My Anime Girlfriends

As Setsuna and I flew back to the shore, Konoka and Asuna immediately pounced on Setsuna, stroking her wings incessantly, which made Setsuna blush and let out moans.

Konoka stroked Setsuna's wings and said with a smile, "Setsuna, you and Ten-nii are both so amazing! You even managed to split the sea."

Asuna immediately nodded and said, "Oh right. Speaking of which, you have to compete against Mr. Kuchiki tomorrow. I wonder who is stronger between you and him? However, weapons cannot be used in the competition, so Mr. Kuchiki's beautiful moves cannot be used. In that case, Setsuna has a better chance of winning."

Upon hearing Asuna's words, Setsuna immediately blushed and shook her head, saying, "Asuna, you misunderstand. Every time Young Master Ten fought me, he only used about the same amount of power as me. If Young Master Ten went all out, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to withstand a single move."

Upon hearing Setsuna's words, Asuna exclaimed in surprise, "No way! Does that mean you're definitely going to lose tomorrow's match?!"

Seeing Asuna's surprised expression, I smiled and said, "Asuna, don't say that! It makes me very sad!"

Upon hearing what I said, Asuna spat out her saliva right in front of me.

Looking at Asuna's funny face, I said, "But speaking of which... I have to compete against Setsuna tomorrow, what should I do? I really can't bring myself to defeat Setsuna in front of so many people! Also... I really want to see Setsuna's heroic figure in battle!" As I said this, I held my head with a headache-ridden expression, and then squatted down and started drawing circles on the ground.

Seeing my reaction, Setsuna blushed, Asuna crossed her arms and pouted, while Konoka patted my shoulder with a comforting expression, saying, "It's okay, it doesn't matter whether Setsuna or Ten-nii wins, Konoka will always support you!"

Just then, Evangeline, Kotaro, and Negi came over. While I was fighting Setsuna, Negi and Kotaro were on the other side asking Evangeline for some fighting techniques that used magic instead of ki.

When Yiwen saw me squatting on the ground looking dejected, she immediately laughed and said, "You deserve your bad luck!"

Negi immediately said, "Master Yiwen, please don't say that about my brother. Actually, my brother is in a difficult position too!"

With Chacha Zero perched on his head, Evangeline looked at the kind-hearted Negi and immediately revealed an evil smile, saying, "Kid! If you say another word, I'll take back your ring and double your training!"

When Evan mentioned the words "double the training," Negi immediately hid behind Kotaro in fear, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Chacha Zero suddenly pulled out two large swords and said, "Hehe... Master, can I do this?"

Asuna, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in front of Negi, saying, "Evangeline, stop bullying the child!"

"Shut up, you mother monkey, get out of here!"

"What?! You filthy vampire..."

While Evian and Asuna were fighting, I stood up and walked towards them. Instead of telling everyone I would separate them, I said, "You two continue, I'm going out first!" I walked past them and headed towards the villa's exit.

After I was teleported out of the villa, I went straight to my room, lay on the bed, and fell into deep thought. It was not for any other reason than that I noticed that since the days before the school festival started, the speed at which I absorbed energy had increased exponentially. At this rate, I estimated that there wouldn't be much time left after the school festival ended. Thinking about this, my mind was in complete chaos.

Just then, Munaika walked in, looked at me, and asked, "Brother Tian, ​​what's wrong?"

I immediately smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about the competition!"

Upon hearing this, Munaika immediately put on a stern face and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you're lying!"

I immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Huh...?"

While I was still wondering, Munaika had already thrown herself into my arms, hugging me tightly and softly saying, "Brother Tian, ​​promise me..."

"Huh? Promise what..."

"You'll never leave Konoka's side again... okay?"

Hearing her say that, I was taken aback, because I didn't expect Konoka to ask me to agree to this. I immediately forced a smile, patted her head, and asked, "Why do you want me to agree to this? I'll agree!"

