The story we started

[“You——Puwa!”]

【boom--! ! ! 】

[Before Biran could finish his words, a violent impact came from his jaw and forced him to turn all the remaining words into a painful whimper.]

[Just as Biran was speaking, the armor on the bottom of Kousaka Kyosuke's right foot, which was half-crouching on the ground with his knees bent, suddenly spurted out a fierce flame. The spurting flames were converted into powerful potential energy, driving his right foot to rise rapidly, and a knee strike hit its lower jaw fiercely. ]

[This attack completely deformed Biran's forward movement, and his entire body was knocked back by the knee, causing his head to tilt upwards! ]

[“Uh-huh——”]

【Kara.】

[The violent impact went straight through his jaw to his brain. When he clearly heard the sound of bones cracking in his jaw, Biran felt his mind go blank and his soul seemed to be shaken out of his body.]

[Just as Biran was about to soar into the sky due to the impact on his chin, a hand wrapped in armor grasped his right foot.]

[Biran's eyes moved downward in a trance, and he saw from the corner of his eye that the Linduo warrior put down his right leg, put his left hand at his waist in a posture ready to punch, and clenched his hand wrapped in armor into a fist, and the fist shone with a metallic light under the light.]

【boom--! ! ! 】

[The jet nozzle at the elbow of his left arm also spurted out blue flames, driving Kousaka Kyosuke's fist to hit Biran's abdomen, whose ankles were grabbed by him. This blow even broke the speed of sound and produced a white sound barrier at the front of the fist! ]

[This punch hit Biran's muscular abdomen hard, and the terrifying force penetrated into its body through the fist, and passed through its body and turned into a white shock wave that exploded on its back! ]

[Biran's body was directly punched into a "?" shape by Kousaka Kyosuke's punch, and then was blown far away by the powerful punch, crashing into the base under Takahashi! ]

[Its body flew backwards and crashed heavily into the bridge's pillars, embedding itself deeply in the rubble. The bridge seemed to tremble for a moment when it was hit.]

【call out.】

[The nozzles at the elbows of the armor gradually stopped emitting flames. His fists were heated by the friction with the air and a faint white mist rose up. From a distance, it looked like a steamed bun that had just been taken out of the steamer.]

【“…”】

[Under Zaimokuza's dumbfounded gaze from afar, Kousaka Kyousuke slowly retracted his punch. ]

[“That armored man who looks very similar to No. 4, he is so, so awesome…”]

【"Um……"】

[Several girls from the light music club who were standing up on the riverbank also saw this scene. Tianzhong Ritsu said with a blank expression. Akiyama Mio and Hirasawa Yui who were standing next to her could only nod in the same blank expression. It was obvious that they were all shocked by the fighting power displayed by Kousaka Kyosuke.]

[Because this scene doesn't look like a fight of the same level at all, it just looks like a boxer is torturing a naughty child, beating the naughty child so hard that he can only continue to be beaten helplessly.]

[Many people actually overlook one thing, that is, although shooting is Kousaka Kyosuke's strongest skill, it does not mean that his other skills cannot be comparable to it. ]

[His other specialty, comparable to shooting, is close combat.]

[And whether it's cold weapons or bare-handed combat, Kousaka Kyousuke has dabbled in both. ]

[According to a fanatical fan of Kosaka Kyosuke named Kameyama, Officer Kosaka has won the championship of the Kendo exchange competition held within the police station three times, and each time he knocked the opponent to the ground within ten seconds of the start of the competition. Each of his chops was so powerful that the wrists of the people sparring with him were paralyzed and they could hardly even hold the bamboo sword.]

[In addition, Kousaka Kyousuke himself has obtained the "Menkyo Kaiden" of at least two kendo schools, the "Kirishi" of three schools, and the belt certificate of the first-level belt seventh degree, that is, the black belt in karate, taekwondo, judo and other martial arts. ]

【According to the chief instructor who once taught him martial arts in the police force, aside from his ability to kill his enemy as the highest goal, in terms of martial arts alone, Kousaka Kyosuke has actually reached the highest realm that countless martial artists pursue, that is, the "state of no self."】

[So he has never been the kind of extremely biased warrior who has put all his talents into shooting. On the contrary, Kousaka Kyosuke is the kind of all-around warrior who has cultivated all his abilities to a bottleneck, and has broken through with efforts and tenacious will beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and has improved all the skills he has mastered to an equal "average" level. He is truly an existence with no weaknesses in combat! ]

[The reason why Kousaka Kyosuke had never had the opportunity to show his superb attainments in karate combat in the battles with the unconfirmed life forms before was because the gap between him and the unconfirmed life forms in terms of physical fitness, the most basic hardware, was too great, to the point where combat skills, as software, could not make up for it at all.]

