Chapter 84 The First Pyrrhic Victory

Wu Tiao Wu followed behind Mo Fan, who was whispering with Zhao Manyan, carrying several desserts. He watched the two of them discuss which girl was prettier.

Just as I was engrossed in listening, a sudden chill swept through the surroundings.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan immediately felt a strong chill. When they looked up, they saw that Mochizuki Chizuru had been standing there for some time.

While eating, Gojo Satoru bumped into Mo Fan, and when he looked up, he saw Mochizuki Chika's cold gaze.

That was an expression that looked like he wanted to kill him; he made no attempt to hide it at all!

However, the other party hasn't made a move yet, which means they're somewhat wary. Gojo Satoru glanced at them and asked:

"Why are you blocking the road? Don't you have any manners?"

He was baffled as to what this woman was up to now. Was the lesson she had learned before still relevant?

"Fight me again!" Mochizuki Chika made no attempt to hide her feelings.

"Why should I?" Gojo Satoru asked without looking up, continuing to eat his sweets.

"I lost. You can ask for anything I can do! How about it?" Mochizuki Chika said seriously.

She was truly unconvinced. She believed that Gojo Satoru's ability to subdue her instantly at Mount Huwang was due to his preemptive action.

"Okay." Gojo Satoru thought for a moment and it seemed that it wouldn't be detrimental to him, so he nodded in agreement.

……

The Nishi-no-Kami-kaku arena is located on the south side facing the ocean. It appears to be a huge, man-made platform extending into the air above the mountains.

When there are no competitions, this place also seems to be able to serve as a helicopter landing pad.

As soon as everyone entered the arena, they saw a black helicopter fly away from the area, heading towards the naval battle city.

The platform is larger than I imagined; it could probably serve as an acceleration runway for some passenger planes without any problem.

The arena is diamond-shaped, with three corners exposed at a height of seven or eight hundred meters. Apart from the invisible barrier, there is not a single railing. The diamond-shaped arena is not thick and looks more like a flat sheet. It is supported by a stone body extending from the mountain below.

Such a thin and spacious battle arena could be easily destroyed by magical power if the surface material is not hard enough.

"This diamond platform is made of gray crystal. Don't worry that it can't withstand your magical attacks. You are far from being able to unleash the power that could completely shatter it."

The Japanese student who had previously used a nasal tone with Jiang Shaoxu seemed to have noticed everyone's concerns and offered an explanation.

The woman speaking in front of me is named Koike Shoko.

"We don't hit stones, we only hit people's faces." Jiang Shaoxu knew that Xiaochi Xiangzi was being sarcastic, so he casually replied.

That one sentence silenced the woman, who remained expressionless.

"You guys discuss who should perform," asked Ms. Nobuko from the National Museum.

Ai Jiangtu glanced at Gojo Satoru and the other two, then said, "There's no need to choose anymore."

Guan Yu, Wu Tiao Wu, and Jiang Shaoxu have clearly all identified their own targets for battle.

In fact, Mo Fan also wanted to have a fight, but unfortunately he simply didn't have the chance!

"Didn't we say back in the banquet hall that you would choose five people, and then each of you would randomly select five of us here for five one-on-one duels? Can't you count?" Okamoto Takashi mocked when he saw that Ai Jiangtu had only indicated three people.

"If we win three out of five matches, doesn't that mean we've won?" Ai Jiangtu replied calmly.

"So you're choosing three people?" A Japanese military officer in uniform was already somewhat annoyed.

I've never seen such an arrogant person before!

Even if you are guests from a great nation, you should still know what it means to be a guest, right?

Under normal circumstances, Ai Jiangtu wouldn't act like this, but the other party's attitude when they came in was really unpleasant.

So he was essentially giving them a taste of their own medicine!

If others don't know what politeness is, then they certainly don't need to be polite.

As soon as Ai Jiangtu said this, the team members gave him a thumbs up.

"The captain is so awesome!" Jiang Yu secretly gave Ai Jiangtu a thumbs up.

"Yeah, that was awesome!" Li Kaifeng said.

While the boys were getting excited, Nan Jue hesitated, saying, "If that's the case, none of the three of them can afford to lose."

She arrived in the evening, so she didn't know the specifics of what happened that afternoon.

Moreover, in Nan Jue's opinion, these words were somewhat excessive, weren't they?

Is it really a bad idea to treat the first National Pavilion Challenge so casually?

"Don't worry, it's a 3-win streak. Whoever loses can get lost!" Gojo Satoru said lazily.

These words effectively blocked any way out.

"That's right. If you're not confident of winning against the opponent you chose, then I don't think you need to continue your journey." Ai Jiangtu agreed with Gojo Satoru's words, his expression very serious.

Gojo Satoru was one thing, but the other guys also dared to provoke their opponents without his permission.

So these pressures should naturally be applied!

Otherwise, where would the captain's authority be?

Guan Yu and Jiang Shaoxu understood, and also realized that they had gotten a little carried away without the captain's permission.

However, they still had the confidence to defeat their opponent.

If you don't even have this much self-confidence, what's there to be proud of?

Ai Jiangtu didn't even need to expel them; they could leave the group on their own.

As for those who didn't participate in the competition, they also learned a lesson: their team was also a legitimate team!

Guan Yu found the location of Okamoto Takashi, which was a group of people dressed in similar uniforms. They included students, scholars, soldiers, officers, guards, and guest advisors from the West Guard Pavilion. There were not many people, about thirty or so.

He performed a few polite gestures, then said, "Come out and take your beating."

The national pavilion's competition is not open to the public, so selecting a few witnesses will suffice.

These witnesses were Mochizuki Chika, Mochizuki Meiken, Japanese Gunji, Fujikata Nobuko, and others.

These people are all mentors or leaders of the West Guardian Pavilion.

"Don't be so arrogant." Okamoto Takashi sneered and stood up as well.

He then bowed to the leaders, teachers, classmates, and witnesses behind him before walking onto the competition field.

As soon as the two entered the arena, and with Fujikata Nobuko announcing the start, the battle of speed began.

A moment later, a figure was thrown off the competition platform and landed right at Gojo Satoru's feet.

"Damn it, I was careless!" Guan Yu clutched his chest, not expecting his opponent to have set a trap. Fortunately, his opponent was more seriously injured than him, so he should be able to win this match.

"That's enough, Guan Yusheng, representative of the Huaxia National Team," Fujimori Nobuko immediately said.

It's one thing for Fujikata Nobuko to dislike this group of Chinese people, but the competition must be fair and just.

Okamoto Takashi did indeed lose this match, because he underestimated the astonishing speed of the official fish's burst and overlooked the slight delay of the wind trap.

Soon, someone from the Japanese team stepped forward to treat the injured Okamoto Takashi.

Meanwhile, Wu Tiao Wu from the Huaxia team casually tossed out a high-level healing Aquarius Constellation.