Seeing that I agreed, Konoka asked with a face full of joy, "Really?"

I smiled and nodded, saying, "Really!"

Konaka immediately smiled and said, "Then it's a promise!" With that, she kissed me on the lips.

The instant Konoka asked me her question, a pink magic circle appeared around us. Along with the circle's light, the Command Seals on Konoka's arm lit up, and a powerful yet familiar magical energy immediately emanated from her. Although it was only for a moment, I clearly felt that this magical energy was exactly the same as what I had felt when the World Tree first emitted its light. For a moment, I was filled with confusion. At this moment, Konoka gave me a different feeling than usual; it seemed as if she possessed something new.

After the kiss ended, Konoka blushed immediately, not daring to look back, and then said with a smile, "I'm not talking to Ten-nii anymore, I'm going to find Asuna and Kosatsu." With that, she ran towards the basement where the 'villa' was located.

About five minutes after Konoka left, she returned with a smile on her face, holding Setsuna's hand. When she saw me in the room, she immediately said, "Brother Ten, so you were here."

I immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I haven't left!" As I said this, I suddenly felt something was wrong, so I asked, "Konaka, you... how did you get out with Setsuna?"

Konoka immediately smiled and said, "Hehe... because Setsuna said she has something to tell you." As she spoke, she pushed Setsuna from behind her in front of me.

As she was pushed in front of me, she said nervously, "Um... Young Master Tian, ​​I want to say... please give it your all in tomorrow's competition. I want to know just how strong I really am... Is that... okay?"

After Setsuna finished speaking, I smiled slightly and said, "If it's Setsuna's request, then sure!"

At that moment, she immediately said happily, "Thank you, Young Master Tian!"

After I agreed, Konaka smiled and said, "Then... Brother Ten, let's go back!" With that, she pulled Setsuna down into the underground.

Seeing Konoka and Setsuna about to enter the basement, I couldn't help but ask, "Konoka, you...you came out with Setsuna just now?"

Munaika immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes! Is there something you need, Brother Tian?"

Hearing Konoka say that, I smiled and shook my head, saying, "It's okay! Have fun!"

After Konoka and Setsuna left, my face turned pale. Evian's magic villa functions as one day inside, one hour outside. Besides this, there's another rule that must be followed: one must stay inside for a day, or one hour outside, before being allowed to leave. However, Konoka only went in for less than fifteen minutes before coming out again. Theoretically, only someone like me could break this rule, but Konoka, despite possessing powerful magic, couldn't use it, so breaking the rule was impossible. That leaves only one possibility: there's a 'Konoka' that isn't the Konoka I know. So, who is this Konoka who made the promise with me?

Chapter 279 Martial Arts Tournament Finals 1

Ryugu Shrine, 8:00 AM the next morning

The entire Ryugu Shrine was filled with Asakura's passionate voice: "Ladies and gentlemen! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting! The first final match of the Mahora Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin!" As she spoke, Asuna, dressed in a short-skirted maid outfit, wearing a nurse's cap and holding a folding fan, and Ai Sakura, wearing a black cloak, walked onto the ring from either side.

After the two stepped onto the stage, the crowd below began to discuss among themselves. Because these two looked like cute little girls, compared to the taller and bigger contestants, the audience began to doubt the fairness of the competition.

Because Ai had kept her face hidden under her cloak the whole time during the car ride yesterday, Asuna only just noticed her. So Asuna immediately said, "Huh? Aren't you the girl from before?"

The girl, Ai, immediately blushed and said, "I was so rude yesterday! I... I didn't want to do that... but it was my older sister's order. Asuna-san, I'm going to defeat you!"

Upon hearing this, Asuna raised her folding fan, assumed a fighting stance, and said with a smile, "Oh... nice to meet you!"

Under Asuna's gaze, Ai Sakura took out a card and chanted a spell: "Ade-at!" As soon as she finished speaking, a bamboo broom appeared in her hand, and after taking the broom, she twirled it in her hand and struck the appropriate pose.

