Accel World Vol 3 Chapter 7 (2/2)
”If, around this time, a hidden camera was discovered from the locker inside the fe uproar in the school Then, after the search for the offender begins, that previous video is uploaded to the local net with that, would Kurashi+ma-senpai's cover for Arita-senpai still work?”
”!!”
Haruyuki and Chiyuri took in a sharp breath at the same time
”No way You, went that far?”
At the same time that dry sound left his mouth
Suddenly a red light flashed in front of his eyes On the top of his view, in pretentious large Mincho font, [Eency Notice] words scrolled past Without the ti chi Different froed with a sense of urgency Continuing, a female synthetic voice sounded the announcement
”Froeency notice From the current time on, the areas beloill be forbidden entry by all students The students in those areas, please leave quickly Repeat”
Right after, displayed fully in his vieas a transparent 3D map of Umesato ht red
That was, the area above and below the gym Of course, that also includes the female shower rooms
Even after shrinking the picture to a small icon, and his view recovered, Haruyuki continued to stare at Noumi's face in a daze The first year who just entered school, brightly said with unchanging smile
”They finally discovered the ca at this time, so naturally they would”
Those words, were half overwritten by the cos at the south side
Chiyuri who took a step back, whispered in a sound volume that could almost not be heard
”Are you s-still sane? ThisThis large scale thing being done just, for a game?”
”It's me ants to ask you, Kurashi+ame», do you really think like that?”
At that e in the quality of Nouht smile up until then
A corner of his ht was released His tongue that poked out, licked his lower lip ly
Towards Chiyuri who shi+vered, the blue ribbon on her chest
Nourabbed it Then violently pulled
”Ah!?”
As she let out a s voice was released sternly in front of Chiyuri's eyes, with both of their noses al distance
”Don't use insolent words against ain You can only followso, the level 1 Kurashi+ma-senpai, won't be able to earn points so easily”
Suddenly, Nouly around and below her chest He put his jaw on Chiyuri's right shoulder, and directly whispered into her ear
”You, will beWhile I «Duel», be sure to be in the gallery and attend to s» don't have one Ah, don't worry, I don't think I will ask you to do anything in the real world For the moment, that is”
After hearing Noumi's words, Haruyuki's tee sounds which he did not notice iether
”YYou bastard”
With that groan, Haruyuki was going to take a step forward At that moment
”Who said you couldno, senpai”
With a cold s
”I said it at the beginning, that it's gaer any choice left for senpai Quietly, just sit there or so for a while”
After saying so, Nou fro to look closer, Haruyuki soon understood that was an XSB cable And then, it's purpose
Frohtly, Nou towards Chiyuri's neck
A thin mist of tears covered Chiyuri's wide open eyes—
And then, when he saw that her pure white teeth were shaking in small chatters
Inside of Haruyuki, a certain kind of sound snapped
”You bastarddd!!”
Before he realized that the shout was his, Haruyuki had kicked the wet ground With his unaccustoed towards Noumi
He had no idea what he was going to do right now
With his flesh and blood fist, that is using violence to make an opponent succumb, destroy his pride, and make him obey That was the lowest and worst act that Haruyuki himself painfully suffered, but that kind of sense had already been bloay Only the urge of wanting to recklessly hit this far smaller than him boy called Noumi exist
Even seeing Haruyuki huge body charging in—
Noumi's thin smile did not disappear
He strongly pushed Chiyuri flying, rass Then he lowered his waist, with his htly open
At thatto do
It's «Acceleration» Further in the flesh, the 10 times sped up «Physical Acceleration»
The instant he realized that, Haruyuki at the same time as Noumi, instinctively shouted the command that he had never used before
””Physical Burst!!””
With UUUuuuu sounds, all of the surrounding sounds' pitch lowered And the color of the sunlight darkened
And then, the density of the air increased
It was like he was inside a colorless, transparent viscous liquid It took a long time even to take a step forward Instead of acceleration, this is deceleration, but that thought was soon dismissed The effect of this command was that, the consciousness was accelerated 10 times while it remained in the real world This meant that the speed of your flesh and blood body and everything else was lowered to 1/10
Just one ish While the cold sht fist After that fist reached above his shoulder, it slowly turned to move forward Normally Haruyuki would not be able to see this punch path, but right now he could clearly predict it
While in the sticky and heavy air, Haruyuki leaned his body to the right side At the same time, his left fist came from below and thrust upwards He would avoid Nou for his stomach
Is this, really alright?
Bubbles of those kind of thoughts, floated up to the water surface of his heart and popped up with very small sounds
However, Haruyuki forcefully sunk them back into the depths
This guy, just Nouive no htened her, and above that— what did he say? Toy dog?
Won't forgive Absolutely
Haruyuki carefully steadied his fist that was aiht flank
Due to that, he realized it too late
Nou just a little, and in exchange, his left hook shot out
—A feint!?
He hurriedly stepped doith his right leg, and tried to lean to the left side this time
However, the center of ht side, could not be returned easily
Noumi's left fist closed in on his face At the saht flank that Haruyuki was ai for moved far away
The effort he put into correcting the path was not enough, and Haruyuki's fist just grazed pass Noumi's blazer
Right after, he felt the right side of his jaw touched by Noumi's fist
What is with this punch? It doesn't hurt at all, upon the brief ht—
The force that passed through the thick layer of stored fat around Haruyuki's neck area, reached his jaw bone, then irresistible heaviness and hardness was conveyed by his nerves Soft cell groups being destroyed, blood capillaries being broken, those kind of feelings, Haruyuki tasted them in 1/10 replay speed
As if pushed by some kind of slow explosion like heat and pressure, Haruyuki started to fall to his left side At the edge of his sideways view, Nou, spun his body and held up his right leg
With action movie like slow and perfect motion, Noumi let out a back spin kick, which Haruyuki could only look on helplessly
The heel of the right leg that was extended straight out, touched his right flank, ate in, fearfully deep, and thrust in deeply—
As if a huge pole was stuck in his jiggly stoination for e of his view, blurred by tears, he saw Chiyuri's face, distorted by pain
Before his back hit the ground, it took 7 more seconds
For the re amount of «Physical Burst» cohtly rolled, he could only withstand the pain that flared up
With uuuUUU sounds, the pitch of the surrounding sounds returned, and at the same time, the air's thickness also disappeared
”Gu haa!”
After the acceleration of his consciousness stopped, he let out a sharp moan, and held his kicked sto dry heaves, he saw Nou on the underbrush
”Ah, that's no good, senpai Fights during physical acceleration are deter feints, you should have understood if you thought over it a little right? Or could it be that, you haven't even fought before? If it was like that, then I should have had no need to use the command 5 points wasted”
Stopping right in front, he used his right foot on Haruyuki's shoulder, and kicked him into a face down position
”There are 3 more minutes till the next class, huh? Well, ill make it in time I will respond to your request, and be your opponent, Arita-senpai”
”Ah ouch?”
While enduring the sharp pain that finally lessened, Haruyuki moaned
After doing so much already, what does he want now?
The answer to that question, was not ords, it ith the shi+ning XSB plug that approached
While stepping on Haruyuki's back with his left foot, Nou into Haruyuki's Neuro Linker, then shouted
”Burst Link!!”
