Following Lin En's movements, Nero, who had never expected that he would actually swing out a long whip, tried to pull back the chain and use her submachine gun to block his attack, but she lost the initiative and still couldn't catch up with Lin En's speed.

Although Nero had used chains and submachine guns to block the power of the long whip, the end of the whip, which was longer than she had imagined, still hit her arm.

“Gurgle—”

Although the force of this hit was almost negligible, Nero still felt it clearly.

"I didn't expect that you, teacher, are such a good fighter... But I won't be careless again!"

"Well...it's hard to say."

When Lynn turned the whip into a cane and answered like this, Yuka, who was watching, covered her face as if she couldn't bear to watch.

"Teacher...can you please have some moral integrity..."

When Yuka made this move, Akane beside her looked serious and nodded thoughtfully.

"I see... Is this also part of the teacher's strategy..."

However, the atmosphere between the two of them was somewhat out of tune, or even completely different. At this moment, Asuna, who seemed to have fully recovered and was watching the battle with a smile, said with a smile,

"Wahahaha! This is the first time I've seen the Buchou get humiliated like this! So funny!"

"Asuna-senpai...please be considerate of the captain's feelings..."

Although she advised like this, Qian, knowing the other party's temper well, could only sigh helplessly.

While they were talking like this, the third round of the battle between Nero and Lynn had already begun.

"Damn it... Do you think you're the only one who can use a chain?!"

This time, Nero, who had keenly grasped the conditions for using the whip through Lin's action of retracting it, chose to close the distance between her and Lin in one breath. Not only that, she also changed her fighting style. Instead of simply swinging the submachine gun to attack Lin as before, she swung the iron chain between the two submachine guns.

"Do you think this chain of mine is for nothing?!"

Just as Lin En dodged the submachine gun thrown by Nero at him, he was somewhat surprised to find that his wrist was entangled by the chain thrown by the other party due to his action.

Almost at the moment he realized this, a strange force suddenly threw him off the ground!

If Lynn hadn't used his cloak to quickly adjust his posture in the air and kicked the ceiling to accelerate, his head would probably have been hit by the butt of the gun.

Only after landing safely did Lin En feel relieved.

If he had not been on guard against Nero's chains from the beginning, he would probably have fallen to the ground by now.

But Nero would not give Lin En a chance to breathe. Almost the moment he landed, Nero rushed in front of him waving the iron chain and threw the submachine gun at him again.

Seeing this, Lynn could only wave his cane to block the opponent's attack.

However, when Lynn's cane hit the submachine gun thrown by Nero, the opponent, with his much greater strength than him, easily knocked Lynn's cane away.

Suddenly, Lin En felt a huge force coming from the colliding submachine guns, as if what Nero threw out was not a submachine gun, but a meteor hammer, which made his palms numb and even his feet involuntarily took several steps back.

As a person with a lot of combat experience, Nero naturally seized this flaw. He stepped forward and used the force of the blow to swing the other submachine gun tied to the other end of the chain and swung it towards Lin En who was retreating.

This powerful force even caused a strong wind to blow around the submachine gun, and a sharp whistling sound was heard.

Once he hits the target, Lin En can probably go directly to the ice room to report.

Just as Nero had just said, she would not show mercy anymore.

If Lin En used the barrier to block again, Nero would probably use his submachine gun to mercilessly shoot him and his barrier away.

After understanding this, facing the oncoming wind pressure, Lin En tried his best to stay calm, pushed his feet against the ground, and moved his body to the side as fast as possible.

"laugh--"

In an instant, the sound of breaking wind echoed in Lin En's ears, and the sharp wind also brushed past Lin En's body.

If the people in the engineering department hadn't installed a leg-bouncing device in his Phantom Thief Suit that was linked to his shoes, the blow would have hit him hard in the stomach.

In fact, if it weren't for this device, I would have been beaten into a pig's head in this battle.

Without giving Lin any time to breathe, Nero once again swung the chain and submachine gun in his hand.

In an instant, two submachine guns left afterimages in the air and smashed down at Lin En without hesitation.

Faced with this attack from Nero, who was extremely good at close combat, Lynn had no means of responding at all. He could only rely on his monocle to capture the trajectory of the weapon in Nero's hand, plus his own intuition, to barely dodge or block the opponent's attack.

"Chong-"

In another collision, Lin En's palms were once again numb from the powerful force and he took several steps back.

“锵锵锵锵锵锵——”

However, facing Lin En in this state, Nero had no intention of showing any mercy, but continued to pursue him relentlessly. In this regard, Lin En could only cope with it reluctantly.

"I admit that I was wrong. Teacher, you are not as weak as I thought. I apologize to you. But ah..."

As Nero said this, he suddenly tightened his grip on the submachine gun and delivered the heaviest blow yet at Lin.

"clang!"

When the submachine gun landed on the cane, there was a loud bang, and Lynn's cane was knocked away heavily.

