Yamada-sensei's 69th clone's POV

"...Vanilla ice cream...hehe...wait...no, vanilla ice cream. Please don't eat me...! I love you with all my heart! I love you more than tentacle porn....."

I started breathing faster while rolling left and right a bit.

"Yada...YADA!!!"

I opened my eyes as wide as I could and saw the bright blue sky with a few clouds forming, and a shine coming from my right. I gasped for air like you normally would after a nightmare. I instantly looked forward while rubbing my eyes.

I blinked a couple times, reassuring that my body was not vored by that huge tasty vanilla ice cream. God, I wish I could eat one right now.

"Phew...it was just a dream..."

I incinerated the blanket, and stood up. I did my stretching to make sure my body is limber and ready to roam around monitoring activities.

"Yosha!" I giggled.

I breathed in, and breathed out.

"The weather is so nice though..."

I looked to my left and saw more white clouds forming in the distance in the ocean blue sky, but most importantly...

"Wonder how the people are doing..."

Loud chattering and traffic can be heard, lots of people walking by and heading into shops, and the cool wind going against my cape, making it flap up and down, is kinda strong.

"Well, my original's orders." I chuckled.

I then jumped down from the building to another building. I could feel the wind going against my hair and green shoulder cape. I giggled.

"Wonder how young Yamada will take care of this?

Yamada-sensei's POV

"Hmm hmm hmm..."

"Hnn....ohayou, Yamada-senpai..." Ollie said while rubbing her eyes.

"Strange-peko. Where's Nollie-peko?" Pekora said while setting down a metal ladle.

"N-Nollie isn't here with you guys?"

"Hmm...if I remember correctly, Nollie wanted to play with Astel again. However, I know for a fact Astel doesn't play 'normally.'"

"..."

Ollie looked at me and blinked thrice.

"...What? (What-peko?)"

"...ANIKI! I TOLD YOU NOT TO LET NOLLIE PLAY WITH ELECTRICITY! I MEAN, SHE'S IMMUNE TO PAIN, SORTA, BUT SHE'S STILL YOUNG!" Ollie whined throughout the room.

The rest of us that are awake giggled.

Yamada-sensei's 69th clone's POV

I checked the streets.

"Nothing yet..."

I activated "Swift Fox" and went around the city more.

"I wonder..."

Despite not even being a part of this war and just to observe activity. I'm getting a strange feeling...I know something bad will go down, but it won't be easy. It'll really put the universes at stake. Like...maybe it won't go smoothly, and some back and forth action happens.

"Well, I just gotta be optimistic about this...probably."

I gotta believe in my other me's prediction. He's putting faith in his gakusei. I should too, even if I'm not the sensei.

"Nigero!" I heard a couple guys scream.

I gasped, and looked to my right.

When I heard the noise, I pivoted my foot as I landed on the building, and dashed towards there.

"Where did I hear it...?"

I know it's this way though. Most likely, there must be some police cars coming. This is actually distracting my hearing. I need to hear their footsteps.

I went towards where I thought the original location of the sound was, and I finally heard it...the escaping criminals' footsteps. A bit to the right of my front and down.

I made sure to keep up with their pace, since they're actually running faster than the normal human. They must've used their gifts or something. I also made sure to look where I'm going, since I don't want to be banging into anything, or accidentally fall off a building.

After reaching what looked like a building that had a backway to some sort of apartment, they stopped.

I hopped a bit, and raised my arms as I let gravity do the work for me. My shoulder cape and hair were blown upwards by the wind.

"Now, we gotta give the jewelry to the boss to finally get approved-"

As my feet made contact with the ground, I knelt on one knee and put both my arms in front of me. My shoulder cape fell down, and my left arm got covered.

"W-Who are you?!"

"I'm just your average human." I smirked and chuckled.

I stood up and slowly walked towards them.

"Don't know who he is, but it seems he needs to taste iron...!" Guy 2 said while transforming his right arm into a gray, metallic fist.

He tried rushing towards me with his fist, but I stopped time 1:10.

I yawned while walking towards him. I covered my mouth with my left hand.

"Mattaku, I could've killed you in 9 different ways within these 10 seconds. Hell, now that I think about it, I can kill you in 30 different ways-nah, make it more than a hundred."

