Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

"One aspect of water magic involves using healing techniques applied to the human body to decompose one's own flesh and then reconstruct it into dust or gas. In this way, the body is unaffected by slashes or blows."

(Could it be that you are a member of the Hozuki clan in this world?)

Makoto Haramura silently complained to himself, but on the surface, he still looked at Ikki Kurogane with a serious expression.

"I think I don't need to say much, you should understand."

"Shizuku's move is definitely powerful, but you should be aware of the risks involved."

"I know that excessive water loss can cause bodily defects."

Kurogane Ikki nodded solemnly in return.

"However, things are not as simple as they seem."

He withdrew his gaze, rested his left cheek on his fist, and looked at Sarah hidden inside the white circle, a sudden smile spreading across his face.

"However, it also depends on whether this guy has captured my true qualities."

"But if she actually copied part of it."

With that in mind, Noel shifted his gaze to Shinguji Kurono.

"If this situation arises, Principal, please don't make any mistakes in the rescue."

"Otherwise, Kurogane Shizuku might die."

……

The fierce battle continued.

However, the battle did not last long. After about ten minutes, Kurogane Shizuku was defeated.

In fact, the so-called water color cycle focuses on defensive capabilities.

However, it is not outstanding in attack.

However, there are ways to completely change the attack method.

The state of "water color reincarnation" of Kurogane Shizuku is actually equivalent to her assimilation with the surrounding air.

So it's only natural that Stella controls the surrounding air.

In this way, she can fill the lungs of the blademen within her smoke range with water.

They were left to drown, ultimately resulting in their death.

The problem is that what entered the Kurogane Shizuku domain was not a swordsman, but Sarah's swordsmanship ability.

The stalemate continued until a certain time limit was reached, at which point Kurogane Shizuku had no choice but to be defeated.

"I didn't see it."

Sarah did not exhibit the qualities that Makoto Haramura wanted to see, or rather, Shizuku Kurotetsu failed to bring them out.

The seats around me were already quite empty.

Toudou Touka went to the second venue.

Her opponent in the match was Momiji Asagi from Muku Academy.

Stella went to the third venue.

Her rival is Kiriko, a pharmacist from Lianzhen Academy.

Both of them are very formidable opponents. Asagi Momiji was the third place winner in the previous Seven Star Sword Dance Festival. In terms of ranking alone, she is even one name higher than Toudou Touka.

The same goes for Yakushi Kiriko.

Like Kurogane Shizuku, Yakushi Kiriko is also a water mage skilled in healing.

However, if Kurogane Shizuku's treatment technique is close to that of the regeneration chamber, then Yakushi Kiriko's technique far surpasses that of the regeneration chamber.

Even those who have been declared dead can be brought back to life in her hands.

All of this is due to her superpowers.

She can manipulate trillions of cells in the human body at will, and can mold the ecology of any organism into whatever shape it is. In her eyes, all carbon-based life forms are toys that she can play with at will.

However, she had never participated in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival before.

After all, she believed that her primary responsibility would always be as a doctor.

This time, it was the teachers from Lianzhen Academy who forced her to participate, which is why she chose to participate.

In short, this is a woman with whom you should absolutely not have physical contact.

Even if it's only for a moment, the opponent's defeat is already a foregone conclusion.

For Stella, this was quite a difficult battle, and normally Makoto Haramura should have been watching his girlfriend's fight.

But at this moment, he found himself inside a long, narrow tunnel.

"Are you going to make your appearance, Makoto?"

Supporting his seemingly weak and delicate body, Kurogane Ikki looked at Haramura Makoto and smiled.

"Yes."

Makoto Haramura's gaze fell on Shizuku Kurogane.

"How are you feeling? You shouldn't have suffered any serious injuries, right?"

"Fortunately."

Kurogane Shizuku coughed softly.

"Principal Shinguji's rescue was very timely."

"But I'm sorry."

"I was hoping to defeat her and repay you for your favor, but I still failed."

"fine!"

Gently patting Shizuku Kurogane and Ikki Kurogane on the shoulder, Makoto Haramura smiled and walked past them.

"I can handle this kind of thing myself."

"Go back and take good care of your injuries."

"Wait, Makoto, who's your opponent this time?"

Makoto Haramura had already reached the exit of the arena when Ikki Kurogane's sudden voice made him stop in his tracks.

