My Anime Girlfriends

"Waaaaah..."

"Ugh, so annoying..."

Seeing this, Asuna finally couldn't help but call out to the person standing to the side, "Kuchiki-sensei, why aren't you making a move yet...?"

While Asuna was speaking, I handed a white curtain that I had torn off from somewhere to Takane and Ai Sakura, and while looking at Asuna and Setsuna who were fighting with Negi, I said, "Even if I intervene, there's nothing I can do. Unless Negi and Kaori kiss, there's nothing I can do!"

"Huh?" Asuna and Setsuna immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"However, judging from Negi's appearance, being kissed by him would probably cause him to suffocate!"

Asuna and Setsuna exclaimed in surprise, "No way?"

After Asuna repelled Negi once again, she said, "In that case, I'll definitely protect the bookstore's lips. If you want to kiss her... then..."

Chapter 277 Martial Arts Tournament Final List

"If you want to kiss her... then kiss me first..."

Just as Asuna was about to say the word 'kiss,' I flicked my finger and used a pressure point technique to silence her.

"Ahhh..." Asuna, realizing that she suddenly couldn't speak, immediately covered her neck in surprise. While using her folding fan to block Negi's attack, she desperately tried to speak, and kept casting angry glares at me.

As time passed, I knew I had no choice but to act, because Negi had already broken through Asuna and Setsuna's defenses. So, in an instant, I moved behind Negi, flicked my finger on his back acupoint, and then flicked my finger in succession on his waist acupoint, Quchi acupoint, Zhongwan acupoint, Liugong acupoint, Qiguan acupoint, Xueshou acupoint, Guabang acupoint, Dujiao acupoint, Minggong acupoint, Taiyuan acupoint...

After I stopped, a lifelike statue stood there. I immediately clapped my hands and said with a smile, "Hehe... Perfectly solved!" Just as I finished speaking, Asuna's folding fan hit me on the head.

"It hurts so much..." I couldn't help but say.

She immediately said angrily, "Perfect my foot! Why did you make your move now? You must have done this on purpose! You... bastard!" As she spoke, she tightly gripped my neck with her hand.

I immediately laughed and said, "Don't be so angry! I just didn't find a suitable opportunity to strike. If you don't master the 'pressure point' technique, you can seriously injure Negi."

Upon seeing Negi standing motionless, Konoka immediately smiled and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you're so cool! What was that just now? Can you teach me?"

While trying to pry Asuna's hand off my neck, I nodded and said, "Okay...!"

At this moment, Setsuna, holding Yuunagi, looked at Negi, who was still in a punching stance, and asked in confusion, "Um... what should we do now? Young Master Ten, are you going to let Negi-sensei stay like this forever?"

Hearing her say that, Asuna stopped holding me tightly and looked at Negi with a puzzled expression, asking, "Oh right, Negi, what should we do? Are we just going to leave it like this?"

I immediately said, "Of course not..." Then, looking at Asuna so close to me, I smiled slightly and said, "Um... could you let go now? It's hard for me to talk to you like this..."

Hearing me say that, Asuna blushed and released her right hand that was tightly holding me, looking at me and saying, "Tell me quickly..."

Seeing her like this, I smiled slightly and continued, "Of course not... While acupressure can stop Negi, it can't be sustained, otherwise it will harm the body."

Asuna couldn't help but ask, "Then what should we do?"

Hearing her ask that, I immediately laughed and said, "Hehehe... It's actually very simple. Just like the prince and princess in fairy tales, a kiss... As long as you kiss Xiang and Negi, this matter will be perfectly resolved."

Upon hearing my suggestion, the women exclaimed in surprise, "KISS!!"

Konoka couldn't help but exclaim, "How romantic!"

"Miss!"

Haruna, a fan of BL (Boys' Love), stared at the shy Kaori with shining eyes.

After ending Negi's rampage, I said goodbye to Konoka, Asuna, and Setsuna and arrived at Ryugu Shrine—the venue for the Mahora Martial Arts Tournament preliminary rounds.

As I was walking through the crowd, a person completely shrouded in a black robe suddenly bumped into me. I quickly steadied him, and after I caught him, he immediately apologized profusely in a melodious female voice, "I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry..."

I quickly waved and said, "It's okay, just be careful next time!"

Seeing that I didn't blame him, the other person cautiously asked, "Um... what's your name?"

Hearing her ask that, I immediately smiled and said, "My name is Kuchiki Ten!"

"Thank you very much, well... goodbye!" With that, she turned and ran away.

