The story we started

【"kuu——ga——!!!"】

【boom! ! ! 】

[The excited shouts that made people feel excited approached from above at a very fast speed. The next moment, a violent roar sounded from a distance behind Zaimokuza. He immediately turned to face the direction of the roar. The four girls behind him also looked past Zaimokuza's back and turned their eyes to the front. What they saw immediately made their faces turn pale.]

[“Long time no see, I missed you so much! Kuuga!”]

[Baduu pulled out his feet one by one from the ground, leaving two deep footprints on the smooth concrete floor. He looked at the familiar figure in front of him and spoke in a happy tone.]

[“Woo!”]

[Seeing the terrifying figure in the distance, the memory of almost dying at the hands of the other party just now immediately emerged in Akiyama Mio's mind. Her face immediately turned pale, and the fear that came over her made her whole body tremble. ]

[A hand suddenly blocked Akiyama Mio's sight, preventing her from seeing Baduu across from her. The girl subconsciously turned her gaze to the tall figure in front of her.]

[“Run away.”]

[Zaimokuza stared solemnly at the body of Badou standing opposite him. The feeling he gave was different from the few Gurongi he had encountered before. His enhanced intuition felt a faint sense of oppression coming from the enemy in front of him.]

[“Ah, ah, ah, ah?”]

[The three girls behind Akiyama Mio heard Zaimokuza suddenly speak such a clear Japanese sentence, and immediately looked at him with a blank expression, and Tianzhong Ritsu even stumbled and asked in surprise. ]

【“You, you, you can speak human language!?”】

[“Ritsu-chan!? You are so rude!”]

[“Leave here now. I’m afraid I can’t protect you in the next battle.”]

[Zaimokuza did not answer their questions, but continued to stare at Badou who had his arms folded across his chest, his voice slightly hurried.]

[“Do you hear the sirens coming from behind? Go find the police officer who is rushing over and ask him to take you away from here, quickly!”]

[Seeing Badou walking towards here, Zaimokuza retracted his outstretched right hand, put his hands in front of his chest in the starting position of martial arts, and loudly urged the four girls behind him to leave this place that was about to become a battlefield. ]

[“You don’t understand what’s going on!? Forget it! Let’s run! Everyone!”]

[Taizhong Ritsu scratched his hair with a somewhat frantic expression, grabbed Akiyama Mio's wrist with one hand, and called the rest of his friends to run towards the increasingly clear sound of sirens behind them. The other two hurriedly followed and ran to the end of the street behind them.]

[At this time, Akiyama Mio did not break free from her friend's hand. While running, she looked back at the figure behind her that was getting farther and farther away. Suddenly, an impulse surged in her timid heart.]

【“Wait, wait! What’s your name!?”】

[She asked Zaimokuza hurriedly, hoping to get the name of the monster who saved her life.]

[Originally, Akiyama Mio didn't have any expectations for this. This was purely a polite inquiry for the other party's life-saving grace. In fact, she knew in her heart that this mysterious-looking person would not tell his name to an ordinary girl who met by chance, even if he had just saved this girl's life. ]

[But the next second, the answer that came out was once again beyond her expectations. ]

[“Kuga! My name is Kuuga!”]

[While running, Akiyama Mio turned her head and saw the red figure telling her his name without turning his head, and the right hand stretched out from the side again, with a thumb raised.]

【“Sora——I——?”】

24. New power, the power of the Azure Dragon! Two in one

[“I repeat, my name is Kousaka Kyousuke, and my position is deputy inspector. I am currently leaving the scene with four ordinary citizens. Unconfirmed life forms No. 4 and No. 6 are currently fighting in Suginami District. Please send support personnel as soon as possible!”]

[After Kosaka Kyosuke finished speaking, he put the intercom back in place and drove the car with a solemn expression. The four girls sitting in the back seat and the passenger seat next to him looked at the officer's solemn expression and didn't dare to talk to him. They drove the police car for a long distance in silence. 180txt.com]

[After a while, Akiyama Mio, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hesitantly broke the silence.]