I chopped his neck.

"Now, time for you, mister messy-hair mudafucka."

I punched him in the solar plexus, then the balls, and finally, summoned flex tape and taped his eyes, and all the way to his mouth. I also taped his hands together behind his back.

"Now, finally, you two are taken care of."

I then changed my appearance into one of them. I also held their heads, and accessed their memories. I see this place has some security measures.

I took the jewelry they stole in a stained clothed pouch.

"Time to enter..."

I then pushed the door open, and the interiors...well, the walls have ripped dull-colored wallpaper, showing the old wood behind it, dim flickering lights, and the doors look older than yo momma. OW!

I closed the door behind me, and looked at the hallway with the torn carpets scattering around. The hallways looked so bland, almost like there's really no signs of life in here. It's too quiet...I can only hear the ringing in my ears that usually happens when there's no sound.

"Room 07, room 07, room 07...."

I looked left and right at the doors, and finally to my right as I saw "07". Strangely, there was a speaker near it. A speaker that looked very rusty, not only at the grills, but also the frame. It had a small red led light on the bottom part of the frame.

"Here it is..."

I knocked 3 times at the door.

"What's the passcode?" A voice said from the speaker. The quality sounded exactly like the 60's. 

"Yamada shall die."

The doorknob twisted on its own, and it opened a bit. I could see a bit of pure white inside with a bit of light seeping through.

I then opened it all the way, and everything changed. The walls were as white as light, and the stairs had a bright red carpet rolling its way down and extending further into the room. I also heard chatters and some noises coming from the other side of the room.

I then looked back at the door, and closed it while locking the doorknob.

I walked down the stairs.

I saw a lot of people gathering around in a group, loud chattering with each other. I saw one guy after another looking at me, and before I knew it, all of them looked at me.

"Hey, make way." A certain guy with a deep voice said.

He made his way through the bustling crowd as it dissipated, and there was a clear path for him to make his way. He was probably as big as Ronnie Coleman, but if Ronnie Coleman spoke Japanese, was white, and evil. Just from looking at him, I already felt a bit intimidated.

"Ah, so you're one of the new recruits called..." A guy with a face similar to One-For-All said.

"Haru." I spoke with my chest out.

"Haru! That was your name! Say, where's your pal, Kenji...?"

"My pal?"

Oh no...I fucked up here....no. If my memory serves me right, Kenji did have some doubts of joining along with Haru. As long as he doesn't think that I'm suspicious, I'm fine.

"Ah, nevermind. I guess in the end he really didn't want to do it anyway."

Phew, I guess I'm safe now.

He walked up to me and held my shoulders.

"Anyway, how about coming here for a bit?"

"O-Okay..."

We went forward, and he presented some sort of whiteboard in front of me. There were 2 whiteboards.

"So, basically, here's the plan..."

We walked toward the whiteboards, and stopped. I saw red, blue, and green texts and figures. It's quite organized, considering the green text is labeled with dots and dashes. Figures are drawn in blue, and red covers some extra points.

"Now, first of all, our plan shall be executed at midnight. It's separated into two parts. The 'Crime' part, and the 'Root' part."

"The 'Crime' part is easy. Everybody should hold hands and I shall pass onto all of you as to which Hololiver you shall go against. After that, you all shall start attacking them once it reaches midnight. Since the crime rate in Japan is quite high, everybody shall be distracted from all the other crimes, so we'll use that as a chance to slip on by and capture the Hololivers."

"What about the other one?"

"The 'Root' part is where we shall go to the root universe and hold the Hololivers captive until Shirazaki Yamada comes to me."

I widened my eyes.

Not just any Hololiver, but the root Hololivers?! That's fucking crazy! If one of them dies, that can fuck up every single universe! Every. Single. Universe!

"However, I shall be the one to go against Yamada..."

I looked at one of the red texts that had a dash. It read "Kill Yamada".

"Kill Yamada...?"

"Well, being the kind boss that I am, not necessarily 'kill' him. I'll kill him after my best men had enough fun with him."

I blinked twice.

"...This guy is fucking psychopathic. Even more psychopathic than Suisei. Holy fucking shit."