[No matter how strong a mouse is, it cannot stop an elephant's kick. No matter how sharp a mantis's sickle is, it cannot cut through the body of a train. As the saying goes, a master can be defeated by a random punch. In front of these Gurongis whose punches and kicks have an average force of several tons, even if Kousaka Kyosuke completely crushes them in fighting skills and awareness, he cannot compete with them on the same stage, and naturally he has no chance to show off his skills. ]

[It's like playing a game. If a master using a primary account fights a newbie who has a full-level account with all basic qualities that completely crush him, and whose defense and attack power and other abilities have reached the highest level, in this case, no matter how skillful the master's operation is, each of his attacks can only reduce the opponent's health by a tiny amount, while each of the opponent's random attacks may clear the entire health bar, and the defense will collapse at the touch of a button in the face of overwhelming attack power.]

[This is the most essential gap between Kousaka Kyosuke and those unconfirmed life forms, an abyss that cannot be filled by skills at all. ]

[——But if the levels of the two are raised to the same level, what will the result be? ]

[Kousaka Kyosuke is a good example of this now. 】

[After relying on this set of armor called go, the physical fitness and output capacity, which were originally the biggest gap, were brought to the same level, and the strength that determined the strength was no longer simply strength, but the battle consciousness and skills that each had honed over thousands of years! ]

[If Zaimokuza Yoshiki and these Gurongi were good at pure hard-hitting style in previous battles, adhering to the belief of fighting with "strength", then Kousaka Kyousuke did the opposite, walking in the way of fighting with "softness" to overcome "hardness", and "skill" to stop "strength". ]

[And when Kousaka Kyosuke, who possesses a high level of 'skills', obtains 'power' comparable to Zaimokuza's, what kind of chemical changes will occur? ]

[Hina Ebina knew this, so she chose Kyosuke Kosaka to be the one who wears this set of go. 】

[This weapon is a blade of civilization created by human technology. Since it is a sword, there must be someone who can pull it out.]

[A powerful, calm and rational "hero" who is capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting humanity, the strongest warrior. ]

[This is Kousaka Kyosuke, a warrior who has gone through countless hard training over the years and has become extremely strong, and finally reached the realm of "superman" with his mortal body! ]

27.Whose Call? Four in One

【Tokyo City, Metropolitan Police Department, Scientific Police Research Institute. 180txt.com】

[“This is truly… a performance that completely exceeded my expectations.”]

[Looking at the battle record on the screen in front of her, which was transmitted back from the helmet's built-in camera and played from a first-person perspective, which could only be described as devastating, Ebina Hina reached out and pushed the glasses on her face. ]

[Although she was still smiling, her eyes behind the glasses could hardly hide her surprise and even shock.]

[“Although I asked him to show his ability, this level of combat capability has completely exceeded my initial expectations.”]

[As the chief designer of the first piece of this G-series weapon, no one knows better than Ebina Hina what its capabilities can reach. ]

[According to the initial calculations and simulations, even if the wearer's personal factors are taken into account, even if this armor is used to its maximum extent, it can only be on par with the unconfirmed life forms that can change their own forms in the previous records. ]

[This is already the best simulation result, and this "50-50" capacity limit still contains a lot of water. ]

[Because the targets of the simulated battle are the Gurongi that appeared before the 『me』 group started the game, that is, the unconfirmed life forms of the 『zu』 group. Considering the factor that they can change their own forms, they are basically just referring to the number six who once severely injured Zaimokuza in the battle. 】

[When it comes to the game stage of the "me" group, the strength of the unconfirmed life forms that can change their own forms has been greatly enhanced, far surpassing the sixth number that this set of weapons was originally simulated for. ]

[Using No. 14 and No. 22 as examples, Ebina Hime once conducted combat calculations simulating these two powerful enemies, and the final result was that even if the suiter could perform at an extraordinary level in combat, he would only have a 30% chance of winning in a one-on-one situation.]

[This undoubtedly frustrated her, and the unidentified life form No. 23 that appeared this time was an enemy with this level of threat.]

