Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

"—'Flawless'!"

Her long, beautiful legs kicked the back of the knife, but the scene she had envisioned—Makoto Haramura being kicked away—did not occur.

Stella, on the other hand, flew out from inside, enveloped in the white light.

Characters like Makoto Haramura and Kazuki Kurogane face opponents stronger than themselves.

Besides avoiding the opponent's force, the key is to use techniques to deflect that force.

Kurogane Ikki possesses a force-dissipating skill called "Third Secret Sword: Circle," which eliminates gravity by changing his body's axis of rotation.

However, Makoto Haramura almost never used the technique of deflecting force.

After all, he was already a strong fighter, and almost no Blade Master could suppress him in terms of strength.

Apart from Stella.

So much so that they all forgot that long ago, Makoto Haramura had used the essence of the Ayatsuji Ittō-ryū style, "Perfect Uniform," in public once.

This move not only deflects force, but also returns 1.5 times the force of the enemy's attack.

However, it requires a fixed stance to use and is not as widely applicable as Kurogane Ikki's "Third Secret Sword: En".

"puff--"

(Is its power really that strong?)

Only when the force flowed back into her did Stella truly realize how powerful she was now.

She could even feel her internal organs shifting.

"The last resort."

Makoto Haramura took a deep breath and poured all the remaining magic power into his sword.

"Om-"

The crimson sword seemed to vibrate with a joyful hum, and Makoto Haramura's entire body radiated a dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, Makoto Haramura swung his arm.

Together!

Two!

Three ways!

Haramura Makoto's arm was so swung that only blurry afterimages could be seen.

Several vacuum-splittered blades released from the sword were solidified in front of him.

"—Phantom Sword Dance!"

Haramura Makoto raised his katana high and then slashed it down fiercely.

Countless slashes created a vast net of spatial blades, which were thus unleashed.

Stella's pupils suddenly contracted as she flew backwards through the air.

In her current state, it's clearly impossible for her to adjust her posture in mid-air and avoid the attack.

She bit her red lip with her teeth, and blood flowed down the corner of her mouth.

"—The Dragon Feather Robe!"

Flames erupted fiercely from Stella's body like a blast.

The 3,000-degree Celsius heat transformed into a fiery feather robe, draped over Stella's body, and completely enveloped her.

This was the last defensive skill she could use with her remaining magic.

"boom--"

The collision resounded continuously from the very center, and ripples spread outwards from the center of the sound.

The sword energy continuously dissipated.

The flaming feather robe gradually shattered, and Stella's furious roar could be heard from within.

The dazzling white light filled the entire arena, obscuring everyone, including the spectators.

Haramura Makoto plunged the long sword directly into the ground, gripping the hilt with both hands and panting heavily.

The white light gradually faded, and the scene on the field gradually came into view.

Stella knelt on one knee on the ground, revealing a piercing wound running from her left to her right abdomen on her fair skin.

Stella was covered in blood.

The blood seeping from her wounds had already stained the ground.

Xijing Ningyin and the old man rushed onto the stage.

The two of them rushed straight toward Stella, who had already fainted on the ground.

"The match is over. Haramura Makoto of the Pojun Academy with the skill 'Time Freeze' is the winner."

"The ambulance crew, hurry up and take Stella away."

Medical staff quickly carried a stretcher to the field, lifted Stella onto the field, and carried her off the field.

"The match is over!"

"After a long and arduous struggle, this epic battle has finally come to an end. The victor is none other than Makoto Haramura, the 'Time Freeze' champion."

The same impassioned narration echoed from the loudspeaker.

After a few seconds of silence, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

The commentators were stunned by this intense battle of offense and defense.

And isn't that also true for the audience?

Even during the battle, they felt their lives threatened several times, and this surge of adrenaline overwhelmed their reason.

"That's excessively strong."

"That's ridiculously strong."

In the stands, students from other colleges were basically repeating the same thing.

They really find it hard to imagine why there can be such a big difference between young people of the same age.

Let alone taking down one of them.

It felt like even if they all attacked together, they would be utterly powerless in the face of an attack that could alter the weather and celestial phenomena.

"elder brother!"

Kurogane Shizuku looked at Kurogane Ikki with concern.

She originally had a lot of confidence in her brother.

But after seeing what happened today, she can no longer confidently say that her brother will win.

In her view, this was simply hopeless.

Furthermore, it sounded like there was no hope at all.

"Don't worry, Shizuku."

Kurogane Ikki gently patted Kurogane Shizuku's head.

"The dream I wanted to achieve has come true."

"not to mention."

Kurogane Ikki pursed his lips, his gaze fixed on Haramura Makoto, who had already left with the medical team.

"It's not like I have no chance at all."

"All right!"

Kurogane Shizuku is willing to believe her brother; as long as her brother says it, she is willing to believe it.

Should I go see Stella?

Forget everything else, just looking at her here, you can tell how serious Stella's injuries are.

Even though they usually don't get along, Shizuku Kurogane considers Stella her friend.

Her friend was so badly injured; she should visit her, both morally and logically.

"forget it."

"Let's go together tomorrow. It's better to leave the two of them alone for now."

……

"Well--"

The naked girl was soaking in green liquid, slowly opening her lips and making a sound like a moan.

"Are you alright, Stella?"

Makoto Haramura hurriedly pressed the button to turn on the treatment chamber, and the transparent glass cover slowly rose.

He also helped Stella up from her smooth back, and Stella slowly opened her tightly closed eyes.

"Sincerity? Am I undergoing treatment?"

Looking at herself, Stella blushed slightly, but she still spoke with great energy.

"Yes."

Actually, Stella's injuries were quite serious.

The amount of bleeding has reached about half of the normal human level. Normally, such a amount of bleeding would require at least a blood transfusion to save the patient.

However, after the pharmacist Kiriko stripped Stella naked, put her in the treatment chamber, and used her abilities to adjust Stella's body...

Stella's rapid self-healing ability has started again.

Because Stella was naked, he could see very clearly that new granulation tissue was growing from the wounds on Stella's body almost every second.

Within twenty minutes of being thrown into the treatment chamber, Stella's wounds had completely healed.

This is the dragon's regenerative power.

"Congratulations, Cheng, you've won."

Stella quickly accepted this reality, her eyebrows curving upwards as she offered her heartfelt blessings to Haramura.

She would react this way no matter who could defeat her with their own strength, let alone her lover.

As for his current nakedness?

Thinking about it carefully, what's there to be ashamed of? She and Cheng have already done everything together, and he doesn't even know how many times he's seen it.

"Yeah, it wasn't easy to win against you."

Makoto Haramura took the towel and helped dry Stella's wet hair before handing the towel back to her.

Stella nodded smugly and picked up a towel to wipe herself.

"No matter what, I gave it my all."

Actually, it wasn't that she couldn't let Makoto Haramura help her clean her body, but since this wasn't her own home, she still felt ashamed.

"However, this is not bad either."

"At least your strength has been seen by your father and mother. I guess they are quite satisfied with you now."

Stepping out of the treatment chamber, Stella picked up the underwear and bathrobe handed to her by Makoto Haramura, put them on, and then jumped directly onto the large bed.

"Oh, so comfortable."

Her injuries have indeed almost completely healed.

Its internal organs were almost completely repaired by its own magic and returned to their original positions.

However, the intense release of her magic during the battle and the resulting mental strain have left her feeling exhausted.

"Stella, you've already told your parents about me."

Makoto Haramura's lips twitched involuntarily.

He still has a lot of messy things to deal with, and Stella has already started reporting to the higher-ups.
