I am the protagonist

"Ah."

Chrome did not refuse to accept the skills taught by the Boss.

"Actually, it's just some very simple techniques, just simple applications of the Death Flame."

Tsuna first gave Chrome a demonstration.

"First, you need to condense the death flame on your feet. Once you have enough death flame on your feet, take a step out as if you were walking normally."

In an instant, Tsunayoshi appeared on the open ground thirty meters away.

"It can cross a certain distance in just a moment."

In the blink of an eye, Tsunayoshi was back in the same spot.

"Because this is something that can be done simply by using the Death Flame. It doesn't consume much Death Flame, but it can increase the speed to an astonishing level. After you become proficient, you can even use this technique to create a lot of physical afterimages."

Tsuna's afterimage appeared throughout the entire training room.

"Such a technique requires a very high degree of precision in the application of Dying Will Flame, which Chrome probably can't do yet. However, if Chrome trains properly, he should be able to achieve this level."

"...Tsuna, this isn't a simple technique."

From a professional perspective, this technique is by no means simple, and Reborn recognized its value at a glance.

Although this technique uses the flames of death to move, it differs from using the external acceleration of the flames of death. Instead, it uses the explosive power of the flames of death to achieve high-speed movement with one's own body.

[Concentrating the flames of death energy in one's feet and then unleashing the power to achieve high-speed movement, even traversing short distances, is a technique used in actual combat.]

[Tsuna actually researched and developed this kind of technique.]

Reborn knew that this technique was just a simple application of the Dying Will Flame, as Tsuna had said, but mastering it was anything but simple.

Developing such a skill may not be very difficult, but how many people can actually do it?

There has been no one who has developed this skill in at least the last decade.

"Boss, is this just a simple application of the Death Flame?"

Chrome doesn't see this as a simple application of Dying Will Flame at all.

"It's a very simple application; it's just a technique of condensing the death flames in a certain part of the body and then unleashing them."

Tsuna didn't think it was a very profound technique. Anyone with a little knowledge of Eastern magic would know that the way this power was used was actually based on the method of shrinking the earth to an inch, and it was a version of the Dying Will Flame.

Chapter Fifty: Bai Lan's Guesses

"Oh my god~ I didn't expect Gamma to be killed."

Bai Lan looked at her subordinate's report and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

Are there any members of the Vongola's current fighting force capable of killing Gamma?

At that moment, Hibari Kyoya's image suddenly appeared in Byakuran's mind.

【is it him? 】

[If it were him, I wouldn't be surprised that Gamma died there.]

"The Vongola side really went all out, but since they've already killed him, there's nothing we can do but spread the news of Gamma's death to all the units."

"Yes."

The subordinate left the office quickly.

"Shouldn't people from ten years ago have also arrived in this era?"

Byakuran was quite interested in the Vongola X family from ten years ago, since the Vongola Ring he wanted was in their hands.

"Ah... I originally wanted to go to the island nation to see Sawada Tsunayoshi who came to this era, but if Sawada Tsunayoshi in that era is too impulsive, I'll be in trouble."

There's really nothing that Sawada Tsunayoshi and Byakuran can do about this era.

Although I tried many times to stop them from destroying the Vongola Rings, the Vongola Rings were always destroyed in the end.

Byakuran didn't want to delve into the reasons behind it. In every parallel world, more or less, things would happen that were beyond his expectations. Perhaps in this world, he was destined to meet the Vongola X family from ten years ago, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to obtain the Vongola Ring.

That's why Byakuran didn't want to further upset Sawada Tsunayoshi's fragile heart this time, otherwise he would be the one crying.

"Let's give them more time to play games with Xiao Zheng."

Bai Lan is actually very kind to his friends, even if those friends betrayed him.

"Xiao Zheng could have gotten everything he wanted if he had just agreed with my ideas, but he insisted on using this method."

“...You did something wrong, Zheng.”

But Bai Lan knew that even if he said these words to Xiao Zheng, it would be the same thing. He was familiar with Xiao Zheng's personality, and Xiao Zheng would not change his mind and agree with him because of a few words.

It was only at this moment that Bai Lan gradually realized how empty the world was.

Every game was just a stage for him; no one could sit opposite him, and no one understood his thoughts.

Even now, Byakuran himself is gradually realizing that some of his past decisions have trapped him in an endless cycle of imprisonment, but no one can save him from this cage, leaving him to continue to slowly crumble within it.

"So, this time, can you stay with me until the very end of the game?"

"Sawada Tsunayoshi".

"Knock knock knock!"

The knocking on the door made Bai Lan's serious expression turn back into her previous smiling one.

"Excuse me, Lady Byakuran."

The White Spell members, dressed in white uniforms, walked into the office.

"Lord Bailan, this is today's report."

"...Ah, you don't really need to bring these things over every day."

