Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Of course, you can call her "Unlucky Sister Flower" if you prefer, which means you don't mind.

So, that afternoon, when Zhao Weike confidently followed Tony and Sherlock to the basement and learned about the so-called 'close combat training,' his eyes turned fierce as he looked at Sherlock and Tony.

If it weren't for Sister Hua, the big boss, standing there, Zhao Weike would probably have targeted Sherlock and Tony, those two bastards, first.

Most importantly, being tricked by Tony and Sherlock wasn't what bothered Zhao Weike the most; what bothered him even more was the weapon that Sister Hua assigned to him!

Based on the traditional idea that killers are the same as assassins, Sister Hua only threw two wakizashi to Zhao Weike.

The term "wabi-zashi" might be hard to understand; it's essentially just two short blades that aren't much longer than a dagger.

When Zhao Weike received the weapons, he glanced at Sister Hua, who stood in the pool of blood holding a blood-stained longsword, looking like a demon king. Then he looked at the spear in Sherlock's hand, the katana in Tony's hand, and finally the two little gadgets in his own hand.

Zhao Weike really wanted to die; this was too much to bear!

Needless to say, the three grown men were completely exhausted by Sister Hua in just one afternoon. Sometimes, Sister Hua didn't even have to lift a finger; the three men would stand within the range of Sister Hua's healing abilities and start frantically hacking at each other. All Sister Hua had to do was repair the damage.

After an afternoon of 'training', Zhao Weike finally understood why Sherlock and Tony were so distracted during lunch.

If it were him, he would be just as distracted.

Of course, as the saying goes, "one is influenced by one's company," and Zhao Weike, the scoundrel who spent the most time with Sherlock, had long been led astray by Sherlock.

After enduring an afternoon of torment, Zhao Weike decided that he couldn't let himself suffer alone, and that very night he made a phone call to Anna and Mindy.

So, the two naive girls rushed back the next day at noon, and by the afternoon, the number of people in the distraught group had increased from three to five.

As for Sister Hua, she didn't refuse at all, and even felt a little unsatisfied.

But to be honest, Sister Hua was quite impressed. They were truly soldiers trained by Sherlock; all five of them looked exactly alike.

The original trio could inexplicably start killing each other within their own escape routes due to disagreements over action plans or even the failure of a single round of combat.

It has now turned into a massive battle involving the three assassin masters and their apprentices fighting each other, plus Sherlock and Tony in a chaotic melee.

Although Sister Hua had lived for so long, this was the first time she had used the "All-Out Attack" technique for teaching, she had never really seen such a scene before. When these five people started fighting each other, their attacks were so ruthless that even Sister Hua would occasionally gasp in shock.

Most importantly, after these five people finished fighting each other, they were able to stand on the same side and continue to attack each other, and it even developed into a kind of inexplicable tacit understanding.

After each round of fighting against themselves, the five people respawn and immediately start attacking each other. The victor becomes the leader and then devises a strategy to fight against themselves again.

Although the speed has slowed down somewhat, the combat effectiveness is indeed constantly improving.

This situation lasted for two whole days. Two days later, Captain America and Black Widow returned with Pierce.

Training was temporarily suspended for the morning to give Tony time to deal with Pierce's matter.

After these past few days of life-or-death struggle, Tony, to be honest, no longer valued Pierce as much. After interrogating Pierce about the truth behind his plan to assassinate his parents and the information about Peggy Gardner, Tony simply and decisively killed Pierce.

Then Sherlock arrived and proceeded with the complete process of destroying the body and covering up the crime. The whole process didn't even take an hour. Afterward, a group of people went to fool Captain America and Black Widow.

The end result was that the Lost and Dejected Squad expanded from five to seven members.

That's right, Captain America and Black Widow were also killed by Flower Girl.

Furthermore, the addition of the captain made things much easier for the assassin trio led by Zhao Weike. The reason is simple: the captain's only weapon is that round shield. What made the assassin trio even happier was that the captain didn't dare to use his flying shield technique when facing Sister Hua.

The reason is simple: if the captain dares to let the shield slip from his hand, he will definitely die in the next second; there will be no second possibility.

