In the blink of an eye, the duel between Nobita and Sarkozy was a fierce battle. Mitsui and Lisa, who were watching from the sidelines, were dumbfounded. Lisa was dumbfounded because her childhood friend, whom she hadn't seen for so long, was so fierce and sent Sarkozy flying without a word. Mitsui was dumbfounded because Nobita's kick would cause a lot of trouble later on.

"Alright, Nobita, you can't hit him anymore. The Sarkozy family is one of the most powerful families in the United States, and it will be very troublesome to deal with them." Mitsui immediately walked in front of Nobita and stopped him, expressing his concerns and trying to dissuade him.

“Well, I won’t hit him anymore. He’s just a kid. What he needs most right now is love…” Da Xiong pinched his lips and forced a smile. He squatted down in front of Sarkozy and said awkwardly, “Then we’ll meet on the field.”

"Alright, alright, see you on the field." Sarkozy looked at Da Xiong's forced smile and felt like he'd been screwed over. He nodded hastily, also out of fear.

"That's good. Let's talk about everything on the field." Mitsui took out a handkerchief from his chest and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was afraid that Nobita might kick Sarkozy again and cripple him, which would be troublesome. After all, Nobita was the only boy he couldn't understand in all these years. He was so mature that he didn't seem like a primary school student at all.

Seeing that Nobita had finally stopped, Mitsui Eibu immediately went to Sarkozy's side to soothe him. "Hello, Mr. Sarkozy, I am Mitsui Eibu, the Japanese government official in charge of this competition. I have seen what happened between the two of you. As the top seed players on both sides, you were the one who started it, so the fault lies with you. However, this is a fair competition, and I hope that you can resolve your conflicts on the field."

"Hello, Mitsui, as a member of the Sarkozy family, I will restrain myself. However, since 5.5 is also a seeded player, I will definitely make him lose face on the field!" Sarkozy listened to Mitsui's advice and thought of the upcoming Japan-US competition. He immediately thought of a way to retaliate against Nobita and said fiercely.

"That's good then." Seeing that Sarkozy had finally put the conflict aside for the time being, Mitsui felt relieved. This troublesome matter was finally resolved. Thinking of this, Mitsui dared not stay here any longer, for fear of encountering something else. He immediately took Sarkozy to the medical room in the back to deal with the facial problem.

"Nobita, when did you become so amazing?!" Watching Mitsui's troops and Sarkozy leave, Lisa ran up to Nobita as if she had discovered a new continent and asked eagerly.

Chapter Twelve: The Mysterious Drug (Please Subscribe!)

"Nobita, when did you become so amazing?"

In Lisa's memory, Nobita was still the crybaby who was bullied by Gian and Suneo all the time. She never expected that Nobita would participate in this national-level brainpower competition, and she never expected that the Nobita she remembered would become so brave and confident.

"I thought I was too weak before, so I strengthened my training. After all, you can't always let others bully you, right?" Nobita chuckled, acting as if it was a trivial matter. In fact, only Nobita himself knew how difficult it was to obtain this power. He had just barely escaped death on both of his trips.

"That's great, I didn't expect you to have become so amazing." Lisa looked Nobita up and down with wide eyes, as if she were looking at a new and precious treasure. She couldn't get enough of him and couldn't understand him. But this only made Lisa more fascinated by Nobita's changes, because mysterious things always attract everyone's longing.

"It's alright, at least it can protect itself when facing danger," Nobita said calmly.

"If possible in the future, teach me. I'm quite bored all by myself in the US." Lisa hugged Da Xiong's arm tightly, playfully begging him to teach her the secret to dealing with Sarkozy.

“If you want to learn, I will definitely teach you. But Lisa, you don’t actually need to learn, because with me here, Sarkozy shouldn’t bother you anymore.” Da Xiong said confidently. Da Xiong had taught Sarkozy a lesson this time, and Lisa had never given Sarkozy a good look from beginning to end. If Sarkozy really cared about his reputation, he probably wouldn’t bother Lisa again for a while.