Watching the man in black disappear into the crowd, I couldn't help but laugh and say, "How strange! But... his voice is very pleasant, I feel like I've heard it somewhere before." With that, I walked towards the martial arts tournament registration area.

Right after I registered, Konoka's adorable voice reached my ears, saying, "Brother Tian..."

Looking back, I saw Konoka standing not far behind me, smiling and waving. Standing next to her were Asuna, Setsuna, Negi, and Kotaro. I had no choice but to walk over.

As soon as I walked up to them, Konaka immediately hugged me and said in a reproachful tone, "Brother Tian, ​​you lied to me. You said you were going on patrol, but you came to participate in the fighting tournament!"

I could only pat her head and say with a smile, "I'm sorry, Konoka, it won't happen again. By the way, didn't you guys go to spy on Negi's date? Why are you back here?"

Hearing me say that, Negi blushed and said, "Brother, why are you saying that!"

Setsuna then spoke up, saying, "That's because Professor Negi has a time machine, so we...!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I couldn't help but exclaim, "You mean the thing Chao gave you was a time machine? That's really amazing!"

Negi asked, "By the way, brother, have you registered yet? The competition is about to start!"

I nodded immediately and said, "I've already signed up, what about you?"

"Ah...not yet!"

Just then, Asakura Kazumi's spirited voice resounded throughout the Ryugu Shrine: "Students of Mahora Academy and those from outside the school! Welcome! Welcome to the 'Mahora Martial Arts Tournament,' which has been successfully revived today. Although we made this announcement suddenly, so many people have still come. We are truly grateful to everyone. The champion's prize is ten million yen! We hope that everyone will win the honor and prize money in this historic tournament! Now... let's have the organizer of this tournament say a few words to everyone!"

Amidst everyone's questions, Chao Lingyin, dressed in a cheongsam, walked out from backstage. Asakura Kazumi immediately pointed at Chao Lingyin and said, "This is Chao Lingyin, the owner of 'Chao Baozi,' the most popular stall in the academy!"

"What? No way!"

"Chao!"

Seeing the surprised crowd below, Chao Lingyin smiled slightly, bowed slightly, and said, "I..."

After Chao's explanation, everyone became excited and joined the registration line. Looking at the crowded queue, I couldn't help but say, "Hehehe... Luckily I registered first!"

"You're so talkative..." Asuna, who was standing in the group, immediately shouted.

"The preliminary rounds of the Mahora Martial Arts Tournament will be conducted in groups of twenty, with each group then holding an elimination tournament. From Group A to Group H, two people will be selected from each group, and finally sixteen people will be chosen to participate in the finals tomorrow!"

Listening to Asakura Kazumi's explanation, I looked at the paper slip marked 'A' in my hand, and then at the paper slips in the hands of Negi, Evangelist, and Ryudo, and immediately smiled and said, "That's great, it seems we don't need to fight today!"

Upon hearing my words, Yiwen immediately retorted angrily, "Consider yourself lucky!"

Negi laughed and said, "That's wonderful!"

Because there were fewer than 160 participants, in Group D, where Gufei and Ryugu were the first to compete, most of the eighteen competitors (excluding Ryugu) dressed in various uniforms immediately rushed towards Gufei at the start of the match.

Gu Fei smiled slightly, abandoning her usual fighting style. She moved with a light step, using the footwork I had taught them, weaving through the crowd like a butterfly flitting among flowers. This stunned those familiar with Gu Fei, and left Asakura, who was explaining the situation, speechless with astonishment.

However, the good times didn't last long. After circling around the crowd a few times, Gu Fei made her move, starting the battle with a 'Bagua-Clap'.

Seeing all the contestants taken down by Gu Fei, Asakura immediately began to commentate: "Wow... Gu Fei, the president of Mahora Junior High School's martial arts club, is so strong! No wonder she was last year's ULTIMAHORA champion! Men who weigh more than twice her weight were all sent flying into the air by her! Although she's small in stature, her strength is like a gorilla's, and although her figure isn't great..."

Listening to Asakura's commentary, Gu Fei, standing on the ring, blushed and said, "Asakura, that's incredibly rude..."

As soon as Gu Fei finished speaking, Brother Long immediately said, "Haha... I feel so relaxed! By the way, were you using footwork before? That was amazing! Can you teach me?"

While the two were talking, the club member who had been knocked down by Gu Fei spoke up, saying, "President Gu, your moves were beautiful today too..."

