In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

"I never expected you to come to this floating city."

A familiar voice rang out from the shadows, instantly wiping away the princess's serious expression and replacing it with... pity and resolve.

Sandoni narrowed his eyes. In the entire world of "Academic War City," there was only one person who could make the heroine, Yulis, show such an expression.

The number one in the Levov Black Academy sequence, "The Poisonous Witch" Ophelia Landorufen!

Sure enough, when the figure emerged from the darkness, it was a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes that was exposed to the moonlight.

But on this beautiful girl's face, a rare look of pity appeared...

"Ophelia...you really were here!"

Without hesitation, Euryth stepped forward, intending to confront Ophelia alone.

After all, Ophelia was her childhood friend. Although many tragedies occurred along the way that caused the two to separate, and even Ophelia herself was unwilling to come back, Eurythus never gave up.

"Come back, Ophelia! Everyone at the orphanage misses you. Without you, our family is incomplete!"

Although Euryth is a princess, she still sneaks out of the palace to play when she's bored. Once, she was accidentally attacked by bad guys while sneaking out of the palace, but was eventually rescued by the children from the orphanage.

It was in that orphanage that Eurythm met Ophelia. She thought their friendship would last a lifetime, but who knew that something would happen in the future that would cause them to go their separate ways.

"You're still so naive, Julis."

"Did you think that saying these words would make our relationship go back to what it was before?"

Ophelia's expression remained unchanged, and she even exuded an ominous purple aura.

"I can't go back now, this is my 'fate,' Julis!"

The white-haired girl in front of me was unusually pessimistic in both her expression and tone, as if she had already given up on her life, or... burned her life away!

Although she appears to be standing here now, she has long since become an empty shell, merely a puppet to be manipulated by others.

"What fate? All I know is that you are right in front of me!"

"If I don't bring you back, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ophelia's brow twitched slightly, seemingly having some effect on her, but it quickly disappeared.

"As expected of you, Julis, you've always been like this..."

"But this is my fate."

"If you want to take me back, then destroy my 'destiny' yourself."

The purple aura materialized completely at that moment, looking like something formed from condensed smoke; no one knew what it was...

"Bloom, six-petaled blazing flower!"

"Then just wait and I'll completely destroy your miserable fate!"

Ophelia's abilities are troublesome, but since the other party has already made a move, how could Yulis just stand by and watch?

A six-petaled flame flower was created in an instant and hurled without hesitation at the purple figure in the distance.

However, the purple gas seemed to have gained self-awareness, suddenly extending six enormous hands that instantly destroyed the flame flowers without causing a ripple.

Her proudest move was so easily destroyed that Yulis was stunned and could only watch as the giant hand got closer and closer to her.

"not good!"

By the time Yulis realized what was happening, it was clearly impossible for her to retreat.

However, on this battlefield, there are not only Euryth and Ophelia, but also a third party who is observing and collecting data.

boom--!

As dust billowed up, six enormous hands struck their target, but Euryth's screams never came, causing Ophelia to tilt her head in disbelief.

"I'm saying, are you pretending I don't exist?"

Sandone's figure appeared beside Julis, along with the enormous pseudo-human that blocked the purple aura attacks from Pronia.

"You have to consider the owner before you hit a cat, don't say I didn't warn you!"

PS:

No need to wait, I'll post it tomorrow during the day...

"Are you...Julis's friend?"

Ophelia had just noticed that this beautiful-looking girl clearly had some kind of special relationship with Julis.

Ophelia had originally intended to ignore the girl, but when Euryth was about to be in danger, she stepped forward without hesitation.

If they weren't friends, it wouldn't make sense, would it?

"Friends? Don't get me wrong!"

"How could Yulis be my friend?"

Sandogne didn't admit it?

This scene not only stunned Eurythm, but even made Ophelia a little confused.

"If you're not Yulis's friend, why did you stand up for her when she was in danger?"

"Is that even a question?" Sandonne smiled. "Of course, it's to protect my little cat, to prevent her from hiding in a corner and crying all night!"

Ophelia: "..."

Eurythmia, I didn't expect you to have become so open-minded since we haven't seen each other for so long.

Although Ophelia didn't say anything, her eyes seemed to convey that meaning, which immediately made Euryth panic.

"What are you talking about? I'm not your kitten! And I'm not hiding in a corner crying!"

Sandonie's words made Yulis blush. Normally it would be fine, but now that Ophelia was in front of him, what if he ruined her image?

“Julis, I’m so glad you’ve found new friends.”

