Tamago, who was sitting next to Chiba Shiori was also shocked, she knew that Chiba Shiori was a novelist. Chiba Shiori had even asked her strange questions before.

However, because the new book was discussed with Yuriko, Chiba Shiori did not reveal much to her. Only now did Tamago knew that she was writing a new book and at a rate of 10,000 words a day!

This was way too terrifying.

Chiba Shiori also found out that Akino was actually ‘Cool Autumn Leaf’ on Twitter, who did some advertisement recommending Chiba Shiori. Upon realizing that Akino was here in person, Chiba Shiori quickly thanked her.

Akino’s lifted her chin, “It’s mainly because your book was too good. I wouldn’t have recommended it if it weren’t.”

Akino recommended the book on Twitter, and the result was undeniably remarkable. After all, she had millions of followers.

In addition to being ranked first in the story updating rate, her book was also the best new arrival book. Since then, it had received a lot of attention.

It should be known that just because there are frequent updates, it does not mean that the novel would be popular. For novels, the quality was still the most crucial aspect.

However, the novel ‘Loading File Of Tokyo’ was well received from the beginning.

Because many readers were tired of similar stories where the main character uses mind-reading ability to pursue their love interest, so the sudden introduction of a book about committing crimes through mind-reading ability was an eye-opener.

Besides, Chiba Shiori was good at this kind of subject and would not run out of ideas. Now with hundreds of thousands of words in, the main character had gradually begun to develop, gaining more intellect with every death, along with new signs of changes to his personality. This satisfaction from seeing the character’s growth was praised by many readers.

In fact, there were a lot of paperback publishers contacting her lately, but they were only offering to publish her book and not for any manga or anime adaptation... Therefore, Chiba Shiori was not in a hurry. After all, there were only a few hundred thousand words and about two volumes. She had decided on the plot’s climax in her mind, and it should emerge in around the fourth volume. She was confident that by then, it would capture the attention of many animation studios. Time passed in the course of their conversation, and the Sakura Kyu High School Women’s Team competition had also begun.

Before this, Kimura Kazuki had not only trained Harunaka. He also conducted a few special training on the Women’s Team members of the Kendo Association. After the special training, he found that this Women’s Team’s members, which were made up of freshmen, were quite competent, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

This was because he knew that the team event was a five-person competition, if others were not capable, Harunaka alone could not keep up with 1V5! Not to mention that the other schools also had relatively strong female players.

Perhaps, the opponents were weaker in the first round of the Women’s Team. The game was over even before Harunaka had her turn, similar to his.

Just after the Sakura Kyu High School’s Women’s Team, there came a loud commotion from the next door Area A arena. Everyone was curious about it, and they soon received the news.

They came to know that for the first time in District A, there was a school that had one contestant winning against five opponents, and the name of the school was Yuki Gyo High School. The student who beat five opponents on his own was named Kageyama Ichiro, and the opposing school was Akihide High School.

Chiba Shiori and Tamago looked at each other in dismay before both of them bid farewell to Kimura Kazuki. After all, they came together with their school team, now that Akihide High School had suffered total defeat, they should not be staying here.

Soon the Women’s Team competition in District B was over...

At noon, everyone ate out. However, the team bearer Mr. Matsumura was grim-faced.

Cautiously, he said, “I investigated District A Men’s Group of Yuki Gyo High School, they are a high school in a rural area. In the past, they couldn’t even get five people to participate. This year they got five contestants, and also...” He stopped, his expression strange before he continued, “The Senpou who competed 1V5 was a student called Kageyama Ichiro, the Jihou is called Kageyama Saburo, the Chuuken was called Kageyama Goro... Followed by Kageyama Shichiro and Kageyama Kuro...”

The names were clearly not a coincidence.

Hearing the names of these five people, Kimura Kazuki was startled, but after some thought, he stopped caring about it.

The other students were even more grim-faced... These five names were clearly from the same family. If Kageyama Ichiro was able to 1V5, what about the other four people? While thinking, they looked at Kimura-san and saw that he looked unperturbed... Seeing this, their solemn face also relaxed a little. They had seen the capability of Kimura Kazuki. Kageyama Ichiro was strong, but he could not beat Kimura-san.

The Women’s Team was more relaxed because there was clearly no superior team in District B, they managed to deal with all of them.

At 1pm, the competition in District A started again.

As the news of the morning’s game where Yuki Gyo High School’s Kageyama Ichiro won 1V5 against Akihide High School had spread about, the District A arena was filled to the brim with spectators. Everyone was here to watch this strong high school team that appeared out of nowhere.

Chiba Shiori and Tamago were also present. At first, Tamago had not wanted to come and watch. Why would she want to watch Yuki Gyo High School get a sweeping victory? Thinking of it made her sick, but Chiba Shiori dragged her over, and she could only follow helplessly.

Aside from Chiba Shiori and Tamago, Natsui had also snuck over.

She had wanted to ask the members in her group to come to cheer for Senpai, but after hearing the capability of Yuki Gyo High School, she hesitated. What if Senpai loses? Most of them would not be able to make it in time since they were told at such short notice, so she gave up on the thought. She still came to watch. If he won, she would organize for the members to go over and cheer on Senpai in his next game.

The afternoon’s game was smooth sailing. The overall strength of Area A could only be said as moderate. He had seen videos of the competition from last year and the year before. Of course, this was by ruling out the case of Yuki Gyo High School.

For five rounds, Kimura Kazuki only went up twice.

Once was against Bunkei High School, the opponent was considered this year’s seed team. However, they were eliminated after going against Kimura Kazuki. This also allowed the audience to see the strength of Sakura Kyu High School. After all, Bunkyo High School was the seed team in District A. Another one was against Iwai Hokuto as the Fukushou who made a mistake and was defeated with a single blow.

Even though Sakura Kyu High School advanced steadily, they still could not compare to the level of attention Yuki Gyo High School was gaining. This was because, throughout the afternoon, Kageyama Ichiro of Yuki Gyo High School kept winning 1 versus 5, mowing down school after school... All eyes were focused on Yuki Gyo High School.

However, in the third and fourth games, Kageyama Ichiro withdrew first.

Everyone was puzzled but soon came to a realization. Was he taking a break, reserving his energy to deal with the final competition?

As for Kageyama Saburo, who was the Jihou, his performance was also an eye-opener for the audience!

Most people have thought that Kageyama Ichiro was the more powerful member while the rest were to fill in numbers. However, in the fourth and fifth games, the other two schools were also mowed down by Kageyama Saburo impressively.

Yuki Gyo High School... At this moment their popularity reached a peak.

Some of the contestants who would be competing tomorrow came over and watched the fight, and seeing this, all were grim-faced.

“Round 6, No. 1 Sakura Kyu High School vs. No. 16 Yuki Gyo High School.”

As long as Yuki Gyo High School wins this game, they would dominate all of District A. Everyone held their breath in anticipation of the game.

In their opinion, Sakura Kyu High School was also strong, though they appear to be about just the same as other high schools.

The audience at the scene knew that they would witness the rise of Yuki Gyo High School.

Perhaps... for this year’s Jade Dragon Flag Competition, the champion might be Yuki Gyo High School...

There was no other because Yuki Gyo High School was seen as the strongest to the audience.

Up till now, they had yet to see the appearance of Kageyama Goro, Shichiro, and Kuro in a fight. The strength of these three people were still unknown, which was a rare occurrence in the past.
