Chapter 13 The Brigade Leader of Meteor City 13 (Battle completed...)
The boy's fair skin turned almost entirely pink; embarrassed to speak too bluntly, he shyly avoided eye contact.
The bathroom was filled with smoke, and his soaked white vest clung to his body, outlining his youthful curves. He exhaled a soft breath, and the heat and steam mingled, making the humid feeling even more intense.
Kuroro stammered out, "Can... we go out first?"
Ayana's thoughts got all jumbled up, then exploded with a "boom".
She belatedly realized the hints from Kuroro and the system, her whole body turned red, and she hurriedly uttered a sentence.
"I...I'll go back to your room and get you some clean clothes!"
He then turned and ran away as if fleeing.
The bathroom door was closed again, and the boy took off his clothes, staring directly at himself in the mirror.
The boy in the mirror remained expressionless; his earlier shyness had completely vanished, leaving his face blank and devoid of any emotion.
Having shed all pretense, Kuroro naturally became cold and aloof. He let out a long sigh, a wave of exhaustion washing over him.
He felt more tired than ever before, probably because he had a fever today.
The sound of soft, intermittent water came from the bathroom, and before long, there was a knock on the frosted glass door from the outside.
The girl's figure appeared behind the frosted door, and because of the door, her voice sounded muffled.
"Kuroro, I left your clothes outside!"
Kuroro only replied with a "okay," and before he could even thank her, the girl jumped up from the ground as if she had been startled and ran away.
Kuroro stared coldly at the frosted door, his face ashen and empty, his eyes filled with icy coldness. He exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, a side of him that no one had ever seen before.
His vision gradually went out of focus, his gaze became empty, and he suddenly felt utterly bored.
We need to adjust our state.
If this continues, it will be discovered sooner or later.
As the sun sets in the west, night deepens, and a cold wind whistles through the gaps in the leaves.
…
"I really cleaned it thoroughly this time!"
Uvogin walked ahead with his head held high and his voice booming: "Just wait and see, you'll be absolutely shocked!"
Today, it's just Ayana and Uvogin.
Kuroro had just recovered from a serious illness, and for his health, Ayana insisted that he stay home and rest for another day.
Despite his reluctance, Kuroro bit his lip and glared at Ayana, wanting to follow her, but Ayana's insistence ultimately won him over.
Ayana looked at Uvogin suspiciously, half-mockingly and half-speechlessly, and said, "Don't build me another huge stench-filled place. I'm here to farm, not to collect stench."
Uvogin was very unhappy about being distrusted like this.
He snorted but didn't say anything, crossed his arms and walked forward, thinking with a blank expression.
Hmph, just wait until you see the results of my cleaning, then let's see what you have to say!
He still has the temperament of a young man and a strong competitive spirit.
After walking for a while, the two arrived.
But this time, everything on the land was swept away, leaving only an endless expanse of wilderness.
The tenacious wildflower, having gained more space to survive, grew wildly outwards.
However, the petals still couldn't recover immediately, leaving only a few withered flowers.
"How was that?" Uvogin finally felt a sense of triumph, laughing heartily with a triumphant smile. "I told you I cleaned it very well, now do you believe me?"
Uvogin is a stubborn child; he will always keep his promises.
He spent almost the entire day cleaning the land, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
He stood proudly with his hands on his hips, his face practically screaming "Praise me!"
"You did a really good job," Ayana said frankly, not holding back her praise.
She stared intently at Uvogin and said very seriously, "You've worked hard. Cleaning up this place must have taken a lot of your effort, right?"
Sweat trickled from his forehead to the tip of his nose. Uvogin had never been praised so directly before and didn't know how to respond.
He scratched his head awkwardly, his ear tips turning red, and his voice suddenly became hoarse, as if it had been sanded.
"It's also...it's very hard work."
Despite his imposing physique, Uvogin was still a boy yearning for recognition.
“Since you’ve kept your promise,” Ayana took two steps back, adopting a fighting stance as if inviting, “then I should also fulfill my promise.”
She beckoned with her finger: "Do you need a rest?"
