World Record - Chapter 63

63. One who desires to fight

The warp hole warning stops, and at the same time, numerous roar can be heard from the entrance.
And, the girls finally recovered from frozen.

[Why youre moving so slow even though you knew all of it!? If you knew it, you should have called the Special Forces]
[Theres no need to have that many people to protect this small entrance. If I called the prideful Special Forces, they would all want to get the feat. Therefore, they would be a hindrance]
[[[Gufu!?]]]

Iwato said those merciless words to the threeAyame, Tsukie and Secretary-san.
However, what he said is true, and theres Iwato, Tsumugu whos an Absolute, A rank member, Ayame, Tsukie who should be higher than A rank, Karen whos an A rank if only counting her physical strength, and Secretary-san who more or less can fight in this place.
With this much of strength, if a C rank joined, he would only be a hindrance.
Iwatos words are cruelly calmand most of all, right.
Those words extinguished the fl.u.s.tered flames in their hearts, and they regained their composure.

[Ahem, so Iwato. You said that you dont know the ident.i.ty of the researcher, but he chose the time when no one is in the building means that the researcher must at least be in there, right?]
[Ah, in that case, I can check it up. However, it may take some time to find him]

Secretary-san replied so to Tsukies words.
Thats right. If its Secretary-san, she can enter the Special Forces network, and find out whos on leave today, where they went for their work, and who stayed behind.
Then, its for sure that the only person who stayed behind is the researcher, but

[Well, even if you dont do it, we will know soon]

Iwato muttered so, and he looked at the building at the back.
The Unknowns presence gets stronger gradually, and the roars and footsteps can be heard clearly.
In such situation, Iwato looked straight towards a certain place.

[I didnt expect someone that strong entered]

Upon hearing his words, the girls frowned.
Iwato did say itstrong.
Iwato who crushed every single enemy as if hes playing with a toy up until now, said the word strong.
That means

[Divine Beast cla.s.s]

In his eyes, he can see the devastating aura from that place.

Divine Beast cla.s.s.
Tsukie is convinced when she heard those words.
That Iwato surely plans to go there by himself.

Thats why, shes worried.
The current Iwato is not in his prime. His strength now is halfno, even lower than his prime.
How far can the current Iwato stand against a Divine Beast cla.s.s.
And also, Iwato affirmed that the opponent is strongsurely, it has a Battle Rank over 100. Surely, a humanoid.
Against such opponent

(Iwato Can you really stand a chance againsta Divine Beast cla.s.shumanoid?)

She knows about the Iwato three years ago.
Therefore, can he clench his fist while carrying a trauma against an opponent equal to last timeor perhaps stronger than that?
No matter what, she couldnt affirm it.
And, above all

(I cant let my own sontake the same responsibility as three years ago)

She smiled, and mana wells upinside her body.

[Shadow Clone]

At the next moment, the mana overflowing from her body formed a figure, creating a Shadow Clone that looks the same as Tsukie on the spot.
Karen, Ayame and Secretary-san opened their eyes wide upon seeing that, but Iwatos reaction wasa wry smile.

[Kaa-san, you plan to follow me?]
[Of course. I myself will stay here, but at least, take along my shadow clone]

Iwato tried to refuse her, buthe stopped.
Iwato saw Tsukies eyes.
Theres a definite resolution in her eyes, and Iwato knows the best that anything he says is useless against such resolution.
Iwato leaks a sigh, and looks at Tsumugu and the girls.

[Tsumu, Karen, Ayame. Can I leave this place to you?]

Upon hearing those words, the girls hesitated.
To tell the truth, they probably want to be together.
They couldnt leave their loved one to go to a dangerous place purposely.
But

[Haa, understood. At any ratethe current Nii-sanwill not listen to me]
[U-Understood! Im Masters pupil after all. So I will obey what you say!]
[I understand Please dont be reckless, okay?]

Iwatos expression loosens upon hearing those words, and he turned back and started running along with Tsukies shadow clone.
Upon seeing his back figure, Tsumugu muttered the words she didnt say softly.

[Nii-san is not weakto the extent of needing to worry]

The girl who saw the image, stood in front of the screen without doing anything.

