The four's strange combination skill successfully made Shu's gaze linger for a second, and then his gaze, along with his thoughts, began to diverge.
And Kiana, who was closest to Shu, still had the thought of "Shu's desire to win is particularly strong" in her mind. The first time Shu looked at her, her expression suddenly tightened, and she took the initiative to lower her head.
It was for no other reason than to cover her six glowing golden cards.
Hee hee, I must win, I must avoid the rule of 'you don't need to be attacked, as long as the two of them can make cute jokes in real life, they can ask for a card at any time, and the other person will have to give up a card as long as they can't pretend to be unfamiliar'!
Shu had to admit that his choice to turn his head instead of lowering it was indeed with the intention of getting help from the people next to him.
But everyone didn't seem to get his meaning. They just wanted to see him "tortured to death" by Sin Mal.
Look at this Kiana, she even lowered her head and started to cover her cards. Do I look so much like a robber?! Can I snatch your cards just by looking at you for two more seconds?!
Shu, who was filled with grief and indignation, finally decided to walk towards the most tolerant execution ground with a fiery and stubborn heart. He looked at Sin Mal, ready to wait for Siegfried to tell him what to do.
However, the development of events seemed to indicate that he didn't need to do anything next. The few seconds of staring and pausing were just some inexplicable bad taste of Sin Mal's.
She grinned at the resolute-faced Shu, revealing a mouthful of snow-white shark teeth. In front of everyone, she drew a card and slammed it on the chessboard. "This great one activates 'Bullying' on you! Conduct a 'Will' judgment!"
"Bullying"?
Shu hadn't even seen clearly what was written on the card when a device that was probably a hand grip strengthener was pulled out of the pile of props by Siegfried and stuffed into his left hand.
Bullying... although this was a very bad word, and in this kind of game, it would be more appropriate to replace it with "bullying," but the meaning was still the same. In general, it should be the strong bullying the weak.
So, was this hand grip strengthener used to show the strength of his "resistance"? As long as the force was too great, he could be exempt from this judgment?
Shu's slightly dazed eyes instantly became incomparably firm, as firm as those newcomers who wanted to join Fire Moth.
Sorry, Sin Mal, I can't let your judgment succeed!
Shu deliberately switched the hand grip strengthener to his right hand, which was more convenient for exerting force. The muscles under his already fair skin suddenly tensed up.
The pointer of the hand grip strengthener jumped slightly. Shu was silent for a moment, then exerted force again. The pointer suddenly shot up to the highest value, trembling violently on the verge of breaking the meter, as if it wanted to break free from its shackles.
He was the strongest warrior of Fire Moth. It was normal for his grip strength to be a little stronger, right?
"Wow!" Everyone let out a gasp of surprise. Even Siegfried couldn't help but crane his neck and look at the hand grip strengthener in Shu's hand in shock.
Only Bianka seemed to have noticed something. She looked at Shu, who was about to crush the hand grip strengthener, in astonishment.
She seemed to have sensed the aura of [Wish] being activated?
No, that wasn't the problem right now. What were the rules of this game? Why did it feel so much more complicated than fighting!
That's right, Shu was not the only "newbie" on the field. As a "newborn" with only a few months of memory, and who had spent almost all her time on the run and in battle, Bianka was also clueless about this game.
But she also had a super advantage that Shu was far from having!
"Rita, what does this mean?" Bianka lowered her head and asked Rita in a low voice.
Yes, this was an advantage that Shu could never hope to achieve! Everyone knew she was a newbie, and no one cared about this newbie's questions. She herself didn't care either, so she could ask as much as she wanted.
But Shu couldn't. He couldn't even get past himself.
Rita took a serious look at the hand grip strengthener that was about to be crushed by Shu. A hint of surprise also flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but take another look at Shu, then she withdrew her gaze and began to explain to Bianka in a low voice.
"The ability that Miss Sin Mal activated is 'Bullying.' It is to choose a fixed target and conduct a 'Will' judgment on it, which is that hand grip strengthener. As long as the grip strength exceeds two kilograms, it means that the 'resistance' is successful."
"What's the effect of successful resistance? What about unsuccessful resistance?" Bianka scratched her head and asked.
Rita laughed, a laugh that came from the bottom of her heart.
"If the resistance is successful, then of course, Miss Sin Mal's skill 'Bullying' will be invalid. On the contrary~ then 'Bullying' will be successfully activated."
"So... what's the effect of 'Bullying'?"
"It's to forcibly give your own cards to others," Rita said with a smile. Bianka nodded in understanding. Half a second later, Bianka's spirit suddenly lifted.
"Giving your own cards to others?!"
Bianka looked back and forth between the card that had been played and Shu's successful "resistance" in disbelief. She couldn't figure out why the situation would be as Rita had said.
"Is this really 'Bullying'?" Bianka felt that she had read enough novels, and she had some understanding of "bullying"... she had never heard of any kind of bullying like this?
"Of course," Rita smiled and reached out, taking out a card from her own hand that was exactly the same as the one Sin Mal had played and handed it to Bianka for her to take a closer look.
Bianka took the card in confusion. She took a closer look and suddenly blinked hard.
"Dad... dad..."
Shu's ears twitched. The hellish development of the past two days made him look at Bianka reflexively, only to see her with a look of seeing something dirty.
"'Fatherly' love? It's actually this 'dad'?!" [T/N: The Chinese word for bullying, 霸凌 (bà líng), sounds very similar to 爸凌 (bà líng), which could be interpreted as "fatherly love" or "father's care."]
Shu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He looked down, and his eyeballs almost popped out.
[Fatherly Love!: Sometimes care is like a father's love. It doesn't need a reason, it doesn't need to be refused, and it doesn't need to be thanked! Give the best you can give to the person you want to help the most! (Can be refused by a resistance judgment)]
The strength in his hand suddenly dissipated. The hand grip strengthener, which had been squeezed to its limit, sprang back and broke free from his hand. The sound of it falling to the ground seemed to show Shu's heartbroken state.
He hadn't seen clearly just now, but now he understood. The two words were completely different from what he had expected!
This game has a hammer's logic!
"Ahem..." Siegfried's light cough broke the long silence on the field. While silently putting away the hand grip strengthener, he also gave Shu the final result.
"Shu's resistance was successful. Now, Sin Mal and Shu's positions are reversed. Shu, you are now the activator of 'Fatherly Love' and need to give Sin Mal at least one card..."
