Chapter 107 The Loose Limiter
"Why don't you speed up? If you come in last, I will be eaten by my concubine~"
The Quetzalcoatl followed the unlicensed knight unhurriedly From behind, it spit out long snake messages from time to time to scare the two-legged beast in front of it.
Originally, he thought that he would not be able to 'play' with the two-legged beasts until the last few laps. Unexpectedly, one of these two-legged beasts was particularly weak and was left in last place early.
“Damn it! I won’t fall down in a place like this!”
The unlicensed knight gritted his teeth, roared and sped up his running speed. More than ten kilometers was not a difficult challenge for him, but the problem was that he had to ensure that he was not the last one.
“Asshole! I don’t want to be eaten by a snake!”
Running in front of the unlicensed knight was the 77th-ranked Bone in Class B. He saw the crane chasing behind him. Coming up, Gu, who was wearing a skull-patterned tights, took out a bottle of milk from nowhere and drank it with a gulp, speeding up by 30%.
Not only did he get rid of the unlicensed knight, he also caught up with the mountain monkey running in front of him.
"Asshole...have you caught up with me already?"
Watching the undocumented knight trying his best to catch up, the Fubuki team's Yamazaru almost wet his pants in fear.
The last one will be fed to a snake. Even if they know that the Speedy Flash is unlikely to act randomly, who can guarantee that the scary-looking big snake really won't eat people?
The unlicensed knight who fell at the back tried hard to catch up with the mountain monkey in front. The rules set by Porusalino were very simple. As long as he didn't fall to the last place, there would be no problem.
Theoretically, as long as everyone takes turns being the tail of the crane and controls the time well, there will be no danger at all.
But no one dares to guarantee that when they fall to the last place, they can still catch up with others.
It's a very simple prisoner's dilemma. As long as one person doesn't want to end up in last place, the remaining people have to start rolling up.
"Asshole! What are you doing running so fast!"
"Save your energy! It's not that easy to run twenty laps, so don't fight!"
"How dare you say that! I didn't see you slowing down and waiting for me!"
......
The heroes soon realize something is wrong!
However, when the first person started to roll the book, the remaining people had to open the book too.
Even those heroes who thought they had sufficient physical strength and were confident enough to persevere, consciously or unconsciously, began to speed up their pace in an attempt to achieve a better result.
Although the speedster didn't say anything about the benefits of running fast, it is always right to try to behave as well as possible.
Especially when many heroes find that their competitors who are ranked above them are now left behind by them, that secretly refreshing feeling prompts them to continue to speed up.
And those heroes who were surpassed by guys ranked lower than themselves were also very unhappy. Do these bastards really think that others can't catch up with them?
“Why are they running so fast?”
Seeing the heroes chasing each other, even though they are on such a simple training ground, they still run at speeds that are infinitely close to their own limits. , Fubuki asked in shock.
The fast runner is fighting for the first place, while the slow runner is desperately trying to avoid being last. Only the feathered snake is following behind leisurely, and it can use the unique perception ability of snakes in Longdi Cave. , to determine the general state of the prey.
The best time to have fun is when these two-legged beasts have run the last few laps and are exhausted.
"Probably because they love running."
Polusalino sat comfortably on the beach chair, and the snow blowing team members beside him had prepared cold drinks and snacks.
Even the heroes are no different from the cadets of the naval academy. It is easy to get them to roll up.
"Is this kind of training really effective? And if they run twenty laps at their speed, I'm afraid not many people can persist to the end, right?"
Fubuki sat down in Polusari As for Nobian, she herself was physically weak, but that didn't affect her ability to roughly estimate Lily's physical ability.
Even if those heroes are much stronger than Lily, there are limits after all. Even if they really persevere, how much physical strength will they still have to accept subsequent training?
Fubuki knew how devilish the special training arranged by Porusalino was. She originally thought about asking Porusalino to arrange it for her through the back door, but after taking a look at the special training course, she made a decisive choice. gave up.
People with super powers should have their own fighting style. She has no interest in the Sixth Marine Style!
