"Could it be a doll?"

"It's possible, but it's still too much of an exaggeration."

Kobayashi's terrifying display of power caused the surrounding audience to whisper among themselves, because it was simply too exaggerated.

Charlotte couldn't help but ask Ryuu, and when she learned that Ryuu was a puppet and Kobayashi below was a puppeteer, she couldn't say anything, but her expression was very strange, just like Akabane Raishin's back then.

After a brief but intense battle, Kobayashi defeated nine enemies, including a giant puppet.

Apart from……

"I know, I know! Your weakness!"

The last fodder, sweat beading on his forehead and eyes wide with a mixture of fear and excitement, exclaimed, "You may have strong physical abilities, but you can only perform physical attacks! You can only attack physical automatons! In other words, my automaton—the Water Demon—is your nemesis!"

Beside him was a semi-transparent automaton.

The undine is designed based on the water elemental spirit, and its effect is naturally to transform into water to trap enemies.

For example, automatons that excel at physical attacks are countered by these elementalized automatons, a type of counter relationship that textbooks have mentioned and applies to any world.

"But it's not absolute. At least, I have three ways to defeat you."

"……Aha?"

He was stunned when he heard what Xiaolin said.

Kobayashi ignored him and directly stated three methods: "First, use absolute force to blow the water demon away. Second, I will also transform into an elemental being. As for the simplest third method..."

He walked forward slowly.

Seeing Xiaolin approaching, he nervously had the water spirit envelop him and shouted excitedly, "No matter what you do, it's useless. My water spirit will completely absorb your punching power. You can't hurt me!"

Has this guy forgotten what he just said?

Judging from his fierce but cowardly demeanor, he was probably too nervous and scared to notice.

Kobayashi stepped forward, looked down at the small fish encased in water, smiled slightly, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and the fish subconsciously trembled.

"—Freeze!"

A chill burst forth from Xiao Lin's hand, instantly freezing the water demon. The small fish that were wrapped up were now shivering from the cold.

"—The third type"

Since it has no physical form, let's give it one.

After saying that, he punched the ice block that the water demon had frozen, piercing through the ice and hitting the demon's face. The chin was violently impacted, and the demon's eyes rolled back as he fainted.

"Humph."

Kobayashi pulled his arm out, shook off the ice shards, and then looked at the fallen foes around him, unable to get up again, and roared:

"Who else—!!!"

The sudden roar, coupled with his arrogant and domineering demeanor, along with the mess around the central courtyard, several deep pits, and numerous attackers unable to get up again, created a highly impactful scene that startled the onlookers who were still watching the show. They subconsciously took several steps back, creating a relatively safe distance once again.

But in reality, the damage to the courtyard was all done by the enemy during the chaotic battle. Kobayashi was just constantly engaging in one-on-one combat and did not damage the surrounding environment.

On the battlefield, Charlotte and Sigmund's lips twitched slightly as they watched his domineering appearance.

"Charlene, I think you can hand over your Tyrannosaurus title to someone else."

"...I think so too."

That's way too exaggerated!

With its powerful physical skills, superhuman physique, and exaggerated strength, its ferocious fighting style is just like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex. Its domineering aura is like that of a top-level predator, leaving all the puppeteers trembling in fear.

Akabane Raishin was slightly startled when he saw it.

He could achieve this level even with Yaya's help, and it would be even more exaggerated than Kobayashi's.

However, the difference is that one is a top-level automaton worth a warship, while the other is just an ordinary automaton user. The comparison shows how extravagant it is.

But the humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex on the battlefield were not yet satisfied.

"Kobayashi, there's no need to be so angry."

"How could I not be angry? They ganged up on me and ambushed me! That's the kind of tactic only a champion of justice would use against bad guys!"

"...Are you out of your mind?"

Akabane Raishin couldn't quite keep up with Kobayashi's thought process.

Charlotte, standing to the side, felt the same way, and the angrier the other person got, the more complicated her feelings became. The reason for her anger was not that she felt indignant on behalf of the unfair treatment she had received, but rather that she felt resentful about receiving the same treatment herself.

The girl's heart was shattered into pieces.

"There are some things that Akabane-kun can't understand, and that's the thing I can't accept the most!"

