The explosion did not happen?
Knife-cutting frowned. Could it be that he was wrong about the horse riding battle?
Destroying Prunus' clay did not cause an explosion?
Knife-cutting had a moment of doubt in his mind. Seeing that the clay bird was about to complete its last wing, he immediately rushed to where Prunus was, but he did not expect that as he took a step, Prunus made five long clay needles from the palm of her hand and threw them in the direction of Knife-cutting.
Knife-cutting dodged backward, but he was surprised to find that Prunus' target was not him, but the small clay animal on the ground that he had stabbed!
A trace of confusion flashed in his mind, but in the next second, he understood and hurriedly stretched out his hand to make a defensive gesture —
"Boom —!"
Almost at the same time Knife-cutting raised his hand, the moment the long needles thrown by Prunus pierced into the clay animal's "corpse," the clay exploded — a series of "boom" sounded in front of Knife-cutting, and because five clay needles exploded at the same time, the scale of the explosion was far more powerful than the one during the horse riding battle!
Knife-cutting dodged with a somersault and stabbed his sword into the ground to stabilize his body — and Prunus, who had already anticipated the explosion, did not waste the gap created by Knife-cutting's buffer. Taking advantage of the smoke, she rushed to the clay bird and injected the last "material" into it. Although it took a lot of time, the bird was finally completed — the giant clay bird flapped its wings, made a chirping gesture, and flapped its wings to fly into the air.
"... Tsk!"
After the smoke dispersed, Knife-cutting, who had been blown up by the explosion, looked at the giant clay bird flying in the air unwillingly and complained to Prunus, "You didn't tell me that your clay could explode!"
Even so, you still dodged it!
On the other side, Prunus did not reply. She only frowned. Knife-cutting was really not easy to deal with. She really did not expect him to be able to react in that instant and make a defensive gesture in an instant...
Prunus looked up at the bird hovering in the air and reached out to make a knife that was similar to the Knife-cutting knife. Before the clay bird was fully "prepared," she had to buy some time!
With this thought in mind, Prunus slowly took a few steps back and distanced itself from Knife-cutting.
Knife-cutting raised his eyebrows. Was that proof that she did not intend to fight him in close combat?
In that case, he had to use close combat to determine the winner. Especially since he had already proven the explosive ability of the clay, he couldn't leave the girl's hands empty. Otherwise, she would create more troublesome clay.
With this thought in mind, Knife-cutting did not hesitate to pull out his knife and rush forward, "B * stard!"
Prunus immediately continued to make clay figures to act as "shields" to block Knife-cutting's attack for her. Then, she jumped back one after another to avoid Knife-cutting's attack.
"... If you have the guts, don't dodge!"
Knife-cutting frowned. He did not know what this slow-tempered girl was planning. He looked at his clay-stained knife impatiently. Unknowingly, it had become heavy and slow. He clicked his tongue and broke the blade again, thinking about what kind of weapon to use next... No, Knife-cutting's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
That's right... Since she did not hesitate to blow him up, he should use that on her as well!
Knife-cutting's lips curled up into a wicked smile. He looked at his empty hands and immediately approached Prunus at an extremely fast speed. Prunus was shocked and dodged his attack by somersaulting backwards. However, she did not expect that Knife-cutting would still approach her with his hands.
What was he trying to do?
He had not made a sword yet!
However, Prunus, who had just somersaulted backwards, could not dodge his attack again. She could only watch as Knife-cutting approached her and reached out to block his attack.
"... You are not the only one with a new move!"
Knife-cutting frowned. He felt that the cooldown on his right hand had passed. He immediately made a one-meter long blade and stabbed it directly at Prunus.
Prunus was shocked. She stretched out her hands to make a large amount of clay to block Knife-cutting's attack. However, she did not expect that Knife-cutting would suddenly tighten his grip, and the long knife would suddenly split into two, and then into four. Prunus did not expect this sudden change of trajectory at all.
She only saw a silver light flash in front of her eyes. With a tearing sound, her arm and the sports uniform she was wearing were cut open by Knife-cutting's sword. A large area of her snow-white skin and cleavage was suddenly exposed.
