There is still an hour left until the preliminary round (10:00).

At the place where Claire and Hill agreed upon. Claire looked at Hill's teammates and felt inexplicably complicated in her heart.

He never expected that Hill's teammate turned out to be a former American boxing champion Mitch Rogers. (As for who exactly this Mickey is, check out Fist of the Dragon Tiger.) ）

This Mickey looked at Claire, who was half a head shorter than him, and didn't introduce himself, and said to Hill with a big grin: "You kid is too useless, you will lose in one move." Watch your brother teach him a lesson. ”

With that, the American boxer with a shoehorn head threw off the coat he was wearing, revealing the white vest inside his coat.

Mitch looked at Claire defiantly, and after he assumed a fighting stance, he stretched out his hand and hooked: "Come on!" ”

Claire looked at the American boxer who was provoking him with a blank face, and had already secretly made a decision in her heart: Since you asked, then don't blame me.

Hill sat on the bench next to him, holding a fan in his hand that he didn't know where to get and fanning himself, as if watching a play.

Mickey and Claire didn't bother to pay attention to him, they were both staring at each other, but Mickey was moving from side to side, like a hunter looking for a flaw in his prey and then making a move.

Claire just turned to face Mickey, leaving no space for Mickey at all.

Finally, Mickey no longer just revolves around Claire, he seems to have been unable to resist launching a strong attack on Claire, no way, who let Claire not show him a flaw.

Mitch tentatively unleashed a left hook at Claire, and if Claire made a hard pick or dodge, he could judge Claire's grappling style and quickly unleash a quick right hook combo.

But Claire was no easy one, and he didn't care about Mickey's hook, and he turned sideways head-on and slammed into Mickey with his shoulder.

After seeing Claire's way of coping, Mitch quickly withdrew his fist and jumped to the side, it seems that he has learned from Hill that Claire has something strange about him, so Mitch does not plan to be tough, but intends to use grappling to exhaust Claire's physical strength.

Don't look at Mickey's well-developed limbs and tall horses, in fact, his fighting wisdom is not low, otherwise why would he win the boxing championship.

Therefore, after Mitch saw that Claire was slower to collect and less agile than himself, he began to jump sideways repeatedly, increasing the distance between his movements.

Claire looked at the jumping boxer in front of him, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and then Claire moved, he did not move slowly as Mickey imagined, but kicked hard with his right leg that originally seemed to be stationed on the ground, and then quickly folded his left leg on the ground in front of him, which was another kind of lunge.

When Mitch saw Claire rushing towards him quickly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he had no choice but to shoot. The body quickly half-squats, and then a toppercut is quickly struck from the bottom up.

Mickey's abacus was a good one, but unfortunately Claire's center instantly descended, like an accelerated snow plow, shoveling Mickey's heel with his right leg.

With a muffled "tom", Mickey's center of gravity suddenly fell forward with Claire's sliding tackle. However, Claire's action was not over, he took advantage of the momentum of the forward rush, supported the ground with both hands, and kicked Mickey in the air with his feet again, which was Claire's new special kill - the Gyrotron Rocket.

Mickey's tall figure flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. Fortunately, Hill, who saw that the situation was wrong, arrived in time and caught the falling Mickey, otherwise Mickey would have fallen to the hospital, so wouldn't this preliminaries be yellow?

Mitch slowly stood up with the help of Hill, holding the place that had just been kicked by Claire's flying kick, and there was no more insolence in his eyes.

But fortunately, Claire didn't use all her strength, otherwise the strength of these two attacks would not just kick Mickey away.

Claire saw the obedient appearance of the two people in front of her, and her heart was inexplicably cool: Call you a fucking pretending to be X, now it's cool.

After this fight, Claire led the two to the venue of the preliminaries.

In the back, the two people who were secretly communicating with each other had different expressions, and Hill secretly laughed at Mickey who had just said something big with a calm look: "Tsk, didn't you threaten to beat him just now, what, why don't you do it again now?" ”

Mitch glared at Hill and replied, not to be outdone, "At least I'm not like someone who gets knocked out with one move." As he spoke, he gestured a fist at Ciel.

