Where is the most famous climber companion in the world?
Surprisingly, toppling even the Vatican, the most famous would be Wakamou Corporation.
Even Alchemist trains to a level where they not only overwhelm but annihilate trained U.S. special forces within a year.
Everyone knows it’s because she has lived long as an Idol.
In an era where arrows and swords flew and took lives at close range, such was the raw combat!
Known as the founder of Hwasanpa in those chaotic times, who would dare belittle her martial arts?
There’s even talk that Wakamou Inarizushi possesses the most complete martial arts, in a pure sense beyond skills.
Why he insists on being a VTuber is unknown, but people speculate it’s because that’s the Idol of this era.
The ability to lead countless people, handle any situation with a smile, and showcase talent as a broadcaster.
When he picks VTubers, it suggests a genius talent for climbing(?).
Even a useless artist from Germany became a notorious climber, only second to Man-eater after her intervention.
That’s why the President of American Association desires a closer relationship with Wakamou Inarizushi.
It makes sense, as there are [next Association President candidates] in China, Korea, and Japan.
In China, the descendant, Xiao Liang, personally learns martial arts, set to become the next Great Elder of Hwasanpa.
In Japan, he nurtured a monster unlike any before from the strongest man, the daughter of the King of Authority, Sadako.
In Korea, the climbing candidate, Wanda Haye, who’s already in a managerial position, was further perfected.
‘If only there was a chance to talk with an American Psychic.’
That’s why Ava, who joined Wakamou Corporation as a VTuber, is also America’s hope.
Once part of the climber-specialized unit, she lacked nothing as an Elite.
Perhaps the issue was her anger towards the USA’s pitiful treatment, leading her to move to South Korea.
She previously worked as a soldier while doing VTubing as a side job, so her disappointment must have been immense.
‘Still, it’s puzzling.’
Though Timothy, President of American Association, acknowledges the shock and casualties due to “The Tower Emergence” and “1st Gen Man-eater” 11 years ago.
If not for [Mediator], humanity might not have maintained its current form.
His hands still tremble thinking about that moment.
It’s unbelievable that such an extreme character didn’t know the existence of [Guardian].
While understanding the fear of Man-eater as the background of [Guardian]’s ideology, keeping it a secret is bewildering.
‘If every Tower has its [Self], where was the most self-aware Tower born?’
Is it true that every [Tower] follows [Mediator]’s opinion?
‘Hah, a meaningless worry.’
No Association President knows [Six Legged Beast]’s boss is [Mediator].
It’s just that they were spared by her for fighting for humanity.
He can’t forget the moment the USA’s 1st-generation climbers got annihilated.
Though said to have been killed by a Man-eater, the truth wasn’t entirely so.
Consumed by their unique powers, intending to change the world, those drunk on evil perished in a day.
‘If there are Towers, Psychics, Aliens, and Idols…..’
Could there not be a 【God】?
…..
….
“Getto─!! Tomahawk!!!”
Wanda Haye pulls a metallic blade from her body as her shoulder splits apart, mimicking “Mineral of Idol.”
Often intrigued by what possible [Bear] monster she could be…
“Bu-Merang!!!”
Wakamou dashes to avoid the axes hurled by Wanda Haye’s effort.
Swiftly raising her front paw towards the charging her.
“Getter Machinegun!!”
Tudududu──!!
Nails start shooting like bullets from her hand.
Wakamou, deflecting the flying nails, realizes her nails have transformed into a drill-like formation.
‘This must be the [Drill Bear] Skill’
Known as a bear monster that drills into the ground to attack from the underground.
If Wakamou’s memory serves right, it appears in the Kazakhstan Tower!!
“Rocket Punch─!!!”
And responding to that is Wakamou.
With a thud!! mana condensed below the elbow explodes, sending the arm flying like a missile.
Briefly shocked by the flying fist, her body changes to a blue hue, Wanda Haye evades using an unimaginable tactic.
“Change Kuma2!”
“What?!”
“That’s a [Yaojing Bear] from the China Tower! It transforms into water and is immune to physical attacks!!”
“Our captain’s attacks are magical, though?”
