In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

Isn't this the stage for the Star Warrior Festival?

Why is there water?

And behind his own reflection, a bright moon had quietly risen without him noticing...

The next moment, Liu Ruyan seemed to realize something, and her expression changed drastically.

-

"It's smoke..."

"It's like playing hide-and-seek!"

The pink surroundings did not alarm Columbia. Instead, she carefully examined her surroundings, even peeking through the gaps in her blindfold several times.

However, Columbia often walked with her eyes closed, so she wouldn't have any problems even if she couldn't see at all.

"La~ La~ La~"

As the girl began to sing, the surrounding air suddenly became more humid, and water continuously gushed out from under Columbia's feet.

Although not much, it covered the entire area with a thin film of water, so well concealed that it was difficult for anyone to detect its existence.

Within the water film below, Columbia's figure became indistinct, and even the view under her skirt completely disappeared until the girl's body vanished entirely, finally transforming into a pure white moon.

"In that case, shall we begin the game of hide-and-seek?"

"This time, I'm the ghost!"

Seemingly having found her way, Columbia turned to look to her side, for only in that direction did the water ripple.

Clearly, the fish have taken the bait!

The next thing to do is to pull the lever up hard!

Columbia crouched slightly and disappeared from the spot in the next second. She did not become invisible, but leaped up in an anti-gravity manner, without even blowing away the pink smoke around her!

At this moment, a phantom of a new moon had already appeared behind Columbia, complete with six different lunar phases.

All of this was Columbia waiting for the right moment, waiting for the perfect opportunity to launch an attack!

Ding!

The water rippled once more, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the smoke, heading straight for Columbia in the sky. But the girl's reaction was to assume a singing posture...

Let a "moon" fall from the sky!

The moon was falling at an extremely fast speed, and its speed was many times greater than the commotion that Columbia had just caused!

In the blink of an eye, the pink smoke dissipated, leaving Liu Ruyan alone in the moonlight, watching a large ball hurtle towards her…

Liu Ruyan: "Huh?"

The next moment, a crisp sound echoed throughout the arena.

"The school emblem is shattered! The victor is the 'Moonlight Witch' of Quinvin Girls' Academy!"

"Columbia Hippeselenia!"

Columbia & Sandoni/Academic City: Chapter 25 The Pressure Brought by Columbia

As the smoke dissipated instantly, Columbia and Liu Ruyan reappeared on the stage of the Wanglong Star Martial Arts Festival, but...

Compared to Columbia, who turned to leave, Liu Ruyan from the Boundary Dragon collapsed helplessly to the ground, her eyes completely devoid of light.

She didn't die, but she was terrified by that powerful force, and even almost lost control of her bladder...

Fortunately, Columbia had already left, otherwise Liu Ruyan's embarrassing appearance would have been seen.

"Why is he so strong?"

This wasn't Liu Ruyan's first time participating in the Star Martial Arts Festival, but she was always knocked out in the elimination rounds before even entering the actual battles. It was truly tragic!

"Forget it, I don't have any more chances in the future anyway. I'll just learn some practical Star Immortal Techniques after graduation and go back home to farm..."

The story of Emperor Ruyan ends here.

But for Columbia, this was just the beginning.

No one saw what Columbia did on stage, but they could judge just how strong she was, considering that only about ten seconds had passed since the start of the competition…

Columbia defeated a student of the Boundary Dragon in just ten seconds. Just how strong is she?

Clearly, while some people have realized this, not many have...

Perhaps only when Columbia encounters a formidable foe and truly reveals its strength will everyone be able to feast their eyes on it?

After all, the way beautiful girls fight is very eye-catching!

-

Inside the Star Guide Hall lounge.

Sandone put on a thoughtful expression, seemingly assessing Columbia's strength, but to the other two, her expression appeared as Sandone being wary of Columbia.

"This is Miss Hipper Celenia from Quinvette Girls' Academy! Although she's a freshman this year, her strength shouldn't be underestimated!"

At this moment, student council president Claudia also spoke up to warn Sandone to be careful of the girl.

"Although I have never actually met and spoken with Miss Hipper Celenia, but..."

"According to information from the movie star's side, although this young lady appears innocent and pure, she is... also extremely dangerous!"

"Those investigators from the movie star wouldn't even want to stay near Miss Hippercelenia if it weren't for completing their investigation mission."

"why is that?"

Before Sandone could react, Eurythmia was the first to express her doubt.

It's just an investigation, how could anything go wrong?

Yulis had assumed Claudia would continue with her usual foxy smile and explain Columbia's situation step by step. However, this time, things were clearly completely different from what Yulis had expected.

"Because it's extremely dangerous!"

Claudia's expression was very solemn; even Julis had never seen her so serious before.

"According to the intelligence from the movie stars, they were just staying by Columbia's side, and before they even revealed their identities, they inexplicably felt a death threat in their hearts!"

"What's even more terrifying is that the movie star later asked ordinary people in the vicinity, and they were completely unaffected by it. Do you know what that means?"