"Anyway, it was glad to have you here, Yamada." He said.

....Wait, 'Yamada'?

"What do you mean-GURGH!"

I felt a sudden pain in my stomach as I looked down, and saw his arm...it penetrated through my stomach to my back.

"Kuso...I knew I fucked up somewhere."

"I knew you weren't the real Haru. You would've came here with your buddy, and besides, I read your mind."

I could feel my body getting weaker. My legs felt like spaghetti trying to support a sack of rice, so I fell down to the ground with a thud.

I looked to my right and saw everybody talking to each other while cupping their hands to keep their voices from me. Despite that though, I can hear their gossips.

"A-Are we exposed now...?"

"This isn't the real Yamada, right?"

"There's no way the boss would do that. He would've confirmed it with his real eyes."

"ARRRGH!" I shouted.

I felt two fingers penetrate my eyes. It went really deep, like I could almost feel his fingers hook onto my sockets. The pain felt like if paint was a feeling. It hurts like hell. I also experienced what it's like being blind. I can't see shit at all!

"Sayonara..."

Yamada-sensei's POV

"Itadakimasu!"

I spread peanut butter on a slice of bread, and put on top. I saw a bit of peanut butter leaking out from being squished like an oreo cookie.

"Hora, Akira. Eat."

"Thank you, papa!"

She then started eating the bread.

"Oi, eat slowly, Akira! Look, there's peanut butter on your mouth!" Sora pouted.

She then used her shirt and wiped Akira's mouth.

"There! Continue eating!" Sora smiled.

"Ah, hai!"

Akira continued eating.

I looked at the others. They were drinking their coffee and milk, and eating whatever they wanted to eat. We had a lot of food for breakfast. Bread, different types of spread, egg, bacon, etc.

"Well, I guess I should start too."

I held my mug as I felt the warmth of the black coffee from the handle.

I then raised it, and pulled it closer to my mouth.

As I was blowing on it and almost taking a sip, I felt some sort of feeling in my brain, which made me widen my eyes. It felt sharp, like when you finally realized the answer to a calculus question.

"What's wrong, Yamada?" Sora asked.

After Sora asked that, everybody looked at me one by one while tilting their heads.

"Hmm? What's up, bro?" Roberu said as he took a sip of his black coffee.

"...It's happening now." I closed my eyes.

"What's happening?" They asked.

"The 'plan.'"

They widened their eyes, and slowly set down their mugs.

"Hmm? What's wrong, dad?" Akira asked.

"Dad?" Aaron asked.

My other children looked at me, and some of them questioned the same thing.

"...Let's finish our breakfast first. No rush." I smiled while taking a sip of my coffee.

I looked at Akira and patted her head while smiling.

"Don't worry. It's just that me, your moms, and your uncles have businesses to take care of."

Mr. Weeaboo's POV

His head was rolling to its left as his eyes slowly turned to a plain dark brown color, and his neck was flowing out blood. His body stayed still, and there's a small gap between his body and his neck. My hand was still stained of blood, and if it weren't for hiding my face, my goofy grin could've been seen.

Slowly but surely, particles of his feet started to disappear, then his legs, then his body, and finally, his head.

"A clone, huh....?"

I chuckled.

"Shirou-kun, Akira-kun. Dispose of the bodies outside."

"Wakarimashita, Mr. Weeaboo!"

"Now, after that small interruption by Yamada's clone, let's try recapping, shall we?"

They all nodded.

Now that I think about it, that Yamada had bigger muscles, and his hair is a bit longer than before...Well, I'll shrug it off. I miss the times when hair would grow exponentially. Besides, I'm sure he's training to be stronger to beat me.

I recapped the whole plan, and by the time I finished recapping, Shirou and Akira were done with disposing the bodies outside....it's time now.

I'm sick and tired of always taking an L in this back and forth war between me and Shirazaki Yamada. However...

I giggled.

"You all know what we need to do, right?"

"Yes! Mr. Weeaboo!"

"Splendid." I laughed.

I opened up multiple portals. They all led to different alleyways.

"Remember, when it hits midnight where all of them are done streaming, we shall start Operation: Bait."