Transforming into water to evade, she starts flowing like a river.
Yet for a moment─ with a roaring sound, lightning shoots upwards from the ground, the lightning bear launches.
Even maximizing [Body of Idol], enhancing reflexes with [Thunder of Idol] was necessary.
Therefore, Wakamou quickly decides she cannot respond and takes a defensive stance.
Thump─!!
A dull impact shakes Wakamou’s upper body.
Staying firm as if rooted in the ground, a lightning bolt penetrates her motionless body.
The thunder bear roars and accelerates, charging again as it glides freely over the arena.
“Maha Special!!”
“Kamen Rider?!”
“It’s Getter Robo G, okay?!”
Disappointed with an unknown otaku, Wanda Haye spins and collides with Wakamou, starting a power struggle.
Trying to grasp her quickly avoiding Wakamou’s hands, she ascends into the sky, reversing her body for another plunge.
“Super Inazuma Kick─!!”
Boom!!
Despite the thunderous rumble and blinding light enveloping the arena.
Wakamou doesn’t blink, accurately catches the descending leg, stopping it, and hurls her with all his might.
Startled, Wanda Haye reflexively braces herself.
As Wakamou, leaping, thrusts a fist fiercely into her waist, reflexively spreading her body.
With her head flipped downwards, she swings back, sensing his intent as he places her head on his shoulder.
“Sorry, but you won’t escape!! Muscle Buster!!!”
Boom─!!
With an impact smashing the arena, Wanda Haye falls, coughing blood.
“Even among VTubers!! 【Fox】 VTubers are particularly special!!!”
Know that foxes are known for charming people?
Among VTubers, the most approachable and popular are fox characters!!
While many fox designs exist, the surviving VTubers are strong─
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Uk1oK0sya3NRU1YxcUQyKzVnbkpjMWNWYXlxb0lrMXlZTzhOU0dnZ3hzeQ
Virtual Live’s cute Fubuki early on gathered fans, standing firm as a pillar.
In another world idol, the fox-like Lelutan mixed fans like a Gumiho, forming harmony.
Stellamis’ Inari Shibuki even had to carry a log due to fellow 3rd-gen member’s poor gaming(?).
Countless other fox VTubers thrived, reminiscent of a graduated beloved detective fox.
Adding to that, with exceptional planning skills, Tenko and Chisaki in Face Fusion…!!
[I’m a wolf, not a fox]
Oops…! But since it’s the same family, please forgive me….!!
“Know this Manager!! Doing a fox character implies being a pillar!!!”
“Is there no bear VTuber?!”
“There indeed is a VTuber using a polar bear model!!”
“Why is there one?!”
But how do you even know that…! Wondering, Wanda Haye recollects a previously uploaded clip, sweating coldly.
Exchanging heated gazes as they face off, rushing to collide fiercely.
“Fubu-Nyan Punch!!”
“Massei!!”
“Please allow me to buy Mikomet Figma, Manager!!”
“Use power to let me buy the entire Puchigguy series, President!!”
Boom─!!
“Didn’t connect..!!”
“Formidable spirit…!!”
Though their punches, enhanced by mana, don’t physically meet, clashing mid-air, screens shake with impact, fans cheer on.
Though the conversation topic is trivial, the fight is undeniably a peak battle.
Neither retreating nor resting, they fiercely engage, fighting as if to kill.
“Indeed, sparring with Kuma is the best!”
“Rwrrang!!”
“Aren’t you just playing?”
Folded arms, observing, Sadako refrains from drinking before her dad, shakes her head at the amusing people.
─Climbers are beings who crossed from reality to fantasy.
For otakus, it might feel like becoming a character in an anime.
Purely revealing childhood innocence, openly sharing strength while joyously fighting.
Non-climbers might find it hard to comprehend.
The Colosseum’s popularity arises, not for no reason.
Sharpened skills honed…. A [Class] one diligently chooses and completes.
There’s happiness in freely showcasing such prowess.
Joy lies in expressing oneself without hesitance.
“…..You can fight freely in the Colosseum. But that’s not all, Manager?”
For Wanda Haye, even delivering full strength attacks, Wakamou Inarizushi would reciprocate with a smile──the ultimate oshi!!
