Soul Evolution System - Chapter 435 Kenichi World Tournament 22
(POV Renka)
“How do you feel, Shigure-san?”
“U-Un… I’m fine.
A-Also… thanks to the pills and strange potion that Alex gave me before, it seems that the bleeding has stopped… a-and even the wound seems to be healing quickly. ”
I try to help Shigure-san to stand up and support her to walk, but she was much better than I thought… she could stand and walk perfectly on her own. It seems like it just looked worse than it was… we all really worried a lot when we saw how she was knocked down as a bit of her blood spread through the air.
“W-What do we do now? Hey Miu! Wake up!!”
“E-Eh? T-This…”
Even though the worst did not happen, things were not looking very good now! My dad and the other Masters who were with us were now fighting other Yomi Masters! And the abilities of each of these could not be underestimated!!
…It does not seem that each one of their fights is easy this time! Even some of them were being pressured and they were a bit at a disadvantage!!
We couldn’t leave this place this way! But it wouldn’t help this whole situation much if we also tried to intervene and help the others who were struggling now! And to make things worse, Miu was paralyzed and looked quite confused!!
From what I could hear, the guy who was fighting the fat man who suddenly appeared and helped Alexander and Shigure was her father! I really wanted to ask why the hell her father was our enemy now, but she doesn’t seem to know the answer to that question either.
While I feel sympathy for her, sadly this was not the time to worry about it! More and more men came to where we were and the fight between both groups, those who defended the island and Jennifer-san’s companions, was getting closer and closer to us!
So we couldn’t just stand here either…
Also, what worried me the most at the moment was Alexander! The man he was fighting seemed quite dangerous! When I look at Shigure-san as if asking her to help him, as if she understands what I had in mind, she just shakes her head at my request!
This was a bit frustrating… but I knew very well that with my current strength I couldn’t try to help him! Well… maybe even if I had a similar strength to Shigure-san, I couldn’t help him either… if you weren’t used to it and don’t have a good understanding of the other party, it was difficult to intervene in the two-person fight at the Master level.
Doing so would only end up disturbing the other’s fighting rhythm. That must be the reason why Shigure-san didn’t try to go to where Alexander was to help him.
Either way… things weren’t looking too good for him! The aura around that man was even more dangerous than the other Yomi Masters who were fighting our allies!!
Even though Alexander somehow made his aura match that guy a bit after swallowing those pills, it could be clearly seen by looking at the faces of both who were fighting that there was still a difference between them!!
“…A-Alexander-senpai just took out a weapon?
Hiii! S-Surely that person will die now!! ”
“Shut!!”
“E-Eh? Y-Yes !!”
…Perhaps understanding his situation perfectly, Alexander pulls out a pair of pistols as weak-kun says while being quite loud! Well, he wasn’t the only one who seemed concerned to see that, but… honestly, I didn’t care if he did that if it could make him be an advantage and end the battle quickly and not get hurt too much!
Unfortunately… or maybe I should say, as expected, the weapons didn’t seem to be of much help. They only managed to get that man to keep a distance to evade the bullets more easily. Because…
[Boom boom boom!]
…Alexander also begins to use a variety of bombs interspersing them with the pistols he held in his hands. Undoubtedly now their fight was the most striking in the place… even other Masters stop for a few moments to watch the two of them and withdraw so as not to be involved and be hurt by carelessness!
“Well well! It seems that I have found some little ones that will serve as replacements for those who escaped before~! ”
“Fortune!!
Do not move and surrender !! Otherwise, I will not be responsible for what may happen to you. ”
Although I was still quite worried about Alexander, sadly it seems that I no longer had time to focus my attention on his fight. A man with a great build comes up to where we were along with two others who also looked intimidating… and for some reason, he was watching all the guys in the place with a big smile!
…M-Maybe he is one of these perverts with those strange preferences? If so, then I would like Jennifer-san to not hesitate to shoot her with the gun that was pointed at him while saying that. Th-Thinking that this guy could get his hands on me was so disgusting! My body was something that only Alexander could touch!!
Of course, I would defend my own body for myself at any cost, but… this man was not a normal pervert! The auras around him and the other two men with him were undoubtedly from Master level people!!
“…do you two have the things Alexander gave you earlier?”
“” Y-Yes!/ U-Un””
Things really weren’t looking too good for our group now… they were three Masters, and with us, there were only two at the moment! Also, Shigure-san may not be so well and is trying hard not to worry Alexander anymore!!
“Kimono Girl… you take care of that man, I will take the other one as my opponent. Besides, you guys will have to deal with that pervert for a while.”
“…I-It’s okay”
“” … “”
…well, without a doubt that was the best plan given the situation. The other two men accompanying the pervert… who are surely just like him given their looks, had a stronger aura than him. So the most reasonable thing was for the two Master level women with us to take care of them.
“Boss, what do we do?”
“…shouldn’t we take advantage of the moment and better escape from the place?”
“Curse! I’ve lost a lot because of everything that’s going on now, so I can’t just leave like this! Also, all these little guys look pretty good…
Previously I spent a lot of time and money for some brats from some orphanages to have quite disappointing results. Instead of doing the same buying brats from some orphanages, surely these little ones could be better and have better results than those “failures” from before!
