In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

Although Sandonne was shocked, she did not panic, because she had already anticipated this situation.

Ultimately, the materials used in Sandonne's Prognia are similar to those used in ordinary sculptural figures. Although special materials were used in key parts, they were only used in a small part.

Pronia is still made up of more than 70% of the world's ordinary raw materials, which makes it prone to various problems and damage.

So, to avoid Pronia being damaged and leaving himself isolated and helpless, Sandonne used the extra materials to make some small gadgets... all to save his life in a critical moment!

Seeing Sandone and Yulis standing still, the solitary witch gradually began to take action.

"If this is all you've got, you can't sever my destiny..."

Ophelia's expression remained calm, and she even began to walk step by step toward Sandone and Euryth.

It seems that in her view, the two no longer posed any threat.

Eurythus possessed considerable abilities as a witch, yet she couldn't even break through Ophelia's defenses. Sandone's avatar fared similarly, being directly shattered by Ophelia's stellar power…

How could two such weaklings possibly pose a threat to me?

Although Ophelia is very pessimistic about herself, she is incredibly confident in the power within her... which is quite subtle in a way.

"Hmm! Is it really true that I can't do anything?"

Yulis saw everything, but she was powerless to do anything about it. She could only watch helplessly as her former lover drew closer and closer, the oppressive aura emanating from him growing stronger...

If we don't do something, we're really going to get beaten up!

"Julis, do you believe me?"

"Of course, what other options do you have?"

"I'll count to three, then you just need to shield us..."

Yulis: ?

Although I don't know why they did that, since Sandone said so, there must be another way!

"Okay, I believe you!"

Although they often bicker, the fact that they haven't separated after all this time is enough to show the tacit understanding between them.

"These mimicry forms seem somewhat similar to those in Alicante?"

Ophelia approached Pronia, intending to observe the robot further, but in the next instant, Pronia suddenly erupted, its intense light even more dazzling than before.

"You've fallen for their trap, haven't you?"

"How could I not have considered the short circuit problem in Pronia? That's why I developed a multi-core processor long ago!"

"In addition to obeying my commands, Pronia can also be manually controlled by me!"

I'm going to blow you up right now!

"One, two, three, quick, defend!"

Yulis: ?

Is this how you count? You didn't give me any time to prepare at all!

But in desperation, Eurythm had no choice but to do as she was told.

"Bloom, Red Umbrella Flower, the barrier!"

Centered on Yulis, a giant five-pointed star petal appeared, like an open umbrella, directly enveloping the two girls and isolating them from everything outside.

Although this defense is limited by Yulis's own star power, it can block as much damage as possible from the outside world!

"Pronia! A shooting star!"

Upon awakening from its slumber, Pronia stretched out two enormous hands and grasped the white-haired girl in them.

At the same time, a huge flame appeared behind Pronia, instantly burning the surrounding vegetation to ashes. Even Julis's side was affected to some extent. Fortunately, Julis had already activated her shield, otherwise the girls' clothes would have been in danger.

Then, the giant robot, carrying the white-haired beauty, flew straight into the sky…

Boom boom boom—!

Sandonne peeked out from behind the shield of flames, carefully observing the scene unfolding before him. After all, this was crucial experimental data!

One thousand percent is already the maximum amount of data that Pronia, with its size, can collect. If you want to continue to increase its capacity, its volume will increase exponentially.

so…

Just how high can it fly?

Could we send Columbia to the moon?

Boom boom boom—!

The point of light in the sky grew smaller and smaller, and Sandogne was calculating the distance based on its speed, but unfortunately...

—Bang!

In less than two seconds, the spot of light in the sky completely turned into fireworks.

It's Ophelia!

The white-haired girl had already realized the threat, so she used her full power to destroy Pronia to prevent the distance from increasing further.

In the dim light, Sandonne seemed to see a figure fall from the sky into the sea near the six-pointed star…

They definitely didn't die, but the extent of their injuries is unknown. After all, even Pronia was bombed, so Sandone couldn't collect data afterward, but the previous injuries are definitely not a problem.

"Alright, we've collected almost all the data!"

"If I run into that guy again next time, I definitely won't lose like this!"

Sandonie was very satisfied with the data he had just collected, and even a smile appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, Yulis stared blankly at the fireworks in the sky…

"Wait! That's my friend! Why did you blow her up?"

"The person isn't dead, what are you worried about?"

"Huh? They're still alive?"

"Give me a straight answer! Do you want her to live or die?"

"Of course I don't want Ophelia to die, but what you just did... went a bit too far!"

"So what? If we didn't do this, do you think she would let us go?"

To be honest, what Sandone just did completely shattered Julis's previous impression of combat.

