I am the protagonist

"Oh!"

Dino, who was trying to react, could already see the ceiling of the training room.

【Good weight! 】

When Dino forcibly turned around in mid-air, Tsuna was no longer visible.

【! ? 】

【right!】

"Oh!"

The judgment was correct, but it still couldn't stop the sudden attack.

The impact on the head was so severe that it caused the person to instinctively close their eyes.

But in that instant, Dino felt his head being grabbed, and then his entire consciousness was enveloped in darkness.

"Was it too harsh?"

I placed my fingers on Dino's neck, and yes, I could still feel his heartbeat.

My breathing has become very weak, but I can still breathe.

Tsuna controlled his strength to ensure it wouldn't be life-threatening, but it definitely hurt a lot. A punch to the face and chin should hurt for about three days.

"!"

A whip suddenly appeared, startling Tsuna.

"Ha ha……"

Dino, with blood streaming down his forehead, jumped up from the ground.

"...This is absolutely terrible."

[If I hadn't used the Deathly Flame to protect my head at the last moment, I would have been knocked unconscious.]

Now Dino dared not underestimate Tsuna's strength.

In the last two or three seconds, he was almost knocked unconscious by Tsuna. Under such circumstances, Dino did not think Tsuna was weak.

【powerful! 】

[Absolutely terrifyingly strong!]

Chapter 104 The gap in strength is huge

"Aren't you going to pretend anymore?"

Did you figure it out?

Did you approach because you noticed?

Regardless of the reason, Dino's vigilance had reached its peak at this moment.

[Tsuna's high-speed movement was likely achieved using the mobility of the Sky Flame.]

But why isn't Tsuna wearing the X-glove?

Even though Tsuna is very fast, Dino can still see that Tsuna's hands are not wearing anything.

But why...?

A figure appeared before him in an instant.

Before he could even see clearly, he could already feel the biting wind blowing on his face.

Dino immediately held the whip in front of his face.

The whip's softness blocked the punch, but the excessive force also sent him flying.

Why is Tsuna able to move at high speed without using the flame propulsion of his gloves?

The moment Dino looked up, he saw a foot kicking towards his stomach.

Left with no other choice, he could only place the whip in front of him once again.

But this time the impact was the same as before.

The previous one was a direct impact, but this time it's a shockwave.

Although it didn't break through the whip's defense immediately, it did numb his hands instantly.

"Oh!"

It kicked him squarely in the stomach.

This kick wasn't very heavy, but it's the lighter the attack, the more worrying it is.

Dino felt a sudden weakness throughout his body, and he was unable to even unleash his defensive Death Flame.

【Oops! 】

What followed was not an attack with an astonishing weight, but an attack with an astonishing density.

【it's over. 】

Reborn, who was standing nearby, saw this and knew that Dino had lost.

[To be so careless under those circumstances, this guy really hasn't improved at all in the last ten years.]

[Even though Tsuna has slowed down, he's still fighting so aggressively. Does he really think that just because he's stronger, he can withstand any attack?]

Reborn had no recollection of ever teaching this idiot how to face a fight.

I remember he once said that many times he was teaching that idiot what it meant to fight against a stronger opponent.

It's just that this idiot was so careless from the very beginning.

He was also misled by the stronger Junko, giving Junko an opportunity to take advantage of him.

The dust has settled.

The person standing in the smoke and dust is Tsunayoshi, while the person lying on the ground unconscious is Dino.

The difference in strength can be clearly seen from this scene.

"Reborn, what should he do?"

"Let him lie here."

Tsuna shrugged and followed Reborn out of the training room.

Chrome then carried the little lion to the Boss's side.

She never doubted that the Boss would win.

As for the person lying on the ground, Chrome wasn't too worried. Judging from the injuries, it was safe to say that they weren't very serious. Maybe he would be fine after lying on the ground and sleeping for a while.

Nearly half an hour later, Dino finally managed to get up from the ground, albeit shakily.

"Cough cough..."

"Didn't they even think to take me to the infirmary?"

When Dino woke up and saw that he was still lying on the ground, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"But Tsuna has really become incredibly strong."

"I didn't even have time to react before Tsuna defeated me."

His junior brother was still suffering from amnesia, and the bitterness on Dino's face deepened at the thought.

Reborn will probably teach me a lesson later.

[Leaving me here is probably a prelude to teaching me a lesson.]

Fádino's face turned very ugly at the thought of Reborn's educational methods.

It's important to know that Reborn was a combination of theorist and practitioner. After teaching you theoretical knowledge, he would force you to accept that knowledge through ruthless practical action, albeit in a very forceful way.

He himself was forced to the limit before he transformed and grew.

If there is no transformation and growth...

I guess he's already dead.

Another chill ran through my body.

That's why Dino still holds Reborn in awe.

Well, the main reason is that I was so badly beaten back then that I didn't want to get beaten up again.

"Tsuna's condition just now was really strange."

After the sparring session ended, Dino began to reflect on what had just happened.

Why can't you move at high speed by using the gloves?

[And the Vongola Ring that Tsuna is wearing... I didn't sense any flame pressure at all.]

Once the death flame on the ring is ignited, people will generally feel the presence of flame pressure.

The Death Flame cannot be used more efficiently without the power of the ring.

[But the power Tsuna just now was clearly not the Dying Will Flame he forced out with the Dying Will Pill ten years ago; it was power that Tsuna truly controlled.]

[Could it be that Tsuna has already mastered the use of the Dying Will Flame, and can even use it without relying on the ring's power?]

The situation just now really seemed like that answer.

But Dino couldn't accept this.

[...that's probably impossible.]

[It's a fact known to everyone in this era who uses the Dying Will Flame: without the aid of a ring to ignite it, it's impossible to engage in high-intensity combat.]

The death flames ignited by one's own power cannot compare to those of someone wearing the ring.

This is common sense for everyone in this era.

But the problem has come full circle again.

[If it's something impossible, then why is Tsuna able to do it?]

Or is this just my imagination?

[Actually, Tsuna did use the power of the ring, but I didn't notice?]

Perhaps this is the right answer.

But Dino's sixth sense still told him that the answer was wrong.

"Cough cough..."

The pain in his body triggered Dino's involuntary coughing.

The pain throughout his body forced him to temporarily abandon thinking.

"...Couldn't you just take me to the infirmary?"
