"Could you please loosen your grip? My ribs are broken and haven't fully healed yet."
Baifeng Uesugi managed a weak smile.
"Ah."
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, both Shizuku Kitayama and Miyuki Shiba exclaimed in surprise and quickly released Baifeng Uesugi.
"Um..." Shizuku Kitayama looked at the cold sweat on Baifeng Uesugi's forehead and felt so guilty that she couldn't speak.
"I'm so sorry, I'm terribly sorry, I was rash."
Miyuki Shiba, on the other hand, kept apologizing.
"In fact, instead of feeling guilty, you should help me down here sooner rather than later. To be honest, I really can't hold on any longer."
After saying that, Baifeng Uesugi collapsed onto the two of them.
"Ah."
The two gasped in surprise upon seeing Baifeng Uesugi collapse.
" Miyuki, Shizuku, hurry up and take Bai Feng to get treated," Tatsuya Shiba reminded them.
The main reason was that Tatsuya Shiba simply couldn't stand it anymore. It was one thing for Shizuku Kitayama Miyuki Shiba was so careless at this moment that she didn't even notice the injury on Baifeng Uesugi's body. Moreover, if the two of them continued to delay like this, Baifeng Uesugi would really be in trouble.
He had just used his Elemental Sight to check on Baifeng Uesugi's condition. His ribs were broken and dislocated because the two of them had hugged Baifeng Uesugi too tightly, and the broken ribs had pierced into his internal organs.
"Oh, Shizuku, let's help Bai Feng back for treatment."
"Miyuki Shiba quickly said."
"Um."
Afterwards, Shizuku Kitayama and Miyuki Shiba each helped Baifeng Uesugi back, one on each side.
"This..." Leo stared at the scene before him, unsure of what to say.
" Bai Feng isn't faking it, it's true. His ribs are dislocated, and because of what happened with Miyuki and Shizuku earlier, the broken ribs have pierced his internal organs."
Tatsuya Shiba explained.
"Ah,"
Leo exclaimed in surprise, then looked at the three people in front of him, silently mourning for Baifeng Uesugi in his heart.
"Is Bai Feng alright?"
Mayumi Saegusa at the temporary camp, also saw what had just happened through the big screen. Although she felt a little jealous, she was only worried when Baifeng Uesugi collapsed on top of the two of them.
" Bai Feng has broken ribs, but judging from his appearance, it doesn't seem like it's that simple."
Shizuku Kitayama explained.
"Quickly, take it back for a checkup."
Mayumi Saegusa led the way, taking them directly to the infirmary.
"How is it?" Mayumi Saegusa asked.
"Massive blood loss, broken and dislocated ribs. The fracture site has punctured internal organs due to pressure. It's just strange, how could internal organs be damaged a second time? Strange, really strange."
The doctor looked at the test report with a puzzled expression.
"Doctor, let's treat him first," Mayumi Saegusa advised.
"Okay, you guys go outside and wait."
The doctor then ushered the three out and began treatment.
"You two, I have to say, you knew Bai Feng was so badly injured during the competition, yet you still carried him with such force, and there were two of you at once."
Mayumi Saegusa naturally knew what the doctor meant by "secondary injury"—the culprits were none other than these two in front of her.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was in such a hurry that I didn't think about Bai Feng's injury earlier."
Miyuki Shiba understood then that the hug earlier had caused Baifeng Uesugi's internal organs to be injured again.
"I'm sorry, I was just too worried about Bai Feng," Shizuku Kitayama said apologetically.
"Alright, you two just need to be more careful next time."
Seeing the guilty looks on their faces, Mayumi Saegusa had so much she wanted to say to scold them, but now she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"I'll stay and take care of Bai Feng tonight. You two go back and calm down first, then come back tomorrow morning."
Mayumi Saegusa said.
"But..." Before Shizuku Kitayama could say anything more, she was interrupted by Mayumi Saegusa.
"Okay then, I'll come over tomorrow morning."
Seeing Mayumi Saegusa, Miyuki Shiba had no choice but to agree that Baifeng Uesugi would take care of Uesugi Hakuka tonight.
'Hehehe, you're too green to mess with me. Tonight, Brother Bai Feng is all mine.'
At this moment, Mayumi Saegusa was inwardly laughing wildly, while also wildly admiring her own wit.
" First High School is definitely going to win the championship..."
"If the First High School wins the championship like this, we'll have to pay out over a hundred million dollars, and that's in US dollars."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You mean to give up? That's just sitting here waiting to die."
"With such heavy losses, we can't possibly die a quick death. At best, we'll become mindless spellcasting machines."
"At this point, we have no choice but to resort to any means necessary."
"That's right. There's no reason to hesitate now if we're going to be ruthless. Even if the customers become suspicious, as long as we don't leave any evidence, they won't have anything to say."
"Yes, that's right. Send someone to inform our inside contact that all the students from First High School will have to forfeit their participation in the Mirage Bat two days later. It's a forced forfeit."
"If I'm lucky, I won't die; if I'm unlucky..."
In a secluded room, five middle-aged men sat around a round table, discussing how to prevent First High School from winning the championship.
Moreover, their conversation reveals that they are not benevolent people.
Two days later...
"This should be good weather for the Mirage Bat event," Tatsuya Shiba said worriedly, looking at the sky.
"But something feels off; it seems like a storm is brewing."
"What will happen next?" Miyuki Shiba asked, puzzled.
"After all, we don't know their intentions, and we can't confirm what will happen," Tatsuya Shiba replied.
