章節 830: Chapter 830 ‘Lucky’

On the fifth day, Kisuke finally couldn't afford to not show himself since he needed to appear as a King in the tournament. For his plans, it became very important for him to win the whole thing.

"You're finally here." Athena sighed when she saw him.

"I apologize. Something came up. Who's our opponent for today?"

"A team of normal magicians. Since our points aren't very high, expect our opponents to be like this for a while.", answered Tiamat.

Kisuke thought about it for a bit and reached a decision before asking everyone, "Is it alright for everyone if our team gathers some notoriety? I promise we'll get the lost reputation back on the main stage."

All of them looked at each other and Seekvaira answered, "We don't really mind since you promised, but what for?"

"Ah... You see, I gave my money to someone and now I'm essentially broke again, so I'd like to earn a little bit by laying a bet. But thanks to our performance in our first match, I doubt the stipends would be anything worthwhile."

Seekvaira had many questions, but the biggest of them is, 'Why not just borrow from the house if you need something?' She couldn't understand the actions he wanted to take.

As the person who had been trying to make sense of Kisuke's thought processes the longest, Athena guessed, "You want the people to hate our team so they wouldn't bet on us?"

"That's exactly the plan~!"

"Easy for you to say, but how?"

"What do you think of a team where the King doesn't do anything, leaving everything to his teammates while also provoking the audience? On top of that, once we're matched against a strong contender, that team instantly surrenders?"

"And we do that over and over again?"

Kisuke shrugged his shoulders, "Well, yeah. Until I can achieve the intended effect."

Nyx with a scrunched-up face behind her mask answered, "Disgusting."

Out of everyone's expectations, however, Tiamat positively interjected, "It'll be better if we can give the opponent the false hope of winning. And since we can't enter the main stage without winning against at least one of the strong contenders, you should look for a way to win with an underhanded method. I think that'll be very effective."

Kisuke grinned at her and guessed her intentions, "You want to bet too, huh?"

"Kukuku. Of course. I won't turn my back to easy money. It'll be a fine addition to my treasures."

'Vritra, I've never seen any Dragon as Dragon-like as her.' Genshirou thought to himself, 'If you're talking about the records and descriptions from the Human World, then yes.' Vritra replied.

"Wonderful~! Here's the plan."

The match had ended, but the audience didn't know what to think of what they'd just watched.

The rules of the game were one again the normal ones, in a normal cityscape full of skyscrapers, and it even started normally. But the moment Urahara Shouten started moving, nobody expected them to suddenly break up.

Tiamat unfurled her wings and flew towards the tallest building. From then on, she didn't move a single bit as if she's basking her scales in the artificial lighting.

The two Goddesses, on the other hand, went towards a fancy cafe and took out portable consoles to play some games while also taking out some drinks and snacks from their inventory. A few moments later, Seekvaira joined them too but instead of playing some games, she took out a mech plastic model and started assembling it while also recording her progress to post it later on her channel on Deviltube.

Finally Genshirou, apparently not knowing what to do, started running in a random direction while saying he'll get the enemy King, leaving their King alone.

Someone very adept in scouting from the other team saw their movements and started planning out their own. They thought that they were underestimating them and were determined to make them pay for their attitudes towards the game where everyone had a chance of winning.

Avoiding Genshirou, the team of magicians move around to corner Kisuke, who was aimlessly walking around away from everyone else.

Once they saw that he was sufficiently far away from his teammates, the magicians deployed a large-scale Magic Circle with Kisuke in the middle.

As if only noticing it now, Kisuke visibly panicked, but he was able to get away using his Flash Step. Everyone who first saw this was in awe at his speed that was only below the legendary instant teleportation. But as the magicians pursued Kisuke, they too were able to witness its 'weakness' of predictability and not being able to spam it.

At that point, the magicians were able to understand why Kisuke needed his stealth when using it as it's the only most effective way to use it.

The magicians, while leading him further away from his teammates, started bombarding him with large-scale magic that destroyed the buildings whenever they hit.

They also noticed that Kisuke was calling for his teammates so some of the magicians stopped their chase to intercept whoever was coming.