[So when Ebina Hime first asked Kousaka Kyosuke to wear this go to the battlefield, she didn't expect him to be able to defeat the enemy that appeared this time. Instead, she believed that he could share the pressure with Zaimokuza, who was the main force in the battle, and at the same time, he could fire a few beautiful assists. She also used the recorded combat data as evidence in the subsequent meeting to apply for approval of more research funds. ]

[Because the funds for making this gulkiller were originally approved by the superiors reluctantly after Ebina Hina applied for it many times and used her own connections, with the idea of ​​trying it out. ]

[But even so, after actually starting to manufacture the Go, Ebina Hina found that the budget approved was still not enough to completely manufacture the Go. Therefore, in order to fill this gap, she had no choice but to secretly withdraw a lot of funds from other research projects without telling her superiors, and even put all the food expenses given to the institute into it. ]

[Thanks to this, all researchers in the institute, including her, have been eating instant noodles for almost two months, and have basically developed a psychological trauma from eating instant noodles.]

[The research funds were misappropriated for research without authorization, and the food expenses were deducted. Not to mention that the researchers below have a lot of complaints about this, if even this first attack fails, then even if Ebina Hime is not replaced, she will inevitably have to bear some trouble. ]

[But from this moment on, these worries disappeared under Kousaka Kyousuke's superb actual combat performance. Ebina Hime was able to foresee that a lot of research funds were flapping their wings and flying towards her, and she was simply overjoyed! ]

[“Although I am somewhat unwilling, being able to bring out Go’s combat power that completely surpasses the best values ​​during the simulation can no longer be explained by the superb performance of the suit staff… It was indeed the right decision to choose you, Kousaka-kun?”]

[She sighed as she watched the blue-white fist gradually retract on the screen, with a hint of reluctance in her voice, already showing admiration.]

[“As expected, the real power is not the weapon, but the person who uses it, Kousaka Kyousuke himself.”]

[“The go used by others is just a go, but a more powerful weapon. Only the go used by Kousaka Kyousuke can be called a true ‘gulkiller’.”]

Chiba Prefecture, Sobu High School, health room.

"Kousaka Kyosuke——is this guy really still human? He's too strong!"

Seeing on the screen that No. 23, who had previously had a strong advantage over "Yoshiki Zaimokuza" who transformed into Kuuga, was crushed by "Kousaka Kyosuke" who was wearing a GO with absolutely overwhelming combat power, as well as the various skills he mastered and the evaluation of "Hina Ebina", Tobe Sho felt that his jaw was about to dislocate due to shock and he couldn't close his mouth at all.

"That's why I said you can't wear this armor."

Hikigaya on the side said this with a calm expression, but his constantly flickering eyes also showed that his heart was not as calm as his appearance. The terrifying fighting power of "Kousaka Kyosuke" that completely exceeded the limits of human beings obviously shocked Hikigaya and everyone here.

"If there really is destiny in this world... then perhaps this armor was made for Kousaka Kyousuke. Only the Go used by him is the Go. It is the sword of civilization that protects mankind, the scepter bestowed by God on mankind, and has the power to wipe out all evil spirits."

"For others, this is a more powerful riot control weapon, which may not be as useful as an ordinary shotgun."

"This statement really has a sense of religious fatalism. When did you become a Christian, Mr. Penguin?"

When Yukinoshita Yukino heard Hikigaya's speech, which sounded like a hymn from a church priest, she couldn't help but raise her slender and beautiful eyelashes and asked.

"…This is just what I feel, you don't have to care about it."

Unexpectedly, this time, Hikigaya Hachiman did not react to Yukinoshita Yukino deliberately calling his name wrong. Instead, he remained silent for a while and then spoke.

But his brows were inexplicably furrowed, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

What did I just say?

I said that the reason Kousaka Kyousuke got this armor was because of - fate?

Chiba Prefecture, Chiba Prefectural Chiba Benzun High School, Health Room.

Kyosuke Kousaka was also looking at "himself" displaying divine power in the light curtain, but he was not surprised and dazed like the others. Instead, he seemed very calm, even silent.

After untying the knot in his heart for a long time and figuring out certain things, he can now see certain things that he had previously ignored.

When others only saw the powerful fighting ability of "Kousuke Kosaka" and enthusiastically discussed the amazing performance of go, Kyosuke Kosaka saw something else.

