In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

Ayato also knew that it wouldn't be long before he had to leave his hometown to study in the floating city. If he were to encounter an opponent like Tadalia in the future, wouldn't he be completely unable to win?

"Well, thank you for the compliment?"

Ayato is not the kind of protagonist who flaunts his talents. In the most part of the original work, he appears to be exceptionally detached and passively accepts many things only after others come to him.

So after the battle, he returned to his original form, looking like a typical gentle and kind male protagonist.

"Haha, although I won this time, we'll definitely fight again in the future! I hope you'll be even stronger then!"

As Tadalia finished speaking, a dark figure appeared beside him, immediately causing Ayato's eyes to narrow.

Just now, this man named Capitano didn't have a trace of aura on him. I couldn't sense anything at all? Just how powerful is he?

"Now that it's over, we should go back!"

The captain's calm voice came from beneath the mask, and even though he did nothing, Ayato felt a chill.

"By the way, boy named Ayato Amagiri, there is something I need to tell you... Although this was not my intention, the disappearance of your elder sister, Haruka Amagiri, is indeed related to our organization."

This was only the first sentence, and Ayato was so shocked by it that he couldn't say a word.

"Wait, what do you mean by this?"

Ayato's tone was somewhat hurried. He was still worried about how to find his sister's whereabouts, but he didn't expect her to come directly to his door.

What happened to my sister?

If he hadn't just used up all his strength, Ayato would definitely have grabbed the other person and demanded an explanation.

"Don't worry, your sister is out of danger. I guarantee it in the name of Capitano."

"However, it's impossible for us to just let her go, since what she did did indeed harm our organization."

"So, upon learning that her younger brother, who is you, was about to arrive in the floating city, we came..."

Ayato clenched his fists; even the usually easygoing Ayato couldn't sit still at this moment.

He initially thought the other party was just there to challenge him, but he never expected that they were connected to his sister? They were even one of the culprits who kidnapped his sister?

"Are you... trying to silence me?"

As the eldest son of the family, Ayato was naturally aware of some of the darkness in the world and knew that there were countless schemes among the adults.

He never imagined that such a thing would happen to him one day.

“Some people in the organization certainly had that intention, but I stopped them, so it was just me and Tadalia who came here… After all, as long as our plan succeeds, there’s no need to take that girl’s life, nor is there any need to do something as easy as silencing her, which would expose us.”

"If you're worried about being exposed, why did you appear in front of me in the first place?"

"Because your sister is in our hands, you will definitely not expose us in order to ensure her safety."

"..."

Ayato Amagiri fell silent in response to the other party's reply. He hadn't expected that the other party had gone to such lengths to scheme against him... What could he say?

Judging from their tone, there seems to be a lot of discord within their organization? That's a small gain, I suppose. If I have the chance to investigate, I must rescue my sister!

"So, what exactly do you want to do?"

Ayato couldn't understand the two people in front of him. One was a battle maniac with little scheming, and the other was full of righteousness and integrity... They didn't seem like the people who kidnapped his sister at all, yet they were the ones who came to him.

"We hope you become stronger, Ayato Amagiri!"

Ayato could clearly sense that Capitano's words had become serious, and the boy's heart jumped into his throat.

"The entire world will undergo dramatic changes at next year's Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival."

"Your sister happens to be the biggest threat to the organization... If her family is too weak, the organization will not hesitate to eliminate her to prevent future troubles. If they are very powerful, it will actually serve as a deterrent..."

"If you want to save your sister... then become stronger, young man!"

"To shine brightly at next year's Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival!"

Columbia & Sandoni/Student City: Chapter 64 Columbia: So boring!

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the second semester has officially begun. However, compared to the first semester, which included the Star Martial Festival, the number of people in the water city has increased even more than before.

After all, the event that is about to be held here is called the "School Festival," which is one of the very few times that the six academies are open to the public.

Although the Star Martial Arts Festival is highly anticipated worldwide, the number of people who can actually get tickets to watch the battles in the floating city is not large; most people choose to watch the live broadcast on television or the internet.

On the contrary, visiting the academy is more likely to pique the interest of most ordinary people, and they might even see things they like...

That's right, I'm talking about Quinvue Girls' Academy!

Unlike other academies, Quinnville is an academy that trains stars; most of the world's female stars come from here.

Although Quinnville is the smallest of the six academies, the combined fan base of all its stars is in the billions!

If we don't count duplicate fans, this number is more than ten times the total population of the Earth!

Anyway, it's that exaggerated, after all, this academy is home to all kinds of beautiful girls!

So now you know why the school festival has more people than the Star Warrior Festival, right? All sorts of desires are one of humanity's most primal desires, and even girls can't resist the allure of idols!

Especially at this year's school festival, two of the world's top singers appeared!

Originally, there was only one "World's Number One Diva," and that was Sylvia Lunaeheim, the face of Quinnville. This girl was not only the top student within her academy, but she was also once the runner-up in Wang Long's competition.

However, after the new round of Wang Long's reign ended, the title of "World's Number One Diva" ceased to exist.

Sylvia made it to the semifinals, but didn't even make it to the finals. She was replaced by another student of Quinnville, a girl named Columbia...

To be honest, no one in the world expected things to turn out this way, because Quinnville's students don't really train in combat and are also recognized as the weakest among the six academies.

It wasn't until three years ago, when Sylvia became the runner-up in the Wang Long tournament, that the impression that Quinnville was not good at fighting was shattered.

And with the appearance of this year's champion, Columbia, this school, which was not favored, has once again come into the view of those viewers who only focus on battles.