"Hai!"

I looked at my best men. The two brothers, and the 5 girls.

"You all know what to do as the squad leaders, right?"

"Yes! Mr. Weeaboo!"

I chuckled.

"Dewa, hajimemashou."

We entered the portals.

I also remembered to change my face's appearance so that I look normal, and I'm not walking around with a strange face that only has a mouth and a shape of a nose.

After we got out of the alleyways, I then looked for potential buildings that we can use for baiting Yamada.

"Hmm..."

I then saw a big corporation. The Sony corporation.

I chuckled.

"I now know what building we shall use."

I looked at my men.

"Spread out, men. We shall meet near the entrance of the Sony building at midnight. We shall camp starting at 12 AM sharp. Inform the others too."

They nodded.

We then split up.

"Satte..."

I started daydreaming.

"Let's get to weights!"

I then frantically searched for a gym.

"I'm gonna carry 310 kg now!"

Man...I can't wait to see my muscles again and flex them in front of the mirror...! I can feel my grin just showing itself shamelessly, and I don't know how to revert it back.

Yamada-sensei's POV

"Mama...!" Eichi said while hugging Lamy tight.

"Yoshi 2x. Don't worry. We're only gone for today." She said while patting Eichi's head.

She then put her arm down and hugged him back while kissing his head.

"When we get back, we'll bring lots of things for you all!" Mio said while patting her daughter, Benicio, on the head.

I heard other cries from my other sons and daughters, and my bros are trying to comfort them.

"Ugh...sometimes, I wish you had fewer kids....they're heavy...." Kira said.

I giggled nervously.

"Can't help it. I chose to have many wives too..."

"Yo dayo!" I heard a voice say in English, but she's not Ayame, for sure. Just about time for "then" to arrive.

I looked behind my right shoulder, and saw a girl with pastel pink hair, blue star-shaped hair accessories, and a crown with red stars.

"Ah, hey Lyrica." I smirked.

"Hey."

We clapped each other's hands, and I saw from the side of my eye a pouting orange-haired woman with fiery red (or orange. Dunno the exact color) eyes.

"Darey ga kay?" I said 'Dare ga ka' in a gay lingo accent with a deadpan.

"What are you? Homosexual? Tangina mo! (lit. Motherfucker you!) [Fuck you!]"

"Jesus, calm down, will you? Basura nga bisong. (lit. Trash vagina)"

We growled at each other.

"When will you two stop your frenemy relationship...?" Lyrica sweat dropped.

"After she stops being a trash shortie."

"After this fucker stops being a dick."

"...GRRRR!"

"Oi oi!" I heard another voice.

"Huh?"

I stopped looking at Kaheru, and looked to my left.

I saw a blonde girl with a red and yellow ribbon and a green hair clip in the middle of her hair.

"Ah, Sara. You're finally here..."

I looked to her left and saw a gray-haired and gray-eyed man.

"Nice, Kanae's here too."

"Well, we can't really turn down your offer easily, can we?" Kanae giggled.

"I'm sorry for bothering you guys. You might be busy and all."

"It's okay. As long as the portals exist, we won't have a hassle going back and forth, right?"

"Yeah. Though, I'm still kinda sorry for letting you take my position for a bit."

I also saw a couple other girls and guys.

"I thank you all, minus 1, for coming here."

"WHAT ABOUT ME?!" Kaheru asked.

"You're short." I smugged.

She raised her fist and shivered.

"Sige. (Do it) I won't hold back."

Her face slowly flushed, and she slowly groaned louder.

"I HATE YOU, YAMADA!"

I laughed.

"Love you, Kaheru.~"

"Remember, you're married, Yamada." Lyrica giggled.

"Yeah 2x, I would've taken Kaheru as my wife a long time ago if I wanted her."

"I wouldn't want someone like you as my husband! Hmph!" Kaheru crossed her arms and looked away while pouting.

"Stupid motherfucker...." She mumbled.

I snickered a bit.

I looked at my children, and knelt down.

They went up to me slowly.

"Don't hold back. Your dad's here to hug you all-"

They all quickly leaped towards me, and I stumbled back.

