In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

"I will listen to you. After all, you are the Leader."

"Isn't that right?"

Asagiri shrugged and said lightly.

"A team can only have one leader, only one person with the final say. Kaguya Shinomiya is excellent in all aspects, but if she and I differ in judgment during a dungeon, given her personality and pride, she wouldn't be willing to unconditionally follow my plans like you two would. So, for now, I won't consider inviting her to be a teammate. Chika Fujiwara and Kaguya Shinomiya are very good friends, so I won't invite her to be a teammate for now."

Yuuki Asuna nodded obediently and responded.

"Yeah, that's right, and if you count Kato Megumi, there are already four of us."

"OK, we're finally done with business~"

While Iwanaga Kotoko was cheering, she leaned towards Asagiri's arm. Seeing this, Yuuki Asuna hurriedly stopped her.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"Hmm? Of course I'm going to cuddle with my lovely boyfriend~"

Iwanaga Kotoko replied seriously, "Don't forget, the reason I asked my family to donate to Shuchiin was because I wanted to be with Asagiri all the time. If that's the case, then I have to act like we're in love at school, hugging him and kissing him from time to time. That's how it's supposed to be real~"

Yuuki Asuna sighed slightly, held her forehead and said helplessly.

"That's true, but I feel like you're taking advantage of him..."

Asagiri looked at Iwanaga Kotoko, who was clinging to her arm and rubbing against her like a kitten, and said bluntly.

"You should put aside your romantic thoughts and think about what to do with your prosthetic limb. If it breaks, you'll have to hop around on one leg, just like the pig in Pokémon. If your prosthetic limb breaks in a dungeon, it'll be troublesome."

Iwanaga Kotoko said with a playful smile: "Leader, you can carry me. You have so much physical strength anyway~"

"You're dreaming. I can only fire you out like a human cannon."

Asagiri replied first, then added.

"If that doesn't work, wait until you encounter a cyberpunk-style dungeon and I'll make you a mechanical prosthetic limb that's not easily damaged, and also a prosthetic eye that can shoot lasers. Don't pretend to be some weird god of wisdom, just be weak and frail, and ascend mechanically. From now on, half of your power will be psychic, and the other will be high-tech mechanical crystallization. You'll be transformed into a psychic version of Astro Boy. No need to play with curses. If you encounter evil spirits, just activate your laser eyes and that's it."

"You can remain calm in the face of such an adorable girl like me. You are indeed worthy of being like that."

Hearing Iwanaga Kotoko's self-boasting words, Yuuki Asuna suppressed the urge to complain and sighed slightly.

"Then let's wait until Sunday, the day for dungeon registration, to go find Kato Megumi. According to Asagiri's theory, the next time we enter the dungeon, the game will still be in the first stage, with no difficulty increase. I wonder if there will be any other changes after a month passes and the game enters the second stage, besides the overall difficulty increase."

"There are definitely changes."

Kotoko Iwanaga placed her cane horizontally on her knees, resumed her proper sitting posture like a lady from a noble family, and then spoke.

"I sent the monsters to look inside the Metropolitan Police Department. After gathering some information, they confirmed two things."

"First, the bodies of players who die in a dungeon will not return to the real world."

"Secondly, we don't know exactly how many people have been chosen to become players. It's definitely a significant number, as the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has recently received dozens of reports of missing persons. Of course, these missing individuals aren't necessarily all players, but there are definitely some among them."

"It's foreseeable that as the game progresses, more and more players will die, which means more and more people will go missing in the real world. Furthermore, the rules of the app don't restrict players from using their powers in the real world or from telling others about the app. In other words, even if we wanted to conceal the existence of the game, it would be impossible. After all, without any restrictions, as long as someone from the Metropolitan Police Department or the Prosecutors' Office is selected as a 'player', the truth will come to light."

When Iwanaga Kotoko said this, Asagiri spoke in a calm tone.

"The most interesting point is the hidden rule regarding the transfer of 'player' identities. Only after a 'player' dies can ordinary people observe the eye icon app on the other player's phone and, by continuously clicking on the app icon, become the new player."

When Yuuki Asuna and Iwanaga Kotoko heard this, they were both confused.

“Why is this the most interesting point?”

"Of course it's interesting."

Asagiri spoke slowly with a smile on her face.

"There are clearly no PVP dungeons. It seems the main purpose of this game is for players to work together to survive, but there are no restrictions on players' behavior in the real world. There's even a hidden rule that requires the original player to die before ordinary people can become players. Perhaps the real world is just a PVP dungeon for this game."

.............

That afternoon, in the gymnasium of the private Shuchiin Academy, a burly and strong male teacher wearing a judo uniform glanced at the students in Class A and spoke in a deep voice.

"I've already covered the basics. Now let's split up and practice. By the way, has anyone had any experience with judo before? I want to try to keep the strength of both teams balanced."

"I."

Hearing the question from the physical education teacher, Kaguya Shinomiya raised her hand and spoke softly with a gentle expression.

"Teacher, I'm a second-degree belt in judo."

"Second Dan... Have any girls ever tried judo?"

Seeing that no other students raised their hands except Shinomiya Kaguya, the physical education teacher couldn't help but look embarrassed and wondered what to do.

Second degree judo, also known as judo black belt, although not very powerful, is beyond the beginner stage and can be considered as serious practice.

But... there is no other girl who has practiced judo and can compete with Kaguya Shinomiya. Judo is a sport that involves physical contact, so it is impossible to assign a boy to Kaguya Shinomiya.

"Hey~ Teacher, I'll be in a group with Shinomiya~"

Hearing this sudden voice, the physical education teacher searched the crowd for a long time before he saw Iwanaga Kotoko, who looked particularly slender and petite compared to the other students in Class A, like a doll. He couldn't help but be stunned and hesitated.

