Anime Crossover: My Part-Time Job as a Giant of Light While Studying Abroad in Chiba

Seeing that Xiao Lan's attention was clearly drawn to someone else, Mikado Anpei snorted coldly and retorted somewhat unhappily.

…………

Inside the venue, dozens of aerial photography drones have already taken off, while the roar of propellers can be heard from the broadcast helicopters outside.

"Hey everyone watching! I'm your favorite hardcore captain—Zobayan!!"

Inside the control room, a bald man wearing sunglasses was frantically outputting his commands to the camera.

"That surprise guest's opening was absolutely amazing! I felt like my blood was about to evaporate!!"

"Next, let's turn our attention back to the main battlefield and see those knights who are about to transform into the wind!"

……

Meanwhile, in a coffee shop in Chiba's old town.

Hibino Mirai also stopped what she was doing and looked up at the television screen hanging on the wall.

On the screen, the drone's camera lens is slowly sweeping across the departure area.

The 49 fully equipped riders took off their helmets and waved to the camera, while also displaying the sponsor's logo.

"That's great... Everyone is working hard for their dreams."

In the future, she rests her chin on her hand, a smile playing on her lips.

At this moment, the camera slowly cuts to the solo rider in the middle of the front row, driving a black Honda CB1300.

Just as the female rider was about to take off her helmet—

"future."

"what?"

Future turned her head in confusion and saw Hong Kai walking down the wooden stairs from the attic, his hair a mess.

"What's wrong, Kaisan? Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?"

Hong Kai stroked his chin, didn't answer, but glanced at the TV screen with some annoyance.

"This means... the match has already started?"

Upon hearing Hong Kai's words, Wei Lai quickly turned around as well.

The female driver on the screen had put her helmet back on, leaving only a cool heart gesture for the camera.

"Yeah, it's still in the opening act, and the show is about to officially start. What's up, Kaisan? Do you want to watch too?"

"The future is asking with a smile."

"...I'm not watching anymore."

Hong Kai frowned as he pushed open the glass door and looked up at the racetrack outside the window.

"I have a feeling... the weather is unbearably stuffy today, and there's an uncomfortable smell in the air."

He casually grabbed the cowboy hat hanging by the door and put it on his head.

"You stay here and watch the game, I'll go check out the area around here."

"Okay, Kaisan, be careful."

…………

"Ooo ...

On the broadcast screen, close-ups of various star players elicited a tsunami of gasps from the stands.

The live stream, which was broadcast globally, saw an explosion of traffic. Within seconds, the screen was filled with special effects of virtual gifts, completely obscuring the view.

“Very good…that’s it. I will personally push the glory of the Shinomiya family to its peak.”

Inside the private room, Shi Gong Yunying stared at the screen, his face filled with satisfaction and fervor.

However, at this climax, an unexpected change occurred.

"Fuck-"

A blinding snowflake pattern suddenly flashed across the live stream screen.

Not only the internal screens, but also the large screens at the venue emitted a piercing electrical sound, and large areas of mosaic obscured the drivers' faces.

The 30,000 audience members present immediately erupted in a chorus of bewildered "Huh?" sounds.

Shi Gong Yunying's expression changed drastically, and he quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie on the table.

"What's going on? I see the video is lagging."

"Master, head of the family... the power consumption here is too high!"

The panicked voice of the technical supervisor came from the other end of the communicator.

"The current electromagnetic spectrum has reached its limit! The signal simply can't be transmitted!"

"hateful……"

Shinomiya Un'yō turned to look at the large screen outside the window. The image was sometimes clear and sometimes choppy, as if someone was choking him.

No! This is my perfect start to prove myself to the family; I absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake now!

Yunying gritted his teeth and demanded sharply, "Listen, what's the current output power of the Chiba electromagnetic communication tower?"

"Based on the security advice previously sent by TPC... we have locked it at 70%."

"Increase it to 80%."

“But Master, TPC has warned that adding more air could trigger an attack on atmospheric life forms…”

"There are no 'buts'," Shinomiya Un'ei interrupted his subordinate sharply.

"As long as it's not maxed out, there shouldn't be any problems. If there's still lag, just increase the settings little by little until the screen is smooth."

