My second life is a bit strange?

Wow, so fast! But...

Chapter Forty-Four: Blinding with Blood

"I'm still very confident in speed!" Feng lashed out with a whip kick, and the opponent seemed to defy gravity, lightly tiptoeing and jumping up onto Feng's leg.

Let's see how you dodge it from mid-air.

Feng quickly retracted her leg and threw a straight punch. Just as the punch was about to hit, she immediately lowered her center of gravity, letting herself fall to the ground, while grabbing Feng's clothes and climbing up with her legs.

[This is a ground grappling technique, oh no!]

The two men were not much different in weight. Feng was thrown to the ground, and Garuda flipped over, straddling Feng's waist, and gripping his neck tightly.

"You're not strong enough."

Feng's face flushed red. He suddenly straightened his back, using the strength of his waist to lift Garuda up, catching his opponent off guard.

She sprang to her feet with a somersault, and when she looked up, she saw Garuda hanging on the wall like a spider, her fingers embedded in the wall.

With his pupils trembling and veins bulging on his skin, Garuda, trapped in this strange state, experienced a qualitative leap in both speed and strength.

Such a significant improvement in such a short time; I knew I hadn't misjudged him.

[Raising him seems like a good idea; let's train him to be the best in the world.]

Garuda's undisguised gaze made Feng feel as if he were standing naked in front of her.

Feng was about to give up. When he was thrown to the ground, his palms were cut by sharp stones, and bright red blood kept flowing out from between his fists.

Garuda's fist came flying, and Feng reached out to grab her arm, but the blood on his hand was too slippery to hold on. In a moment of inspiration, Feng slapped her face.

A few drops of blood splattered out and blinded her. Taking advantage of her obstructed vision, a straight punch landed on her shoulder.

Garuda followed this force, leaning back to create distance, and rotated in the air to dissipate the excess force.

"It's an extremely high level of energy dissipation!"

"Hey, be my man."

"..." Feng, who had just assumed a defensive stance, froze on the spot upon hearing the other party's words: "Huh???"

Are you trying to distract me?

[That despicable, vile woman.]

Feng gritted his teeth, his face turning bright red, but the next moment, Garuda vanished and reappeared in front of him, coiling around him like a python.

"Hey, be my husband. My grandfather told me that the clan leader's responsibility is to leave behind a strong lineage." Garuda said, his body shifting restlessly as he moved his face closer and closer.

"You just said I was weak!" Feng was genuinely frightened. He didn't know where the strength came from, but he broke free from the other person, grabbed their clothes, and threw them away.

"oops!"

There was a hole in the wall of the alley, and Garuda was stuck in the hole, unable to break free no matter how hard he struggled.

"Hey! Help me out, I'm stuck in the wall."

Feng looked at the swaying legs, the pants outlining the perfect curves of the buttocks: "Don't just stand there, help me out, or Grandpa will scold us if we don't go back soon."

"I can help you, but don't bother me again." Feng grabbed the other person's waist and pulled back, but he was really tight. He couldn't pull him off the first time, so he had to move him forward a little and then backward, like pulling a radish.

The posture was a bit strange. It took a lot of effort to finally pull the other person out of the wall. Due to inertia, the two of them fell to the ground, with Garuda sitting upside down on Feng's stomach.

She rubbed her aching back, where there were clear finger marks: "Let's have a baby!"

"Do you know how to give birth?" Feng Qi asked helplessly.

"Guess~" Garuda reached out to unbutton her clothes, but Feng quickly sat up and grabbed her clothes: "Don't take off your clothes like that!"

"I will definitely have children with you!" Garuda completely ignored what he said, looking very confident. Feng covered his forehead in frustration. How could he have encountered such a person?

"Let me bandage your wound."

Garuda grabbed his hand, licked the wound with his tongue, disinfected it briefly, and then removed some bandages from his leg and wrapped them around his hand.

"I've said my goodbyes for today, so I should go now. See you next time, my husband." The Garuda lamp flickered, and Garuda's figure disappeared from the spot.

"Who's your husband?" Feng's complaints were weak and listless. He stretched his body, feeling like he was about to fall apart, and picked up the ingredients that had been thrown on the roadside.

"My eggs!!!" Feng gritted his teeth in anger. He had been beaten up for no reason, and several of the discounted eggs he bought were broken.

"I am back."

When Feng returned home, Shirogane Miyuki's laughter came from the living room: "You've had a hard time." He came out to greet him and saw Feng's disheveled appearance.

"Wow, you went shopping and ended up like this."

"I fell and hit my hand on a rock."

"That's really exaggerated. Go wash and disinfect them." Shirogane Miyuki took the bag that Kaede bought, took out the unbroken eggs, and put them in the refrigerator.

I rinsed the remaining vegetables again to wash away the egg liquid.