He saw a boy of the same age as himself, doing horse stance in a large dojo, repeating the basic martial arts movements of kicking and punching over and over again. The clumsy movements gradually became more proficient through repetition, until even punching and kicking were accompanied by a whistling sound. He saw a young man standing silently in front of a table, reassembling a disassembled pistol on the table over and over again, then aiming at a target in the distance, repeating this process over and over again. The bullet holes on the target also gradually moved from the outer ring to the center, and finally fixed at the ten rings in the center and no longer moved...

Repeating again and again, practicing day after day, the boy treated all his skills as seeds, watering them day and night like a hardworking farmer, and finally they bore plump fruits.

"..."

The corners of Kyosuke Kousaka's mouth curled up in a smile, the arc carrying a mixture of relief and bitterness.

"...So I have to go such a long way to become you."

""I"."

【Plop.】

[Biran fell to the ground powerlessly from the depression of the pillar, supported himself on the ground with trembling hands, and looked up at Kousaka Kyosuke in the distance. ]

[“How can a mere Linduo be so strong!?”]

[It completely couldn't understand why this fake Kuuga was so strong, even much stronger than the original one it had beaten before.]

[Biran had already identified the person in front of him with his excellent sense of smell from the close-range fight just now. The person in front of him was the Linduo warrior who had previously fished him out of the river like a fish. He was one of the game targets that he had already planned.]

[But how could he be so powerful? He is totally different from before.]

[This sense of oppression and fighting power is comparable to those powerful players of the "GO" group! ]

[While Biran was still lying on the ground, doubting the sashimi, Kousaka Kyosuke, who had knocked it away with a punch, had already walked back to his mount and stood there, reaching his right hand towards the large white storage box behind the motorcycle.]

[When his right hand approached, the object that looked like a storage box sensed Kousaka Kyosuke's approach through the built-in sensor, and the area facing the right hand suddenly shrank inward from the middle, revealing a concave hole with visible precision mechanical patterns.]

[Kousaka Kyosuke thrust his right hand in, grasped a handle in the groove that had a structure similar to a pistol, twisted it hard, and removed the entire box from the motorcycle.]

[Click——]

[From the moment this "box" was separated from the motorcycle by Kousaka Kyosuke, two iron plates similar to wing structures popped out from its left and right sides with the sound of the mechanism running, and the round shape began to extend to both sides, and the overall shape became a heavy shield full of mechanical texture. ]

【Machine Shielder.】

[“Get ready, Zaimokuza!”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke placed the mechanical shield transformed from the motorcycle storage box in front of him, and shouted at Zaimokuza who was standing in the distance and watching the battle in a daze.]

[“Ah!? Yes!”]

[Zaimokuza, who was also stunned, was awakened by Kousaka Kyosuke's shout. He remembered what he had just told him and immediately put his hands on his waist and shouted.]

[“Super Transformation!”]

【Om—】

[A red light shone from the spirit stone, and Zaimokuza's heavy purple-silver armor transformed into red reinforced muscles with a buzzing sound. He also transformed back into his full-powered form for the first time in this battle.]

[Zaimokuza, who had transformed back into his almighty form, immediately felt his body relax a lot. He lowered his body into a horse stance, and made the hand gestures he would make before using his special move, his eyes fixed on Biran who was standing in the distance.]

【"very good."】

【Seeing the red light of flames suddenly appear under Zaimokuza's feet, Kousaka Kyousuke, knowing that he was ready to attack, stepped towards the enemy between them with a shield in hand.】

[His fingers, which were wrapped in the shield guard, pulled the trigger on the handle, and the iron wings on both sides of the shield immediately retracted inward, making the shape of the whole day closer to the conical drill head.]

【Click.】

[“Hmm!?”]

[The sound of footsteps made Biran shudder. He looked up and looked around. After seeing that he was sandwiched between Zaimokuza and Kousaka Kyosuke, he immediately realized that he was surrounded.]

[An unprecedented sense of danger emerged in its heart. Although it was bloodthirsty and belligerent, it was not reckless. It naturally knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to it. The only way out was to run away. ]

[But... thinking that he had been forced into a desperate situation twice by Linduo, who looked down on him and regarded him as prey, the humiliation pierced Biran's proud heart like a knife cutting through fire. His five fingers with sharp claws couldn't help but clench and pierce into his palm, and hot blood flowed out from his palm slowly. ]
