The story we started

"Ah? You're putting me in a difficult position, Xiang-kun. After all, I haven't even graduated from high school yet, and I don't even have a doctorate degree. I can't be as good as my future self, right? And... "

With an =w= expression, Hina Ebina looked at her former secret admirer innocently, pushed her reflective glasses on her face, and seemed to be hesitant to say something at the end.

"Could you please be a little more self-aware, Tobe-san?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the light curtain without turning her head once and spoke in a neutral voice.

"Huh? What do you mean, Yukinoshita!"

"Yukinoshita, please don't speak too harshly."

Even someone as simple-minded as Tobe Sho could hear the sarcasm in Yukinoshita Yukino's tone. His expression changed from yearning to displeasure, and Miura Yumiko, his boss, couldn't help but frown and look over at him.

"Need I explain this more clearly? That's you—"

"You can't wear this armor, Hubu."

Before Yukinoshita Yukino could continue her sarcasm, Hikigaya Hachiman took the initiative to state the truth, defusing a possible conflict.

"What do you mean? Hikio?"

"literal meaning."

Hikigaya didn't care that he called his name wrong again. He tilted his head and pointed at the scene on the screen with his chin.

"If you look at the shape of this armor more carefully, you should be able to understand it, right? What was this weapon based on? What kind of expectations did the designer Ebina place on this go?"

"Hmm? Didn't Himena design this armor just for..."

Tobe Sho looked at his own light screen again in confusion. The more he looked, the quieter his voice became. Finally, he understood Hikigaya's meaning completely and fell silent.

[“The armor you are wearing looks like…”]

[But what surprised Zaimokuza was not why Kousaka Kyousuke was wearing this go. When he saw the five-petal chrysanthemum emblem on the shoulder of this armor, he already knew the origin of this weapon. ]

[What really surprised him was the shape of this go, it looked exactly like——]

[“You are——Kuuga!?”]

[A question of doubt came from behind Kousaka Kyousuke, his voice full of disbelief.]

[“How is it possible!? How can there be two Kuuga??? Isn’t the other one already——Who are you?!”]

[The two looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Biran, who was still emitting smoke, had stood up from the ground and was staring at them intently. To be more precise, his gaze was completely focused on Kousaka Kyousuke.]

【And what it said was what surprised Zaimokuza, because this armor was too similar to his transformed Kuuga. Even though the color was different and the artificial mechanical texture was very obvious, it looked very similar to the red all-mighty form.】

[The facial features of the helmet are completely copied from Kuuga's, especially the pair of red compound eyes that also have insect characteristics, which are almost indistinguishable from Zaimokuza himself.]

[“This is a weapon that Miss Ebina created based on your previous battle data. It’s called Gulkiller. You can also call it Go.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke watched the Biran standing up, his eyes narrowed slightly under the helmet, and he held up the G-series composite weapon Hunter in his hands, grasped the handle under the thick barrel and turned it hard. ]

[After the mechanism made a click, the sniper rifle was separated into a barrel and a pistol.]

【"Hina?"】

[“We’ll explain the details later. There’s only one thing we need to do now.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke said this calmly while buckling the disassembled gun barrel onto the left buckle of the mechanical belt around his waist. He held the short gun called Machine Chaser in his right hand and raised it forward, aiming the muzzle at Biran.]

[The detector on the helmet automatically starts transmitting information when it detects the Piranha Gurongi in front of it. The computer in the main control room far away at the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters calculates the data, and then displays the calculated data in simple and easy-to-understand numbers through radio waves in the built-in field of view of Kousaka Kyosuke's helmet.]

[Looking at the enemy information displayed in front of him, a cold light flashed in Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes, and his voice was as sharp as a blade being unsheathed. ]

【“——that is to send this damn invasive fish back to where it belongs.”】

[“I understand. Then let me——”]

[“No, this is not your mission.”]

