In the anime, people are in everyday Tokyo, but they are playing the reincarnation game

Ashikaga Miwa turned around and walked into the compartment at the back of the dojo. When she came out again, Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi were shocked when they saw what she was holding in her hand.

"This...gun?"

This gun is not the kind of long spear used as a cold weapon, but the gun used by carbon-based organisms during the cooling-off period.

Ashikaga Miwa held a black pistol in her left hand and a camouflaged rifle in her right hand. She had transformed from the image of a martial arts master to a middle-aged female soldier king wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

Such a modern weapon appeared in such a simple and solemn dojo. This painting style is simply wrong, right?

As if noticing the doubts of Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi, Asagiri walked slowly into the middle of the field and chuckled.

"Don't worry, the gun is not loaded with live bullets, but rubber bullets."

"this..."

Yuuki Asuna frowned slightly and said worriedly.

"So your so-called special training means fighting Ashikaga-sensei who's armed with a gun? But you can't win with bare hands, right?"

Before Asagiri could speak, Ashikaga Miwa said lightly.

"That's hard to say."

Ashikaga Miwa put the camouflaged automatic rifle aside, then pulled the bolt of the pistol, opened the safety of the gun, looked at Asagiri who was about ten meters away from her, and slowly spoke.

"A warrior must be prepared to handle all weapons. Firearms are also weapons. Using honed skills and experience to bridge the gap between weapons is a must for warriors."

Asagiri chuckled when he heard that.

"You're almost fifty, why are you still suffering from Chuunibyou?"

Ashikaga Miwa raised her hand to push up her gold-rimmed glasses and spoke slowly.

"I'm only 38 this year, what do you mean by almost 50..."

Just when Ashikaga Miwa was speaking halfway, she saw Asagiri suddenly rushing towards where she was standing.

Without any hesitation, she immediately raised the gun in her hand and pointed the muzzle at Asagiri. As she pulled the trigger, a smile appeared on her usually serious face.

That’s right, this is a warrior.

Use all means, even if it is a so-called despicable sneak attack, as long as you can win, as long as you can be the one standing to the end, it is worth it.

"boom!"

The second before Ashikaga Miwa pulled the trigger, Asagiri, who was sprinting, suddenly moved slightly to the side. The next second, a solid rubber bullet flew past his cheek.

"Hmm? Good judgement."

Ashikaga Miwa narrowed her eyes slightly, immediately aimed at Asagiri's chest, and pulled the trigger again.

This time, Asagiri dodged slightly, but the solid rubber bullet still hit his right chest near the shoulder.

"boom."

Just by watching Asagiri being hit by the rubber bullet, Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi felt a dull pain in their chests.

Just when they thought that Asagiri would stop, they saw that she didn't stop at all, and didn't even make any sound of pain, as if she didn't feel any pain at all, and continued to rush towards Ashikaga Miwa.

Before Ashikaga Miwa could pull the trigger again, Asagiri had already grabbed Ashikaga Miwa's wrist.

"Mr. Ashikaga, you lose."

084 Teammates and Lovers

Hearing Asagiri's words with a smile, Ashikaga Miwa was silent for a few seconds, then let go of her hand, letting the black gun fall to the wooden floor, and then said lightly.

"Yeah, I lost."

At this time, Kato Megumi and Yuuki Asuna, who were not far away, looked at Asagiri standing there with a smile on her face, and their feelings became a little complicated.

Rubber bullets are just things that have rubber as the warhead, so they won't penetrate the human body directly like real bullets. However, the basic structure of the bullet and the speed at which it is fired are no different from real bullets. If hit at close range, there is also the risk of injury or even death.

And just now... Asagiri was hit by a rubber bullet from a pistol at a close distance of less than ten meters, but his movements did not pause for the slightest, as if he felt no pain at all.

Is this...really a human?

"You just did a great job."

Ashikaga Miwa took two steps back, picked up the black pistol from the ground, turned the safety back on, then looked at Asagiri and spoke in a calm tone.

"When facing an enemy armed with a gun, you can't just rush forward. That will only lead to bullets hitting your vitals and instantly rendering you incapable of fighting. But equally, you can't be too frightened and dodge hastily. After all, the faster you approach, the less time the enemy has to aim and fire."

"Predicting the location of the bullet's firing, trying to avoid hitting vital parts, and approaching the enemy as quickly as possible is indeed the most correct choice."

"only...."

Ashikaga Miwa raised her hand to adjust the frame of her glasses, looked directly into Asagiri's eyes, and spoke slowly.

"Judging from your reaction, you seem familiar with the pain of being hit by a bullet. Even when being pointed at, you showed no fear or panic. Have you had a similar experience before?"

"Of course."

Asagiri replied with a nonchalant smile.

"Not to mention being hit by bullets, I was even shot and killed by an automatic rifle once."

Ashikaga Miwa sighed slightly and said helplessly.

"Shot once? So the one talking to me now is a ghost? Never mind, it doesn't matter if you don't want to talk about it. Let's continue with the special training."

What Ashikaga Miwa didn't know was that Asagiri was not joking with her, but was telling the truth.

A personality mask is a projection of the mind that is in tune with the user.

In the last dungeon, Ren Shura was shot dead by the Blackwatch team with an automatic rifle. In a sense, Asagiri, as the user of the personality mask, did feel through Ren Shura that he himself was shot and destroyed.

"Then next is the second special training."

Ashikaga Miwa put the black pistol aside and picked up the camouflaged automatic rifle instead. She looked at Asagiri and said nothing.

"Although I personally feel that this special training is meaningless compared to the one we just undertook and is nothing but pure torture for you, since it's your request, I won't say anything more."

Asagiri stepped back a distance and stood about twenty meters away from Ashikaga Miwa again. Then he bent down slightly and replied with a smile.

