Chapter 53 Tips for Raising Happiness Stats (Limited to Battle Maniacs)
Feeling humiliated, he changed his trousers, wiped the disguise off his face, and returned to the stadium.
However, they were no longer in the players' area, but in the audience seats.
She wanted to see how the guy who reminded her would fight with the guy who had played her.
During halftime, it's time to eat, drink, and spend some money.
In the afternoon, the second half of the semi-finals began.
"The first match of the semi-finals (4 to 2) will feature Esdeath from the Galapagos Merchant Guild against Broly from the Rabbit Collection Merchant Guild..."
After the usual insertion of GG, the host and judges left the audience in suspense, shouting loudly, "Who will advance to the finals? Let's wait and see!"
"Does what you said yesterday still count?"
Broly asked the question.
He was cheated twice after participating in the competition, which made him somewhat worried.
"Which one is that?"
Esdeath stretched her body, crossed her arms behind her back and raised her head to ask.
"It's the one who, if I beat you, will become my friend and be my wife."
Broly said.
"Of course it counts, I never lie."
Esdeath nodded.
Hearing this, Broly felt relieved. His only fear was that even if he beat the girl, she wouldn't admit it.
"Aren't you going to move around a bit?"
Esdeath asked.
Why?
Broly was somewhat puzzled.
"If you don't warm up, your movements will be slow."
Esdeath gave him an explanation.
"Don't worry, I'm very fast."
Broly was very confident about this, as his movement speed was his strongest trait among all his abilities, in order to speed up the charging of Crystal Palace.
"I won't hold back."
Esdeath reminded her again.
"Don't hold back, do whatever makes you happy."
Broly glanced at the Crystal Palace's display showing that Esdeath's happiness level was steadily rising, and happily said this to Esdeath.
"Whatever makes me happy..."
Esdeath laughed. She didn't know if Broly was arrogant, but her fighting spirit was definitely rising.
"The match begins!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Esdeath's figure shifted from stillness to movement, and in the blink of an eye, she covered a distance of more than ten meters and arrived in front of the boy, throwing a punch at the boy's right cheek.
As he had predicted, Broly reacted quickly and easily blocked her punch, but did not put on any further show of weakness or inability to withstand the attack.
The battle was intense from the very beginning, with Esdeath showing no intention of holding back and launching a full-scale attack after the fighting began.
Her attacks were not only fast, but also incredibly powerful; if others were like a gentle breeze or a light drizzle, hers were like a raging storm.
Of course, whether it's a gentle breeze or a raging storm, it doesn't make much difference to Broly, because the difference in their basic physical abilities is too great; if his defenses aren't breached, they simply aren't breached.
Broly was even worried that a direct confrontation might allow Esdeath to hurt him, so he tried his best to avoid physical confrontation with her.
This created a bizarre scene: Broly swayed like a willow catkin under Esdeath's fierce attack.
"Power dissipation, it's power dissipation with extremely high purity. Broly actually used the ultimate power dissipation technique. Esdeath's storm-like attacks seem to have no effect on him."
Broly blocked all the attacks; he was completely unharmed. Ah, how is that possible? Could it be…?
The referee's voice trembled as he spoke the sentiments of all the spectators who had witnessed the intense battle on the field.
"Could it be that Broly has been hiding his true strength all along, only being forced to reveal it after encountering a formidable opponent like Esdeath?!"
Now, it seems that this is the only explanation for what happened in the ring.
Esdeath's offensive gradually weakened after lasting for more than ten minutes.
Ultimately, she is still a person, and a twelve-year-old girl who is not yet fully developed.
Even with her amazing stamina, she still felt tired after attacking at full power for more than ten minutes.
Is the gap between us really that big?
Before the fight, Esdeath thought Broly was a worthy opponent, but after the fight, Broly's perfect defense made her feel like she was facing a thick ice wall.
No matter how she attacked, she couldn't break through, yet her attacks couldn't cause the slightest injury to the boy.
Of course, this refers to actual injuries.
How can you make a genius feel frustrated? It's simple, just let her meet someone even more talented.
Esdeath is now caught in a situation where she feels frustrated by encountering even more talented individuals.
This was the first time in her twelve years of life that she had experienced the gap between people; the boy was far more capable than her.
This impeccable strength even made Esdeath, who was launching a fierce attack, feel a sense of powerlessness.
Esdeath's happiness level is decreasing.
However, while Esdeath's punches and kicks did not have any effect on Broly, her rising happiness level suddenly dropped, causing great harm to Broly.
Seeing Esdeath's happiness score plummeting, Broly became extremely anxious. He quickly looked at Esdeath and met her gaze with a pair of somewhat forlorn eyes, and immediately realized what was going on.
