Chapter 82: Domain Expansion.
Thump!
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this one now!" Noritoshi Kamo blocked with both arms as Kinji Hakari threw a punch, sending him flying tens of meters away. The sensation of being hit was also extremely strange, like an inescapable friction.
"Don't you guys push your luck..."
Mechamaru, standing in the distance, prepared to unleash its full power. The mechanical shell on its face opened up, revealing a giant cannon from within. The palm of its right hand did likewise, and the cursed energy within its body surged dramatically.
At this moment, in some dark room unknown to others, huge cursed energy tubes were currently transporting cursed energy at full capacity. The sheer volume of this cursed energy was actually no less than Okkotsu Yuta's.
At the very bottom of the cursed energy tubes was a man completely covered in white bandages. He roared, "Don't you guys push your luck! Watch me destroy you! Cannon Curse Enhanced Form, Double Great Purification Cannon!"
"Voom!!!"
With the cursed energy cannon in its mouth taking the lead and its right hand assisting, it fired at Kinji Hakari in the narrow path. The extremely compressed and ejected Great Purification Cannon destroyed everything in its path.
Even the walls were directly blasted through, showing its immense power.
Regarding the previous battle with Tatsuro, they had merely gone to probe his strength. Once they had a rough idea, they naturally intended to leave. The disabled arm was a complete accident.
If his arm hadn't been disabled, it should have been a 'Triple Great Purification Cannon' right now, though he wouldn't dare use it (and couldn't use it at this moment either). As a killing move, he believed Kinji Hakari would die if hit by this attack. After all, Reverse Cursed Technique wasn't some dime-a-dozen technique that everyone knew, right?
"Honestly, what the hell is with this Tokyo school bunch? Suddenly rushing out and attacking without a word." Noritoshi Kamo rubbed his somewhat aching arm and asked, "How is it, Mechamaru?"
"Please call me Ultimate Mechamaru now."
"..."
"How is it now, Ultimate Mechamaru?"
"It's fine. He probably won't die." Ultimate Mechamaru glanced at the area blasted by the 'Double Great Purification Cannon.' The high wall, reinforced by jujutsu, now had a hole, with red liquid dripping down like water droplets, indicating the high temperature.
"The path has been blasted open, huh..."
Noritoshi Kamo didn't know what to say at this moment. This junior was like he was using a cheat; the amount of cursed energy in his body was terrifyingly large. Before the exchange event began, he had been assigned the position of captain and didn't know much about this junior.
But when the match was suspended yesterday, he had been curious enough to ask the principal. The answer he received was astounding.
Due to a Heavenly Restriction, he was born without the flesh of his right leg below the knee, and he couldn't control anything from his waist down, meaning he was paralyzed.
Even faint moonlight could burn his skin. In exchange for losing his physical body, he gained this astonishing amount of cursed energy.
It was hard to imagine how he had survived before, spending all his days in a dark, damp underground space, like a cage...
"Let's go, let's check on Todo's side..."
Before Noritoshi Kamo could finish speaking, Kinji Hakari's voice came from a distance, "That cursed energy cannon sure packs a punch! It almost killed me!"
At this moment, Kinji Hakari was covered in blood, but he seemed not to care. He tore off his damaged clothes and walked towards the two, his eyes blazing with passion.
"How is that possible?" Ultimate Mechamaru was greatly alarmed. That attack had hit him squarely! Why could he still walk?
"Of course, it's willpower! Let us play happily! After all, I'm a gambler! Domain Expansion: Idle Death Gamble!"
Kinji Hakari brought his hands together, and the surrounding space transformed. Since a Domain Expansion is a sure-hit, the rules of Hakari's domain and technique were directly revealed within Ultimate Mechamaru's and Noritoshi Kamo's minds.
The two were shocked that this person could actually use a Domain Expansion and began to read the so-called game rules.

Rule Explanation
Idle Death Gamble is a domain based on a real-life pachinko game machine. The rules are very simple!
Just collect three identical patterns (character symbols) to hit the jackpot! If I (Kinji Hakari) hit the jackpot, I get some kind of extra reward! What could that reward be? Please look forward to it after winning!
Game Flow
The jackpot probability is approximately 1/239. The "Kakuhen" (probability change) entry rate is 75%.
"Kakuhen" is an abbreviation for probability change. It means adjusting the jackpot probability to increase the chances of winning a big prize.
Each time I spin, I will play an animation sequence, and then I can declare "Riichi."
"Riichi" is the state of being one symbol away from a jackpot of three identical patterns. The animation sequence refers to the state of waiting for a win; "Jitan" can be used to shorten the time.
"Jitan" is an abbreviation for time reduction. It refers to an auxiliary mechanism that reduces the animation playback time, allowing players to get more and faster lottery opportunities.
Preview Performance
Before the animation starts, pachinko balls must enter the "winning zone" to start the jackpot draw animation. During this process, if more pachinko balls enter the winning zone, they will be stored as "reserved balls." After the current performance ends, the draw will be conducted.
"Reserved balls" are divided into green, red, and gold. The corresponding colors will grant x1, x2, and x3 multipliers. This multiplies the original single draw animation performance. There is even an extremely small chance of x4 (consuming only one draw chance). In most cases, it's purely an animation performance to stir the player's emotions. If x4 is drawn, it means a jackpot.
During the animation performance, when the train starts to enter the station, it will also have the same effect. The train doors open, bursting forth with green, red, or gold. When a rainbow color appears, it also means a jackpot.
Riichi Actions — Three Stars (Max Stars)
Transport IC Card Riichi — Expectancy: One Star.
Seat Scramble Commute Riichi — Expectancy: Two Stars.
Absentminded Express "Holding It In" Endurance Riichi — Expectancy: Two Stars.
Resplendent Friday Last Train Riichi — Expectancy: Three Stars.
If the Resplendent Friday Last Train Riichi develops, a "Gekiatsu" (intensely hot/high excitement) performance with an expectancy exceeding 80% will occur.
The higher the expectancy, the greater the probability of hitting the jackpot. Even for Riichi with lower expectancy, as long as a "Chance Up" can be drawn, it may also lead to a jackpot.
Chance Up
Yume Background: During Riichi, a special photo of the heroine, Asagiri Yume, will appear.
Amanogawa Cut-in: During the Riichi performance, senpai Amanogawa will appear to help.
Group Preview: Words outside the train could mean a jackpot?
