章 4: 4
Chapter 4: Underground Fighting Arena
Lin Yi frowned slightly, looking at Miyamoto Rei's mysterious look, and couldn't help feeling a little curious.
He followed Miyamoto Rei's footsteps, crossed the campus path, and came to a remote corner.
What appears before my eyes is an old building, with traces of time mottled on the walls, as if telling countless stories.
As soon as he stepped into the door of the small building, a burst of noise filled Lin Yi's ears.
The sounds of fierce competition, cheers from the audience, and applause and cheers from time to time.
Lin Yi turned to look at Miyamoto Rei, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity: "What is this place?"
Miyamoto Rei looked at Lin Yi's reaction and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
With excitement flashing in her eyes, she explained in a low voice: "This is our school's underground fighting arena. Usually, some students will compete here."
As Miyamoto Rei finished speaking, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.
He didn't expect that in this seemingly peaceful campus, there was such a violent underground fighting arena hidden.
He looked around curiously and saw that in the center of the venue was an enclosed fighting area, surrounded by rows of seats filled with enthusiastic spectators.
Before Lin Yi could speak, Miyamoto Rei took his hand and walked quickly towards the source of the shouting.
A few minutes later, they arrived at an iron gate.
As soon as Miyamoto Rei pushed the door, the noisy sound inside the venue instantly surged out, making Lin Yi's ears buzz and causing him to rub his ears involuntarily.
The attention of several students near the door was drawn over, and when they saw Miyamoto Rei appear, there was a hint of curiosity and surprise in their eyes.
Several girls immediately gathered around and started chatting enthusiastically with Miyamoto Rei.
"Li, why did you suddenly show up? Didn't you say before that you wouldn't participate?" a girl asked with a hint of joking and reproach in her tone.
"That's right, Li, when you were away, our club was badly suppressed by the Kendo Club and the Karate Club. The president was very worried about this." Another girl added, with a worried look on her face.
Amid the noise of this group of girls, Miyamoto Rei's originally cold expression began to look a little uncomfortable.
Miyamoto Rei secretly cast a look for help towards Lin Yi who was standing beside her, hoping that he could come forward to rescue her and help her get out of this embarrassing situation.
Lin Yi understood and coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, "Ahem, can anyone explain to me what's going on here?"
The girls immediately turned their eyes to him curiously and began to look him up and down.
"Li, who is this?" One of the girls blinked mischievously and guessed, "Could it be your new boyfriend?"
Miyamoto Rei's face flushed slightly, and she waved her hand to clarify: "Don't talk nonsense, he is just a new student. I brought him to school to familiarize himself with the environment."
Seeing her friend speak so recklessly, Miyamoto Rei felt annoyed and really wanted to sew her mouth shut with needle and thread.
After all, they all knew that her real boyfriend was Jing Haoyong.
If this kind of joke gets to his ears and causes misunderstanding, it will be troublesome.
After listening to Miyamoto Rei's explanation, the teasing expressions on the faces of several girls became even more intense. They looked at Lin Yi frequently, as if evaluating his physical charm.
"Li, stop hiding it. If you don't chase after such a handsome boy, I will make a move." A girl teased, causing a burst of laughter.
Lin Yi tilted his head slightly, his ears seeming to catch the sounds around him.
He looked at the whispering girls somewhat helplessly, and was inwardly surprised at their gossiping abilities.
Miyamoto Rei noticed Lin Yi's expression and her heart tightened.
She realized that Lin Yi might have heard the girls' jokes, so she quickly stepped forward and dismissed the group of girls.
After this little episode, Miyamoto Rei turned to Lin Yi with an apologetic smile on her face.
She gently tugged at his sleeve, motioning for him to follow her to the front of the crowd.
Coming to the front of the crowd, Lin Yi's attention was attracted by the two fighters in the field.
The girl on the left has striking purple hair, is wearing the school uniform of Fujimi Academy, and is holding a wooden sword, standing in an attacking posture.
Lin Yi recognized her immediately. This was one of the heroines in this story - Busujima Saeko.
Her fighting ability is unmatched among the entire protagonist group, and her sword skills make her invincible.
Opposite her was a boy fully equipped with protective gear. He was holding a spear. Although he had a certain advantage in weapons, he showed obvious timidity when facing Busujima Saeko and could only take a defensive stance.
At the referee's command, Busujima Saeko launched the attack first. Seeing this, the boy quickly lowered the tip of the gun and tried to stab Busujima Saeko in the chest with lightning speed.
But Busujima Saeko seemed to have seen through his intentions long ago, and she dodged lightly and easily avoided the fatal blow.
The boy's attack missed, and Busujima Saeko took advantage of the opportunity to swung the wooden sword in her hand upwards, accurately hitting the boy's shoulder.
The powerful impact caused the boy to be knocked back more than three meters. If he had not been protected by protective gear, this blow would probably have seriously injured his shoulder blade.
The whole battle was short and intense, and the surrounding students once again burst into thunderous applause and cheers.
Lin Yi looked at Busujima Saeko's calm and confident figure, and was deeply impressed by her strength.
Lin Yi looked around and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The atmosphere here is quite similar to that of the Roman Colosseum. Students watching the fighting competitions feel like they are watching a thrilling life-and-death duel.
There were even a few students among the audience who were selling snacks among the crowd, adding a bit of lively atmosphere to the game.
Suddenly, Busujima Saeko's gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Miyamoto Rei in the audience.
With a smile, she invited Miyamoto Rei to a duel: "Miyamoto-san, would you like to come up and spar with me?"
This invitation immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding students.
"It seems that Miyamoto-san has a very high reputation among students." Lin Yi observed the expressions of the people around him and felt a little surprised.
In the original animation plot, he did not realize that Miyamoto Rei had such a high deterrent power, which made him curious whether some changes had taken place in the world that he was not aware of.
The girl next to him seemed to notice Lin Yi's confusion and took the initiative to explain it to him: "Of course, Li is the top player in our club. If it weren't for Komuro Takashi's incident, Li would have participated in the national competition a long time ago."
Through the girl's narration, Lin Yi gradually understood Miyamoto Rei's past.
Since entering this high school, Miyamoto Rei has quickly become the club's star player with her outstanding talent in shooting.
In this arena, she fully demonstrated her strength in just three months.
Except for the extraordinary fighting force Busujima Saeko, the main players of other clubs seemed powerless in front of Miyamoto Rei.
However, about a year ago, a conflict arose between Miyamoto Rei and Komuro Takashi, which led to her gradual withdrawal from the arena.
This made many people feel sorry because everyone was looking forward to seeing Miyamoto Rei's outstanding performance in the fighting arena again.
Miyamoto Rei interrupted the girl's narration. Although she said it didn't matter, Lin Yi still noticed something from her subtle changes in expression.
Obviously, there is a complex connection between Miyamoto Rei's retirement and Komuro Takashi.
When I explained to Busujima Saeko that I only brought Lin Yi here to familiarize him with the school environment, a look of obvious disappointment appeared on Busujima Saeko's face.