"Don't underestimate them. Each of these guys has at least two hundred strength... Oh, the cyclist may be a little bit worse, but as long as he is willing to work hard, he will probably be able to persevere."
Polusalino basically copied the naval school training course, but tripled the training intensity.
However, considering that the heroes have a good foundation, three times the training intensity should still be within their tolerance.
If it weren’t for the fact that this is another world, even if the training course is leaked, it will not affect the interests of the navy. Porusalino would not easily come up with such a good thing.
"If you can complete the special training and learn the Sixth Marine Style you mentioned, how strong can you become?"
Fubuki was a little hesitant, but considering that Porusalino is another A big shot in the world.
And he is even stronger than his sister, so his judgment should be more accurate.
Seeing that the members of Fubuki's team were still running, except for Yamazaru who was about to fall to the last place, the rest could still continue to persevere. While Fubuki was relieved, he was also a little curious.
"If you fully master the Sixth Marine Style, you can almost touch the edge of an S-class hero. If your talent is good enough, you should be able to compete with that inexplicable guy just now."
波Russalino touched his chin and gave an answer that shocked Fubuki.
Just by learning the Sixth Form of the Navy, you are qualified to become an S-class hero, and you can even compete with Sweetheart Mask!
When did S-class heroes become so cheap?
There are only sixteen S-class heroes in the association. Even if uncrowned kings like Sweetheart Mask are included, there will not be more than twenty heroes with S-class strength.
But now Porusalino claims that as long as he learns the six naval styles, he can have the strength of an S-class hero. This is too exaggerated!
“You don’t think it’s easy to learn the Sixth Form of the Marines, do you?”
Seeing Fubuki’s hesitant expression, Porusalino said with a smile. .
Learning the Sixth Form of the Navy will give you strength comparable to that of an S-class hero, but the prerequisite is that you can learn it well.
Not to mention a crash course like Porusalino’s.
Even among the students from the Naval Academy and the CP organization, there are still many people who have practiced for several years but have not learned even one move.
Of course, there are very few extreme examples. Under normal circumstances, you can learn a few tricks after practicing for several years.
As for Fubuki’s imagination of being an S-class hero who mastered the Sixth Form of the Navy after taking a crash course for a month, we can only say that Rob is known as the strongest person in the 800 years of ‘CP9’ ·Lucci was afraid that he would faint from crying in the toilet.
It also took geniuses like Lucci nearly ten years to initially master the Sixth Form of the Navy, unless they already had a strong foundation before learning, such as the original Porusalino or the one-punch world's Saitama.
For strong men like them, the Sixth Form of the Navy is more of an icing on the cake. It is undoubtedly too much to say that there will be any qualitative changes after learning it.
"Huffing... Huffing... are we almost reaching the limit..."
The undocumented knight only felt as if his heart might jump out of his mouth at any time, and every breath required I tried my best, but I still felt suffocated.
"You have been the last one for more than a minute. Can I eat you?"
The voice of the feathered snake rang in the ears of the unlicensed knight, perhaps because of his slowness. Because he got used to it slowly, the unlicensed knight actually felt that the voice of the feathered snake had a soft and cute sound.
But as soon as he saw the huge snake head that was several times bigger than a heavy truck, any illusion he had would completely disappear.
To put it bluntly, with a small body like his, it seems just right to fill the gap between the teeth of this big snake...?
“Damn it...I won’t...I won’t fall down in a place like this!”
The vision in front of me has begun to blur, and even my breathing has become blurry. There was a faint smell of blood, but the unlicensed knight who was on the verge of reaching his limit suddenly broke out and began to rush forward desperately.
Even if he fails to pass the test in the end, he will still fall on the way forward!
"This is impossible! How could that guy still catch up..."
The mountain monkey of the Fubuki Group was also almost out of breath. The only thing that reassured him was that there was a support behind him.
However, just as he was struggling to hold on, he found that the unlicensed knight who had been behind him started to speed up again.