[“Um… Officer Kosaka? I’d like to ask you something…”]

[Akiyama Mio looked at the nameplate hanging on Kousaka Kyosuke's chest and spoke tentatively.]

【"What's wrong, Miss?"】

[Kousaka Kyosuke glanced at the tear marks and red eyes on Akiyama Mio's face. Based on his experience, he judged that she had been frightened before, so he slowed down his tone and asked in a softer voice.]

[“Um, you just mentioned the unconfirmed life form No. 4… its name is Kuuga, right?”]

[“…Did he tell you that?”]

[The corners of Kousaka Kyosuke's mouth twitched, and Akiyama Mio clearly saw that this police officer, who gave people a serious and unsmiling first impression, actually rolled his eyes. This behavior somewhat broke her perception of this police officer.]

【"--Yes."】

[“Yes, yes, I remember now! That——Kuga? He did speak human language before, and he was the one who asked us to ask you for help, Officer Kousaka, do you know him?”]

[After hearing Kousaka Kyosuke's reply, Tian Zhongli, who was originally sitting in the back seat, became bolder and immediately opened the floodgates of conversation. She pulled the backrest of Kousaka Kyosuke's driver's seat with her hands, leaned out, and looked at him curiously. ]

[“Who is he? Is he the secret warrior that the police have been hiding? Or is he the product of some biochemical experiment, a companion who chose to help humans after learning human language and thinking? Or is he, like No. 6, the unknown life form reported in the news before, but he chose to betray his fellow human beings in order to protect them—”]

【"stop!"】

[For a moment, Kousaka Kyosuke felt that the person sitting behind him was not a young JK, but a female version of Zaimokuza Yoshiki. Feeling a headache, he subconsciously used the tone he usually used when talking to Zaimokuza.]

[As soon as he said this, the car fell silent. He realized that his tone was wrong and looked at the back seat through the rearview mirror. Tainaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui, who were frightened by his tone, were hugging Kotobuki Tsumugi's slender waist with tears in their eyes. The girl with long beige hair was frantically hugging the two people's heads to her chest, saying "Good boy, Mr. Policeman means no harm" to comfort them softly.]

[Thinking that something was wrong, he immediately slowed down his voice and spoke softly to comfort her.]

[“Sorry, your question involves internal secrets. I can’t answer you, but…”]

[He paused, and then Akiyama Mio, who was closest to Kousaka Kyosuke, was surprised to see that the police officer's face showed another expression that she had never seen before, except for the serious expression since they got on the bus.]

【That is a smile.】

[“What I can tell you is that the guy is a trustworthy ‘person’.”]

……

【“Taku!”】

[In an alley not far from the bustling shopping street, two similar shouts rang out at the same time, and two figures leaped up and crossed each other in mid-air, landing in the position where the other had originally stood.]

【Zaimokuza turned around and once again assumed one of the starting positions of the martial arts he had learned. Looking at Baduu who turned around with his hands hanging at his sides, he felt heavy-hearted.】

[In the brief fight just now, he and his opponent were evenly matched. His knife attack on its neck was neutralized by Gurongi's fist hitting his wrist, and the opponent's elbow attack was blocked by his raised knee.]

[“You’ve become weaker~Kuuga.”]

[Baduu put his hands on his hips and watched Zaimokuza gently twist his neck. The "cracking" sound of bones rubbing against each other was extremely harsh in the quiet alley.]

【Zaimokuza remained silent, still alert to the other party's every move.】

[“Hmph~”]

【Baduu saw that Zaimokuza didn't reply and wasn't angry, so he sneered and pointed his left thumb at a group of apartments on the left side of the alley, and jumped up with both feet.】

【“!”】

[In Zaimokuza's field of vision, he watched the other party's figure almost disappear on the spot and couldn't help but shudder. He remembered the direction it had just pointed, and rushed to the left wall without hesitation, jumped up and somersaulted into the square on the first floor of the apartment building inside.]

