Chapter Forty-Four: The Match

  Mahoboro Festival COSPLAY Selection Contest.

  This is an activity that was not announced on the official event schedule. Ordinary students generally don't know about this activity, and those who come here to participate in the competition are all otakus.

  And here is COSPLAY for specific roles, such as sailor suits, nurse dresses, and sports shorts, which will make you laugh to death when worn.

  Nagato brought me here, apparently to watch Senya's match.

  But she seemed hesitant about whether or not to go on stage, and Negi was flatly turned down when he asked her.

  "Not going on stage." I was surprised when I heard her refuse Nekomata. "But, I've already signed you up!"

  "Don't make decisions for me arbitrarily!!!"

  "But I think Negi's words are definitely possible." Negi took a deep breath, "Because I feel that Negi seems to be very good at these things, and it's really amazing."

  Uh-huh, I nodded in agreement too. The strength of a net idol isn't something to be taken lightly.

  "But, Senpai Chihiro, you're so pretty and cute, it would be a waste if you didn't participate."

  In the face of Negi's praise, she was completely unmoved and said lightly: "Negi-sensei, you just don't understand. Although Chisame-chan is very cute, my true self is just an ordinary junior high school girl."

  "Even if I go to participate, the outcome can be foreseen... Not engaging in a high-risk win-or-lose contest with others is my style, don't mind me."

  I heard it, just a lack of confidence, nothing serious.

  Nagato shot him a look, and Nagato said loudly: "I think you should go participate in the competition, Senbatsu."

  Before he knew it, she had already lifted him up and was rushing straight to the stage.

  "Dummy, put me down! Didn't I tell you? Without eyes, there's no way to appear in front of people!"

  "Huh? Why is that?" I asked in puzzlement.

  "Because... I get nervous..."

  That's quite an excuse, but it won't work.

  At last, after much persuasion, she was pushed out before the game ended and had even changed into a black outfit.

  Well, if it were just a matter of talking about it with a thousand words, she would definitely not agree to it. Although I used a bit of hypnosis in the process, it was all for her own good.

  When Qian Yu stepped onto the stage, hypnosis just happened to be in contact with her, and now it's up to her own performance.

  However, what surprised me and Negi was...

  Qian Yu suddenly burst into tears and sat on the ground in embarrassment.

  But what's even more astonishing is that the audience was very satisfied with this performance, and after unanimous recognition, Qian Yu was pushed onto the champion's throne.

  Things in the world are indeed wonderful.

  "Huh? What's this?" Two black lines floated in the air when Negi celebrated the birth of a champion.

  The moment I saw the black line, a scene suddenly flashed in my mind.

  This is...

  Before he could finish his thought, Negi grabbed two black strings with both hands and pulled them.

  "Idiot, those two black lines are... stop right there!!!"

  With a rustling sound, the magnificent clothes on Qian Yu's body fell off and scattered all over the ground.

  ……

  Although I don't know how Negi survived in the end, judging from his appearance, it seems that he was thoroughly disliked.

  Uh... at that time I saw something was wrong and left immediately.

  Although some people say sorry to Nezha, there is a saying that goes like this: "A dead friend is better than a poor one."

  Then at six o'clock the next morning.

  The final day of the Mahoroba Ryudo martial arts tournament.

  When I entered the venue, most of the participants had already arrived.

  When I went in with Yvonne, except for a few guys who looked over after noticing us, everyone else seemed to be busy with their own things.

  Those who knew Yui's true identity were Ryuguu Rin, Nagasumi Taki, Goro, Negi, and Rondou...

  Those who haven't appeared are some supporting characters, just people who increase the protagonist's experience points.

  "Welcome everyone to participate in the competition, the first match will be held thirty minutes later..."

  Suddenly, a voice came from beside, it was the reporter Asakura, and as everyone's eyes were drawn to her, she began to explain the rules of the match, such as out-of-bounds ten seconds, down for ten seconds, knockout, submission...

  Yi Wenjie Lin seems to have no interest in these at all, it's better to say that she participated in this competition just for fun.

  If she were to fully recover with her actual strength, it would likely take the combined efforts of all the top experts in Mashōryū to suppress her.

  If she doesn't fall into some kind of trap, wanting to seal her is simply a pipe dream.

  To this day, I still have a lot of admiration for Najji. That guy actually sealed an authentic vampire with just some onions and garlic. That's really overpowered.

  Maybe it's related to him giving Yvonne Lim a chance to shine.

  "What's on your mind?" asked Yilin curiously.

  "No, nothing." I patted her head, and she just blushed a little without dodging.

  Suddenly, I felt that the hem of my clothes was lightly pulled, and Yijian Lin's face turned red as she turned her head to one side, but the hand grasping the hem did not let go.

  "What you said will never leave me."

  I smiled and nodded, saying: "Forever and always."

  ……

  Thirty minutes later, the first game began, and the onlookers had already packed the place to the brim, seemingly filled with anticipation for the big match, but absolutely no one could have expected just how explosive things were about to get.

  This is something that ordinary people may never see in their lifetime.

  The first match's participants are Kotaro and Satsuki Kuroba, a junior who once trained Negi Springfield.

  According to the blonde female student's explanation, this Ai Yi used to study at Johnson Magic Academy in the US and was a genius who got all A's in magic practice, and also learned the ability to use magic without reciting incantations.

  Generally speaking, it's like having an arch-nemesis.

  But as for the result, it's completely different.

  Kotaro used a swift movement technique and with one strike of his palm wind, he sent her flying out to land in the water pool outside the arena.

  Won easily.

  The next few games ended easily.

  Just like the match with Kohtarou, there was too much of a difference in strength between the two sides, and it wasn't interesting at all.

  After Kotaro's victory, Gurnard Santes, also known as Negi's father's partner and a member of the Crimson Wings, quietly won as well.

  And my opponent, what's-his-name Nakamura Tatsuya, was also instantly killed by me and thrown out of the arena.

  It wasn't until the fourth game that it became really worth watching.

  Longgong True Name VS Gufi

  One is the heir of ancient boxing, and the other is a dragon palace who has been on the battlefield.

  The game seems to have entered what is called ** from this time on.
