"Coming, Singh"

…………

I came to the fight field.

Agate, who was here first, turns to me and calls out.

"Do you know that a comparison is made between me and Singh, which is the strongest high school student tank, and Earthlings" players?

"... you don't know"

"Right. Then you just have to remember that there are stories like that"

I hammer Agate's words.

"And now here's the answer to that question"

"... right"

I hammer Agate's words again.

But in such a state that I am not here, I listened appropriately to the words that the man in front of me would say.

"Come on, let's go. As the leader of the [Black Dragons], as the first student chairman of the school, I beat you."

…………

I had in front of me the person I was going to fight, and I was thinking back to what I had just done with Kengo.

That's about Phil being arrested.

"Sin, as always, compete in the next game and fight"

"Kengo.................."

When I read the letter given to me by an Earthly female employee, I was only thinking about Phil's safety.

"Lose the next game if the lives of a player named Phil are spared. If you believe this paper that says' Build Error, 'it means that Phil was caught by someone.

I mean kidnapping.

"Think about it. Even if you lose the next game as shown in this letter, there's no guarantee that Phil will be back safely. It's also likely that he's keeping it alive because it's worth being a hostage now, but if the game is over, he might decide it's used and be disposed of. Whatever the outcome of the match."

"Huh..."

Kengo is right.

I don't know if the guy who took Phil will keep his word.

Nevertheless, there is limited that can be done at this time.

"... then what are we going to do? We don't have that much time left until the next game."

Some hands ask for help from other people, such as Dr. Hayakawa.

But in this case, it's not a good idea to rough things up badly and stimulate the killer.

Phil could be harmed.

So we need to keep things as secret as we can.

At least until Phil's safe.

But I can't think of a way to do that.

In this situation where the game is only a few moments away, what I need to do...

"Leave it to me. We're gonna get Phil out of here while you fight."

Make the game as long as you can and buy Kengo time to help Phil out......?

It's too late if the killer already has Phil as his deceased because of the evidence obliteration.

But if you're treating her properly as a hostage, I can tell you she'll be fine until the outcome of the game.

But... there is also an option here for me not to enter the game and take the form of an undefeated battle.

I can't help but think that the best option is to throw away games, etc., and go find Phil.

Yet Kengo tells me to get into the game.

You don't care about the game anymore than Phil's been exposed.

"Can't Singh believe me?

It's not like you don't believe in Kengo.

but I'm not nervous enough to get to the game here.

"Don't stare at me like that. This is for Phil, too."

"What? Phil's?

"Yes. Think about it. If you lose the game because of Phil, he's a total loser. Do you really want to make Phil sad?

…………

Phil would blame himself terribly if I were to be undefeated or lose here.

I can easily imagine that. She's twice as responsible.

"Well, I'll take care of this."

Kengo said so, pulling away with his bare hands an ability jammer that was wrapped around his arm and was not going to come off easily.

………… Kengo, what? "

"Rescue Phil is now a prerequisite. Don't you?"

"............... oh yeah"

Kengo is certainly right.

We'll think about the details later.

"... looks like Phil's safe for now"

"Really?

"Yeah, let's help him out and then we'll talk about it."

"Okay."

Right now, I don't know what Kengo saw with the far eye, but I'm guessing Phil makes no mistake first because this guy says he's safe.

"Then let's act differently here. I'm definitely gonna help Phil, so you're not gonna lose, are you?

"... I asked you, Kengo"

"Ooh."

That's how we broke up on the spot to do what we had to do with each other.

"What's up, Sin! How strong are you?

…………

Having finished that conversation with Kengo, I am now continually being attacked by Agate, my dueling semifinalist.

Although it is not a two-shield method of warfare because I carry a 'cross' on my right hand, there is no gap in my defense that has turned to protect me.

Almost all Agate attacks can be prevented.

Nevertheless, it is slightly damaged by HP.

If you look from the side, it will look like I'm on the defensive side.

Well, naturally, I'm moving consciously to make it look that way.

If the kidnappers think I'm intentionally prolonging the game here, Phil's in danger.

