As it turns out, when people are pushed to the brink, not only can they not solve math problems, but they still can't do the impossible.
Round three.
The flashbang was shattered the instant it was thrown, pierced by a sharp spear tip, and the lightning-fast javelin directly pierced his heart.

In the fourth round, Hyakusuke threw a smoke bomb at his feet, wanting to hide in the smoke. Then, a figure jumped into the air at some point, and with a katana in hand, killed him with a single slash.
Damn it... aren't you a Gun Saint? Why are you using a sword for no reason?
'The Gun Saint is a warrior skilled in using guns, but no one said he has to use a gun. If conditions allow, he will also use a sword, or a firearm... Besides, when it comes to killing enemies, if a hoe can kill, then use a hoe. What's there to fuss about...'
No, no, speaking of which, didn't I come here to learn gun techniques? What does this have to do with gun techniques?
...
Huff.
Hyakusuke was exhausted. He wanted to stand up straight to catch his breath, but he was so tired that he couldn't even crawl, like a dead dog.
"Lake Master, how many times have I died?"
'46 times... but, you seem to be mentally exhausted.'
The Lake Master's tone was slightly apologetic.
'I forgot you were too weak, even your mental energy is weak. It seems this kind of training can't exceed a hundred times a day... Rest for another quarter of an hour~~ Huhu, the dream world has one advantage, and that is the difference in the speed of time compared to the outside world. You can catch your breath more before challenging the Gun Saint again.'
While the two were talking, the bloody battlefield of the human-monster war froze like a scene in an old photograph.
Yuki Onna Hime can also control this dream, as if pressing the pause button, everything stops flowing.
"No, it's enough."
Hyakusuke gritted his teeth.
"Even if others say I'm too impatient, I want to become stronger as much as possible."
Precisely because he deeply knew his powerlessness and weakness, he wanted to become stronger faster.
'Even if you say so, you can't push yourself too hard.'
"I know, but I'm also very unwilling... Isn't the current Gun Saint only one-twentieth of his original power? Can't I even withstand one of his moves?"
Being weakened to this extent, yet he can't even withstand a casual move from the Gun Saint, how much of a small fry is he?
He tightly pursed his lips and gripped the seven-section staff in his hand... Even if it's just once, he must block one move from the Gun Saint.
'Very well, then continue to work hard...'
Yuki Onna Hime acknowledged his will and restarted the paused time. The sound of the wind, the bloody scent, and the samurai in armor approached Hyakusuke like ghosts and gods...
...
"I'm exhausted."
Hyakusuke woke up. In last night's dream, he died a full seventy times.
From beginning to end, the Gun Saint basically killed him with one move, and there was no chance to parry or resist.
Moreover, the opponent's methods of killing enemies were also strange and varied, not limited to the "gun" in his hand at all.
Hyakusuke was actually not stabbed to death by the gun very often. More often, he was killed by stones swept out by the gun barrel (accelerated like bullets), piercing vital parts of his body, or by stones thrown or kicked out by the Gun Saint, or by having his skull crushed or his neck broken by the butt of the gun.
Once, he was pierced through the thigh by the tip of the gun, and then thrown about ten feet into the air by the spear, falling to his death from the air.
He remembered that the cause of death in the sixtieth round was that, during his rapid retreat, the Gun Saint casually picked up a broken sword from the battlefield and threw it from dozens of feet away, hitting his forehead.
Later, there was also the time when the Gun Saint used the tip of his gun to pick up a huge monster corpse, similar to an elephant, from the battlefield, threw it into the air, and it fell like a fly, crushing him to death.
"What a beast... This Gun Saint's attacks are completely arbitrary, without any fixed patterns. Is it because this guy is so powerful that killing people is just a matter of mood, or is he used to using the battlefield environment to kill people."
Hyakusuke sighed.
It's also possible that when dealing with a weakling like him, there's no need for any "techniques". He hasn't forced the Gun Saint to use gun techniques.
After getting up, he stretched and found that Little Tapir was sleeping in his sleeve. Because it was a newly born shikigami, helping him connect to the Lake Master's mirage last night must have been quite strenuous.
He raised his head and found that it was a clear morning after several days.
