I love time travel the most!

Her shouts were tinged with panic, and her body trembled slightly.

But Kobayashi didn't do anything strange to her. After saving her, he decisively let go of her, and the girl felt a little empty after being released from his embrace.

Just as she was about to use condemnation to cover up her shyness, she noticed that the man on top of her didn't look good.

"How dare they gang up on us and launch a sneak attack..."

"Eh?"

Charlotte blinked.

Being ganged up on and ambushed was nothing new to her; she was used to it. Was the man before her speaking out for her?

The girl's heart skipped a beat.

however--

Kobayashi shouted angrily, "Don't you know that ganging up and ambushing are things only the righteous side can do? By doing this, aren't you just saying I'm the villain?!"

In an instant, the girl's mood reversed, and her gaze toward Kobayashi was filled with a hint of resentment.

She was certain of one thing.

Kobayashi is an idiot.

Chapter 132 Kobayashi: I'm going to take on ten of them!

The battlefield was filled with flying sand and stones, and the occasional screams of students could be heard from the surrounding area.

In such a chaotic place, the dragon-shaped automaton Sigmund created a safe little space for Kobayashi and Charlotte, but in doing so, it also endured a lot of unnecessary attacks, and muffled groans reached their ears.

"Sigurd!"

Charlotte cried out in concern.

Normally, she should be riding Sigmund and flying into the sky, taking advantage of her dragon-type automaton form. But now, being protected by Kobayashi has become an obstacle that limits her.

The girl cried out urgently, "You idiot, let me go!"

"Don't move!"

Xiaolin glared at her, then tilted her head and said, "Liu Zi, I'm entrusting her to you for protection."

"Yes, Master Xiaolin."

Suddenly, a gorgeously dressed, elegant maid appeared beside them.

Charlotte was slightly surprised when she saw this, because she had no idea how the other person had approached her. In a battle, she might have been silently killed.

Kobayashi stood up and shook his shoulders.

The deep blue pattern on his forehead slowly emerged.

His excellent dynamic vision allowed him to see that the initial three attackers were just a prelude; judging from their auras, there were probably ten, or even more, lurking in the shadows waiting for their chance to strike.

After the dragon Sigmund killed the three automatons who had initially launched the sneak attack, the remaining automatons finally couldn't resist jumping out.

There were nine figures in total: a knight-style armored doll, a barefoot woman, a six-horned beast, a water sprite, Frostjack, a harpy, a golem, and a ball-handler... plus a white-robed doll in the distance wielding a wand and using a healing spell.

Among them are those who use restoration magic, those who use attack magic, those who are responsible for defense, those who are responsible for charging into battle, and those who can attack from a distance.

Judging from their composition, they are undoubtedly aligned with the Legion, and their target is Charlotte and her dragon-shaped doll, Sigmund.

At first glance, it seems that he came prepared.

These guys don't seem to have any good intentions.

As Sigmund sparred with the giant golem, his low murmur was also quite loud. He said coldly, "You're quite popular, Ciel. All of the opponent's puppeteers are boys."

"...Is now the time to say those kinds of things?"

Charlotte scolded it.

To think she would be attacked by so many people, and to have offended so many people... she must have done a lot. Just based on that, she was prepared for a tough battle.

After seeing Kobayashi slowly walk out, the people who had surrounded him questioned him loudly.

"—Answer me, international student, why are you interfering with us!"

Arrogant and rude, turning the tables on others.

They were the ones who attacked Kobayashi, but now they're blaming him.

"Because that guy was my companion's prey."

"—That guy?!"

Charlotte felt no goodwill towards the person who had just saved her when she heard Kobayashi refer to her as "that guy" and compare her to prey.

"On the contrary, I want to ask you."

"……what?"

"Why attack the puppeteer?! The academy rules forbid attacking puppeteers!"

Kobayashi roared angrily.

Charlotte's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but she quickly suppressed it, because—

"How dare you ambush and surround me, how dare you involve those around me..."

I knew he was angry not because of me.

Charlotte pouted.

"Who cares about you!" the attackers shouted. "Our mission is to disqualify her, whether she's a puppeteer or an automaton, as long as one of them is seriously injured, that's enough!"

It seems they had planned to injure Charlotte from the very beginning.

