In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

After becoming a demon, Edelweiss gained a passive skill that prevented her from gaining weight; no matter how much she ate, her figure would never change.

This power doesn't just work when you're eating; it continues to exert its effect even after you're affected by the power of the abyss!

The Edelweiss Abyss power infection should cause it to gradually evolve into an abyss creature, with its body and limbs undergoing gradual mutations.

Skirk was indeed able to suppress this power, but during the suppression, she discovered a strange scene…

Even though the Abyss has entered Edelweiss's body, why hasn't she undergone the slightest change? Even if it's suppressed, strange things will still grow on her body to some extent.

Soon, Skirk realized that the reason Edelweiss hadn't undergone any mutations might be related to her passive ability to "not gain weight."

Even though she was so weak and had one of her wrists severed, her body still maintained a human form and had not changed!

So it turns out it's a concept-based ability?

Looking at it this way, Edelweiss is really amazing!

"By the way, where's your hand that fell off? I remember picking it up for you."

“That…” Edelweiss said with a hint of helplessness when talking about his lost hand, “I soaked it in formalin as a memento of my failure.”

"..."

Upon hearing this, the two white-haired women were speechless and didn't know what to say.

Put your hands in formaldehyde?

How could you even think of that!

If someone living in Morioh who is a hand fetishist saw this, they would definitely be overjoyed at first sight, because Edelweiss's hands are simply worlds apart from ordinary hands.

But the next second, Morioh-cho hand fetishists will cry out that it's a waste of talent, because it's such a waste, he could have done it!

Perhaps even some moldy octopus head will be dragged out and whipped...

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 43 Completely Opposite Ideas

With Edelweiss's defeat, Moonshadow, as the Prime Minister of the Far East, will definitely not be able to cause trouble in the short term, and Mirror Stream and Silky have a lot of free time for a while.

Just then, the selection competition for Pojun Academy began. As teachers who had each guided two students, Jingliu and Silky naturally came to see the students' practice results.

After all, it was part of the mission for her disciples to reach the Demon Realm, and Jingliu couldn't possibly be indifferent to her disciples' battles, especially considering how much she had taken care of Yanqing in the Luofu Immortal Ship storyline.

The same goes for Skorque; you can tell from D'Artagnan's attitude towards her that she is ruthless as well.

"Huh? You guys are here too?"

However, just as Skykirk arrived at the teachers' viewing area, two figures had already taken their seats, seemingly very interested in the battle.

"Yes, after all, today is a showdown that cannot be ignored, and this old man is very interested!"

"I feel the same way; I want to see how that deep-sea witch will defeat Raichi..."

Although Nango Torajiro and Nishikyo Nene both had smiles on their faces, they still showed respect for the strong.

After all, the two demons from the Far East had already found out what happened yesterday from Moonshadow.

Edelweiss, the world's most powerful swordsman, has been defeated by Skirk. The Far East has designated her and Kagami as absolutely untouchable. Even though they are both demons, Tora-san and Nene dare not make a move against her.

Skirk's strength was beyond doubt, so the old man and the young man focused their attention on other things, namely the battle between the students.

Just as Nishikyo Ningyin mentioned earlier, this battle is a duel between the Deep Sea Witch and Raikiri, and a duel between Kurogane Shizuku and Toudou Touka.

Shizuku Kurogane, the top student among the new high school students, is a disciple of Skyker along with Stella. Recently, Shizuku seems to have received special treatment, often training with Skyker in private. It's unknown how strong she has become.

Toudou Touka…

This woman is no ordinary person either, as she is the disciple of Nango Torajiro and also the junior sister of Nishikyo Ningon.

Therefore, all three people present were extremely interested in this competition between the students.

In terms of individual strength, Silky has an absolute advantage, but in terms of being a teacher, Tora-san has many advantages.

Although this competition seems pointless, who can blame him when Tora-san is such a playful old man?

It's not bad to give it a little push and "win" a round.

Furthermore, this battle might reveal the level of Scooter's coaching skills. If they're indeed lacking, they can certainly make a few sarcastic remarks in private...

The reason they didn't openly mock them was because they still wanted to live!

"Oh? You're here to see this show too?"

"Of course, after all... it won't be an easy thing for that girl Shizuku to defeat Touka."

This statement is certainly true; there is a huge gap between Kurogane Shizuku and Toudou Touka, even an absolute restraint.

Because Shizuku is of the water attribute while Touka is of the lightning attribute, and there is a two-year age difference between them, their combat experience is not even in the same league.

It will be very difficult for Shizuku to win!

"Heh, I think the situation is the opposite... It won't be easy for Touka to defeat Shizuku!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other two changed.

Is it easy for Shizuku to win?

How can it be!

Anyone familiar with the Bladebreaker system could see that Shizuku had no chance of winning. Even the two demons thought so, and despite Shizuku having trained under Skirk for some time, they still hadn't changed their minds.

Shizuku may be able to hold out for a while, but the one who will ultimately prevail is Toka!

But now, Skykirk feels the situation is completely reversed... Why? Has that little girl learned some kind of secret technique?

With a skeptical mindset, Tora-san and Nene focused their attention on the arena, intending to see what Skirk really meant...

—

"You've arrived."

"Judging from your expression, you seem to have figured out a way to deal with me... I heard that two very capable teachers came to the first grade this year, one of them should be in your class, right?"

Dongtang Daohua stood on the arena under the spotlight, his sharp eyes fixed on the white-haired girl who was slowly walking into the arena opposite him, his whole body brimming with fighting spirit.