"Ah, okay-hup...YUP. DEFINITELY CAN HANDLE IT." I giggled nervously.

After a while,I slowly nudged them.

"Alright, that's enough lovey-dovey for your papa." I giggled.

I stood up and dusted myself off.

"Well, I guess we all should go to young Yamada's universe now, huh?" I asked the others.

They nodded.

"Guard the other children too, girls." I said to my other wives that didn't have their student debut yet.

"GOT IT!" Ollie shouted.

Reine nodded, and Anya replied "Yup."

"Well, time to go to the training room, and summon them."

Yamada's POV

"Hmm....I'll go take a short breaaaaak...!"

I stood up from my chair, and went downstairs to the kitchen.

I got a glass, filled it with water, and took a sip.

As I was sipping it, my mind was instantly filled with Yamada-sensei's voice. A real-life spam.

Yamada-sensei's POV

"Wakey wakey. Wakey wakey. Wakey wakey. Wakey wakey. Wakey wakey. Wakey wakey. Wakey wakey. Wakey wakey-"

"WE'RE ALREADY UP! WHAT IS IT?!" Everybody in young Yamada's universe shouted.

"Oh good, you all are up. Come here to the training room immediately. Wear your exercising clothes. We're training twice today, and we're increasing our training time to 2 hours. Only technique though."

Yamada's POV

What the-technique only? Wonder what's up...

"Wait, now-"

"NOW. IT'S REALLY REALLY URGENT."

That line....it sent chills down my spine. More like it sounds like the fate of the universe is at stake if we don't attend it....which I might jinx myself.

I sighed.

"Welp, sensei's orders." I said while gulping down the glass quickly.

I then went to my room and dressed into dri-fit clothes.

Yamada-sensei opened a portal in my room, and I went through.

As I stepped through the portal, I looked at the girls and boys. Some of them were like me. Slight eyebags, but not that noticeable. However the others...

"Kuso....I only got 5 hours of sleep..." Shion said.

"I wish I got more sleep...." Korone said.

"Woah! Take it easy, Korone!" Okayu said as she felt the impact of Korone's weight to her shoulder.

"I'm not up to exercise yet, you know...?!" Korone tried shouting, but she looks flimsy as hell.

"Agh....my bed was so comfy too...." Aloe sratched her head.

"Just....10 more minutes..." Rikka held his forehead.

"I was going to have a stream, but nevermind..." Ina said.

"Okay, so I'll get straight to the point." Yamada-sensei cleared his throat.

He crossed his arms.

"Basically, the plan is in action."

"Plan?" They asked.

I widened my eyes.

"How did you all forget that...?" I asked them.

"Forget what?" Fubuki asked.

She widened her eyes.

"AH! THAT ONE!"

Everybody widened their eyes too after remembering what the "plan" was.

"Yes. Right now, I think you all are strong enough in terms of strength-nah, you're way stronger than most of these guys, but your techniques are not enough to handle multiple opponents. Young Yamada is very strong, but he's still lacking more techniques and refinement."

He opened more portals.

"We'll start our training now."

"What about us? The ones that lacked sleep?" Shion asked.

"Hmm, well, it is true you all have streams around nighttime and dawn...you all shall go in the 'sleeping room.'"

"'S-Sleeping room'....?" We sweat dropped.

"Basically, time there is stopped. But I will admit..."

He sighed.

"Kanata, can you supply me your LF while I'm in the room?"

"Nn!"

"Yokatta. Well, everybody that still needs sleep, or needs a rest, get inside the room!"

"Hai..."

The sleepy ones slowly walked towards the portal, and so did Yamada-sensei.

"Hmm? Why're you coming with them?" I asked.

"Well, If I don't control the time there, they might just suddenly age to an old guy and woman. You wouldn't want that, would you?"

"T-That's kinda yabai." I sweat dropped.

"Don't worry. In your time, It'll take a split second or so. This'll be quick....well, for you at least..." He looked away.

I looked at his face. His eyes looked like the eyes of a person that looks unwilling to do something, and his mouth is in that "ugh" form.

He then entered the portal after everybody who lacked hours of sleep went in, and he entered in.

Yamada-sensei's POV

I sighed.

