Sorry for the sudden disappearance here. I ended up encountering a very rare probability... twice.
I bought a curtain. I needed to install this curtain. I needed to drill into the wall to install the curtain... and hit a water pipe the thickness of a small dwarf's thumb...
The worst part is that nothing happened when we installed it, and only after a few days, when I wasn't at my own house, the neighbor warned that water was coming out through the door.
Fortunately, it wasn'...

"Tsubasa!"
In the airport waiting area, a short-haired girl eagerly waved both hands at a young man.
"Sanae!"
The young man rushed forward, and they embraced warmly, their closeness evident.
Though not tall, he had a robust build and sun-tanned skin from countless hours of training.
Tsubasa Ōzora had just returned from the São Paulo club in Brazil, where he was preparing for the upcoming U-20 World Cup.
As they walked and chatted, caught up in endless con...

"It's been a long time — about ten years?" Jinpachi adjusted his glasses, his gaze settling on the other person, "Tatsuya Fukuda, you were quite the sensation back then. I didn't expect you'd come to watch the match."
"What sensation? I was just a mediocre player in the end."
Tatsuya shrugged, turning his attention to the stage where the Football Association chairman continued his lengthy speech about the players.
"But what about you? Why start this Blue Lock project? I re...

"Ryōsuke! Ryōsuke!"
Cheers and shouts thundered through the stadium.
With a two-goal deficit and time running out, the U-20 team's morale soared while Blue Lock's members wore grave expressions.
They knew the match was over.
Blue Lock's players were spent. Reo had exhausted his stamina, no longer able to mimic others' abilities. Ikki lay collapsed on the ground, too drained even to defend.
In the attacking third, Yoichi crouched with his chest heaving. He had p...

"What?!" Yoichi stood dumbfounded, unable to believe that Ryōsuke had seen through his play.
He had thought his careful planning would fool everyone, but that guy had read it perfectly.
The ball hung in the air — its possession would determine the match's fate! With time running out, this moment was crucial!
If Blue Lock secured the ball, they'd have one final chance at survival. But if the U-20 team gained possession, Blue Lock's chances of victory would vanish.

"Don't come in!" Reo pressed forward aggressively, trying to limit his opponent's shooting space.
His instincts screamed that Sae would be more aggressive this round. If he scored now, it would be over!
Reo lowered his center of gravity and struck like a viper.
Without Oliver's extraordinary physical abilities, imitating those movements rapidly drained his stamina. Sweat already covered his forehead.
Having only entered in the second half, Reo knew he'd have to expend ...

In his eyes, that guy had transformed into someone else entirely. He seemed almost mad.

A smile spread across Yoichi's face, but his gaze was as deep as a black hole.
"That's why your actions are the final puzzle piece, Sae!" He sa...

Houtarou noticed something that had been overlooked.
Was Suzune injured?
Watching Houtarou's expression, Masumi quickly shared what she knew.
"She injured her left leg — fell during the 200-meter race. Since we're split into red and white teams competing against each other, and I'm on the red team, I couldn't get too close to gather information." Masumi explained, "But Kikyō has been by her side helping the whole time."

While Houtarou and the others participated in the three-legged race, the girls' events underwent some adjustments.
The four-way tug-of-war and cavalry battles, though separated by gender, both required the sand field. As a result, the girls' 200-meter event was moved forward.
"Things don't seem to be going well on the boys' side." Kikyō remarked to Suzune as they waited in line.
For the 200-meter event, she was assigned to the third group and Suzune to the fourth. The first...

He was at the white team's pole, arms wrapped tightly around it to prevent it from being pushed over, when he realized something was wrong.
"Damn... Ryūen! We need backup! Where did everyone go?" Ken shouted, "I'm being attacked! I can't let go of the pole!"
Yōsuke, who had originally agreed to help guard the pole, also noticed something was wrong.
Just moments ago, at least seven or eight students had stayed to guard the white team's pole, but now the area around Ken was ...

Facing a meteor vast enough to engulf the entire battlefield, the ninja army had lost their will to fight. Weapons slipped from their hands, falling silently into the soft sand.
Just as despair shrouded everything, fate intervened. Two figures materialized on the battlefield, their presence starkly foreign among the ninja world's inhabitants.
One of them — unremarkable in appearance — launched a simple straight punch skyward. In that instant...

Gold and black Reiatsu collided, surging through the arena and pressing against the Kidō barrier, which groaned under the strain.
As the two strongest competitors, they had few equals across the Sangai. While others might be considered first-class, these two finalists were in a league of their own. Like a certain person, even blocking their basic attacks would be nearly impossible.

Unlike the other Shinigami, Quincy, and Hollows present, he was born into a unique family that combined both Shinigami and Quincy lineages.
Though blessed with a fulfilling family life and happy childhood, Ichigo often found himself alone with few companions. Despite his parents' boundless love, he still yearned for recognition beyond his family circle.

Early morning.
At the Shin'o Academy, in a private courtyard.
At Chōjirō's urging, Genryūsai combed his long beard and dabbed away the beads of sweat from his shining forehead — a result of sitting too close to the fire.
At last, he donned the haori Akira had given him. Through years of practice and countless iterations, the brat's sewing skills had reached true mastery. This haori was his finest work yet.
"Let's go, Chōjirō." Genryūsai said, departing the cour...

Hueco Mundo, Unknown Territory.
Desolation intertwined with vitality — emerald green meshed with pale white. Under the crescent moon, several figures traversed this eerie territory.
The fusion of Hell with the Sangai had transformed Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, and the World of the Living. New territories emerged where realms merged together, creating landscapes marked with distinctive zebra-like patterns.
Yet these changes to the landscape were secondary. More crucial was h...

Lured by the promise of Galleons, Kyle and his companions spent an entire week in a small, stuffy abandoned classroom. They produced over three hundred "Guaranteed Exam Pass Charms".
Of these, more than a hundred were meticulously hand-carved by the six of them, one cut at a time — truly handmade without shortcuts.
The remaining two hundred were mass-produced — they carved the pattern once and used Geminio to duplicate it onto the rowan tree branches. Though this method was le...

During the second week of Easter break, Kyle kept to his routine of leaving the common room after breakfast and not returning until evening.
Instead of heading to his usual spots — the library or the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor — he spent his days in an abandoned classroom on the third floor of the castle.
He wasn't alone. The classroom housed Fred and George from Gryffindor, Cho Chang from Ravenclaw, and Kanna and Cedric. All six students were hard at work in the ...

U-20's ace player Ryōsuke Kira, a former Blue Lock member, has made his name known worldwide! Can he score a fifth goal in the remaining time? We'll have to wait and see!"

Though Ryōsuke had appeared before him, there was still distance between them, and Ryūsei had already taken his shot unimpeded.
However, Ryōsuke wasn't aiming to block the shot itself, but rather to disrupt the ball's trajectory.
The shot curved through the air — an outside spin shot!
But Ryōsuke used his Thunder Swarm technique to read the ...

He watched with interest as an old man — his mirror image — picked up the teacup and, with familiar motions, took a gentle sip of the slightly bitter tea.
The other man set down the cup, savoring the lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth, eyes half-closed as if lost in the sublime world of tea ceremony.

Although Quidditch was the most popular sport at Hogwarts, not all young wizards chose to watch the matches. Each house's common room still had its occupants — Gryffindor with the fewest at five or six students, while Ravenclaw housed about a dozen.

He thought the pass was too ambitious — Ryūsei surely couldn't reach it. That's why he didn't chase to defend; it would only risk being out of position!
But some instinct warning of danger made Oliver move a few steps in that direction.
