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

Chapter 362 Performance is not the key to combat... Bullshit!
"Qiang!"

Inside the special simulated combat training room of the Second Division, the sound of metal clashing against metal suddenly rang out, followed by silence. As if triggering a chain reaction, in the next second, sword blades and spear tips clashed fiercely, and then the entire space was filled with the incessant clanging of metal striking metal.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

Dazzling sparks flashed frequently. At this moment, the two singers who were once part of the Zwei-wing group were traversing space at an astonishing speed. The cold-blooded Tenyu Habakiri and the golden-red Gungnir clashed heavily like two storms.

Their ultra-high-speed movement made their figures appear like ghosts, intersecting, separating, chasing, dodging, and moving like shooting stars. Each encounter caused the air to roar, and all the simulated buildings around them were completely destroyed.

—Neither superior nor inferior.

While Tachibana Hibiki and Yukine Chris were watching, they both had the same thought.

These two know each other perfectly. They've been partners for a long time and have an amazing chemistry. They can tell what the other might do next with just a glance and imagine how the other will make a move. Neither of them can overpower the other with just their moves. So the only thing that determines the outcome between them is performance!

Originally, the higher adaptability coefficient of the artifacts would have allowed Kazanari to unleash greater power than Ame no Kanade. However, now that Ame no Kanade can ignore the load and unleash Gungnir at the cost of damaging her body, performance is no longer the key factor in their battles.

So, how can one win when both sides are evenly matched?
Yukine Chris: "It's probably willpower."

Hibiki: "That might be true when you're in dire straits, but Tsubasa-san and Kanade-san are sparring right now... It's probably still that one thing—Evolution Power!"

Whoever can exceed their opponent's expectations in a battle will be the ultimate winner.

With the burst of power, the blue-haired defender's figure transformed into a shooting star, soaring into the sky and shooting out, sweeping through space and fiercely rushing towards Gungnir's armored warrior.

"Azure Flash!"

A slight whooshing sound echoed through the air, and with lightning speed, the narrow, long sword transformed into a wider form, slashing down with a flash of light!

"laugh----!"

Faced with this move that she had seen more than a hundred times, Tenyu Zou smiled. This was the moment she had been waiting for!
The decisive moment is just around the corner!
To Tachibana Hibiki's astonishment, she actually released Gungnir from her grasp, letting it fall to the ground. She smoothly finished her move, then curled up like a spring, reducing the area of ​​impact.

She clenched her fists.

A smile appeared on Tenyu Kanade's lips. She abandoned her powerful spear techniques and instead used the fist techniques she had secretly learned for the first time in front of everyone.

She dodged the downward slash of the giant sword by sidestepping with her left shoulder, while her right side unleashed a violent burst of power, slamming her shoulder into Fengmingyi's abdomen.

"ha!"

Possessing the power of a battle maiden, the Iron Mountain Lean, capable of shattering even steel, blasted the defender's armor into fragments, forcing him to bend over, and even denting his chest cavity.

With a roar, fiery vitality surged from his entire body. Taking advantage of the wind-sounding wings' stiffness, Tenyu Kanade briefly gathered her strength, and the surging power that rose from the soles of her feet traveled through her muscles to her waist, then to her shoulders, elbows, and fists.

Increases step by step, converging at a single point!
A deep footprint was left on the special steel floor beneath her feet, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out. A sense of grandeur and heroic spirit, like parting the clouds to reveal the clear sky, emerged from the red-haired songstress.

—Rising Dragon!!!
If she were to truly grasp something, how could she possibly remain stagnant?
However, even at this critical moment when defeat seemed imminent, the blue-haired warrior also released the greatsword she was wielding, but... this did not mean she was without a "weapon"!

"I am the bone of the sword I hold!"

Two swords "grew" out of her body.

Blue electricity surged and crisscrossed her body, and from her arms, two thin metal swords emerged from where her flesh and skin had originally been, appearing in an impossible position as if they had become one with her.

A fraction of a second later, Ame no Kanade's body would be slashed open, like a rabbit shot through the ground by a powerful bow. Her rising dragon stance would be abruptly halted halfway, and a continuous, flowing slash would be unleashed in an instant!
The Sword of Hell!
One's own body is a weapon; with two swords, one can send one's opponent to hell! This is the Sword of Hell!