Feng took a quick shower, disinfected his palms, and then found a clean bandage to wrap them.

"By the way, guess who our school is playing against tomorrow?"

"Who?" Feng looked at Yu Xing.

The opponent mimed shooting with his bare hands: "Shuchiin, your school is the home court."

"I'll cheer you on when I get back."

"Haha, aren't you afraid of getting beaten up by people from your own school?"

"That's true, then you might as well lose."

Shirogane Miyuki stumbled and almost fell. Watching the other person's retreating figure as he returned to his room, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll definitely play a trick on this kid tomorrow."

The next day, Feng arrived at the classroom as usual. The students in the class who were interested in basketball had already started discussing the basketball game that afternoon.

"I remember that Yu Xing was specially recruited by Teiko Middle School because of basketball."

"Yes, he's in the starting lineup, so I'm planning to go watch him after school. Do you want to come?"

"Okay." Eriri agreed, since there was nothing else to do afterward.

“I want to go watch Maple-nii’s match too,” Fujiwara Chika said.

"Then let's go together." This was naturally said to Kaguya, and she didn't refuse.

She thought she might be able to get along well with Feng's brother, and she had already started to fantasize about what it would be like to live in a family in the future.

...

Cheers erupted in the stadium; the game had begun. Feng and his friends quickly found seats near the front, but their popularity immediately drew attention.

Shirogane Miyuki smiled and waved at him, and Kaede responded with a thumbs-up.

“That’s Kaede’s brother. Why do you two look so different?” Fujiwara Chika held up her hands like binoculars, carefully examining the two of them, looking for any similarities. After a long while, she finally managed to say, “Kaede is still the prettier one.”

Kaguya only felt that the other person was superficial.

[To compare Feng to others, what an immature child!]

With a whistle, the game begins.

Teiko gained possession of the ball and immediately passed it to number six, a dark-skinned boy. He was very fast, and with a screen from Miyuki, he broke into the paint, pulled up and shot. The basketball went in with a thud, and Shuchiin was clearly stunned.

No one expected the first two points to come so quickly.

Chapter Forty-Five Cabbage

Of course, they weren't pushovers either. Shuchiin University boasts one of the world's top coaches, and they immediately launched a counterattack. After being passed around by several players, the basketball quickly reached the three-point line.

Who's dribbling the ball right now?

"The current captain of the basketball team, trained since childhood, has monstrous physical abilities." Kaguya quickly gave the answer; her brain was like a supercomputer, storing information about people in the school who were useful to her.

His opponent was number five, a purple-haired guy named Murasakibara Atsushi. He had noticed him the last time they met because he was so tall and had a large frame.

He held the ball head-on and used his shoulder to push Murasakibara aside, but before he could catch his breath, Murasakibara came forward again, making it clear that he shouldn't even think about scoring, and even if he did, he would have to pay a price.

A sharp change of direction, dribbling the ball to the free-throw line, bang!

The basketball slammed into the hoop, making it a perfect two-pointer, and the atmosphere on the sidelines reached its peak. No one expected the game to be so intense.

Aomine Daiki's attack was simply unstoppable, but the score difference wasn't significant, so Shuchiin adopted a counter-attacking strategy.

The score remained delicately balanced until Yu Xing made a steal, grabbing the basketball and throwing it out with all his might.

The basketball slammed to the ground like a cannonball, bounced up, passed through the gap between two people, and was caught by the green-haired guy at midcourt.

"Ohh!!!!"

"What is this?! A monster?!"

Rewind three seconds, and you see Midorima Shintaro standing in the center, taking a jump shot. The basketball almost touches the ceiling, drawing a beautiful arc in the air before perfectly landing in the basket.

Three seconds felt like an eternity.

Midorima smugly adjusted his glasses and said coldly, "So what if you let me in? You'll only get two points at most, while I'll get three. The gap will only get bigger and bigger."

After saying that, he ran to his own basketball hoop.

Feng was also astonished by this shot: "Is this guy a cabbage that has come to life?"

"Why cabbage?" Kaguya asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chika and Eriri also looked over.

"Haven't you guys played Plants vs. Zombies? Doesn't the Cabbage-pult look a lot like him? It shoots far, it's green, and even the hairstyle is similar." As he spoke, he showed them a picture he found online.

"puff."

The three girls burst out laughing; they couldn't look Midorima in the eye anymore—he really did look like him.

"Midori, you'll get a beating for being so arrogant." Miyuki patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Just as Midorima said, the score gap widened, and the other Teiko players began to show their strength, with even the substitutes scoring a few goals.

As Miyuki's three-pointer ended the game, Shirogane Miyuki made a three-pointer gesture towards Kaede's direction.

Finally, both sides applauded each other at halftime and returned to their respective locker rooms. In the tunnel, Kaede saw Momoi Satsuki jump up and hit Miyuki on the head, as if she was saying something.