[This apartment building is about 30 stories high. There are tall buildings on all four sides of the square. There is no elevator, only four external staircases that spiral up along the tall buildings on all four sides. If you look up here, you will have the illusion that you are soaring into the sky along the spiral stairs, and the end point is the blue sky at the end of your vision.]

"Whose genius came up with this idea? Putting this kind of design in a residential building? Aren't you afraid that the residents will get lost?"

In the real world, many people working in the construction and interior decoration industries couldn't help but complain when they saw this bizarre Gothic design style. This kind of operation was done in a residential building. Not only are the four floors the same in appearance, but the most amazing thing is that there is not even a number sign. The residents here are probably all sports enthusiasts who have been engaged in maze challenges for a long time.

[Zaimokuza looked at the dew layers that looked identical in all directions with vigilance, ready to be on guard against Baduu's attacks at any time.]

【call out--】

[A sharp whistling sound came from behind him. Zaimokuza reacted quickly and turned around to defend himself, but was shocked to find that there was nothing behind him. ]

[“Woooooo!”]

[A violent impact came from behind, and Zaimokuza was kicked away by Baduu. He fell to the ground like a dog chewing mud and slid a long way. The lower jaw of his mouthparts rubbed against the ground with a swishing sound, producing dazzling sparks.]

[“The door behind me is wide open, kuuga!”]

[Baduu did not retract his right foot, but slowly raised his leg up, doing a perfect split. He crossed his arms and looked at Zaimokuza, who was lying on the ground with his butt sticking up. Even people who did not understand their language could hear the teasing in his tone.]

[“You bastard…!”]

【Zaimokuza stood up, holding his chin. He felt as if a layer of skin had been rubbed off his chin. The iron jaw even felt hot due to the friction.】

"Is this the legendary chin brake?"

Looking at the slightly red steel chin of Mokuza in the video, many people subconsciously covered their jaws and took a deep breath. At this moment, they seemed to feel the same pain.

[“Go to hell!”]

【Zaimokuza roared and punched Badou's disgusting face hard, and Badou once again bent his knees and jumped up. Zaimokuza was not to be outdone and also jumped towards the jumping opponent with both feet.】

[As a result, Baduu, who originally looked like a locust, really acted like a real locust. His super strong lower limbs allowed him to jump over a distance of more than 90 meters directly to the top floor of the building, while Zaimokuza stopped jumping at a height of about seven floors and fell downwards in compliance with gravity. In a panic, he reached out and grabbed the handrail of the external staircase.]

[“Hahaha! Kuuga, what’s wrong? Is this the highest you can jump?”]

[Baduu squatted on the edge of the roof in a toilet squatting position, watching Zaimokuza climbing up the stairs below. The laughter echoed with the help of the "mouth"-shaped sealed structure inside the building. Zaimokuza, who was climbing the stairs with great effort, was furious when he heard the laughter, and he gritted his teeth and increased his speed of climbing the stairs. ]

[“Just wait for me! You locust-faced bastard!”]

Chiba Prefecture, Sobu High School, Service Club.

"Hahaha! I know it's inappropriate to laugh now, but why does this scene look so funny?"

Watching the video on the mobile phone showing Zaimokuza charging up the stairs, and the locust Gurongi squatting on the roof and laughing at him, it was just like a husky madly provoking a golden retriever through the iron fence. Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly felt that this scene was inexplicably funny, and she couldn't help but slap her knees and laugh.

"Hiratsuka-sensei..."

When she heard the deep voice, she quickly suppressed her laughter and looked back, only to see Zaimokuza looking at her with resentment on his face, his resentment almost solidified.

"Sorry, I'm not targeting you, Zaimokuza. It's just that this scene looks too--hahaha!!!"

Before she finished speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka burst into laughter again. Although no one except Yuigahama Yui laughed with her, a closer look revealed that although Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino had no expression on their faces, their shoulders were shaking slightly.

"..."

[“Woooooo!”]