"Haha, then I'll leave everything to you, Nobita, the great hero." Lisa, seeing Nobita's smug look, went along with it. The tacit understanding between the two was unmistakable; they were friends from many years in the future.

The two chatted intermittently, and it was time for the press conference. Just as they were having a lively conversation, a manager from the US team took Lisa away.

"Nobita, you can't hold back during the game, okay?" Lisa made a face at Nobita as she walked behind the US team's coach, speaking very sincerely.

As Lisa left, Nobita was also taken outside the venue by Shinji Kuroki to attend a meet-and-greet with the Japanese crowd. Afterwards, Nobita was taken by Kuroki to a hotel outside the venue to rest for a day. The long-awaited Japan-US Youth Exchange Competition finally began the next day.

The venue for the competition is the International Sports Center that Da Xiong and his friends saw yesterday.

However, today is different from yesterday. All the electronic screens and seats in the venue have been turned on, and a small rest area has been prepared not far from each seat. The rest area is furnished with Japanese-style armchairs and some snacks and fruits, which shows sufficient humanistic care for the athletes.

Meanwhile, a corner of the venue had been transformed into the scheduling and monitoring center for the entire competition, housing countless expensive monitoring devices, making quite a spectacle.

Looking around the venue, Nobita genuinely felt the terrifying power of the state apparatus. The Japanese government had probably invested a lot of manpower, resources, and money in this competition, just to prove his abilities and strength to his older brother on some level. However, none of this mattered much to Nobita. He only had one goal: to win this competition.

The first event in the morning competition was relatively simple; it involved memorizing abstract paintings.

Simply put, this project trains people's spatial memory. The organizers will give each contestant 10 different cards, each card has 10 rows of pictures, and each row has 5 pictures. Most of these pictures are very varied and have no rules. Memorizing them is a real test of spatial memory ability.

Because the organizers had announced the rules to the contestants well in advance, each contestant was very familiar with the competition format and found their seats one by one. However, by sheer coincidence, Sarkozy's seat was diagonally opposite Da Xiong's, and the two met at their seats.

"So it's you, you neon kid. It's true what they say, enemies are destined to meet. But this time I'll show you the difference between you and me. Just wait and see if you can crawl between my legs." Sarkozy sat diagonally opposite Nobita. The swelling on his face had subsided considerably. He had his hair slicked back in gold and looked every bit the elegant and refined nobleman. Unfortunately, he had already forgotten how Nobita had stomped on his face yesterday.

"So you still remember the bet backstage, huh? Perfect timing. I won't stomp on your face, I'll just make you crawl between my legs." Looking at Sarkozy's arrogant demeanor, it was clear he had forgotten the pain once the wound healed. Since the other party had come to provoke him, Da Xiong had no reason to refuse.

“How could I forget? I’ll show you the difference between the US and Japan. Just wait and see if you can keep your promise.” Sarkozy said confidently to Da Xiong with wide eyes, as if he had already won the championship.

However, Sarkozy's sense of superiority was not unfounded. After being thoroughly humiliated by Da Xiong 963 days ago, Sarkozy was sent to his lodgings by the Mitsui camp. Harboring resentment towards Da Xiong, Sarkozy immediately called his family. Sarkozy's family is not only the largest political family in the eastern United States, but also the largest biopharmaceutical company in the United States.

When Sarkozy came to Japan for the competition, they specially made a product for him extracted from bees that could forcibly increase the activity of a person's brain cells and enhance memory within a certain period of time. However, the cost of this drug was very high, with one capsule costing hundreds of thousands of US dollars. Moreover, drug resistance would develop after repeated use. In this way, the family provided Sarkozy with as many as ten memory capsules in one night.

Sarkozy, disregarding all consequences, consumed millions of dollars worth of drugs overnight. Today's match became a performance for him to retaliate against Nobita and prove his abilities. He could not allow himself to fail, much less fail in front of Nobita.