Even in bear form, she carries a tiny Wakamou mascot, dangling like a talisman.
Though easily damaged and torn, they’re abundant talismans.
For someone, VTubers provide a joy to live life with.
“Growing jealous here…”
Itchily wishing to fight, Sadako smiles.
The match’s conclusion is near.
‘The Manager sure is multi-talented’
Though aggressive, her fighting style conceals versatile techniques.
Clear traces of learning from Wakamou induced a smile. Not that he specifically taught.
‘Returning to the beginning’
─Though never exploring deeply, martial arts wisdom often returns to basics, relearning or discovering something.
From the world’s nature, animals, enlightenment, martial arts were born.
‘Reminds me of those early days using just the body of Idol’
Compared to then, Wakamou is a giant compared to an ant.
Even without [Mana Manipulation], mana moves.
A body made 100% of mana moves solely with Wakamou’s “will.”
Freely changes its color, clothes, or even extend his arms.
─Then has all skills been lost in the truest sense with the skill sealed state?
Martial arts learned and mastered physically can still be used.
Then perhaps the skills whose essence arise from mana might still be feasible?
In the depths of Wakamou’s unconscious─ a glimmer of enlightenment faintly emerged.
“Bear’s coming closer…”
And noticing such an unusual atmosphere, her ardent fan Wanda Haye instinctively sensed another “turnaround victory.”
Wakamou was known for pulling unimaginable moves in unfavorable or suppressed situations for a satisfying turnaround.
Aggregates mana into both arms.
By mimicking [Mare Pirate], unleashing different [Elements] to form a strong vibration.
Clasping forcibly with utmost strength, with a gale erupting from her back, Wanda Haye glides across the arena.
“Hell and Heaven!!”
“That’s plagiarism!!”
Sadako, who was watching, protested, but the Manager ignored her!!
Wakamou raised his hand towards Wanda Haye, who charged like a storm.
“Our Fox Deity, Buki, from Stellamis started growing her nails to increase her combat power. As a result, she can’t do fingerprint recognition anymore and can’t even open doors… Don’t mention that her nails are longer than Fox Deity’s height!! There’s a reason our Buki has a head as big as Uni’s(?)”
The nails on the hand grew sharp like swords, and black hair wrapped around Wakamou’s hand, spinning wildly.
The arm spun like a drill, hidden by the hair, and it formed a drill shape with the hair and thrust it forward.
“Buki Drill Break─!!!”
“The [Idol’s Body] is extraordinary.
With just this one Skill, if Wakamou’s capabilities were fully realized, there would be nothing he couldn’t do!!
Crack!!!
Wanda Haye’s two fists surged forward, crushing everything, while the hair drill confronted them.
Like Sadako, increasing destructive power by repelling Mana, the drill began to wear down.
As it rapidly ground down, with the nails disappearing and the fingertips vanishing, Wakamou spun the other hand like a drill and collided.
“Shine─!!!”
Pushed by overwhelming output.
Determined, she cast her [Skill].
With dazzling light pouring out from her body, smoke rose from Wakamou’s entire body and began to melt.
Wakamou, who had experienced this in Russia, looked with disbelief— from the stands, [Professor] recognized it and shouted.
“The [Radioactive Mutant Bear]’s [Radioactivity] Skill…!! Emitting radiation?!”
Wakamou once considered if [Idol’s Mineral] could include uranium.
However, he refrained because he thought doing such a thing would truly make him a monster. Yet, our crazy Manager finally did it.
Now, South Korea has become a nation equipped with radioactive bear missiles(!) Inari, my goodness!!
“Spark──!!!”
“Kyaaah!!!”
The dread aura of death emitting radiation from Manager Wanda Haye caused the drill to shatter and pushed Wakamou back.
As victory visibly tilted in Wanda Haye’s favor, even the Climbers watching stood up instinctively for a better view.
“I think I won!!!”
“…Did you forget, Manager…”
“Huh…?”
“The winner is always the one with courage!!”
“That famous line?!”
There was a smaller drill inside the exploding drill─ but it was a different color.