[Zaimokuza's screams echoed in the building complex for the second time. Just when he climbed to the 18th floor, he was attacked by Badu again. The other party jumped down from the top floor and kicked him down at the corner of the stairs when he was about to turn the corner. Then he stepped on his right ankle with one foot and stepped on his chest with the other foot.]

[“You’re as slow as a turtle. I’d better come and play with you by myself!”]

[Baduu said with great contempt, raised his right foot and kicked hard in the center of Zaimokuza's chest. The strong leg strength gave it a powerful kick. This kick directly broke the stair railing behind Zaimokuza's back and kicked him down from the 18th floor along with the railing.]

[“Guwaaa!!!”]

[Zaimokuza fell face down on the ground on the first floor. His strengthened body smashed the ground into scattered cracks. Zaimokuza felt as if his whole body was falling apart. The pain from his chest hitting the ground was so severe that he could not breathe.]

[“Damn! This guy is so fast…”]

[He stood up with one hand on the ground and the other hand covering his chest, staggering a little, looking at the stairs on the 18th floor, standing with his hands on his hips at the gap in the fence, looking at his badu, breathing heavily.]

[“Heh~”]

[Seeing Zaimokuza standing up again, Baduu nodded with satisfaction, and leaped up again, jumping to the lower staircase on the opposite side, then kicked the outer edge of the fence and jumped to the staircase one level lower than where it was originally, and then the wall, staircase, wall, staircase - its speed was getting faster and faster, and the speed of jumping between buildings was almost connected to a continuous afterimage. Zaimokuza couldn't even catch its shape with the naked eye! ]

【"hateful!"】

[Zaimokuza felt his scalp tingle as he watched Badou rushing towards him at a speed that made him invisible, as he climbed the wall of the building as if it were flat ground.]

[No! Calm down! This might be an opportunity! Stay calm, just once is enough. As long as the next attack hits it, then you have a chance of winning! Just one hit is enough! ]

[Zaimokuza forced himself to calm down, and with his red compound eyes he looked at the blurry figure approaching him at high speed from upstairs, and there seemed to be a faint light flashing in his eyes.]

[He adjusted his breathing rhythm, and as his mind moved, the red pearls on his right ankle emitted a barely perceptible glow, and a faint flame flickered on the sole of his right foot. This move was the same kick that had been used to kill the unconfirmed life forms No. 1 and No. 5.]

[The sound of a figure moving at high speed and cutting through the air gradually approached his ears. The enemy's figure even flashed past Zaimokuza several times, but he remained motionless, waiting for the opportunity to attack. The fire under his feet became more and more intense, and white smoke even began to float up from the ground where his right foot stepped.]

【call out--】

[The sound of breaking wind was heard again behind him, and Zaimokuza suddenly raised his head, and his red compound eyes flashed a dazzling light for a moment.]

【It's now! 】

[“Hey!!!”]

[Zaimokuza didn't look back. He followed his instincts and raised his right leg, leaving a dark, smoking footprint on the ground. He roared, turned his body, and kicked to the left. The flaming sole of his foot just kicked towards the face of Baduu who was rushing towards him! ]

[As long as this long-charged attack hits, with the opponent's speed and Zaimokuza's own strength, he can even kick the enemy's head off! ]

【"--snort!"】

[In the Sumeru, Zaimokuza seemed to see the mask-like mouth of Badou in front of him draw a mocking arc, and a cold snort full of disdain sounded in his ears. ]

[The next moment, he saw an incredible scene. ]

[Baduu, who was about to be kicked in the face, stretched out his hands to hold Zaimokuza's right ankle, using it as a fulcrum to use the potential energy of his own sprint to lift his feet backwards, raised his right leg high in his sight, and then approached at a very fast speed! ]

[Baduu raised his right foot high and chopped down heavily on Zaimokuza's right shoulder. Zaimokuza felt that what chopped down his shoulder was not a long leg made of flesh and blood, but a heavy steel axe chopped by a Viking god of war who had experienced hundreds of battles! ]

[“——Ugh!”]
