He held a sickle in one hand, while the other hand was slightly raised, as if some purer power was gathering there.

It's the wind.

"You're already getting cocky at this level? Little one."

Accelerator's left hand exerted force instantly.

However, it wasn't just his arm strength that helped him.

Instead, it manipulated most of the vectors in the surrounding space.

With a whoosh, accompanied by sparks, the scythe deflected the longsword that was stuck in front of it.

Youmu took a half step back in surprise, only to be blocked by a new wave of attacks.

The first element is weathering, which is like a high-speed wind blade.

With just one strike, it can instantly slice steel into thin slices.

Youmu's eyes widened, and without hesitation, she swung her sword, which was much taller than herself, and neutralized the wind blade's attack in one strike.

But what shocked her was only just beginning.

The monster in front of him shot straight toward him.

Seeing the opponent's cannonball-like speed, Youmu tried to move her body. She retreated in a straight line, and then—

Accelerator also attacked this direction at the same speed and scale.

"Varied--?!"

"This guy…!"

Not only Youmu herself, but even Alice standing next to her was surprised.

Youmu's speed was so fast that even Alice, a mage, could hardly react to it.

however.

With such incredible speed, the number one in Academy City kept up with that speed that was considered foul-breaking.

The realm beyond the speed of sound.

Boom! Youmu staggered back, attempting to turn to the left and rear, but the monster wouldn't allow her to do so.

During their attack, the attackers smashed the stairs on the ground next to them.

He kicked one of the bricks, which was made of unknown ingredients, away with a single kick.

Then, its rate of fire instantly exceeded three times the speed of sound.

Faced with that kind of attack from Youmu, the only option was to confront it head-on.

Smoke and dust exploded.

Two figures, having surpassed their limits, stepped into a high-speed battle that could cause the world to wail in despair.

then.

Two figures, pushing beyond their limits, roared together at the same intersection.

Accelerator and Youmu Konpaku.

The two beings, both with white hair, have finally entered a realm of equal scale.

The realm beyond the speed of sound.

boom--! ! !

The impact of the forces caused the surrounding air to explode.

The clash had exceeded the limits of human vision; the only thing that could be captured was a few shadows crisscrossing back and forth in the invisible space.

Click.

At one point, a stiff, broken sound seemed to be heard.

That was the sound of a sword thrusting straight at you being intercepted head-on.

"Watch your step."

The white monster, with an expression of nonchalance, took the fatal blow.

He slightly raised two fingers, and with an extremely calm demeanor, he caught the blade that was thrusting directly at him.

"Observe others' actions carefully before attacking."

The power surged forth instantly from the tips of Accelerator's two fingers.

He manipulated the direction of that unknown energy, causing it to flow back.

On that blade, powerful enough to cut through everything in the world, a lightning-like flow of energy intertwined and crisscrossed.

“Ooooo…!”

Without hesitation, Youmu quickly withdrew her sword.

Even so, it was still too late. By the time all these actions were completed, the white shadow had already completely disappeared from the spot.

The half-human, half-spirit girl immediately turned her head, attempting to block the opponent's movements with a horizontal sword strike.

But the intense pain came from my side waist.

Before anyone knew it, at an undetectable speed, the white figure had already delivered a powerful kick directly to her body.

There was an explosion.

Even though both were moving at the same speed, Youmu Konpaku's body was still sent flying like a cannonball.

The first round of confrontation has now come to an end.

"What's wrong?"

Even Alice, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

What just happened?

'I can't see anything at all...it's like a battle from another world.'

Although she is a mage with powerful magic, her physical strength is still so weak, and Alice cannot rely on magic to make up for these weaknesses.

Accelerator and Youmu Konpaku are both monsters who can directly intervene in the sonic realm using their bodies and strength.

But similarly, only those who have truly entered this field know who is stronger and who is weaker in this situation.

For Accelerator, the girl named Youmu Konpaku vaguely reminded him of someone.

A saint of the Orient Christian religion whom I had only met a few times in the past.

It seems to be called Kamizaki Kasara.

