Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

"Me too, uncle! Although you rejected my invitation, I will not show mercy to you in the competition. You should be prepared to be defeated by me."

"Now that we've come to this, I'll clean my neck and wait for you."

Even after saying this, Nan Tianren still didn't think he would lose to this girl who didn't look like a wrestler at all.

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go find that pink-haired girl who seems to be able to eat."

After saying that, the four young girls skipped away into the distance.

"The girl with pink hair?"

For some reason, a pink-haired girl who he had met once in a ramen restaurant seemed to appear in front of Nan Tianren's eyes.

"By the way, these guys who look very unusual should all be fighters."

Nan Tianren kept stuffing food into his mouth while looking at all the fighters in the central hall.

The first thing that caught his eye was a blond boy who looked to be about the same age as him.

Next came a big guy who looked like a wrestler.

Then there was a guy with extremely long hair, crawling on all fours, and whose face could not be seen clearly.

Then there was a 69-year-old comrade and a black fighter who looked very powerful.

Finally, there is an ordinary-looking uncle with a black beard.

"These are probably the only fighters we can see in this restaurant. I wonder what the other fighters are doing right now. As for that ordinary-looking bearded guy, I can tell at a glance that he's just a passerby. I'm afraid he'll be eliminated in the first round. I definitely won't fight him in the competition, so I'd better focus my observation on others."

On the other side of the central hall, in a corner that Nan Tianren had never glanced at, a shogi match was taking place.

"Well, now we are in checkmate."

With one move, the man named Kaneda Suekichi easily defeated the mixed martial arts world champion in front of him, Okubo Naoya.

"Damn it!"

Okubo Naoya roared in dissatisfaction.

"What a shame. You were so close to winning. I'm always waiting for you to challenge me again."

Kaneda Suekichi stood up and shouted to the crowd:

"Well! Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me? The challenge fee is 10,000 yen, and if you can defeat me, I will return 100,000 yen!"

"I come!"

The visitor was none other than Ken Oya, president of Iikuniya Bookstore, the number one paper publisher in Neon.

However, not long after the start of this shogi game, [Kengankai President] Katahara Metō suddenly appeared in the central hall:

"You have all been waiting for a long time, right? Let's get started! Now! Let me explain the itinerary! Twenty-seven hours from now! This cruise ship will arrive at the place of the decisive battle!

After arriving at the final battle site, all members of the [Kenwon Association] please register your fighters for the [Kenwon Fatal Knockout Tournament]! After the registration is completed, the [Kenwon Fatal Knockout Tournament] will officially begin!

In addition, fighting between fighters is strictly prohibited on this cruise ship. Once discovered, both parties will be disqualified from participating in the [Kenwon Fatal Elimination Tournament]!"

After saying all this, Katara Metō immediately left the central hall.

At the same time, the shogi game between Kaneda Suekichi and Oya Ken also came to an end. The final result was naturally a complete victory for Kaneda Suekichi.

"That way I win."

Kaneda Suekichi said after the general.

"I am completely defeated by you."

Mr. Ken Ooya also collapsed to the side after racking his brains but still failed.

"Mr. Oya Ken, I have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

"That is - can you let me take over the position of the representative fighter of Yoikokuniya Bookstore?"

"Hmm? Again? But now we have to change the representative fighter..."

"Of course, didn't President Katahara just say that? The representative fighters will start registering after arriving at the decisive battle site. In other words, before arriving at the decisive battle site, the representative fighters can be replaced at will!"

"But didn't President Katahara also say that fighting is prohibited on this cruise ship?"

"President Ooya, you can't not listen carefully to what others say. President Katahara only said that fighting between representative fighters is prohibited, but he didn't say that fighting between corporate representative fighters and non-fighters like me is prohibited!"

"I've been tricked again. I didn't expect there would be such a loophole in the rules on this cruise ship. Well, since you insist on being the representative fighter of our Yoikokuniya Bookstore, I'm embarrassed to reject you directly. I'll let you meet my fighter first."

Ooya Ken sighed and decided to take Kaneda Suekichi to meet his fighter, the famous Jeet Kune Do master.

──It's none other than Hyotei Himuro Ryo. Before I boarded this cruise ship, I had already carefully studied his fighting skills. Now, when I face him, I am absolutely sure that I can win. I will definitely be the representative fighter of Yoikuniya Bookstore!

Kaneda Suekichi followed Ooya Ken while thinking seriously.

"Oh, by the way, the representative fighter of our Yoikokuniya Bookstore is no longer [Hyotei] Himuro Ryo."

Ooya Ken, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke.

Chapter 28: The Wolf Clan

"what?!"

The sudden change surprised Kaneda Suekichi.

"Just when the Kengan Fatal Elimination Tournament was announced, a Jeet Kune Do master found me and said that he wanted to be the representative fighter of our Yoikokuniya Bookstore. That man defeated Himuro Ryo with only three moves."

Ooya Ken spoke slowly.

"Only three moves?"

"That's right. A volley kick followed by a high hook kick and then an inch punch. That man defeated Himuro Ryo with just three moves."

