You say this is a love game?

But the enemy before us is far from being as hard as "steel".

The ghost girl pressed the keys with both hands, and they suddenly sank frantically. The song "Für Elise" suddenly changed, and the tune quickly went out of tune in the violent technique, rushing towards a rhythm that made the eardrums extremely uncomfortable.

So the notes also have a physical form.

The materialized bass note cracked the floor, and the treble clef flew like a blade, mixed in the sound waves and quickly attacked Mizutani Makoto.

The piano ghost laughed strangely, trying to force Mizutani Makoto to retreat.

But when short hands beat long hands, distance determines victory or defeat.

Mizutani Seining, who is well aware of this, is unwilling to back down even at the risk of injury.

If he retreats, he will be forced out of the music classroom by the piano.

He can dodge, retreat to show weakness to the enemy, and lure the enemy into deep territory, but he must never be suppressed by the enemy's offensive and lose the initiative.

Once you lose the initiative, it will be almost impossible to rush forward against the sound waves of the piano!

So in battle, there will only be one similar charge with the strongest momentum.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted!

What he has to do is to cut off everything that can be cut in his sight!

Mizutani Makoto swung his right sword across, unleashing a powerful, flowing slash, as surging and smooth as a spring. The single strike shattered the musical note, and at a clever angle, the splattered sulfuric acid-like corrosive liquid naturally landed in the air.

After breaking the enemy's attack, Mizutani Makoto did not hesitate. He jumped up with two swords in hand and stretched his body to pounce towards the piano.

The piano ghost was startled and looked at Mizutani Makoto who was almost about to pounce on him, showing panic for the first time.

The piano music suddenly became chaotic. As the piano ghost played frantically, Mizutani Makoto's eyes began to flash with illusions. The ghost's face gradually blurred, but then became clear again...

——It’s his face.

There was blood on his forehead and a terrified expression on his face. His death was so miserable that it seemed as if mosquitoes, flies and maggots were crawling on his face.

court death!

The fear in Mizutani Makoto's heart cannot be induced by a simple illusion. He not only kills enemies in the cracks, but also insists on practicing kendo in the real world. Even if space and time are limited, he tries his best to embody the "Tao" of his practice in other aspects.

Now that his swordsmanship has been rated as "proficient" by Tongzi, and even the "Tao" in his heart has become much clearer, how could he be fooled by such a simple trick?

Mizutani Makoto swung his sword to cut through the illusion, and when the piano in front of him came within the reach of his sword, the enemy's advantage had been reversed!

Unless you're the Pope wielding twin swords, how can a mere mage like you possibly be able to resist a full-strength warrior like me in just a few steps?!

The flowing slash, the smooth sweeping slash shattered the last sound wave, and the piano ghost flew up in panic. Mizutani Makoto stepped on the piano without any hesitation, and his feet made a series of meaningless noises. He kicked up and made a double-blade Yin-Yang slash that connected left and right!

The blade slashed through the body of the piano ghost, and the resin of the vengeful spirit attached to the blade emitted a faint blue fluorescence. Under such a heavy blow, the body of the piano ghost suddenly became a little transparent.

She's much more durable than the girl by the window.

Makoto Mizutani took advantage of the situation and took the position directly. He knew that the piano ghost's way of fighting was to play the piano to fight the enemy, so he glanced coldly at the screaming ghost and kicked the piano lid directly.

Bang! !

The piano lid slammed shut.

Piano Ghost, her expression froze for a moment.

Mizutani Makoto didn't care whether she understood life-and-death fighting or not, but he understood the "art of war" - kill you while you're sick!

He has a cold face, is ruthless and doesn't talk much.

Holding up the two swords meant he was ready for the Yin-Yang Slash, poised to kill her with one blow.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

On the wall near the piano, the portrait of Beethoven suddenly showed a sinister smile, and actually poked his head out from the portrait, and his palm firmly grasped the blade of Mizutani Makoto.

There was a brief pause, and then thirteen dark green spiritual bullets bombarded the portrait.

Yoshiko Satori floated in the air with a menacing look, her palm pointing exactly at the direction of Beethoven's portrait.

The girl was extremely angry.

When Makoto Mizutani started fighting with the piano ghost, Yoshiko Satori directly transformed into a nizozashiki and wanted to help Makoto Mizutani.

However, she failed.