Dao Hua didn't have high expectations for this battle at first. Even if her opponent was the top freshman, it was impossible for him to defeat her, the student council president and the strongest in the academy.

This demonstrates both confidence and a clear understanding of Dao Hua's own abilities.

A water-wielding cleaver could never be his match!

However, just a few days ago, her teacher, Nango Torajiro, suddenly came to her door, saying that he wanted to give her, his disciple, extra training so that she could defeat another person's disciple in the selection competition.

This isn't just about Shizuku, but also the other three... Kurogane Ikki, Arisuin Nagi, and Stella.

Shizuku was never taken seriously from the beginning because her attributes were severely suppressed.

But now, what appears before Touka is the confident Kurogane Shizuku... Why is that?

Did her teacher help her figure out a way to deal with herself?

"Don't misunderstand!"

"Teacher Skirk's help to me was only in terms of combat skills; she didn't offer any advice or strategies."

"All the methods I'm going to use against you are things I came up with myself!"

Shizuku knew that everyone, including herself, thought she would have a hard time winning this match, but who could blame her when her teacher, Skyker, was so amazing?

After this period of beatings... cough cough, I mean training, Shizuku is now able to compete with the student council president even without using her abilities.

"Is that so? Then please go all out!"

After the host announced the start, the two made all their movements almost simultaneously.

Touka lowered her body, assuming a standard drawing-slash stance, as if if Shizuku were to approach her domain, she would be instantly struck by a thunderous slash, followed by a miserable defeat…

But Shizuku's actions completely surprised everyone. Knowing that water can conduct electricity, she actually chose to actively summon large areas of water, intending to cover the entire site!

If that's the case, wouldn't Dao Hua be able to fight at will?

Anything that hits water can be attacked with electricity... unless it's pure water.

However, having dealt with so many water-attribute swordsmen, Dao Hua had long since developed his own unique fighting style.

"Could it be that Shizuku has another method?"

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Shizuku's body gradually became transparent until it completely merged into the surrounding water...

This sudden scene shocked everyone present.

This is... elementalization!

Anyone who has watched One Piece knows just how invincible Logia-type Devil Fruit users were before the introduction of Haki!

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 44 I'm in your belly!

Shizuku's body disappeared, but her voice still echoed in the area, urging Toudou Touka to issue her final provocation.

"Come on, student council president!"

"Let me see how you intend to defeat me, who possesses elemental powers!"

Shizuku wasn't worried at all about Touka coming up with a countermeasure, because she was now terrifyingly strong!

Each swordsman has their own unique combat techniques; some use abilities to fight, while others use sword skills.

Similar to Edelweiss, he was someone whose ability to cut down blades was not very useful, but whose swordsmanship was terrifyingly strong.

The Toudou Touka before us is a hybrid of ability and swordsmanship. While possessing great abilities, he compensates for his weaknesses with even stronger swordsmanship, making himself even more powerful.

As for Shizuku, she previously relied entirely on manipulating water elements to fight. Even though she later learned a lot of combat techniques from Skirk, her fighting style remained unchanged.

However, once Shizuku learned the skill of elementalization, the situation changed completely.

During her sparring session with Skirk, Shizuku had only just begun to grasp the realm of elementalization, and could only elementalize parts of her own body, and couldn't even maintain it for very long.

After this period of training, Shizuku has completely transformed. Her magic control is already at the A-rank, and now she controls it with increasing precision, until she can maintain her elemental state for a longer period of time.

Some might say, "So what if you turn yourself into a water elemental? The student council president's attribute is lightning. If she hits you, you'll still feel pain, won't you?"

Shizuku found the question laughable.

When did this misconception arise?

Why would someone think that I would feel pain if lightning struck me?

That's right, this is the most counterintuitive point: when Shizuku transforms herself into a water element, she has actually become a puddle of water, and no matter what kind of attack hits her, she will not feel anything.

Skirk has already done experiments on Shizuku!

Even if the water is absorbed into the ground, Shizuku can crawl out from the ground. Even if it is absorbed by trees, it can crawl out from the tree trunk. Even if it is evaporated by flames, Shizuku will be completely unharmed.

In a sense, this is no longer a normal elementalization... but rather an invincible state that cannot be damaged or targeted by any skill!

What's even more terrifying is that this state can persist for a long time!

Perhaps Shizuku herself doesn't have much magic power, but the consumption of elementalization is also not much; it just requires precise magic power control skills.

Toudou Touka had absolutely no idea what she was about to face...

"Unbelievable, is this the method you came up with? Submerging yourself in water to avoid my attacks?"

"But if I'm fast enough, you won't be able to avoid it!"

boom--!

The next second, countless golden lightning bolts flashed around Dao Hua, each one exuding a terrifying aura, and even leaving a charred mark on the ground after it struck.

The water elementals around Dao Hua were completely disintegrated under the lightning, clearly indicating that Dao Hua had already gained considerable experience fighting against water elemental swordsmen.

Faced with this situation where he couldn't find the opponent, Dao Hua chose a very primitive method: as long as he kept slashing, he would eventually hit the target.

Even though Shizuku can turn herself into water, she must always feel exhausted when faced with such thunder, right?

Therefore, in the ensuing battle, each time Touka drew his sword, he prevented the lightning from dissolving the water around him, and also reduced the amount of water element that Shizuku could control.

However, despite this favorable situation, Dao Hua felt a vague sense of unease.

Even though the situation has already turned out this way, why hasn't Shizuku chosen to retaliate? It's as if she's waiting for something.

However, since most of the water element had already been broken down by the lightning, Dao Hua could not stop now. He could only use his sword-drawing slash to continue attacking the remaining water element.