"Who defeated Himuro Ryo in just three moves?"

"【Street Fighter】Flying Dragon!"

A fighter who looked like the founder of Jeet Kune Do appeared in front of Ooya Ken and Kaneda Suekichi and introduced himself:

"So, you want to snatch my qualification to compete in the [Kenwon Fatal Elimination Tournament]?"

Feilong continued to speak to Kaneda Suekichi. The extremely powerful aura emanating from him forced Kaneda Suekichi to tremble and almost leave first.

──Don't retreat! My body! It's scared, and it's driving me to run away by instinct! Don't forget! Why have I been fighting so hard until now!

Even though he felt endless fear, Kaneda Suekichi still gambled everything he had, mustered up his courage, and replied to Feilong in a trembling voice:

"Ah... um... yes! It's me..."

"You are brave, but too reckless."

Feilong clapped his hands and praised Kaneda Suekichi:

"So when will it start? When will the battle between you and me begin?"

"Now...now..."

"it is good!"

The moment Feilong said "OK", Feilong's jab had already hit Kaneda Suekichi's face. The speed was so fast that Kaneda Suekichi, who had prepared for a counterattack in advance, was unable to react for a while.

──So... so fast! If I hadn't taken a lot of painkillers early in the morning, I would have lost my ability to fight immediately after that blow. But...

Before Kaneda Suekichi could finish his thoughts, Feilong's sun-shaped punches hit Kaneda Suekichi one after another.

From the face to the knees, in just one breath, Feilong threw seventeen consecutive jabs at Kaneda Suekichi.

Without even time to think, Kaneda Suekichi had to use his arms to fend off the attack with difficulty.

However, just as Kaneda Suekichi was about to start thinking again, his arms dropped helplessly due to the excessive attacks.

--Has he done excessive damage to my arms in just a few seconds? Is this guy named Feilong a monster?

"Inch punch!"

After breaking through Kaneda Suekichi's defense, Feilong immediately delivered a one-inch punch to Kaneda Suekichi's face, sending Kaneda Suekichi into a beautiful dream.

"boom!"

With the sonic boom of Feilong's inch punch, Kaneda Suekichi's figure immediately flew backwards.

Even with a whole bottle of painkillers, Kaneda Suekichi was still knocked to the ground by Feilong's inch punch, and even his entire skull was caved in.

"Huh~ I accidentally lost control of my strength again. It seems that my training is far from enough. I hope that I can make further progress in my martial arts in this [Kenwon Fatal Elimination Tournament]."

Feilong, who couldn't even be called a warm-up exercise and didn't break a drop of sweat, ignored Kaneda Suekichi who fell to the ground and stood there talking to himself.

"Just lie down obediently, Mr. Kaneda Suekichi."

Feilong continued to speak to Kaneda Suekichi, who was still struggling to get up even after falling to the ground:

"I admire your courage, but our competition is over!"

After hearing Feilong's words, Kaneda Suekichi's body finally lost its vitality like a kite with a broken string - he gave up, gave up his dignity, gave up everything he had as a fighter, and from now on, he was afraid that he would never be able to punch again.

Ken Oya, 59 years old, joined the Kengankai at the age of 27. In the following 32 years, he has been sending various fighters to participate in the competition. Regardless of region and age, Ken Oya has always only hired the stronger fighters.

And Feilong, who defeated Himuro Ryo with three moves and also defeated Kaneda Suekichi with three moves, was the strongest person he had ever seen in the [Kengan] competition in his lifetime. He had every reason to believe that the guy in front of him was even stronger than [Metado no Ya]!

There is an overwhelming power in this guy named Feilong! Just on this man! Let's take a chance!

The representative fighter of Yoshiikuniya Bookstore has been officially confirmed to be [Street Fighter] Feilong!

At the same time, in an unknown corner of the cruise ship, Katsumasa Hayami, the president of Toyo Electric Power Company, was giving orders to his private soldiers:

"Now! The time for revolution has come! From ancient times to the present, the Kengankai has maintained the status quo! There must be changes! It's your turn! Go and defeat the other fighters! Seize the place in the competition! Wake up! Katahara Destroy Hall! Your era has completely ended!"

After Hayami Katsumasa finished speaking, the private soldiers including Nikaidou Ren immediately took action.

The representative fighter of the White Night News is Ma Baoguo, a 69-year-old veteran and the head of Hunyuan Xingyiquan.

In 1974, he won the championship in his first free-fighting competition in Southeast Asia. In 1980, he defeated the Japanese heavy artilleryman Lei Long.

He founded the Hunyuan Xingyi School at the age of 45. In the 24 years since then, he has participated in more than 100 informal competitions and won all of them. I don’t know when it started, but Ma Baoguo has been called the "God of War"!

But now, the man known as the [God of War] had his nose broken and fell to the ground, dying.

"What a pity! It seems that your fighter can no longer fight. Your dream of becoming the [President of the Kengan Society] has come to an end!"

The man who defeated the "God of War"──Nikaidou Ren, was talking to the president of Byakuya Shimbun.

"Who are you? What is your purpose?!"
