My youth story cannot be a knight war

【“……!”】

Seeing the other party's disdainful attitude, which didn't even bother him, Gooma's face twisted, and his black-gloved hands clenched tightly.

"What? You want to fight? You idiot 'ZU'!"

After Gooma was enraged, Badjisu finally turned to look at him. He sneered and shook the bracelet in his hand, admiring the eager yet fearful look in Gooma's eyes. He simply loved the other's attitude of wanting to kill him but being unable to do so; it always made him feel relaxed.

【“…”】

Gooma stared at Badjisu intently, his eyes so sinister they made one's scalp shiver, but under the gaze of those blue compound eyes, he slowly loosened his clenched hands.

【"snort!"】

Badjisu sneered at this and tried to taunt again.

【boom! 】

[Accompanied by a gunshot, the bracelet on its wrist flew out in the explosion of sparks and landed not far from Gooma, causing Gooma's eyes to widen.]

【"Um!?"】

Badjisu didn't have time to retrieve the bracelet. He turned around and saw a Linduo holding a "bow and arrow" from this era, his eyes cold and icy.

"Henshin!"

Zaimokuza ran past Kousaka Kyosuke, who was firing his rifle. He shouted, his eyes stern as he slapped his hands on the belt that appeared around his waist. In an instant, red armor completely replaced his clothes. After completing his transformation, he leaped high and rushed towards Badjisu!

“KUU——!”

[“Hey!”]

Badjisu, whose surprise was concealed by joy, hadn't finished speaking when Zaimokuza roared and punched him hard in the face, sending him flying with such force.

【“!?”】

Gooma gazed at the unexpected surprise in front of him with delight. He looked up at Zaimokuza, who was running away after the sent-off Badjisu. Just as he was about to pick up the bracelet, Kousaka Kyousuke, with his quick eyes and hands, had already pulled the bolt to eject the bullet and reload. He pointed the gun at the man he considered suspicious and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The bullet fired accurately, knocking Gooma's hat off his head.

[“Wow!!!”]

Without his hat, Gooma faced the bright sunlight and screamed miserably. He quickly covered his face with his hands and turned to flee. His figure twisted and turned back into his original Bat Gurongi.

【“Number three!”】

[Kousaka Kyosuke's expression changed when he saw Gooma's true form revealed, and he immediately chased after him with a gun.]

【boom! 】

Badjisu, once again sent flying by a punch, crashes into a trash can. Enduring the stench, it stands up and brushes off the trash. Shaking its dizzy head, it looks across at Zaimokuza, who stands with his hands in front of him, his feet sinking, and speaks with a smile.

"Your punch is pretty good, Kuuga, but it's not as powerful as before."

【"drink!"】

【Zaimokuza did not refute the words that Gurongi said in his own language. He raised his right foot halfway while shouting, and flames flashed under his foot.】

He crossed his arms in front of his chest and immediately rushed towards Badjisu, who had stood up. The flames on his right foot left a dark footprint and a flickering spark on the concrete floor with each landing. When he ran to a very close distance, he jumped up with both feet, rolled in the air, and extended his right foot.

【“What the hell!”】

With a resounding roar, Zaimokuza's right foot blazed with flames as he kicked towards Badjisu in front of him!

【Sure-kill, all-powerful kick.】

The name of this move was written again in white font on the video.

This move was developed by Zaimokuza after much thought during his battles with Gurongi. In the dead of night, he quietly used barbed wire to pry open the lock of the park's side gate and slipped in. He practiced his flying kick under a century-old tree, hoping to increase its power.

[Because as the battle progressed, Zaimokuza felt that the power of his red form gradually began to fail to keep up with the intensity of the battle. Compared with the Azure Dragon form, which could turn various long objects into weapons, move quickly, and awaken elements as a trump card, the red form had almost no advantages except for its strong fist power. The evidence is that after the sixth, in the battles with several unconfirmed life forms, Zaimokuza always used the Azure Dragon form to end the battle. ]

[But Zaimokuza feels that the potential of the red form should be more than that. Although the Azure Dragon form is indeed very useful, before the elemental awakening form is activated, it can only be said that it has its own advantages compared to the red form. The elemental awakening that surpasses the red form in almost all aspects is too physically demanding. After the last use, it took Zaimokuza about ten hours before he could transform again.

[Let’s not talk about the fact that he has not been able to skillfully use Elemental Awakening since the last battle against No. 6. He can’t just keep using Elemental Awakening when he encounters an enemy that he can’t defeat in Red Form or Azure Dragon Form, right? What if a new enemy appears during this recovery time? ]

[So Zaimokuza decided to use the red form of the flying kick to see if he could increase its power.]

One night, while practicing his flying kick under the tree, Zaimokuza suddenly had the idea to combine his red form's flying kick with his 1th skill, the aerial spin, to see if he could increase the power of his kick. Acting on his idea, he transformed right there in the park and used the aforementioned move. To his surprise, the result was a huge boost in the power of his flying kick!

