Soul Evolution System - Chapter 431 Kenichi World Tournament 18

———————————–

“… p-please, be gentle with me… s-senpai”

“…”

…seriously, I don’t know how to react to a boy with unkempt clothes, panting a bit, and with his body shaking as he looks at me with nervousness in his eyes and tries to cover his body… my wishes to go against his words and be “Very hard” with him only gets bigger!!

“… Hamtaro, could you really not choose your words better?”

“E-Eh?”

Of course, the person in front of me now was none other than Kenichi who managed to advance to the next round too. His previous fight was not easy, but he managed to defeat Tanimoto after a lot of effort… also, I have to give him a lot of credit for that since he did not use his new ability for that and he did it by his own effort.

Well… I think thanks to his abilities going up two ranks for a while, probably a little experience during that fight made him improve a bit compared to before that.

Furthermore, his acting status was thanks to his two previous fights…  his worn-out martial arts suit and his low stamina are thank that! And he must have used a lot of energy surely too! On the other hand, after swallowing some pills after my fight with the old man, I was almost in perfect condition!

…just, like him, my body was a bit dusty from rolling around the ring and my clothes also had several holes now. Although, I think that would not tarnish my beautiful appearance.

Either way, now we had both reached the final match of this tournament! So you could say that I was in a very good mood, and so I can have the patience not to hit him the moment I hear him say those words!

Although… it would be best to finish this quickly! This boy’s luck is quite strange, I don’t want to end up being involved in a situation that can be misinterpreted now!!

“Well, don’t worry… it will only hurt a little at first~ You will have to endure this for a bit.”

“Hii!!”

…You see, it’s like the world or Kenichi’s own existence prompts you to say things with double meaning! No… well… it’s also true that I couldn’t help but want to joke around a bit. I was actually quite happy with how the tournament developed at the end. Even though there were some ups and downs, it can be said that everything went perfectly!

I take my usual fighting pose, release all my aura, killing intent, and activate my abilities that could strengthen me a bit more… that I wanting to end this quickly was not a joke! I was quite confident in coming out victorious in this fight, but… if that trap ability of his was activated, things would only get complicated!!

The best thing was that this tournament came to a conclusion before that could happen.

“I-I … I give up!!”

“” … “”

So, before I even make a move, Kenichi’s words of surrender are heard all over the place and they leave the site in silence for a few seconds… this only lasts for a short time, then from the audience the first boo comes out and one person after another begin to do the same.

“Buuu~ What’s wrong? Start killing each other! ”

“What does this mean? I didn’t come here for this! I want to see blood!! ”

“Hey, make them fight properly!!”

“…”

Well, I can’t say I was that surprised by this… as long as someone didn’t touch Kenichi’s bottom line, then his brave attitude won’t come out, and… he’ll still be a bit of a coward. Feeling the pressure of my aura and killing intent, I think he reached his limit and couldn’t stop those words from coming out of his mouth!

[Besides… I’m sure that a certain part of him is actually a little scared of you…]

Probably, but… I think that fear is also due to his beloved Masters, Aurora! I think when feeling my aura that was now a level 2 soul, he unconsciously can’t help but compare it and feel almost the same thing he feels when those guys release theirs! Yes… you can tell that his body reacts instinctively to that now!!

…poor guy.

O-Oh ~ Actually this last encounter was more like a bonus! I had my doubts about going ahead and hitting Kenichi a bit to complete the mission, but… it seems like it’s not necessary and the system recognized his surrender and my victory in this tournament!

…The damned thing has a conscience after making me fight with the old man.

Well… I certainly can’t say it was a life and death fight … no, I’m lying, if I remember correctly, for a moment I thought that my head might be detached from my body by his blows! That was something quite deadly and dangerous from my point of view!! I wouldn’t want to have to fight that damn old man again!! Or at least until our strength is not much different.

“” Fight, fight, fight ~ !! “”

…unfortunately, the audience did not share my feelings of joy. The boos and criticism started to get louder and some things were thrown from the stands… not that I cared about it. I perfectly had no problem interpreting all of those as shouts of support for having completed the tournament mission!

“Be quiet!!

You two… have to fight now! The finale can’t just end this way! Fight now and give the show everyone else is here for!!! ”

“Hiii!!”

Finally, the Yami member commentator couldn’t help but interfere with this… he seemed quite upset because their tournament had been ruined, and releasing his aura against the two of us to pressured us to fight.

“… Force me, bitch~!”

“…”

Unlike Kenichi who acts the same way again when he senses that Master’s aura, it didn’t affect me one bit. I had already accomplished my goal and, of course, I wasn’t going to waste time on something useless.

[Yes… well… I understand that, but… couldn’t you express yourself in a better way? Now that guy seems quite annoying… he may actually step in to force you to fight Kenichi]

…Not that that matters much. If the guy dares come down here, I have no problem fighting him instead. I don’t need to hold back for the tournament anymore, so I’m not afraid of him.

