"Clang!"
The sound of the door being pushed came out
The people inside all heard the sound coming from outside the gate.
How long has it been since you saw anyone come in?
They haven't thought about this issue for a long time.
It seems to be more than three months since the last person came in
Zone space.
Ever since the last person was welcomed in, the door had been locked without authorization at some point.
On several occasions, people traveling abroad were stopped and unable to come in.
The people inside didn't know what this change was, but it seemed that Zone had become picky because of "absorbing" them.
Obviously there weren't many people coming here a long time ago, but recently people started coming to the door and trying to push it open, but they were all locked out and couldn't get in.
Including Byodoin and Oni
But now, surrounded by people like that, Akutsu walked straight towards the door and stretched out his hands to break the chain.
Here, consciousness can communicate with each other, even visually.
Akutsu's behavior of pushing the door will naturally attract the attention of others.
Both the people staying outside the door and the people inside the door noticed him.
"Do you think he'll succeed?"
Yukimura unusually asked Sanada next to him, as if he was feeling something.
"Sa doesn't know."
Rarely, Sanada did not directly tell the result.
When did the changes in the gate begin?
What's the reason for the lock?
Conditions to be enabled?
These have become unknown, and Sanada cannot answer them.
But looking at Akutsu, he had a premonition.
This time they may get the answer
"Oh, it's true, children really like to get together."
"I want all the good things."
Nanjiro pretended to be dressed up and wore a pair of sunglasses, and he saw something strange about Akutsu from a distance.
As the "realm" of the new era, Nanjiro has naturally touched it.
He could easily walk through that door, but...
He stayed outside the door, and then his consciousness reached deeper into the door.
It was after that that the door started to be locked.
It seems to be rejecting something, no longer open to the outside world.
And the people inside never noticed Nanjiro's arrival.
"But it's not okay to play it so superficially."
"As it settles there, there will obviously be stronger power."
Even if Nanjiro didn't enter the door, he could understand it more deeply than anyone else just by sneaking in his consciousness.
Because of this, he knew that the group of teenagers staying inside the door were still in their infancy.
Even Shirazu and Tezuka, who he was optimistic about, had only understood some of the power of "Zone" and had not fully guided it.
(However, the boy I saw that day...why was he there?)
But when he thought about it, Nanjiro still had one problem that he didn't understand, which was that when he was sneaking into his consciousness, he discovered that one of Teikou's true choices was deep inside.
Kuroko Tetsuya
That was the name of the person Nanjiro met.
Unlike others who are still in the starting stage, Kuroko seems to be in the second stage.
Therefore, Nanjiro was very surprised, why did Kuroko dive deeper into the Zone than Shirazu and Tezuka?
In terms of proportion, if Shirazu and the others only used 10% of Zone.
That sunspot is already at 20%.
This strange difference in proportion is really surprising.
(Tezuka, if he goes in, you will be in danger.)
Knowing how many things "Zone" can involve, Nanjiro smiled like he was watching a good show.
"Ouch!"
As if hearing the howling of a pack of wolves, Tezuka's pupils dilated slightly.
Akutsu hit the serve, and the individual who quickly shuttled across the court was astonishing.
"boom!!"
"0-15!!"
For the first time, Akutsu actually scored on the serve.
"Wild?"
"It's not just that. There's also Zone"
But when one looked at Akutsu's appearance, the silver flash of lightning and the ferocious beast's aura showed his evolution.
"No. There seems to be something else!"
Fuji opened his eyes wide, and he felt something even more terrifying from Akutsu.
There is another breath of wildness and zone.
"0-30!!"
Another serve, Tezuka saw two figures from Akutsu
But unfortunately, he failed to see the path of the ball and lost the point.
"Is that really the blessing brought by Zone?"
"Do you feel like you have exceeded Akutsu's personal limit?"
Sanada sensed something was wrong. Even with Wild + Zone enabled, Akutsu shouldn't be this strong.
"He seems to have undergone some mutation that we don't know about."
Even Yukimura was surprised. Akutsu walked in from the door and seemed to experience something different from them.
"Although it is in an incomplete state."
"But that alone led to it."
"No knowledge"
Nanjiro held the back of his head with his hands, feeling that these junior high school students were really getting more and more interesting.
Zone, as a combined field of consciousness and spirit, has the ability to guide others to exert their best efforts.
And for a genius like Akutsu, Zone brought out the power deep in his soul.
Even if the body cannot bear the price, it is still enough to use it in an incomplete state.
"0-40!!"
"2-1!!"
"That's awesome! That guy"
"You actually won a game from the flawless Tezuka Kunimitsu?"
They never expected such an unfolding, and a group of people became a little excited.
(Why does Zone lock the door?)
(I seem to know that reason)
Through Akutsu, Tezuka also understood the answer
Precisely because there are so many geniuses encountered, Zone becomes more and more picky.
After witnessing the intervention of the Miracles and Tezuka and others, it unknowingly began to raise the requirements for entry.
Especially after meeting Nanjiro, in the communication between that huge individual, after realizing how high the upper limit of this world was, it directly chose to "lock the door."
In the past, you could get in if you were a genius and had a certain amount of enthusiasm.
Now if the new requirements of the Zone are not met, it will not advance.
It can be said that "the store bullies customers"
The reason why Akutsu came in was because Zone sensed his profound potential.
And gave Akutsu a weak degree of liberation.
Let Akutsu experience the potential power for a limited time.
If I really want to say it, it is that Zone dotes on Akutsu and gives him a little treatment when he comes in for the first time.
Because it is convinced that it has found a treasure again this time
Compared with the previous person who was taller and much older, this was the "treasure" it really wanted.
In the past, it was too superficial. I would want a good one when I saw one, but it is different now.
It will take the initiative to pick people instead of letting others come in casually.
The difference between passive and active
I don’t know how much impact this will have on people inside and outside the door.
