I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Mixed with excitement, joy, and anticipation.

One minute is still too long... Kurogane Ikki also understands this.

So, it has to be compressed again... not one minute, not one second, but one strike.

Even if his body collapses and the blade breaks, he will pour everything he has into this strike.

He took the same posture as Okita Souji, with a high degree of concentration.

Under Okita Souji's training, he truly comprehended the realm of "mind's eye".

He already had an extreme talent in the field of swordsmanship, and with his complete "mind's eye", he saw through Okita Souji's secret sword.

He also has his own moves, among which the seventh secret sword - Lightning Lightning, is his fastest and most penetrating move, and now, he is going to combine this move with the skills he learned from Okita Souji.

What Okita Souji said before was not an exaggeration at all, she really found it difficult to even swing a knife.

After all, she fought with the world's number one swordsman, Edwards. Although she herself didn't know what was going on, she seemed to have won?

However, that blow also completely emptied her body. She felt that it was a miracle that she could come here.

But... since she was here, if she couldn't even swing a sword, wouldn't it be too unreasonable?

So, Okita Souji had a solution.

"It shouldn't be considered cheating if I use a jet pack? After all, it is also the power of this spirit base."

The Noble Phantasm [Innocent Three-stage Thrust] that she had been using before was her Noble Phantasm when she was a Saber, but because it was sublimated from her swordsmanship in her lifetime, she could use it even if her class changed to Assassin.

But in fact, the real Noble Phantasm of Okita Souji under the swimsuit spirit base is the sub-light speed three-stage Thrust achieved by the super jet acceleration that exceeds the limit of physical ability - [Jet Three-stage Thrust]!

All her remaining physical strength will be used to swing the sword, and the charge will be left to the jet pack.

So... the blue-green magic power gushed out and turned into a propulsion force, causing Okita Souji to rush towards Kurogane Ikki with bursts of sonic booms, like a blue-green arrow of light.

In a place where only Okita Souji could see, a huge and red "WARNING" appeared, and then the words "Tenran Rishin-ryu Mechanism Maximum Output" appeared, followed by the word "成" all over the screen.

And Kurogane Ikki was also wrapped in white magic flames all over his body, and he took a step forward without confusion or hesitation.

After the first step, the sound moved away from him.

He took the gushing magic power into his body, and the power filled his body and almost squeezed his body. The pain was ignored.

After the second step, the color moved away from him.

All his strength was poured into the tip of the knife without reservation, and countless cracks appeared on his body that was already overwhelmed, and the bright red blood almost dyed everything in his sight red.

Finally, he took the third step.

With his broken body and his spirit on the verge of collapse, facing the white-blue meteor, Ikki Kurogane exploded with all of himself in that instant.

The commentary took a long time, but in fact, from the beginning of the game to now, there was not a minute, not even half a minute.

The next moment, under the breathless gaze of everyone on the field, it was as if they were witnessing a supernova exploding in front of their eyes, and as if the sun fell to the ground, the bright white incandescent color swallowed up the entire venue in an instant.

Chapter 105 Promise

What was the result of the game... Okita Souji didn't know.

Because after the collision with Ikki Kurogane, Okita Souji was already unconscious.

Okita Souji's treasure [Jet Three-stage Thrust] in the swimsuit spirit base state is a C-level anti-personnel treasure.

However, in the game, this treasure has a 60% probability of giving the self a negative effect of dizziness for one round. The introduction says that because this is an overload behavior beyond the limit, there is a certain probability that it will be unable to act after it is activated.

Then, Okita Souji was unlucky enough to hit the 60% chance, and he fell into a coma after using the Noble Phantasm.

However... even if the stun effect of the Noble Phantasm did not occur, given Okita Souji's condition at the time, he would probably have fallen into a coma later due to exhaustion.

As for the results, the difference was not big.

When Okita Souji woke up again, he found himself lying back in the infirmary of Pojun Academy, and in the same ward as before.

It felt like this was about to become her fourth home in this world...

