Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

The melody of "Youth" quietly rose in my ears, and those non-existent memories slowly crept into my heart like snowflakes falling from the sky.

The endless snow-capped mountains stretch to the horizon, pure white being the only background color of this world. A gentle breeze swirls snowflakes past, and everything around is peaceful and romantic.

"Toudou, you're too slow!" Itadori Hisahito waved his hand towards the distance, his tone tinged with complaint.

"Shi Ye and I have been waiting for you for ages."

"He probably went to support Kotakada again." Lin Shiye shook his head helplessly.

"You're hopeless."

"Haha, sorry, sorry." Toudou Aoi laughed and scratched her head, taking out two exquisitely packaged small gift boxes from her bag, her eyes sparkling.

"But I also picked up some souvenirs for you guys on the way!"

"These are easy to lose when you're skiing!" Kijima quickly reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Higashido Aoi, holding the gift box, fell into deep thought.

"What are you babbling about? Let's go change our gear first." Lin Shiye reached out and grabbed Dongtang Kui by the neck, half-dragging him towards the ski shop.

"Just leave the surrounding items at the store, that's all."

"That makes sense!" Higashido Aoi nodded as if she had just realized something, and then became excited again.

"Shall we have a race later? Let's see who can skate the fastest!"

"I still prefer figure skating," Itachi said with a smile, stroking his chin.

"You two, you always cause trouble when you're together." Lin Shiye shook his head with a smile.

.........

I firmly believe that a woman's mature sexiness and charm are the most captivating scenery—but Lin Shiye disagrees.

Our disagreement lies here.

The further one goes on the path to maturity, the stronger one's longing for the beauty of youth becomes.

From this perspective, Lin Shiye and I are indeed close friends...

boom!

A dull thud suddenly exploded, and Higashido Aoi's body flew backward again, his back scraping the ground and carving a deep furrow, sending up a cloud of gravel and dust.

"That was awesome!" He got up in a disheveled state, but his grin widened, full of exhilaration.

Both men were drenched in sweat. This brutal, hard-hitting combat sent adrenaline surging through their veins, and every muscle and bone screamed with exhilaration.

This is so exciting!

"It's not over yet! You haven't had enough fun, have you?" Toudou Aoi laughed wildly, her body sinking as she charged forward like a wild beast.

"Bring it on!" Lin Shiye lowered his center of gravity and began to defend.

Dodge? Forget about it, it's an elbow strike!

Dongtang Kui appeared in front of Lin Shiye, his right arm raised high, his knuckles clenched white, his face filled with almost fanatical fighting spirit. He put all his strength into this punch; even before the fist arrived, the surrounding air was already trembling under the pressure.

Is that all, Toudou Aoi?

Right now, you simply can't make your best friend have a good time!

Higashido Aoi!

Are you going to stop here?

Are you willing to be left far behind by your closest friends whom you admire?

East! Hall! Aoi!

"Take this!"

A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted! Black and red lightning bolts of magical energy burst forth from his fist, instantly sweeping across the entire arena, causing the ground to tremble violently.

"Black Flash!"

Lin Shiye's pupils contracted slightly as he was struck head-on by the punch, which carried terrifying power. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

"Tokiyo!" Itadori Yuujin's expression changed. Just as he was about to take a step, he saw Toudou Aoi following closely behind.

He gave his opponent no chance to catch his breath. Before Lin Shiye could land, he suddenly leaped up and slammed his fist down.

"Black Flash!!"

With a loud crash, a huge crater was smashed into the ground, and dust shot into the sky.

Lin Shiye had already dodged the powerful blow by turning to the side, after all, he didn't want to be smashed into the ground.

"Not bad, let's go again!" Lin Shiye laughed loudly, his fighting spirit even stronger.

Before he could finish speaking, Higashido Aoi's whip kick swept across the room with a whistling sound.

"Black Flash!!!"

In the monitoring room, watching the almost explosive battle on the screen, everyone held their breath.

"Three consecutive black flashes..." Angehime was so shocked that her mouth was slightly open, and she couldn't close it for a long time.

"Compared to this, that kid named Lin Shiye is more concerning." Masamichi Yaga turned his gaze to Gojo Satoru beside him.

The latter was casually leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed, whistling and looking up, as if to say, "I know nothing."

On the other side of the battlefield, Itajō saw that Rin Shiya had been knocked away again and was about to rush over to help when he suddenly heard a sharp whooshing sound.

His pupils contracted sharply, and he rolled to the side, a bullet striking precisely where he had just been standing.