HP is slowly decreasing, and if the game continues like this, I lose.

But Agate's strength is more than I imagined, although some parts of him dare to defend himself thoroughly and create a struggle.

Agate's player skills are quite high among high school students.

Perhaps this guy played quite a few games with tank roles and stuff before he came to Earth.

While attacking me with my sword, I haven't lost my shield defense.

The idea is that you can always be attacked by me.

"You can't just protect me and win!

"Gu......!

And extreme is this guy's alien abilities.

Agate's powers are [shock].

This seems to be just that much power of playing objects, but when I actually take it, I don't find it that easy.

If it's not a big attack, and you do a shield defense, you'll be hit by an unexpected shock and you'll lose your posture.

I haven't given a deadly gap yet, but if I do poorly, my shield threatens to be played.

This is a glowing alien only in tanks dominated by fleshbullet warfare.

Together with his player skills, Agate's tank performance has reached a level that can be described as super high school.

"Run away!

"Chi......!

Plus, this guy has a pretty high travel speed.

I guess he does a pretty big stevedore on AGI as well, but he's probably a better user of xenogenesis than that.

On the ground after Agate runs, by the way, there's a crack in it.

That's the first trail I can't follow that I just ran normally.

Maybe he achieves fast travel by playing his soles with [impact].

Strong enemy with no multiplier.

I didn't think any of the high school kids were lurking this strong.

I'm just ashamed of my shallow thoughts.

"... that's a clap. What's up with the momentum we've been showing in the battle so far?

…………

But the other one seemed to think the opposite of me.

Agate loosens his hand on the attack and sighs like disappointment while keeping a little distance from me.

Well, I can't help being reacted to like this.

I can't win by mistake right now.

It's also natural to see a move you're unwilling to win and be judged out of hand.

"This is not the kind of man I wanted to fight. The" two shields "that ran through so many battlefields couldn't be this much."

And that's what Agate says, and she's staring at me hard.

"... maybe you know me from the game?

There was a nuance in this guy's remarks right now, like he was referring to sins in VR games on Earth, not sins in Earth.

I didn't know Agate until I came to Earth, but Agate probably knew me better from before.

"Oh, I know. That said, you and I have never spoken in a game."

"Phew."

Agate affirmed my inquiry.

Apparently, my predictions were met.

"In those days I was a middle player to the extent that I finally got out of intermediate. It was difficult to speak up because the difference with the bees was historical."

It was hard to speak up, hey.

I know I'm a beginner, but I'm an obsolete person, but if I'm in the game, I treat you like one.

I wish you would have spoken to me normally without worrying about anything.

"Truth be told, I admired you"

"Oh, really?"

"That's right. That's why I can't stand to see you move."

…………

That did a bad thing.

But there's a situation here.

But as far as this goes, the guy who took Phil seems to have nothing to do with this guy.

I was just wondering if maybe it was a trap Agate set up to beat me.

"Bring back the name of the strongest tank with you today. He's the strongest guy I've ever beaten."

I get Agate's word and bite my teeth off.

Don't be so harsh on me.

He said he still has over 80% of my HP left, but he already seems to think he won.

"If you're going to beat me, hit one decent attack."

So I made a provocation return.

You can't win a game in the current situation, but you'd be forgiven if you were to win as a tank.

"... interesting!

Agate then distorted her mouth, stuffed her distance from me in an instant and waved her sword.

Agate's attacks are very heavy, one shot at a time.

This is more than mina or setuna that is an attacker.

Not just as a tank, but also as an attacker.

[Impact] is probably putting a positive correction on the weight of this attack.

Not at all.

We're all really good at using the anomaly.

But I've had a lot of drills since I came to Earth.

No matter how early the opponent is, I'll go over it, and I'll calmly flush you no matter how heavy the attack is!

"Huh!"

I kept thoroughly judging Agate's attacks.

Seeing as this one hasn't attacked much, Agate is now throwing away his defenses and going all the way down.

Nevertheless, the attack is harsh and not a sign that we are likely to be able to fight back.

Attacks are often said to be the biggest defense.

But...

"Grr..................!

Agate can't do me any damage.