Wakamou Inarizushi deployed [Idol’s Mineral] without a Skill.
He liquefied his arm with the liquefaction Skill included in the Idol’s Body and solidified it into a drill shape.
“Something available for WataMates from 2 months─ Tsubnodrill!!!!”
“If it’s a drill, then it’s a masterpiece mecha genre…!!”
“And you overlooked it, Manager!! Idol’s ultimate move!!”
As Wakamou opened his mouth, all eyes were on the drill, and Wanda Haye realized her mistake.
“Gigantic Breath!!”
“Fwoosh──!!”
Wakamou’s secret final attack, blasting through his mouth, directly hit Wanda Haye’s head, sending her sliding back several meters before she collapsed weakly.
No matter how strong one is, losing one’s head means they cannot survive… except for Wakamou!!
“That’s not how humans fight.”
The King of Authority burst out laughing at the truly ridiculous scene, patting Trung Hieu on the back.
He was genuinely upset when he lost to Wakamou in boxing, but watching this made him grateful for fighting with fists.
The faces of those slated to be the next opponents darkened.
How do you beat a Fox Deity shooting beams from its mouth…?
“Aren’t you fighting childishly, Captain?”
“Ha! Sadako! Life is meant to be childish to be fun.”
※※※
“Ben, come and see this.”
“…..Amazing.”
The scientist researching [Humans] came closer at a colleague’s call and looked through a microscope.
“Incredible…. Is it a [Body Composed of Pure Mana]…?”
Currently, all humanity had some [Mana].
There was even a theory that those with high Mana numbers became Climbers.
In this sense, the ancient being called [Human] was an incredibly valuable material.
Composed purely of Mana, without internal organs, they needed neither food nor sleep.
It was incomprehensible how humans could evolve in this way.
“Even monsters display [Class]… But why [■■]?”
“──And I heard you acquired information related to the [Man-eater], Ben.”
“Sigh…..”
Ben, who sighed automatically at the mention of Amelia, his friend’s daughter.
‘Man-eater is an abnormal class.’
An odd class from the first-generation Legendary Class that was disproportionately balanced.
─Why such a class existed, perhaps the answer lies in the “past.”
Ancient humans who completely transcended the species known as humanity, turning into something else.
With the resurrection of the Tower, as Mana concentrations on Earth increased, their objective began to move.
“──How did the [Guardian] connect with those guys?”
Ben, who consistently received updates from the U.S. government, still couldn’t understand it.
It was the emergence of a hostile force against humanity, targeting the Tower and fighting Climbers.
It was suspected that the [Guardian] took such beings and disappeared in Antarctica, but the issue was that it was incomprehensible.
“Remember, the Pope asked for help from the U.S. government?”
“Ah, that’s right….. Wasn’t it similar to this?”
“Isn’t it worse? That was a Mana ghost. This one, the body has evolved into Mana, changing the species.”
His colleague likened it to changing the species completely like the 【Legendary Class】.
The current Pope, under some unknown curse, had his entire body changed into Mana.
Fearing death if Mana reached zero… understanding the desperation was one thing, but Ben felt an eerie unease.
After all, there are stories about something existing beneath the catacombs of Italy.
“Anyway, the weakness of these folks is ‘Piercing Power.’──Likely a compatible monster would be the 【Gazer】, right?”
His colleague shrugged, expressing doubt about winning against creatures living underground and blind.
They were rumored to live clustered beneath the catacombs.
At some point, it had completely become a labyrinth, inaccessible to anyone not affiliated with the Vatican.
Deep inside it—what might be stored there?
Although not recorded in history, perhaps there is a reason why the Vatican was built in that location?
Considering the [Sacred] suppresses [Mana], [Humans] wouldn’t even be a challenge.
If they still hadn’t figured out what’s underground, then the opponent is probably a different kind of monster.
“I don’t know how the world will turn out.”
Honestly, it didn’t matter to him.
He just hoped for salvation for the child who sought freedom for suffering souls as they climbed the Tower.
If there’s a God, that earnest prayer might be granted.
──Perhaps, they should’ve prayed to a different God.
Thus thought Ben, as he continued his research on [Humans].
…..