Of course, Kisuke tried retaliating by rushing towards one of the magicians who are casting but his attacks were stopped by multiple barriers that were deployed to protect their teammate where the most he could do is put a few cracks on the shield.

It seems that the magicians could actually win this match due to Kisuke's team's arrogance when Kisuke entered a large building. Without thinking about it, the magicians gleefully followed him inside and were able to trap him when one of the Ice Magic was able to trap him in place.

Seeing the goal to victory, most of them began casting small but focused destructive magic, of course, while minding the building's structural integrity.

But for some unknown reason, one of these magics swerved and hit the others at an angle that completely missed the intended target and created a domino effect towards the others until each and every single one of them hit the most vulnerable parts of the 47-floor tall building.

In a panic, all the magicians tried to scramble away, but it was already too late as the whole structure fell down and crashed on top of them. For a whole minute, everyone watching could only see debris and dust that was blasted everywhere while the names of the magicians were being crossed out from the board one by one, including their King.

A few minutes later, some visibility returned and one of the floating eyes acting as a camera weaved through the debris because there was still one person within that destruction that wasn't crossed out.

To everyone's shock, they saw Kisuke, with half of his body still trapped within ice but the reinforced concrete fell on top of him in a way that it formed a pyramid that blocked the other debris, safeguarding him from all the destruction.

"Oh hey there~" Kisuke casually said to the camera, "I heard the retiring system activating. How many are still left?"

章節 831: Chapter 831 Behind His Amazing ‘Luck’

Within the main house of Belial, everyone from Kisuke's team, Cleria, and Sakura are having a rest within the living room. But in addition to them, Ophis' other half, Lilith was also present, silently munching on snacks while sitting on Kisuke's lap.

"No one's gonna help you when Ophis and Lilith start fighting for that spot.", reminded Sakura.

"...I'll do something about that when the time comes."

Not being able to contain her curiosity anymore, Seekvaira asked Kisuke about the earlier match, "Uhmm, Kisuke-san... Was it all just a lucky coincidence?"

With a smug look, Kisuke replied while feeding the humanoid Dragon, "What do you think~?"

She wanted to believe that no one was capable of drafting such a chaotic event but there were so many strange points beyond him being safe from all the falling debris. The magicians being unable to cast Magic properly, their strange movements during their escape, and the fact that it shouldn't be enough to retire them by just simply throwing rocks at them.

Genshirou and Nyx also had the same questions and were waiting to see how this would unfold.

For the remaining two, they had an idea since they were watching his actions closely.

"It wasn't a coincidence.", voiced Tiamat.

"Nor was it remotely lucky. Everything that went down was his clever manipulation from the few seconds he was trapped in that ice.", added Athena, "It was obvious that he intended for that to happen, but as for how... I doubt you could see it from the replay, but he had been picking up pebbles from the road before they even arrived at the building.

"Before they could even bombard him with spells, Kisuke distracted one of them by flicking two pebbles at one of them, one slicing the left cheek and one hit the shin. This resulted in that rogue spell that hit the other spells and caused chaos. After that, Kisuke strategically hit the pillars and ceiling with pebbles, cracking them before they even went down."

"Aside from creating a safe spot for him, the debris was arranged to fall in a way that would block the magicians' movement and get hit badly on their heads so that it was enough for them to get retired."

Tiamat saw Seekvaira and Genshirou browsing through the video file of the match but they couldn't find anything that Athena just said, "Give it up. The moment he entered that building, he never used an ounce of Magic Power nor Ki so it wouldn't be visible no matter how you look through those lenses. And since it's just the preliminary rounds, you won't find any higher-frame rate recording device being used."

In other words, this can only be seen by those who can directly observe the situation and one has to have very keen senses to even attempt to guess what happened.

"I understand it now..." Genshirou muttered under his breath, "No wonder Sona-kaichou wanted to defeat you to the point of obsession last time. She must have always lost miserably against you and she just couldn't accept that with her pride."

"...S-seriously?" Seekvaira looked towards Kisuke but the latter was busy feeding the Dragon so she turned her head towards Sakura.