Claudia held up a finger and pointed it at Columbia, who was leaving the stage on the screen.

"This shows that the moment Colombia saw the other party again, she determined whether the other party posed a threat and issued a warning!"

The Starry Sky Academy's intelligence agency, Shadow Star, naturally possesses many strong individuals, many of whom even have the potential to win the Star Martial Arts Festival, but...

Because of their status, they cannot stand in the sunlight to enjoy their daily lives; they can only remain as shadows in the night.

"And the pressure that Columbia was under was something the members of the film crew only witnessed once throughout the entire process..."

"That's the first in the Revoir Black series, 'The Lone Poison Witch'!"

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Claudia's hints were quite straightforward... or rather, practically an explicit statement.

The "Moonlight Witch" possesses strength comparable to the "Lone Poison Witch," and at this stage, defeating her is virtually impossible!

These two are formidable opponents that all contestants must face in this Star Martial Arts Festival. Adding to that, there are actually three favorites to win?

"No, maybe there are four..."

In the very end, Claudia turned her gaze to the lady beside her.

Although she is petite and not particularly strong in combat, who says that one's combat strength must be high during a fight?

Sandone's true strength lies not in her fighting prowess, but in her intellect!

As the daughter of a high-ranking member of the conglomerate, Claudia naturally knew why Sandonne joined Seidokan Academy and what his true talent was.

"Similar to Ophelia...?"

Upon hearing that Columbia's strength was comparable to Ophelia's, a shadow immediately fell over Yulis's face, after all, she had just witnessed Ophelia's strength not long ago.

If it weren't for the pseudo-human Pronia beside Sandonne taking them into the sky, they probably wouldn't even have had a chance to escape!

"Can Sandone really defeat such an opponent?"

During this period, Yulis has worked very hard and has even surpassed more than 95% of the students in the entire floating city.

But as luck would have it, recently she's been facing only the remaining 5% of enemies, almost causing Julis to lose all confidence...

"Ha, how absurd and ridiculous!"

Who do you think I am?

Sandonna took a small sip of the black tea in his cup, a slight smile curving his lips, and placed the freshly brewed tea on the table.

"My match is about to start, so I'll go backstage to prepare... I'll have my tea when I get back!"

"Hopefully it will still be warm at that time."

For those top-tier fighters, Sandone must be fully prepared to face them, but this is the knockout stage…

The operations committee has already arranged the match schedule, so before actually entering the finals, Sandonne is unlikely to encounter any strong opponents that require him to prepare in advance!

-

"Keep going, you can do it!"

Angie from the Quincy Children's Academy had already arrived at the arena, calming her excited heart.

Despite her young age, the highly anticipated competition prompted this young woman to register in advance.

"Is my opponent now... Sandone?"

"She sounds like a lovely girl. I hope we can have a good chat!"

Angie, who had been holding onto this idea, looked up and saw a huge figure... a colossal anthropomorphic being she had never seen before, its entire body as large as ten girls!

"Huh?!"

Suddenly facing such a formidable opponent, Angie was clearly intimidated by his height. But just then, Sandoni appeared in front of the girl, effortlessly snatched off her school badge, and crushed it...

Angie: ? ? ?

Because Angie's girl looked up at the huge anthropomorphic object, I looked down at Sandone, and my expression was incredibly interesting.

Columbia & Sandone/Student City: Chapter 26 I've Found You, Sandone!

"Our matches are all over for today, let's go home together, Sylvie~"

Columbia smiled faintly as she watched the girl walk out of the passage.

"Columbia, aren't you planning to stay and watch the rest of the match?"

Sylvie glanced at the arena. Although multiple matches were taking place simultaneously, the durations of the battles varied, and it seemed that it would take quite some time before the match ended.

Besides, although this is just an elimination round, it's impossible not to participate against those top experts. Although the probability is very small... what if we can see their weaknesses?

"There's no need for that."

Columbia shook her head, her face revealing no contempt. Or rather, Columbia simply didn't want to stay here unless she looked down on the ordinary students competing at sea.

"I'd much rather eat something than watch the game here..."

Upon hearing this, Sylvie understood that Columbia was simply craving food, since, as she herself had said before, there was no decent food to be found in war-torn regions.

Therefore, Columbia was always a gluttonous girl who wanted to take a bite whenever she smelled delicious food.

During her recent concert, a reporter accidentally captured a picture of Columbia sneaking a cookie in a corner of a park... The contrast between her sacred figure at the concert and her adorable, sneaky snacking behavior actually garnered her a lot of fans!

"Humph!"

Sylvie let out a cheerful sound, then took out a bento box from behind her back, clearly she had prepared in advance.

"I knew Colombia would want to eat, so I prepared it in advance!"

Don't underestimate Sylvie's talents just because she has omnipotent abilities as a witch. Sylvie is extremely talented and learns everything very quickly, including cooking!

Moreover, during this time, Sylvie also specifically studied Columbia's tastes, and she knew exactly what the girl liked to eat!

So Sylvie's lunch consisted of a special fruit salad and toast.