"This is more grueling than hearing Haachama's blessings for 2 hours of Resident Evil 7 gameplay. Not to mention, she keeps wasting bullets there. Not that I'm pissed, but...she could've saved so many bullets for later purposes."

I breathed in hard.

"Hai! Go to sleep, kiddos!"

I said as I closed the portal.

Yamada's POV

The second he closed the portal was also the second the portal opened.

"Konnichiwa!" Aloe said.

"That felt better." Shion grabbed her head.

"Time to run for another 10 kilometers again, I guess..." Astel said.

"That was some nice sleep....!~" Sora said.

"Hai. I'll be going back now." Yamada-sensei said.

The portal closed again, and opened, and a few other Hololivers came through.

"Kon-Choco!~"

"That was some nice sleep..." Iofi said while slouching.

"SLEEP IS THE BEST!" Gura smiled like she didn't have a single care of the world.

"O-Okay, time for the others...." Yamada-sensei said.

"Why'd he stutter...?" I sweat dropped.

He closed the portal one more time, and everybody else that needed sleep is now out. He's the only one left there.

"Ugh...that was grueling as hell..." Yamada-sensei said while walking towards me with a blatant slouch.

"W-What happened to you?" I sweat dropped more.

"Can you withstand waiting for about 6 hours? I even rushed it by speeding time by 5:1 just to conserve LF, and it was still slow..."

"F." I put my hands together and bowed.

"Well, I rewound time for myself, so my skin is still as old as a second ago in this world."

He looked at everybody.

"It's time to go, everybody."

They nodded.

We entered our respective portals, and went into our training rooms.

"Alright...you need to prepare, young Yamada. I'm gonna teach you a lot of things, and it's not gonna be easy."

He looked at me.

"You think you'll be okay?"

I nodded.

"As long as this gets dealt with, I'm more than ready."

He chuckled.

"Well, let's start!"

"Nn! What shall we start with?"

"Well, first, let's improve some claw techniques of yours."

"Hmm? You mean advanced?"

"Well...more like refinement."

"Huh...."

"Don't worry. I'll also teach you advanced techniques. Just first, let's try refining your attacks to make it better and faster."

"Hai!"

For about 30 minutes, he taught me more claw techniques. I used more range of motion, and he taught me how to claw faster. He let me adapt some sword skills into claw skills, which made me a bit faster, but I'm still improving. It's not the best I could do yet.

"Puh...I'm done!"

"Right. Let's duel now."

"IMMEDIATELY?!"

"Yes. Now, get in position."

"Fine..."

I used "Telekinesis" to get my water bottle, and I drank a bit. I let it float back to my bench, and stretched.

"Alright, should we start now?" I asked.

He nodded.

"By the way, I'll only be using my feet for attacking and moving. Also, we both are not allowed to use 'Time Manipulation'. Now...come at me."

"Hai..." I activated my claws and readied my stance.

After adjusting my feet, and taking a few breathes, I pushed myself with my right foot and activated "Lightning Speed".

I gradually arrived to where his location was, but he suddenly disappeared.

"What the-"

"Time Manipulation" was not allowed. He's really that fast, huh...?

"Over here." I heard from my left, and a bit behind.

I activated a physical barrier on my body and forearms, and blocked his kick.

"GUGH...!"

The impact was comparable to Moona's meteors and asteroids' impact x 100. It hurts like shit.

I was sent flying backwards, but I flipped mid-air, and slid on the floor while leaning forward to stop.

I ran again, and prepared to pounce myself at him once I got to an appropriate distance, but the closer I got, somehow, I also felt myself getting weaker.

"W-What the...."

I started panting fast, and I could feel my heart beating faster, like when you do vigorous exercise and you're about to pass out.

"Hah...hah....fuck."

I think I know what's going on. My LF is decreasing rapidly, but this normally doesn't happen this fast. Somehow, it's unnaturally decreasing rapidly.

I got down on one knee, deactivated my claws, and rested my right hand on the ground while resting my left hand on the left knee.

"Fuck, I'll have to rely on Kiara's eyes right now."

I activated Kiara's eyes, and as soon as I activated it, I felt a presence to my left.

"Here it comes...!"

