Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 473 Please, host, do not fight with the contestants.
After a night of mental recovery, the two team captains and their respective teammates, who appeared to have returned to normal at least on the surface, took to the stage one after another and confronted each other.

"I suspect that some viewers may not be aware of the specifics, so I, Orange, will provide some further explanation here."

The moment they heard that smug voice announcing it, Terry and Geese sensed something was wrong and almost simultaneously looked in Cheng's direction.

"Terry, the captain of the Fatal Fury team, and Geese, the captain of Howard's Special Forces, are sworn enemies. At the same time, they were both attacked by the Midnight Blessing and transformed from men into women."

Even more disheartening is that Demeter, the sorcerer who gave them hope of regaining their original forms, has already been reduced to dust by their combined attack. Having personally destroyed their chances of recovery, can they still muster the strength to fight this match? We'll have to wait and see.

Under the director's precise capture, Terry and Geese's skin turned visibly red.

"Hey! You bastard, shut up! If you can't speak like a human being, get out of here!"

Terry raised his hand and pointed angrily at Cheng, immediately launching into a tirade.

Giss went even further, unleashing a double gust of wind punches in the direction of Cheng Tian with a series of swings of his hands.

Amid the gasps of the audience, a surge of battle aura carrying a fierce wind swept past, but the orange-gold figure arrived as expected, and a wooden fist imbued with spiritual power directly struck the surge of battle aura.

Having completed the fluctuation cancellation, Cheng Tian slammed his foot on the table, and the shape of the demonic spear Thor was faintly forming on his raised right hand—

Then the man with sunglasses and a mustache next to me grabbed one of my legs!
"Please, our host, do not get on stage and fight with the contestants!"

The man in sunglasses and a mustache shouted loudly.

After a minor disturbance, Cheng Tian was ultimately prevented from interfering in the battle, and it remained a fight between the Hungry Wolves and the Howard team.

However, due to the intense rivalry between these two teams, or rather between Geese and Terry and Andy, and also because of the special battle that took place yesterday between the Neon Team and Hell Band, the competition mode has been changed from the original 1V1 round-robin elimination system to a best-of-three system consisting of a vanguard battle, a midfield battle, and a general battle.

Both teams directly selected their respective opponents.

Terry was undoubtedly going to have a showdown with Geese... no, both of them were already female, so it was more like a battle of wits.

Although Andy also had a deep-seated grudge against Geese, it had been largely neutralized during his training with the Shiranui school of martial arts, and was far less intense than Terry's own. Moreover, even if he didn't admit it, he had clearly begun to show a tendency to defer to the female version of Terry in his actions.

It can only be said that Mai Shiranui's concerns are indeed reasonable. Even knowing Terry's original male identity does not prevent the fact that Terry is indeed a very charming woman now.

Andy has reached the pinnacle of indecisiveness. From the later game easter eggs, it can even be inferred that he and Mai Shiranui have already had a relationship, but he still hasn't accepted her "marriage pressure".

The evidence is in the opening post-credits scene of the battle between the two sides in "The King of Fighters '99", when Andy sees the fake child that Mai Shiranui transformed into calling him "Dad", he completely transforms into the appearance of "The Scream".

At this critical juncture, calling Andy an irresponsible scumbag is not an exaggeration at all.

Andy, who had compromised and yielded to Terry, chose to stand up to Billy as the mainstay.

As for the vanguard positions, the two teams reserved them for Joe Higashi and Ryuji Yamazaki, respectively.

This battle can be said to be the most original King of Fighters battle so far. There is no rushed response like the Neon Team and Hell Band. It is just pure King of Fighters flavor.

The battle rounds were assigned, and both the mid-level and general teams stepped down, leaving the newly rebuilt arena to the two vanguards. "Ora Ora!!!"

Wearing only oversized boxing shorts and with bandages wrapped around his hands and feet, Joe Higashi began punching and kicking at the air.

On the other hand, Yamazaki Ryuji arrogantly put one hand in his pocket, his face showing obvious impatience.

As one of the Eight Orochi Generals, he was the most rebellious of them all.

Following his bloodline instincts, he came to Tokyo and accepted Geese Howard's job. He already vaguely knew his mission, but he had no intention of contributing to the resurrection of Orochi.

He is forever loyal only to his own desires, and he will try every means to overcome even the instincts that come from his blood!

Moreover, Yamazaki Ryuji was well aware that there were three big-nosed people watching him intently from below the stage, and the more anxious and agitated they were, the happier Yamazaki Ryuji felt.

Recalling the three big-nosed men who had been trying to cause him trouble ever since the main tournament team was announced, but were unable to attack him freely due to the protection of South Town Lord Geese Howard and the cover of his status as a main tournament player, Yamazaki Ryuji couldn't help but laugh, and this feeling was successfully projected onto his face.

"Does fighting me make you this happy?"

As Joe Higashi, who was continuously unleashing powerful punches, looked at Ryuji Yamazaki's twisted smile, his own confidence as the number one fighter in the King of Fighters instantly surged up.

Ryuji Yamazaki's upturned lips instantly collapsed.

"Smash it~~ If you don't want to die, just kneel down and kowtow three times, and I might consider leaving you a whole corpse."

With his expression returning to disdain, Yamazaki Ryuji leaned slightly forward, his right hand waving in front of him like a whip suspended in mid-air, soft and boneless.

"...I hope your ability is half as good as your stinking mouth."

Despite his extensive experience in major competitions, Higashi Joe was not annoyed at all by the other party's foul language.

"Joe Higashi! A duel! Ryuji Yamazaki!"

"Ready~~GO!!!"

scare!!!!!
The moment the mustachioed man announced the start of the match, Yamazaki Ryuji's arm lashed out like a giant python, striking directly at Joe Higashi, who was standing very close to him.

"Whoa! Yamazaki Ryuji has unleashed the Snake Technique Mid-Strike! This is a strike that only someone with a height of 192cm and an extraordinary reach can deliver! Because of his unusual reach, he can almost reach the normal mid-strike distance, giving him a huge advantage!"

"On the other hand, look at Joe Higashi! He's in a typical Muay Thai defensive stance with his hands covering his face and one knee raised! But as a Muay Thai champion, Joe Higashi's elbows and knees have been trained to the point where they can easily shatter rocks and split the ground even without the protection of fighting spirit. Only they themselves know who will feel more pain in the exchange of blows!"

Cheng Tian passionately launched into his speech, spitting everywhere.

At the same time, the members of the Olili team all looked at Cheng Tian with strange eyes.

You must have some side hustle!
