17. Hard Drive-Like Memories

Tobio approached Shouyou and said.

"What the hell are you doing? How can you close your eyes when spiking!!"

"Hey, you said I could close my eyes. And I didn't know what else I could do. So I just trusted you!" Shouyou said what was in his mind while scratching his head.

"Isn't it normal that you shouldn't trust other people so easily?"

The match continued. And as Izumi expected, when both of them tried that combo again, they failed. Since they found their combo but haven't fully mastered it, Izumi tried to play it more seriously.

He whispered to Tobio. Tobio asked him.

"Are you sure?"

"Yup. Just let me try it."

Yamaguchi Tadashi served the ball. As usual, Izumi received it, but he immediately ran forward. Tobio tossed the ball as high as he could close to the net line.

Izumi waited for the ball to drop at the right time. If he jumped too high, it would be troublesome. Therefore, he tried to limit the power of his jump.

"Now!"

Then, Izumi jumped. His jump was even able to make his face higher than the net.

Izumi saw Kei already prepared to block his spike. But he smirked. Like a slap, Izumi spiked the ball with a slapping motion aimed at Kei's palm. Because of his movement, the ball spun so fast that Kei couldn't block it, and as soon as the ball hit his palm, the ball immediately bounced off the side of the field.

Everyone was stunned. Not only could he jump that high, but even his spike was done cleverly.

"Oi, oi, seriously!"

"The way he spiked was astonishing."

At that moment, Shouyou approached Izumi and asked.

"Izumi-san, what was that?"

"Hmmm? What do you mean?"

"The way you spiked was like swish, swoosh, and bang!"

"Can you speak human language?"

Then, Daichi said.

"Maybe, he meant the way you spiked. Why did you do it that way?"

"Oh. I meant to use the ball spin technique like when playing billiards. With that technique, an amateur blocker like him definitely can't stop the ball."

"Tch."

Kei was quite annoyed with Izumi's words because what he said seemed to be replying to his provocation before the match started.

Unknowingly, 2 Sets of matches ended with the Shouyou team's victory. However, it seemed Shouyou wasn't satisfied.

Izumi grabbed Shouyou's shoulder.

"Shouyou, Tobio. Can you try that combo once more, I will let you know that your combo won't always work."

Shouyou and Tobio looked at Izumi strangely.

"Are you sure?" Tobio felt that combo was already pretty good.

"Let's go let's go." Shouyou fired up once again.

"Can anyone help them? Two of them need at least 1 receiver."

"Let me." Ryuunosuke stepped forward.

After they were ready.

Izumi served the ball, then ran forward. Ready to block Shouyou's spike.

Ryuunosuke received the ball, and Shouyou ran as fast as he could while avoiding Izumi's position. However, since Izumi had become stronger, how fast Shouyou ran wouldn't escape Izumi's sight. Shouyou jumped while moving away from Izumi. The ball was tossed by Tobio, but Izumi had already jumped in front of Shouyou. Shouyou didn't notice Izumi was already in front of him since he closed his eyes.

*Bam*

Izumi successfully blocked Shouyou's spike and the ball landed on his opposite field.

Everyone was dumbfounded by how fast Izumi reacted to Shouyou's speed and agility. They couldn't believe that such a fast combo could be broken so easily.

"This combo is incredible. But it's still not enough if there's a player with the same speed and agility as you, Shouyou."

Shouyou pondered. He thought that combination was already incredible. But he didn't think that Izumi could stop him on his first try. He didn't know what to do if someone could block his spike as Izumi did.

"Take it easy and think about how to solve that problem!"

Izumi walked to the side of the court. He frowned. Even though his movements were restricted and looked like normal human movements, Izumi couldn't deny that his movements were too much.

He looked at others.

"Everyone, thank you for letting me play together. I have to go back now!"

"Oh, let's play again, next time!"

"You can come here any time!"

Everyone welcomed Izumi even though he was not from their school.

After that, Izumi walked home while holding his phone.

Honestly, he wanted to learn the martial arts he could buy from the shop. But he didn't know which one was suitable for him.

When he was in the Fairy Tail world. He used two Kunais. That meant he could try Twin Daggers Art. However, he felt that he was better at using the Fists Art or Legging Art. He could learn the basic techniques of fists and kicks in a short time. This made him uncertain.

If possible, he wanted to learn all martial arts. Be it a sword, dagger, staff, hidden weapon, etc.

"Wait a moment! The sword and blade should be the same. Why should there be sword arts and blade arts?"

Izumi just realized. Swords were a type of blade, so it is strange to distinguish the two.

"Should I learn them all?"

But then.

"Damn. I didn't know I needed an internal skill either."

If he wanted to learn a martial art, such as sword art, he also had to learn an internal skill suitable for sword art.

"What a headache. I can only learn it later. At the very least, I already have the basic skills of modern martial arts."

Honestly, Izumi wanted to learn all of them. However, he didn't know if he had any talent in weapons. So, he was hesitating as to whether he could learn it all or otherwise.

Arriving at home, Izumi relaxes in the room. Since he couldn't learn the martial arts available in the Dimensional Shop, he decided to learn Ninjutsu.

Luckily he had a memory like a hard drive. So, considering all the Jutsu, even hand seals are an easy matter for him.