After a slight pause, Asuna immediately smiled and said, "Here I come!" With that, she raised her folding fan and rushed forward.

Seeing Asuna rushing towards her, Ai Sakura immediately raised her broom, and a 'Magic Archer - Fire Arrow' shot towards Asuna.

"Drink!" Asuna immediately swung her folding fan (the Demon-Slaying Sword) to meet her 'fire arrow'. With a crisp sound, the fire arrow was instantly neutralized by Asuna.

"Huh...?" Seeing her fire arrow disappear, Ai Sakura stopped casting her next spell and exclaimed in confusion.

After Asuna negated Ai Sakura's magic archer, she didn't pause at all. In a flash, she moved in front of Ai and waved her folding fan at the sea, which was still in surprise.

Seeing Ai Sakura knocked unconscious by Asuna, Negi and Setsuna in the stands immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Instantaneous Movement!"

"Asuina-kun, when did you learn this skill?"

Kotaro laughed and said, "Negi, the people around you are all pretty amazing!"

I was frowning and looking around in confusion, because I felt a familiar magical fluctuation again.

After Asuna came down from the ground, the victorious woman, Negi, Setsuna, and I immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations, Asuna! You won!"

Asuna looked a little uncomfortable at this moment, as if she was wondering about something, but she quickly realized what was wrong and looked at us with a smile, saying, "Hehe... there!"

As we were talking, the second match had already begun. Nakamura Tatsuya, dressed in a white taekwondo uniform, immediately threw a punch at Gunnar, who was wearing a cloak. A white 'Yuandang' formed from condensed ki grazed Gunnar's body and struck the roof behind him.

Seeing that his first attack had missed, Nakamura Tatsuya did not pause and gathered his 'ki' again to prepare for another attack. However, his opponent did not give him the chance. Without seeing Gunnar make any move, Nakamura Tatsuya only felt an enormous pressure instantly strike him, and then he lost consciousness.

Next was the third match. Kotaro immediately smiled and said to Negi beside him, "It's my turn to go on stage. My opponent is Kaede-nee. I'm ready for battle." With that, he ran onto the ring.

After stepping onto the ring, Kotaro looked at Nagase Kaede and said with a smile, "Kaede-neechan, this time I'm going to defeat you and settle things once and for all!"

Nagase Kaede immediately squinted his eyes, put his finger to his lips, and said with a smile, "Perfect timing... I thought so too!" As he spoke, the two moved, and in an instant, the arena was filled with their figures.

In the end, the match ended in Kotaro's defeat. Although Kotaro is powerful now, she has no chance of winning against Nagase Kaede without transforming. In addition, the entire arena was destroyed beyond recognition, with no less than hundreds of wounds of varying sizes left on it.

After a 20-minute intermission, the previously badly damaged ring was restored to its original state. The fourth match officially began, and Ryugu and Gufei walked onto the ring with smiles. Because of the previous match, the audience no longer had any doubts about the contestants' ages, and with Gufei's fans also present, the entire venue immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

At the start of the match, Gufi flew backward and fell onto the ring, which puzzled the surrounding audience. Amidst their puzzled gazes, a 500 coin fell from the sky onto the ring.

Kaoru Gotokuji, the commentator who was defeated by Negi in the preliminaries, immediately said, "That move just now was 'Arhat Coin'!"

Chachamaru, who was also providing the explanation, asked, "Mr. Gotokuji, what is 'Arhat Coin'?"

"That's a type of concealed weapon from China, to put it simply, it's a 'coin dart' that uses a coin-shaped weapon as a weapon..."

While Gotokuji was giving his commentary, Gufei, who had been lying on the arena, suddenly sprang to her feet, touched her forehead, and said to Ryugu with a smile, "Shinmei, you're amazing! You didn't hold back at all!"

Upon seeing Gu Fei stand up, her loyal fans in the audience immediately shouted joyfully, "President!!!"