I clenched my fists, and tightened my stomach, preparing for the worst...!

...

...Wait, nothing's happening.

"So, noticed yourself getting weaker?"

I looked up at him.

"You're not gonna finish me off or something?"

"Nope, just wanted to demonstrate a skill that you'll absolutely be using during a fight."

"Which is...?"

He walked to my front, and knelt down.

"Constant sucking of LF."

I felt less weaker than before, and I stood up slowly.

"Um....is it just tethering and sucking up LF?"

He nodded.

"You need to practice that constant in-and-out of sucking LF, young Yamada." He crossed his arms.

"It's really gonna help during the fight against Mr. Weeaboo. I'll be giving back some of your LF, but this time, try to tether your LF to me. Who knows? Maybe this time, you can actually catch me."

I gasped a bit after realizing one thing. Technically, when you tether something yourself, no matter what it is, you can see the "string" that tethers you and that object. That could be interesting...yeah, that'll really help me.

We got back into position, and yet again, I readied my stance. Wide stance, claws activated, but this time, I tethered my LF to his. I could see the line now. The green, ethereal tethering line.

"Remember, you need to tether your LF throughout the fight. Never cut the connection until you need to, or at the end of the fight, okay? Besides, it only costs 1 LF, and no more than that."

"Got it."

"Now....start!"

I rushed towards him, the same thing I did at the first attempt but as soon as he disappeared, I saw the tether line. It was long, and it curved to the right. I turned to my right, and saw him approaching fast. Very fast, actually.

I then turned my body towards him, and activated a physical barrier just in case I fuck up.

I pointed my left palm towards him, and emitted a lot of propane on my left palm. I gave it a small spark, and I aimed it at him as fast I could. I saw that he disappeared behind the fire, and I tried tracing him by tracing the tether.

I stopped emitting propane, and landed on the ground. I felt myself getting weaker, so I sucked some of his LF. I filled myself to the brim with LF, and I felt re-energized again. I'm fortunate to learn this technique. Wonder why I never thought of this before...?

I continued doing this back and forth fighting with Yamada-sensei until I felt really tired. In case you forgot, energy and LF are kinda different.

"Hah...hah...hah....can we stop now? I think I'm already used to it."

"Well, I guess that's that. Now comes the more grueling part..." He giggled a bit.

I sweated a bit and jumped a bit.

"W-What's this....'grueling' part...?"

"We're gonna learn how to materialize more things!"

He then giggled, and laughed, and slowly laughed louder to the point he sounded like a crazy scientist.

Basically, he sounds like Keyaru when he got his revenge against Flare

I blinked twice.

"I'm in hell, aren't I?"

Welp, this is not what we normally signed for, but training is never not hellish.

After the 2 hour training~

"Hai!~ Everybody should be here by now!~" Yamada-sensei said.

"Hah...hah...hah...god, materialization, claws, tethering, leg strength, chemistry shit, mental training, goddayum!"

"I'm beat! I just wanna rest in a bath and have a massage!"

I saw portals opening up from multiple places.

"Ah, there they are!" I said.

....There they are...?

I heard extreme panting from the hololivers, while their older selves came in looking like they just did some chores or something.

"We're here!" The senseis said.

"We're....HERE!" The Hololivers said.

They literally plopped down on the ground with a thud. Some of them lied on their backs, some on their side, and a few on their front. (I'm guessing you know who's able to lie on their front :3 Including pettan-)

"I feel like I could just die from breathing....HAH!" Kiara shouted.

"My lumbar....I feel tense in almost every spot of my back too...." Choco and Aloe shivered.

"I feel like my vocal cord could just tear apart anytime now...my throat feels sore!" Sora sobbed.

"Me too...! Shikushiku (onomatopoeia for quiet sobbing)...." AZKi sobbed.

"You're not the only one...." Izuru and Rikka sobbed.

"I wanna lie on a very soft mattress right now...!" Mio groaned.

"I can't feel my arms....Help me please...!" Subaru shivered and sobbed.

"I don't think I can drink water anymore...!~" Mel whined while holding her stomach.

"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!~~~~" Marine let out a sigh....well, a "sigh".

"THAT WAS A MOAN!" We shouted.

