The Almighty Chuunibyou Expert

Hasegawa Izumi simply used an 'Iron Mountain Lean' to shove Hiiragi Gosho, who was much taller than him, aside, breaking through in time.

Then came the familiar scene of scoring...

They tried every method, even actions bordering on fouls, but still couldn't change the outcome.

"How are we supposed to play this?"

Bursting with energy, then flagging, then exhausted.

Faced with an overwhelming gap, even the Basketball Club members, no matter how spirited, couldn't help but lose their morale and feel despair at this point.

"Sigh..."

Hasegawa Izumi noticed the change in the opposing team's emotions and couldn't help but sigh.

How lonely it is to be invincible, how empty it is to be invincible...

Since that's the case, I won't hold back anymore!

"Clack..."

Immediately after, Hasegawa Izumi made another clean steal.

"Defense!"

Hyuga Konji continued to direct and arrange everyone's actions.

Although their fighting spirit was gradually disappearing due to the loss of hope for victory, they had no intention of directly giving up the match based on their own principles.

Just then, they saw the opposing side make another astonishing move.

Hasegawa Izumi actually stopped right after crossing the center line.

"Hey, he's not thinking of..."

"Don't tell me? He's going to shoot from there?"

"Can something like that even be done?"

The Basketball Club members momentarily forgot they were still in a match and all stopped in place, staring blankly at the scene unfolding before them, which was like a performance.

Hasegawa Izumi leaped up, made a shooting motion, and the basketball he released formed an extremely high parabola, landing precisely in the net without missing!

"I forgot to tell you all, my shooting range is actually the entire court."

Saying that, he jogged back.

What on earth were we doing before this?

If you had told us you could do that earlier, how would we have dared to play you? We would have just surrendered!

The Basketball Club members' feelings at this moment were indescribable.

Perhaps they would never forget the shadow this man cast upon them in their lifetime.

"You're doing this on purpose to mess with us, aren't you!"

Even Akamine, who had a more fiery temper, directly accused him on the spot.

"Don't misunderstand, I don't have that much free time to target you."

Hasegawa Izumi slowly stopped, turned his head 45 degrees to the side, and said, "I just thought a solo breakthrough would be cooler."

His words and expression were completely genuine.

The Basketball Club members deeply realized their own insignificance; they had never been taken seriously by this person.

No wonder the Tennis Club and Go Club went into seclusion after their losses.

It turned out, it turned out they had all suffered difficult-to-heal spiritual injuries.

In the subsequent battle, the Basketball Club members completely relaxed their minds. Even when they witnessed some unconventional shooting, they found it unremarkable.

"Beep~!"

As the whistle blew to end the match, the final score for the Far East Magic Society was fixed at a glaring number—100.

Well, this was Hasegawa Izumi's evaluation of his hardworking teammates.

He was very satisfied that they could reach this level within these few days.

"Wow!"

"Hasegawa, you're amazing!"

"From now on, I'm your fan!"

Amidst the continuous cheers, the disappointed retreated, while the satisfied walked towards their teammates with contentment.

"Sage."

"Lord Sage!"

"Izumi-chan."

"Hasegawa."

The four girls all looked at him with happy expressions, and led by Chika, Rikka and Dekumori followed suit, high-fiving him to celebrate.

Only the last girl's eyes drifted.

"Nibuya?"

He asked softly.

"Thanks to you! Hasegawa."

Nibuya Morika clearly sighed, putting on a helpless expression, and came over to high-five him.

This made him very satisfied.

Mori Summer's body had returned, but her spirit had not.

However, after this battle, she had clearly taken a big step forward.

"Hasegawa-kun, please give me some time, I want to discuss something with you..."

"I don't want to bear it, I'm not interested, thank you."

The Basketball Club coach ran over first. Before the other party could speak, Hasegawa Izumi, as if accustomed to it, raised his hand to refuse, and then left with Rikka and the others towards another exit.

"Eh, how did he guess what I wanted to say?"

The Basketball Club coach was stunned for a moment.