The current Quinvian Girls' Academy is completely different from what it used to be!

-

Kui Enwei'er, Chairman's Office.

"Sigh! Although I'm happy that Wang Long won the championship, it's not a good thing for Quenweier!"

Chairperson Pedra sat in her chair, looking somewhat helplessly at the blank sheets of paper on her seat. They were all suggestions written by students based on a survey conducted by Quinnville some time ago.

"I hope the academy can add some combat courses. I also want to shine at the Star Martial Arts Festival like Miss Columbia and Miss Sylvia."

"I've recently hit a roadblock in my singing, and I hope the academy can add some practical courses to help us relieve some of the pressure from practicing singing."

"Our Queenville is invincible! I will become the next world's number one songstress!"

Although the reasons are varied, the core purpose is the same: to increase the training of students in the academy so that they can be better adapted to combat, just like those two songstresses!

Sylvia, who changed the outside world's impression that Quinnville was not good at fighting, won the championship of the Royal Dragon Star Martial Arts Festival.

"What do you two think, ladies?"

Pedra looked at the two girls sitting on the office sofa. Weren't they the two people mentioned in the letter just now?

However, unlike their own hurried state in dealing with official business, both Sylvie and Columbia looked incredibly relaxed, even having time to eat the snacks on the table for the guests.

"what about the taste?"

"It's delicious! Thank you, Sylvie!"

The two girls were standing very close, even closer than the distance between ordinary friends, causing Pedra to squint.

In an all-girls academy, the presence of yuri (lesbian) relationships wasn't surprising to her, as she had encountered similar situations when she was younger.

But Sylvie and Columbia... these two never seemed to have this inclination before, how did they suddenly become so close?

"When did you two become so close?"

Faced with Pedro's question, Sylvie made no attempt to hide anything; her stunning face even broke into a warmer, more radiant smile than ever before…

"Just recently, right? Around the time Columbia returned from her world tour."

"Even I find it unbelievable; I never imagined Columbia would actually bring Usla back..."

Sylvie's eyes revealed an unprecedented tenderness, as if she were recalling past events. And then, all that tenderness turned to Columbia…

Usla?

Isn't this the name that Sylvia's teacher holds?

Pedra understood. So that's what happened... No wonder Sylvie looked at Columbia like that!

Just a few days ago, Columbia suddenly messaged Sylvie, saying that after her world tour ended and she returned to Water City, she would give Sylvie a surprise.

Feeling the other party's kindness, Sylvie naturally expressed her gratitude. However, in her imagination, Colombia had hardly been exposed to the cultures of various parts of the world, so when she encountered something interesting or novel, she would bring back some souvenirs.

That's how it should have been, but...

When Sylvia saw the living Usla, her eyes widened, her mouth gaped open, and even her body stiffened.

"Usla!"

Without any hesitation, the purple-haired girl rushed into her teacher's arms, feeling that familiar warmth.

From that moment on, Columbia became Sylvie's best friend!

Whenever she thought of this, Sylvie's gaze softened even more when she looked at Columbia, especially when she saw Columbia's little mouth munching on snacks, looking just like a little bunny...

So cute!

Sylvie even involuntarily opened her arms and pressed Columbia's head against her chest... Although it was a gesture of intimacy, the snacks in Columbia's hands unnaturally fell onto the sofa.

“Hmm! Sylvie…”

"It's so stuffy!"

"A little boredom is good! It's better than being tricked by some little kitten!"

Sylvie's favorability rating has increased once again.

Perdora, sitting behind her desk, smiled helplessly. After all, looking at these girls always reminded her of her younger self.

"Fine, then enjoy the school festival to the fullest this time!"

Columbia & Sandoni/Academic City: Chapter 65 Arrogance and Pride

Sylvia's teacher, Usla's affairs, are all handled by Columbia!

Columbia began this process after incorporating the entire Golden Bough Alliance. Because Usla was the last member of the Golden Bough Alliance!

Of course, this was not Usla's intention, but because she was being controlled.

The Pure Star Blaze weapon "Valda Vaus" is a weapon with its own consciousness and the power of mind control. Its strength is even enough to control the Star Pulse Generation, making it an extremely dangerous Pure Star!

But in Columbia's eyes, none of this mattered. After all, no matter how powerful you, a mere star, could you possibly be stronger than the Goddess of March?

Therefore, Columbia only needs to do one thing: give Varda a new body. Once she can do this, Usla can easily return.

Of course, Usla knew far too much, and just in case, Columbia also left some contingency plans so that she wouldn't affect the "Fat People" in subsequent actions.

After all, she's now considered the villainous boss of this world!

-

the other side.

"You really don't pay attention to anything outside of experiments? If I hadn't come to find you, how often would you leave the lab?"

At Seidoukan Academy, as soon as the door to Sandone's laboratory was opened, disgruntled voices immediately came from outside.

The person who could speak to the laboratory's owner in such an attitude must be no ordinary person; he was none other than Julis, one of Sandone's few friends within the academy and the heroine of the original work.

However, it's questionable whether Yulis can even form a bond with Ayato, the protagonist of the original work. After all, since making Sandone her friend, Yulis seems to have even less interest in communicating with others, especially men.

Sandogne deeply regrets this!

But since she's already done it, she won't apologize, since no one knows about it anyway.

Even if the timeline converges one day in the future, and Ayato and Yulis revert to their original relationship, Sandone was the one who came first, and Ayato was the one who stole her away!

Um... although there was no love between Sandone and Julis, she was definitely not the one who came later!

Why would I care about what's going on outside?
