The brave Simmel wants to resign

Nanako and Mimiko clung to the edge of the pool, their eyes sparkling as they stared intently at the pool.

"There are five on the other side... Do you have a battle plan?" Simmel asked, her gaze fixed on Gojo Satoru.

"Have."

Xia Youjie nodded.

"Bribed the referee to have Glass fill his water bottle with vodka."

"Over there, someone attempted to bribe the referee; they receive a yellow card."

Located in the center, Glass waved his hand in a very fair manner.

"I was wrong. I'll go back and buy you a pack of Bismuth when I get back."

Bismu is a benchmark brand of cigarettes for Japanese women, and it's quite expensive.

"Over there, the bribe to the referee was successful, and the yellow card has been revoked."

Fair Glass nodded repeatedly, not forgetting to cover the ears of the Kaba sisters so they wouldn't hear it.

"Hey! This is so unfair!"

Gojo Satoru immediately pouted and complained.

"You can bribe me, ah, but I just said yesterday that I was going to quit smoking... never mind, I'll keep the yellow card."

"Great!"

And at that very moment—

Taking advantage of Gojo Satoru's attention being drawn to the glass, Natsuyu Suke suddenly tossed the ball high into the air.

call------

He had already changed into a thin black jacket and black boxer shorts. With the blessing of the spell, the man's movements were quite sharp and fluid.

The shoulder line is taut and straight, and the arms are pulled back.

--boom!

The next second, he suddenly swung his arm forward.

The soft volleyball was instantly dented by the impact, and with a whooshing sound, it shot straight towards the opponent's half of the court.

The ball swiftly swept past Gojo Satoru, causing the person involved to freeze for a moment.

Damn it!

Gojo Satoru's six eyes have a wide field of vision, but if one's attention is diverted, even the best eyesight is useless.

This shot was a testament to the tacit understanding that Simmel and Xia Youjie had developed over the past month of missions together, and it was also a surprise attack launched under the guidance of Simmel, a true hero.

"You're such a baby, Simmel!!"

"These are all reasonable tactics."

Simmel was all smiles.

I, Simmel, love playing fast-paced games.

The group spoke very quickly, but the ball was moving with great force and was about to hit the ground.

But facing this powerful and heavy ball, Nanami behind Gojo Satoru remained unusually calm.

Move your position by using your thigh muscles, keep your eyes sharp, turn your body slightly to the side, and raise your arms naturally.

Bang!

He enveloped his arm in magical power, steadily meeting the incoming volleyball.

With a muffled thud, the force of the volleyball was steadily neutralized, and with a high lift, the ball, which had been shot at us, was sent flying into the sky.

"Well done, Nanami!"

Gojo was overjoyed.

As soon as his feet touched the water, he leaped high into the air.

His body was like a bowstring.

His hands resembled long whips.

The sunlight shone down, outlining the taut muscles of Gojo Satoru. With the power of a top-tier male sorcerer, this ball—

He'll be very handsome.

boom!--!------

In an instant, black and red flashed intermittently, causing a momentary distortion in the field of vision.

Xia Youjie was dazed by the flash.

This was definitely not Gojo Satoru's special effect; it was just that he deliberately found a backlit spot and unleashed a Solar Fist combined with a burst of curse power for everyone.

Xia Youjie's already small eyes were now even narrower, but intercepting the ball would still be difficult.

But clearly, among all people, in terms of agility....

He is the undisputed number one.

Without hearing any loud noise, they saw the pool part and a line of water appear as Simmel ran close to the surface of the water to the ball's landing point.

He's never played volleyball, but he's very good at hitting things back.

They folded their hands together, imitating the gesture.

Unlike Nanami and Gojo, he wasn't very good at using magic, so he relied solely on his physical strength, yet he still managed to send the ball flying high.

"nice shot!"

Xia Youjie immediately continued.

And so, the players went back and forth, and the score kept changing.

Then, dramatically, the game came to a close.

Faced with an almost unsolvable kill shot, Gojo Satoru shamelessly used the unscrupulous technique [Azure] to teleport himself at close range.

He instantly arrived at the ball's landing point and hit the ball directly into the air.

Nanami had no choice but to activate the technique.

The ten-stroke incantation "Waluo Waluo"

Divide the target length into equal parts and forcefully create weaknesses at the 7:3 point.

A critical hit can be triggered as long as the "point" is hit.

To put it simply, it's about dealing critical hits.

Faced with Qi Hai's [Critical Strike], whose strength was approaching that of a first-level sorcerer, Xia Youjie had no choice but to deal with it hastily. Among everyone, his spells were the least visually appealing, so he had never planned to use them.

He managed to catch the ball, but couldn't control its direction. The round ball hurtled wildly toward Xia Youjie's face. After barely dodging it, it crossed the edge of the pool and flew straight toward the sea.

"what."

"what."

Everyone could only watch the volleyball fly away, thinking that the game was over.

Until their expressions gradually turned terrified.

"Wait, Simmel?!"

Everyone who saw the figure chasing the volleyball at that moment instinctively made a move to stop him.

Unfortunately, Simmel was too fast; she not only leaped out of the pool but also landed on the railing, and then—

He jumped into the sea.

"I go!"

Xia Youjie quickly summoned his cursed spirit, and Wutiao Wu planned to teleport a second time.

But unexpectedly...

Simmel did not fall.

As if gravity had been defied, Simmel soared through the sky and easily returned the ball, which was more than ten meters above sea level, to everyone's astonishment.

The competition was over, but it was the first time everyone had ever seen that Simmel possessed a flight technique.

"You bastard! Just how much have you been hiding?!"

"There are many."

"At this point, we should say that it's nothing!"

After the match, Simmel was satisfied with his victory.

This person is surprisingly competitive.

After BBQ, pillow fight, and water volleyball, we finally arrived at the port and everyone dispersed to rest.

But some people stayed on the deck.

"Nanami, aren't you going back?"

"I want to go fishing."

"It must be very difficult to fish from a moving cruise ship, right?"

Xia Youjie walked behind Qi Hai and casually glanced at his junior's profile.

Don't overthink it.

".....Um."

Neither of them said it explicitly, but they both knew the truth.

I had a lot of fun today, which made me nostalgic for the old days.

A few months ago, the first and second year students of the vocational college also spent their days laughing and joking around. Because Gojo Satoru and the others didn't get along well in their first year, they didn't have many memories. It wasn't until their second year that Gojo and Natsumi became true friends, and Nanami also enrolled.

At that time, there was another student in the same grade.

Haihara Xiong.
