In the world of anime and manga, the best partners

However, although Fan Xinglu clearly felt something on her neck, she couldn't reach it no matter what she did... This indescribable feeling immediately sparked unprecedented excitement in the eyes of this immortal who had lived for thousands of years.

However, this excitement was short-lived, as it was interrupted by Sandonne's voice...

"Fan Xinglu, lie down!"

As soon as the sound faded, Fan Xinglu lay down.

It took effect almost instantly upon the issuance of the order.

"Fan Xinglu, roll over!"

Her tiny body rolled up like a spring roll on the white sheets.

"Fan Xinglu, take it off..."

"Wait! What is this? At least let this old woman understand our current situation!"

"Okay then..."

Sandonne raised his right hand, the one holding the chain, and waved it in front of Fan Xinglu with a showy air.

"This is something I developed based on the research of a certain angel. From now on, I am your master~"

"Do you understand?"

"Hey! Don't think I don't know history! I experienced those things firsthand!"

"What kind of angel looks like this? Chains are one thing, but why is there a collar too?"

However, as Sandonne shook the chains in his hand, Fan Xinglu trembled, as if something was about to burst out...

Fan Xinglu subsequently admitted to it.

Life is unpredictable, like a large intestine enclosing a small intestine!

Columbia & Sandoni/Student City: Chapter 60 - The Challenge!

"Since he's the protagonist of this world, his power can't possibly be weak, right? It's truly an honor to be able to fight against someone like him!"

“Having a goal is indeed a good thing, but we must not forget our identity, Ajax… no, Tartaglia. We are the Fools, and we are loyal to Her Majesty the Moon Queen. Even if our identities are not made public, our every action represents the Queen’s will.”

“I understand, Captain!”

The two men walked through the rural landscape. Judging from their appearance, they were clearly not from the Far East. Whenever they crossed a small path, people around them would cast their gazes at them before turning back to their own business.

Clearly, this wasn't the first time the locals had seen foreigners here; after all, this village had a rather special dojo...

Its existence is enough to attract martial artists from all over the Far East, and even from all over the world. Regardless of whether they are from the Star Vein Generation, people will come here.

Because the dojo here is called "Tenki Tatsumei-ryu"!

The protagonist of this game, Battle City, is named Ayato Amagiri!

Without a doubt, this is the protagonist's hometown, and right now, before the story begins, Ayato Amagiri is undoubtedly in this dojo.

The Fools' operation has not yet begun. Although some people have already started to act, the captain and the young master who left the floating city are exceptions, because their purpose for this trip is to challenge the strong here.

However, after learning of their ideas, Sandonne naturally did not stop them, but instead began his own calculations.

Ayato Amagiri is the protagonist of this world. If the original story continues, he will travel to the floating city a few months later and join Seidoukan Academy in order to find his older sister, Haruka Amagiri.

He joined Seidokan Academy because of Claudia's invitation, but what about now? Will Claudia invite him again?

The answer is yes!

Sandone had already confirmed with Claudia about Ayato Amagiri's situation; she had already invited him, and he would be enrolling next year.

So, before enrolling, while the young master was interested in this guy, Sandonne didn't mind making a lasting impression on him...

Anyway, she doesn't have much time left in this world, so doing something to the protagonist won't affect the future course of this world.

Tengoru Tatsumei-ryu Dojo.

"Ahhh—!" xN

Countless young voices emanated from the wooden Japanese-style gate, clearly indicating that the dojo students were training.

Most of these people were children, and quite young at that. Only one purple-haired boy looked to be over fifteen years old; that was Ayato Amagiri.

At this moment, Ayato, like all the other students, was dressed in Japanese clothing, holding a Japanese wooden sword, and practicing swordsmanship.

But at some point, Ayato seemed to sense something, suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked at the dojo's gate, and his expression gradually became serious.

In his perception, a remarkable expert seemed to have arrived outside the door, perhaps even someone comparable to himself!