Facing Lin who had lost his weapon, Nero pulled back the submachine gun with a chain, took a big step forward, and swung the chain in his hand again.

"Don't underestimate me, teacher!"

However, Nero did not notice the golden light flashing from Lin En's cuffs at this time.

Chapter 41: The Final Trump Card

"call--"

With a whistling sound, the cane that was "shot away" by Nero spun rapidly in the air like a windmill and flew to the side.

Then, it landed in front of Yuka and the others.

"Hmmm... Is this the teacher's weapon?"

Before Yuka and Akane could take a closer look, Asuna, who had stood up at some point, had already picked up the cane and began to examine it carefully.

“Although this thing looks cool and works cool, I don’t know why it feels a little weird…”

Akane chuckled as she heard Yuuka's comment next to her.

"Perhaps it's because in the entire Kivotos, the teacher is probably the only one who owns and uses this kind of cold weapon? For us who are used to using firearms and explosives, it's not surprising to have this strange feeling."

"Uh... Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Seeing Asuna suddenly swinging her cane for some reason, Yuuka took a step back involuntarily.

"Strange... How did the teacher turn this thing into a whip? Wasn't it originally swung out?"

"..."

Hearing Asuna's doubtful words, Yuuka couldn't help but be speechless.

After sighing helplessly once more, Qian answered the C&C communication.

"Hara Rin, have you seen the students from the game development department leaving the Millennium Tower?"

However, after hearing Qian's question, she was responded to by a voice that was also slightly doubtful.

"Hmm? You mean the main gate? But so far, apart from the student named Alice who attacked the Millennium Tower head-on, I haven't seen anyone else enter or leave through the main gate."

"……what?"

--------

On the other side, when Nero knocked Lin En's cane away and swung his determined attack at him without mercy, a golden light suddenly burst out from Lin En's hand!

"Flash bomb? That kind of thing is useless to me!"

Amidst this declaration, Nero showed no fear at all and threw the submachine gun with a chain in his hand towards Lynn!

But in the next moment, a clanging sound of metal collision suddenly rang out!

"what?!"

Nero was surprised when he noticed the unusual touch.

At this moment, Lynn took a step forward and squeezed his body in front of Nero, who had thrown out the submachine gun and had not yet had time to retract the chain.

At the same time, Nero's expression changed.

However, even if he retracted the chain immediately, it was already too late.

Because at this moment she already felt that something was pressing against her abdomen.

"cut."

Nero, realizing this, gasped and wordlessly took two steps back, taking back the submachine guns tied to both ends of the chain.

"I can understand the cane, but where did you hide this long sword?"

"Didn't I say that?"

After placing the Murasame that was used to press against Nero's abdomen on his waist, Lynn decided not to correct the other party and sighed, then said with a smile.

"The Phantom Thief has many magical gadgets."

"I see... No wonder Asuna mentioned wanting to recruit you into C&C when she didn't know the teacher's true identity yet... Hmph, although your combat skills are just barely passable, you do have a quick mind."

Nero said this and looked at Lynn, his eyes becoming different from before.

Although Nero had been defeated by the opponent three times in a row and only had two chances left, she was more concerned about the man in front of her than winning.

In response to Nero's comments, Lynn simply smiled and said so.

"Well, Nero, you better watch it carefully, okay?"

At the same time, Lynn slowly lowered his body and placed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

"My fighting skills aren't that great, but... they're not just barely passable, okay?"

After saying that, an inexplicable aura began to spread around Lynn.

Looking at Lin En like this, Nero first raised his eyebrows slightly, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Then I'll wait and see!"

Almost at the moment when Nero pulled up the chain and prepared to swing it again, Lynn actually launched an attack before her again!

"Snapped!"

With the crisp sound of stomping on the ground, Lin En turned into a whirlwind, carrying a whistling energy, and rushed in front of Nero.

"choke--"

The sound of the blade being unsheathed resounded loudly like an echo.

In an instant, a slash like an aurora suddenly passed by, appearing like a flash of fleeting light, as if to cut off all airflow!

Different from all the previous attacks, this simple blow was extremely fierce and went straight to the vital points!

Even Nero wanted to dodge the attack for a second. But the next moment, a confident smile appeared on her face.

"Ha! How will you know if you don't try?"

As he spoke, Nero had already pulled the chain violently, pulling back the two submachine guns, and at the same time, he chose to suddenly throw them in the direction where Lin En was coming!

Yes, facing Lin En’s fierce attack, Nero did not choose to defend, but counterattack!

However, when Nero saw that the submachine gun she swung out only dispersed two afterimages, she had already anticipated the result.

The next moment, Lynn's attack was already on her.

But when Nero took the blow, he found that something seemed wrong.

"...Blade back? Are you looking down on me?"

Looking at Nero with a puzzled look on his face, Lynn blew away the smoke from the scabbard and sheathed the sword, scratched his cheek and said with a smile.

"Although I know you can take this blow, Nero, but if I use a blade... it will definitely cut or scratch your clothes, which would not be good."