Bai Lan glanced at the man in front of her with a slight smile.

"It's enough to leave these tasks to Xiao Zheng. I personally don't like reading these reports."

"Lord Byakuran, Lord Irie should have arrived in Japan by now."

"Really? Zheng is really serious."

Bai Lan looked at the man in front of her with great interest.

"Heh~ Have you gotten any useful information yet?"

"Bai, Lady Bailan, what do you mean by this?"

Bai Lan wore a helpless smile.

"Well, although I don't mind continuing to play this game with you, your friend has already caused a huge mess, so I don't want to continue playing this game."

"Lord Bailan, I still don't understand."

“Guydgreco, 17 years old, Italian, is a major criminal who has murdered 15 people and also escaped from prison a year ago.”

“Milfiore’s intelligence agency is not just for show. Your information has actually been on my desk for a long time.”

"Or perhaps you'd like to put it another way: Rokudo Mukuro, the Mist Guardian of the Vongola."

"Lord Bailan..."

As if frightened by these words, the man's horrified expression slowly turned into a chilling sneer.

"When did you see through it?"

"A long time ago, I think."

Bai Lan didn't mind continuing to chat with the man in front of her.

"Your disguise is quite good, and you are much more interesting than I imagined, so I played with you a little longer."

"Oh~ Does acting according to one's own interests come at the cost of a guardian's life?"

"Ah, you mean Gloucesteria? It's a real shame he's much weaker than I thought. Since he's no longer useful, I'll just give him to the Vongola."

The man's sneer began to fade.

[...So that's how it is.]

This man already knew about this, but he completely ignored my actions and instead, intentionally or unintentionally, condoned this behavior.

Is this action beneficial to him?

The man simply couldn't understand the meaning of condoning the enemy to kill his own guardian, but he already deeply felt that Byakuran Jeso was not easy to deal with.

"Well, I'm not really that interested in you since you don't have the Vongola Ring."

"Besides, you're not capable of playing games with me anyway. If you continue to be quiet, I can pretend you don't exist."

"It's just a pity that I want to pretend you don't exist, but your friends have already started to make their move."

The man frowned. He hadn't gathered much more intelligence lately, and he was also a little confused about what White Gesso was saying.

"Do not understand?"

Bai Lan found a hint of interest in that incomprehensible face.

"The remaining Vongola forces hidden in the island nation of Namimori have begun to move, and just four days ago, they killed the captain of the Dark Spell Third Division, Gamma of Lightning."

"Based on my guess, it was Hibari Kyoya who did it."

"However, when I had this guess, I didn't find many signs of a battle at the scene. What I could tell was that Gamma was killed by someone stronger in one blow."

"Hibari Kyoya is very strong, but he is not yet at the level of instantly killing Gamma."

"So my judgment is based on the members of Vongola X who came ten years ago."

A look of astonishment gradually appeared on the man's face.

Could it be Sawada Tsunayoshi from ten years ago?

Will that guy actually do it?

"Oh, it seems you've already guessed it. My guess is that Tsunayoshi made his move ten years ago, killing my guardian with extraordinary means and strength."

But at this moment, Bai Lan's face was beaming with an incomparably bright smile.

Chapter 51 Rokudo Mukuro's Crisis

"I don't know what Tsunayoshi was like ten years ago, but I know that he is definitely the one who killed Gamma this time."

Although Byakuran had suspected that Hibari Kyoya might have done it, he dismissed the idea after considering the details.

"Even if Gamma is weak, he shouldn't be able to be killed so easily in such a short time, and he could even leave only a few traces of the battle."

"Perhaps he is now at the same level as me."

Bai Lan's excitement became increasingly apparent as she spoke.

It's as if he uses games to define this chaotic world. To him, the world is a giant game, and as a player, he is lonely and bored.

Even if there are other participants in this large-scale game, can those other participants really compete with him?

If there were other contestants who could challenge him, Byakuran would have already escaped this endless, boring game.

This man... really thinks that way.

Rokudo Mukuro had been observing Byakuran's emotional changes, but apart from his excitement, he could not see any other emotional changes. Therefore, at this moment, Rokudo Mukuro was convinced that Byakuran was not joking.

Did something happen to Sawada Tsunayoshi ten years ago?

[If one had just arrived in this era from ten years ago, the strength of that era would be insufficient to adapt to the combat of this era.]

Rokudo Mukuro has many questions in his mind right now.

"I'm not that interested in you right now."

Bai Lan has now lost interest in the man in front of her.

"But you are indeed a problem, so why don't we just get rid of you here?"

Having lost interest in the man before her, Bai Lan was ready to dismiss him completely.

Wasn't that your initial thought?

Rokudo Mukuro chuckled, but his mood grew heavier and heavier.

"Oh, so you figured it out."

The flame on the ring was suddenly ignited, and Bai Lan's smile took on a cold tinge.
