Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 49: You are cute, but...

Chapter 49: You are cute, but...

Tamazuki had never wielded a staff?

Why?

It was because he had never had an interest in one. But, more importantly, Gonta (chapter 4) was defeated by him with just a single bullet, so his impression of the staff was even worse.

However, he could learn.

His learning speed was fast.

It was so easy to learn with his current ability.

For him, a moment was enough for him to learn everything about Luo.

By using his learning ability, he could analyze and steal another opponent's technique by tracing them back down to their roots.

Frankly, if he wanted to, he could become Luo himself, and no one would find out that he was a fake. From habits, tastes in clothing, favorite sleeping posture, personality, and many others, he could learn everything about Luo with just a moment, but his opponent was just an extra. He didn't want to waste his precious brain capacity.

Still, the staff technique was quite good, but this definitely wasn't something that he would use, especially when it was wielded by an extra.

What was the use of an extra?

More importantly, he should focus on the semifinal since a heroine who could trigger his system would be his opponent, but before that, he had to face his next opponent.

By then, it was a one-man show of Tamazuki.

Everyone wanted to see him lose, yet what they saw was how amazing he was.

At this stage, there were 32 contestants, but because of him, there were only 31 contestants since he threw out all the contestants on the first stage before, but even so, he wouldn't face fewer opponents. Instead, before reaching the semifinal, he had to face three opponents, and during his three matches, everyone came up with a scary conclusion.

Tamazuki could copy the technique of his opponent.

With a single glance, a moment of the fight, he stole his opponent's techniques as if it were nothing.

The techniques, which opponents learned by themselves for so many years with their blood and sweat, were stolen by him in just a moment.

Naturally, they didn't want to believe it and thought that it was a coincidence, but not only once, but thrice!

He might have only fought three times, but during those three times, he defeated his opponents with what they were proud of the most.

In his first match, he stole a staff technique; in his second match, he stole a kick technique; and in his third match, he stole a three-section staff technique.

Moreover, he could improve all of those techniques easily, like he was the creator of those techniques.

As for his opponents, he didn't care, but the audience could tell that their future had ended, especially when they could tell how dead their eyes were. They might not be hurt, but their spirits and pride were spat on, crushed, shattered, and stomped into rubbish by him.

In the beginning, he didn't plan to do this since he knew how cruel this method was, yet there were too many honest and good people in Jie Long, so he couldn't help it.

Yet, this was a good thing since this was also a lesson for them that in this world, the result was the most important thing.

Hard work? That is one of the least important things.

"....."

Yet, Hufeng had to say if Tamazuki really became Xinglou's student, this guy would become a monster.

Tamazuki didn't know what conversation everyone had about him, but it didn't matter since it was normal for him to become the topic of everyone's conversation as he was famous.

Unlike Festa, which was held for several days, the Jie Long tournament was only held for two days, but it was normal since the Jie Long tournament was held during a weekend, and Festa was held on summer vacation.

With that said, after many battles, he reached the semifinals, and finally, he met the heroine, which was able to trigger his system.

"Nice to meet you, Inugami-san. I am Shenhua Li. Pleased to meet you."

Shenhua greeted him with a thin smile.

She wore a loose-fitting Jie Long uniform that hid the contours of her body except for her cleavage, which grew to be just the right size.

She was cute, and the bun hairstyle she wore on her hair suited her well.

"Pleased to meet you, Shenhua Li." He nodded, greeting her politely.

Shenhua stared at him for a moment before she apologized. "Firstly, I have to apologize to you."

"For?"

"Yes, for the pathetic showing of our peers yesterday and today, which was shameful for me as a student of the same school, but our school's reputation is at stake, so I will crush you, showing your pathetic state to everyone. I hope that you can accept my apology for that."

Even if her words were extremely rude, she still showed this thin smile on her face, yet unlike her face, her eyes were extremely fierce, showing that she would really crush him.

However, he didn't say anything and just stared at her.

"Did you regret your decision to enter the tournament? But it is too late since I will show you a nightmare."

She narrowed her eyes while imagining several ways to torture him in front of everyone.

He shook his head and said sincerely, "No, I just think that you are cute."

"Eh~!"

She let out a cute surprise voice and cute blushes on her cheeks.

"Unfortunately, that dirty mouth of yours ruins everything." He thought that he should punish her mouth well.

"..."

She stared at him gloomily as if telling him that she was going to crush him.

"BEGIN!"