【"well?"】

[When Zaimokuza was about to suggest the usual "I shield, you stab" fighting method, Kousaka Kyousuke interrupted him.]

[Go's compound eyes looked up at the girls who were standing up on the river bank not far away, supporting each other. The vision stretching function in the helmet allowed Kousaka Kyosuke to clearly see the dusty faces of the light music club members and their clothes were torn after being caught in the explosion.]

[“Oh wow? I didn’t expect that girl with long black hair is so sexy at such a young age? She’s even prettier than snow——Hey hey hey!? Kousaka-kun, don’t turn your head! I want to admire her for a while longer!”]

【“——”】

[When the naked eye was about to see some indecent beauty through the high-definition camera, Kousaka Kyosuke consciously shifted his sight back to the ferocious piranha Gurongi in front of him, ignored the teasing of Ebina Hime in the communicator beside his ear, and spoke to the stunned Zaimokuza without turning his head. ]

[“Your mission is to go over there and protect those girls. Then pay attention to my signals at any time and accumulate strength to prepare for the fatal attack.”]

[“As for number 23, leave it to me alone.”]

[“What—are you kidding me? Mr. Kousaka!”]

[Before Zaimokuza could finish his surprised words, Kousaka Kyousuke had already picked up his weapon and walked towards Biran. The sound of his footsteps was steady and quiet.]

[“Tsk! I don’t know what you are, but it looks like you want to fight me, right? Then I’ll grant your wish of seeking death!”]

[Seeing the mysterious warrior who looked very similar to the old enemy of the clan, Kuuga, walking towards him at a leisurely pace, Biran, whose thoughts were in a mess, simply chose to give up thinking, and followed the belligerent nature of Gurongi, sneered and raised his right arm, and the arm blade facing Kousaka Kyousuke's neck flashed a cold edge in the sun. ]

[“Being my enemy is the biggest mistake of your life! Unknown warrior!”]

[After saying this, Biran rushed towards Kousaka Kyousuke, dragging the fierce blade with the remaining blade light.]

[“This is too much! That guy is very strong! You, Mr. Kousaka, are alone…”]

[Seeing that Kousaka Kyousuke really intended to fight the powerful and ferocious No. 23 alone, Zaimokuza immediately wanted to stand up and rush over to help with the Titan Sword in hand. ]

[But he stopped right after taking a step, and stood there motionless as if petrified.]

[“…You must be kidding, right?”]

[He muttered to himself, his voice filled with dullness and trance.]

[——Everything that happened before his eyes completely shattered his long-held impression of Kousaka Kyousuke.]

26. Powerful 5-in- K

[How strong is Kousaka Kyosuke? ]

[If this question is too general and abstract, then let's change it to a more detailed question - what is Kousaka Kyousuke's best skill? ]

[Almost 99% of people who know him will give a common answer without hesitation after hearing this question:]

【"shooting!"】

[Only in terms of firearms shooting, Kousaka Kyosuke is recognized by everyone as being strong. 700txt.com]

[Apart from his experience in the police academy, since the first day he got his own gun after joining the job, Kosaka Kyosuke has been honing his use of firearms. From the initial awkwardness of not even being able to pull the safety button to the current maturity of being able to use it with ease, Kosaka Kyosuke's shooting skills have been rigorously honed and practiced as he handles cases.]

[But within just a few years, Kousaka Kyosuke's marksmanship became recognized as the best among all the police officers in Nagano Prefecture. Even other prefectures have heard of his accurate marksmanship. They all heard that a potential new star with superb marksmanship has appeared in the Nagano Prefecture Police Headquarters.]

[According to rumors circulating among fans, every time when training for shooting, Kousaka Kyosuke never made any bullet holes on the target except the tenth ring. He could draw his gun so fast that when investigating a case, just before the criminal was about to pull the trigger, he could pull out the pistol from his waist holster at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye and accurately shoot away the opponent's tightly held pistol ten meters away, completely eliminating the criminal's weapons and abilities to commit crimes before anyone could react.]