There was a time (before he was three years old) when he was sad because he couldn't beat his father. He immediately said, "No, the gap between us isn't that big. I'm actually already hurt."
"You're lying again. My attack just now didn't even make you move your feet."
Esdeath clearly didn't believe him. Broly really wanted to vomit blood to prove it, but he had already shared the bursting gummy candies he needed to vomit blood with her beforehand.
After thinking for a moment, Broly had a sudden inspiration. He quietly shattered the arena floor beneath his feet, then concentrated his energy in his hands, emitting a green light. He raised his hand and said to Esdeath, "I'm not lying. Look, isn't my hand a little bruised? That's from blocking your attack."
Under the bright sunlight, Esdeath did indeed see a smear of blue on Broly's hand, but before she could see it clearly, Broly immediately withdrew his hand and wouldn't let her see it anymore.
Then, Broly pointed to his feet: "As for why I didn't move, it's because you're too powerful. Your attack just now caused my feet to sink into the ground, so it's not that I didn't want to move, but that I couldn't."
Esdeath looked at the two craters that appeared on the ring after Broly lifted his foot, and for a moment wondered if she was really too powerful, which was why her opponent couldn't move.
"With witnesses and physical evidence presented, do you still doubt your own capabilities?"
Broly questioned loudly.
[After removing the impossible factors, what remains, no matter how unwilling you are to believe it, is the truth.]
At that moment, Broly's mind was filled with the famous quote from the first chapter of "The Sign of Four" in the Sherlock Holmes stories.
Esdeath was taken aback. Yes, did she really have to doubt her own strength?
Despite having hunted so many dangerous species, and despite having survived after the deaths of her parents and clan, she still managed to live on.
In this cruel world, only the strong survive. She must believe in her own strength to survive.
but……
Looking at the boy encouraging me and making me believe in myself, why do I feel so strange, like I've been fooled?
"I was the one attacking and you were the one defending just now. Now it's your turn to attack and I'll defend."
"Come on, Broly, if you want me, attack with all your might!"
Esdeath wasn't so easily fooled; she decided to test the difference in their strength by defending against the boy's attacks.
"this……"
Broly was in a dilemma. If he really attacked with all his might, his wife on the other side would be gone, not even a trace would remain.
After thinking it over, Broly decided to tell a lie, thinking he could just apologize to the other party later.
"In that case, it's my turn to attack with all my might. Are you ready?"
Broly recalled the Type-Moon world and the all-out effort of a certain enthusiastic Fuyuki City citizen, which revealed the same behavior.
After Esdeath nodded, Broly rushed forward. He was very fast, but he was clearly paying attention to the girl's reaction.
After confirming that Esdeath could react, he threw a punch, which Esdeath blocked. He controlled his strength, pressed the other's hand to the side of his face, and then withdrew his fist.
Broly didn't give Esdeath much time to react, quickly changing his move to kick her in the abdomen. It was the same micro-management again, and Esdeath began to struggle to defend against his swift attack.
"This is astonishing! After demonstrating his superb energy dissipation skills, Broly has now unleashed a terrifyingly fast offensive. Under his onslaught, Esdeath is now at a huge disadvantage..."
Esdeath's happiness level is rising.
After withstanding Broly's attack, Esdeath's happiness level, which had been declining, rebounded and surged.
While controlling the rhythm of his attacks, Broly kept an eye on Esdeath's happiness level, adjusting his offensive pace in response to the increase in happiness.
Then, Broly discovered a trick to boost Esdeath's happiness stat: the more dangerous the attack, the higher Esdeath's happiness stat would be, while the easier the attack to defend, the less likely her happiness stat would rise.
After realizing this, Broly changed his attack method again. He used his skill to kick Esdeath away, and the next moment he leaped high into the air and stomped down on the spot where the girl had fallen.
Esdeath quickly rolled to dodge, but Broly didn't pursue her and simply stepped into empty air.
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted beneath his feet as Broly shattered the arena floor, sending rubble flying and creating a deep crater.
Esdeath got up and looked at the deep crater in the ground. Her heart was pounding and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Dodging extremely dangerous attacks brought her to the brink of mental exhaustion; her adrenaline surged, and her body trembled.
But Esdeath's current state is similar to that of ordinary people who experience the giant swing or bungee jumping; her happiness level is soaring!
She recalled a time when her father took her hunting on the ice plains as a child, and she encountered a super dangerous species that stirred up a blizzard.
The current situation is somewhat similar to that time, making her feel insignificant, while the sense of danger surrounding her excites her, as if she is a person who is born to like dangerous and exciting things.
