Chapter 81 - Stream Chat
"Rena won't get a turn, is that okay?"
"Yeah!!"
The viewers who had been watching Hayate's streams for a long time were getting hyped. They knew that Fighting Spirit Release was just for show, but they didn't seem to care.
Questions arose from the former FWO players who hadn't been watching Hayate's streams.
Both his struggling against the monsters and his subsequent rampage looked so real, thanks to his perfect acting, that it seemed like he had genuinely been powered up. Above all, Hayate's gallant figure when he used Fighting Spirit Release was captivating to many viewers.
At that moment, Hayate, surrounded by the monster horde, swung his Manipulators with all his might. A space cleared around him. In the center of it, Hayate took his stance.
"Fighting Spirit, Release!"
A red aura danced around Hayate.
He truly loved the four-sword style and wanted to spread it. After long consideration of how to fight in a way that viewers would find cool, Hayate had arrived at this answer.
Now that dungeons had appeared in the world, he had succeeded in captivating people across the globe.
Trying to act out his powered-up state, Hayate swung his sword a little harder than usual.
At that moment, he had intended to use only his strength as a typical high school student, channeling the maximum power of his Manipulators to attack the surrounding humanoid monsters.
But instead.
<…Huh?>
Despite not using a skill, the sword, swung faster than the speed of sound, created a sonic boom. It sent the countless monsters that were about to attack Hayate flying far into the distance.
Hayate himself stared with a surprised expression at the monsters that had been blown away.
The viewers who didn't know any better were excited, thinking this was normal.
Meanwhile, the viewers who knew the old Fighting Spirit Release were confused and had gone quiet.
Just as several veteran fans were about to explain Hayate's Fighting Spirit Release, an announcement echoed across the world.
[As a select player has completed a special quest, the "Fighting Spirit Release System" will now be unlocked.]
<…Hey, seriously.>
The quick-witted viewers figured that "a select player" referred to Hayate, and that the Fighting Spirit Release he used had just been implemented into the real world. Indeed, Hayate had just blown away monsters with superhuman strength.
As for Hayate himself, he stared at his own sword-wielding arms for a moment, then did a few practice swings.
"Everyone, I have good news. It looks like we can really use Fighting Spirit Release starting today!"
He began his commentary in his usual manner.
Many voices expressed concern. But such worries were unnecessary.
He was the young man to whom the leader of the Iga ninja had granted the sole scroll of full mastership. He was not one to lose control just because his physical abilities had doubled.
"I'll take some time later to explain how to get used to this state."
Hayate turned his eyes to his targets. The humanoid monsters that had swarmed the enemy he needed to eliminate noticed the intense aura emanating from Hayate directed at them. Their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, and they found themselves unable to attack Hayate. They were forced to understand that they were the ones being hunted.
"Today, my girlfriend wishes for a rampage, so."
The monster closest to Hayate tried to flee, turning around, but its path was blocked by its comrades.
"I'll be letting loose!!"
Hayate's onslaught began.
A single swing of his sword sent dozens of monsters flying. The ground cracked under his one step, and several enemies vanished into the fissures below. Some monsters tried to attack with magic from a distance, but Hayate closed the gap in an instant and sliced them in two with his sword.
It had already become ingrained in people's minds that this much was to be expected from Hayate.
Some viewers voiced their disbelief, but they were gradually swept up by the reactions of those around them.
'It's Hayate, so it can't be helped.'
'For Hayate, this is normal.'
'Hayate, operating as usual.'
By the time he had annihilated the monsters on the second floor, the stream's comment section was flooded with such remarks.