Just then, a strong first-year freshman came up to him, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "Coach, I want to play basketball! Please, teach me those special moves!"

"Th-this, I don't know that either!"

The coach instantly broke out in a sweat and scratched his head.

Hasegawa Izumi and his group didn't go far, but headed towards the small park in Shuchiin.

He hadn't forgotten that there was an interview scheduled with the News Department after the match.

"Hasegawa-kun, wait!"

Before they could even sit down, they heard the three girls from the News Department eagerly call out.

Urgent footsteps came from behind.

This time, Asahi Shizuku, Kyose Erika, and Ki Karen all came together, showing how much they valued this.

"Hasegawa-kun, your performance this afternoon was absolutely amazing!"

Ki Karen held a notebook in one hand, her expression visibly excited.

"Mhm, mhm."

Kyose Erika nodded like a little squirrel.

Their previously indifferent, idiotic attitude was now like that of fangirls.

Brothers, playing basketball really works!

Of course, you also have to be handsome like him.

"You two, control your emotions! Maintain professional ethics!"

Asahi Shizuku couldn't help but remind them.

"Yes."

The two girls nodded weakly, realizing their loss of composure.

Changing locations, they moved to a pavilion.

The News Department, as usual, interviewed the entire team and asked some little secrets.

For example, why Rikka and the others were able to perform so astonishingly.

"Is this very strange? If the power of the Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King couldn't be used, there would be no need for the Sage to make a move, I could have easily dealt with them."

"That's right, mere mortals, even Dekumori never took them seriously, death!"

Rikka and Dekumori answered quite frankly.

"Alright, next person."

Ki Karen waved her hand perfunctorily.

Fujiwara Chika and Nibuya Morika's answers were much more normal, saying things like 'train to death' and 'it's all thanks to Hasegawa's good teaching.'

"Hasegawa, it's your turn."

Soon, three pairs of eyes looked at him expectantly.

"Let's start with the key points of the 'Blue Butterfly Swirling Cloud Body Movement'..."

Hasegawa Izumi first explained the mysteries of the technique in language they could barely understand, then smoothly transitioned to the next segment, which was eagerly anticipated by all the teachers and students.

"I won't talk trash this time, I'll just talk a little about my regrets."

As he said this, his expression suddenly became a bit desolate and lonely, and he looked up at the distant sky.

"I have roamed Shuchiin for over three weeks, defeated countless opponents, crushed all heroes, and yet I cannot find a single defeat. Alas, it is truly lonely... Sigh!"

"If the Kendo Club can entertain me further, that will be enough."

The three members of the News Department exchanged glances, all feeling speechless.

Isn't that just trash talk?

How much does he like saying that!

This is exactly the opponent I was hoping for!

"Goodbye, Hasegawa-kun."

"See you next week... no, the week after next."

"I look forward to you, Hasegawa, being the one to laugh until the end and liven up Shuchiin, which hasn't changed in so long!"

After the visit concluded, the three from the News Department hurried back to organize the entire interview content and publish it on the school website.

When they discovered that Hasegawa Izumi's dream-like challenge might actually succeed, they became very enthusiastic. Besides wanting to see the show, as Pure Academy students, they understood Shuchiin better and felt even more dissatisfaction.

Previously, no one had the ability, but now that someone could finally step up, they were naturally overjoyed.

After bidding farewell to the News Department, the remaining issue was within the team.

Strictly speaking, they were just a hastily assembled team with no deep friendships, and after the challenge, they were bound to fall apart.

"Well then, Izumi-chan, I still have club matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave~ Today's match was great! I felt your surging masculinity, Izumi-chan, and felt so protected~"

Fujiwara Chika winked playfully, made a gesture with her right hand, and turned to leave without much hesitation.

"The decadent humans have finally left. It's time for us to get down to business."

Takanashi Rikka watched her go, then turned back and asked.

"Sage, what do you think of Dekumori? Is she qualified to join our organization and become someone who walks alongside us?"