…
“Paroma!!”
“I told you not to jump out of other people’s closets.”
Ava, brushing her teeth, responded nonchalantly, as it was her second time and she was getting used to it.
The Oracle grumbled, saying he didn’t want such a [Skill], and walked out.
“So, are you going to give another prophecy, Morpheus?”
“Well….. it’s kind of ambiguous, you see.”
Oracle lamented that the [Black Tower] seemed to obstruct foresight.
While he knew the massive tower was moving somewhere, he couldn’t tell the target, so he rubbed his crystal ball.
Aside from that, there was the [Italy] arena competition happening now.
He mentioned a dire prophecy descending on the [Catacomb] existing beneath.
“In deep, dark depths─ it seems something ancient humanity sealed exists!! As if they prepared for a distant future. The [Guardian] is seeking it.”
“Speaking of which, if our boss was around, wouldn’t there just be more Climbers and not more Legendary Classes? Why be adversaries with us?”
In response to Ava’s logical comment, Oracle was left speechless.
Legendary Class was problematic, but Climbers were rather helpful, the more they existed.
One would think the [Guardians] would be cheering them on to increase their numbers and prevent the birth of Legendary Classes, but they couldn’t understand why they were so bothersome about it, complaining.
“You’re saying because [Humans] awakened under the influence of the [Black Tower], monsters woke up in the catacombs too?”
“But they awakened a bit earlier, right? By about a year.”
─Surely, if such information existed, Ava would have overheard it.
If rumors spread abroad that a monster lived beneath Italy, it would be a problem, so Italy would have resolved it with foreign help.
There isn’t much time left; the truth is likely in Italy’s efforts to somehow manage it.
There are Saints, Champions, numerous Paladins, and Clerics, so what concerns could they have?
In truth, they too would want to swiftly resolve the matter of monsters suddenly nesting underground.
“Anyway. Oracle? You saw the video, right? The one our little Emperor uploaded, a [Black Tower] video. Know anything?”
“Hmm….I don’t know? At any rate, the Vatican prohibits idol worship, so it’s time for a move, Neo.”
“…Sigh.”
Carrying a grumble and picking up his gun holster, Ava made a gesture to move.
Of course, he wasn’t thinking of going alone. He had already arranged contact with teammates.
Liu Ying and Asuka, running a store and doing business in Russia quickly used [Wakamou 1F] to join up.
“He just got involved with the Black Tower, not long ago.”
Liu Ying, who grumbled about it not even being 2 hours, went to her room, equipped herself with gear.
To identify the [creature existing in the catacombs under Italy].
And to prevent any unknown content from being handed to the [Guardian], Ava took action.
“Let’s make this a membership video, shall we?”
“Oh, Mami is smart.”
“And might as well call someone who’s free now because some people are busy in Italy.”
Ava said they should call someone not currently busy because Adeleheid and Sadako were busy with the tournament.
Wouldn’t they call a member of Wakamou Corporation?
“Thanks for calling me!”
“No, I just thought it was necessary.”
“All I know is conspiracy theories, though?”
“We have Oracle, what’s the need?”
Isn’t he more accurate than Oracle? Both Ava and Asuka had much to say but kept their mouths shut.
With Robert finally joining! The 5 members headed for Italy.
“This feels like something I saw in JoJo!”
“Don’t talk bad things, Asuka.”
This is JoJo part 5 heading to Italy, at least two people die here.
Buying a ticket and preparing to board a flight to Italy, Liu Ying suddenly stopped in unease.
I think I forgot something……
…..If none of the agency people are mentioning it, including me, it’s probably nothing.
-Isn’t White Dragon attending the tournament?
“Oh, no! I’m going to do a VTuber Broadcast!! I will release a new song soon!!”
-Thumbs up if you like Aoji Khan who is dedicated to broadcasting lol
-Our Glasses are the best lol
-How about trying the newly released horror game?
-Let’s duel, duel!
“Alright~ What shall I do~ By the way, the house is quiet today?”
Where did Ava, Asuka, and Liu Ying go on a trip?
Oh well, never mind.
Joseph Khan focused diligently on his broadcast without paying attention.