The heroes running in front also complained endlessly. Although the unlicensed knight and the mountain monkey could not threaten their ranking, the other heroes who were forced by the unlicensed knight and the mountain monkey to speed up were all their competitors.
The competition that had finally come to an end due to physical factors started again. At this time, the heroes running in the first echelon were less than one-third of the distance from completing twenty laps.
However, their physical strength was exhausted in the acceleration again and again. Even the most physically fit ones had less than one-third left.
It’s a good thing that the heroes who can participate in the training camp are not ordinary people. Otherwise, after running twenty laps and nearly a hundred kilometers, it will be a question of whether they can still breathe.
"Hey! Qingyan, do you think the training of Speed Flash is really useful? If you can become stronger by running to death like this, there will be S-class heroes all over the streets!"
The magician running in the first echelon felt that he was about to die, but as the seventh-ranked hero in the A-level, he could not leave the first echelon and could only grit his teeth and hold on.
Otherwise, let those heroes who are not ranked as good as him run to the front, God knows what these people will say about him behind his back.
"It will be much easier if you don't speak. Even if it's just for the name of Speedy Flash, I'm willing to give it a try. If you think it doesn't work, you can quit."
Qing Yan, ranked 6th in A-level, is the leader of all heroes. The easiest among them all. Even when A-level heroes are all competing against each other, few can threaten his first place.
As a comparison, the magician was already out of breath, but the expression on Qing Yan's face did not change much from beginning to end, as if running twenty laps would not be a problem.
“Don’t be ridiculous, if you quit at this time, wouldn’t it be a waste of time!”
The magician gritted his teeth. He also wanted to believe in the lightning speed like Qing Yan, but he couldn’t believe it. Looking at Porusalino sitting on a beach chair basking in the sun with a beautiful woman accompanying him, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
We are all heroes, so why should they have to run hard and be chased by a big snake, but they can flash so fast but they can lie on a beach chair and bask in the sun with a beautiful woman?
"Magic Master is right! Let's work hard together!"
The only one who can still be so energetic at this time is the leader Mizuki wearing a competition swimsuit, ranked 71st B-level hero.
As the only B-level hero in the first echelon, the performance of the leader Mizuki also surprised many A-level heroes.
At this time, they more or less understood why the association headquarters believed that the leader Mizuki had the potential to become an S-class hero.
Hearing the voice of General Mizuki, the expressionless Qingyan's mouth twitched slightly.
If anyone has the ability to compete with him for the first place, it is probably this energetic girl.
“Wait a minute, why did the guys behind suddenly start accelerating again?”
The crescent moon eyebrows who had fallen to the end of the first echelon couldn’t help but exclaimed, and ran to the present The heroes all have a rough estimate of their own limits.
Considering that running laps is only the first step of the training course, and some physical strength needs to be left to cope with the following training, after confirming that it is unlikely that they can surpass the first-tier heroes, most heroes have the consciousness The ground begins to maintain a fixed speed to save energy.
But now, as the two guys at the end of the crane started to speed up again, the heroes in front who didn't want to be last had to speed up, and the pressure gradually spread to the heroes in the first echelon.
“I’m going to speed up too.”
I don’t know if she was talking to herself or someone else, but Qing Yan still had several laps to run before the finish line. , and speeded up again.
Although Speedy Flash has never mentioned any additional rewards for first place, the competitive spirit still drives the heroes to instinctively compete for the first place.
“Then let’s rush together! Seniors!”
The Lord lit up Mizuki's eyes!
She enjoys this competitive atmosphere, being able to compete on the same stage with many seniors. Even if there is no training effect promised by Speedy Flash, the leader Mizuki is still willing to come.
"I'm really crazy to come to this training camp!"
The magic hand couldn't help but cursed, but his body still honestly accelerated with Qing Yan.
After all, he is also the A-level hero ranked second only to Qing Yan among the heroes present. How can he be left behind by others!
The heroes who were running desperately didn't realize that their speed had exceeded the previous limit before they knew it.
It was such a simple training ground, and most of the people's physical strength was almost exhausted, but because of the competition between them, they ran faster than the limit.
