The group stood on the painted dodgeball court, and Razor began to explain the game rules: "The game is in the form of one person out and seven people in, that is, one person outside the court and seven people inside the court."
"When there is no one inside the court, the team loses."
"If a player inside the court is hit by a ball thrown by the opponent, they will be out and move to outside the court."
"However, at the beginning of the game, the single person that's outside the court when we start, just once, a player may be revived and come back in."
"This is by calling back and can be used at any time to return to inside the court."
"To put it more extreme, if the back is shouted at the beginning of the game, eight people can play inside the court at the same time."
"However, it should be noted that when the ball rolls outside the court, where there isn't at least one player…"
"The ball goes over to the opponent's in-court side, so be careful."
"These are the basic rules, and the important matters will be explained below…"
"For the rules for deciding if a ball hits, a cushion system is in effect."
"For example, if the ball I throw hits the enemy player A, then bounces off at the enemy player B, and then falls to the ground, then both A and Bare out."
"However, if B catches the ball after hitting A, then A is not considered to have been hit."
"But if the ball I threw hits Player A, then bounces off to my team member C, and then touches the ground, then the one who is out is C."
"Similarly, if C catches the rebounded ball, then A is out…"
Razor explained the rules in detail while Milluki and Killua kept supplementing.
As for Gon… he was listening with bubbles in his eyes and white smoke burning on his forehead.
He didn't understand anything at all.
"In short, either avoid the ball or catch it."
Killua summarized the essence in a concise way.
"Any more questions?"
Razor asked again.
"If an outside court player hits someone, are they still out?"
Killua raised his hand to ask a question.
"Of course, but only the player who shouted back can return to the court."
Razor emphasized the importance of the word back again.
When everyone had no objections.
"Okay, the game is about to begin…"
Another humanoid Nen beast acting as a referee came out:
"I am No. 0 in charge of the referee position. Please give me your advice."
The referee with the number 0 printed on his face announced the situation on the field: "The off-field member of the Razor team is No. 1, and the off-field member of the Lan team is Rodriot."
Rodriot is the short and fat man who won the wrestling match with Bopobo and was one of the four members of the Tsezguerra group.
"As soon as the ball is thrown, the game starts…"
No. 0 walked to the middle and took the ball.
On his left and right, the tall beast No. 7, who was responsible for grabbing the ball, and Killua, who had good jumping ability, were ready to go.
"Ready…"
"Go!!"
No. 0 threw the ball into the sky.
Killua jumped up first and held the ball firmly in his hand.
But when he looked down, he found that.
The tall beast No. 7, who was supposed to compete with him for the ball, retreated directly to Razor's side.
Together with the other six beasts, they lined up with Razor.
"I'll let you attack first."
Razor smiled and gave the opportunity to take the initiative to the opposing player group.
"In that case…"
Killua, who instantly understood the situation, threw the ball directly in his own team's direction without hesitation.
And the direction in which he threw the ball... was exactly where Lan was.
As for who on the field could match Razor and make a good start, in Killua's opinion, it was only Lan.
"Wanted to go all out right at the start…?"
Looking at the flying ball, Lan stretched out one hand and caught it steadily.
Then, he looked at Razor on the opposite side, who bent down and made a full-strength gesture.
A smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Let me test your strength!"
"Razor!!"
Buzz!
The next moment, a strong aura rose instantly in his body, and an amazing amount of aura was poured into the ball.
The power it exuded made even Lan's companions retreat continuously!
"Such power…"
Tsezguerra's eyes were full of fear, and the three people behind him had bulging eyes. Even Killua pulled Gon back after landing while looking at Lan's figure with surprise: "Is Lan … going to be serious this time?!"
No one has seen the moment when Lan showed his true strength.
Biscuit had seen the tip of Lan's strength on the previous trip. The Kamehameha left a deep impression on her.
"Perhaps this time, we can see more clearly the true strength he possesses…"
Biscuit looked at Lan's back with burning eyes.
Although she polished out two very good rough stones, Gon and Killua.
But the one she really wanted was Lan, whom she met at the beginning.
She had never been able to figure out the limit and strength of this man.
Finally, in this competition, with such a good opportunity, she would be able to see Lan's true strength!!
"If it is the cushion system…"
Lan, holding the ball in his hand, had already entered a serious state.
"Then let me clear the court with one ball!!"
The ball, which was infused with a strong aura, seemed like a bomb about to explode.
From Lan's hand, it shot towards Razor!!
"Is it coming?"
Looking at the ball flying towards him, Razor's body was surging with boundless aura.
For an opponent at Lan's level, whether it was physical or psychological, Razor had made all-around preparations.
"Are they going to have a head-on collision?"
Facing the ball that was getting closer and closer to him, Razor did not give in!!
However… just when he was about to use his fist to hit the ball head-on.
Whoosh!!
The ball, full of aura, just violated the common sense of natural science, and when it was close to Razor, it turned a corner.
"A Manipulator type?!"
This was the first thought that popped into Razor's mind.
For the aura they applied, they had the ability to manipulate it, which was a very typical method of the Manipulator type.
"No, it's not!"
Razor quickly denied it in his heart.
The Manipulator type is limited by their personality and ability.
They are more inclined to achieve their own manipulation conditions during the battle and use absolute control to gain the dominant position in the battle process.
Compared to head-on collisions, they prefer to design and achieve conditions.
And the strength, aura, and the means of throwing balls that Lan possesses…
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like the Manipulator type but more like the Enhancer type.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the other party has special abilities.
These judgments flashed through Razor's mind quickly.
His eyes did not relax either and closely followed the ball that kept flying.
In his field of vision, he saw with his own eyes that the ball instantly penetrated the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4…
Like piercing candied haws, or in other words, these humanoid Nen beasts in front of Lan seemed like thin paper and were penetrated with a slight touch.
