I am the protagonist

This is truly a very distant concept for a young girl.

People in this era can live to be eighty years old without any problems.

But for Yuni, eighty years old is out of the question.

Her life was not very long; perhaps twenty years old was the end of her life.

She's not even twenty years old yet.

She was originally going to dedicate her life to illuminating the entire parallel world.

But now it seems she no longer needs to sacrifice herself.

Perhaps she knew she shouldn't have such thoughts, but she felt a slight sense of smug satisfaction after learning this.

The joy of knowing that you still have the right to live.

“…Wuwu…”

Ultimately, Yuni is just a young girl.

However, Tsuna was at a loss when faced with the crying girl, so he scratched his head and could only ask the two girls behind him for help.

Kyoko and Koharu both sighed, but they both came over.

"Yuni-chan, come over here."

Tsuna breathed a sigh of relief after Yuni was taken away by Kyoko and Koharu to be comforted.

"Yuni-chan still can't do it after all~"

"Don't apply your standards to other girls, after all, there are fundamental differences between the two of you."

"And your reaction when you first found out about that was probably similar, right?"

"...Well, it's about the same."

Bai Lan also has certain predictions about the future.

However, his method of prediction is different from that of Tsuna and Yuni. He discovered some special situations while spying on parallel worlds.

Unnatural anomalies have occurred in all the parallel worlds he rules over.

Bai Lan wouldn't have paid attention to this kind of anomaly in the past, but recently a lot has happened on his side, so he's been paying a little attention and that's how he discovered this problem.

There is no sympathy for Byakuran in the parallel world.

Even the collapse of this world would only bring Byakuran pleasure.

The eternal cage that bound him has been shattered. Isn't that something to be happy about?

However, this also means that the future no longer exists.

They can no longer even try to glimpse the future.

[Tsunayoshi must have seen that scene before he said that.]

"Okay, Byakuran, the game has begun."

"Hmm? Ah, Xiao Huan was the first one we encountered."

The two groups of people who had split up finally began to clash.

Did I bump into it first?

Yamamoto stopped in his tracks and saw a masked ninja blocking his path.

Suddenly, many vines inexplicably sprouted from the ground.

With a single stroke, the vines that had been clinging to him were completely severed.

"...Illusion?"

"It really feels very familiar."

Yamamoto had witnessed such an illusion before, in front of someone whose swordsmanship was equally excellent.

But things are different now than they were in the past.

Suddenly, some strange sounds appeared in my ears.

Yamamoto immediately swung his sword and cut it in half, then immediately left the spot.

"Bang!" *2

The severed object exploded with a loud bang.

【Phantom Sea Cow.】

[This monkey really is the Phantom Knight.]

Yamamoto only had one impression of someone capable of using illusions of this level.

"Ha~"

A slight smile appeared on Yamamoto's lips.

He glanced around and swung his katana horizontally.

Countless manatees were cut in half and fell to the ground, but this time there was no explosion.

"...You really have become stronger."

The Phantom Knight reverted to his original form, his face somewhat gloomy, and even a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

[If it were the previous Yamamoto Takeshi, he definitely wouldn't have been able to cut down all the illusion-enhanced sea bulls so easily.]

It's even more impossible to completely stop all the activities of the Phantom Sea Cows using Rain Flame.

In just two weeks, the thing that Phantom Knight had predicted came true.

I had a feeling this man's strength would improve again, but I didn't expect it to increase so quickly.

How exactly did they do it?

"If we don't get stronger, we won't be qualified to participate in this game."

Yamamoto knew best how strong the Phantom Knight was.

Two weeks ago, there was no bottom line in sight, but now Yamamoto has clearly seen the bottom line of the Phantom Knight.

He even realized that his bottom line far exceeded that of the Phantom Knight.

Compared to me, the Phantom Knight's strength has hardly changed at all since two weeks ago.

【How is this going? 】

Compared to his own increased strength, Yamamoto was even more puzzled as to why the Phantom Knight's strength had not increased at all.

Even if it's only two weeks, and even if my strength can't change drastically, it's still unacceptable if it doesn't improve at all.

"We didn't have a proper fight last time, so I won't let you off so easily this time."

Yamamoto's brows furrowed immediately.

【Phantom Knight...why are you in such a hurry?】

The Phantom Knight's strength lies in his calm and collected thinking.

Losing one's composure is a major taboo for a swordsman.

