Yato used two secret medicines at once, and his condition was worse than ever before.
In this state, you go diving and hold your breath.
It's like making a terminal cancer patient, who is lying in a hospital bed, suffering from severe cancer pain and has not slept for days and nights, get up and race against someone.
It's simply whimsical.
Yukino found the pool water's reaction strange and was worried that Yato might be in trouble, but in her opinion, this only proved that the monster in human skin was still alive.
As long as you're not dead, you'll be fine.
This sounds a bit strange.
Having witnessed Yato's unreasonable physique, Tenyu was even more confident than Yato himself when it came to things related to him.
Two minutes passed quickly.
"You stay here and watch over things, I'll go get help!"
Yukino couldn't sit still any longer and prepared to launch a rescue plan.
"Wait, it's only been seven minutes."
Tianyu stopped him.
"Seven minutes is enough for a person to completely lose vital signs."
Yukino glared at her coldly.
Although the latter is the vice president, Yukino will never back down when it comes to matters of principle.
"If that guy sees how much you care about him, he might be so touched that he'll let you swim a few more laps."
As Tianyu spoke softly, she picked up a few strands of her short hair that fell over her shoulders and examined them closely.
This was when Yato was demonstrating the complete form of the Tempest Kick to her, and she was accidentally caught in the aftershock and cut off.
"Long hair does affect combat a bit, so why not just cut it short?" Amami thought to herself, a bit of a perfectionist and obsessive-compulsive, completely ignoring Yukino's outburst of anger.
"you……!"
Boom!
Just as Yukino was about to say something, she suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly.
"Was there an earthquake? Of all times...?"
Island nations are prone to earthquakes, and the people are used to it.
But with the timing of this outbreak, Yukino truly felt a sense of impending doom.
"...No, it's not an earthquake."
Tianyu was also taken aback, frowned and carefully sensed the water for a while before turning his gaze to the pool.
"The tremor came from the pool."
Chapter 87
At the bottom of the pool, which they could not see, the water was already murky.
Gravel and stone chips are mixed in the undercurrent.
The surge continued unabated.
The pull of the undercurrent has become quite strong. If someone were to come down at this point, they would inevitably be swept up by the undercurrent and find it difficult to escape.
The cause of this situation is inertia!
thump.
In the shadows where visibility was impossible, a foot suddenly stepped on the inner wall of the pool, creating a huge crater larger than a human body.
Multiple undercurrents and vortexes are also working together.
It had a strong impact on the entire rock face.
It's like someone holding a chain and spinning wildly in place, then suddenly, recklessly approaching, only to get hit squarely by the chain.
"It's time to go up!"
Just now, I used a millstone-like motion to release all the heat from my body in one go.
But exhaling this breath also means that holding one's breath has failed.
Yato suppressed the urge to breathe, using his hands as hooks and his fingers gripping the stone like mud, climbing up the inner wall of the pool, ignoring the pull of the undercurrent.
Probably less than half a minute passed.
He then broke through the water.
"what……!"
Place both hands on the edge of the pool and push hard.
Yato flipped over and lay down on the shore.
His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath.
He looked completely exhausted.
you do not say.
While underwater training is extremely effective, it's not like a gym where you can spend hours at a time.
Moreover, there's the influence of the secret medicine.
It reduced my energy to some extent; otherwise, even if I couldn't hold it in, I wouldn't be this exhausted.
Yato now looks like steel that has just been cooled, his whole body is red, his skin is wrinkled, and many places are peeling off, like a snake shedding its skin. The parts that have peeled off look like they are covered with a transparent protective film, which looks extremely smooth and shiny, but somewhat lacks a sense of reality.
Yes, just like Tianyu's skin.
Despite her beauty, like a work of art, she is not the kind of person a normal person could have.
"You've once again shattered my perception of you."
The sound came from above.
Yato opened his eyes and saw an upside-down face.
Although the angle is wrong.
But with such a striking face, it's quite difficult to mistake her for someone else.
"President, do you need me to call an ambulance for you?"
Then, another voice rang out.
His expression was clearly one of displeasure.
"I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Yato sat up and smiled at Yukino, who had an unfriendly expression beside him.
"...That's not the issue. Although I don't know what you want to do, I hope you can explain it to me beforehand so I can be prepared. It's not nice to feel like a fool just waiting for the result without knowing anything."
Yukino sighed.
"Didn't Tianyu explain to you? The main reason we came to the pool today, besides to solve your problem, was for this."
Yato turned his head in surprise to look at Tenyu, but the latter had already walked away as if nothing had happened.
"Tenyu-kun doesn't seem to like communicating with people other than the club president."
Yukino spoke in a calm tone.
But Yato could detect a hint of dissatisfaction in her words.
There is no doubt that these two girls, who look very similar, do not get along well.
The problem lies with Tianyu.
Despite appearing indifferent to everything else, she possesses a more assertive and aloof personality than anyone else.
I don't like dealing with people I consider to be 'weak'.
Of course, even so.
Tianyu wouldn't intentionally make enemies of people.
The reason she's so reluctant to communicate with Yukino is simply because Yukino is 'one of Yato's people', nothing more.
Although Yato was not yet aware of this, he could sense the tension brewing between the two.
"Hmm, it seems I need to do some of the work that a company president should do."
Yato seemed lost in thought.
After all that he did, the swimming pool is no longer usable.
So the three of them packed up and moved to a more distant outdoor swimming pool to continue their workout.
Shuchiin, as Japan's top aristocratic school, has at least ten standard competition swimming pools like the ones often seen in school-themed anime, specifically for swimming lessons, and even one super-large swimming pool.
However, that was the swimming club's territory, and there were many people there. Given the situation of the three of them, it was really inconvenient for them to go over and 'disturb' them.
"Hiss..."
Yato was staring intently at the graceful figure swimming in the water like a fish when suddenly a sharp pain shot through his back, catching him off guard and causing him to gasp in shock.
Are you trying to assassinate me?
Yato turned his head.
"I'm the one helping you with this, but you're staring at other girls so intently. Even I would get angry."
A chilling smile played on Tenyu's lips, and a trace of Yato's blood stained his perfectly manicured nails.
"...Someone like you can be jealous?"
Yato chuckled.
"Of course, I will not allow those who defeat me to be oblivious to my existence."
Tianyu spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
"But the problem is, I can't see you when you're standing behind me."
Yato said helplessly.
"In that case..."
Tenyu suddenly walked around to Yato and squatted down, parallel to him.
"Hey!"
Yato sensed something was wrong and stopped it in time.
"Wait until you explain what you want to do."
"I'll wrap my hands around your body and remove the necrotic skin tissue from your back. Although I can't see it, I'll let you through without missing anything."
Tianyu spoke in a calm tone, as if he were talking about what to eat today.
But Yato keenly caught a glimpse of amusement in her eyes.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself."
Although it was a very attractive option, the timing and location were not suitable.
"However, Tianyu, I think we might..."
"I'll return your words to you. 'You should do it yourself.'"
Tianyu snorted and got up to walk away.
It looks like they'll have to go into the water for a while.
Yato shrugged. Girls are really hard to deal with.
Randomly eliminate all distracting thoughts.
He found a spot with some dirt, lowered his waist and hips, and stretched his arms forward.
