In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

It seems they've gotten into a fight over something inexplicable?

Dark circles under the eyes are caused by this.

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 24 Why is the teacher here?

"Finally, it's a holiday! I can finally get some rest these days!"

Since Ikki, Stella, Shizuku, and Arisuin became disciples of the Kagami-ryu and Skirk schools, the relationship between the four has improved rapidly. Even outside of class time, the four of them can still play together.

With the arrival of the weekend, school classes and the selection for the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival have temporarily come to an end. Students who have been busy with textbook knowledge and combat skills can finally have their own rest time.

"Speaking of which, I've been in the Far East for so long now, and I don't think I've ever gone shopping here. Kazuki, could you recommend some shopping malls to me?"

As a princess of a country, Stella naturally doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but now that she's in another country, how can she not experience the beauty of this foreign land? Even a shopping mall would be nice!

But Stella seems to have overlooked one thing…

"Ah, this... I'm sorry! I don't know either!"

Since entering the Hagun Academy, Ikki Kurogane has never been happy. He's either being treated coldly by others or training alone, and on top of that...

How could a man living alone possibly remember places like shopping malls? Let alone recommend them to others!

"There's no other way, let them handle it!"

"Although I haven't been at Po Jun Academy for very long, I've been here several times recently, so I know where there are some good shops!"

In the end, Nagi Arisuin stepped forward and led the other three to the shopping mall closest to Hagun Academy.

However, what should have been a relaxing day was interrupted by inexplicable gunfire...

Da da da—!

The sudden gunshots immediately echoed throughout the mall, causing panic among everyone inside.

"No way, a robbery?"

"And they were armed?"

The shopping mall was inexplicably attacked, immediately making everyone's expressions serious.

You should know that there are superpowered individuals in this world called "Bladebreakers". How could ordinary criminals rob a shopping mall so openly?

Either they have someone to rely on, or there is someone among these people who is skilled in combat!

"Let's hide and observe the situation... and see if we can help later."

The four of them, including Ikki, were on a relatively high floor, and since they were all Blade Masters, they were able to easily avoid ordinary people with guns while observing the situation in the mall.

As expected, the criminals gathered all the hostages in the lobby on the first floor of the mall, which could be seen from the upper floors.

But even knowing all this, Ikki and the others still had no way...

Although they were sword-wielders with strength beyond the reach of ordinary people, the number of criminals was also quite large, at least thirty.

Even if Ikki and the others do their best, they won't be able to save everyone from the thirty armed men; something unexpected is bound to happen.

Furthermore, student swordsmen like them cannot freely use their abilities in the outside world, otherwise they will certainly be punished by the League.

"Damn it! Those guys only take women and children hostage!"

"Those who know how to do this have definitely not been robbed before; their methods are very skilled!"

Stella and Shizuku continued to observe the situation below, and upon discovering what they had done, they immediately clenched their fists, their faces filled with anger.

“I’ve already called the chairperson, and she said the police are making arrangements, but there aren’t many people available to mobilize in this area.”

"So, the chairman has granted the four of us access, allowing us to use our abilities in public!"

Just now, Ikki also called Chairman Kurono and obtained the permission to become a Blade Master from her.

If there is any unusual activity below, the four of them can react immediately and do their best to protect the hostages.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.

The best-case scenario is that the matter can be resolved smoothly through negotiations without any casualties.

Just as Stella and her companions were hiding on high ground, a criminal suddenly widened his eyes as if he had seen something.

"Oh, look what I've found!"

"To see someone like this in this small shopping mall is incredibly lucky!"

The sudden sound reached not only the ears of the hostages and criminals, but also the four people on the upper floors, including Ikki, who looked over.

"This is terrible! They're about to attack the hostages! We..."

"No, we can't act now. Those people haven't fired a shot yet, and the hostages aren't in immediate danger. If they discover our presence, things will only get worse... Wait!"

"Huh? Who is that person?"

Stella and the others, who had been panicking because the hostages were about to be captured by the criminal, immediately changed their expressions after seeing the figure the criminal was pointing at.

The figure in their line of sight was all too familiar to the four of them!

But the criminal didn't know that!

Hey! You over there with the white hair, get out of the crowd right now!

"Being chosen by this great master is your honor!"

"If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands! I don't know anything about chivalry or anything like that, haha!"

All eyes turned to where the criminal was pointing, and even the other armed robbers became interested.

"Hey! Really?"

"Are there any other people in the world this beautiful?"

