My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 316 - 312: The International Student and the New Arena Master

Chapter 316: Chapter 312: The International Student and the New Arena Master

Japan, Hokkaido, JPN Extraordinary Comprehensive Arena.

Assassin’s Lounge.

Zhou Yu opened a roll of medical bandages and started wrapping his arms full of wounds.

He was an exchange student, to be precise, a second-year student at The University of Tokyo.

Because he didn’t apply for a leave of absence, he probably has already said goodbye to his degree due to excessive absence.

Originally, before studying abroad, Zhou Yu boasted to his friends that he would "return fully prepared and serve the motherland."

But...

After the Extraordinary Era arrived, Zhou Yu’s situation quickly changed drastically.

During the holidays, Zhou Yu spent money to join a group tour to Mount Fuji with a travel agency.

During the tour, the group picked up fourteen oddly shaped stones.

Among those who touched the stones, twelve turned into a pile of foul-smelling flesh, dead as dead can be.

But Zhou Yu and another white-collar worker were lucky; not only were they unaffected, but they also awakened a superpower because of it.

It took Zhou Yu a long time to learn through the JPN Extraordinary Comprehensive Tournament that those strange stones were called Victory Stones.

Only those with strong Spiritual Power and willpower are qualified to use them as a medium to become Superpower Users.

Those with too weak Spiritual Power or insufficient willpower who pick up a Victory Stone without a tool to measure their levels often end up as a pile of bloody flesh if they try to awaken by luck!

After awakening his superpower, Zhou Yu quickly realized the changes and turbulence in the world, so he immediately arranged to buy a ticket back home, but unfortunately...

His luck seemed to have run out when he awakened his superpowers.

Although he had successfully boarded the ship, he encountered a fight with the Extreme Path forces halfway through.

To protect himself, Zhou Yu displayed some abilities, and afterwards...

He was captured and brought back to Japan.

With members of an Extreme Path Clan pointing guns at him, holding his hand, they forced him to sign a contract for the JPN Extraordinary Comprehensive Tournament, becoming an "assassin."

Resist?

Zhou Yu indeed considered it.

After all, he is a Superpower User, not just a university student with no strength.

Unfortunately, his superpower only increases his reaction speed and doesn’t directly enhance his physical strength.

Sometimes, his mind would catch on, but his body couldn’t keep up.

With over a dozen guns aimed at him, monitored twenty-four hours by fierce and armed guards, he had no chance to resist.

Eating, drinking, entertainment, and accommodation all took place within the JPN Extraordinary Comprehensive Arena, with no personal freedom whatsoever.

One could say that, as a student living in peaceful times, Zhou Yu felt he did quite well not to wet his pants when stopped on the ship, facing so many unlocked, loaded firearms.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu complexly finished wrapping the bandage on his arm and started maintaining his combat short knife with blade oil, his peripheral vision unintentionally glancing at a young man not far away. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Sakai Tetsuya, twenty-nine, a typical Japanese man, a company slave (a derogatory term for office workers in Japan who work obediently and are exploited by the company like livestock).

This guy is very eccentric but highly adaptable.

Speaking of which, Zhou Yu and Sakai Tetsuya share some fate; they were in the same travel agency during the Mount Fuji trip and came into contact with the Victory Stones simultaneously, awakening superpowers.

Later, not long after Zhou Yu was captured, the company Sakai Tetsuya worked for went bankrupt, forcing him to turn to the sea, joining the JPN Extraordinary Comprehensive Tournament as an Extraordinary One, becoming an "assassin" who, although not glorious, could earn quite a bit of money.

"Mr. Zhou Yu, there’s something off in your gaze..."

Sakai Tetsuya put down the whetstone in his hand, sheathed his curved Samurai Sword, and asked in a quiet tone: "Your observation and Sixth Sense have always been stronger than mine, so tell me, is something terrible about to happen again?"

Initially, Sakai Tetsuya disliked Zhou Yu very much, feeling this guy was a jinx. Whenever he met Zhou Yu, something terrible would happen.

After the travel agency group of fourteen got reduced to just him and Zhou Yu, they were summoned to the police station to record their statements, staying there for a full twenty-four hours before being released, only to find the company bankrupt the next day, with all colleagues losing their jobs.

To make a living, repay the mortgage, support his parents, and save money for marriage, Sakai Tetsuya was forced into the sea, voluntarily joining the Extraordinary Comprehensive Tournament.

Initially, Sakai Tetsuya relied on his [Weakness Insight] ability, dominating in the arena, easily bullying those beginner-level Inner Qi novices, making a small profit.

Then he met Zhou Yu in the arena, experiencing the first defeat of his "assassin" career.

So, for quite some time, Sakai Tetsuya considered Zhou Yu his nemesis.

However, as time went by, Sakai Tetsuya gradually discovered that he and Zhou Yu could talk to each other, helping and exchanging combat experiences, eventually developing a camaraderie of sorts.

"You’re overthinking it."

Zhou Yu looked at him, shrugged: "Honestly, your ability is pretty good. If you’re willing to go to China with me, you’d definitely do better than struggling in this hellhole."

Sakai Tetsuya’s eyelids twitched, seemingly tempted, but after a moment of struggle, he still shook his head: "People like us, at the bottom of society, even awakening a superpower, are only circling around at the B-level. The treatment is the same no matter which country... There’s no savior in this world, no Immortal Emperor or Divine Emperor; we can only depend on ourselves! As long as we’re strong enough, we can rise to the top anywhere! If we lack strength, we have no freedom anywhere!"

"..." Zhou Yu remained silent.

He was long accustomed to Sakai Tetsuya’s speaking style, often feeling that Sakai Tetsuya must have deeply studied many ideological guidebooks from China.

"Forget it. Let’s not talk about this; I can’t even protect myself, let alone think about escaping with you. Isn’t that just dreaming?"

Zhou Yu smirked with self-mockery, closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and a thread of Biological Energy slowly circulated within him.

He had already filled one Acupoint with Inner Qi; with continuous effort in eating and cultivation, once he fills four Acupoints and reaches the Second Rank of Inner Qi, he can attempt an escape.

Suddenly, there was an unusual sound from outside the lounge.

Screams and shrill wails reached his ears.

Zhou Yu quickly opened his eyes, pushed open the door, only to be blocked by eight armed men.

The black muzzles were locked tightly on him.

"I advise you to be honest! Don’t move!"

"Today, the new Arena Master is inspecting the work personally; if you cause trouble, don’t blame us for causing you trouble!"

New Arena Master...

Who could it be?