Didn't he realize it before it started?

Our strength is no longer as distant as it once was, and he is no longer an unattainable being for me.

Yamamoto noticed the impatience, even madness, in the eyes of the Phantom Knight, which puzzled him.

Yamamoto couldn't understand the Phantom Knight's impatience, but those in the audience gradually came to understand the reason for that impatience.

However, everyone was somewhat unable to understand why a swordsman would be so uncalm and even have such strong emotions.

Chapter 115 The Phantom Knight's Brain Has Gone Wrong

"Jealousy."

"Yes, Xiao Huan seems very jealous."

"...The Phantom Knight should be a swordsman, right? Has he become so narrow-minded just because he saw Yamamoto's strength improve?"

"Hmm~ Xiao Huan has always been very petty."

Bai Lan knew from the beginning that Xiao Huan was very loyal, but in comparison, he was also very petty. So petty that if he paid attention to others, it would make Xiao Huan feel extremely jealous.

To be honest, he was starting to feel that Xiao Huan was a problem.

“I gave Xiao Huan many opportunities before, but he was always unwilling to work under anyone, so I just handed him over to Xiao Zheng.”

Even Tsunayoshi felt sorry for Irie after hearing this.

"Because Irie's subordinates were all ragtag soldiers, and Irie himself was not a capable technician, plus Gamma's strength was not as good as Phantom Knight's, so he was just sent over there?"

"The reason Irie is still alive is because his skill level is not high."

"If he were to demonstrate any combat abilities, wouldn't he be targeted by the Phantom Knight?"

"Well, I think so."

Byakuran believed that if Kosei's abilities were more outstanding, Kogan would definitely set his sights on Kosei, just like Kogan is now eyeing Yamamoto Takeshi.

Two weeks ago, Yamamoto Takeshi's strength was inferior to Kogane's, but in just two weeks he has surpassed him.

Different qualifications make all the difference.

Xiao Huan's strength is only due to her past combat experience; her potential is still far from sufficient.

Of course, Bai Lan believes that Xiao Huan's worst quality is still her lack of magnanimity.

Xiao Zheng is also someone who doesn't have much direct combat ability, but he is very strong in strategy and mechanical skills, and he also has enough magnanimity to lead others.

Otherwise, Bai Lan wouldn't have assigned Xiao Huan to Xiao Zheng's command.

In fact, his actions at that time had already completely excluded Xiao Huan from his circle.

"So this time you're going to give up on him completely, right?"

Well, I guess so.

"After all, Xiao Huan has actually caused me quite a bit of trouble."

Bai Lan pointed to Xiao Huan on the screen with a troubled expression.

"This kind of thing has actually happened many times in secret."

"While I personally don't mind Xiao Huan going to play games with Wolf Poison and the others to improve her strength, I still really dislike the behavior of going looking for trouble without any real improvement in strength."

"That's really asking for death."

Tsunayoshi also dislikes people like that.

Gokudera may be impulsive at times, but his impulsiveness is a symbol of his loyalty.

At least Gokudera has a lot of magnanimity, and based on that, Tsunayoshi is willing to let Gokudera gradually improve his strength and change his personality.

However, even Byakuran surrendered to the personality of his subordinates, so it's hard for Tsunayoshi to imagine just how far the Phantom Knights have gone.

"Bai Lan, you should be more careful next time and not always turn people like this into your subordinates, it will cause a lot of trouble."

"...I didn't have that many thoughts back then."

Bai Lan simply sent over a helpless expression.

"After all, the Jesso family's situation wasn't very good, and I was in need of talent at the time, so I couldn't think too much about it."

Regarding Xiao Huan's matter, Bai Lan herself felt that she had already made a mistake.

Perhaps Xiao Huan is very obedient.

But Xiao Huan is also very jealous.

Of course, Byakuran doesn't deny this kind of jealousy. He remembers that Gokudera Hayato, one of Tsuna's subordinates, is also a very jealous person, but he can't help it because Gokudera has the ability to rise to the top, and he is also quite magnanimous.

The only thing that made Bai Lan feel at ease was that there weren't many people like Xiao Huan.

Moreover, if Xiao Huan hadn't been so loyal to him, he would have gotten rid of her long ago.

【How strange.】

Yamamoto felt increasingly strange, especially sensing that the Phantom Knight had unusual emotional fluctuations towards him, and even an unusual killing intent.