Symphogear possesses almost limitless transformation abilities. Once the "locks" are broken, it can change its current form according to the user's wishes. In other words, it can evolve in battle, and even something like that is possible.

Countless sword lights, almost invisible to the naked eye, slashed out hundreds of wounds in an instant, and large splatters of blood gushed from Tianyu Kanade's body. Her clenched fists loosened weakly, and she collapsed helplessly to the ground.

This time, it was Feng Mingyi's turn to show a slight smile.

……

"Are all the seniors this serious when they spar...?"

This was the first time Chris had witnessed a battle between the two departments. She had imagined battles between the War Maidens many times before, but she never expected it to be even more cruel and bloody than she had imagined.

The entire training room was covered in blood! That amount of bleeding must be terrible! Kanade-senpai was completely stained with blood!

"what…"

Xiang loosened her tie sheepishly. She hadn't yet told the newcomers that this minor injury could be healed simply by circulating their divine power and stimulating their inner energy, or by taking some good medicine. They wouldn't even have to wait until the next day...

"Chris-chan, why don't you spar with me too?"

Hibiki smiled and extended the invitation, saying that it was better to experience something firsthand.

"What..."

The girl's voice trembled slightly, and she spoke softly.

To Chris, Xiang's expression was nothing short of a devil's smile, utterly terrifying.

Unfortunately, Chris is a girl who doesn't know how to say no, or rather, her pride doesn't allow her to utter the word "fear," so even if she has to grit her teeth, she has to face the challenge.

……

Killiterlchaival tron

As the girl's ethereal voice sang, the light of transformation dissipated from her body.

Chris is currently dressed in a deep red outfit: a red and black helmet covers her long silver hair, and a black, white and pink bodysuit outlines her figure, which is better developed than her peers, and adds a touch of gorgeousness to the overall outfit. Two diamond-shaped red armor plates extend from her waist to both sides, which are actually rocket thrusters.

"Hmm, what a lovely voice. I'm really looking forward to Chris-chan's singing."

The straightforward praise made the girl blush slightly, and she quickly replied, "It's not that good..."

Yukine's relic is the "Ichii-Bal (Yew Bow)," the bow of Ullr, the Norse god of archery and hunting (Ullr lives in a valley filled with yew trees, as yew is an excellent material for arrow making). It can fire ten arrows with the power of a single arrow. The Armed Gear she uses after transforming is also a bow and arrow... or more accurately, a crossbow.

If you were to recruit her to participate in the Cup Wars, there wouldn't be any other class suitable besides Archer.

In the second department, where almost everyone specializes in melee combat, she should be the first to use ranged attacks.

"bring it on!"

The girl in platinum armor beckoned to the archer class who were waiting in battle, then stood still and assumed a starting stance.

When facing a ranged opponent, Hibiki Tachibana not only didn't close the distance but instead let her opponent strike first, demonstrating her confidence... Once she launched the first attack, it was no longer a friendly sparring match but a one-sided massacre. Perhaps Hibiki saw this as giving a newcomer a chance to shine, showing goodwill, but to the one being let off the hook, it was blatant provocation.

“There’s a limit to looking down on people… BILLION MAIDEN!” Chris’s anger was easily provoked, and her aura suddenly changed.

The bow in the silver-haired girl's hand instantly transformed into two sets of twin-mounted triple-barreled Gatling guns, sparks flying everywhere, the sound of dense bullets slicing through the air clearly echoing around, completely sealing off all possible angles for evasion.

With over four thousand rounds of concentrated fire per minute, facing such firepower that can turn ordinary people into sieves and blast armored vehicles and tanks to smithereens in an instant, unless one possesses the dynamic vision of a martial artist, there is simply no time to react.

Hibiki calmly raised his head, revealing a confident smile. "Coincidentally, I also have some insights that I need to test... the vacuum handle for the shotgun!"

The rest of her body remained still, her feet planted firmly on the ground. Only her slightly open palms began to dance wildly, creating afterimages as they moved. Intense sparks and loud clashing sounds accompanied the trajectories of these afterimages.