"Ayato, why did you stop?"

Ayato Amagiri's father, Masatsugu Amagiri, frowned the moment he saw Ayato stop and came to the boy's side to ask what was wrong.

Although his relationship with his son wasn't good, he still knew what kind of person his son was.

Since Ayato suddenly stopped, something must have happened, after all, Ayato is a member of the Star Pulse Generation!

As Ayato's father, he was just an ordinary person. No matter how much he trained his skills, he could never surpass his son from the Star Pulse generation... Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the father and son had a bad relationship?

"Father, someone has arrived, and their strength... is very strong!"

Ayato's solemn expression naturally caught the eye of Masatsugu Amagiri, making the middle-aged man's expression even more serious.

"Who is outside? Why have they come to our 'Tenguri Tatsumei-ryu' dojo?"

These words didn't register with ordinary people, but Ayato and the children with Star Power immediately sensed a massive energy gathering outside the door, about to explode...

Bang!

The massive wooden door collapsed like dominoes, leaving nothing but a wisp of dust in its wake. This precise control made Ayato's expression grow even more serious.

Two men who didn't look like they were from the Far East walked in through the gate.

"Who we are is not important, what's important is... we're here to challenge them!"

The young master stepped forward, his burning gaze sweeping over every face present. Most people dared not meet his eyes, as they were mostly children who had never seen such a person before.

Aside from that father and son from the misty sky…

"So they really came?"

Masatsugu Amagiri wasn't surprised, because for some time now, two people had been coming to challenge dojos all over the Far East...

In the end, those two people won a great victory!

If nothing unexpected happens, these are the two in front of us, right?

However, Ayato's expression was very strange.

He had only sensed one person outside, so why were there two people inside? Could one of them be an ordinary person? Ayato was very puzzled.

"Since they're here to challenge us, that makes things easier."

Following Amagiri Masatsugu's instructions, all the students were given early leave and returned home, leaving only the captain, the young master, and the Amagiri father and son behind at the dojo.

"I thought you guys were going to start fighting right then and there, completely disregarding the students..."

Masatsugu Amagiri's expression was somewhat complicated. Although these two people had come to challenge the dojo, their methods didn't seem as bad as he had imagined. On the contrary, they even seemed to carry a hint of...righteousness?

In short, it's very strange!

"We will compensate for Tartaglia's damage to the gate... Mere destruction was not our intention." The speaker was the man whose face was obscured, who was also the captain of the Fatui.

"Our goal is simply to challenge the strong; we have no intention of destroying the dojo. Therefore, sending those students back is the best decision."

"So, I hope you can show your true skills when you fight later."

"That's natural..."

After a brief exchange, Ayato Amagiri decided to take a step forward and fight the extremely imposing man before him.

Although there was a high probability that he was no match for the other party, the other party did not seem to be a bad person... However, before he could take a step, his father's hand blocked his way.

"Ayato, let me do it."

The middle-aged man stared intently into the distance. Although he couldn't see the eyes beneath the mask, Amagiri Masatsugu could tell that the other man was a true powerhouse, and his purpose was certainly not to fight a child like Ayato…

So, let me do it myself!

“The Heavenly Mist flows with the Morning Light, the Heavenly Mist is the True Successor.”

Holding his sword in both hands, Masatsugu Amagiri stared intently at the man in the distance, raising his vigilance to the maximum.

The man casually picked up the wooden sword from the ground, his aura gradually receding...

"You are not from the Star Pulse Generation, and realistically speaking, you are no match for me. But a contest of skill is also one of my objectives... I hope you will give it your all!"

"Black Serpent Sword Technique, Capitano!"

Columbia & Sandoni/Academy City: Chapter 61 D'Artagnan VS Ayato Amagiri

Ding--!

The clash of swords echoed through the dojo as Amagiri Masatsugu, the dojo master of the Amagiri Tatsumei-ryu style, charged toward the man who called himself Capitano at incredible speed.