"Getting used to this kind of torture is the point."

"Ah, high school students nowadays have a serious case of chuunibyou fantasies..."

Looking at Asagiri approaching her at an alarming speed, Ashikaga Miwa raised the automatic rifle in her hand, aimed the gun at the other party, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

But this time, Asagiri did not dodge or evade at all. After all, for a continuous-fire weapon like an automatic rifle with an extremely fast firing rate, it is almost impossible to predict the trajectory of the bullet and dodge it at this distance like he just did.

He simply raised his arms to protect his face, and then took the bullets from the automatic rifle. Under the shocked gaze of Kato Megumi and Yuuki Asuna, he approached Ashikaga Miwa in the distance, step by step.

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

Two hours later.

While cleaning the dojo that was littered with rubber bullet debris, Ashikaga Miwa looked at Yuuki Asuna, Kato Megumi, and Asagiri who had changed into clean clothes and were about to leave, and asked in a calm tone.

"Utsunomiya-san, have you ever considered becoming a fighter?"

"A fighter?"

Asagiri put on a coat, after all, it was still a bit chilly at night in early spring.

"So-called fighting artists, aren't they just wild beasts that the wealthy tycoons spend money to raise for their own amusement, for the fighting competitions they hold? I'm not interested."

Ashikaga Miwa nodded and said lightly.

"Too."

After leaving the dojo, Kato Megumi nodded to Asagiri and Yuuki Asuna and spoke softly and politely.

"Thank you for taking me to special training today. I'll go back first."

"I already told you, no need to be so polite, Kato-kun."

Yuuki Asuna waved her hand and said with a smile.

"Then I will contact you in advance next time we have special training."

"Ok."

Watching Kato Megumi turn and leave, her back gradually disappearing from sight, the sweet smile on Yuuki Asuna's face gradually disappeared. When she turned her head to look at Asagiri, her eyes were filled with deep worry and concern. She wanted to reach out and touch Asagiri's shoulder, but her slender fingertips were trembling like her voice.

"Are you...are you okay?"

"What's your expression?"

Seeing Yuuki Asuna looking worried and a little sad, Asagiri reached out and stroked her long hair, teasing with a smile.

"Looking at you like this, I thought I was dead and you were a widow. It's just special training. Of course I'm fine..."

"Liar."

Asuna Yuuki interrupted softly, then reached out and held Asagiri's wrist, and with the other hand gently pulled up the other's sleeve. What came into view was the blue and purple bruises on Asagiri's arm.

Then she raised her head and looked directly into Asagiri's face, her eyes trembling, looking very moving under the dim street lights.

"Even with your current physical condition, you wouldn't be seriously injured by a rubber bullet, but you would still get bruises like this, and...it would be painful..."

"It does not matter."

Asagiri shook her head nonchalantly and replied in a cheerful tone tinged with laughter.

"With the improvement of my physical fitness and the increased resistance brought by the Shura trait, it won't be long before I have the defense to withstand bullets head-on. So, I need to complete the special training as soon as possible to get used to the feeling of being hit by bullets. The next time I face those enemies on Blackwatch, the special training will show its effectiveness."

Hearing Asagiri's words, Yuuki Asuna pursed her lips, her eyes looked a little dim, and her right hand, which was holding the other person's sleeve, couldn't help but tighten a little.

"You're already thinking about your future and enduring this pain to undergo special training, but I..."

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Asagiri didn't give Yuuki Asuna any chance to feel sorry for herself and interrupted the spell directly.

"You can't think of yourself as useless. During the rookie dungeon, you helped me figure out the hidden rules of this game. During the second dungeon, although I was the one delaying the floating corpse evil spirit's actions, you were the one who destroyed its main body. I couldn't have done it alone. And in the last dungeon, you were the one who cleared out the common infected and the special infected, buying me ample time to recover my strength. In the end, you killed five Blackwatch soldiers. How can you call me useless?"

Seeing that Asagiri had predicted what she wanted to say and spoke without hesitation about all her contributions as a team member, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but feel a little surprised. A blush appeared on her face and she spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"So...it turns out you remember things so clearly, even things I don't remember..."

"of course."

Asagiri said seriously, "As the captain, I must record your KDA. If your KDA doesn't meet the standard, I will fire you~"

Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna was not angry, but just couldn't help laughing.

"So you are such a heartless person. Alas, it's true that when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked."

"Oh, so you are a running dog."

Yuuki Asuna was stunned for a moment by being choked, and then she said angrily with shame.

"You are the running dog!"

Then, Yuuki Asuna seemed to have thought of something, a shy blush appeared on her face, she mustered up the courage to look up at Asagiri, and slowly spoke.

"Last time... in the dungeon... why didn't you ask me about what I promised you? Did you forget?"

What Yuuki Asuna was referring to was what she said to Asagiri last time before leaving the dungeon, that if she returned safely, she would kiss her anywhere except on the cheek.

"Forgot? How could I forget?"

Asagiri replied with a smile at first, then said seriously.

"But, if I bring this up, it's like I'm blackmailing you. It's too low and unnecessary."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna raised her hand to tuck her long hair and whispered.

"Actually... I really hope you'll bring it up..."

Having said that, Yuuki Asuna suddenly took two steps forward, moved closer to Asagiri, closed her eyes silently, and slightly raised her cute and delicate face. The meaning was already very clear.

"If that's the case..."

Asagiri bent down slightly, gently embraced Yuuki Asuna's back, feeling her body trembling slightly due to nervousness, and kissed Yuuki Asuna's lips.

After a few seconds, the two separated.

Asagiri looked at Asuna Yuuki, whose breathing had become uneven, her pretty face flushed, and her eyes sparkled, and smiled softly.