Sakura met her gaze and stopped eating and said, "This is coming directly from me, but he's really weird." She knew that he was hiding many things from her but she was already at the point where she stopped questioning it and just trusted him while waiting for him to confide in her.

Seekvaira looked at Kisuke once again, but this time, in an entirely different light.

Because of her own shortcomings, she decided to join Kisuke's team and ask him for his guidance because she came to know that he's the main reason why Sona's former peerage members could stand where they are now. Not to mention Genshirou Saji, who can match the Red Dragon Emperor in a fight, everyone else also made a name for themselves and are currently the Underworld's rising stars, just below the prominent names.

In addition to the sleep disease's cure that had plagued the Devils since its inception, they are also the reason why the Sitri House was able to gather so much authority.

However, more than strength, Seekvaira favored 'technique' and 'intellect' a lot more. Out of the four Devil Kings, she admired Ajuka Beelzebub the most because of this, and among the four Rookies, she looked up to Sona the most for the same reason.

Seekvaira opened her mouth but Tiamat beat her to it, "Save it. Something like that can't be taught if that's what you're about to ask him. And even if that was possible, you'd have to have a similar mindset to him, which is already out of question. He suffers from the same problem as most geniuses and that is that there is no way to make sense of what they are trying to do."

"That's right." Kisuke interjected, "I can share my way of thinking, but I have no way of teaching it to others."

Seekvaira looked down and clenched her fist before looking up to him once again and said, "Then please allow me to watch you closely."

"Hmmm... I guess that's fine. But only after your training with Nyx. As thanks for filling up a slot, I'll make it worthwhile for you."

The next day, Urahara Shouten participated in another match because Kisuke asked Tiamat to get them as many as possible.

Many were puzzled by yesterday's match and wanted to watch their team perform once again. Nevertheless, none of them were a fan of their team looking down on the other by obviously not participating properly.

However, some of the audience were ticked off when Urahara Shouten didn't appear complete as Seekvaira and 'Goddess Bishop' are both absent from their lineup. And the same as yesterday, Tiamat flew towards the highest place and closed her eyes while 'Goddess Knight' began to roam around as if she was a tourist. Genshirou also gave with a big sigh and decided to be 'Goddess Knight's' guide since he knew the Underworld quite well, leaving their 'King' alone once again.

This time, their opponent was a lot stronger than yesterday's in terms of firepower and the map was an open field, so most of the audience thought that there was no way for Kisuke to 'luckily' win anymore and placed their bets on the opposing team.

But after running around for more than an hour, narrowly dodging fatal attacks multiple times, Team Urahara Shouten won when one of the opposing team's members made a mistake and 'accidentally' took out their King, ending the game.

Naturally, almost everyone was aggrieved by the result, and those who bet money cursed at the hateful 'King' for winning through luck once again, gaining a lot of heat and hate, just as Kisuke intended while watching his bank account rapidly grow in size.

For the next few days, the number of viewers in Kisuke's matches increased exponentially which made his wealth also explode by winning with 'luck'. Of course, all of these increases were proportional to the hate he's receiving since he's also receiving a lot of 'fan letters' that couldn't be shown to children.

Finally, that hate hit the peak when it was announced that Team Urahara Shouten's next opponent is the Team Trump Card of Heaven led by Dulio Gesualdo. Many celebrated since they could finally see Kisuke beaten up and also gain their money back, only for a moment, however.

Team Trump Card of Heaven won, but it's because Kisuke instantly announced their surrender the moment the matching came up.

28th00: Lilith is still Ophis, so that lap is Hers. Genius’ can make leaps of logic and/or skill that beggar belief, you can’t really train or teach that, usually. I bet Kisuke could teach you to be a combat genius through the extreme torture he calls training, but that’s more like a skill so high it seems to be natural genius.

Kisuke is doing another betting scam just like the War Game, but this time, somehow even worse because it’s exponential! It’s a whole damn tournament arc of damn near scammed matches!

Goyya: Nothing can be done. His growing family also needs growing funds. A great hustle like this doesn’t come twice.