"You're Iwanaga-san, right? Iwanaga-san, would you like to be paired with Shinomiya-san? But this..."

"Don't worry, teacher."

Shinomiya Kaguya tucked her long black hair and said lightly.

"I'll be careful not to hurt Iwanaga-san."

"Oh well."

Shinomiya Kaguya is not the type who is very competitive in everything. Sometimes, she will even deliberately let others win. After all, in her opinion, deliberately losing is just a way of dealing with things in order to avoid being too dazzling and alienated by people around her.

Of course, the only exception is learning.

"Utsunomiya-san."

At this moment, a boy who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, very strong and with broad shoulders, slowly walked in front of Asagiri.

"Would you please spar with me?"

"You want to spar with me?"

Facing the strong boy's request, Asagiri just smiled.

"I've never practiced judo, so I don't know anything about it."

The sturdy boy waved his hand and spoke in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I will show mercy and try not to hurt you..."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Before the boy could finish, Asagiri shook his head, looked directly into his face, and interrupted him in a calm tone.

"What I mean is, since I haven't practiced judo, I can't control my strength very well. If you get hurt, don't blame me. Are you going easy on me?"

"As the rumors say, you're a very arrogant person, but..."

When the sturdy boy said this, he suddenly changed the subject and spoke seriously.

"If I win, please consider joining our judo club, Utsunomiya-san!"

Upon hearing this, Asagiri couldn't help but ask back.

"Are you trying to be too cunning here? The point is, your map of Yan State is a little too short, isn't it? I've already said that I have no interest in joining any club."

"Well, I heard that you... no, you have no intention of joining any sports clubs, but..."

The sturdy boy took a deep breath and looked serious.

"I hope that through my actions, you will feel the charm of judo, the boiling passion, the throbbing of youth, and the pursuit of supreme skills..."

"I don't understand. What the hell are you talking about? I play with a katana."

Asagiri didn't really want to continue listening to the boy's remarks about youth and passion, so she just spoke softly in a calm tone.

"Then let's get started right away."

"it is good."

The sturdy boy took a few steps back, distanced himself from Asagiri, took a few deep breaths, then bowed and said with a serious expression.

"Utsunomiya-san, I will do my best."

Asagiri nodded nonchalantly and just stood there casually.

"Row."

In order to prevent students from getting injured, thick protective mats have already been laid on the wooden floor of the gymnasium.

After receiving Asagiri's response, the sturdy boy bent down slightly. His body, which was considered very burly for a high school student, stretched out his hands like a brown bear and approached tentatively.

At this moment, the rest of the students in Class A, including Kaguya Shinomiya and Kotoko Iwanaga, stopped what they were doing, and everyone was watching the battle that was about to begin.

"ha!!!"

The sturdy boy roared, quickened his pace, and quickly came in front of Asagiri. Then he bent down even lower, stretched out his hands like pliers, and firmly grasped Asagiri's right arm.

"It's over..."

Seeing this scene, Kaguya Shinomiya, who was quite proficient in judo techniques, muttered to herself.

This move is the starting position for an over-the-shoulder throw. By grabbing the opponent's arm and exerting force with one's waist and hips, if one can find the most suitable angle, even a thin person who is not very strong can use this move to throw an opponent who is larger and stronger than oneself to the ground.

Moreover, although this move is simple, its lethality cannot be underestimated. If someone really knows how to exert force and uses this move on solid ground, it is normal to cause the opponent to fall and be seriously injured or even kill him on the spot.

Shinomiya Kaguya sighed slightly and thought to herself that as expected, Asagiri did not lie.

The opponent really knows nothing about judo, otherwise, how could he let his opponent grab his arm so easily and complete the starting posture of the over-the-shoulder throw?

The game should be over here...

"Ok?"

Just as Kaguya Shinomiya was thinking this, she saw the sturdy boy twist his body and use a very standard over-the-shoulder throw posture to try to swing Asagiri directly to the ground.

But even though his neck was bulging with veins, his cheeks were flushed, and he was using all his strength, Asagiri simply lowered his body slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and placed one hand on the sturdy boy's lower back, resisting the other's strength with a nonchalant look.

"Alright, let's end this passionate battle of youth."

Asagiri first said this with a smile, and then he twisted his waist and hips and threw the muscular boy directly onto the judo mat.

"how come..."

The sturdy boy was still unable to react until he was thrown to the ground. The students around who were watching the fight found it a little unbelievable.

Only Iwanaga Kotoko looked as if it was not unexpected. She even couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips because the person around her was amazed at was Asagiri.

The sturdy boy was indeed a master who had practiced judo seriously, and the shoulder throw technique he used was of impeccable standard.

only......

The strength gap that can be made up by skills is ultimately limited. Asagiri's strength lead over the sturdy boy has reached a point where even using skills cannot make up for it.

061 A Completely Different Winner

"This guy..."

Listening to the exclamations of the classmates around her and looking at Asagiri standing there, an idea suddenly came to Shinomiya Kaguya's mind.

"Possessing strength, motor skills, and agility far beyond the capabilities of a normal high school student... Could it be that... he's also a player?"

But as soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Kaguya Shinomiya.

How can it be?

If this Utsunomiya-san is really a gamer, he should have kept a low profile. Why would he make such eye-catching remarks on the first day of school, and go to the school gym to exercise in the afternoon, openly showing off his physical fitness that far exceeds the level of a normal high school student in front of so many people?

After learning the results of the entrance examination, Shinomiya Kaguya asked her personal maid Hayasaka Ai to investigate Asagiri's junior high school resume.

Tennis, basketball, badminton, three sports, he won the championship of the junior high school national competition for two consecutive years, and he also had an amazing record of getting into a conflict with five delinquent students outside the school and beating them all into the hospital.