Of course, Black Widow's side was a little better off than Captain America's, but not by much. Black Widow had the most weapons among the group, while Flower Sister kept the Widow's Dagger and Black Widow's two extendable batons.

Although there are more of them, only the Widow's Dagger can be considered effective in causing damage. However, this thing is only effective at close range, and its attack range is even shorter than the wakizashi in the hands of the assassin trio.

As for Black Widow and Captain America...

Honestly, the two were shocked by Sister Hua's powerful fighting ability, and also surprised by the way the five people who initially received Sister Hua's training decided who would lead the next round.

When the two were resurrected, they were stunned to see Sherlock, Tony, Zhao Weike, Anna, and Mindy fighting each other in a frenzy.

However, the two of them soon joined the battle, after all, the post-resurrection trash talk was so bad that you really wanted to kill all your teammates who were useless.

It's only natural that a situation would arise where seven people are fighting each other. Anyone who has ever played together with friends should understand this. The only difference is that before, after trash-talking, it was a solo duel in the game, but now it's turned into a real-life, passionate knife fight.

Of course, there were definitely some personal grudges involved. According to Sister Hua's observation, Zhao Weike was ruthless and merciless towards Sherlock, and Anna and Mindy were also exemplary traitors to Zhao Weike.

The Captain and Tony's sides are completely opposite. The Captain's side usually kills Tony with a single blow, while Tony's side usually targets the Captain and tries to sabotage him.

What? You mean Scarlett Johansson? Scarlett Johansson treats everyone equally, regardless of gender. She hits wherever it hurts the most. Even the most low-level thugs, like Sister Flirt, are amazed and say it's too dirty.

Chapter 430 A Circle of Kicks from the Masses

Seven people spent three whole days, starting with extreme verbal abuse and complaining to each other, then engaging in a passionate knife fight to determine the leader, and even exchanging insults during lunch and dinner.

The next day, the seven people were so exhausted from being killed by Sister Hua that they were listless during meals, and even frequently put food into their nostrils.

By the third day, I had finally learned a little about how to coordinate different weapons and professions, and finally found a trick to deal with Sister Hua.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, with the captain holding the shield as the front line, Sherlock standing behind the captain with a spear as the output, Tony and Black Widow as the flanks to protect Sherlock, and the assassin trio roaming around to be responsible for sneak attacks, they successfully left a cut on Sister Flower's arm.

For this opening, the group paid a price: the entire assassin trio was wiped out, Tony and Black Widow were reduced to half their original size, the captain, who was in the front line, was directly cut into pieces, and even Sherlock was severely injured and unable to get up.

After Hana used her power to revive everyone once again, she actually put away her sword, reverted to her Yamato Nadeshiko form, and looked at the seven people who had finally managed to hurt her with a smile, announcing to them.

"Congratulations on your graduation."

As soon as Sister Hua said this, everyone who was preparing to fight each other to decide what tactics to use in the next round froze on the spot, all looking at Sister Hua with disbelief.

After confirming that Sister Hua was not lying, the seven people present suddenly cheered.

The feeling was comparable to graduating from Hengshui No. 2 High School, and even had a liberating, vengeful pleasure.

However, just as Sherlock was basking in the joy of finally graduating, he suddenly discovered that the cheers around him had disappeared.

When Sherlock sensed something was wrong and looked around warily, he discovered that his teammates, who had stood by him through thick and thin against the big boss, Sister Flower, were now all grinning and cracking their knuckles around him.

The crackling sound made Sherlock break out in a cold sweat almost instantly.

"What are you trying to do? We've all graduated! Fighting is not allowed on campus!"

"Don't worry, this isn't a fight, it's just simple revenge."

After hearing Sherlock's words, Tony grinned and clenched his fist, saying to Sherlock, "Clearly, not only Tony, but the rest of the group thought the same thing."

What made Sherlock feel even more desperate was that, seeing that no one refuted his words, Tony, after thinking for a moment, actually threw away his katana, held the scabbard in his hand and brandished it, then nodded in satisfaction and continued walking towards Sherlock.

Upon seeing Tony's actions, everyone's eyes lit up the next second, and they all began to look for handy tools. While searching for a suitable weapon, they walked towards Sherlock's direction. If they couldn't find one, they simply picked up a stone from the ground.

