Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 417 Kuroko's Basketball

"Th-thank you," Ai Aragaki said somewhat awkwardly as she approached Tianxuan to express her gratitude.

"It's nothing, just a small favor. This guy often acts like this."

"Is he...is he alright?" Ai Aragaki asked cautiously, because she noticed that Di Xing seemed to have fainted.

Di Xing was furious. Why did he run away in fear when I saved him, but he went straight to a beautiful girl who saved him?

"It's nothing," Tianxuan said nonchalantly. "He's very resilient. Classmate, this is my first day of class. Do you know where the classroom is?"

"Let me see your student ID. You're also a student at Sheung Wan. Come with me, I'll take you to the classroom."

These two, who became best friends in the blink of an eye, left the pitiful Di Xing behind and happily walked into the school gate.

Di Xing sighed, lying on the ground, and was just about to get up.

"Boom!"

Mingmu, carrying Bai Chen, whom he had met by chance on the road and was also about to be late, sped past Di Xing on his motorcycle.

Bai Chen: "Ming Mu, did we just press on something?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, it must be your imagination!" Mingmu twisted the accelerator and sped away from the crime scene.

Then, Wang Teng, who was running towards school with a Big Mac in his mouth, saw Di Xing lying on the ground.

I picked up a twig and poked him.

"Hey, are you dead yet? Let me know if you are."

After poking it a couple more times, Di Xing, face down, waved his hand to open the branch.

"Stop making a fuss, let me cry for a while."

"Tch, you're not dead? Well, you can stay here then. I need to get to class; that teacher is really fierce."

As he spoke, Wang Teng grabbed his Big Mac and sprinted towards the school, looking just like Xiang Yu charging into battle with a large pork knuckle in his mouth.

An eerie harmony

Then, two bodyguards from the Aragaki family stepped forward and lifted Di Xing up.

"Thank you for your hard work. You're very dedicated. I'm the butler of the Aragaki family." A refined-looking old man with a goatee and a monocle approached and handed Di Xing a set of night clothes.

"However, Miss won't let us into the school yet. The head of the family instructed us to find a way to bring you to Sheung Wan as well, and scare Miss a bit there. Maybe then she'll allow us to come into the school."

"Does your family head actually dislike her daughter?" Di Xing complained. "Also, you're not students, how did you get in?"

"Hehe, in my youth I was known as the 'Thousand-Faced Kunie'."

The old man with the goatee stylishly took off his suit jacket, spun around in front of him, and then he miraculously transformed into a young student.

"Wow, that's impressive! Are you planning to use this disguise technique to get me into Sheung Wan?"

"No, it was a special pass obtained through the old man's donation to the school."

"You..." Di Xing was speechless. Why was he showing off his disguise skills to me? Was he just showing off?

"Then why wear this night-clothes?"

"These clothes are made using elven power; they'll make you less noticeable."

So, together with Thousand Faces Bond, Di Xing passed through a special passage and crossed two towering walls to reach Sheung Wan.

Sheung Wan is like an aristocratic district, opulent and luxurious, even the faucets are gilded.

"Why don't they even make toilet paper out of gold?" Di Xing retorted mercilessly.

"Huh? That happened 30 years ago! How do you know?"

"They actually did it?! Wouldn't that make them a gold mine?"

"Yes, back then, students from Sheung Wan were known as the 'Golden Butt Family'."

"Wow... city people really know how to have fun."

"Later, they complained that the gold powder would stick to their bottoms and be uncomfortable, so someone improved it, making the gold powder adhere firmly to the paper. As a result, the gold powder didn't fall off and it directly became gold sandpaper."

Di Xing felt a chill run down his spine just imagining the scene.

"As expected, a tragic accident occurred, and the gold-plated toilet paper was cancelled."

"Wow, this school is really rich."

"What are you thinking? The school wouldn't do this kind of thing. All this gold dust is what those rich students paid for themselves."

"Forehead......"

Thinking of the people struggling to survive on the fourth floor, Di Xing felt even more disgusted with these guys.

"Look! That's my young lady."

Aragaki Ai, who had already finished class, was seen happily walking and chatting with Tianxuan while holding a cat.

Two stunningly beautiful girls formed a striking sight. Several self-important students swaggered past them, then quickly turned back to look.

"Hmph, to see my young lady's stunning beauty, they must have done something incredibly lucky in their past lives," the old butler, Bangying, said proudly, stroking his beard.

"Tianxuan, I saw you going to school with that Di Xing. What's your relationship with him?" Ai Aragaki asked curiously.

"Hmm," Tianxuan tilted her head cutely and thought for a moment, "I'd say we're partners. I got into this school thanks to him."

"Why...why would you cooperate with him? He...he's terrifying!" Ai Aragaki trembled slightly. She couldn't believe that Tianxuan, so beautiful and cheerful, would cooperate with the dreadful Di Xing.

"Well, it's a bit complicated. Di Xing does have a lot of problems, but he's actually quite reliable."

"Oh?"

The two girls continued chatting away.

Suddenly, a group of smartly dressed people appeared in front of the two.

The man in overalls, who was leading the group, extended his hand to Tianxuan with a forced smile.

"Hey classmate, I've never seen you before. My name is Kun Su-choi, and I'm the captain of the basketball team in Sheung Wan. May I ask your name?"

Tianxuan made no move to shake his hand, simply saying, "My name is Tianxuan, I just arrived at school today."

"Tianxuan?" Kun Xucai awkwardly withdrew her hand, her displeasure vanishing in an instant. "What a nice name. Since you just arrived at school today, haven't you joined any clubs yet? Would you be interested in joining our basketball team? We're currently looking for an agent."

"And our football team too!"

"Billiards Club!"

Oh? Is it the same plot as in this animation? Di Xing was very curious about how Tian Xuan would deal with it. After all, she was different from Kamishiro Rio. She didn't have a brother as a weakness. She shouldn't have to be strong like Kamishiro Rio to prevent others from seeing her as her brother's weakness, right?

As expected, Tianxuan flatly refused, saying, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

"Oh? Aren't you going to reconsider? Joining us would allow us to witness our prowess on the field up close!"

"unnecessary"

Hmm, that's the simplest way to handle things. It seems Tianxuan has a simpler way of dealing with things than Kamishiro Rio.

"Why?" Kunxu Cai was still not giving up.

"Because you guys are too bad!"

"What?! That group of people completely exploded!"

"You dare say we're bad? How about a match with us?!"

"OK"

Oh my god, how did it turn into a plot from an anime?

Then, unsurprisingly, Tianxuan displayed his prowess, completely dominating his opponents in basketball, billiards, and soccer.

"Damn it, I thought she was a beautiful girl, but she turned out to be a monster tigress," Kun Xucai muttered breathlessly.

Upon hearing his harsh words, Di Xing picked up the basketball with a wicked grin.

"Take this, Kuroko's Basketball!"