You two take care of those two women ”
“”Uunderstood””
After that man gives them orders, their subordinates quickly waste no time and rush towards Shigure-san and Jennifer-san to fight them.
“Y-You are the one who made ****-kun and the other guys fight, right?! How dare you do that to them!! ”
“Hoo~ Looks like my luck is good this time. The boy who made it to the final is here too… besides, if I’m not mistaken, a lot of these little ones performed very well during the tournament.
Plus… wasn’t that the boy over there who fought against that monster-old man? I’ll also take it with me~!! ”
“… I recommend that you do not look with those eyes at that boy… he could end up gouging your eyes out… and not figuratively.”
When we were left alone with this pervert, the first one to unexpectedly step forward was weak-kun… he seemed quite annoyed by this man’s previous words. In truth, this boy could act like someone to trust from time to time… no wonder Izumi’s eyes flashed a bit when she saw him.
It’s a shame that bravery doesn’t seem to last long enough… when the boy named Tanimoto advises this man not to target Alexander, weak-kun’s body trembles as if imagining what he’s saying.
…yes, well… I totally agreed with what that blond boy was saying. Perhaps he would not go as far as he says, but… surely he would not escape from suffering very much if he looked at him with those eyes that seemed to want him with great force.
Although… I can’t blame Alexander for that either if that happens. Even I would like to hit this man very hard for this! It was quite unpleasant for someone else to see the boy you like with those eyes! And more if it was a middle-aged man like him!!
“Stop shaking and better start attacking that guy!”
“Y-Yes!!”
While I wanted to hit this guy for the earlier reasons, the main reason I incited weak-kun and the other boys to fight that man was because I wanted to end this quickly and be able to see Alexander’s situation again!
I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but… they say a lot of ants could even defeat an elephant, right? Besides, it’s not like we are ants! We all started attacking the man with the best skills we had!!
I must say that the result was much better than expected… that man is overwhelmed by all of us who attacked him or defended from his blows!
From what I heard, they had previously fought another man in the same way when they rescued the group of boys that weak-kun mentioned… so they had a bit of experience in fighting someone stronger than them as a group and the results of that are shown now!!
“Curse! Naughty and insolent little ones… it seems I need to punish you a bit!! ”
“Miu, now!”
“Y-Yes!!”
Due to our attacks and that his were not very effective again us, he begins to despair and gets upset! For that reason, this time he doesn’t hesitate to use his Master-level energy to attack us!!
…If he hit someone with his fist this time, that person would be seriously injured! So to avoid that, I yell at Miu to use one of the things Alexander had given each of us.
When that man was about to hit the Judo boy who despite his injured arm also joining the fight, Miu stands in front of him and uses one of the things called BIM by Alexander! In the next instant, that man’s fist hits a glass-like barrier preventing that boy from being hurt!
…Maybe that Judo boy was quite unlucky? Of all those who were here, he was the one chosen by the pervert to defeat first. Well… at least this time he escaped his bad luck.
“Come on, weak-kun, it’s your turn!!”
“A-Alright! [M-Mobioshi]!! ”
Being blocked by that barrier, and perhaps also surprised by it, that man seems to lose concentration a bit and is quite exposed for an attack! We couldn’t miss this, so I yelled at weak-kun to take this opportunity since he was one of the closest to him!!
“K-Kuuh!! D-Damn brat, I’ll kill you!! ”
“Hiii~!!”
Hearing my words, weak-kun concentrates a lot of energy in his fist and plunges it into that man’s stomach! Sadly, it doesn’t seem like that was enough to defeat him… even more annoying than before, his attention is fully focused on Kenichi who had hit him.
[Baam~!]
“Well, now it’s my turn… [Futae no Kawami]!”
[Baam!!]
“Ghuaaah !!”
Before that man’s kick reached Kenichi, I threw another BIM similar to the one Miu used before and managed to avoid that man hitting him. Besides… I had also reached the other side of this pervert and attacked him!!
“T-That technique wasn’t…”
“Yes~! Alexander had taught it to me before~ !! ”
“…”
Yes~! The technique I just used was none other than the one Alexander uses as a finishing move~! When we were in Gaia before he taught me this technique! So until now I had been practicing it with him and recently I had been able to use it.
…Miu’s eyes now contained a bit of envy in them. Alexander told me that one of the reasons he showed it to me was because I had better control of my energy thanks to practicing Kenpo, so maybe he hadn’t taught it to her until now because of this.
Or he may just not have had enough time for that. Either way, for now, I won’t say anything about that and enjoy Miu’s jealousy a bit~! Just like how I feel right now, she must be thinking that I am closer to him than she does~!!
“I-Is it over?”
“It seems”
Not that I was careless and focused on feeling superior to Miu now… thanks to the two blows from before, that man was not a threat now! The technique that Alexander taught me certainly seems to be quite dangerous… besides, I think Kenichi’s technique is not far behind either. He had vomited a good deal of blood by then blacking out.
“Alexander!!”
“Alexander-kun!!”
Since we were already safe now, I quickly direct my vision towards where Alexander was fighting… then, I can’t help but scream when I see that he was with the naked torso now and had been attacked by that man! That master’s hand seemed to have pierced his stomach and a small pool of blood formed under where he was standing!!