[The fastest shooting record left by Kyosuke Kosaka during the pre-war training of the anti-terrorism exercise conducted by the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters and other prefectural police stations is:]

【0.0167 seconds. 】

[Before this, the world record for the fastest gun draw was set by an American policeman named Bob Monden. He was able to fire two shots before an ordinary person could blink. Because the speed of the gunshot was so fast, the sound of the gunshot heard by human ears was often the overlapping sound of two shots. He was called "the fastest gunman in history" and his extreme shooting record was 0.0175 seconds.]

[——Kousaka Kyosuke's shooting speed is 0.0008 seconds faster than his! ]

[That is to say, if that was not a drill but a Guinness World Records event, then Bob Munden's title of "the fastest shooter in history" would have been transferred to Kousaka Kyosuke. The new record he set was enough to make all the later comers look up to him, and the calculator who saw the data recorded by the instrument at that time almost suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. In the end, he could only ignore it as an error caused by the long-term disrepair of the instrument.]

[After that day, Kousaka Kyosuke became the nightmare of all the police officers who played the gangsters in the opposite police station.]

【According to many police officers who played the gangsters at the time, when they raised their guns to shoot at Kousaka Kyosuke who appeared in their field of vision, they seemed to see a flash of light like a meteor before their eyes, and then a cloud of white mist burst out from the heart area and other parts of the left chest of their bulletproof vests. Then, they fell backwards to the ground in the subsequent gunshot and impact, staring at the blue sky in front of them with confused eyes, and had no reaction to what happened.】

[Because this experience was so bizarre and outrageous, many police officers even suspected that in addition to Kosaka Kyosuke, they were actually shot by a sniper. Therefore, after the exercise, they strongly petitioned their superiors to let them check the surveillance video of the section of the road where they encountered Kosaka Kyosuke, in order to find the person who shot them and settle the score with him. ]

[But it would have been better if they hadn't seen it. After seeing it, all the police officers felt a chill run through their bodies, and every hair on their bodies stood up.]

[The assassin, Lao Liu, was not found, but the police officers finally understood that Kousaka Kyosuke was an out-and-out monster.]

[After slowing down the speed of one of the encounter videos to the maximum speed that the machine can reach, all the police saw that in the video screen, everything seemed to be still. In the world, Kousaka Kyosuke raised his revolver at a speed that was almost the same as usual. He did not even fully focus his eyes on the "gangster" and fired three shots with a calm expression, and each shot hit the exercise personnel standing in the right direction.]

[Two shots hit the heart, and one shot hit the thigh, but the policeman heard only one gunshot at the time - because the three shots were fired at the same time.]

[Since that day, Kousaka Kyousuke has been included in the blacklist of all police stations for anti-terrorism exercises, and the Nagano Prefectural Police Department has been forced to agree that unless it is a large-scale anti-terrorism special training, they will never be the first to deploy Kousaka Kyousuke. ]

[But it is precisely because Kousaka Kyosuke's achievements in shooting are so outstanding that when people mention him, they think of the term "sharpshooter". People will subconsciously ignore Kousaka Kyosuke's other achievements because they only see his shooting skills. ]

[That is——hand-to-hand combat. ]

[“Wow… so amazing.”]

[Looking at everything that happened in front of him, although Zaimokuza's transformed face could not show any emotions, just by listening to his voice, others could tell how shocked he was at the moment. ]

[“Puff!”]

[Biran lay on the ground with his head down, and his whole body paddled a long distance on the river bank in the posture of a dog chewing mud.]

【“Damn it!?”】

[Biran stood up and turned around in frustration, and saw Kousaka Kyousuke standing there, retracting his right leg that he had just kicked out. ]

[Kousaka Kyosuke did not move from where he was standing just now. He just moved his feet to the right, and then his body turned sideways to avoid the blade that Biran chopped down. Then he kicked Biran in the waist, and kicked Biran directly out.]