Kobayashi's shocking remarks weren't over yet; he shouted, "While I enjoy ambushing and ganging up on others, I absolutely hate being ambushed and ganged up on!"

His words stunned the person who had been part of the ambush, who was lying on the ground.

"You, you're just being naive..."

"Double standards!"

Kobayashi spoke first, puffing out his chest proudly and saying, "So what if I have double standards!"

His self-righteous attitude, despite being clearly in the wrong, seemed to create a hallucination among those around him, who saw some shameless, aquamarine goddess in him.

Wow--

Even Akabane Raishin and Charlotte couldn't accept this, and took a step back to show that they weren't on the same side.

"But Kobayashi is really strong, he managed to take them all down."

"They're just a bunch of weaklings barely able to control automatons. If it were you and Yaya, I wouldn't have it so easy."

Kobayashi glared at them disdainfully, while simultaneously praising Akabane Raishin and Yaya.

Of course, what he said was true.

Basically, automatons under control can be manipulated according to the doll's will. However, automatons are not purely dolls; they possess autonomy and their own will. If the two cannot communicate, the doll's movements will become sluggish, and it will also consume excess magic power.

In addition, Kobayashi's attack methods are quite comprehensive, which is why he appears so relaxed when he uses [Five Perspectives Omnipotence] and magic to effectively target opponents.

If the opponent were a powerful automaton like Yaya, he would be no match for her at all.

Of course, comparing an automaton to a doll just doesn't feel right.

"Do you understand? If you do, then get out of here!"

"Yes, yes—!" xN

As a result, all ten automatons that were knocked down by Kobayashi lost their ability to fight. After being scolded, the remaining automatons who could still move hurriedly dragged their companions and automatons away in a panic.

The surrounding students were also speechless, and could only stand there blankly.

At this moment, Charlotte walked up to Kobayashi and said, "Don't be so stupid as to think you saved me."

"No, even if I hadn't tried to save you, Sigmund would have saved you anyway." Kobayashi shook his head, indicating that he had been unnecessary and that she shouldn't worry about it.

But it was precisely this attitude that made Charlotte very unhappy. She glared at him for a long time without saying a word, but as she glared, her mood began to change.

She took the initiative to speak, saying, "...Hmph, I'll just ask your names then."

"Kobayashi, just call me Kobayashi. And she is my automaton, Ryuu." Kobayashi introduced herself.

"I am Akabane Raishin, a puppeteer from the island nation."

"Same as above, my name is Yaya!"

"No, no, no, you and I have absolutely nothing in common."

"I am his wife, Yaya!"

"No way! We weren't even registered as married!"

A flustered Akabane Raishin is fooling around with Yaya, who is asserting her dominance over other women, but Charlotte doesn't care about that.

She asked, "Which of you two will go first?"

"……what?"

"Aren't you here to challenge me? Who's going first? Or are you all going to go together? After all, there are scumbags who don't like being ganged up on but enjoy ganging up on others."

She seemed ready to take this opportunity to deal with the remaining two flies that had come to challenge her.

Kobayashi waved his hand, took a step back to create some space, and said, "I'll let it go. You're his target, I won't get involved. Besides, Akabane-kun definitely won't let me get involved."

“After all, I prefer one-on-one to three-on-one,” Akabane Raishin said with a familiar smile.

I have a feeling he's up to no good, and I already have evidence.

"...But I'll skip this one, I've completely lost interest."

Akabane Raishin ignored the expectations of the students watching the drama unfold around him and casually skipped the challenge.

"What did you say?!"

Charlotte glared at the two men, one seeing her as prey, the other capable of fighting but unwilling to come.

"Now that things have come to this, do you think you can escape..."

Before she could finish speaking, Akabane Raishin produced a sphere in his hand and then smashed it to the ground.

A small explosion followed, followed by a considerable plume of smoke. When the smoke cleared, Akabane Raishin and Yaya had vanished from sight.

"That rascal……"

"What on earth is that guy doing?!"

The one who forcefully interrupted Charlotte was Kobayashi, who was even angrier than Charlotte.

"You actually abandoned me and ran off? Are you kidding me, Akabane-kun!"

"……Eh?"

The angry roar left her somewhat bewildered.

—For this reason?!