Hilton jumped a little: "What, weren't you also defeated by one move, embarrassed to say?" ”

Just as the two were constantly dismantling each other's stages, Claire also led them to the preliminaries.

Basically all the fighters who participated in the competition came here, and it was only 20 minutes before the start of the preliminary round, and every pair of fighters stood in the stadium that had been contracted by the R consortium, one by one, and in view of the large number of teams of martial artists, the R consortium planned to adopt a knockout system.

There are a total of thirty-two teams, and the plan formulated by the R consortium is to play two teams in a group, four groups of battles together, one group of one field, and then a total of four battles in the morning, and the winner who has already finished the game will no longer be drawn in the morning.

Soon, Claire walked up to the draw table as the captain, took out a small ball from the draw box, and after looking at the ball number, Claire took the ball and walked down the field.

"Well, what number did we draw?" Not for Claire's appearance when he saw Hill at the beginning, Hill at this time showed a frizz that belonged to his age, indeed, this was a fighting tournament with a huge prize money, and the mixed situation in the audience did make people feel a little nervous.

Claire said lightly, "Soon." Hill, who didn't know what his idea was, saw Claire's appearance and immediately fell silent, but Hill was as confused as Mickey next to him, how fast was this?

After all the martial artists had finished their order of action, the originally empty stadium suddenly began to shake.

"What's going on?" "Earthquake?" Those present were puzzled by the shaking of the ground.

With a "boom" sound, accompanied by the sound of metal grinding, four rings of the same size suddenly rose from under the stadium.

The preliminaries have officially begun!

As the music played on the radio, the martial artists who had received their fighting numbers starting with one walked to the ring. Claire looked at the team next to the ring, and there was one team that was very appealing to his idea.

The people in this group were not dressed very strangely, except for one person with yellow mohican hair, who had been playing handsome, and the other two were very calm. This would not have attracted Claire's attention, but next to the tall, burly man with a Japanese headband on his head, stood a teenager who looked like a student.

The teenager's hairstyle was parted in the middle, and he wore two gloves embroidered with golden suns on his left and right hands, and a school uniform wrapped around his lean body, yes, a school uniform.

Claire not only practiced her martial arts skills during the three months, but also took advantage of the time she went out to run errands to learn about the nearby places, this school uniform seems to be the school uniform in the private school in Kusanagi City, and the people who study in that school are not particularly rich and powerful, or the children of some martial arts families.

Claire looked at this extremely familiar figure again, and after thinking for a long time, Claire suddenly remembered that she was in the world of the King of Fighters, so this teenager who made him very familiar was Kyo Kusanagi. After thinking about it carefully, Claire remembered the scenes she saw when she passed by the arcade in her previous life.

It's a pity that Claire doesn't know much about the historical background of The King of Fighters, and he has a lot of missions in his previous life, how can he have time to play an arcade game, let alone understand its background.

But this is not the time to sigh, let's see how they fight. Claire thought about it and decided not to want to, and waited and saw what happened.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Kusanagi Kyo's team to win, but Kusanagi Kyo didn't make a move, but the young man named Nikaido Red Pill who seemed to be in the limelight wore three and knocked all three of the other three out of the ring.

If Nikaido Red Pill had said this before the fight, there might have been a chorus of boos from the audience, but at this time, Nikaido Red Pill's cool electric light on the field and his very gorgeous tricks made people love it very much.

So after Nikaido Red Pill went down, those new fans of his bottom suddenly began to raise their hands and shout.

After the first game, the audience was full of discussions about Kyo Kusanagi's team just now, but most of the discussion was about Nikaido Komaru's electric light. "Eh, Murakami, do you see, the one who is discharged all over." "Cut, that's Brother Maru in our Kusanagi City, I haven't seen this, I really haven't seen it."

Words like these kept coming out of the crowd, making the whole stadium as noisy as a vegetable market.

Seeing this, Claire stopped listening to these martial artists who were getting more and more outrageous. Recharge and wait for the start of your own set of competitions.

After a quarter of an hour or so, an announcement sounded in the stadium: Second match, ready, please draw the lot fighters to quickly take their seats.
