Chapter 359 - Odd Opponents

When they arrive at the venue the next day, Lou and the others see the festival-like atmosphere around.

You can see different kinds of beings all around walking in a hurry or some are just looking around.

It seems that the High School Ranking Competition is pretty popular to the mass of any age in every race.

"We need to move faster, the first day of the High School Ranking Competition is pretty fast and hectic, we need to defeat 10 know high schools to pass to the quarter-finals for the 1st-year division." Mafuyu said.

"You mean that there's a different High School Ranking Competition later?" Lou asked.

"That's right, there are two categories that you need to know in this kind of competition, that is the Junior Division and the Senior Division,"

"You are going to complete for the Junior Competition later, while the other 2nd Year will Compete for the Senior Division,"

"By doing this you can get a proper Ranking and qualification to ascend to the next level and that is the quarter-final"

"In the quarter-finals, you will be asked if you're going to continue or now,"

"Why?" Rikka asked.

"Because the semifinals are the real challenge, in that level, there's no Senior or Junior, the only contender, you will go to fight in the name of your school, and the number of contenders is based on the number of people who will participate."

"The more people who got ranked and participated, the number of people on our team that we can choose before facing the opponent."

"I feel that the rule of the game is pretty bais to the school who has more number of strong students?" Lou asked.

"That's right, the rule is made for those who are strong, but don't worry, the game rule is finally decided before the match starts."

"What's that mean?"

"You will know it later, let's go first for your overall ranking." Mafuyu said.

Lou and others follow Mafuyu to the official challenge room, the game is pretty simple, that is the strongest wins, and the number of opponents you defeat the higher the ranking you will get.

They will go to match up to each other using a random machine and then transfer using a super VR technology that will scan them before the game starts.

Of course, the VR is pretty unique because it is made by a SSS Rank Technician who can sense the ability even if you hide it.

After that, you will get your initial ranking and after you win in the match your rank will ascend, this match-up will continue until the date of time for the ranking ends.

Of course, there are also hidden rules here, even if you don't start island acc.u.mulating wins, you can still get a high rank by challenging any opponent you want, and this privilege is for those who are confident enough.

If you're not confident enough then you should not do it because you will only get a messy ranking in the end if you lose, after all, there are no more people for you to defeat in the end to get a good ranking, so this hidden rule is like a double edge sword.

After hearing these hidden rules, the girls and Lou decide to use the normal procedure and win their way to the top.

...….

Lou first challenges, inside of the VR in a grassy field, Lou is currently standing holding a replica of his own weapon "Seraphim".

He tries to move around and amazed, sensing that he doesn't feel any discomfort at all, he feels that he's using his own body into a virtual reality one.

[ Challenge Ready..... The first challenger appeared in 5…. 4…. 3… 2…. 1….. ]

*Swish~

A lite suddenly starts to materialize in front of Lou.

[ Name: Kon, Race: Modified Soul , Class: Karakura-Raizer, Affiliation: Karakura High School, 0 Win/ 0 Lose ]

[ Match start in ….3 …. 2… 1…. Go!! ]

Lou speechless looking at his first opponent, a small stuffed lion standing in two legs idiotic looking around like a missing kid in a mall.

If he is not wrong, this stuffed toy is from the anime Bleach, and not only that, Kon is super weak…. Yeah, too weak that even a wild dog can kill him.

What he is confused about is, how the hell Kon appears here.

"Are you my opponents?" Kon haughty said after seeing Lou's stupefied face.

"I will tell you, I'm super strong, in my town, they call me Kon-sama, every girl like to hug me because of my fluffy body, i advise you to give up before you get hurt, kid,"

"Really?" Lou asked while slowly walking at him.

"-YYes.." Kon slowly backed out," I can kill Hollow using my muscled arms, I can even squeeze your head from your body if I want."

"Really? I'm scared, do I need to frustrate myself so that you will let me go?" Lou said, trying to look scared while slowly committing to him.

Kon tries to step back away again but he trips and sits on the ground," K-Kid, I'm telling you dont come closer, i cant promise you that i will not hurt you if you don't come closer?'

Lou who stood in front of him grabbed his stuffy head and teased him," Kon-sama, please don't hurt me, I will never gonna fight you."

"Really?"

"Of course….. NOT!!"

100 Hit Combo

"Sorry, I will not be arrogant again," Kon said while kneeling on the ground.

"Are you going to concede or I am going to remove one of your eyes before you admit it?"

"I concede!!"

[ Lou Takasu Win!! Next Challenge in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… ]

Lou petrified this time, looking at his new opponent, he doesn't know if the system of this game is joking at him or what.

This time is a young girl with straight, mid-length light purple hair, reaching down to about her shoulders, which she has tied into a high twin-tail with pink ribbons on each side. She has light brown eyes and a fair and light complexion.

She is currently hugging a teddy bear while nervous looking at Lou.

Lou's first question is." Are you really a high school student?"

"Y-Yes." The girl nervously said.

"How old are you, young lady?" Lou asked again.

"....10….. Kurumi …. Will be going to 11 this month ...."

"......" Lou finally speechless looking at the sky, asking what he did to get this kind of punishment.