[…And the price was that the tree broke in two right in the middle where it was kicked, under the stunned gaze of Zaimokuza, who had returned to his original form. The noise when it fell was so earth-shattering that it woke up all the employees in the park from their sleep. The lights in the houses and dormitories were like countless torches lit on an altar, and the unfortunate sacrifice was Zaimokuza.]

[This resulted in Zaimokuza being nearly eaten alive by the angry staff, and he managed to escape from the park's encirclement with great difficulty.]

[And the sacrifice of the big tree was worth it. When Zaimokuza later fought against the unconfirmed life form No. 11, he used this flying kick at the first opportunity and killed No. 11 with one kick. The time from the start of the battle was less than three minutes.]

[And the second target of this flying kick is the wasp-like Gurongi in front of him, Me-Badjisu-Ba! ]

【"snort!"】

Badjisu sneered disdainfully at the familiar kick before him. His wings flapped, and he soared upward, dodging Zaimokuza's attack. Zaimokuza's dodged a powerful flying kick, which struck the concrete wall where he had been standing. The towering wall shattered under his foot, sending thick smoke billowing into the air.

[“Can you fly!?”]

Zaimokuza looked up in the dust and smoke at Badjisu, who had flown to the rooftop of another building, his tone filled with astonishment.

"What's wrong? KUUGA, come up here."

Badjisu, his feet levitating as his wings flapped behind him, looked up at Zaimokuza, who was looking up at him. He raised his index finger and twitched it with disdain, causing Zaimokuza to tsk his tongue in dissatisfaction. His red compound eyes scanned the area for any long objects that he could transform into his Blue Dragon form and use as a weapon.

【"Um?"】

[Suddenly, Zaimokuza's eyes froze after he saw a shooting booth separated by barbed wire, and then he stared closely at the simulated firearms on the shooting booth.]

[Oh yeah, maybe it’s possible—]

【With this thought in mind, Zaimokuza immediately rushed forward and grabbed the wire mesh separating the shooting booths with both hands. He tore the wire mesh apart with his palms, reached through the gap and took out one of the simulated firearms inside.】

[“Hmm? That’s…”]

Looking at the imitation gun in Zaimokuza's hand, Badjisu thought of something and his gaze froze for a moment.

Zaimokuza, holding the imitation gun, looked up at Badjisu, who was lost in thought. He took a deep breath, slapped his hand on the spirit stone on his belt, and then shouted out the lines he had painstakingly designed for his own transformation.

[“Super Transformation!”]

【Om—】

[After Zaimokuza's voice fell, the spirit stone on his waist began to hum again, and the light of the spirit stone quickly flickered between red and blue.]

[But in the end, the color of the spirit stone turned into another color besides the red representing the omnipotent form and the blue representing the Azure Dragon form - green.]

[When the spirit stone turned green, the red armor on Zaimokuza also changed. The pure green armor, like the resurrection of the forest, replaced the red muscles and wrist armor on his body. A green shoulder armor extended from his shoulder, complementing the pair of compound eyes that had turned green.]

[“That’s, green…!”]

Badjisu looked at Zaimokuza's transformation into a new form, and his tone immediately rose three notches.

[As it spoke, the simulated gun in Zaimokuza's hand began to transform, a bright emerald color permeated the entire gun body, and the simulated gun changed its shape and turned into a crossbow inlaid with green gems.]

[Kuga·Pegasus Form·Pegasus Crossbow. 】

"This is the green form that appeared in the previous dream!"

Seeing the new form that Zaimokuza transformed into in the video, many people who had previously seen Zaimokuza's dream through the video quickly recognized this form. It was the form in which he held a bow and crossbow and shot at the enemy.

"So this green form is called Pegasus Form. Now, since the enemy can fly, we can just shoot them with a crossbow, just like hunters in ancient times used bows and arrows to shoot down birds flying across the sky!"

Many people immediately understood Zaimokuza's intention, and then looked forward to seeing what abilities this new form would have.

【"call……"】

Zaimokuza, holding a crossbow, took a deep breath. With his breath, the various noises that were frantically drilling into his ears and the sights he saw suddenly faded. All his senses were focused on Badjisu, floating on the rooftop before him.

[Very good, I can control it! He thought silently in his heart.]

【This new green form appeared not long ago.】2

[Before, Zaimokuza transformed and practiced flying kicks in the park. One time, when he was looking at the Tokyo Tower standing tall in the dark world under the night sky, the thought of wanting to see it more clearly flashed through his mind, and he suddenly changed into this form. ]

[As Zaimokuza was still caught off guard by the change in color, the sudden sounds from all directions and the sights before his eyes made his mind go blank. Then, an incomparable pain rose in his mind, causing him to scream uncontrollably.]

At that moment, he could clearly hear the rustle of the night wind, feel the ripples on the lake, the clouds drifting across the night sky, and the hum of various vehicles. He could see the flies dancing around every lightbulb on Tokyo Tower, and the couple below, kissing and hugging each other in tears. He felt the woman slap the man in the face after she pushed him away. The words, "Why are you so skilled? How many times have you kissed Setsuna behind my back?" seemed to echo directly into his brain, as deafening as the first chime of a temple bell at dawn, the sound of a log colliding with an ancient bell.