"Hiss... It's really weird, the two-legged beast seems to be running faster and faster..." The feathered snake was still following the team slowly as before, but what made it confused was that , the 'prey' that is clearly on the verge of the limit in its perception is still accelerating.
What makes the Quetzalcoatl particularly unhappy is that the slowest two-legged beast has now caught up with the slightly larger two-legged beast.
Two guys who were originally very slow are now chasing each other. If no one stays in last place for more than a minute, it can't use them to have fun.
"The limiter is loose? Is it because of competition, or is it because of me, an outsider?"
Polusalino, who was lying on the beach chair, suddenly opened his eyes, somewhat He looked in the direction of the training ground in confusion.
In his domineering perception, an incredible change is taking place in the heroes running around.
The 'lock' that exists on everyone in the One Punch World, the limiter that prevents them from going any further once they reach the limit, has become slightly loose at this time.
However, this loosening only increases the upper limit of the lock by less than one percent. It is naturally far from the bald head who completely opens the limiter. But when it comes to these heroes who are still very 'weak', This is already a leap forward.
The heroes who were still running desperately were not aware of this change. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the finish line, even the heroes who had no hope of getting a higher ranking were also looking at other heroes. Driven by the atmosphere of people scrambling for the first place, they unconsciously tried their best.
"Huh? Not bad, someone has finished running so quickly."
By the time Porusalino, who was closing his eyes to rest, was awakened by Fubuki, nearly a third of the time had already passed One of the heroes completed twenty laps of 'warm-up exercise'.
Except for Qing Yan and the leader Mizuki, who still had some room to spare, most of the heroes were already on the verge of reaching their limits, both physically and mentally, after barely completing the twenty-lap training course.
"Are we still going to continue training? I think they all look like they are about to die..."
Fubuki is now extremely glad that he did not act stupidly. Porusalino's training camp is simply a deadly thing. .
The mountain monkey, who usually looks very strong and reliable, is still hanging at the back of the team, competing with the C-level first place for the penultimate throne.
Twelve members of the entire Fubuki team participated in the training camp. So far, only Eyelash, who is ranked second in Class B, and Lily, who is ranked fifth, have completed the goal of twenty laps.
But this already made Fubuki very satisfied. Except for Eyelashes and Lily, the only B-level heroes who had reached the end were the main generals Mizuki and Point Star, and the rest were all A-level heroes.
To say that the strength of the mountain monkey is not much inferior to that of the eyelashes, but his size hinders him. If there is not an unlicensed knight at the bottom, he will definitely occupy the last place.
Currently, most of the heroes are still working hard on the track, and some people have begun to fail to plan their physical strength well, running to exhaustion and collapsing less than two kilometers from the finish line.
"Of course we have to continue. Now is the time to break through the limits. Maybe among these heroes, there is really someone who can learn the complete six moves..."
Polu Salino looked at the commander Mizuki in a swimsuit with some surprise. This girl's physical recovery speed was a bit exaggerated. Even in the naval academy, she was considered a good prospect, the kind who could lure old man Zefa out of class.
Qing Yan, who finished first, still hasn’t changed much on the surface, except that his breathing is slightly rapid. But in Porusalino’s perception, Qing Yan is no better than other heroes who have finished the race. How much better the condition is.
If they were allowed to continue running, maybe Qingyan could last one or two more laps, but there was absolutely no way he could finish the third lap. His physical strength had bottomed out. Even if the 'limiter' seemed to be loosened, it would only improve his strength. The growth limit is high, and there is no possibility of seed explosion.
On the other hand, the leader, Mizuki, was very tired when she just reached the finish line, but now she was already laughing and cheering for the other heroes.
Don't even think about running one or two more laps, even after three or four laps, don't expect to push her to her limit.
“Are you interested in that girl?”
Fubuki followed Porusalino’s line of sight and saw the cheering general Mizuki. sense of crisis.
According to everyone's private evaluation of Porusalino in the chat group, this guy is still a standard playboy, if not a scumbag.
