"call……"
Bushi took a deep breath and stared at the opponent in front of her. Opposite her, Mibu Asaka was holding a katana that was longer than her own, looking at her seriously.
Both girls stood there, motionless.
You only have one chance.
As an opponent they had fought against more than once, Fuse Tsui was of course well aware of Mibu Asaka's strength. This petite and serious cursed child possessed a fierce fighting power similar to her appearance, like a samurai. Once she launched an attack, she would transform from a silent and stubborn stone into a fierce and blazing flame. However, it was not so easy to reach into this flame and take advantage of it.
However, I won't give up so easily.
“…”
Perhaps she noticed the change in Bushi Tsui's eyes, Mibu Asaka also clenched the sword in her hand, narrowed her eyes, and stared at the cat-eared girl in front of her. Bushi Tsui was still wearing the tricorn hat that Fang Zheng gave her, which looked like a witch's hat, and her expression looked so pitiful. But Mibu Asaka was also very clear that the person standing in front of her was Bushi Tsui, the strongest person ranked first in the entire "Xingli Palace", the "Shadow Blade".
You must be careful of her psionic attacks.
Unleashing all her induction powers, Mibu Asaka almost raised her fighting spirit to the extreme. Unlike Chishou Natsuyo, who specialized in psychic attacks, Fuse Tsui's all-around expertise was quite tricky. Coupled with her elusive movement mode, one could easily fall into her trap.
"call!"
Suddenly, in front of Mibu Asaka's eyes, a ball of black mist suddenly erupted, instantly wrapping up Bushi Tsui's petite body.
The time is now!
Seeing this, Mibu Asaka hurriedly stepped back, holding the sword tightly in her hand, and suddenly swept forward. As Mibu Asaka swept forward, a red sword shadow flew out from it, completely tearing the thick fog in front of her. However, at this moment, the figure of the cat-eared girl had disappeared without a trace.
not good!
Looking at the empty ground in front of her, Mibu Asaka was shocked, but before she could return to defend, she saw Bushi Tsui flying out silently from the void on her left. Then the girl stretched out her right hand, and with a "swish" sound, five faint rays of light flashed across Mibu Asaka's chest, and Bushi Tsui stood behind her as gently as a cat.
Just as Mibui Asaka turned around, the badge on her chest "popped" and completely broke.
“Haha…”
Looking at the broken badge on her chest, Mibui Asaka lowered her eyes, sighed softly, and then shook her head.
“I lost.”
“Wow…!”
“Both of them are amazing…!!”
At this moment, the cursed children who were watching nearby also began to clap and shout out in joy.
“…”
Hearing Mibu Asaka's admission of defeat, Bushi Tsui turned around, and the long nails on her fingers were retracted at this moment. Then Bushi Tsui bowed her head respectfully to Mibu Asaka.
"As expected, I still can't beat you, Cui."
"That's because your attack method, Asaka, isn't suitable for fighting me."
Hearing Mibu Asaka's sigh, Bushi Tsui also waved her hands hurriedly, showing an uneasy expression.
"Asahi, your katana attack movements need to be bigger to be threatening, but at the same time the gaps are much larger, and... I was able to defeat you only because the school rules stipulate that the victory is counted as destroying the opponent's chest badge. But if we really fight, I'm afraid the result will not be so easy."
As Fuse said, besides her strong strength, Mibu Asaka's biggest trump card is her "armored" body. If Fuse's target was her heart or head, it would not be so easy to succeed. Unfortunately, the badge on her chest is another matter.
"Didn't you also not use the power of psionic energy?"
Mibu Asaka shook her head, obviously not agreeing with what Bushi Tsui said. She knew very well that Bushi Tsui, who specialized in close combat, could even punch through a steel plate with her bare hands after applying the power of psionic energy. Even if she turned on armor, if Bushi Tsui was serious, it would be easy for her to pierce through her chest and take out her heart.
"but……"
"jingle."
At this moment, a clear bell rang, and upon hearing this sound, Bushi Tsui, Mibu Asaka, and the surrounding cursed children all shut their mouths and looked respectfully towards the place where the sound came from. Soon, Hecate, holding a golden staff, came over and stood quietly in front of the two.
"You all performed very well and deserve praise."
The Great Witch's voice was as calm as ever, without any emotional ups and downs, but the cursed children were obviously used to Hecate's style, so they didn't have any special reaction. Hecate quietly glanced at the girls in front of him, and then continued speaking.
"Next, I have something to inform you..."
"…Royal Navy Fleet?"
"That's right."
Tilia raised the corners of her mouth complacently, revealing a smile, and looked at the cursed children standing in front of her in maid costumes.
"But this has nothing to do with us. You just need to do your own thing. Listen carefully. This ceremony is the first appearance of our Tiandao Palace in this world. You must not embarrass your elder brother. You must do your best to the best of your ability! Especially you... Huo Chui, can't you smile a little sweeter?"
"If it's facing the master, I certainly have no problem."
Hearing Tilia's complaint, Honglu Huochui gave an answer with some embarrassment, while Tilia frowned.
"In that case, you are nothing more than a maid who belongs exclusively to Brother. A real maid should be respectful and smile at guests... Never mind. But according to Brother, Sanwu seems to be a cute thing... No matter what, you all have to work hard. Remember, this visit is a big event for Tiandao Palace, and all of you have to work hard. Do you understand?"
"yes!"
"very good."
Hearing the girls' answers, Tilia smiled and nodded.
"Well, keep standing like this for another hour!"
"Why--?!"
"…New improvements?"
Xia Shi stood in front of the table, his eyes wide open in surprise, looking at Nymph.
"But... Sister Nymph, the variable wing system has reached its final stage. According to your opinion, doesn't this mean we have to start all over again?"
"As long as we work hard, we should be able to complete it within the scheduled time."
Nymph answered while looking at the drawing in front of her.
"This ceremony is very important to the host, and we must do our best in every aspect."
"But, we are short of manpower..."
As the most intelligent being among the cursed children, Chishou Natsuyo has become the senior researcher in Synapse, second only to Nymph. She is now also Nymph's assistant, assisting her in research and transformation. However, Natsuyo did not expect that Nymph would completely overturn the core design of the variable wing system that she had completed with great difficulty after only being away for three days.
"Don't worry about that. The master has brought us new helpers."
“——!”
At this moment, as if in response to Nymph's words, a strange object "floated" in from outside the door. It was a sphere made of brass metal. There was a round halo that looked like big eyes on its front and on the lower left and right sides of its body. This little thing made a "beeping" sound and turned around Nymph and Xia Shi, looking like a small animal.
“What is this?”
"The master calls it Tanji."
And Nymph also quickly introduced Xia Shi.
“It can help us a lot.”
