Chat group: My Fist of the North Star will never lose!

Chapter 361 Hellfire Sword

"A pale blue crescent moon hangs high in the sky, a chilling wind swirls around crimson..."

Kazami Tsubasa is not a conventionally beautiful girl, and using words like "cute" or "pretty" to describe her would be somewhat inaccurate.

Her striking blue hair, styled in a neat bun on one side, complemented her fair skin and tall figure perfectly. Although she had a beautiful face, she gave off a very aloof and unapproachable vibe upon first meeting.

He was dashing and spirited, with sharp eyes. He was very serious about everything he did, and seemed to never relax. He was like a tightly strung string that could snap at any moment.

However, recently, this feeling seems to have gradually faded. She originally thought of herself as a defensive person, existing only as a sword, but after the arrival of a girl named "Tachibana Hibiki", the expressions on her face gradually became more varied.

There's no way around it; if you have nothing to do all day except watch anime, practice your skills, and play with your friends, without having to risk your life to fight against noise, humanity's natural enemy, anyone would wear a mysterious smile.

Indeed, with Hibiki Tachibana joining the group, things have changed like never before—

These special girls, who can transform into Symphogear users, haven't experienced combat in a long time.

One reason is that noise has become much less frequent around the world, as if it has no reason to attack humans anymore; it has practically disappeared.

The second reason is that her uncle, Genjuro Kazanari, is the commander of the Second Division of the "Special Disaster Countermeasures Mobile Unit," the strongest expert...

He, he, he can actually transform into a "war princess"!

No, to be precise, it was Ms. Ryoko's technological breakthrough that prepared a sacred relic for Kazunari Genjuro, allowing him to fight against noise from then on.

However, Kazanari Genjuro, who already possessed superhuman strength, became even more formidable after obtaining the relic, and could solve most of the world's problems by himself.

As the established adult, he then made a stronger demand that these underage girls stop fighting. Before, it was out of helplessness, but now it was the responsibility of the adults.

The burden of saving the world was suddenly lifted, and the girl was momentarily at a loss as to which direction to strive towards.

However, this kind of adolescent confusion seems to be a good thing, especially for a girl like Kazami Tsubasa who has endured too much that she shouldn't have to endure.

……

"Xiang, what's wrong?"

Kanade Amaga patted her absent-minded junior on the shoulder with a gentle smile on her face.

"Ah, it's nothing... I was just wondering when Ms. Tsubasa and Ms. Kanade could team up again for a concert?... That would be amazing!"

Hibiki Tachibana, who was watching in the group chat as Miko beat up demons and monsters, hurriedly explained after snapping out of her daze.

Although Noise doesn't appear much anymore, as the first person to fuse with a relic, she is still required to come to the Second Department for health checkups frequently.

Well, as for the reason why noise disappeared, although others don't know, she does know some of the truth—Sakurai Ryoko/Finnie went to the moon.

After returning from the moon, Miss Ryoko seemed to be both excited and dejected. However, Master Jagi said that she must have understood the truth of everything, and that they would have a powerful new teammate in the future.

Then, as if a martial arts master had suddenly realized something, Miss Ryoko pulled out all sorts of advanced technologies, such as technology that allows men to use relics, and drugs that increase adaptability, etc.

"There will be that opportunity..."

The red-haired older sister thought for a moment, gave an ambiguous answer, and then laughed cheerfully, "Never mind that for now, let's play games!"

Behind Kanade Amagami followed Tsubasa Kazanari, who sighed helplessly. Ever since her partner's body became able to withstand the load of "Gungnir," she had become a firm believer in someone's proposed anime-watching training method, and even deduced a game training method from it.

Especially fighting games. And the one in the second department who loves to fool around with her the most is Tachibana Hibiki. Whenever the two of them meet, they will engage in a fierce battle, like... right now.

"So-called fighting is just pressing the buttons you want to press!"

Even the most demure and beautiful girl can become like an extremely aggressive flame when playing fighting games, let alone a "good buddy" type like Ame no Kanade. The moment her hand touches the control button, she is completely engulfed in flames.

"Get up and immediately unleash a rising dragon?"

"Without the rising dragon, we can't survive! Here it comes!!! 'Hot!! Oil!! Follow!!'"

"Low health → Four drinks → One thief! → Green rush → Cancel → Time's end → CA → End of the play! Jamie wins!"

"Then how do you deal with me if I use Luke's Down Middle Punch to intercept your Green Rush, then cancel the Green Rush and follow up with a Heavy Kick + Down Heavy Punch + Triple Charged Knuckle Punch + Gray Horse Knight and finally Luke Wins?"

"You're right, but I am the ultimate fist fighter!"

"Massoo!!! The muscles are gleaming! Full power! Full speed ahead! Zangief wins!"

……

Although I felt that these two people just wanted to play games and had nothing to do with training, I couldn't resist Ameyu Kanade's enthusiastic invitations and would occasionally play a couple of rounds.

"Always on the battlefield."

Feng Mingyi murmured a sentence, his energy and spirit were highly concentrated, and then he stretched out his dominant hand.

Fang Ren's eyes sharpened.

If you're going to play, you have to win; losing isn't fun.

……

What does it mean to get inspiration from playing video games?

A girl's voice rang out, but it was clearly filled with disbelief.

She was a beautiful silver-haired girl with pretty light purple eyes and a petite figure. Although she wore the same Lydian Music Academy uniform as Hibiki, she exuded an elegant air of a young lady. She also had a single, curved, barely noticeable ahoge (cowlick) on her head.

She looks about the same size and age as Hibiki—she's a new member of the second department, Hibiki's junior, Yukine Chris.

She is also a user who can transform into Symphogear and uses the second relic, the magic bow Ichii-Bal. Several months ago, she suddenly collapsed in her transformed state on the roadside and was picked up by Hibiki and Mirai who happened to be passing by.

What happened in between is unknown to others, but everyone welcomed the arrival of a new companion, and Xueyin Chris also enjoyed being with them.

But she still didn't understand why everyone's exercise methods were completely different from what she had imagined.

Now that things have come to this, no matter how unwilling people are to believe it, they can only face the reality—playing fighting games really can improve swordsmanship.

Following Kanade Amagami's "War Maiden's Immortality" and Hibiki Tachibana's "Pistol Explosion Fist"... Tsubasa Kazanari also mastered a set of techniques called "Hell's Sword," which includes two moves called...

—"Solar eclipse!" "Lunar waning!"