After all, automatons are tough and resilient, and can recover quickly even if they are injured. But the fragile human body is not like that. If it is injured or fractured, it takes at least three months to heal.

However, this conventional wisdom will be challenged today.

"How dare they... how dare they launch a sneak attack and gang up on us, and it was ten against one..." Xiaolin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Suddenly, he leaped up and kicked the golem that was clashing with Sigmund from the side, knocking it down like a bowling ball. The golem's massive body, weighing at least three tons, fell to the ground.

Wow--

The audience was in an uproar.

After regaining his freedom, Sigmund flapped his large wings and took Charlotte and Ruyu to the heavens.

With no target in sight, they turned their attention to Kobayashi.

Akabane Raishin then came to his side and asked, "Hey, Kobayashi, there are too many enemies, let's fight them together."

"No need," Kobayashi refused, a wicked and sinister smile spreading across his face. "Since they dared to gang up on me, they'll have to pay the price. Let me teach them a lesson!"

After he finished speaking, his body emitted several colors of light, completely enveloping him like a protective shield, as he charged forward, saying:

"You guys, get ready—"

Before he could finish speaking, the explosion drowned out his voice, and fierce flames instantly engulfed him, raising a thick cloud of smoke.

The person who launched the fireball attack from behind.

"You succeeded! Serves you right for being careless!"

The attacker jumped out in delight.

But he was unaware of the "no harm in smoke" principle. When he saw Kobayashi emerge from the thick smoke, he was completely stunned, his jaw involuntarily agape before Kobayashi immediately helped him close it.

He was kicked in the chin, and his face was slightly deformed as he flew backward.

"I already said there were ten people, and there are nine outside. How could I not be wary of you?" Kobayashi didn't even look at him and turned to run towards his doll.

high speed.

Without a puppeteer's command, the low-level puppet was completely immobilized and was easily kicked in the chin by Kobayashi in the same way he had used on his master.

The witch doll was kicked and sent flying higher than the school building, where it couldn't withstand the force and shattered into pieces mid-air.

When dealing with dolls, show no mercy.

"What incredible explosive power!"

"Could it be that he's very strong..."

"horrible."

The people around them were talking all at once, and seeing how brave Xiaolin was, the attackers subconsciously wavered.

"Don't be scared! The opponent is just a puppeteer, he's definitely not as strong as a puppet. Let's all attack together!" Judging from the iron ball the speaker was holding, he was the one who launched the sneak attack at the beginning, and he was probably the leader of these guys.

She glared at him unhappily. Knowing full well that he hated being ganged up on, he still dared to order them around. Enraged, Kobayashi decided to take down the leader first.

After landing in mid-air, I stepped on my foot.

Using the powerful reaction force, he burst forth at incredible speed, charging towards him. His opponent swung an iron ball at Kobayashi, its speed and angle unpredictable; anyone unable to dodge would be sent flying.

But there were no secrets in front of Kobayashi, who had the ability to see in all five directions. He easily dodged the ball with a simple backflip and even kicked it hard as it swung around, speeding it up. The leader couldn't control himself and was unable to dodge in time. He was knocked away by his own automaton, and you could even hear the sound of a slight bone cracking.

Humph, you deserve it.

Since the other party wants to seriously injure Xiaolin, then Xiaolin can let him suffer serious injury, right?

To catch a thief, first catch his king. Once you take care of the leader, the rest are just a bunch of small fry.

Following the principle of eliminating the healer first when fighting the legion, Kobayashi charged towards the automaton wielding a wand, wearing a white robe, and using a healing spell. The others were unable to effectively intercept it, and its puppeteer was so frightened by Kobayashi's ferocious charge that it froze in place.

Without holding back, he slapped the automaton across the face, making its head spin three times.

The same slap landed on the automaton's face, but this time with less force, turning it only 120 degrees. If it had turned several times like the automaton's head, Kobayashi would probably have been arrested.

One by one, they were all cut down by Kobayashi.

Dodging and weaving amidst the encirclement on the battlefield, he toyed with these lowly puppeteers with abandon. His combat skills overturned the common sense of mechanical magic and broke through existing attack methods.

That's for sure.

This is a fighting method from another world, a completely different style from Pokémon-style battles where you control mechanical puppets.

On their first encounter, let alone them, even some experienced puppeteers would be flustered and have a headache.

"Hey, is he really human?"
