Snapped!
Katahara Metsudo fired a shot.
The sound was like a balloon bursting.
Then, the turntable slowly came to a stop.
Yato clearly saw that among the scrambled thirty-two groups of characters, one section lit up.
That is……
"d8?"
Among the company representatives, a hint of surprise flashed across Zou Ryuin Shion's face.
According to old man Katahara...
This means that—
"Oh dear, is it really the 'grand finale'? I was the first to make a choice, yet I'm relegated to last place. Luck is such an interesting thing!"
Katahara Metsudou let out a cryptic laugh, placed the gun back on the tray held by his bodyguard, and turned to the assembled company representatives, saying:
"I've finished my demonstration. Who would like to be the second?" Zhan asked.
Chapter 203
"They actually used this method to group people..."
At the edge of the hall, Yato leaned against the wall, arms crossed.
He looked thoughtful.
This was completely different from the trajectory of the world as he knew it.
That being said, this approach is actually more 'fair'.
The thirty-two sets of numbers on the turntable were completely shuffled.
Once it starts spinning, the speed is so fast that it's dazzling.
The 'd8' block that Katahara Metsudo hit had dimmed and 'clicked' into the machine, disappearing completely from the turntable.
The gaps left were then divided equally among the blocks containing the remaining numbers.
Many people noticed this detail and frowned slightly.
If the selected numbers disappear and the remaining block area 'increases'... perhaps 'going later' would be better?
After all, there are 31 sets of numbers left. As long as you don't choose group d, especially d7!
No matter what number you hit, it's difficult to determine whether your position is good or bad.
The answer can only be obtained after everyone has made their choices.
but……
"...Group C is not very suitable either, because in the semi-finals we will definitely encounter the 'Fang of Annihilation'. If we encounter such a final-level opponent too early, it will be easy for someone to take advantage of us in the finals."
Okubo muttered, stroking his chin.
"Given the current situation, the best choices are Group A and Group B." Himuro Ryo said with a serious expression. "Although the spinning wheel is too fast, making it difficult to hit the desired number by willpower alone, from a probability standpoint, the earlier the better."
"That's right. While it's easier to judge the situation based on the groupings when leaving it to the end, it's also impossible to judge whether the choices left are good or bad; they might all be 'bad moves'."
Okubo pursed his lips.
"President Katahara has really put everyone in a difficult position. Should we gamble entirely on luck, or choose the best option from the remaining choices whose quality is unknown? Igarashi, if it were you, what would you choose?"
"I?"
Looking at the company representatives in the center of the hall, who were deep in thought and didn't dare to try again, Yato said calmly, "Of course I'll be the first to go."
"Huh? Why?"
Okubo and Himuro Ryo looked over in confusion.
"Because there are seven numbers left in group D and eight numbers left in each of the other groups, the probability of hitting the numbers in the other groups is higher than that in group D."
Yato replied without hesitation.
right!
It dawned on them.
From an objective point of view, going at this point actually gives you a probabilistic advantage; if you wait any longer, it's hard to say what will happen.
"But it's all the same to me anyway."
Yato suddenly laughed.
"It doesn't matter which group I'm assigned to or who my opponents are, as long as I win the final victory."
"I can't pretend I didn't hear that."
Okubo grinned.
"If you're so confident, then I wish you good luck in the first round of the preliminary round, where you'll run into 'Metsudang's Fang'."
Ice Room Ryo's smile was mischievous.
"Thank you for your kind words. I also wish you a clean and decisive victory against Okubo in the first game, so that we can meet in the final."
"That's daring."
Yato and Himuro Ryo reached out and shook hands.
Caught in the middle, Okubo's face darkened. "I said... do you really think I'm a 'comedic character'? I'm the 'absolute king of mixed martial arts'! If you meet me, I'll beat you so badly you'll be running away with your tails between your legs."
"I'll just take that as a lighthearted conversation after dinner."
Yato shrugged.
"Look, someone's on."
"Itomuro Ryo suddenly said."
He didn't need to say anything; Yato had already seen it.
Following Katahara Mitsudo, the second company representative picked up the air gun from the tray.
He is Japan's number one capitalist.
The supreme ruler of the Toyota Group is Izumitsu Toyoda.
"This is the first time I've ever played with something like this."
The man, who resembled a hero, played with the air gun in his hand for a while with great interest, and then aimed the muzzle at the turntable that had already begun to spin rapidly.
Snapped!
The BB was launched and lit up a certain area on the turntable.
"C7?"
The turntable stopped.
Toyota Ichimitsu raised an eyebrow as he saw the number he had shot.
"Oh, I thought it would be a D7."
Hearing his words, many of the company representatives frowned inwardly.
There are suspicions that Idemitsu Toyota, this troublemaker, has seen through the secret behind this machine, allowing him to choose the desired number within a general range.
Perhaps not wanting to be looked down upon by outsiders from "Purgatory," many company representatives stepped forward to give it a try.
Kaguya stood calmly in place, letting them go first.
As time went by, one number after another was selected.
As fewer and fewer numbers remained, the area of the remaining number blocks continued to expand, becoming 'easier to hit', until finally... only five were left.
She finally made her move.
"That's the Shinomiya family..."
"Although she has little experience, she is a very strong fighter and a true dark horse. We don't know which group she will be assigned to. There aren't many options left now."
The owner of [Yiwu Real Estate], a man who looked somewhat sarcastic and mean, said with a sneer: "Her luck is really bad. She waited until now, but no one else has taken 'd7' away. On the contrary, good spots are becoming fewer and fewer."
Beside him, Yamashita Kazuo adjusted his glasses and muttered to himself:
"Is that the owner of the company of the fighter who defeated Mr. Ohma? He's so young, probably still a high school student?"
Ignore the strange looks and whispers around me.
Kaguya calmly walked to the 'shooting position' and picked up the air gun from the tray.
Turn your body to the side with the gun held in one hand, and aim the muzzle at the turntable.
"call……"
She took a deep breath and focused her mind.
His eyes were fixed on the turntable.
"This girl... will definitely be my type in ten years."
In the arena, the man spoke with an air of seriousness.
Wang Ma frowned.
"This situation... could it be..."
Snapped!
Pull the trigger.
The BB gun shot out and accurately hit a certain area.
Everyone looked subconsciously.
Then... his pupils contracted.
"Varied--?!"
Nogi Hideki's composure in the face of imminent collapse has been shattered beyond repair.
He stared in astonishment at the turntable.
Only five sets of numbers remain above.
Each of the four groups abcd has one empty slot, with group b having two empty slots.
Theoretically speaking, the probability of hitting group B is higher.
However, Kaguya's arrow struck the number in Group D that everyone unanimously agreed should be avoided in the early stages.
——d7!
This means that their first opponent will be ranked d8... Metsudou no Kiba!
"..."
Kaguya looked at the number, a victorious smile appearing on her face.
He turned to look at someone standing at the edge of the hall with the fighters.
He silently mouthed the words.
Yato saw it clearly.
That is……
"My task is complete. The rest is up to you."
