Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

More than ten minutes later.

Because of the rain, the people on the field dispersed quickly.

Amidst the pattering rain, only Akatama Hayakumo and Hoshino Hideyuki remained on the field.

Hideyuki Hoshino stretched and asked:

"Lord Chiyu, why are you doing this? We haven't even decided who will win yet."

"Besides, even you wouldn't be able to accurately predict the landing point of lightning if it struck directly. This kind of behavior already violates the rule that you can't hurt people."

After a long silence, Akagami Hayaru slowly walked to the sidelines, looked at the forwards on the grass, and said in a deep voice:

"You're wrong, Smiling Fox."

"The match is over, the winner has been decided!"

Before he finished speaking, large swaths of white fog rose up around the football field, obscuring even the tall buildings in the distance!

Hey, are you polluting the environment?

Hoshino Hideyuki narrowed his eyes, sensed for a moment, and then said softly:

"Enchantment?"

"good."

Akadama Soun said:

"Kid, choosing to be a player and play the game yourself is indeed a good move, but while it may give you an advantage on the field, it will reduce your awareness of the surrounding area."

"In that case, why would I waste this opportunity?"

"Now, you can't escape! At this moment, I am invincible!"

Hoshino Hideyuki scratched his head: "So, from the very beginning, you never intended to play games with me properly, right?"

Akagami Hayakumo laughed heartily:

"Fox, deciding the winner through games... that's hilarious. Do you think I'd believe you?"

"You might be planning to win the game, get the Divine Transformation, and then still report me to the countermeasures office!"

"Since we both want each other's assets, how could I possibly play the game obediently with you? Of course, I have to strike first and keep you here forever!"

"I will accept both divine transformations!"

Hideyuki Hoshino sighed softly.

The older generation doesn't follow the rules...

"Smiling Fox...Excuse me, are you Mr. Smiling Fox?!"

Suddenly, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.

Turning his head, he saw in the center of the field a huge golden birdcage that appeared with the white mist.

A statue of a tengu stood atop the birdcage, and each railing was also decorated with exquisite patterns.

There was a person sitting inside the cage.

Hoshino Hideyuki realized that Akagami Soun must have used some kind of Tengu clan secret technique to quickly set up the barrier, binding a human inside to be used as the core of the barrier. That human was a kind of Jinchūriki.

If you look closely at the face...

and many more……

Amamiya Yukiho!

On the other side, Akagami Soun no longer concealed himself, tearing off his human skin to reveal his true form as a tengu.

He flapped his wings, flew to the birdcage, and looked down at Hoshino Hideyuki, pointing his nostrils at him:

"What, you know this woman?"

"I never expected that tying someone up casually would lead to such an unexpected surprise!"

"Don't worry~"

"I'll defeat you right now and throw you into a cage to keep her company!"

"Or, you can surrender and I'll reunite you two right now!"

In the cage.

Upon hearing this, Yukiho Amamiya immediately stood up, her face tense, and shouted at Hideyuki Hoshino:

"Please, Mr. Smiling Fox, don't worry about me. You must defeat this tengu!"

Hoshino Hideyuki narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

Chapter 89 Sakamoto remembered the fox's silhouette!

"She's just a human girl. You expect me to surrender? Ha, you're really joking."

Hoshino Hideyuki said loudly, conjuring up fox ears and a tail, and entering fox-human form.

Then he pulled out a tenfold return steamed bun from his tail, broke off a piece, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. Feeling his demonic power rapidly returning, he smiled and said:

"Old Deng, I know Tengu is arrogant by nature, but this is a bit too much, isn't it? You don't actually think you've got this in the bag, do you?"

"From the very beginning of the football match, you've used far more mana than I have. Then you forcibly summoned lightning, and now you have to maintain such a large barrier. How much energy do you have left?"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the level 3 Heart Moonfire spread out, instantly enveloping half of the court and burning away the approaching white mist!

However, Akagami Soun remained remarkably calm.

"Kid, you haven't started refining your divine transformation yet, have you? No wonder."

"Do you think that divine transformation can only be used after it has been fully refined?"

"Big mistake!"

As he spoke, he took out the bundle of gleaming rice ears from his bosom, as if he were holding a scepter.

"Once I refine most of it, I will be able to indirectly control the power of faith within. The thunder and the white mist barrier are not entirely summoned by me by consuming my luck."

"What's more, this barrier itself can not only trap you, but also continuously provide me with magical power..."

As Akagami Hayaru finished speaking, he glanced at the teaching building out of the corner of his eye, and laughed heartily, revealing two rows of yellowed teeth.

"Forget it, you probably wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, a junior. Just... obediently accept your fate!"

Akagami Hayabusa waved her hand, flapping her wings in mid-air and summoning gusts of wind that swept towards Hoshino Hideyuki, carrying mist with them.

"He's quite the talker when it comes to exaggerating."

Hoshino Hideyuki swallowed another bite of steamed bun, activated his Heart Moonfire, and once again collided with the thick white mist!

In an instant, demonic power surged, and wind and fire danced wildly!

Inside the cage, Yukiho Amamiya watched everything nervously, her hands initially clenched into fists, then slowly relaxing...

at the same time.

Inside the teaching building.

"What's going on? How can it fog up indoors?"

"Who blew up the chemistry lab again?"

"Ah, I'm suddenly so sleepy..."

The barrier of Akagami Hōyū extended here. Under the effect of the spell, the students in the club activity room swayed and fell to the ground, fast asleep, and their cheeks quickly sunken in.

Their life force is being absorbed by Akatama Soun and transformed into magical power—this is why Akatama Soun is confident in waging a protracted war against Hoshino Hideyuki.

However, the students did not sleep deeply.

For example, Sakamoto Jiro fell asleep and, because he was standing on the stairs, lost his balance and rolled down half a flight of stairs, bumping his head and waking up in pain.

"What's wrong with me……"

He rubbed his head, stood up groggily, and then noticed the white mist surrounding him.

What is this!

Is this still a school?

In his panic, he heard voices not far away. Without thinking of anything else, he hurriedly went closer.

After going upstairs and turning left, I saw several people who were still awake.

It was Kondo Nozomi and the young people she brought from outside the school—apparently, they had fallen down in the corridor and hadn't fallen asleep.

Kondo Nozomi noticed Sakamoto and called out:

"Hey, you fat guy over there, do you know what happened?"

Even though we were in the same class, you didn't remember my name...?

Sakamoto was very unhappy, but only dared to lower his head and whisper, "I... I don't know either, I was like this when I woke up."

"You're so useless..."

"what!"

Before Kondo Nozomi could finish scolding him, a young man from outside the school next to her suddenly screamed.

Everyone looked over and were surprised to see that two gray wolves, each almost half a person tall, had materialized in the mist and were biting his legs from the left and right!

He struggled and punched the wolf on the left on the head, making it pause. However, the wolf on the right suddenly exerted its strength, pulling him down and dragging him into the depths of the fog.

With more wolf howls and man screams, it was clear that his end was not going to be pleasant.

At this point, the group of young people finally realized what was happening.

Monster...

This is absolutely not something that should be in a school!

Having had some exposure to supernatural powers, Kondo Nozomi screamed and ran towards the stairwell first.

The others also snapped out of their daze and immediately followed.

Whatever that thing is, the best thing to do is run!
