In the maneuver field, the atmosphere was so tense that it could explode at any moment. Everyone around was also staring at this scene. The brown-haired man clenched his teeth with a solemn expression. Although he looked down on second-year students, Fangzheng was a first-year student, and he entered the school as the top student. Moreover, the opponent had provoked him so confidently, so he must be very strong.
Under such circumstances, the brown-haired man naturally would not make the mistake of underestimating his opponent. He quickly adjusted his mentality and planned to end the battle with his strongest attack.
"Then … .begin!!"
Following the order, the brown-haired man raised his right hand. As the bracelet glowed, the surrounding space began to distort, forming a huge impact force that rushed towards Fangzheng.
"So fast!"
"So powerful!!!"
All the students present were first-year students, so of course, they were proficient in magic. The brown-haired man's movements just now were very clean and direct. The magic activation speed was also very fast, and the wavelength adjustment was also quite good. It could be said that the brown-haired man was indeed worthy of being a first-year student in the top five of the first-year students. His strength was not to be underestimated.
However, in the face of the shockwave released by the brown-haired man, Fangzheng just stood there, motionless. He let the shockwave fly over and hit him — — then disappeared like a breeze.
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, everyone present widened their eyes in surprise. They could not believe what they saw. Only Sibo Shenxue frowned. This reminded her of the first time they met a few months ago. It was the same at that time. The crazy fire magician released his magic, but the man did not do anything, and the fire magician's magic completely disappeared.
No, strictly speaking, it was she who did not know what he had done. After all, the fire would not suddenly extinguish, and the magic released by Vice President Hattori would not disappear halfway. The only thing they could be sure of was that this man had used some method to nullify their magic.
Was that so?
The airflow dissipated. Fangzheng just stood there, not even the corner of his clothes moved. He then narrowed his eyes and looked at the brown-haired man with a smile.
"That's it? Is that all you've got? "
"Don't … don't look down on me!!!"
Hearing this, the brown-haired man could no longer hold it in. He roared and raised his hands. Soon, a powerful force condensed again and rushed toward Fangzheng!
"Not good!!"
Seeing this scene, Mayumi Shichikusa's expression changed drastically. This was no longer a simple mock duel, but a real battle! Unlike before, if this attack hit, it would be fatal!!
However, in the face of the brown-haired man's all-out attack, Fangzheng remained unmoved. He crossed his arms, stood there, looked at the man in front of him, and snorted coldly.
"Hmph!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a heavy hammer that smashed into the hearts of everyone present. At the same time, the raging wave of power that was rushing towards Fangzheng suddenly collapsed. Then, the brown-haired man's body trembled, as if he was hit by an oncoming truck. He screamed in pain as he flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
"What happened?"
"What the hell is going on?"
Seeing this scene in front of them, the onlookers looked at each other, completely unable to understand what was going on. Fangzheng strolled forward and walked up to the brown-haired man. The latter's face was pale. He sat up, trembling, and stared at Sheyan with wide eyes in horror.
"You, you …"
"What's wrong? Stand up. "
Fangzheng stretched out his hand and stared at the brown-haired man with narrowed eyes.
"Aren't you going to fight? Aren't you going to fight to protect your fragile and insignificant self-esteem? Then stand up and continue to fight? What's there to be afraid of? Isn't this the so-called battle? If your legs are broken, you still have your hands. If your hands are broken, you still have your teeth. Come on, stand up and continue to fight! Show me your courage as a first-year student!!! Fight, fight, until you die! Isn't this what you want to protect with your life? Then don't stop! "
"Eek —!!!"
Hearing this, the brown-haired man collapsed to the ground with a pale face. A puddle of stinky liquid suddenly flowed out from between his legs. Then, his eyes rolled back and he passed out.
"Tsk, what a piece of trash."
Fangzheng glanced contemptuously at the unconscious brown-haired man on the ground. He snorted coldly, then turned around and left. The others stared blankly at his back, completely speechless.
Just like that, the Start-of-Term Ceremony ended, but the aftermath did not disappear. But even so …
"Please consider joining the Student Council."
"… You're really persistent, President Shichinusa."
Looking at Mayumi Shichinusa, who appeared in front of him again and looked at him with a smile, Fangzheng sighed.
"I thought you would keep your distance from me after the previous incident."
"Vice President Hattori has dropped out of school, and the Student Council is now understaffed. As the person in charge, I hope you can take up this responsibility. Classmate Haruhiko? "
Mayumi Shichinusa's expression did not change in the slightest. She still looked at Fangzheng with a smile.
"You should be able to tell that I'm not the kind of person who can coordinate with others. Aren't you afraid that I'll make the Student Council fall apart and break it down?"
"Perhaps this kind of strength is what we need."
Mayumi Shichinusa folded her hands again and stared at Fangzheng. The reason why she came to invite Fangzheng to join again was not that simple. On one hand, Mayumi Shichinusa was indeed interested in Fangzheng's strength and character. On the other hand, it was also because of what happened to him before.
Vice President Hattori, who failed in front of everyone, suffered a lot after that. In the end, he could no longer bear the pain and applied to drop out of school.