"Okay, today I can go to Gangoji Temple. After sweeping the grave, the work can be said to be completed."
...I hope today can also pass peacefully.
Hyakusuke sincerely prayed in his heart.
Afterwards, harboring this naive thought, he immediately received a terrible message.
...
"Wa-wait... Lord Matsudaira, do you mean that this time we've come to Gangoji Temple, in addition to sweeping the grave, you also plan to obtain the two treasured swords entrusted to the head priest of Gangoji Temple by the former head of the Tsukigahara family."
"Shh~~ Keep it down."
The old man Matsudaira lowered his voice. He looked around, probably using spiritual power to investigate the surroundings. Only then did the old man breathe a sigh of relief and continue to explain.
"That's right, they are the symbols of authority for successive family heads."
The old man added, "One of the treasured swords is called Mayowa-o, and the other is Mizuwawahime-no-tsurugi. These two famous swords, one yin and one yang, one female and one male, are both rare treasures passed down from the first family head. We must obtain these two swords this time."
"However, someone may come to obstruct us along the way. The worst-case scenario is that we may have to fight."
This old retainer added.
"No... we won't really fight. I suspect it will likely turn into a standoff, and when that time comes, I hope to get your support, Hyakusuke-dono."
Damn it, this is completely different from the game...
Hyakusuke naturally knew about these two treasured swords.
Mayowa-o and Mizuwawa-no-tsurugi are both A+ level treasured swords. If the protagonist can awaken, these two rare treasures can even break through to S-rank. These are also the two pieces of equipment that best fit the protagonist in the game.
Of course, in the game, you can give the protagonist some powerful items, but the main storyline plus animated CG scenes, the protagonist always uses the two treasured swords.
Moreover, in the game's main storyline setting, the protagonist overcomes the crisis by relying on these two swords, rather than other equipment that players like.
'Speaking of which... Tsukigahara Yami didn't take out these two pieces of equipment before either. I remember in the original game, after a certain plot ended, Matsudaira Inomaro said that the time was ripe and suddenly took out two swords. Could it be that there is a hidden plot in between, where he ran to Gangoji Temple to secretly retrieve the swords.'
He looked at the old man with a questioning gaze.
The game's plot is definitely detailed and appropriate, it is impossible to explain everything, but because Yami has become a woman, some parts of the story flow have also changed—
'...Butterfly effect?'
Hyakusuke licked his dry lips.
"Lord Matsudaira, based on my status, I shouldn't interfere in this matter, but now, Kurohimeyama and Tsukigahara have formed an alliance. Although my abilities are weak, as long as you say there is a need, I will definitely do my best to help you..."
The old man Matsudaira looked at him deeply, and suddenly smiled.
"Hyakusuke, you really saw through 'Ake-san's' identity, didn't you?"
"Eh?"
"There's no need to hide it. I'm just old, not blind. Besides... even Ayaka can know about this, if an old man like me doesn't know, then I would be too sorry for the previous family head."
The old man Matsudaira made a low sound.
"Ake-san, is Yami-sama... Next, in order for the plans of Kurohimeyama and the Tsukigahara clan to proceed smoothly, we do need to join hands and cooperate."
He didn't continue to hide it, and directly revealed the secret of competing for the position of family head.
—Yaneya Tomoe, the eldest daughter of the "Acting Family Head" of the Yaneya clan, which is the largest surviving force of the branch family faction;
—Kukutsu Ikki, the "traitor" who joined the Imperial Court faction and became the tenth seat of the Holy Guard Twelve;
These two people are Yami's competitors.
'This... isn't this the intermission plot of the future third chapter, where Kukutsu Ikki and Yaneya Tomoe appear, and both of them pose a threat to the protagonist Yami's position as family head?'
Hyakusuke's mind was also desperately thinking.
Okay, now... he can be sure that the original story flow seems to be accelerating.
"But, no matter whether it accelerates or not, if you want the subsequent plot to continue... Mayowa-o and Mizuwawa-no-tsurugi, these two treasured swords, are key items."
Hyakusuke finally came to a conclusion.
"If I don't help the protagonist Yami obtain these two treasured swords, the possibility of the future plot ending in GG will increase. It seems that I must find a way to help her retrieve these two treasured swords."