By the way, the first home was Edelberg, the second was her dormitory at Pojun Academy, and the third was the apartment that Edelweiss rented nearby.

She only knew the result of the match after she woke up.

It was a draw.

Because the noise caused by the battle was too loud, no one could see how the two fought, and when they could see clearly, both Kurogane Ikki and Okita Souji were unconscious again.

If it was Nishikyo Nin and Nango Torajiro, they might have been able to see the whole process of the game, but they were attracted by the battle of the demons outside and ran away.

Neither the referee nor the machine could determine the winner, so it was just a draw.

But this was a problem, because the purpose of the selection was to determine the six representatives to participate in the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival, and there could not be one more person.

Fortunately, one of the students who had already obtained the opportunity to represent the school gave up the opportunity to represent the school after watching the battle between Ikki Kurogane and Souji Okita. The reason was that she felt that she was too far behind Ikki Kurogane and Souji Okita. Even if she was lucky enough to go to the stage of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival, she would not get any good results. This place should be given to more capable people.

Therefore, the people who were finally decided by Pojun Academy to participate in the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival as representatives were: Souji Okita, Ikki Kurogane, Jushizuku Kurogane, Stella, Nagi Arisuin, and Kanata Kitarohara.

Except for Kanata Kitarohara, a member of the student council, five of the six representatives were first-year students, which stunned people in and outside the school.

Ah, I almost forgot about that old fox Akaza Mamoru.

Although Akaza Mamoru said to Ikki Kurogane that "I will give up pursuing your responsibility only if you win the duel", and Ikki Kurogane was only tied, he no longer had the opportunity to continue to put pressure on Ikki Kurogane.

At that time, Okita Souji used the magical skill [Breath Blocking] to get a lot of evidence against Akaza Mamoru in the Alliance Branch, and also used the magic of suggestion to make Akaza Mamoru personally tell many shameful things he had done.

Just the things she had known for a long time, such as inciting public opinion and accusing Kurogane Ikki of an impure relationship with Stella, were enough to make him suffer. After all, Stella's identity is a princess. Although her country is not as good as Japan, it is also a country recognized by the world.

If it is not handled well, this is an international dispute-level event. The key is that they are still the wrong party.

In addition, the selection of the opponent in the selection of Pojun Academy was also tampered by Akaza Mamoru, which is why Kurogane Ikki met an opponent like Kirihara Shizuya who was specifically restrained in the first game, and met a strong enemy like Okita Souji in the last game.

In fact, the chairman Shinguji Kurono knew about this matter a long time ago, but she did not have enough evidence, and no one was willing to believe her.

The above two points should be enough to make Akaza-maru lose power, but compared with the other stains that Okita Souji dug out from him, it is really a small matter.

There are even a lot of things about the Kurogane family, but this is normal. How can someone with a certain political status have clean hands?

Okita Souji doesn't understand politics, and these things will only burn her hands, so she handed them to Shinguji Kurono. This happened before the game.

Just as Okita Souji expected, when she appeared in front of Shinguji Kurono with these things, the other party's expression was as shocked as if someone was going to set fire to the sun.

Of course, Okita Souji only brought information that was unfavorable to Akaza-maru.

If it was just to kill one person, it would be fine. If he attacked the Kurogane family and more people, let alone whether he could kill them, even if he could really use these things to wipe them all out, it would only cause social unrest.

As a result, Akaza-maru was not only dismissed from his duties, but also never able to turn over.

Some crimes were not committed by Akaza Mamoru, but in order to avoid getting into trouble, those people directly put all the crimes on Akaza Mamoru, making him an abandoned child and the "only villain".

The matter between Kurogane Ikki and Stella was clarified, and Kurogane Ikki also took this opportunity to announce his love affair with Stella to the world.

It is said that the head of the Kurogane family, Kurogane Takeshi, was warned by Stella's father, the king of the country of Familian, saying that "children should not be involved in disputes between adults."

