Several days later, Zhong Chen returned to Geminar.
Looking at the female students below, dressed in very revealing clothes, he swallowed and muttered,
"The Martial Arts Tournament is finally about to begin."
During this time, Zhong Chen had experienced a lot with seikishi and others, whether it was watching seikishi being chased by girls everywhere, just like in the original story.
Or acting as a referee watching Aura and seikishi's cooking duel, although he didn't go to Haponiwa to experience a pillow fight.
But Zhong Chen felt that he had lived a rather fulfilling life, however, the leisurely days were about to end soon.
After the Martial Arts Tournament was the day the villains' plan for the entire anime began.
But with Zhong Chen's Holy Land, could it really still be breached by Babaron?
At this moment, Litia, the Student Council President, stood on a hovercraft, holding a black and white signal flag, looking at all the contestants.
"Ready? Go!"
As Litia waved the signal flag, all the contestants rushed out like wild horses unleashed.
Litia watched the surging crowd with satisfaction until a strange counting sound reached her ears.
"17, 18, 19, 20, 21..."
Looking at seikishi continuously counting there, Litia rolled her eyes and controlled the hovercraft to his side.
"Wild animal, what exactly are you doing?"
Hearing Litia's words, seikishi asked with a bewildered expression:
"Huh? Didn't the competition rules say that we had to count to ten thousand before starting?"
Hearing seikishi's words, Litia shouted at him with a crumbling expression:
"There's no such rule at all! Get going immediately!"
Startled, seikishi hastily agreed and began to move.
However, every step he took was exceptionally slow.
"What exactly are you tied to, running like that?!"
Litia looked at the huge metal weights tied behind seikishi and jumped in front of him, shouting loudly.
"But the rules said..."
Before seikishi could finish speaking, Litia grabbed his shoulders and yelled at him:
"Don't you think it's strange at all, you idiotic wild animal?! Take it off quickly!"
"Yes! Ow, ow, ow!"
Seeing seikishi struggling to remove it for a long time, Litia quickly ordered a nearby seikishi:
"Hey, you, quickly cut this thing off for me!"
As the greatsword in the seikishi's hand fell, the chain snapped.
seikishi bowed politely to thank him, while Litia on the side continued to shout loudly:
"I didn't tell you to thank me, get going immediately!"
"Yes!!!"
Litia watched seikishi's gradually receding figure and let out a soft sigh of relief.
Someone here might ask, why was Litia so worried about seikishi? The truth is this.
Because of the large number of participants in the Martial Arts Tournament, the greedy Lashara opened a betting pool.
And seikishi, due to his usual performance, became a popular candidate for the championship.
This led to many people betting on seikishi to win, and if seikishi did win, Lashara would suffer a huge loss.
So she secretly instilled many strange rules into seikishi.
Litia herself had also bet on seikishi to win, which was why she was so anxious for him to set off quickly.
"Hahaha, little girl Lashara, you're really going all out to avoid losing money!"
Zhong Chen said to Lashara beside him with a meaningful smile on his face.
Lashara, on the other hand, muttered unhappily:
"Damn Litia, always causing trouble! Why not just tell seikishi to cheat with magic!"
"This tournament explicitly states that no magic is allowed. If discovered, participation will be immediately disqualified!"
"Furthermore, in front of me, a teacher specifically supervising this matter, aren't you being a bit too arrogant by being so blatant?"
Zhong Chen reached out and tapped Lashara's head before speaking.
"Ow (That hurts)! I was just saying it."
"Heh, if I don't keep an eye on you, you'll definitely do something like that."
Zhong Chen knew Lashara too well; that girl would use any means to make money.
The situation that followed was no different from the original story, eventually turning into a duel between seikishi and Aura.
seikishi, in the end, went berserk due to Kea's threat and easily defeated Aura.
Lashara looked at seikishi, who had gone berserk and crossed the finish line, and immediately slumped into her chair with an expression of utter despair.
"Little girl, see? Gambling is harmful; it's better to stay away from it honestly!"
Zhong Chen teased Lashara with the expression of an experienced person.
He, too, was once a man who had reigned supreme in pachinko parlors, though the final outcome was too horrible to behold.
But that didn't stop him from standing in the position of a senior and giving Lashara advice.
"It's too late to say anything now, my money..."
The next day, the students of the Holy Land were taking their usual stroll when they suddenly felt as if something was approaching from a distance.
Boom, boom, boom... A series of violent explosions reached the ears of the female students present, and the resulting tremors caused them to fall to the ground involuntarily.
"Ah, ah, ah!!!"
"What happened?"
"The security office was..."
The female students watched in shock at the sudden appearance of numerous seikishi and the destroyed defensive facilities.
At this moment, a male student piloting a seikishi murmured as he watched the approaching flagship fortress:
"Has it arrived? I need to earn some more brownie points!"
These male students had all been persuaded by Dagumaya.
To escape the fate of being mere breeding stock for male Seikishi, they chose to participate in Babaron's plan to occupy the Holy Land.
As the Seikishi piloted by these male students continuously attacked, the entire defense system of the Holy Land was progressively destroyed.
Zhong Chen stood on a distant high ground, watching it all unfold.
"A fortress is usually breached from within; that saying is truly not false."
"Look, the big guy is here! I think little girl Lashara must be frantically scratching her head right now!"
Zhong Chen watched the Streiyu flagship fortress arrive at its designated position and said softly to Sakuya beside him.
Sakuya merely smiled and said nothing.
"Let's wait a bit. The show is about to begin. It's not my time to make an entrance and show off... ahem... to make an entrance."
"By the way, Aura and the others should have arrived at Hakucho Castle by now, right?"
Zhong Chen suddenly remembered something and asked Sakuya.
"Miss Aura and the others were called over by me two hours ago under the pretext of instruction."
"That's good. Although they have magic now, with that little magic, at most they can cast a Great Fireball!"
"That thing can't burn people to death at all."
Zhong Chen used the issue of Aura and the others' magic to disparage a certain legendary eye technique, the unburnable signature ninjutsu.
"Master, look, seikishi is running over here."
Sakuya pointed at seikishi, who was being chased by seikishi piloted by Dagumaya and others, and said to Zhong Chen beside her.
"Oh my, the protagonist makes his entrance! A massacre is about to begin!"
Saying this, Zhong Chen took out the camera he always used and aimed it at seikishi, who was moving quickly below...