"Let's give it a try, but who will keep their promise in the end is anyone's guess." Da Xiong shook his head helplessly and calmly replied to Sarkozy's furious expression.

"drop!"

With a signal given, the first match began!

Chapter Thirteen: Strange Behavior (Please Subscribe!)

"drop!"

As soon as a signal rang out throughout the arena, all the players sprang into action as if wound up, racing against time to memorize the pattern cards given to them by the staff.

The competition stipulated a memorization time of fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, the staff collected all the numbered cards, which to some extent eliminated the possibility of cheating.

The fifteen minutes were incredibly tight. The teams from both Japan and the United States used different methods to memorize the different patterns on the cards. The fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and rows of staff who had been waiting immediately collected the cards from the competition.

After the cards were collected, the staff on the other side quickly followed up by giving each person a memory card with a picture. There were also 10 memory cards, with 10 rows of pictures on each card. However, the order of the pictures in each row was different from that on the previous card. Below each picture was a small box, and the person answering the question should fill in the correct order of the pictures from the previous round in the box.

The time allotted for answering questions was twice as long as the time allotted for memorizing. The contestants had a full thirty minutes to recall and answer questions. Everyone who received a recall card was full of confidence. Nobita smiled slightly after receiving his card. These kinds of speed-memorization questions were really no challenge for him at all. If it weren't for the relatively short time, Nobita could have memorized the cards of hundreds of contestants in one go. His ability to do so was simply abnormal.

Nobita quickly filled in all 500 blanks on the card and quietly put it down, waiting for the answer to be checked in thirty minutes. Meanwhile, the others were still arguing with the first card, and only five minutes had passed.

Many people watching the game from around the field focused their attention on Nobita, who had put down the card just five minutes into the match.

"Yeah, that kid Nobita Nobi put the memory card down in just five minutes!"

"How could he do this? He doesn't even try. He's a disgrace to Japan."

"What a pity! Such handsome looks, what a disappointment!"

People outside the venue saw Nobita's relaxed expression after putting down the card and assumed that he had given up the game, so they criticized Nobita for his arrogance.

The situation on the podium inside the venue wasn't much better. The people on it immediately saw Da Xiong slumped over the table on the big screen. As the opening ceremony speaker for this competition, the Vice Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Aoi Teng, was furious. Da Xiong's behavior was simply too frivolous. He even immediately made the decision to dismiss the Mitsui camp. Did the Ministry of Education select such a person to participate in the competition? It was completely disregarding the national competition. Such a person should leave the Ministry of Education.

"Go and fetch Mitsui, the head of the camp. I want to hear his explanation of the candidate's situation." Aoi Teng waved his hand and immediately instructed the person next to him to find Mitsui, who was in charge of this competition.

Before long, Mitsui followed the official who had gone to find him and arrived in front of Aoi Teng. Mitsui looked at the angry vice governor with a puzzled expression, bowing slightly as he waited for Aoi Teng's instructions.

"Mitsui, this is the seed player you found? He gave up after only a few minutes. How did you find such a person?" Aoi Teng pointed in the direction of Nobita's position, his finger trembling incessantly. He was clearly very angry at Nobita's passive-aggressive behavior.

"Hmm, who is it?" Following the direction Aoi Teng pointed, Mitsui's team saw Nobita with his eyes closed, seemingly having entered a meditative state.

Seeing that the memory card was placed aside and that he was in a daze with his eyes closed, Mitsui was also confused. It had only been five minutes, why did he stop? Had this kid finished everything?

However, this time the questions were jointly set by both sides, and each question was incredibly tricky and extremely difficult. It was precisely because of this that the competition was held at this level. But only five minutes had passed, and Mitsui's team didn't know whether to believe that Nobita had finished all the questions or had already given up. After all, the boy in front of them always exceeded their expectations and was simply too unpredictable.