Have you ever seen anyone control a robot in the middle of battle, lifting the enemy into the sky and sending it exploding?

It remains to be seen whether Sandone will continue to use this tactic in future battles...

-

On the other side, on the sea shimmering with silver light, bubbles gradually rose from the water, and soon a female corpse surfaced…

No, it's not a female corpse.

After all, the white-haired girl's eyes were still open, and there were no wounds on her body. She was just lying quietly in the sea, gazing at the slowly rising moon.

“Julis, it seems you’ve found a good friend…”

Unlike her previous calm and compassionate attitude, Ophelia now seemed to have foreseen something, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"If it were with her, Julis..."

"Maybe you really can do it!"

P.S.: One more chapter!

Columbia & Sandoni/Student City: Chapter 22 Luck and High Profile

"Tell me, how did you end up like this?"

On a cruise ship outside the floating city, a solemn and serious voice came from the darkness, and opposite him was Ophelia, who was wearing a white robe.

“I haven’t given you any orders these past few days, and you’ve just been wandering around the city. How did you suddenly end up on the sea? Or… did someone take you out?”

When the moonlight shone into the darkness, the figure that emerged was completely unexpected. The voice sounded quite nice; I'd thought it would be a handsome guy, but it turned out…

He's just a fat redhead!

Like Mr. Ichiyo from "Fairy Tail," who, despite being voiced by Aizen, grew up to look so worrying...

Even so, it is enough to show that the person in front of us is no ordinary person.

Because he is the student council president of Levof Black, known as the "King of Sinister" Diluc Ebelvan.

As the saying goes, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. Diluc isn't from the Star Pulse Generation; he's just an ordinary person. Yet, he managed to become the student council president and is known as the "King of Ruthlessness," which speaks volumes about his ruthlessness!

In reality, Diluc didn't need to ask Ophelia at all. He could know everything through the Black Cat Agency, the intelligence agency of Levof Black, but…

We need to confirm some things!

Does Ophelia still obey me?

"...It was made by students from Seidokan."

"But I don't know the name."

Ophelia made no attempt to hide anything; after all, this was her fate, and the young girl had long since accepted it all.

Her answer temporarily put Diluc's mind at ease, and he began to ponder the information about that person...

"I see."

"Using a shapeshifting entity to absorb your power, then taking you into the sky and blowing you up? No ordinary person could do something like that."

"Sandonie? Never heard of that name... He seems to have talent in scientific research, and the avatars he creates are much better than those mass-produced ones. How did the Star Guide Hall manage to acquire such a talent?"

There were only three people present: Ophelia, Diluc, and his secretary…

But at this moment, Diluc seemed to be talking to himself as he easily revealed information about Sandone.

"Huh? Wasn't it brought in from outside?"

"Tch, they have a conglomerate backing them!"

If it were just an ordinary person, Diluc would have tens of thousands of ways to make them disappear from the city. Even if the person had some background, Diluc wouldn't be afraid at all, since the other party was from a rival conglomerate, and even if he accidentally killed them, his superiors would protect him.

But unfortunately...

Sandoni has a father who is a high-ranking member of a conglomerate!

This is a direct relative of the conglomerate's decision-makers. No matter how they act, Diluc will eventually be exposed.

Diluc, having served as the student council president in Revof, naturally knew the true colors of those high-ranking corporate executives.

If I actually take action, the higher-ups will definitely pin all the blame on me and end up losing my head!

This is the power struggle among the top echelons of the conglomerate. Even he, the student council president, is just a pawn that can be discarded at any time!

Diluc wouldn't do such a losing deal.

"What a lucky guy, born into a good family...and he even survived!"

"Pass the word: increase your focus on 'Sandonie,' find out what she's been up to lately... but absolutely no action is to be taken without my orders!"

"Oh, right, there's someone else who should keep an eye on this for me."

"That rising star from that prestigious academy, she's said to possess special abilities..."

-

A floating city, a six-pointed star-shaped dome.

This is the world's largest stadium and also the world's most famous stadium, capable of holding more than 200,000 people.

After all, being able to use such a venue is no ordinary matter, one reason being the upcoming Star Martial Festival.

A world-class event like this requires a huge venue; otherwise, how can it be broadcast live to the world?

Secondly, there was the concert at the Quincy Children's Academy.

Needless to say, holding a concert also requires a huge venue, especially for concerts by world-class singers, which are absolutely packed to capacity, even overflowing with people!

Sylvie's concerts are held inside the Hexa Dome, and every show is sold out. Tickets sold out so much that the website crashed, and some fans even tried to use a VPN to get in...

Aside from Sylvie, not many people are able to hold concerts here. The most recent concert held here was by a girl named Columbia.
