This time, Yuanxiang anticipated the move and jumped up first, landing on the sole of Doupai's shoe. The powerful force caused the unsuspecting Doupai to slam against the wall. Her petite body stiffened abruptly, and she landed on the ground with a 'thud', then fell silent.
"Is this really a fighting technique that humans can achieve?"
After witnessing all this, Cerberus couldn't help but complain, feeling as if he had taken a nap and the physical abilities of the humans outside had become somewhat outrageous.
Is he still half asleep? How come he hasn't realized that it's just that Yuanxiang-nii is amazing?
Just as Sakura Kinomoto was commenting on Cerberus's reaction, the doll suddenly looked over and pointed at the towing cards lying on the ground, saying:
"Now's the time to reclaim the Clow Cards, just like I taught you before, quick!"
"Ah."
In any case, since it seems that only she possesses the ability to reclaim the Clow Cards, there's no point in refusing any longer. Kinomoto Sakura, holding the necklace, recited the incantation Cerberus had taught her:
"The key that hides the power of darkness."
A magic circle of the sun and moon appeared beneath Kinomoto Sakura's feet, and the sealing key on her necklace also lit up.
"Show me your true power! Sakura, who made a promise with you, commands you: Release the seal!"
As the incantation ended, a burst of intense white light erupted from the necklace. At the same time, the small sealing key began to transform into a long magic wand with a bird's head at its tip and a pair of angel wings beside it. It was entirely cherry-red, perfectly matching the appearance of Kinomoto Sakura.
Then, Sakura Kinomoto picked up her wand, ran to the card holder, raised it high, and while tapping the winged bird's head against the card holder, shouted loudly:
"Restore your original form, Clow Card... Ah!"
Just as the wand was about to fall, Touka suddenly swept the card across the ground, knocking Kinomoto Sakura to the ground. She charged towards Genji with high spirits, seemingly not wanting to be subdued so quickly and wanting to exchange a few more blows with Genji.
At that moment, Gengo saw Kinomoto Sakura sitting on the ground, rubbing her leg that had been swept by the wind, her face contorted in pain. His expression darkened, and the 'Joker' inside his jacket lit up. Purple-black data drifted out like smoke, wrapping around the boy's left hand and transforming into Kamen Rider's gauntlets. A heavy punch was then aimed at Touka.
The intense killing intent made Touka instinctively cross her arms in front of her chest to block, but she immediately realized that this was a power she couldn't withstand. It was too late; the terrifying knight's fist crushed her defenses, slamming her to the ground. Then, Gengo raised his hand, and a gust of wind delivered Kinomoto Sakura's wand to his grasp. The boy's gaze was cold as he swung the wand down at Touka:
"Change back to normal!"
The bird-headed staff aimed at Doupai's forehead, but before it could land, a phantom of a pure white card appeared at the tip of the staff. Doupai, who had fallen to the ground, turned into wisps of smoke-like energy that entered the card and returned to her original form.
"The seal was actually successful..."
Cerberus murmured in a daze, he never expected this.
"Are you alright, Sakura?"
Gengo shook his hand, removing the armor from his wrists. Holding his wand and Clow Cards, he walked to Sakura Kinomoto's side and asked with concern, "..." Sakura smiled and shook her head, but seeing the marks on her legs, it was clear the card player hadn't held back. Gengo used Ripple to heal Sakura's pain, helped her up, returned the wand and Clow Cards to their rightful owner, and then looked at Cerberus beside him, asking:
How many Clow Cards like these are there in total?
"Fifty-two, now there are two left."
After witnessing Genji's abilities, Cerberus became more obedient and answered questions politely. However, Genji didn't care about him and only looked at the girl beside him. The danger of collecting Clow Cards had just been demonstrated, and if this child still wanted to collect Clow Cards, he wouldn't say anything more.
“Brother Gensou, I am partly responsible for the Clow Cards falling apart.”
Seeing Genji's gaze, Kinomoto Sakura knew what he was waiting for. Holding her wand, she said with a hint of shyness:
“If these Clow Cards are left unattended, they will definitely cause trouble for others, so I’m going to collect them all.”
"Then keep it up!"
