Chat group: My Fist of the North Star will never lose!

Chapter 270 It's Gungnir?!

3 month 28 day.

It was the tenth day after Tachibana Hibiki woke up.

When Tachibana Hibiki, lying in her hospital bed, agreed to the group leader's request to travel through time for the second time, a white light appeared before her eyes, and then a rhythmic, melodious chanting sound came from the white light.

"Whose present is trapped in the past? Whose winter is counting down to spring?"

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

"Eh?"

Last time I was seriously injured and my consciousness was blurred. I only remember a powerful and warm white light descending in front of me, and then I couldn't remember anything else. Is the group owner such an artistic person?
This echo allowed me to see the person in front of me clearly—

His spiky, upright hair looked like it had just been carefully styled, and the white bandages wrapped around his wrists made him look like a boxer from a fighting game, only stronger than a typical game character.

He wore a tight, bulging studded leather jacket that accentuated his muscular physique, paired with skinny jeans and huge black spiked shoes. The open leather jacket revealed his exaggerated chest muscles.

Wearing sunglasses, yet his menacing aura still radiated outwards... Doesn't this completely contradict the image of an artsy persona?

"I am the legendary Super Beidou Man, a fighter for maintaining cosmic peace, the King of Acupressure, a master of combat, a prince of strategy, a master of hypnosis, a rhetoric expert... I am known as [The Dark Skyscraper], Jagi!"

The self-introduction had too many flaws and seemed to have mixed in a lot of strange things.

The girl, whose brain was almost overloaded, snapped back to reality and quickly replied.

"Oh, I'm Tachibana Hibiki, nice to meet you."

Actually, Jagi, who had just come from Miko's place, was almost dragged away by Miko and her friends to have his image completely transformed.

However, no matter what they did, they could never hold onto or part with that person with the classic punk skin of the end of the century. But Jacques did manage to "temporarily" heal those seven scars, so at least they weren't very noticeable on the surface.

The current focus is on practical matters.

"Xiang, you should be alright, right?"

The muscular man, whose mere presence seemed to make the entire room feel crowded, plopped down beside the girl's hospital bed, casually grabbed the untouched fruit basket from the bedside table, and stuffed a piece of fruit into his mouth.

"Eh…?"

Even though they hadn't exchanged more than a few words, the girl was a little uncomfortable with this overly familiar person calling her by her first name on their first meeting.

In fact, she wasn't the only one or two people who felt the same way.

"The doctor said... my body is very healthy, much healthier than expected." The girl couldn't help but touch the cross-shaped scar on her chest. She could feel some foreign objects inside that weren't flesh and blood.

The doctor's exact words were roughly that she was lucky; the fragment pierced her chest but didn't penetrate her heart, only grazing it and remaining there. During the surgery, because countless small fragments were scattered around her heart, they weren't removed as a safety precaution.

"I knew it... Congratulations on becoming a magic user... oh, I mean, a Symphogear user!"

Someone was secretly eating some of the fruit from the fruit basket while offering their congratulations.

As expected, Hibiki still went down this path, the timeline converged, and there was no way to stop the birth of the being who would beat the world with his fists.

"Want some Oorunji Chacha?"

"Um... I don't need it."

Hibiki Tachibana chuckled and scratched the back of her head, gradually relaxing in front of the seemingly intimidating group leader. Simply put, everyone's style was quite different, yet they seemed to fit together in a strange way.

but,

"What is Symphogear?" A question suddenly arose in the girl's mind, and she simply asked it.

Jagi blinked, his eyes suddenly sharpening.

"ring!"

"To!"

For some reason, Tachibana Hibiki instinctively jolted and answered him, suddenly feeling uneasy about the conversation that might follow.

"You should have seen it clearly that day, the scene of Amaga Kanade Narumi fighting against Noise..."

The girl nodded. The fragments in her body told her that what she saw that day was definitely not an illusion. That power to fight noise, that strong and beautiful figure, had been deeply imprinted in her heart.

"They are Symphogears, who possess fragments of holy relics and can transform to fight against special disasters and noise, just like those magical girls in anime fighting monsters..."

The explanation is so simple and easy to understand that even a fool could comprehend it.

Although she really wanted to exclaim, "So that's how it's set up!", Hibiki wisely refrained from interrupting when she saw that Jagi didn't seem to be stopping.

"The relic that Kazanari Tsubasa possesses is a fragment of [Ame-no-Habakiri], the totsuka sword originally used by Susanoo in mythology. Susanoo used this sword to slay the Yamata no Orochi, which is why she uses a sword as her weapon after transforming. Ame-no-Kanade, on the other hand, uses a fragment of [Gungnir], the weapon of Odin, the chief god in Norse mythology, made from a branch of the World Tree (Yggdrasil) and a magically enhanced spearhead. That's why the weapon is spear-shaped..."

When Gungnir was mentioned, someone's eyelids twitched, and an image of a dignified figure crouching with his hands on his head flashed through his mind.

Everyone else is using Gungnir, so why does Remi look so lame?

"It's Gungnir?!"

The girl couldn't help but cry out. She never imagined that the fragment piercing her body was the legendary Spear of Eternity. But then she remembered what Jagi had said at the beginning, and her body suddenly stiffened.

"Have I... also become a Symphogear user?"

She pointed to her face in disbelief.

"Not yet, but it will be soon. Relics aren't just for summoning Heroic Spirits or farming stats, you can also use them to transform into Valkyries, although that requires a very high coefficient, and so far very few people have been able to successfully match them..." Jagi chuckled and stuffed an "Oh Runji" into the mouth of the dumbfounded girl.

"But you're different. You have fragments of artifacts inside your body, and the fusion is going very well... You're practically a walking artifact... Since you can transform using fragments of artifacts, then fragments of artifacts can naturally transform as well."

"Mmm...mmm..."

After finally swallowing the orange, Xiang paused for a moment, remained silent for a long time, and finally asked.

"...Why me?"

She was just an ordinary junior high school girl who had never experienced combat before, and suddenly she was transformed into a Symphogear user capable of fighting noise...

Kanade looked really cool that day, but he also bled a lot; it must have been very painful for him…

Thinking of the terrifying sight of Amayu Kanade covered in blood, the girl's body trembled slightly.

At this moment, Hibiki Tachibana did not feel that she had enough courage to fight against noise at the risk of her life like they did.

"It's a coincidence... but also inevitable."

Jagi couldn't help but pat the girl's head. The soft feeling reminded him of his younger brother, Kenjiro. The look in his eyes seemed to say, "You can't escape."

After all, that's the 'Gungnir, the Spear of Destiny'.