"I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Upon hearing this instruction, Kaguya Shinomiya, who was standing to the side, frowned deeply.

"Second Brother Yunying, why not lower the resolution slightly to get a stable playback source? The bigger picture is more important."

"Shut up, Kaguya."

Shinomiya Un'taka gave her a cold look. "The Shinomiya family wants flawless dominance. Only 8K resolution is worthy of the Shinomiya conglomerate's heritage."

"Your cowardly mentality of seeking stability will never lead you to great things."

Kaguya took a deep breath and chose not to argue with this man who had been blinded by power.

She turned around and looked down at the drivers who were doing their final check-in.

But after staring at it for a while, Kaguya's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"strangeness……"

…………

Where is Hayasaka-san?

On the stands, Duan Zilian pointed at the motorcycles below with her finger, muttering to herself.

“47…48…49.” Duan Zilian’s eyes narrowed.

"Didn't the official website say there were 50? Sure enough, there's one missing."

"Where is she? What happened to her?"

Duan Zilian felt increasingly uneasy and looked up at the huge glass box in the center.

He noticed that Kaguya Shinomiya's expression was also rather unpleasant, and she was muttering something to herself.

Besides that, Duan Zilian's peripheral vision also swept across the sky.

The clouds there are drifting towards us, and their color seems much darker than the other clouds.

…………

"48...49..."

After Kaguya Shinomiya finished counting to the last time, her pupils contracted sharply, and she turned to look at Un'taka Shinomiya beside her.

Shinomiya Un'yō also noticed her face, staring at her with a half-smile.

"What's wrong, Kaguya? You look terrible."

"...Where's Hasaka? Why isn't she on the track?"

Kaguya turned her head, her voice chillingly cold.

"Oh? You mean... Hayasaka Ai?"

Shinomiya Un'yō feigned surprise, raising an eyebrow and looking down at the track as if deep in thought.

"Huh? It seems she's not here. Did she desert at the last minute? Or did something go wrong?"

Seeing Shinomiya Un'taka's smug face, Shinomiya Kaguya's expression turned ugly.

"What...what did you do to her?"

"I just wanted her to understand that once you wear a mask for a long time, you can't take it off."

Yunying sneered and continued looking in the direction of the race track.

Seeing Shinomiya Un'taka's arrogant and ugly demeanor, Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lip.

"……cut."

An uncontrollable rage seeped from her jewel-like eyes.

You wait.

Chapter 265 Unexpected Changes

"In just one short month, this planet has undergone too many unbelievable changes."

On the commentary stage, Di Yejin held the microphone in one hand, his long golden hair flying freely in the breeze.

"From ferocious demons descending from the sky to dazzling giants burning with life amidst the ruins."

"We mortals are like being caught between gods and demons, living a precarious and ambiguous life."

Suddenly, Di Yejin swung his arm violently, as if to sweep away the unseen gloom in the sky.

"So today! We will stand here, with the roar of engines and our blood, to grind away the fear and resentment that are pressing down in our hearts!!!"

"Ooo ...

The audience's emotions were completely ignited by this sentence, and the roar almost lifted the stadium.

"Rebuilding the Grand Prix, as the name suggests, means that the driver who wins the race will receive the grand prize, and Chiba City will also be rebuilt!"

"But this is not just about the prize money, but also about proving to this starry sky that humanity has not lost the strength to run!"

Di Yejin pointed one finger to the sky, a wild and arrogant smile playing on his lips.

"I have a strong feeling that a true hero will emerge in this match!"

"Among these fifty drivers beneath my feet, who will be the hero?!"

…………

For some reason, even though Di Ye Jin was howling at the sky, Duan Zi Lian always felt like he was watching her, making her feel uneasy.

"Why is this guy looking at me like that?"

Just as Duan Zilian was having some doubts, he suddenly felt a warm sensation on his left wrist.

"...?!"

Duan Zilian instantly raised her arm, and the crystal on her bracelet was already emitting faint light.

What's going on?! A monster is appearing?! And it's nearby?!

Duan Zilian broke out in a cold sweat and looked around.

This is a racetrack that can hold tens of thousands of people. If a monster were to descend here, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Duan Jun, what's wrong?"