Although the muscular appearance of the main character Mizuki does not fit in with most people's aesthetics of girls, it is undeniable that her energetic type is also very attractive in the eyes of some people. .
"Well, this girl has great potential. If she were in my world, she would probably be specially recruited into the naval academy."
Polusalino is a pity.
Except for the group members of the dimensional chat group, humans in other worlds cannot travel through the chat group.
If possible, if we find more talented children like Lord Commander Mizuki and bring them to the pirate world, Porusalino won't need to worry about the future of the navy.
So far, only Orochimaru in the group has found a loophole and sent the snakes from Ryūchi Cave to work in other worlds.
Also, Porusalino, who was so idle, ran around and lay down for several times, and only he dared to go to other worlds so unscrupulously.
It was Haihara Ai and Fubuki. Even though their relationship was as good as best friends, they still didn't dare to head to each other's world rashly.
It's not because they don't trust each other, but because they are instinctively afraid of the unfamiliar world. After all, there are only a few people who are brave in arts such as Porusalino and Esdeath.
As a traveler in the Devouring Starry Sky World, the passerby also knew the world of the group members very well, but he did not dare to run into the One Punch World like Porusalino without any scruples.
"Does it have great potential..."
Fubuki subconsciously looked at the general Mizuki. She had seen Porusalino's true strength 'with her own eyes'.
Does that girl have such potential that even Porusalino, who is stronger than her sister, can't help but admire her?
Maybe she should consider recruiting the leader Mizuki to join the Fubuki team, so that in the future the Fubuki team will have two S-class heroes.
"Compared with those two guys Sakaski and Kuzan, it's definitely not that good, but it's better than Vivian... Oh, Vivian is a giant girl under my command, and she is now a lieutenant general in this department. The best one... you can think of him as being similar to the dragon-level monster that day."
Porusalino scratched his head.
Actually, Vivian is still far behind compared to the Vaccine Man, but among the people he has encountered in the One Punch World, she is the closest in strength to Vivian.
"So powerful?"
Fubuki couldn't believe it. Although the damage caused by the Vaccine Man was not too serious compared to other dragon-level disasters, that was mainly because its target was The headquarters of the Hero Association, and before he could start a killing spree, he was instantly killed by Porusalino on the spot.
But even so, the aftermath of the Vaccine Man's attack reduced nearly one-fifth of City A to rubble, and this was still the result of dozens of heroes constantly blocking it.
At this time, Fubuki looked at the commander Mizuki who was cheering loudly on the edge of the runway. He could not imagine the scene of this girl becoming an S-class hero.
"But the upper limit for just learning the Sixth Marine Style is not too high. If she can have a good Devil Fruit, she might be able to compete with your sister in the future..."
Porusalino smiled and gave Fubuki a suggestive look. As long as Fubuki could bring his leader Mizuki into Fubuki's team, even without Porusalino in the future, Fubuki's team would be able to secure its position as the largest faction in the Heroes Association. .
Of course, the premise is that Fubuki is willing to exchange the devil fruit for the leader Mizuki. After all, Porusalino only gave the group members a discounted price for the first devil fruit.
With Fubuki's net worth, if he gave his first Devil Fruit to his general Mizuki, it would probably take a long time to exchange it for a Devil Fruit that didn't have a discounted price.
The pros and cons of this can only be weighed by Fubuki himself, whether he wants to become stronger himself or strengthen Fubuki's team.
Fubuki naturally understood Porusalino's hint. If possible, she naturally wanted to impress her sister Tatsumaki.
Fubuki is also very self-aware of her own qualifications. Unless Porusalino chooses a particularly powerful Devil Fruit for her, she will never be able to catch up with Tatsumaki in this life.
“I’ll go chat with her first!”
Fubuki quickly made a decision, pursed her lips and walked towards the general Mizuki.
It just so happens that the leader Mizuki is still a B-class hero, so it is not impossible to win her over to join Fubuki's team, especially behind Fubuki there is Speedy Flash, the newly promoted 9th S-class hero.
Of course, the follow-up depends on whether Fubuki can control the main general Mizuki.