"I love you!!"

Hearing the shouts from the stage, Ryugu looked at Asakura, who was standing not far from the arena, and said, "Asakura, you'd better back off! Come on, Kofi!"

Gu Fei immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's go!!"

Ryugu immediately smiled and said, "I won't be polite!" As she spoke, a stack of coins slid from her sleeve into her hand, and then she flicked her fingers, sending the entire stack of coins flying in a few seconds.

Seeing the attack that had riddled the wooden floor of the arena with holes, anyone would know that being hit by such an attack would feel even stronger than being punched. Gu Fei kept swaying her body, dodging all of Long Gong's attacks, and slowly moving towards Long Gong as she dodged.

....................................

Looking at Ryugu lying on the mangled floor and Gufei kneeling beside him, covered in wounds, Asakura announced, "He's down! Ryugu has been knocked down. Countdown begins... 1... 2... 10! Gufei wins! Gufei defeats Ryugu and advances to the second round."

After Gufi stepped off the ring, the engineering students responsible for repairs immediately carried their tools and ran back onto the ring. About ten minutes later, the damaged ring was restored to its original condition. Once the floor was in place, Asakura announced, "Gentlemen, thank you for waiting. The ring floor is repaired. We'll now proceed with the next match. Next up are... Tanaka Sen from the Engineering Department of Mahora Academy, and... High-D Goodman, a second-year student at St. Ursula Girls' High School!"

At Asakura's introduction, a tall man with spiky hair and sunglasses, and a blonde girl in a black nun's habit and a nurse's cap, stepped onto the ring.

Ai Sakura, who had been defeated by Asuna, had regained consciousness and immediately shouted upon seeing the high note come on stage, "Sister... don't let your guard down!"

Gao Yin smiled slightly upon hearing Ai's words and loudly addressed the contestants' seats, "Hehe... I finally have a chance to show my strength, Negi-sensei! You only started to get anxious after seeing my true strength... That's too late! Today I'm going to correct your lax attitude on duty... You're not even here!" After speaking for a while, Gao Yin realized that Negi, who was supposed to be in the contestants' seats, had already disappeared.

Seeing Gao Yin pointing in this direction, I immediately smiled and said, "Gao Yin looks very energetic. Sorry, Negi isn't here right now; he went to the infirmary."

Seeing his right hand pointing at me, Gao Yin hurriedly withdrew it and said nervously, "Ah... I'm sorry, Mr. Kuchiki, my apologies!"

Seeing her like this, I smiled slightly and said, "No need to apologize, you can continue!"

Seeing my reaction, Gao Yin blushed with embarrassment. At that moment, Asakura announced the start of the fifth match. Tanaka, standing opposite Gao Yin, opened his mouth and a camera-like device emerged from it, then fired a red beam of light at Gao Yin's astonishment.

"Whoaah..." Gao Yin hurriedly dodged the beam of light in a very ungraceful manner.

The audience was stunned by Tanaka's attack and began to murmur, "Oh... what was that?"

"Mr. Tanaka actually shot out a beam of light from his mouth?"

At this moment, Satomi Hakase, nicknamed "Doctor," walked to the presentation area, picked up the microphone, and began to speak: "That is a new type of robotic weapon being tested by the Engineering Department. Its machine number is T-ANK-a3, and its nickname is 'Mr. Tanaka'."

After Satomi Hakase finished speaking, Chachamaru chimed in, "He's like my younger brother!"

After they finished speaking, the audience immediately looked at the two on the stage with sparkling eyes and said, "I see, robots really do that—"

Upon hearing the audience's discussion, Qianyu, who had come to watch the match, immediately said, "Hey... wait! Don't you guys find this strange?"

Although Gao Yin kept dodging Tanaka's attacks on the stage, she was hit by Tanaka's beam of light. After putting on a show, she sent Tanaka flying with an iron fist filled with the anger of a young girl.