The robbers exclaimed in admiration, and even some of the female hostages covered their mouths in surprise.

Because that person is just too outstanding!

Her clean, translucent white hair covered the mountaintop like freshly fallen snow. As the gaze moved downwards, the first thing that caught the eye was her alluring crimson pupils.

The deep red was captivating, both cold and alluring.

It is both unique and dazzling.

This cold yet vibrant feeling makes you feel unapproachable just by looking at it; the whole person seems to be covered in an ethereal aura.

But now, this beautiful woman has appeared in the mall and has been captured by this group of people!

"Brothers, today is absolutely our lucky day!"

"If I could spend a night with someone like that, I'd be willing to live ten years longer!"

As the figure slowly rose from the crowd, the criminals chuckled and glared at her with ill intent.

"Ugh!"

A helpless sigh escaped the woman's lips. She crossed her arms and gazed indifferently at the criminals in the distance.

"I just came to buy clothes, and I'm really unlucky."

Upon recognizing the figure, Ikki and the others' expressions immediately changed.

"Isn't this Ms. Silky Kirk?"

Why is the teacher here?

"Those robbers were far too 'lucky,' weren't they?"

Mirror Stream & Silky Knight: Chapter 25 The Unlucky Robber

Just as Kurogane Ikki and the others said, these robbers were incredibly lucky.

They could rob anyone, even a woodcutter, and have a good chance of succeeding, since not all woodcutters can withstand gunfire.

But as luck would have it, the person standing in front of these robbers was not a Blade Master at all, but an existence from beyond the stars.

For them, even if they used the power of an entire world, they were unsure whether they could cause any harm, let alone conventional human weapons.

In the world of Genshin Impact, elemental forces exist, which can be used to imbue attacks with various elements, making it necessary to dodge.

Within the Starry Sky Railway lies the energy of destiny, and even high-tech weapons are specially made. If you are unaware of this, it's best not to get hit.

But what about the world of the failed knight?

The Bladebreakers may possess various powerful abilities capable of destroying the world, but that doesn't change how ordinary the conventional weapons of this world are.

Firearms and cannons may still be effective against ordinary people and weaker swordsmen, but they are ultimately insufficient against truly powerful individuals.

In the eyes of Ikki and the others, Skoker is an absolute powerhouse!

During this period of training, even when Ikki and Arisuin worked together, it was difficult to get Kagami to use his true power. What about the other side?

Ikki also inquired about the situation on the other side, and it was indeed as he had suspected…

one hand!

That's right, only one hand!

Skirk's strength far exceeded their expectations. With just one sword in hand, she was able to deal with both Stella and Shizuku at the same time, and it seemed to be quite easy for her.

This was met with strong dissatisfaction from the two girls, who demanded that Skylar use her true power to fight them.

But what did Skylark say?

"If I were to fight you with my bare hands, the battle would probably end in an instant, and it wouldn't achieve the desired training effect at all."

"So in order to be able to truly fight me, and for the sake of improving your own strength, practice your swords diligently (in training)!"

Look, even with two top-tier magic knights attacking together, and even an A-rank knight, they still couldn't get Skyker to fight with both hands!

How could such a disparity in strength be resolved by a mere armed robber like you?

You're lucky if you don't get cut in half!

—

Let's go back to the present.

"Huh? What are you doing out here? What's it to me?"

"Well, you're already here, so you can't escape today. Let me have my fun first, and then the brothers can have their turn!"

The armed robber paid no attention to the stares of those around him, staring intently at Skylark's magnificent face, as if he were about to be captivated by it.

But in reality, he has not only fallen into depravity, but is even planning to take some action.

Boom boom boom!

The man walked with heavy steps, moving at the fastest speed he had ever seen, and reached out to grab at her clothes.

So what if it's in public?

I want everyone to see my prowess!

Not only the man in charge, but even the masked henchmen around him showed lecherous expressions, anticipating what would happen next.

However, all of the man's actions were seen as foolish by Ikki and the others on the rooftop.

If the four of them had any thoughts at this moment, it would probably only be those two words…

Finished!

From the robber's perspective, he was not far from Skykirk; he could easily catch her in just a few steps.

But as I walked, my gaze suddenly shifted downwards, as if I had suddenly become shorter.

Why is that?

As the man's gaze slowly moved downwards, what came into view were two thighs oozing blood... The knees and below were long gone!

Along with this horrific scene came unprecedented pain!

"Aaaaaah—! My feet! My feet!"

"Damn it! She's a Bladebreaker! Brothers, attack!"