Zenjima Shinichi stood on a high tree branch, a gun barrel locked onto his figure, bullets flying in and out.

Yuji Itadori kept dodging and looking for cover by using the terrain, but ahead of him, Kasumi Miwa had already blocked his way with her sword.

The blue-haired girl lowered her waist and assumed a stance, unleashing a sharp slash with a flash of light. However, Yuujin Itadori lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped into the air, easily avoiding the attack.

"Such a quick reaction." A hint of surprise flashed in Miwa Kasumi's eyes.

As soon as Itadori landed and regained his footing, the attacks from Mechanical Maru and Noriyuki Kamo locked onto him.

"This is bad, we're surrounded," Itachi muttered to himself, but the next second, his face suddenly darkened.

He could clearly feel the undisguised, chilling killing intent.

"Do they... want to kill me?" Itajimaru's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

The Kyoto school students' magical power had reached its peak, and an attack was imminent.

But at this critical moment, a terrifying pressure descended like a mountain!

"!!!"

Just as Toudou Aoi raised her hand, preparing to activate the spell to rescue Itachi, her movement suddenly froze in mid-air.

The others were so overwhelmed by the pressure that they were stiff and unable to move a single finger. Large beads of cold sweat poured down their foreheads. Xigong Tao, who was flying in the air, lost her magic power and fell straight down from the sky.

"A bunch of clueless idiots." Lin Shiye, who had been knocked away, slowly walked over and casually dusted off his shoulders.

"We're having a great time, don't spoil the fun."

As he spoke, he casually brushed a stray hair from his forehead, his eyes turning colder.

"Get your facts straight, you idiots."

Cold sweat splattered onto the ground with a soft, crackling sound. The students from Kyoto School didn't dare to breathe, their muscles trembling uncontrollably.

"Three seconds, get out of my sight."

The moment Lin Shiye finished speaking, the overwhelming pressure suddenly receded, and the group felt a sense of relief, as if they had been granted a pardon. Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately disappeared into the woods, not even daring to look back.

The Tokyo school students, who had been hiding in the shadows and were planning to lend a helping hand, all breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's terrifying..." The panda raised its paw and wiped away non-existent cold sweat from its forehead.

"Bokuyu Hana." Dog-Turtle Thorn leaned against the tree trunk, feeling a little dizzy, clearly also quite shaken by the oppressive aura.

Shunping seems to be doing well; it appears he has developed some tolerance.

"Just who is that guy?" Zenin Maki frowned, looking at Fushiguro Megumi beside her.

"No wonder you said there was no need to worry about Japanese knotweed..."

"It's hard to explain." Fushiguro Megumi slowly lowered her raised hand, the warmth of the curse still lingering on her fingertips.

He almost became Yura Furube.

Returning our gaze to the center of the battlefield, the troublemakers had all dispersed, but Dongtang Kui suddenly pointed a finger at Lin Shiye and spoke loudly with a serious expression:

"My dear friend, you've done something wrong!"

Lin Shiye: "?"

Uruga: "?"

"I know you want to protect Itajima." Toudou Aoi looked at him earnestly, her tone solemn.

"I completely felt that sincerity from him towards his dearest friend... but!"

He abruptly changed the subject, raising his voice slightly.

"Kudoshin isn't a fledgling that can only hide under your wing! If you keep overprotecting him like this, he'll never truly grow!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiye fell silent.

Dongtang was right. Along the way, he always made it a habit to shield those around him from bad situations.

It was just a small favor for him, but it certainly made them miss out on a lot of growth they should have experienced, not only in terms of ability, but more importantly, in terms of character development.

Thinking about it this way, he was indeed somewhat arrogant, so arrogant that he felt entitled to interfere in other people's lives.

But he doesn't regret it.

Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still make the same choice.

Because they are friends, a precious bond he has built up little by little since he came into this world.

"But you're right, troublesome things shouldn't exist." Toudou Aoi's voice rang out again, pulling Lin Shiye out of his thoughts.

"Then I, as your best friend, will give Itajit a proper lesson."

"Huh?" Itachi was taken aback.

"That makes sense." Lin Shiye nodded.

"In that case, I'll leave Itadori to you, Todo!"

"...Am I some kind of object?" Itadori scratched his face. Didn't anyone ask for my opinion?

"Don't worry, I will absolutely not hold back in a battle with my best friend." Toudou Aoi laughed loudly and got into a fighting stance.

"Come on, Japanese knotweed!"

"Although I don't understand the situation, we're going to fight now, right? In that case..." Itadori clenched his fist, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"I'm going in, Toudou!"