No, very little, to be exact, but the damage is in.

That's the damage I did as a result of failing to absorb Agate's attack perfectly and being struck over the shield.

But nothing else has been damaged.

I avoided, flushed, and prevented blows caused by swords, punches, sideburns, and occasional mixed kicks and shields.

Agate is strong.

but it doesn't get to me by the time you hit me.

"... is this the protection of a man called the strongest tank"

"Two shields would be tougher."

Now I'm equipped with a big shield, but I don't have a small shield because I'm also equipped with a 'cross'.

So, this isn't my 100 percent called a two-shield sin.

A hundred percent won't even take a small amount of damage.

"Sai! Ha!.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Agate can't do much damage to me and he's tongue-in-cheek as if he's pissed off.

It's been half an hour since the duel started.

I won't be able to help you if it's time to get your concentration disturbed.

And I have absolutely no problem with that.

Continuing to fight is what I've done to my Dragon opponents in Earth Gals.

I can't do a hundred people's hands or anything that seems to be snagging to this extent.

But this battle is going to need to be settled.

From the spectator's seat, the wilderness is starting to fly from the guys who seem tired of watching us fight.

Is this the limit for buying time?

What shall we do?

Do you want to break your defense from here and wazzle Agate's offense, or do you want to flip the battle situation that was on the defensive side and go back to strike?

I have to make a decision.

…………

and so a fireball was launched over the air from the viewing seat.

I look at it, I look at the person who shot it.

"... did you make it"

At the end of his gaze was Kengo with his cane raised Ceres and his fist up, plus Qatar and Marnyan for some reason...... and Phil waving his hands wide toward this one.

Having made sure Phil was safe, I finally launched an attack on Agate.

Agate then opens his eyes.

You must be surprised how things have suddenly changed for me.

But I can't stop looking like that right now.

"Ugh!

"Come on!"

When I unleashed the thrust by "Cross," Agate dodged it in a desperate manner.

This guy seems to have a good grasp of the performance of this weapon.

Well, if you ask around Setuna and watch my battles so far, naturally.

"It's my turn from here! Fucking cool name for nothing! Get ready! Agate!

"The name would have nothing to do with it!

"Shut up! You!

"Gu!?

I put all my strength into the real-life chef's two names, Ryuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, which I had been worried about whether I should be stuck or not, while leaving the momentum to slap 'Cross' on Agate's arm.

Agate then put a "Shit" look on his face and put his shield back on.

There is a gap in Agate's defense because it was a stream of attacks until just now.

Besides, even that didn't add decision hitting for long, this man's movements lacked definition.

There's no such thing as taking a bottle from a guy in that condition for me.

No, not one, I'll decide twenty and thirty!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!

"Grr!?

Come here. I went on a series of attacks as if to clear up all my depression.

I hear he's regained his sobriety right away. Through Agate's shield, I shoot in 'Cross'.

Until just now, I could only show protection, but this is my full attack.

Incidents such as "physical acceleration", "mental acceleration", and "range stagnation", which kept the output to a minimum, are also used to the limit.

There's nowhere anybody who can stop me now.

"That's it!

... Technically, you had one.

When I saw the fast attack I was launching, the referee came into a halt in a panic.

Agate's HP bar is nearly 70% shredded.

You've done a little too much.

"Agate Athlete HP Halved! Hence the winner, Singh!

And the referee declared that the winner of this battle was me.

I hear it as I breathe, I kneel down and approach the leaning agate.

"Did I still let you down?

"... No, that's not true. You were... the strongest tank I ever knew."

Apparently, I've been properly recognized by this guy.

They said it was a slap out earlier.

If I could get rid of that, there's only one word I'd say to this guy.

"Let's play again, Agate"

"Let's play... well, that would be nice... but I'll win next"

There were more competitors again.

There's a lot of losers around me.

Agate has told me to revenge with a trembling voice without showing me her face.

I jumped my chest from here to see how strong Agate was going to be, and walked away from the fighting field with the loss in mind that I was going to lose too.

Well.

Then let's go to Phil's.

I wonder why she was exposed.