“Governor Aoi, in my opinion, Nobita Nobi should have finished the questions for this round of projects. You know, when Kuroki and I tested him, he memorized the contents of a district phone book in five minutes. These graphic cards should not be too difficult for Nobita Nobi. On the contrary, I think he is confident and is already preparing for the next test.”

Thinking of the amazing surprises Nobita had given him time and time again, Mitsui gritted his teeth and chose to believe in Nobita. Geniuses are common, but prodigies are rare, and a talent like Nobita's is even rarer. Mitsui believed in Nobita precisely because of Nobita's inner charm. He believed that the boy in front of him could bring him a miracle.

"You can memorize the contents of a district phone book in five minutes? Mitsui, are you kidding me? Are you just making excuses for your work mistakes?" Having never personally experienced Nobita's abnormality, Aoi Teng didn't believe that someone could memorize a phone book with thousands of pages in five minutes. A normal person couldn't even flip through the pages to the end, let alone memorize the whole thing!

"It's true. If you don't believe me, Governor Aoi can call Kuroki, the chuunibyou who went with me to test Nobita, to confront us. This wasn't actually a mistake on our part; on the contrary, we found a genius with exceptional talent for this competition!"

Mitsui's headquarters firmly insisted on Dai-no's achievement, resolutely standing on Dai-no's side and refusing to back down in the slightest.

"Go find Kuroki Chuuni and let me see what he has to say. If what he says is different from what you said, then you should leave the Ministry of Education. This place is not suitable for someone like you." Aoi Teng had worked in the Ministry for many years and had reached his current position precisely because of his meticulous attitude. He did not believe Mitsui's opportunistic words at all and decided to verify the truth of the matter himself.

The atmosphere on the podium was tense, and the competition venue was no better. Every contestant was racking their brains to recall and fill in the memory cards in their hands, hoping to win the first round of this high-scoring competition.

However, after sitting in his seat for about ten minutes, Nobita's expression changed. He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. He raised his hand, beckoned to an examiner next to him, said something, and then turned and left the arena without looking back.

After Nobita left the arena, Kuroki Chuuji, who was in charge of the match coordination, received a note and almost fainted. Just then, someone sent by Aoi Teng came to find Kuroki Chuuji to go to the cultural center. Kuroki Chuuji ran and walked all the way to Aoi Teng and said breathlessly, "Director Mitsui, Nobita needs to take leave from the second match!"

Chapter Fourteen: Gaps in Time and Space

"Director Mitsui, Nobita Nobi is actually asking for leave for his second match!"

Kuroki Chuuji immediately ran to the podium with the note reporting the situation on the ground to report this sudden event. The first match hadn't even ended yet and a player was already asking for leave. This was simply outrageous.

"What? Nobita Nobi is taking leave for the second match!" Mitsui's team was immediately dumbfounded when they heard Kuroki's chuunibyou news. They had just assured the Minister of Education, Aoi Toki, about the progress of the match and proved Nobita's outstanding talent. But as soon as they said that, Nobita Nobi slapped them in the face.

The first event had twenty minutes left, and the second event would begin immediately after the first. Da Xiong's way of asking for leave by leaving the scene was undoubtedly a waiver of the second event, which had a crucial impact on the entire event, making Mitsui's team extremely anxious.

"Hmph, is this the genius you found? Is this how you face the competition?" Aoi Teng, sitting next to the leader's platform, had obviously heard the conversation between Kuroki Chuuni and Mitsui's team. His face immediately darkened, and he lashed out at Mitsui's team.

"This, this..." After being scolded by Aoi Teng, Mitsui's unit was speechless in the face of this awkward situation, standing there blankly, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Kuroki Chuuni, who was standing nearby, noticed something was wrong and stepped forward, holding a note in his hand, saying, "However, Nobita told us before he left that he should have gotten a perfect score on the first project, and that even if he lost on the second project, it wouldn't matter to him. Our staff verified his memory card, and the result..."

