Chapter 181: Throwing Your Baton Like an Anchor Part 1
「Really now, nothing can ever beat good sushi!」
「It’s a tribute for all of your hard work, although I wouldn’t be mad if you chose to go to yakiniku instead.」
「Both are equally as good if you ask ……」
「And that’s the problem with you, Katsu-kun! You have to make a clean distinction when it cos to things like that!」
「So in other words you’re that kind of man that can’t appreciate the uniquiness properly. What a sha.」
「Why can’t you guys never agree onto sothing, even for a mont? And while we’re at it, I know that I said it’s my treat, but don’t you think you’re going a little bit overboard……?」
「You sure you want to say that? Co on now, show our dear Pumpkin-kun and myself here so appreciation. And let’s hear a word or two from him, while we’re being at it!」
Ehhh……? You’d really do sothing like that and catfish people to praise you……? It was really weird to see soone who would play like a complete demon act in such a middle-school manner.
Umm, umm…… Crap, I’m really no good when it cos to public speeches like that. That’s why I really hate public events!
「Ahh, umm…… By drinking Blood Riot, you can achieve the level of play that’s on par with Pro Gars. You should give it a shot from ti to ti.」
「Dude, are you so kind of sponsored influencer or sothing……?」
S-Shut your trap! I’m not quite like you guys, being able to throw cheesy lines around like it’s the most natural thing in the entire world!
Fuck , now my head starts to hurt. My caffeine fuel is exhausted, but I don’t want to risk overdosing on energy drinks too much. Looks like it’s going to be impossible for to play so ShanFro today after all that.
「Mister Pumpkin Head!」
「Uwoah!?」
Then I felt soone grabbing my hands from the side and forcefully turning around. Raising my eyes, I could see none other than Silvia Goldberg with her eyes sparkling brightly. She didn’t seem exhausted at all.
「Good ga! Good ga!」
「Eh, ah, likewise……」
The force and intensity with which she was shaking my hands showed just how excited she really was. But who would have thought…… It seems they understand Japanese, at least to so extent.
But sadly, my language capacities were fairly limited in real life…… Hey, co on, give so real-ti Babel here so I could at least understand them! Or at least tell them to speak Japanese, can you do that for ?
「Fufufu, what a sha, huh, Silvia Goldberg.」
「???」
「I’m nothing more but an assist here, you see our Kat…… I an, our boss wanted to defeat you in combat.」
「Eh? I didn’t say anything like that.」
「Yes you did, Katsu-kun. Yes you did. “I want to defeat Silvia with my own two hands, so please make that possible by buying as much ti as possible.」
「No, no, no, I most certainly didn’t say it like that!」
「T-That’s right! Kei will be the one who will end your undefeated streak! …… Isn’t that right?」
「GU!?!?」
Dude, you can’t even admit to your own faults even after we went so far and still manage to lose?
After a short pause, it seems that the aning of our words finally managed to reach Silvia Goldberg. Her facial expression, beautiful enough to be on the cover of so modeling magazine, was distorted by a ferocious smile.
「Don’t you worry, we’ll take responsibility and settle this so another ti.」
「Maybe once you’ll make it big as a Pro Gar. Although it won’t be an easy path to travel.」
「D-Do your best!」
「But don’t think we’ll make that climb any easier for you…… Oh well.」
Even though we’ve been joking around like that, it is true that no real gar ever plays with an intention to lose in the end.
We’ve all did our very best. Myself, Natsu-san and Pencilgton. We’ve also experinted quite a lot and tried a ton of different things.
「Well, having said that…… We’ve gone so far already, so don’t you dare to fuck this up.」
Show us a match that will be as good as Pencilgton’s, a match that will turn the whole city inside out and that will prove that you are better than etias once and for all.
「If I’ll win…… I get to decide what kind of food we are going to eat.」
「Of course it will be yakiniku.」
「It will be sushi.」
「I want to eat pasta.」
So maybe an Italian yakiniku? What do you say to that……?
「It’s the first ti you’ve spoken so clearly, Silvia.」
「You’ve been always using that suspicious combination of both English and Japanese…… Silvia.」
If the match is a Hero VS a Villain, Villain will always receive a thirty seconds of extra ti before the match actually begins. However, in Hero VS Hero scenario or Villain VS Villain, they will always start at the sa ti.
Right now, two Heroes are facing off against one another in Chaos City. Right now, all the damage from the previous gas was gone, so there was no trace of evil plants, exploding stuffed animals, leveled buildings or teor crates. The map was completely reset.
「It’s actually surprising to see you discard Amdrava.」
「I wanted to use him initially, but I decided not to in the end. Sotis the only thing that you need is a change of pace and perspective.」
In one corner, the teor-Hero, undefeated right until that point. In another corner, a different Hero wearing a silver jacket and pointing his finger at etias.
「Today I shall finally end your reign with this Hero here…… Silver Jumper!」
Even though they were surrounded by the cityscape that was about to turn into a warzone, Silvia could tell that the heart of her opponent was full of passion and burning fighting spirit, about ready to go all out.
Until that point, he lost to her ti and ti again. But even in spite of that, his spirit didn’t shatter and he was still bringing himself up after each fall, adamant on catching up to her and defeating her. Silvia really liked n who were so persistent in trying to get what they wanted.
「Well, well, well…… I’m really looking forward to this. Oh, yeah, but before we get to that…… Why cat ears? Is this your hobby or sothing like that?」
「Ahh, this? Those guys forced to do this. Please don’t worry about that. It’s better to not delve over their crazy for too long.」
「Is that so? Alright then. Well then, it’s finally ti…… If I end up winning today, will you tell the real identities of your Villain colleagues?」
「Ahahaha, fine by , but I’m warning you: they really lose a lot when you actually et them in person.」
It might have looked like a simple exchange of pleasantries between two rivals. But that statent couldn’t have possibly been furthest from the truth. Because in reality it was nothing short of a declaration of war.
Silver Jumper. It’s a side character that appeared on the pages of the comic book “Gold Edge” and is currently the oldest character under the Galaxia label.
Although it was a character that underwent many changes, reboots and adjustnts across the years, his core concept was always staying the sa.
「Easy to play, but difficult to master!」
「Now then…… Show how you’re going to beat !」
It seems that the blue teor Hero was not tired after all that fighting in the slightest. However, Kei had a different opinion on the matter. He was sure that the fights against Clock Fire and Cursed Prison managed to put quite a dent in the reigning champion.
Continously optimizing her own performance whilst not falling victim to fatigue. In other words, her actions were directly connected to her current approach to her opponent.
「Hitting your opponent square in the face is not the only way in which you can wing matches in this ga……!!!」
After running many tests, Katsu, Pencilgton, Sanraku and Natsu all concluded that the characters they could use during this exhibition match could be roughly split into three categories.
First category: “Fighter Types” such as etias and Cursed Prison.
It’s the most basic type, where the characters shine in close quarters combat and can pull off really impressive moves.
Next is the “Fixer” type, a type that refers to characters that are weak in direct combat and must rely on tools in order to succeed. Clock Fire is just a character like that.
Those characters tend to control the events from the shadows, thinking up plans and intricate strategies that would allow them to not engage in combat themselves.
And last but not least, the Seeker Type. Silver Jumper is the excellent representation of that playstyle.
He’s not nearly as powerful to have faith in close quarters combat, but at the sa licks the wit and cunning necessary to set traps and sche various evil plans. But if it’s like that, then at what characters like him excel at?