(That personwas definitely looking at me)

Thats right. At that time, Iwato was looking at her direction.
Since seeing the image, the girl was convinced.

I dont care whether hes pandora or kingbut hes strong. To the extent that he can fight me

Those thoughts can be called as wishful thinking or desire.
For a lone timeno, its my first time seeing such strong person.
He wants to fight against me, a thrilling battle. Above allHe wants to win.
The long-forgotten feelings start appearing inside her, and the flames spread gradually.

Good, this is worth it

I want to fight.
As soon as possible.
Come faster.
Come come come come come come.
Before she knew it, shes smiling in delight and excitement, and she puts her hand on her beating heart

[Kukuku I didnt expect Kanekura-san to come as well, butwith this, its 2v2. We will defeat you completely! Not to forget, that failure also!]

She remembered the nuisance existence.
2v2?
We?
Who would do such a boorish conduct.
The girl looks at the manthe researcher.

I desire a 1v1 against him. You have no turn in this

[Nn?Kukuku, have you become fond of that black-haired? I understand, lets leave him alone alive. Well, perhaps I should at least break his bones]

Shes convinced thatnow is the time.
She sighs once, and walks towards him.

Bringing me here and giving me this device. Im grateful for these two

Gusaa!
At the next moment, her arm came out of the researchers chest. He opened his eyes wide by the sudden situationand coughed blood.

[W-What are]
To be honest, youre an eyesore from the beginning. You attempt to s.e.xually hara.s.s me, your eyes are obscene, and you smell bad. Above all. I was curiousabout why you act so high even though youre weaker than me

She only obeys to the one who defeated her.
Thats why, she hatedthe researcher who misunderstood that hes her master just because of this cooperative relation.
At the same time as she pulled out her arm, she threw his body forward, and

Purify

At the next moment, light wraps the arm thats stained with blood, and immediately after that, the stains were purified.

[Kuso thats your Curse Cleansing Eye(), huh]

The researcher somehow stands up, and said those words.
She opened her eyes wide upon seeing that, but its that him who have always been researching and experimenting. Its not strange that he restructured his own body.
As the evidence

[KukukuI never thought that you would betray me now, but even if you regret that you didnt finish me offits a bit late]

Guchuu, guchagucha, gucho, gucha.
The sounds that fans discomfort just by hearing it, and the wound on his chest closes up gradually. After a few seconds, the wound recovered completely.
Anda further change occurs.

[Kukuku, I cant believe that I reached the same conclusion as that pseudo-researcher, Albert]

The next moment, his flesh swelled from the inside, and a grotesque figure starts appearing, piercing his skin.
About a few seconds.
Just like the time when Iwato confronted Unknownified Albert, he also turns into an Unknown. The researcher who became such figure, speaks.

KukukuUnfortunately, I couldnt bethe chosen onesimilar to them. However, dont think that Im the same as that Albert

The girl who saw that, squints, and she throws a question on his absurd change in Battle Rank.

Why, a weak humanbecame a Divine Beast cla.s.s?

Thats right. His strength is quite powerful, and she somehow guessed that his strength is stronger than a Sacred Beast cla.s.s and close to Divine Beast cla.s.s.
Upon hearing that, he felt pleasant.

Kuhahahaha! The answer is obvious! I am the chosen one! Although I didnt reach the top, still, Im a higher race than those foolish humans who dominated this land before! A ruler rank! Thats why, we draft Fantasia, and as a result, although it may have failed, this world has transform into a better world than before! The figure of people who live pridefully, turned their expression into fear and die, is too wonderful to the extent that tears would come out of my eyes!

Upon hearing those words, she frowns.
Humans are certainly enemies. If we Unknowns are found, they would come and kill us no matter what we are. An enemy.
However

Even such enemywhen compared with a trash like you, they are better than you

The researcher sneered by those words

Shut up

The next moment, her figure moved to his back in an instant, and at the same time, the researchers head flew midair.
The head hits the floor, and at the same time, the body fell to the ground with a roaring sound.
One hit.
The girl who sighed by the result, looks at the entrance.
Footsteps can be heard from afar.

Even if youre a Divine Beast cla.s.s, youre no match for me, after all I hope that you dont disappoint me

The girl muttered so with a smile.