After completely trapping Sherlock, Zhao Weike grinned maliciously, weighed the stone in his hand, and asked Sherlock a question.

"Any last words or final wishes?"

Gudong.

Sherlock swallowed hard, looked around at the ferocious expressions on everyone's faces, and then, as if giving up the struggle, squatted down, adopting a defensive posture with his hands behind his head, before speaking to everyone.

"If possible, I hope you can let me go! Of course, I know that's unrealistic. How about we make a gentleman's agreement: you throw away your weapons, and I won't use my armor for defense!"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, everyone present sneered. Tony was the first to react, immediately dropping his scabbard and rushing towards Sherlock.

"Very well, I'll grant your request!"

As Tony finished speaking, the others followed closely behind him and rushed towards Sherlock, determined to vent all the suffering they had endured at Sister Flower on Sherlock, the culprit.

Let Sherlock, that little rascal, experience what it means to be kicked around by the crowd.

In an instant, countless fists, slaps, and kicks rained down on Sherlock, who screamed and begged for mercy amidst the relentless barrage of punches.

Five minutes later, everyone was exhausted from fighting and finally decided to let Sherlock go. Having vented all their pent-up anger, they felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Everyone chuckled and dusted off non-existent dust, then made plans to go to the PAB club's new address that evening, to have a good drink in the warehouse to celebrate graduation.

As for Sherlock?

Sherlock lay motionless on the ground, covered in footprints, looking like he had been badly beaten.

Only after everyone had left the underground space did Sister Hua smile and look at Sherlock, who was lying motionless on the ground.

"Alright, stop pretending. They're all gone. It's just the two of us left."

Upon hearing Sister Hua's words, Sherlock immediately sprang to his feet, showing no sign of having been badly beaten.

Even the instant Sherlock stood up, the dense footprints on his body vanished like dust, disappearing without a trace.

That's right, Sherlock cheated.

Although Sherlock said he wouldn't use armor for defense, he didn't say he wouldn't use anything else for defense!

Sherlock decisively activated the power of the Space Stone, and, referencing Gojo Satoru's magic, created a simplified version of spatial defense for himself. This ensured that those who attacked him could feel the impact while also preventing him from getting hurt.

You want to kick me?

Ha! Dream on!

After looking around to make sure everyone had left, Sherlock decisively used alchemy to create a chair for himself, plopped down on it, and then looked at Sister Hua, asking her in surprise.

"Sister Hua, did you really forge your own true fighting style based on the book that the black-hearted boiled egg gave you?"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Sister Hua was slightly taken aback, partly surprised by Sherlock's use of the term to address a powerful figure like the Ancient One, and partly by Sherlock's sensitivity.

However, Hana quickly came to terms with it. After all, the Zanpakuto in her hand was an item made by Sherlock, and its inherent limits could not be hidden from Sherlock himself. It was not surprising that Sherlock discovered it.

With a gentle glance at the sword hanging at her waist that was exactly the same as her Zanpakuto, Hana spoke to Sherlock.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you."

After hearing what Hana said, Sherlock frowned slightly as he looked at the Zanpakuto at Hana's waist. After thinking for a moment, he spoke to Hana.

"Is it really worth it? A real fight should be much stronger than a so-called Zanpakuto, right? Is it really okay to restrict a real fight with the original Zanpakuto's rules?"

Upon hearing Sherlock's concerns, Sister Hua simply smiled and shook her head before speaking to Sherlock.

“I’ve gotten used to her abilities; for me, her abilities are the best fit.”

Sister Hua paused here before continuing to speak to Sherlock.

"What's more, a real fight would have significantly enhanced her abilities."

Chapter 431 The Club Base: From Slingshot to Cannon

Sherlock did not refute what Hana said. Thanks to Kubo's poor ending, Sherlock did not know the true situation of Hana's Zanpakuto.

The current All-Encompassing is nothing more than an 'inflatable doll' forged by Sherlock based on existing information, combined with Asgardian magic and technology acquired from interstellar civilizations, plus a tiny bit of the Philosopher's Stone.

The strength of this knife today is entirely due to Sister Hua's use of the books provided by the Ancient One, to painstakingly forge the bones and muscles within this inflatable doll, which is only a thin layer of skin, using her own soul as a hammer.