[“…It’s just a fake Kuuga! How dare you look down on me like this!?”]

【Looking at the look that Kousaka Kyosuke turned his head and squinted at after he retracted his feet, Biran felt as if he could see the pair of eyes full of indifference and disdain behind him through those red mechanical compound eyes.】

[Crack--]

[Biran suddenly felt as if a nerve was snapping deep in his brain, and then incomparable shame and anger hit his heart, causing his strong body to tremble slightly.]

[Because this was not the first time. In the short battle just now, none of its attacks could hit Kousaka Kyosuke. Every time, he dodged sideways and kicked it in the waist, and even the position of the kick did not change.]

[Contempt, this behavior is undoubtedly naked contempt. ]

[This familiar feeling of contempt even reminded Biran of what happened a long time ago when he first met the players of the 'GO' group after he was promoted from 'Zu' to 'Me'. ]

[At that time, I felt the disdain and contempt in those guys' eyes, so I challenged them out of my inner indignation and anger.]

[…and what happened afterwards will be something Biran will never forget.]

[——"It's too weak. Your blade can't even cut my skin."]

[The pitch-black meteor hammer turned back into its original ornament in the opponent's hand. The GO Group's Gurongi, who looked very similar to a turtle, looked at the dying Biran who was hit into the wall by him, and laughed at him mercilessly.]

[——"A loser like you will never be able to become a 'go' like me."]

【Shame, unparalleled shame.】

[Every time he thought of the disastrous defeat at that time, and the ridicule and sarcasm of that "go", the feeling of humiliation would crawl through Biran's brain like a raging poisonous snake, stimulating the murderous intent and hatred in his heart to continue to rise. ]

[And now, Biran experienced this feeling again from Kousaka Kyousuke, the only difference is that one said and did, while the other did without saying. ]

[——Obviously——Obviously I am no longer the same person I was before! I have become stronger! I have become stronger after obtaining the power of 'Him', the power that represents the 'ultimate'!]

[——But why, whether it’s Rindo or Gurongi, you two——why do you look down on me!? Why!!!]

[The stimulated Biran's murderous intent towards Kousaka Kyousuke instantly reached its peak, even surpassing his years of obsession with completing the game and becoming "GO" and seeking revenge on the Gurongi who had humiliated him.]

[“——I will make you pay for your arrogance, damn Linduo!!!”]

【Wow——】

[The blue water rushed up from the bottom of the feet and wrapped around the roaring biran's body. Then, as it stepped heavily on the concrete river bank, its body and the water turned into a cannonball in the broken gravel and rushed towards Kousaka Kyosuke.]

【"go to hell!"】

[Amid a roar that shook the entire riverbank, Biran rushed towards Kousaka Kyosuke and swung his right arm at him. The arm blade that cut through the air slashed towards the opponent's neck with a piercing hiss, vowing to behead Kousaka Kyosuke with one blow! ]

【“——”】

[Kousaka Kyosuke looked at the ferocious and terrifying blue "cannonball" coming towards him. The water flow flipped all the concrete tiles along the way to the sides. The face behind the mask did not change any emotion. He was still as calm as before, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes.]

[He just stood there without making any movement, quietly watching the biran rushing towards him like a flash of lightning. Just before the cold blade was about to chop him down, he stepped back with his right foot and bent his body.]

[The moment Kousaka Kyosuke lowered his head, the sharp blade cut through the space where his head was originally, and the air that was cut open rang out with a shrill scream like that of a demon.]

[He stood still without moving, and with the smallest movement he dodged the attack by a hair's breadth, thus avoiding a fatal disaster.]

【"What!?"】

[Biran roared in disbelief after seeing this scene, and looked down in shock and anger at Kousaka Kyosuke who was squatting in front of him.]

[“You…are full of flaws.”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke lowered his head, and a calm voice reached its ears through the loudspeaker of the helmet.]