"What happened?" Kuroki Chuuni's words undoubtedly rekindled Mitsui's hopes, and his expression immediately became excited.

"As it turned out, just as he said, he got a perfect score, correct on all 500 questions without a single mistake. It's really hard to imagine how he managed to answer all those questions in just five minutes."

Shinji Kuroki casually handed the note to Mitsui, asking him to verify its contents. Mitsui immediately took the note, which read in neat handwriting: Nobita Nobi requests leave for Project 2, full marks for Project 1.

"Wow, that's a perfect score! Good lad, he solved all 500 questions in the first project in just five minutes. If he really got all the questions right in the first project as he said, that 1000 points will put him far ahead of everyone else. He's a prodigy."

Mitsui's hand trembled as he held the note, clearly shocked by Nobita's composure and confidence. He quickly handed the note to his superior, Aoi Teng, the head of the Ministry of Education.

After receiving the note respectfully presented by the Mitsui camp, Aoi Teng glanced at it out of the corner of his eye. Sure enough, the words on the note were the same as what Kuroki Chuuni had said. This Nobita Nobi had accomplished in just five minutes what others couldn't do in thirty minutes, which was truly astonishing.

"Since Nobita performed so well in the first event, I won't hold him accountable for his failure. But he absolutely must participate in the second event. It would be a real shame if he didn't use his talent to compete." Aoi Teng held a note in his hand, strictly ordering Mitsui's team and Kuroki Chuuni to urge Nobita to participate in the second event, hoping that Nobita would once again crush the American team with his outstanding performance.

"Governor Aoi, it's probably too late. It seems Nobita has already left the venue." Kuroki Chuni explained to Aoi Teng with a helpless expression. As the person in charge of the venue for this competition, he received the news immediately that Nobita had left the International Sports Center.

"What! This disorganized and undisciplined bastard!" Aoi Teng was furious when he heard Kuroki's report. It was rare to have a genius who could lead the Japanese team to victory in this competition, allowing Japan to beat the American team and bring glory to the country. He never expected that this hope would just quit like that.

Inside the venue, three men on the podium were arguing heatedly about Nobita's situation. Nobita, the protagonist of the matter, stood outside the international arena with a very strange expression, as if something had happened that shocked him greatly. His face showed a panicked expression.

"How is this possible? That incident happened so long ago, how can there still be such fluctuations now?" Da Xiong looked around, but the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong, and he kept muttering to himself.

Waves of mental energy spread outwards, and Nobita's anxious expression suggested he was searching for something, which was indeed true.

When Nobita finished the first project, he sensed a peculiar fluctuation in his outward spiritual energy. This fluctuation was very familiar to Nobita; if we were to describe it in a word, this fluctuation would be magic.

So much time has passed since the events in the Demon World, and Nobita and his friends entered the magical world through a parallel universe using the "what-if" phone booth. After they defeated the Demon King, they used the "what-if" phone booth to restore this world to normal, but Nobita can still sense the presence of magic.

It's important to know that in this world, apart from Nobita, who possesses powerful mental strength and magic, no one else who went to the Demon World that time had magic. This means that two possibilities have occurred: one is that someone in this real world possesses unknown magical elements, and the other is that someone has emerged from a parallel magical world.

Either of these scenarios is unpredictable for Nobita. If there are people in the real world who can use magic, then the world we know now is not as simple as Nobita thinks. There must be some other capable people in the shadows spying on this world.

If it's the second scenario, the consequences would be even more dramatic. That is, the magical world and the real world come into contact for some unknown reason, and the ending is just like in a certain Lu novel, where the magical world descends into the real world. If these two worlds collide, it will undoubtedly bring a devastating blow to the real world.

Neither of these two anticipated outcomes is acceptable to Nobita or the current world. Therefore, Nobita doesn't have time to calmly accept the second competition in the venue, because what is happening to him now will change a world!