Gengo chuckled and ruffled her hair. Feeling the warmth on her head, Kinomoto Sakura let out a silly 'hehe' laugh. Then, as if embarrassed, she thumped her palm and deliberately changed the subject, saying:
"Oh right, I haven't tidied up Dad's study yet. I'll go tidy it up first. Krubi... Krubi... Little Krubi, come and help too!"
"Hey? Wait, you didn't remember my name, did you? Cerberus! Cerberus! Remember it!!"
The doll, its wings being pulled by Sakura Kinomoto, struggled in the wind before finally disappearing. Genji smiled helplessly and was about to go help when...
"Brother Yuanxiang, do you know about the Clow Cards?"
"Tomoyo, I don't believe you when you say you can't read minds."
Hearing the girl's question beside him, Gengo turned around helplessly, gently tapped Daidouji Tomoyo's nose, and teased her:
"Or are you the clever worm in my belly? Come on, tell me the truth."
"No way, you'll understand if you think about it carefully."
Daidoji Tomoyo, holding a camera she'd somehow managed to scrape together, looked at Gengo with a smile and said:
"Because Gengo-nii's reaction was very calm. Whether it was the appearance of the Clow Cards or Sakura becoming a magician, it was as if it was all expected. That can only mean that Gengo-nii already knew about these things."
"Hmm...I see."
Gengo nodded thoughtfully, then gave Daidouji Tomoyo a thumbs-up and said:
"Got it. I'll be more careful next time I lie to you."
"Um, Gensou-nii, you're not allowed to lie to me."
Daidouji Tomoyo puffed out her cheeks, waved the camera in the air twice as if to scare him, but as soon as she finished, she couldn't help but laugh. Holding up her index finger, closing one eye, and tilting her head cutely, she said:
"If Gengo-nii insists on lying to me, Tomoyo won't be angry, because Gengo-nii is definitely doing it for my own good."
"Ah~~~ What thoughtful words."
Yuanxiang clutched his chest, speaking with exaggerated emotion:
"It's a pity you're not a boy, Tomoyo, otherwise I would definitely become sworn brothers with you."
"Oh, really, Gensou-nii, can't you be a little more considerate of a girl's feelings?"
"To be honest, I still don't understand what 'girlish heart' really is, hahaha. Okay, okay, let's go help Sakura, let's go!"
Gensho smiled and spun around, then lifted Daidoji Tomoyo from behind, yelling "Whoosh!" as he carried the child like the wind to the study.
........
Is it Kuro Rido?
A moment later, in the office, Gengo ate the pancakes that Kinomoto Sakura had given him when he left. Recalling the look of that bespectacled magician, his tone became somewhat complicated. To be honest, although that guy always said that he was an afterimage, that mysterious and unpredictable aura was really frightening. He always felt that he would only have the confidence to exchange a few blows with him if he activated 'Cyclone Joker Gold Xtreme'.
However... I feel like I've forgotten something...
Ah, yes, Chen is still waiting for my message.
Gengo clenched his fist, hurriedly got up, and rushed to Lungmen to tell his friend about the changes in the Reunion Movement. Shortly after he left, there was a knock at the office door. Takamachi Nanoha peeked out, softly calling Gengo's name. To be honest, she felt she'd made things a bit tense that morning, and felt uneasy at home. Although, as usual, Gengo would quickly come to see her and smooth things over, she felt it wasn't right. Her brother Gengo was already tired; why should he come to comfort her? So…
This time, it's the other way around! Although Gengo was supposed to rest earlier, Nanoha Takamachi knows her older brother's habits very well. To maintain a stable biological clock, he'll only take a short nap, then get up and move around before going to bed properly at night. Therefore, even if there's no one in the agency right now, he'll definitely come out from the back yawning after a while. That's the lesson she's learned from spending so much time together.
Huh? Is he awake already?
Takamachi Nanoha looked at the pancakes on the table, then curiously picked up a can of peaches she had brought from home, walked in, and peeked out to look for Genjiro.
Did he go out again? Hmm... I feel like Gensou-nii has encountered an unexpected amount of trouble this summer. He wasn't even this busy when dealing with monsters before.
Nanoha Takamachi sighed, picked up a pancake, and ate it in small bites like a hamster cracking sunflower seeds.