In addition to creating an "unfortunate" debuff for the piano ghost, her spiritual bullets could not get close to the piano ghost. Every time she fired a spiritual bullet, it would be shattered by the sound waves emitted by the piano ghost. Her opponent was far superior to her in this regard.

Helpless, Satori Yoshiko could only watch and wait for her chance to strike. Who knew that just when her older brother finally gained the upper hand, another ghost emerged from the portrait to launch a surprise attack!

How could she hold it in? She just blew him up!

The portrait of Beethoven let out a strange cry, hurriedly let go of Mizutani Makoto's sword, and then dived into the portrait, using the portrait to block the flying spiritual bullet.

Bang bang bang!

When the spiritual bullet touched the portrait, it did shake slightly, but this slight shake... The ghost of Beethoven's portrait scratched its head, and when the frame shook, it reached out its hand from inside to test the impact of Satori Yoshiko's spiritual bullet.

"Idiot! Weakling!"

Then, extremely sarcastic Japanese words burst out from the mouth of this German music master.

Yoshiko Satori's face turned red on the spot.

The piano ghost, with the help of the sudden attack of the Beethoven portrait ghost, narrowly avoided the slash that Mizutani Makoto should have hit.

Mizutani Makoto turned his head and took a quick glance out of the corner of his eye, and saw the smug smile on the portrait.

His eyebrows knitted together, realizing that this was another weird story.

One of the seven incredible things on campus - the portrait of Beethoven in the music classroom.

Compared with other campus ghost stories, this legend is more like a "scary ghost story".

Most music classrooms in Japanese schools display a portrait of Beethoven. Legend has it that late at night, when everyone is asleep, the eyes in the painting suddenly move, bleed, or emit mysterious light. The next day, the eyes are found to be open, closed, or squinting. In short, the painting is mysterious and has no other destructive properties.

Among the campus ghost stories, this one is also one of the less distinctive ones, and seems a bit like it is just there to make up the numbers.

There are even some variations of this legend. For example, there is a similar legend in the art classroom, except that the portrait in the art classroom is replaced by "Mona Lisa's Smile".

But at this moment, this makeshift thing actually used a surprising trick to disrupt Mizutani Makoto's offensive.

"Hahahahaha!!"

In the portrait of Beethoven, the spirit with the image of "Beethoven" on his head was grinning smugly.

Of course, he is not Beethoven. At most, he is just a ghost story portrait, but he laughs heartily in the image of Beethoven, which is indeed quite magical.

Then, musical notes burst out from the portrait.

Mizutani Makoto's pupils shrank and he immediately rolled over to avoid it.

The "materialized notes" displayed by the piano ghost just now turned out to be the ability of Lao Liu.

From the very beginning, this music classroom has been home to two campus ghosts, but one is obvious and the other is hidden. The piano ghost is in the front to attract fire, while the ghost of Beethoven's portrait confuses the audience and makes a fatal blow at the critical moment.

On the wall, Beethoven's portrait split into three human-shaped spirits amidst wild laughter. They all had disheveled white hair and copper receivers hanging from their ears.

One of the ghosts held a baton, another held a violin, and the remaining spirit was protected in the center by the other two. He had empty hands, but was about to sit down in the empty seat at the piano vacated by Makoto Mizutani.

Mizutani Makoto quickly scanned their features.

There is no need to say much about the baton, and as for the violin, Makoto Mizutani also has some understanding.

Beethoven is world-famous for his piano, but few people know that he is equally good at violin. This master started practicing piano and violin at the age of 4. During Beethoven's more than 50 years of artistic career, although the number of his violin works is not as large as his piano works, their artistic quality and value are also top-notch "fine works".

"I didn't expect it?"

"You're an idiot who won't even take music theory seriously!"

"No matter how long you study, you will never reach my level!"

"Go to hell with your pathetic, incompetent music theory!"

Perhaps it is a Japanese ghost story, the mockery of the ghost in Beethoven's portrait has nothing to do with his German background.

A standard Japanese villain, and Japanese contempt.

Makoto Mizutani kept his composure and thought that it was not impossible to fight three alone. The key was not to let these ghost stories occupy the piano again.

He immediately shouted angrily, ignoring the piano ghost that was grinning at him, and stepped on the chair to chop off the baton ghost and violin ghost that were blocking his way.

But when he was about to swing, his right sword suddenly became stagnant.

The violin ghost used the violin as a shield to block his attack. The broken strings entangled the sword guard and were about to wrap around his wrist in the blink of an eye.