However, considering that most heroes are actually guys with relatively simple personalities, Fubuki's probability of success is still quite high.
Seeing this, Porusalino also nodded secretly. As the leader of the Fubuki Group, Fubuki’s decision-making ability and courage are quite good. Otherwise, it would be impossible to develop the Fubuki Group into the largest faction in the Heroes Association. valve.
It's a pity that her strength limits the development level of Fubuki Team. If Fubuki had the same strength as Tatsumaki, there would be no need to limit the recruitment of only B-level heroes to join Fubuki Team.
Fortunately, Fubuki now has an alternative idea. It doesn't matter if her own strength is not strong enough. As long as she can recruit strong enough team members, she can make up for Fubuki's team's lack of combat power.
"Let me think about what I want them to do next...Tsk, why are there guys looking for trouble?"
Polusalino took a sip of cold drink.
Suddenly he frowned and looked in the direction of the training camp gate speechlessly.
He could use his remaining integrity to swear that he really just came to the world for a vacation, leaving enough time for Orochimaru, Tony Stark and Haibara Ai to study pure gold.
Even the opening of the training camp was just a whim of Porusalino. He had just experienced a series of battles on top of the war, and even Polusalino wanted to stop for a while.
But the more Porusalino didn’t want to cause trouble, the more trouble came to him.
First there was the tornado, then the Sweetheart Mask, and now here comes another unknown guy. Let’s just treat him as an internet celebrity attraction and check in, right?
At this time, outside the gate of the training ground, a man wearing a gorgeous metal armor tights and a cape, with long hair and a handsome face, was looking at this simple training camp indifferently.
When 'Flash Flash' came out of his training place and went to the Hero Association to ask about the newly promoted S-class hero Speed Flash, he unexpectedly learned that Speed Flash had opened a training camp.
As a victim who was sold to a ninja village by his parents since he was a child and received extremely cold-blooded and cruel assassination training, the flashy Flash instinctively viewed all training camps with suspicion and rejection.
Originally, Porusalino's title of hero offended him, but now seeing this simple training camp with his own eyes reminded Flash of his bad experience.
"Super fast flash...let me see with my own eyes who you are!"
The flashing Flash drew out his sword without any hesitation, and saw countless swords In a flash of light, the large iron gate of the training camp was chopped into countless pieces of broken iron.
'Clang, clang, clang, clang...'
The sound of the iron door being smashed into pieces and falling to the ground immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the training camp.
Unlike Porusalino, the newly promoted S-class hero, who was ranked 13th in S-class and now fell to 14th due to Porusalino, Flash Flash is in The reputation of the Heroes Association is quite high.
If it weren’t for the fact that he rarely took the initiative to deal with weirdos, and his accumulated merits were not high enough, he would never have been ranked 14th in the S class.
In fact, even if his strength is not ranked among the top five in the Hero Association, it is definitely not much worse. Before Porusalino arrived, the shining Flash was the number one in the Hero Association. A miraculous speed.
"That guy is... Flash Flash? Why does he appear here?"
"The person who came here is evil. They won't fight later, right?"
"No. I've heard of the grudge between Flash Flash and Speedy Flash!"
...
The heroes who had reached the end showed curious expressions. For them, S Everything about the super hero seems so mysterious.
Especially Flash, who is rarely seen even among S-class heroes.
Occasionally heroes have seen him, but they have rarely had much dealings with Flash Flash.
"Super fast flash!"
The flashing eyes of Flash quickly fell on Porusalino beside the track. After just one glance at him, he couldn't help but frown.
Everyone else in the training camp is training hard.
As for those who had reached the finish line, it was not difficult to tell from his perspective that they had just completed a fairly heavy amount of training.
Only Porusalino, who was lying on the beach chair from beginning to end, lazily motionless, stood out.
“It’s me, who are you?”
Polusalino yawned. He could still have protagonists and supporting characters with obvious characteristics like Saitama and Tatsumaki. As for the impression of Flash, it can only be said to be better than that of a mere passerby, but I really can’t remember who this guy is.