There are many similar behaviors between the two, and their knife-wielding posture and speed are of similar scale.

However, there are also many differences.

'Compared to that guy named Kanzaki, this girl's speed, while fast, feels too unnatural... Is it impossible for her to maintain this high speed consistently?'

Simply put, Youmu Konpaku's speed can only be maintained for a fleeting moment, unlike a saint-level physique like Kanzaki Kasaragi, who can fight at supersonic speeds at their maximum limits throughout.

Youmu, who can only move at supersonic speeds for short periods of time or within a straight line, is still too young.

Compared to Accelerator, which can manipulate all vectors to achieve equal movement speeds, Accelerator seems even less impressive.

However, what he truly cared about was not just this small detail.

The first one glanced at his own legs, seemingly casually.

Just now, that fatal blow did indeed land on the opponent's side waist.

If Accelerator's calculations were correct, he should have instantly manipulated the girl's entire nervous system. Consequently, the girl named Youmu Konpaku would have collapsed a few seconds later and remained unconscious for approximately three days.

pat.

But the girl in front of him stood up again, gripping the long sword tightly in her hand.

Half-human, half-spirit.

She is not simply a human being, but a girl who is half human and half spirit.

In this way, the neural energy manipulation formula that works on normal living beings will naturally not be able to work on her.

In other words, it's no longer possible to perform a foul-breaking instant kill maneuver like completely reversing the flow of blood back to the heart with a single blow.

However, in the end, the first-place team never intended to use such overwhelming power to achieve victory.

"You should be alright, right?"

"It's amazing you still came to worry about me."

"After all, you've reached that level of speed, so I'm no longer going to look at you with the same eyes as an ordinary human."

Taking advantage of the moment when they were locked in a standoff, Alice quickly went to Accelerator's side.

"If the goal is simply to defeat her, after seeing your actions, I have a good idea."

At this moment, the girl named Youmu Konpaku is trying her best to calm herself down.

What just happened...? Someone actually managed to keep up with my speed?

And it's not just about keeping up; it seems... he can maintain that unpredictable high speed even more smoothly.

Even when repairing the flowers and plants in the garden, Youmu usually moves at this speed. However, she can't escape the preparatory movements before moving, and can only move in a straight line briefly, unable to make more precise cornering movements.

This series of actions was accomplished so easily by the human with the same hair color as him.

...Is he really just a human being?

"It was my oversight. It seems that you do indeed possess sufficient strength to protect yourself in this underworld."

"Ha, so in the end it's just about self-preservation? Your eyes and brain don't seem to be working very well."

After hearing Accelerator's mocking words, Youmu couldn't help but frown.

"Then please don't blame me for using my full strength."

“You should have done this a long time ago, you little ghost.”

So the girl took a deep breath and gripped the blade tightly in her hand.

At the same time, she reached for the hilt of another knife at her waist with her other hand.

"Spell Card!"

What was summoned in that instant was the power belonging to the specific rules of Gensokyo.

However, she released it with lightning speed, as if drawing her sword.

"The Prison Realm Sword 'One Flash of Two Hundred Yoru'—!!"

In the instant light and shadow intersected, both swords were drawn.

The long-bladed sword is called the Louguan Sword, a sword forged by a demon that is said to be able to cut through everything in the world.

The short-bladed sword is the Hakuro sword, passed down through generations of the Soul Clan.

That was a divine sword that could easily sever the opponent's confusion with a single strike.

boom--! ! !

It was as if invisible threads had swept across the air itself in one breath.

In that empty space, dozens of enormous white orbs hurtled towards this place in one go.

But the barrage of comments mutated again just as it was about to hit.

Countless tiny cracks covered the huge jade spheres.

Click!

The comments section was cut off.

The massive barrage, with a radius of several meters, transformed in one go into hundreds, even thousands, tiny light projectiles, each as small as a pebble.

The slash, released in an instant, also processed the barrage of attacks.

A barrage of bullets, infused with sword energy and spiritual power, rained down on the two of them one after another.