Mizutani Makoto turned his wrist and when he realized he couldn't break free, he immediately dropped his right knife.

As for his left sword swing, it encountered no obstruction. The baton ghost tried to deflect his blade with his baton, but was cut in half by his unconscious blade!

The ghost of Beethoven's portrait, who was about to play the piano, suddenly had a distorted face, and the ghost of the violin also hunched over with a hideous look on its face.

Splitting into three, they became more flexible and adaptable, but also more vulnerable. Even a single strike from Mizutani Makoto's enchanted slash would have severely damaged the Piano Ghost, not to mention that after they split up, they were practically defenseless against Mizutani Makoto.

With this blow, one third of them were killed by Mizutani Makoto.

Now the trauma spread to them, causing them to curl up in pain and scream: "You idiot, it hurts! I'm going to kill you and eat your soul!"

He turned his head again, looking at the piano ghost who had also been slashed, and said fiercely: "This time, the soul is mine! I will take three, you will take two, and I want this stupid warrior!"

This conversation was not an intermission. The portrait of Beethoven was coordinated with the piano ghost. The ghost of Beethoven holding the violin was kicked away by Mizutani Makoto and then beheaded on the spot. However, the right knife was pulled away by the last ghost in advance.

And at this moment, the piano ghost flew directly above the grand piano.

The two ghost stories are both cooperating and competing for dominance.

As Beethoven's portrait gazed in shock and fury, the piano ghost unhesitatingly reclaimed control of her "real body." She plunged her fingers into the keys, causing blood to spurt out. She screamed in anger, and the blood splattered into a blood-red curse. These notes merged into the ground, sprouting veins like vines, and rushed towards the people outside the music classroom.

The three people who were still conscious immediately ran away screaming.

Inside the music classroom, Rika Nishimura, who had fainted, had blood-red veins wrapped around her ankles. Her eyes rolled back and she stood up from the ground in a strange posture, taking steps like a puppet.

Seeing this, the Beethoven portrait, about to rebuke the Piano Ghost, fell silent. Throughout the collaboration between the two, he had been at a disadvantage. Now that the Piano Ghost was giving it his all, even if he played, he wouldn't necessarily be able to achieve the same effect.

The main thing is that the piano ghost holds the "hostages".

Hehe, a self-proclaimed righteous and upright person like this...ah?

Facing Rika Nishimura who was controlled by strings, Mizutani Makoto gave a perfect answer with a spinning mid-air kick.

Under the shocked and angry gaze of Beethoven's portrait, the controlled Nishimura Rika flew backwards.

This flying kick almost dislocated her internal organs, and she fell into the pile of tables and chairs, making her physically unable to walk for a short period of time.

The piano ghost tried to pull her up, but it collapsed the next second.

But this flying kick was not without cost.

"caught you!"

In front of the piano, the ghost girl grinned.

Mizutani Makoto used a flying kick to get rid of Nishimura Rika's harassment, but as soon as he landed, a blood-colored vein that came out from the corner aimed directly at the sword in his hand, and when he could no longer regain his strength, it pulled his sword out of his hand.

During the struggle, the sword fell to the ground and was captured by the piano ghost. It was pulled towards the piano with all its might and finally thrown directly onto the piano stand. The piano lid closed with a "bang", and the left sword was suddenly pressed into the piano.

“Hee, hee hee…”

Realizing the current situation, even the ghost of Beethoven's portrait couldn't help but smile with joy, as if he was opening a bottle of champagne at halftime.

The right knife fell in the corner of the classroom, and the left knife was suppressed by the piano.

No weapons left?

Can you fight us with your bare hands?

"Art! It requires sacrifice!"

He laughed loudly.

"Playing with a knife? Ha! Reckless man! These are just the tricks of a fool! Why would a wise man brandish a knife or a gun?"

A shrill laugh echoed through the tinnitus.

The ghost of Beethoven's portrait pulled out a baton from the void and waved it like conducting an orchestra. The notes then condensed into a noose and flew directly towards Mizutani Makoto's neck.

Faced with this situation, Mizutani Makoto grinned.

To be precise, he had a grim smile on his face.

From within Mizutani Seiki's grasp, a sheathless Ōdachi of unbelievable length materialized. The entire process took less than a fraction of a second, practically instantaneous, and the ensuing pine resin of the vengeful spirits flowed onto the blade.

The knife appeared in Mizutani Makoto's hand and was held in both hands.
