From "Chasing Souls in the Underworld", Kamikawa Hikaru has learned that Touma's brain has suffered permanent physical damage, not simply caused by magic. Regarding the death of brain memory tissue cells, even the level claims to be able to save a dying person from death.

Neither can the doctor who was pulled back from the River Styx.

Hikaru Kamikawa accepted this reality, but he still felt extremely regretful. It would have been nice if he had paid more attention to those feathers after the "Dragon King's Sigh" was interrupted. With his own ability, it was easy to transfer those magics.

"But it's useless to regret. Even if you take regret medicine, it won't change anything." Kamikawa Hikaru sighed. At this moment, he was walking on the road, just moving forward mechanically, not knowing what to do now.

As I walked through the electronics store next to the road, the news was broadcast on the TV on the display stand. "Last night, due to an unknown laser attack, the [Treemap Designer] in space orbit was shot down. Academy City began to negotiate with various countries to carry out

Recycling of debris.”

After listening to the news, Kamikawa Hikaru couldn't help but think of the two "Dragon King's Sighs" launched into the sky last night.

‘No way, what a coincidence? The probability of hitting it is almost slim.’ Regarding this somewhat abnormal phenomenon, Kamikawa Hikaru shook his head and didn’t think much about it. He continued to walk forward boredly.

"Hey, what are you doing? After going through so many battles, I find that I have nothing to do now." It's no wonder that Kamikawa Mitsuki made such a declaration. He has been fighting with the Discipline Committee since before the summer vacation, and then he is looking for the root of the fantasy hand.

Not only that, but he also has to deal with the evil priest on the magic side and the pursuit of the sword-wielding girl, and finally he has to deal with the "automatic secretary" Index.

"Thinking about it, it's still a disaster. Could it be that because of exposure to Touma, I also got misfortune?" Kamikawa Hikaru said to himself, and then began to think about whether he should ask a monk to perform a ritual to drive away the bad luck.

"Let's go and play games." In the end, Kamikawa Hikaru decided to relax. Since saving money to buy a house, he hasn't been to a game center for a long time. Following the route in his memory, he came to the game center. Kamikawa Hikaru took 1,000 at the counter.

The Japanese yen was exchanged for 10 game coins.

"Hey, although the game coins are a little less, I can still play all morning." As a relatively low-key person, Kamikawa Hikaru has another title besides "nail house", that is, "game expert". Regardless of

Whatever game it is, you will be able to play it very proficiently after just 2 to 3 games. As for all the games in this game center, Kamikawa Hikaru has played them. Basically, you can clear a game with up to 2 game coins. So 10 games.

There are actually quite a lot of coins, which is more than enough for a whole morning.

"What should I play? Uh-huh." Hikari Kamikawa fell into happy hesitation. His long life of saving money made him say goodbye to gaming for a long time. It has been about 5 months since he last played a game.

"Let's try King of Fighters 97." Hikaru Kamikawa came to a King of Fighters 97 arcade and sat down, calling out the hidden characters. They were Chris of Fire Destiny, Sharmi of Arakang Inami, and Seven Shackles of Dry Earth.

Just when Kamikawa Hikaru was about to insult the computer, the screen suddenly displayed "You have a new challenger!". Someone seemed to be sitting across from him at this time. The person over there chose Asamiya Athena, Sakazaki Yuri and Kagura

Chizuru started.

'Yuri Sakazaki is not strong, why did you choose that person? He should be a rookie, right?' Hikaru Kamikawa thought, and then clicked start. But then, beyond his expectation, the opponent's offensive was extremely fierce from the beginning, and he was the first

The individual character Chris was almost killed by the opponent with full health.

At this time, Kamikawa Hikaru put away his contempt and started to play seriously. After the first game, the opponent subconsciously thought that the opponent was a rookie and began to relax his vigilance. As a result, he was defeated by Kamikawa Hikaru's Charmy.

Use heavy punches in the air + heavy punches on the ground, and then followed up with a set of standing light thunder and max dark thunder light punch to KO. The opponent seemed to be stunned, and there was no movement in the first 1 second. But Kamikawa Hikaru didn't expect the opponent either.

He didn't take any action, he just stepped back and missed the opportunity.

After that, both sides focused 100% on each other, and the scene was very anxious, but it seemed that Kamikawa Hikaru had an advantage or was superior in skills. Both sides played 3 games, and both Kamikawa Hikaru won. The person on the opposite side still refused to admit defeat.

, but Kamikawa Hikaru clearly felt that the opponent was getting restless and had more and more flaws, resulting in the fact that in the last five games, he could not win against Kamikawa Hikaru.