"But you can't bring me back... There's an invisible wall between us, that's fate!"

A slight smile appeared on Ophelia's face, which was filled with pity, but her pessimistic attitude remained unchanged.

"Then I'll defeat you! I'll forcibly tie you up and take you back!"

Flames erupted once more on Yulis's body, seemingly to prove the girl's determination; the flames were even brighter than before.

However, in Ophelia's eyes, such flames were still so small, like a candle flickering in the wind, easily extinguished with a wave of her hand.

Note that this is not an adjective.

The purple energy around Ophelia truly coalesced into several large hands, intending to extinguish the tiny flame directly.

And Yulis is about to face mortal danger!

Because Ophelia is no ordinary witch. Just from her title, "The Poisonous Witch," you know she uses poison!

Those purple hands surrounding Ophelia were undoubtedly poisonous miasma. Anyone who touched them with their own body would either lose consciousness and fall into a coma or die instantly!

For Eurythm, this was very bad in every sense of the word.

But now that Sandonne has chosen to stand up, he will never let such a thing happen!

"Pronia!"

With a flick of Sandonne's little hand, a small, round ball flew at incredible speed towards Yulis, just like Ash throwing a Poké Ball, and slammed directly into Yulis's head...

"what!"

Yulis, who was already struggling to resist the giant purple hands, was knocked to the ground by this attack, and even her defensive stance collapsed. She was about to be hit by the poison gas...

It was at this very moment that the ball Sandon threw out burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!

Its massive body was suddenly exposed to the air, and using its size advantage, it directly shielded Yulis beneath it.

boom--!

"Is this... a form of mimicry?"

Ophelia was taken aback. After all, this was her first time meeting Sandone, and she was completely unfamiliar with the other's fighting style. She had initially thought that Julis's friend was a witch similar to herself, but now it seemed...

They're researchers!

Only researchers would use avatars to fight in place of themselves, after all…

"I'm just a scientist, I don't have their fighting prowess"—this statement is quite common in this world. Although these scientists often pull off amazing feats, in terms of pure combat ability, they are indeed not that great.

"If that's all there is to it, it's not enough."

"Not enough to shake my destiny!"

Ophelia's tone became more emotional, and the star power she released increased, even making those purple hands more solid.

Then, the large hand swung out once more!

This time, it was different from before. Ophelia used more Star Power, making it more than five times stronger than before.

"Hmph! This is exactly what I've been waiting for!"

Seeing the stellar energy flying towards Pronia, Sandone showed no panic. Instead, he smiled and stood there watching what was happening.

Ding!

The moment those stellar forces touched Pronia, Ophelia's expression changed. Although she hadn't used her full strength, she sensed what Pronia had done at that instant of contact.

"Can you feel it? This is Pronia!"

“I have added a stellar energy absorption device to the core of Pronia, which means that... all the stellar energy attacks you use will become nourishment for Pronia!”

"Now, can you feel the loss of stellar energy?"

"It's okay if you feel it, because it's already too late!"

For the Star Pulse Generation, Star Power is like the mana bar in a game; using power or casting spells will consume Star Power.

Once the power of the stars is drained, even a generation as powerful as the Star Vein will become a lamb to the slaughter.

Of course, to prevent any special circumstances from occurring, Sandone specifically increased Pronia's stellar power storage to 1,000 percent. Even the most powerful generation of star veins could not possibly burst Pronia!

However, Ophelia on the other side was equally unfazed.

"Stellar power?"

"If you want it, I'll give it to you, but I don't know... if you can handle it?"

Ophelia no longer hesitated. Since her star power was being absorbed by the other party, she would give it to them!

After all, Ophelia's star power... cannot be judged in the way ordinary people do. She was not born into the Star Pulse Generation, but became so through acquired means.

Therefore, her stellar energy reserves...

Almost infinite!

Click-click—!

Within seconds, white smoke billowed from Pronia's body, and even the light on her face flickered a few times before plunging into darkness.

Sandoni: "..."

I just said there wouldn't be any problems, so how come it's gone now?

It's not a storage problem, it's a transmission speed problem?

If we consider Pronia as a person, this person could eat a whole cow's leg in one go, but now he's managed to stuff an entire cow into his stomach...

Without a doubt, Ophelia is the "extraordinary" powerhouse that Sandonne is worried about, and a being that Pronia finds difficult to deal with!

"If we had better materials, how could Pronia have collapsed so quickly?"

Pronia short-circuited in an instant.