"Gomen...!"

"That was too tiring of a training-nanora! Nanananana!" Luna said while throwing a tantrum as best as she could with the energy she had left.

"Carrying 50 kgs on your whole body while trying to swiftly run is harder than training for FPS games your whole life...." Botan sighed.

"Too hard....~" The Chinese said.

"Context please...." I sweat dropped.

"Hehehe....I love you guys.~" Aruran said.

"Ah fuck. I remembered he drinks wine when he needs to activate his gift." I sweat dropped.

"Wait, why are they more tired than me...?" I asked.

"Remember, you are kinda the opposite to them. You're mentally weaker in terms of attacks, so you withstand more physical attacks, and you have more stamina than them."

"Ah yeah...seeing as I'm the leader...."

"Well, time to re-energize everybody."

He gave all of them LF, and they stood up slowly. They still kept the panting up though, but at least everybody just looks tired. It looks like they recovered from their previous condition too, like Aruran now looks sober, and the ones who complained about their vocal cords sound normal now.

"Well, I think everybody here deserves a rest. Go take a bath and a massage now. Remember, we're gonna have training on 3:00 AM too."

"FINALLY! THE PHRASE WE WERE WAITING FOR!" We shouted.

During their bath~

"Ah!~ The water is so good....!~~" We said as we leaned back.

"Man, my legs really feel numb from the training! Good thing Yamada-sensei helped ease it a bit!" Astel said.

"I had to practice throwing! Never have I ever worked so hard in my life for something as simple as throwing a molotov! I even had to practice on live grenades! Roberu-senpai's crazy, you know?!" Roberu said.

"You think that's crazy? Half of our training room got charred." Aruran giggled nervously.

"Our training room was not just charred, but it's also having some small flames here and there." Oga laughed.

"Why are you laughing about that...?"

"Oh yeah, how was yours, Yamada?" Oga asked.

"Well, it's rather normal...."

I thought back to all the hellish training I just had, and I slowly sunk in the water as I had multiple Vietnam flashbacks.

"Yeah....definitely normabfrrtrrr...." I closed my eyes, and just let the water take control of me.

"You definitely suffered in your training too, didn't you...?!"

"Well, I had to learn more clawing techniques, materialization, tethering, and all these other things."

We sighed.

"At least we can take a rest now...." We all said while leaning back and closing our eyes.

After a while, I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling.

"Ne....guys."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"...Once we battle with Mr. Weeaboo, I wonder if you can take care of yourselves. I feel kinda scared that...you all might not be able to handle it."

They looked at each other, and looked back at me.

"Heh, don't worry about it, bro." Roberu said.

"Why not? Not to offend you all, but you're weaker than me. Unlike me that can access a lot of gifts, you all only have one gift."

"Well, if worst comes to worst, we'll be fighting by your side." Kira put his finger on his cheek.

"Besides, you're not gonna be risking our lives that much, would you?" Shien asked while putting his hands behind his head.

"Well....if it did actually happen, I'd want to deal with Mr. Weeaboo myself, and myself only." I said.

Not the cliche "This is my fight, you guys!", it's more like "He's more dangerous than all the Hololivers combined x 1000". No cap, Mr. Weeaboo is stronger than me, no doubt, but I'm the only one, aside from my dad, who is at least equal to someone with that much power.

Aki (Outside the Rabbit Hole MC) can at least be a bit equal to Mr. Weeaboo's power, but only at the start. You think Aki has the power to tether? No. Besides, Mr. Weeaboo has "Time Manipulation". He can always reverse time like what Yamada-sensei just did to prevent my head from being smacked against the table when I slipped on a banana peel.

"Well, no matter the case, we're more worried about you, actually." Roberu chuckled.

"I mean, he's the mastermind of everything. He has to be more powerful than all of his subordinates combined. I also remember Roberu-sensei say that he has....the same gift as yours."

"Well, that is true..."

I chuckled.

"I'll make sure that everybody will be safe during this fight. If he intends to go against one of you, I'll be your shield."

"You sound really cliche right now." Roberu snickered.

"Uruse!"

All of them laughed, and I giggled a bit after.

"Well, my life is an anime, somehow." I shrugged.
