Full Court fell into a brief, deathly silence.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at the man who didn't even take a breath.
Later.
Deafening cheers erupted from the Class A and Class D camps.
"Too strong! Kagihara!"
"Monster, this is so!"
On the offensive side of White Team, Ryuen Kakeru squinted his eyes and looked at Kazehara Tetsu over there.
"Ha... is this your strength? Kazehara Tetsu."
He licked his dry lips, and the madness in his eyes only increased.
Kazehara Tetsu ignored the noise around him.
He turned around and looked at Shibata Hayato and Kanzaki Ryuji who were being helped up by everyone in Class B.
The two of them were still in a daze where their worldview collapsed.
Kazehara Tetsu walked over.
"Are you okay?" He stretched out his hand.
Kanzaki Ryuji looked at the hand stretched out in front of him.
It was this hand that burst out with enough power at that moment to throw a person like a sandbag.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and held Kazehara Tetsu's hand.
"... it's okay."
Kanzaki gave a bitter smile, that smile was full of weakness, "It seems that we underestimated you too much, Kagihara. That kind of power... is simply a foul level."
"Really?"
Kazehara Tetsu exerted a little force to pull him more steadily, and then let go.
"Maybe it's just because..."
"For me now, you guys... are a little too light."
It didn't give Competitors much time to breathe and celebrate. Sports Festival's tight schedule no longer allowed for any extra warmth.
When Kazehara Tetsu retreated from the front line to Red Team's Lounge Area, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to have undergone a subtle change.
Especially the group of boys from Class D.
"Hey... is it true..."
A boy named Class D looked at Kazehara Tetsu walking over and subconsciously took half a step back.
"That scene just now... that scene where Shibata and Kanzaki were thrown out, did that really happen? Did I read that correctly?"
"That's too outrageous! Just... flew out in a 'swish'?"
"... Could he be possessed by some kind of biochemical Monster?"
Admirations and exclamations came and went.
Faced with these compliments that came in like a flood, with some even wanting to worship him, Kazehara Tetsu seemed to have no feeling at all.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that I practiced a little more basic strength on weekdays, plus I just used a little centrifugal force technique. As long as you practice more, anyone can do it."
lies.
The students around Class D looked at each other with expressions of "even if you are lying, you should be a little more careful."
Practice more?
What a joke!
Who doesn't know where the limits of human beings are?
The kind of Explosive Power that can generate enough force with one arm to resist the combined force of two people and throw it cannot emerge from the body of a carbon-based creature through ordinary "training".
"What a... scary guy."
Someone muttered something in a low voice. Although the words contained a sour taste, the morale was boosted by the existence of this "Great Buddha".
At least, if you follow this kind of Monster, it seems you can really win.
Referee raised his hand to indicate that the second round was about to begin.
"Okay, that's enough chit-chat."
Red Team's strategy has not changed.
Class A, continue the full attack!
At the other end, White Team's formation has changed.
Perhaps he realized that the upright defense of Class B was as fragile as paper in the face of the unreasonable and strange power of Kazehara Tetsu.
In this round, Class C, who was originally responsible for attacking, returned to the defensive area.
Instead, it was Class B's team that launched the charge.
But at this moment, Kazehara Tetsu doesn't care about Class B's movements.
As long as Class A's attack speed is fast enough to end the game before Class B touches Red Team's pole, that is victory.
His eyes were fixed on the core of Class C's defensive position.
There, a group of people stood.
Compared with Class B's group-based defensive positioning, Class C's formation looks weird.
They did not spread out to build multi-layer Defense Line, but concentrated most of their main force around the important long pole, forming an airtight iron barrel array.
And the moment Kazehara Tetsu stepped into the territory of Class C.
The originally crowded crowd even took the initiative to open a gap, like a trap inviting you to fall into the trap.
Immediately afterwards, when Kazehara Tetsu rushed in, the hole closed instantly.
In all directions.
Several boys from Class C, as if they had planned it in advance, did not reach out to push him immediately. Instead, they used their bodies to block him and surrounded Kazehara Tetsu.
This kind of containment is not just for blocking.
Kazehara Tetsu's gaze swept around.
Front, back, left and right, there are faces full of malice like Class C.
They stuck close to each other, and even the huge black man Albert stood on the outside, completely blocking the sight of the outside Referee.
If you look from outside the venue, you can only see a group of people like Class C surrounding something, and you can't see the specific body movements inside.
"That's it."
Kazehara Tetsu stopped, and the corners of his mouth curved into a playful arc.
"Using human walls to create 'visual blind spots'?"
Referee is invisible.
This means that the boundaries of the rules become blurred.
Here, as long as there is no bloodshed that can be seen at a glance.
Even if it is a dirty move, a trip, or even a covert lethal action like Elbow Strike, it will be regarded as a "physical confrontation of last resort" and Tacit Approval.
It's really Ryuen Kakeru's style.
Dirty, but effective.
"Hehe... you can't run away now, can you?"
"Weren't you very arrogant just now?"
The students around Class C jeered, and some people had begun to stretch out their feet in the dark, or push their knees against Kazehara Tetsu.
This is their strategy.
Even if you are Monster, you will be pulled by a dozen hands at the same time and tripped by a dozen feet at the same time in an invisible place.
Coupled with some vicious tricks from time to time, even an iron man will be brought down.
However.
They seem to have forgotten a basic logic.
When the curtain is closed, you can't see people outside, and people outside can't see you.
Same reason.
When Referee couldn't see what Class C did to Kazehara Tetsu, Referee also couldn't see... what Kazehara Tetsu did to Class C's people.
"I said..."
Kazehara Tetsu ignored those small movements like mosquito bites.
He didn't even look down at the feet trying to trip him, but stepped on them directly.
"Click."
Although it was not broken, being crushed like this definitely made the attacker's toes scream in agony.
But because of the noisy shouts around him, the scream was perfectly covered up.
Kazehara Tetsu raised his head and looked beyond the people in front of him, to the man standing under the pole behind the layered wall of people.
Ryuen Kakeru.