"Yes, he is indeed a very interesting guy."

Makoto Haramura turned around, his face devoid of any emotion.

"However, I will win."

Chapter 116 A Man of Strong Will

"In the second match of the first round of Area A, please welcome Makoto Haramura from the 'Time Freeze' team of Hagun Academy and Yudai Moroboshi from the 'Naniwa Star' team of Buqu Academy."

"Wow, I didn't expect to match up so quickly."

"The previous Seven Star Sword King and Haramura Makoto, who is widely regarded as the strongest player in this competition, actually met in the first round of the battle."

On the commentary stage, the young woman giving the commentary spoke with great passion and enthusiasm, her emotions palpable in her voice.

"Yes, this is definitely a battle well worth watching."

"Many people probably think that Time Freeze will definitely win this match, but I think it might be a 50/50 battle."

"Before becoming a commentator, I also carefully watched the match videos of these two players."

"All I can say is that if Naniwa Star makes good use of his abilities, he is definitely a force to be reckoned with."

The prediction from the elderly commentator began to circulate in the commentary booth.

"Mr. Hai Jiangtian is too modest. You are a figure from the same era as the God of War. The Trial of Heavenly Thunder is already well-known to us..."

"Now the two contestants have entered the arena, please stay tuned!"

……

On the stage of the arena.

Makoto Haramura and Yudai Moroboshi walked onto the stage one after the other and stood about 20 meters away.

"I'm really lucky. I didn't expect to be facing you so soon."

"Really? I think you're incredibly unlucky. You were the Seven Star Sword King last year, but now you're only eliminated in the round of 16."

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, their fighting spirit gushing forth like a spring.

"So confident of his victory? Such arrogance is really unpleasant."

"Well, after all, my senior sister is very angry."

"She originally wanted to avenge you herself, but you ran into me instead. If I let you see my senior sister, I bet she and my master would hang me up and beat me."

Both of them summoned all their spirit costumes and held them in their hands, waiting for the referee, Shinomiya Kurono, to announce the start.

Gunfire and blade flashes erupted in an instant, and beautiful battlefield flowers bloomed on the stage.

The two dodged each other in an instant.

Moroboshi Yudai drew a circle with his feet, forcibly twisting his body without showing the slightest wavering. He launched all the power of his body out like a catapult, leisurely tilting the tip of his spear-shaped spirit weapon "Tiger King" horizontally, his body slightly leaning.

It's this moment.

Not only the referees at close range, but even the audience inside the Bay Dome felt a chill instantly, their skin breaking out in goosebumps.

This intimidating aura was the martial arts pressure that Morohoshi Yuudai exuded as he assumed his stance and radiated it in all directions.

This former champion, now on stage, overwhelms tens of thousands of spectators with sheer dominance.

This is Moroboshi Yūdai's move, "Looking Down on All Sides"!

but--

"..."

"What are you doing here? Do you think you're Shanks?"

Haramura Makoto urged his previously halted steps forward and ran directly towards Moroboshi Yudai. Then, at a distance of six meters from him, he raised his gun.

"boom--"

Along with the bullets gushing from the gun barrel, the entire magical power of Makoto Haramura erupted.

The magic spread outwards like a surging wave.

This is an aura even more terrifying than that of the majestic stars.

If the aura that Moroboshi Yudai spread was like the biting cold wind of winter, sweeping across the entire scene and making everyone feel cold.

However, Makoto Haramura's work is clearly different.

The aura he exuded was like a wave that could completely engulf a person, leaving them utterly devoured.

At that moment, all the audience members were stunned.

"Shh-"

It was like a flash of lightning.

Morohoshi Yuta, with his golden spear "Tiger King" capable of piercing the void, also bared his fangs at Haramura Makoto.

"Chong-"

The gun tip rubbed against the bullet formed of magic, producing a sharp buzzing sound.

No, it wasn't just the next collision; it directly shattered the bullet that Makoto Haramura fired.

"Didn't you use your combo at close range?"

"I've seen videos of attacks that completely engulf the enemy, and once you're on them, there's no escape."

"I'd really like to see it for myself."

Moroboshi Yudai narrowed his eyes, slung half of the gun over his back, and pointed the spear at Haramura Makoto, seemingly relaxed.

"and then?"