Of course, it was not as simple as a student dropping out of school. It must be known that Hattori had a family behind him, and that family's status in Japan was not low. Of course, his family would not let the matter rest when their own child encountered such a thing. Mayumi Shichinusa also knew that Hattori had come to the school to protest, demanding that the culprit be expelled or punished. In short, he must be taught a lesson.
In the end, after the two sides talked for an entire afternoon in the principal's office, the Hattori family no longer had the same imposing manner as before. Instead, they obediently shut their mouths and acted as if nothing had happened. They quickly completed the transfer procedures for their child and left.
Although Mayumi Shichinusa did not know the inside story, she was sure that the man in front of her definitely did not have a simple background. Even if the school's higher-ups really valued his talent and strength and wanted to protect him, they would not let the Hattori family, who had suffered a loss, obediently shut their mouths. There was only one answer. The man in front of her had a background that the Hattori family could not resist. That was why they had no choice but to give up and run away obediently.
"I've always hoped to break the barrier between first and second year students, but as you said, for now, it's very difficult for us to do that. Perhaps we need someone like you, Haruhino, to break this barrier. So, I sincerely invite you to join the Student Council. "
"Oh … I don't mind, but what about the other members of the Student Council? After all, I'm the guy who beat up their Vice President. If someone comes looking for trouble with me, I won't refuse. "
"Don't worry about that."
Mayumi Shichinusa smiled faintly.
"That's the unanimous opinion of the Student Council."
"Oh …"
Hearing Mayumi Shichinusa's answer, Fangzheng's eyes flashed with a smug glint.
Very well, it seems that everything is going according to plan.
The reason why Fangzheng chose to make such a big deal out of this was not simply because of his personality. In fact, it was all part of Fangzheng's meticulous planning. And his actions were all because of the Goddess of Order's instructions.
According to the Goddess of Order, every world would have a protagonist, but the protagonist was not the only one. This was normal. People would live, grow old, get sick, and die. If the world was bound to the protagonist, wouldn't the day the protagonist died be the end of the world? Therefore, the so-called protagonist of a world only shouldered the mission of protecting or leading the world for a certain period of time.
Of course, not every protagonist was born knowing that they were destined to be a protagonist. Just like in many Japanese anime, many protagonists only wanted to live a normal life, but the world would certainly not allow it. You're supposed to save and protect me, but you spend all day slacking off? How could that be?
That was why there were so many "troublemakers".
Just like what Fangzheng had said before, one of the main characteristics of a protagonist was that they were "troublemakers". For example, girls would fall from the sky while they were walking, or girls would fall from their beds while they were sleeping at home, or girls would fall from a tree while they were lying outside at night. These were things that normal people would probably never encounter in their entire lives, but the protagonist could encounter them all. This was actually because the world's will was pushing the protagonist to use his hidden strength and aptitude to complete the mission.
As long as one finished reading the process, one would realize that the world itself was most concerned about the mission, not the protagonist. To put it bluntly, the protagonist was just a tool used by the world to complete the mission.
It was the same for this world. Currently, the main mission of this world required Si Boda to complete. Therefore, from the moment Si Boda was born until now, the world had been giving him trouble to accumulate enough experience to complete the "main mission". The "events" that Si Boda encountered were things that others could not encounter. In fact, Fangzheng could not encounter them either. After all, he was not the destined protagonist of this world.
But this did not stop Fangzheng from causing trouble.
As mentioned before, the ultimate goal of the world was to find someone to complete the mission. It was the same for the protagonist. You had to complete the mission to be useful to the world. But if you did not complete the mission, then the world would not be in a good mood towards the protagonist. As the saying goes, if you did not receive a gift from the heavens, you would have to bear the blame. Yang Weili was a good example. At that time, the world's will basically stuffed Reinhardt under Yang Weili's nose. As long as he fired, he could change history.
And the result? Yang Weili chose to be a coward. In the end, there was no hope for a good ending. He died in the hands of terrorists. When he died, there was not even a single person by his side. It was a miserable death.
This was the best example of "if you did not receive a gift from the heavens, you would have to bear the blame".
And now, that was what Fangzheng was planning. The world's will would not give him anything to do, but Fangzheng would take the initiative to cause trouble to attract the attention of the world's will. As long as the world's will believed that Fangzheng could replace Si Boda to complete the mission, then the world would give up on Si Boda. There was even a possibility that he might become a threat to Fangzheng and help Fangzheng instead. At that time, it would be Si Boda's time to die.
Therefore, Fangzheng was actually working on two fronts. On one hand, he was trying to weaken the support around Si Boda, and on the other hand, he was trying to attract the attention of the world's will and divert the protagonist's aura.
As for combat … there was no conflict between romance and combat. Didn't many romance games have a combat background? For example, Ghost King, Big Boss, Super Flash Ninja, God of War, Fantasy's General Ji, Final Fantasy's Tram …. Weren't they all the same?
As for the actions of the protagonists in those games — anyway, as long as the harem fell in love with the protagonist, it was a romance game. As for how they fell in love, who cared?! Fangzheng was not the God of Love, so why should he care about this?
Now, it seemed that the first step of his plan had succeeded. Mayumi Shichinosa had taken the initiative to look for him because of the trouble he had caused.
"Then I have no more questions."
Fangzheng stretched out his hand and looked at Mayumi Shichinosa in front of him.
"Please take care of me, President Shichinosa."
"Same to you, classmate Haruhiko."