As the D group matches concluded, battles began in other arenas. Negi's B group immediately attracted the attention of most people. Besides Negi, a contestant who was only 10 years old, the main reason for the attention was that Negi, who had never fought anyone before, used one of the eight ultimate moves of Bajiquan, "Tongtian Pao," to send a man four or five times his weight flying with a single punch at the very beginning of the match, leaving all the surrounding contestants astonished.

Seeing the surprised crowd, Asakura then revealed, "This is only natural! Because we just received news that Negi is Gufi's top disciple!"

The onlookers immediately had an "aha!" expression, and then continued watching the matches on other arenas.

The matches in Group E were entirely a battleground between Kotaro and Nagase Kaede. The entire arena was filled with their clones, and everyone else was wiped out before they even had a chance to make a move.

Setsuna and Asuna's Group C easily defeated all their opponents in no time thanks to their martial arts skills. However, most of them had one thing in common after they fell: they were bleeding from their noses.

Needless to say, Ryudo and Evan's F group consists of one of the strongest monsters in the magical world, the true progenitor of vampires, and the other is a magician recognized as having AA+ strength in the magical world. Most of the experts who couldn't even use 'ki' were almost defeated by Ryudo's Iaijutsu (a type of katana) before they even got close to Ryudo and Evan. Even if there were any who managed to escape, Evan would take them out with her jujitsu.

As for my group, Group A, when Asakura turned her gaze to me, she realized that only I and a rather handsome student in a white karate uniform remained on the entire stage. She couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? There were people in the arena just now, how come there are only two of us left?"

Wearing a tuxedo, I smiled through my terrible expression and said, "Haha... Oh no, I was almost the only one left!" Then, looking at the remaining person, I asked, "What's your name? I can sense you have a good 'qi'!"

Hearing this, a bead of cold sweat trickled down the boy's face as he said, "Nakamura... Tatsuya..."

The preliminary rounds ended much faster than anyone could have imagined, and Negi and the others all advanced to the finals. Asakura Kazumi smiled and said into the microphone, "Thank you all for your hard work! The sixteen finalists have been selected! The finals will begin tomorrow morning at eight o'clock! They will be held at the special venue of Ryugu Shrine! After a fair and impartial draw by the tournament committee, the match schedule for the finals has been announced!" She then pointed to the large screen behind her.

The match schedule on the big screen is as follows:

Ai Sakura – Asuna Kagurazaka.

Nagase Kaede - Kotaro

Sakurasaki Setsuna - Kuchiki Ten

Dragon Palace's real name is Gu Fei.

Tanaka – High D – Goodman.

Takahata Ryūdō – Negi Springfield.

Tatsuya Nakamura – Gunnar Santas

Evangeline AK-McDowell - Keiichi Yamashita

Upon seeing the match list, Negi and I immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? No way! They're putting me against Setsuna (Ryudo)! How can I possibly beat him?!"

In a school cafeteria, Ryudo saw our expressions and immediately smiled at Negi, saying, "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow! Hope you'll go easy on me, Negi!"

Upon hearing Ryudo's words, Negi immediately said, "Ryudo, don't say that! How could I possibly beat you!"

"Hahaha! You'll find out when you get on the field!"

Setsuna, with an indifferent expression, comforted me, saying, "Young Master Tian, ​​please don't hold back. Setsuna can take it!"

"Waaaaah... Setsuna, you're so kind!" After Setsuna finished speaking, I hugged Setsuna and cried, my face filled with overwhelming emotion.

Asuna, who was standing next to me, immediately punched me on the head and said, "Hey, you! Don't try to take advantage of me!"

Watching me and Asuna and the others playfully bickering, Yuue looked at Takamichi and said, "We're going to the celebration party for the first day. Takahata-sensei, do you want to come along?"

"Oh? Can I participate too?"

As fireworks burst in the sky, everyone at the school began the Midnight Festival, the first day of the Mahora Festival, around the World Tree.

Chapter 278 Two Mummy Scents

Inside Evangeline's magical villa, giant waves suddenly surged on the once calm sea. Konoka and Asuna were standing on the shore in black swimsuits. After the sea calmed down again, the scene of me and Setsuna with her wings spread out in mid-air appeared.

I slowly returned the Zanpakuto in my hand to my spatial storage, and looked at Setsuna holding two weapons, one long and one short, and said with a smile, "You've improved a lot, Setsuna! Let's stop here!"

She immediately flapped her wings and bowed to me, saying, "Yes, Young Master Tian!" Then she transformed the short sword in her hand back into a card and put it away.