The guy with the mask and a big and permanent smile on his face gets up from his seat while crushing the microphone in his hand…my words must have bothered him a bit in truth. But, as I said, that didn’t matter to me! Being able to use the BIMs and other things in my storage to fight, I didn’t have to worry much about this. I was not an easy prey which he would handle however he wanted!

What’s more…

“Kukuku, congratulations on winning the tournament, boy~ You look so happy… I didn’t think you would care so much about winning”

“Is it no longer necessary to continue with this game?”

“We are leaving now?”

“…I haven’t tested this sword enough yet. I thought that with so many good test instruments here, I could do it until I was completely satisfied. ”

…I also had several Masters on my side who, seeing that I no longer had the intention of continuing with this tournament, quickly approach where I am. Looking at Ogata, Kushinada, Shiba, and Sai, the guy in the mask stop before he can even do anything.

Ma Sogetsu seemed to continue to enjoy the free Sake in his place… seriously, maybe I shouldn’t take that guy with me to Gaia… surely I can find more reliable guys in this world than that guy.

Probably seeing that he had no intention of fighting and the tournament thus ended, several other Yami Masters began to leave other places as well or get up from their seats in this Arena … although the annoyance of this tournament has ended, it may be that the things get more serious now.

…With the Ryozanpaku also joining this staring competition between the groups of people in this place, the atmosphere was getting tenser and tenser with each passing second.

“S-Senpai, w-what do we do?”

“Alexander!”

“A-Alexander-kun… I think they won’t let us go easily. Also … this is bad! What about the prizes for winning in tournaments? ”

Sensing this, the other boys also approach us worried… well, it seems that some were worried for different reasons. Even though I never cared about the prize of this tournament, Miu-chan didn’t seem to accept this…

The truth is I wanted to tell her before that it was very improbable that opposing groups would be willing to finance their enemies, but… seeing her so happy after winning the women’s tournament, I did not have the heart to tell her that!

…Also, there has certainly been a history of people funding a group to end up pointing their guns at their “sponsors”… so it wasn’t entirely impossible, so I didn’t want to break her heart.

“Well … before things get out of hand, I’d like to say a few things first.”

“…”

It seemed that only a small spark was needed for the tension in the environment to explode, so before that happened, I thought that with the attention of the many Masters right now towards me, it was the right time to carry out my main objective to come here.

“…I won’t say much. Whoever wants to follow me, then I will show them a world where they can fulfill their dreams… I will take them to a world where they can achieve their goals with the skills of their fists! ”

“” … “”

When my words echo in the Arena, most of the people here give me strange looks… as if they are seeing a person with a loose screw in his head!

“Kukuku… now everyone is looking at you like crazy, boy~ I think it was better if you explained things better”

Shit! I understand what Ogata means, but… I just don’t think there were the right words to express what I was trying to say! It was better to show it to them, but… that also had its complications!!

Haa~ This is more difficult than I thought… let’s try to explain things better. At least to avoid being looked at with those eyes … they are annoying and … also a little hurtful.

“What I mean-”

[Boom boom boom!]

Unfortunately, before we can continue with this conversation, several small explosions begin to happen in various parts of the island… everyone in the place exchange glances as if trying to find the person responsible for this, but they only find the same surprised face that they themselves had.

“What is happening?”

“Who is attacking the island?”

Along with the explosions, many helicopters are also beginning to be seen in the aerial area of the island and several men were descending by ropes from these. A few moments later, the sounds of weapons are also heard echoing.

“H-Hey … this is bad, let’s go from here!”

“Curse! I get out of here!!”

Due to all this, disorder and tumult are present throughout the place. Arena seats quickly begin to empty as people rush to the ports or transports they came through.

The only ones who seemed calm were the Master-level people who continued to observe everything that was happening… sadly, I think it was no longer a good time to continue the conversation that I had started before.

“Hey… we have to get out of here too. The American government has come to this place to capture several leaders of some criminal organizations! ”

“…how do you know that?”

The one who brings some information about what was happening now was Sakaki who joins our group a little after all the trouble started… also, there was one person more next to him. I also wanted to know more about what was going on, but… there was something more important I wanted to know right now!

“Sakaki… wh-who is she? D-Do you have a woman?! ”

“” … “”

Before I could ask that question, Master Ma seemed interested in this too! No, I think everyone in the place wanted to know this! Our attention on Sakaki to hear his answer was totally on him!

Next to Sakaki there was a blonde girl… besides, she seemed quite close to him! This was certainly much more surprising than what was happening on the island! Sakaki… this tsundere guy knew a cute girl!!

“Hello everyone, I am Sakaki’s fiancee~!”

“” … “”

…Unexpectedly, the person who answered everyone’s question in this place was the girl! Also, drop a bomb that explodes in everyone’s ears !!
