Chapter 71
“…”
The audience was silent since they didn’t expect this development, and no one really could tell what had happened.
“Wh-What’s happening?! Right from the start, Shizuku Kurogane was blown away so suddenly!” The broadcaster, Tsukuyomi, exclaimed before she asked, “Oreki-sensei, can you explain?”
However, suddenly everyone heard a “clink” sound on the field.
“…Is that a coin?”
“..Yeah, isn’t that a 500 yen coin?”
“Um….”
The audience, who had good eyesight, quickly noticed the 500 yen coin near the fallen Shizuku, but while they might have an idea what had happened, they were really unsure whether this was the right explanation.
“…It’s probably Rakensen.” Oreki was speechless when she knew what had happened.
“Rakensen? What is that?”
“It’s a type of hidden Chinese weapon, or basically a throwing coin.”
“Yo-You mean that Shizuku Kurogane was blown away by a 500 yen coin?!”
“…Um, yeah, that’s right.”
“…….”
There was no voice since they felt speechless by how Tsukasa defeated his opponent.
Still, they might have heard that Tsukasa’s ability was to increase the efficiency of something that he thought of as a weapon into many folds stronger, so even if it was only a 500 yen coin, it became a dangerous weapon.
“But even so, this isn’t the reason why Shizuku Kurogane can’t stand up, right?” Renren Tomaru asked incredulously since her brain really couldn’t understand what was happening.
“Tsukasa is a doctor.” Touka stared at Tsukasa with a gentle and helpless smile. “His understanding of the human body is probably better than anyone in this world.”
“Yes.” Kanata nodded and said, “He attacked Shizuku Kurogane’s nerve, and it made her unable to move now.”
“What? Nerves? Is that possible?”
“It’s possible since his accuracy is extremely high, and he’s holding back now,” Touka said.
“Holding back? That’s holding back?!” 2x
Renren Tomaru and Ikazuchi Saijou were dumbfounded. They didn’t think that Tsukasa’s attack was holding back at all since it could send Shizuku blown tens of meters away before she lay on the ground without moving. Instead, they were told he was holding back. With how powerful his attack was, how could they believe that?
“Tsukasa’s ability is stronger than you thought.” Utakata watched the match with a smile and said, “If he wants to, he can blow Shizuku Kurogane’s head up like a watermelon with just a 500 yen coin.”
“…Utakata-senpai, you’re joking, right?”
“What do you think?” Utakata asked with a smile.
“……….”
While the student council group was discussing Tsukasa’s attack, Nene was laughing hard when she saw how Shizuku was defeated by Tsukasa.
“Hahahaha, he used a 500 yen coin!”
Nene laughed so hard that she slapped the armrest of her seat several times since it was too funny.
“Saikyou-sensei, that’s not a 500 yen coin, but it is his Device that is transformed into the shape of a 500 yen coin,” Ikki said speechlessly, but he might really need to say this since if not, his feeling would be so complicated. He knew that Tsukasa was strong, but he didn’t expect him to be this strong.
Shizuku was, without a doubt, a genius, and she could beat the majority of people in this academy.
However, Tsukasa was different.
While Tsukasa might not show it, Ikki was sure that Tsukasa was crafty and would use every means to win. However, he didn’t feel that it was ugly since he was also similar. He lacked talent, whether it was magic, or his ability, which was why he needed to use every means in his arsenal to win, so he accepted Tsukasa’s method.
However, Ikki must admit that Tsukasa’s Device was quite convenient since it could change into many shapes as long as he wanted to.
“During his fight with Kurono-director, Tsukasa used a katana. With Vermillion-san, he used a claymore, then with Shizuku, he used a 500 yen coin….” Ikki felt complex and let out a sigh.
“…So his Device can change into many shapes?” Alice asked subconsciously.
“Probably,” Ikki said after a moment of hesitation. “After all, he has only been in three matches, and his data is quite limited.” Still, he felt that he might really underestimate Tsukasa’s ability too much. Luckily, it was a coin. If Tsukasa suddenly transformed his Blazer into firearms, then he could see what kind of end his little sister would end.
‘What if he can transform his Device into a nuclear bomb?’ Ikki wondered how the hell he was going to defeat Tsukasa.
While Ikki was in the middle of a thought, someone suddenly uttered some crazy thing.
“…If Tsukasa can turn his Device into a nuclear bomb, then use his ability to increase it by a hundredfold…” Stella suddenly murmured and felt dizzy all of a sudden. “I-I wonder what will happen…?”
“……….”
Everyone was silent and thought it was better to focus on the match.
“Um… that’s no way, right?” Alice said with an awkward smile.
“………” Everyone.
If Tsukasa knew what they were thinking, he could only sigh since he couldn’t transform his Device into such a firearm-related weapon. If possible, he wanted to change his Device into a motorcycle, plane, tank, sports car, or any other vehicle since it would be convenient for him. However, there was a limitation on his ability, and unless he found a method to break that limitation, this limitation would stick until the rest of his life.
“Come on, Kurogane, little sister. I haven’t hurt you that much. You should be able to stand up now,” Tsukasa suddenly shouted.
Shizuku’s body twitched slightly, then stood up slowly, looking at Tsukasa with a complicated gaze. He had given her time to recover, and she was already able to move her body. Her knowledge of the human body was also quite high since she was a Blazer with a water manipulation ability, so it was natural for her to learn about the human body, and she understood that the 500 yen coin hit her nerve and knocked her out for a moment.
Still, Shizuku knew that if Tsukasa wanted to, he could knock her out and defeat her in an instant.
However, Tsukasa didn’t do that and just stood there waiting for her to stand up.
Shizuku felt that she had been humiliated.
As someone born from the Kurogane family, even if Shizuku didn’t say anything, she felt that she was better than most people, especially when she had always been spoiled and her ability was stronger than the majority of people.
However, Tsukasa humiliated her by shooting her with a 500 yen coin, which knocked her out directly!
If Shizuku lost, she might feel that it was unacceptable, but she might be able to accept it since his way of fighting meant that Tsukasa couldn’t defeat her in a frontal battle.
However, it was different this time since Tsukasa blatantly looked down on her.
Even if Tsukasa didn’t say anything, the meaning of his actions was apparent.
‘Even if I don’t follow up on my attack, I can still defeat you.’
Shizuku held her kodachi again in the reverse grip and said with a gloomy expression, “I’ll make you regret not taking me down before.”
“Then try to make me regret my decision.” Tsukasa showed his usual faint smile before a stack of coins appeared on both of his palms, which made Shizuku startled before she quickly reacted and stabbed her kodachi on the ground, using her Noble Art without hesitation!
“Shouha Suiren!”
However…
“Do you know how to dance, Kurogane’s little sister?”
Several booming noises were heard, and many 500 yen of coins relentlessly attacked Shizuku like a machine gun.
