "
Skeleton invited him to form a team.
"What, what did you say?
You just knew my personality, but you still invited me to form a team with you? "
Xin Cao asked in a daze.
"Is there a problem?",
Skeleton said flatly.
"… Why?"
Skeleton looked at Xin Cao, whose expression could not be seen clearly.
"Because I like you.
Your personality has great potential. "
"Ha, the potential to be an enemy?!"
Xin Cao laughed self-deprecatingly, and lost his composure as he growled in a low voice.
Tail White watched quietly from the side without interrupting, but when he heard this, he wagged his tail, obviously having an idea.
After Skeleton heard the roar, she shook her head.
"I'm worried. If an enemy wields a knife and kills a person, do you think that knife is evil?"
Xin Cao, who obviously had a brain, heard this and his shoulders trembled.
"… No …" Something seemed to be loosening in his tone.
"Then, your personality is that knife.
There is no black or white in power, it just depends on how the person uses it.
No matter how powerful a power is, it should be respected when used to save people, and no matter how weak and harmless a power is, it should not be tolerated when used to kill people. "
"I …" Xin Cao raised his head.
"Kufufu, so no matter what, action is the most powerful proof."
"I'm in."
His tone obviously began to have a pleasant rhythm, which was called conviction.
"Welcome."
Skeleton nodded.
"Nice to meet you, student."
Tail White saw that it was over, so he went forward and nodded to greet them.
"Ah, hello, don't be a stranger. Just call me Xin Cao.
Also, just now … I'm sorry. "
Xin Cao tilted his head and apologized embarrassedly.
Tail White smiled gently and waved his hand.
"I'm fine.
Just call me Tail White, Xin Cao. "
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Then, Xin Cao said to Skeleton.
"So, do we need to add more members?
Or … "
The Skeleton looked at it and replied.
"That's it. You'll know the fourth person in a while."
"Okay." x2.
"By the way, Skeleton, just now, how did you remove and resist my personality? Can you tell me?"
Xin Cao asked curiously.
"Kufufu, there's nothing I can't tell you.
Because my spiritual power is far superior to yours, that's all. "
"Spiritual power …"
,
"Ah, my ability is illusion, and it consumes spiritual power to activate it. The more delicate and long-lasting the illusion, the more it consumes."
"Then …"
Xin Cao was a little speechless. After all, 'What is spiritual power?
How do I train it to increase it? 'This was already considered private.
"Kufufu, spiritual power, usually refers to a person's consciousness, energy, vitality, and so on. It can be considered as something idealistic."
Skeleton turned to Xin Cao and said, "You can train it.
"This can also be trained. Let's make it simple. First, train your body well. The strength of your body will directly affect the strength of your mind power.
As for the rest, we'll talk about it when you know how to walk. "
Xin Cao listened carefully. After it was over, he bowed to Skeleton solemnly.
"Thank you for your guidance."
"Kufufu, you're welcome. Lastly, be careful. Spiritual power is also dangerous. If your spiritual power is too strong, it will crush your body. So, you know the importance of your body."
"Yes!"
"Now, you two look like a teacher and a student."
Tail White sighed.
"The scariest thing is, I don't think there's anything wrong …"
"Kufufu, there's nothing strange. There's an ancient and mysterious country on the other side of the sea in the east. There's a saying that a teacher should reach first."
(That's roughly what it means …)
Looking at the two people's confused expressions, he explained,
"The general idea is that as a teacher, you have to be more knowledgeable or something."
The two people looked as if they were learning something new.
Just as Skeleton's team was talking,
Everyone subconsciously distanced themselves from Skeleton and discussed, but their eyes were fixed on Skeleton from time to time …
"Beep!
Beep! "
Teacher Midnight swung his whip again and reminded,
"Everyone, form your 'horses' according to your teams. There's still one minute left!"
"Alright …" Skeleton took out a ring. That was the ring.
It was a ring with a trace of undetectable blood stain on it.
He looked at the ring in his hand with a complicated expression. With his other hand, he took out a special 10-year artillery shell and threw it!
"Bang!" Pink smoke floated up. Everyone's attention was focused on Skeleton.
"Eh eh?
Is this … a cannon barrel from ten years later? "
A comforting voice sounded.
"Kufufu, no, it's Ah Gang."
Skeleton was in a good mood as he spoke to the white rabbit that had just finished the ring battle ten years ago, emphasizing his presence.
Ah Gang heard the familiar voice and immediately turned around.
"… Skeleton?
Where is this?
You … "
Skeleton looked at the nervous sky. He softened his eyes and calmed his aura. He put away his' spikes' and faced Ah Gang in his most harmless state.
"It's okay, Ah Gang.
I'm participating in a competition now. I wanted you to join in and have some fun, so I called you over. Don't feel burdened. Have some fun? "
'Accompany me, Ah Gang. After leaving you … I don't think I'm as strong as I thought.'
Ah Gang looked at Skeleton.
'Although Skeleton is not normal to begin with. After all, Obsidian made such a big scene back then just to see me or something … My super intuition has always shown that Skeleton is friendly to me. Even now, he's still my Fog Guardian and participated in the ring battle with me.'
Thinking about how Ah Gang was no longer nervous, he sighed.
'But, it's a little hard to take surprises (scares) from time to time … Men, lingering thoughts of beauties … Whatever Ribaun said, I'll never do it!'
(So fragrant ~).
Ah Gang complained a lot in his heart. In fact, it was only a matter of a few breaths.
"Then, Skeleton, at least tell me the general rules."
'My super intuition seems to be reminding me that if I reject this place, something bad will happen. Although, I didn't want to reject it in the first place …'
"Kufufu, there's something in your mind right now, right?"
“!...
Yes. "
Ah Gang's pupils shrunk.
'As expected, something is wrong … Skeleton …'
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, that's the background of this place.
Now, it's the riding battle. The difference is … "
Skeletal Remains quickly explained the situation because the time was up.
"Then, come on up, Ah Gang."
Skeleton acted as the horse's leg in front of everyone, especially the Class A people's surprised eyes.
As for the unknown person who was initially judged to be Skeleton's illusion.
He rode on top of the first place …
However, no matter what the people who saw it thought, it was no longer something that Skeleton could control.
"Three!
Two!
One!! "
"Let the battle begin!"
In an instant, Explode's team was the first to move. They naturally rushed towards Skeleton's team!
"Oh, oh, oh!"
"It's starting. Are the two strong teams going to face each other?!"
"Ahh, I'm looking forward to it!"
...
...
As the audience cheered, the audience cheered.