"Ding ding ding ding ding!"

That was the result of the bullet colliding with the armor on her palm.

"You're kidding, right...?"

The silver-haired girl exclaimed in disbelief, her pupils suddenly shrinking as she caught hundreds of supersonic bullets with her bare hands under such circumstances.

Just how fast are her reaction speed and punching speed?
Is that human being?
—That's the difference in performance!
The girl named "Hibiki Tachibana" appears to be human, but she is actually a humanoid relic. Having fused with the fragments of Gungnir, she has become one with the crystallization of human wishes accumulated over thousands of years.

After initially adapting that day, her power increased further after frequently transforming into a battle maiden. It's no exaggeration to say that if she were to remain in her normal state for a while, she would be able to rival the power of Amane Kanade's final performance that day!

The stark numerical barrier stood like a mountain blocking Chris's way.

"Damn it... how am I supposed to fight like this?! MEGA DETH PARTY!"

The magazine at his waist extended, and two rows of missiles were launched simultaneously, heading straight for Tachibana Hibiki, who had squatted in a horse stance with her legs planted firmly on the ground like tree roots.

The next instant, her fists clenched, and a powerful aura emanated from her entire body. She let out a loud laugh, her voice filled with excitement: "Rapid Bullet Fist!"

With a loud bang, her gauntlets popped out, a sharp whistling sound accompanying her powerful punch as it met the incoming missiles, creating a series of thunderous roars.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

A continuous whistling sound suddenly rang out.

The tiny fist transformed into a series of fist shadows, shattering all the missiles like a storm. The flames and explosions in mid-air were dispersed by the even more terrifying fist pressure!

闪。

In an instant, Chris knew she had to take this opportunity to create distance, but before she could even catch her breath, a huge fist shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, blowing through the air and engulfing her with a sonic boom.

The fist grew larger and larger, gradually filling Chris's entire field of vision.

boom!
The fists rained down on Chris's abdomen, the force penetrating her armor and instantly making her dizzy and damaging her internal organs.

With a "plop," blood spurted out.

Performance is clearly the key to victory!
……

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ogawa."

Kanade and Hibiki both chose to play dumb, while Tsubasa and Chris looked guiltily at the training room they had damaged, which was now a complete mess.

"You guys... well, never mind, it's good that no one was hurt..."

Shinji Ogawa hesitated, unable to utter any words of reproach, and hurriedly came and went.

He looked troubled, which was normal. Although he couldn't compare to Kazanari Genjuro, he was still one of the top experts in the Second Division and had many things to deal with.

Who knows, he might have to put on the relic and transform into a male "warrior" to fight in a couple of days. Fortunately, he doesn't have to take care of Zwei-wing's comeback for the time being, otherwise he would definitely be overworked.

"So? The human body is amazing, isn't it!"

Once only Hibiki and Chris were left, Hibiki comfortingly patted the head of the "light and frail, easily knocked over" white-haired girl.

"I don't understand..."

Chris blushed and muttered something. She had thought she was going to die, but when she woke up, all her injuries had been healed. There were just too many things she couldn't understand.

It's been like this for months.

She was inexplicably beaten and driven out by Finney, ending up on the streets, where she happened to meet Tachibana Hibiki and Kohinata Mirai.

Naturally, they wanted to lend her a helping hand.

"Back then, you looked completely exhausted but still struggling, saying you couldn't go to the hospital and were very resistant," Hibiki chuckled.

After that, Xiang swiftly knocked the girl unconscious with a chop to the neck and took her directly back to the Second Division.

"that…"

Chris seemed to want to say something, but at the same time a powerful background music started playing.

"青い空は远く広がって(The blue sky is high and far away)..."

That was the ringtone that Tachibana Hibiki had previously recorded.

"I need to take this call first!"

Hibiki made an apologetic gesture to Chris, then ran to the side and pulled a small cell phone from her school uniform pocket. It had a cute black eye-shaped accessory on it, a gift from Miko.

Xiang was somewhat surprised to see the caller ID.

"Hello, is this Sister Carol?"

She listened attentively at first, but soon her expression became excited.

"Huh...what? They found Adam's whereabouts?"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Jagi's grudge, his master's grudge, oh oh!