[Host, given your current physical condition, you only have a 50% chance of winning. We recommend using a powerful boost.]
Unlike before, this time Ayana refused without hesitation.
【Why? 】
The system cannot understand her behavior.
This is by no means a wise move. With your current strength, you will not only be injured, but you also cannot guarantee victory.
Please reconsider.
There's no need to think or hesitate any longer.
Ayana wanted to fight Uvogin using her own strength.
Firstly, out of respect for Uvogin, and secondly, because she wanted to improve her combat skills and physical strength through actual combat.
While special abilities are indeed very useful, each special ability is limited in the number of times it can be used, and each redemption requires a large number of points.
Points are earned through missions, and Ayana needs them for every aspect of her life, consuming a huge amount. Normally it's fine, but what if she runs out of points in an emergency?
To avoid this situation, Ayana resolved to train herself.
Uvogin is a very good opponent.
He has extensive practical experience and is on par with her, roughly equal to Ayana.
Regardless of who wins or loses this battle, it will be a significant improvement for both of them.
【learn.
The system will issue you a new task.
[Mission Objective: Engage in a battle with [Uvogin], win or lose, with no time limit.]
"rest?"
His previous shyness vanished abruptly, and a flame of excitement ignited in Uvogin's eyes, his bloodlust swelling instantly: "I don't need that kind of thing."
The ferocious aura of a beast erupted instantly, and Uvogin's body was enveloped by a powerful aura. This aura possessed immense pressure and was deep red, capable of instilling psychological pressure in the enemy even before any attack was made.
Uvogin pulled one leg back and bent the other leg forward, turning to face Ayana with an unusually excited smile and bloodshot eyes.
Uvogin is a completely different person when he is fighting.
He still retains some of his childishness, but is gradually transforming from naive to mature.
In battle, he is like a gigantic beast, without fancy moves or powerful fighting skills, relying solely on his animal instincts to fight.
"I'll give it my all!" Uvogin roared, his voice booming as he charged straight at Ayana, "Don't disappoint me! Otherwise, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Ayana crossed her arms to take the blow head-on. Although her feet didn't move, she was still forced to slide backward due to the powerful gravity, leaving two deep marks on the ground.
She gritted her teeth and fought against the brute force.
The violent shockwave exploded outwards from the two of them indiscriminately, forcing them to leap into the air to find a foothold.
Ayana landed on a low peak, looked at Uvogin opposite her, raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't talk big, or I'll beat you to a pulp in a bit, and you'll look really bad."
The shockwave finally subsided, and the two leaped into the air once more.
This is a battle in which there will be no retreat.
The two met in mid-air, and Ayana first used her legs to tightly clamp Uvogin's waist, using Uvogin's waist as a springboard to spin around.
She went behind Uvogin, locked his head with both hands, and lifted herself up.
The two have completely different fighting styles.
Uvogin charged recklessly, driven by his wild instincts.
Ayana, on the other hand, is quick-witted in battle, rapidly analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both herself and her opponent, and seizing opportunities to attack the opponent's weak points.
In terms of pure strength, Ayana is indeed inferior to Uvogin.
She held Uvogin's head with both hands, finally changed her position, placed her feet on either side of Uvogin's shoulders, and kicked him down twice, forcing him to fall.
Immediately afterwards, she exerted force on Uvogin's head, aiming to kick him to the ground, knock him down in one fell swoop, and make it impossible for Uvogin to hold onto her anymore.
Once the initiative is established and the distance between the two is created, the outcome of the battle becomes obvious.
But Uvogin is no pushover, and he wasn't about to let Ayana have her way so easily.
Uvogin grabbed Ayana's leg, causing her to fall with him. With a roar, he concentrated all his strength in his arm, pulling her directly below him from above, forcing Ayana to bear the combined force of falling to the ground and Uvogin's own weight.
If this attack succeeds, Ayana will faint, and the victor will be Uvogin.
But she couldn't think of a good way to get out of her predicament.
What to do, what to do?!
Is it really over? Is there no other way to fight against Uvogin's powerful strength?