It seems that the king of the Kingdom of Familian is very satisfied with Kurogane Ikki as a son-in-law... or not?

Put yourself in the shoes of the king of the Kingdom of Familian, if you are the king of the Kingdom of Familian, your daughter went abroad to study, and on the first day, a boy saw her naked body, and then the two became boyfriend and girlfriend.

I am afraid she would want to break all three legs of Kurogane Ikki.

During the hospitalization, Kurogane Jushizuku, Ayatsuji Ayase and others came to visit the patient. It was because of them that Okita Souji knew that Kurogane Ikki was in the next ward.

After being discharged from the hospital, Okita Souji returned to Edelweiss.

The two spent a few happy days together again, as if nothing had happened, everything was the same as before.

Until...

"Sister Xiaoai, I want to leave for a while."

The reason given by Okita Souji was to go out and gain experience.

She originally thought that Edelweiss would strongly refuse, but she didn't expect...

"How long will you be away?"

Huh?

Unexpectedly easy to talk to?

Okita Souji was very surprised, but still replied: "About a month, I should be back in no more than two months."

"What can you gain from a month?"

"Uh... can't you?"

It's over, because Sister Xiaoai agreed so naturally, she didn't think about the logic.

"It's because I'm worried that I'll be lonely again if I leave for too long."

Okita Souji gave such a reason, and she felt that this reason should be very logical, and she couldn't help but praise her own wit.

Edward agreed to Okita Souji's request to go out for training, but put forward a condition.

"Make a promise with me."

Okita Souji gave a deadline of no more than two months, and Edward extended it to three months.

"Within three months, you must come back to me, otherwise... even if I have to make enemies with the whole world, I will find you back."

Seeing Edwards raise her hand, Okita Souji thought she wanted to take out her spirit suit. After all, as long as the oath was made under the witness of her spirit suit, it must be fulfilled.

However, Edwards did not take out her spirit suit, but just raised her little finger.

"...What is this?"

"A promise."

Such a childish way of making a promise...

"Didn't you say that one of your few advantages is keeping promises? So... this is a way of making a promise that belongs only to you and me."

After hesitating for a moment, Okita Souji also raised his hand like Edwards.

In the golden sunlight, the two hooked each other's little fingers.

Edwards smiled, like a brilliant flower blooming after the spring rain.

"Pin, hang..."

"..."

"You have to say it too."

"Me too?"

"Of course, it won't work if you don't say it together."

"..."

Okita Souji showed a very speechless expression. After all, she hasn't made this kind of promise for twenty years.

The two people's voices overlapped, and although the emotions mixed in them were different, the voices were equally beautiful like singing.

Okita Souji \u0026 Edwards: "Pin, hang yourself, for a hundred years, no change, whoever changes is a puppy (pig)."

Okita Souji wondered: "Why a piglet?"

Edwards smiled and said: "Because piglets are cuter."

Chapter 106 Let's accept a disciple first

The sky was blue, the sun was bright, and the occasional clouds were just right.

The air was also very fresh, probably because it was surrounded by the sea, the wind was very rich in moisture.

But suddenly, the sky darkened.

It was not the kind of black that came with the night, but the kind that was covered with dark clouds, and there was faint thunder.

A purple eye quietly opened in the sky, and the triple Ba pattern representing the name of God slowly flowed in the pupil of the eye where the lightning was condensed.

The eye formed by the gathering of lightning hung high in the sky, but it did not find its target. Finally, a certain god who was hidden somewhere could only withdraw his gaze in dismay, and the Eye of Thunder also disappeared from the sky.

The dark clouds that seemed to be about to rain also dissipated silently, as if nothing had happened, and the sky was still blue and the clouds were white, and the breeze was gentle.

"Ga, ga, ga! What is that? It's too exaggerated, right? Is it some god who is unwilling to be lonely and still stays in the mortal world?"

In the forest below the place where the Eye of Thunder appeared before, a very distinctive strange laugh suddenly came out.