"Damn it! I didn't expect it to be so powerful!" came a complaint from the other side, clear and extremely sweet.

Kamikawa Hikaru's heart skipped a beat, couldn't it be that person? He sneaked his head to the machine and looked, and sure enough! It was the girl with brown hair and a crush on Denki. She looked at the screen angrily, pouting her little mouth.

.Then grab the game coins piled on the arcade and continue the challenge.

‘Should we go?’ Kamikawa Hikaru thought, but the screen again prompted “You have a new challenger”, so Kamikawa Hikaru had to sit back and continue the fight.

This time the opponent chose the protagonists of the "Three Sacred Weapons" of Iori Yagami, Kusanagi Kyo and Kagura Chizuru. But this time, Kamikawa Hikaru was inexplicably panicked. The opponent chose Kusanagi Kyo, and as soon as the battle started, he appeared behind him.

It was like moving in an instant. "Holy shit, there is such a trick??" Kamikawa Hikaru was shocked, and then quickly jumped back to avoid Kusanagi Kyo's "Wild Bite". However, the other party refused to let go. The moment he withdrew the move, the character

He glided for a very strange distance, then used the Hundred Styles of Oniyaki on Chris to hit him in the air, and then followed up with a bunch of combos. Kamikawa Hikaru watched in amazement as the opponent's anger gauge rose rapidly, as if he had taken medicine.

Then the opponent directly followed up with a move of Max Orochi and a series of combos to directly KO Chris.

"Holy shit, isn't that a 'ghost step'? Kyo Kusanagi can do it too? And why does the anger meter increase so quickly?" Kamikawa Hikaru smashed the joystick. What happened next made him even more surprised. Kamikawa Hikaru used Xia in the opening scene.

Ermi used the Thunder Kick, but the opponent directly enlarged the move. What was extremely strange was that it turned out to be the max trick "God Dust" that only appeared in KOF2001. Kamikawa Hikaru stared blankly as his character was directly KO'd by a series of gorgeous combos.

In the end, let alone the Seven-Yellow Club, the opponent saw Kamikawa Hikari in a daze and was not polite. Kusanagi Kyo directly used jumping punches, standing punches, seventy-five postures changed to 2 stages, wild bite x2, nine injuries, and swing

Sora canceled and then directly took Max Orochimaru. Kamikawa Hikaru looked at the opponent's anger gauge a little numbly. It was originally only 1 line, but he could also use Max's special move.

The voice of "Oh!" rang out from the arcade machine opposite, and Kamikawa Hikaru was completely petrified. 'Isn't this cheating? Isn't it??' Kamikawa Hikaru shouted in his heart.

'Hmm, isn't it a little too obvious?' Mikoto thought with her chin in distress. The other party seemed to have no interest in continuing to play. After waiting for a long time, the other party did not renew her life, which made Mikoto feel a little guilty. She seemed to be too serious.

In the end, when I was angry, I couldn't beat the opponent, so I used my electromagnetic power to modify the program in the arcade. If I won, it would be a complete defeat.

Thinking of this, Mikoto sighed and was about to go out to apologize. But she was stunned when she saw the person sitting across from her. She didn't expect that the person she had been challenging turned out to be an acquaintance.

Mikoto greeted Hikari Kamikawa with a slightly embarrassed expression. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect you to be here too."

"Yes, what a coincidence." Hikaru Kamikawa looked at the cheating girl in front of him speechlessly.

"Well..." Mikoto lowered her head in embarrassment, thinking about what to say next.

"Hmph, cheating if you can't beat him? It's impossible for King of Fighters 97 to send out those moves, right?" Kamikawa Hikaru said coldly.

"I know...I know! Even if I lose that one, I won't lose anything else!" Mikoto said loudly.

"Hmph, interesting. Do you want to challenge me as a 'Game Master' or 'Arcade King'? Let me tell you, I had the feat of playing games for 5 coins for a day at my peak!" Hikaru Kamikawa said confidently.

"What? I've never heard of it at all. Whether it's great or not, we'll find out if we try it!" Mikoto, who has a character that refuses to admit defeat, immediately retorted.

"Okay, you decide what game to play." Kamikawa Hikaru accepted her provocation. Although he was very afraid of her ability, he would definitely not fail if he played an arcade machine. "Okay! This is what you said.

.But if you lose, there will be a punishment game!" Mikoto said seriously.

"Come on! Who's afraid of you!" 'There's nothing I want to do today anyway, so I'll just play with you.' The reason Kamikawa Hikaru agreed to her challenge was because he was simply too idle and didn't know what to do at all.
