Chapter 173

For an active volcanic archipelago formed by the collision of plates like this, having only two volcanic eruptions a year is indeed a bit surprising.

It’s not that it’s too many, but too few.

If this island really is just the upper half of the volcano that can be seen, once or twice a year is really too restrained.

Ren Amamiya specifically took out the maple leaf gold coin.

This island is the upper half of the volcano.

The coin flipped, heads up.

It really is.

Ren Amamiya covered his face helplessly; in a sense, Kaguya-san’s ability to choose a place is truly amazing, to be able to pick such an unexpected place at once.

No wonder this island couldn't be sold.

With this kind of thing, anyone who knows the true situation wouldn't buy it.

Unless it’s the kind of scientist who has research on the structural nature of volcanoes, perhaps they could have some interest in the formation of this island.

Are there any others interested in this island?

Of course, such a rare island formed by volcanic uplift still has many uses for them.

After all, for them, this island is actually a platform that can be used for activities.

Shaking his head slightly, Ren Amamiya returned to his room and closed the glass door.

He walked out of the room and came to the main hall of the cruise ship.

By now, the girls acting together had all arrived.

"Amamiya-san, good morning."

"Good morning, Shinomiya-san."

Ren Amamiya scanned everyone’s faces; one could see a certain amount of excitement on all of them.

"It seems everyone has rested well over the night."

"Since everyone’s state is good, how about we have a morning battle before breakfast?"

"!?"

Everyone didn't expect the training to come so suddenly...

"This is a battle of an exhibition nature, and it’s also morning exercise before breakfast; it doesn't require particularly high intensity, but it can allow everyone to have a rough understanding of your strength."

"Especially for Sonoko, Fujiwara-san, and Aizawa-san who don't possess mysterious power, it will be of great help."

"Also, Fujiwara-san, you can take the video camera."

"You can film a battle between mystery and mystery in the way you want."

"How about it?"

Although this suggestion was very sudden, everyone was very interested in such a situation.

"Come on, come on!"

Chika Fujiwara’s eyes were already shining.

"That’s right, this is a very good suggestion."

Sakuya Aizawa’s eyes were also shining; she was also very interested in the battle between mystery and mystery.

"Whoa!!!"

Sonoko Suzuki’s eyes were also wide open; she was truly seeing such a scene for the first time and was also very interested in it.

This suggestion was the same for the trio who hadn't obtained power, and even more so for the few who possessed power.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Nagi Sanzenin looked at each other, both seeing the competitive spirit in each other’s eyes, as well as the curiosity about each other’s strength.

"It is indeed a good idea."

Kaguya Shinomiya also agreed with this suggestion for morning exercise.

She also really wanted to see how strong the power Nagi obtained was.

"What do you think?"

"It’s very good."

Nagi Sanzenin didn't avoid it either; for a shut-in, it was also very rare for her to develop a combative mood.

"But there’s a gap in our strength, right?"

Although her curiosity was strong, Nagi Sanzenin wouldn't make a wrong assessment of herself.

She was definitely not Kaguya Shinomiya’s opponent.

"That is indeed the case."

Ren Amamiya didn't avoid this question either.

"Devil Fruit users have a higher starting point."

"The upper limit of the God’s Eye isn't low, but the starting point has a clear gap with Devil Fruit users."

"Also, Shinomiya-san obtained one of the most powerful Logia fruits among Devil Fruits, possessing the ability of elementalization from birth."

"Even if neither possesses combat experience, she still occupies a great advantage."

"So, additional rules are needed."

"Shinomiya-san’s ability is stronger, so Nagi Sanzenin can add Maria-san and Saginomiya as helpers."

"Eh? One against three?"

Chika Fujiwara exclaimed; she didn't expect the requirement given by Amamiya to be so high.

"Even so, Shinomiya-san still occupies the advantage."

One against three sounds intimidating, but the strength gap between the two sides is still quite obvious.

Ren Amamiya still felt that one against three made Kaguya Shinomiya’s advantage too large.

"Nagi Sanzenin and Maria-san have only just obtained the God’s Eye; although the elemental power they master has great potential, what is needed is to strengthen their own control and operation of elemental power."

"Without a large amount of training, Nagi Sanzenin and Maria-san almost cannot form combat power."

"I have an objection!"

Sakuya Aizawa couldn't help but raise her hand.

"Isn't Shinomiya the same?"

"This is the difference in starting points caused by different powers."

Ren Amamiya explained patiently.

"Even if Devil Fruits don't need training, the starting point of the power obtained will be very high."

"Especially since Shinomiya-san ate a Logia fruit, which is known as the strongest series of fruits, and it’s the Hie Hie no Mi (Ice-Ice Fruit)."

"The moment she ate it, Shinomiya-san already possessed the elementalization ability to be immune to any physical attacks."

"And the attacks Nagi Sanzenin and Maria-san can produce now are all physical."

"The effect is almost equal to zero."

"The main force of one against three actually lies in Saginomiya."

Sakuya Aizawa looked at Iroha in a purple kimono with a slightly confused look.

She really couldn't tell that Iroha was the main force in this battle.

"Saginomiya masters the spiritual power of exorcism; that part of the power is not physical."

"So, Saginomiya is the main force of this morning exercise."

"Nagi Sanzenin and Maria-san, actually, are more for letting them try out the elemental power they have mastered."

"So, Shinomiya-san, what do you think?"

After finishing the explanation, Ren Amamiya handed the decision-making power to Kaguya Shinomiya.

Kaguya Shinomiya also entered a state of thought temporarily.

She trusted Amamiya-san’s judgment.

One against three sounds a bit intimidating, but she also believed her ability could handle it.

"I think it’s okay."

"Since that’s the case, then, Fujiwara-san, get the video camera ready, let’s go out."

"Whoa!"

Chika Fujiwara immediately became interested, went directly to the room, and picked up the video camera that had been prepared long ago.