[But Zaimokuza was completely unable to control his spreading perception at that time, and his brain soon became painful due to the excessive information loading, and he immediately turned back to his original white form and fell to the ground powerlessly.]

[After that, he was still in fear. Although he knew that he had mastered a new ability, he was not happy at all. He told Yukinoshita Yukino about this privately, hoping that she could find some clues about this form. ]

[Just now in the Metropolitan Police Department's research room, Yukino Yukinoshita finally sent me the inscription she had translated and found. ]

[——When an evil creature appears, know its form better than its body, and shoot through the evil warriors like a gust of wind.]

【Zaimokuza, who was silently repeating this sentence in his mind at that time, recalled his previous dreams and immediately determined the general usage of this form. Now, looking at the crossbow in his hand, he felt that as expected, this form was a form dedicated to long-range attacks.】

[Let me see how powerful this form is! ]

[After fully concentrating his six senses on the enemy in front of him, Zaimokuza immediately raised the Pegasus crossbow in his hand and aimed it at the opponent, pulling the lever. The bow on the crossbow immediately closed up, just like those ancient longbows with the bowstring fully drawn.]

【"drink!"】

[A boiling white mist rises from the firing port. When Zaimokuza pulls the trigger of the Pegasus crossbow, a transparent arrow immediately shoots out from the firing port, shooting straight at the enemy in front of him!]

[“Uh wow!”]

The transparent arrow struck Badjisu's left wing at lightning speed, before he could react. Shot by the arrow, he screamed and plummeted from the rooftop, landing heavily on the nearby wooden building housing the shooting range. The structure collapsed under the impact of his falling body.

【“…”】

[Zaimokuza silently put down the Pegasus Crossbow he had raised, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately wanted to cancel the transformation before his physical strength was over-consumed.]

[“Hehehe——”]

【“!?”】

[A cold laugh interrupted his movements, and Zaimokuza raised his head warily, staring at the figure that stood up from the rubble.]

[“It feels good. It was this arrow that sealed me in the first place, but this time it’s different…”]

"I can feel that you really want to kill me this time, KUUGA!"

[“Very good, that’s more like it!”]

Badjisu, mumbling to himself with his head bowed, slowly spread the four wings behind him. On the left wing was a crimson totem symbol representing "wind."

[It raised its head, and its blue compound eyes were quickly stained with the same green as Zaimokuza's eyes, and it reached out to pick up another simulated gun that had fallen at its feet.]

[“Could it be that it is also——!?”]

【Seeing the opponent's action and the changing color in its eyes, Zaimokuza's mind immediately flashed back to No. 6, who was defeated by him before, and his heart sank to the bottom.】

Badjisu's subsequent actions confirmed his suspicions.

"Remember my name, Me-Badjisu-Ba, who killed you!"

An emerald-colored totem symbolizing "wind" appeared on its chest. Badjisu's dark silver belt around his waist spread green ripples as he roared. His form gradually shifted within the ripples. The totem on his left wing dissipated into green light particles as the ripples spread.

When the green ripples dissipated, Badjisu's figure had changed drastically. The four wings behind him had become six, smaller at the top and bottom and larger in the middle. Two shoulder blades similar to Zaimokuza's had grown on his empty shoulders. His dark silver belt was stained with a hint of emerald green, and thick wrist armor appeared on his hands.

The simulated firearm in its hand was eroded by the dark green light emerging from its palm. Its original length of nearly one meter shortened to about fifty centimeters. A pair of pitch-black, feather-like bows spread out to either side, transforming into a dark green handheld crossbow in Badjisu's hand.

【Me-Badjisu-Ba·Reinforced body·Shooting body.】

Badjisu raised the sinister-looking longbow and aimed it at Zaimokuza, standing across from him. A turquoise whirlwind gradually gathered at the firing port. He spoke softly, his voice as gentle as a lover's caress.

"Go to hell, Kuuga."

【"not good!"】

[Seeing the whirlwind gathering faster and faster at the shooting port when the opponent raised his bow, Zaimokuza immediately raised his Pegasus crossbow and wanted to fight back, but his sixth sense, which became extremely sharp after changing into Pegasus form, sent him an extremely strong alarm at this time, and the intensity of this alarm was unprecedented. ]

[——If I attack, I will die! Absolutely!]

He immediately followed his instinct and lowered the Pegasus crossbow, jumping to the side with all his might as Badjisu pulled the trigger!

【boom! 】

When the gathering wind stopped, Badjisu pulled the trigger, and a dark green arrow shot out from his crossbow, aiming at Zaimokuza, who was about to leave his spot.

[And just as the arrow was about to hit the target, it suddenly split in the middle, turning into countless arrows as thin as silver needles and shooting at everything in front of them, including the water slide in the swimming pool behind Zaimokuza! ]

【boom! ! ! 】

[A deafening roar sounded in his ears, and Kousaka Kyosuke immediately turned around to look. The scene he saw made his pupils shrink violently.]

【“What——”】6

[Not far away, the water slide, at least several stories high, gradually collapsed and scattered amidst the rising dust...]