The Legend of Tianwu Chenming: The Hollow Shell!

He suddenly swung his waist upwards, then slashed down with incredible speed—a powerful strike with a completely opposite trajectory.

However, in Capitano's eyes, such a simple move could hardly be called a sword technique... Even without using any skills, Capitano still easily blocked the attack in front of him by relying on his muscle memory.

Tengogure Tatsumei-ryu no Chuden: Nine-Toothed Sword!

When his first attack failed, Amagiri Masatsugu immediately changed his attack method, intending to use swift slashes to constantly harass his opponent while concealing his true attack within them.

However, the situation was the same as before, and Capitano easily countered his moves.

The captain of the Fatui, although not the original, was able to do the same thing easily after being injected with similar memories by Columbia.

Despite his short lifespan, the power of time has been enough to overcome everything, giving Capitano incredibly sophisticated combat skills, even more so than the combat experience accumulated by middle-aged man Masatsugu Amagiri!

Even though Masatsugu Amagiri used the sword techniques of the Amagiri Tatsumei-ryu school, he couldn't last five minutes against Capitano.

This is the difference between the Star Pulse Generation and ordinary people. Even if these superhumans with extraordinary physical abilities do not use these abilities, they are still far stronger than ordinary people.

Unless one possesses extremely refined skills, it is impossible to defeat him!

In the original work, Masatsugu Amagiri seems to have suppressed Kirin Toudou, one of the heroines, through his superior skills.

At that time, Kirin Toudou was just a little girl of about 14 years old. It was only because Masatsugu Amagiri was not a member of the Star Pulse Generation that he would have been labeled as a bully of a child.

Ding!

The captain seemed to think the time was up, so he knocked the wooden katana from Amagiri Masatsugu's hand, and the cold tip of the sword was pressed against Amagiri Masatsugu's neck.

All of this suggests that Capitano could easily behead the man in front of him with just a little effort.

The fact that Kanria's Black Serpent Swordsmanship stands out from a large number of sword techniques naturally demonstrates its superiority.

But how can the profound heritage of an ancient country be compared to that of a mere martial arts school?

The Tengu Tatsumei-ryu style does indeed possess unique techniques, making it easy for them to dominate this region. However, if compared to the entire world, it is actually only a slightly above-average technique, not even reaching the top tier.

Especially against someone like the captain, every flaw in a technique will be magnified until the opponent is defeated and killed...

However, Capitano currently has no intention of killing Amagiri Masatsugu. Although this would indeed provoke Amagiri Ayato, it would pose a potential threat to the Fatui.

After all, Sandone had made it clear that once she and Columbia left this world, the remaining Fools would be completely free!

After that, they can't interfere with what I want to do anymore.

Therefore, Capitano couldn't help but recall the old saying from Liyue: "Leave a way out for others, so that you can meet again later."

"Not bad. I can tell you've put a lot of effort into honing your swordsmanship... It's a pity you're not from the Star Pulse Generation, otherwise our battle would have been even more intense!"

Despite the fact that his opponent was defeated by him, Capitano showed no sign of mockery, for he was the captain of the Fools, a man of honor.

However, these words seemed so condescending to Amagiri Masatsugu... To those in lower positions, every action of those in higher positions is a mockery!

"Now that the captain has finished, it's my turn, right?"

D'Artagnan appeared before Masatsugu Amagiri with an excited smile. He looked so sunny, but this only made Masatsugu Amagiri feel more unhappy.

The two people in front of him were both powerful. If they were to be completely enraged, Amagiri Masatsugu could foresee what kind of blow the Amagiri Tatsumi-ryu dojo would suffer.

When the Star Pulse Generation emerged, the world's power structure underwent a new reshuffle. Unfortunately, Masatsugu Amagiri wasn't very lucky; he married a Star Pulse Generation member, but he himself wasn't...