Brother Yuanxiang, where did you buy these pancakes? They taste surprisingly good. I'll ask Mom to make some for you to try later.
Ah~~~ Where did Yuanxiang go again? Why isn't he back yet.....
While Nanoha Takamachi was waiting at the agency, in a training field, Gengo pressed the 'Prism' memory, sending it into his chest. Then, to Hoshiguma's astonishment, the boy's body glowed faintly, and Prism Radiance flew out from it, landing in Gengo's hand—
Gengo had never been trained in the use of shields before, and Uncle Takamachi was not very proficient in this area either. Although the Patriot he had encountered before should be an expert in this area, the Reunion Movement was in such a mess that he must have a lot to do, so Gengo did not bother him. Now that Hoshiguma was free, he decided to let her ask him for advice.
"This...is amazing."
Hoshiguma walked up to Gengo and curiously poked the boy. She never expected that Gengo would hide a weapon in this way.
"This can be considered a small perk after working so hard before."
Hoshiguma's poking made Gengo very itchy, so he quickly pressed her hand down to answer. However, although Gengo could summon Prism Radiance, it was time-limited. In this state, what was summoned was just a blank slate, unable to insert power into the memory, and... it consumed a lot of stamina. If it weren't for getting used to the feel of the Radiance Shield, Gengo would have just found a training shield to make do with.
"Actually, the use of a shield is not complicated, there are only a few ways to use it."
Hoshiguma coughed, raised her triangular shield 'Hannya', and began her instruction:
"Like blocking, impacting, stabbing, ah, that's how you stab."
Hoshiguma gripped her shield tightly with both hands and thrust it at the chest of the dummy in front of her from above at an angle.
“This can effectively subdue criminals. And... your shield doesn't seem to rotate like the Prajna. Why don't we just go for it?”
"Okay, let's do it then."
Gensou took out the Prism Sword and put it back in his chest. Then, holding the Radiant Shield, he began to spar with Hoshiguma using their shields. The clanging sound was so loud that the trainers next door covered their ears and hurriedly left.
"I have this feeling... we're not training how to use a shield, but just having a strength contest."
After a while, Gengo took the towel that Hoshiguma threw to him, wiped his sweat and said with a subtle expression, "At first, I was paying attention to Hoshiguma's technique, but later it was a completely different story."
"Haha, you're absolutely right, buddy, you're amazing."
Hoshiguma was also covered in sweat, with strands of green hair hanging down from her forehead, giving her a somewhat charming look. Her black training uniform clung to her body, highlighting her tall figure. It was only then that the people who often trained here realized that Officer Hoshiguma also possessed a feminine charm.
"Um!?"
"what happened?"
Seeing Hoshiguma suddenly stand up straight, Gengo scanned her sharp gaze with a puzzled look, and said, finding nothing:
"I haven't found any thieves here."
"It's not about whether it's theft or not, I just sensed a very bad malice."
Hoshiguma continued wiping her sweat, coughed, and changed the subject to avoid being asked about her painful past by Gengo:
"Speaking of which, where did you learn all this kung fu? Your moves are so wild, I feel like even underground boxers aren't as wild as you."
"Ah... When I was little, I practiced kendo at my uncle's house next door for a while, and then... and then I learned a little bit of everything from all over the place. I mainly got beaten up a lot, and slowly I got the hang of it."
Gengo wiped the sweat from his face and answered in a muffled voice. After hearing this answer, Hoshiguma shook her horn, thought seriously for a moment, and said:
"Yuanxiang, to be honest, I feel you're being a bit too greedy."
"Ok?"
Yuanxiang took off the towel unexpectedly, making a puzzled nasal sound.
"You've probably noticed it too, haven't you? You've gotten used to an offensive-defense style of fighting, using the opponent's force against them. And rather than specializing in a particular weapon, I suggest you focus on your fists and feet. As for other weapons, you only need to be able to use them proficiently. A person's energy is limited, especially yours."
Hoshiguma wrung out the towel and calmly said:
"You might get caught up in the next battle at any time, so focus on what you have now. If I remember correctly, for example, test the limits of your new body first."
"Yes, you have a point."
Yuanxiang nodded and carefully wrote it down. Indeed, after that battle, he was at a loss as to where to start to improve his combat power.
