Chapter 41 The Disappointing Hero Doesn't Hesitate to Cheat
I left the house after saying "I'll go talk to you dad for a bit" to Misa-chan.
If I told her I was going to do a judo match, she would worry and try to stop me. I could see that clearly.
To Misa-chan, I'm still "the Tadayuki-kun who is bad at sports".
On the way, I stopped by a stationery store and arrived at the Yoshino residence with Joichiro-shi.
I was wondering what kind of face I would make when I met Takashi, who seemed to be staying here, but the dojo was next to the mansion, so I went there directly.
In the changing room that was attached, I borrowed Joichiro-shi's judogi and changed.
I was wary of the old man smell, but it was well washed.
Before I tied the belt that was handed to me, I said one thing.
"Ah, can I also wear this black belt?"
"Of course not! Only those who passed the promotion exam can wear a black belt, don't you know that?"
I know.
That annoys you, doesn't it?
I don't skimp on those little irritating points.
After changing clothes, I'll jot down the rules and conditions as promised.
I stopped by a stationery store on the way here and got everything I needed.
"This kind of thing works for you?"
"Oh, whatever. It's just a farce. Let's get it over with."
"Well, you know, it adds to the atmosphere when you write this kind of thing."
"Ridiculous."
"Well, well, then let's go ahead and sign here... It's okay to use a thumbprint, right?"
While signing, Joichiro-shi glanced at the rules.
Hehehe, I understand, your current state of mind.
You're going to toss me around a few times haphazardly, and then finish me off with a decisive move, right?
"Is this fine?"
"Yes, well then, I'll write mine too!"
I signed too, and faced him in the middle of the dojo.
"Come on, hurry up"
"I just want to make sure, you promise that I won't lose unless it's by the condition we agreed on, right?"
"Stop nagging, I said that's fine! Just come on!"
"Huh? Are you scared of a newbie? Come here, please"
I waved my hand like I was inviting him over.
He got angry at my cheap taunt.
"This brattttt! What's with your attitude, huh?"
He came at me with both hands.
He was pretty fast for his age.
But for me, who had the skill [Eagle Eye], it was too slow and boring.
Now, Yoshino Joichiro, I'll show you.
My──"Otherworldly CQC"!
I got some skills in the other world, and I was excited.
Every otaku dreamed of it... "Special Moves".
I could do them with my skills.
Finally, it settled into a battle style of mindlessly swinging the sword at a ridiculously fast pace, lacking any trace of excitement. But until then, I went through various trials and errors.
Since childhood, I admired characters that appeared in manga and games. I was obsessed with reproducing their charming special moves.
And this is the technique I practiced first after acquiring the [Body Enhancement] skill. Impossible for ordinary humans, but a technique I had long admired. Starting with goblins, then orcs and ogres, and finally experimenting with thieves, I honed and reproduced the technique – my secret technique!
Take this, Yoshino Joichiro-shi!
The moment Joichiro-shi grabbed my collar, I shouted while dropping my hips.
"Shin!"
With the shout, I delivered an uppercut-like blow to the opponent's solar plexus, the vital point in the abdomen, with my left fist.
"Gah!"
Probably an unexpected attack. With a scream, Joichiro-shi's body bent into a 'く' shape due to the impact. Lowering my aim to his dropped jaw, I unleashed another uppercut, this time with my right fist.
This uppercut stops at the moment of impact, only to follow with the skill [Thunder Strike]. Well, it's more like holding back and landing it on the chin.
When I swing my right fist with all my might, most opponents have their jaws shattered at that moment, often ending up with a damaged cervical spine and death.
Joichiro-sho, whose consciousness was reaped by the thunder strike, rolled his eyes casually. Is it over here? No, furthermore, it's a follow-up attack!
"Sho-o-ryu-u-u⋯⋯"
Continuing with the [Leap] skill, I lift the opponent into the air with my body-enhanced right fist, jumping up and attacking with elbows and knees!
"Kee-e-e-e-en!"
Joichiro-shi dances about three meters in the air, making a sound as he falls to the ground.
K.O.!
This is indeed my favorite character move in all games. The iconic move of Ryu, the protagonist of the Street Fighter series, the pioneer of the "fighting game" genre in the country, perfected after long training....
"The 'Shin Shoryuken'!"
Hehehe, it's completely decided. By the way, the pronunciation is aligned with the English version.
Shoryuken is not flat but more like "Shouheihei" if explained for those who understand.
Observing the fainted Joichiro-chi completely. Well, it's truly Master Ryu's special move. He seems to be on the verge of death; if left alone, he will probably die.
Well, it would be troublesome if he died, so I took a slightly less effective healing potion [Low-level Potion] from the [Item Box] and sprinkled it on him.
Since it has an effect on paralysis, this should be enough. It would feel strange if he recovered completely with no damage.
Joichiro-shi wakes up and staggers to his feet. Oh, quite tough.
"Oh, what am I, uh, doing?"
Maybe because of the damage? It seems a bit difficult for him to speak.
"Eh? Did something strange happen?"
"In the judo, uh, match, you said something... right?"
"That's right."
"But the strikes were... completely... fouls."
"Huh? I understand that even without you telling me. Are you making fun of me?"
"If that's the case..."
Joichiro-shi, who seemed about to voice his dissatisfaction again, I said with a slight overlap.
"Did I not emphasize before we started? The condition is simple – either I take the lead or you surrender or faint. There's no rule like 'lose if you break the rules.' Are you kidding me?"
In response to my harsh words, Joichiro-shi protested with a shocked expression.
"You don't need to state the obvious every time..."
"What? Could you please stop suddenly changing the rules? I confirmed it properly, didn't I? It's until I take the lead! It's so lame to say 'that's a bit too much' when you're about to lose, isn't it? Where did the pride of the third-place champion go? Even if you let your guard down, it's too pathetic to grow by taking hits from an amateur, isn't it? 'I'm a judo player, so I'll lose to an amateur if I get punched.' Isn't that embarrassing? Apologize and bow to the other top-ranking players in the All Japan Championship. You disgrace, you coooowaaaard!"
Hello, we have a new project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and asks them to join the war. But what does the MC say? They refuse. Is it because their love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past or are they simply fed up? And are the MC will join later?