Prunus's face turned red. She covered her bleeding and stinging arm. Then, she heard the sound of the honeyed gentleman in the stadium gasping.
It was probably because of the girl's turbulent breasts.
...
Feng Da, the gentleman representative in the audience, felt a pain in his nasal cavity. Blood flowed out of his nose. He plucked two grapes from the top of his head and stuffed them into his nostrils. He sighed. "This year's first-year students are even worse than Explode last year. This should be the so-called sports festival's benefit..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Feng Da was once again turned into an icicle.
Feng Da: Bastard, what the hell do you want to do this time... "
Iida immediately covered Iida's mouth and forced him to leave the group. "Feng Da, shut up!
Boom, standing behind you, he looks very angry. "
Feng Da looked at Boom with difficulty. Trembling, he decided to let Iida manually remove him from the group.
After Feng Da left, Boom's eyes were still fixed on Knife-cutting. Although his cheeks were suspiciously red, his tone and eyes were very serious. "Dehisa, let go of me."
Dehisa was panicking. She shook her head like a rattle. "I won't let go. I really won't let go."
This was the sports festival's Bang King, who was not allowed to kill people!
...
...
"... I'm sorry!"
When he returned to the arena, Knife-cutting was shocked by the effect of his attack. Although he attacked deliberately, he did not expect that his attack would cause Prunus such embarrassment. Knife-cutting, who appeared to be a bully on the surface, was actually a good boy. Without saying a word, he took off his sports uniform and threw it to Prunus. "... Hurry up and put it on, you bastard!"
Prunus's cheeks were still red. Although she did not want to accept Knife-cutting's help, it was very inconvenient for a girl to continue fighting when her clothes were torn. Thinking of this, Prunus squatted down and picked up Knife-cutting's clothes. Then, she put it on shyly.
Knife-cutting turned his head away awkwardly. "Let me say this first... I didn't do it on purpose!"
Slash could not believe that he had made such a blunder. Wouldn't the professional heroes of the country change their impression of him from an iron-blooded man to a pervert?
Knife-cutting felt a little dizzy. Speaking of which, Prunus's body was the most offensive part!
Wait a minute, he should end this terrible topic...
Knife-cutting shook his head and gripped his sword tightly. He wanted to win this fair and square... No, he was just being careless!
Knife-cutting's mouth twitched. Then, he fixed his gaze on Prunus.
It would have been better if he had not seen it. The moment he saw it, he was agitated by the sight of Bai Jian clumsily wearing his sports attire that was one size too big. His face turned red and he shook his head in confusion.
An Qiu, who had been watching the match from the lounge, crossed her arms and looked at Knife-cutting's shy expression on the TV screen. Then, she sighed with understanding, "... Tsk, what a stupid adolescent."
His thoughts were written all over his face, Knife-cutting.
...
"Seriously... I've had enough!"
Knife-cutting could not get the scene out of his mind. Thus, he decided not to get close to Prunus for the time being. With this thought in mind, Knife-cutting used his free left hand to make many small throwing knives and threw them in the direction of Prunus. Prunus dodged again. Then, her expression changed...
While she was dawdling with Knife-cutting, her "thing" was ready!
Prunus looked up and saw the clay bird she had made at the beginning of the match. At this moment, its abdomen was extremely swollen.
Prunus smiled and made a long knife with her right hand. Then, she threw it at the bird in the air.
"... What?!"
Knife-cutting was shocked by Prunus' sudden action. The farce just now was so exciting that he almost forgot that there was a bird circling above his head. He looked up and saw that after the knife Prunus threw cut open the bird's abdomen, many egg-shaped objects fell from Knife-cutting's head. Knife-cutting instinctively reached out to block them, but was stopped by Prunus' flying needles.
The audience saw hundreds of plastic bombs falling from the sky at high speed like hailstones. Together with the long needles thrown by Prunus, the white particles bloomed in the air like fireworks. The rumbling sounds of Explode's explosions were endless. It looked like the explosion in the match between Explode and Reishi last year.
"Bang King, is that Prunus' improved clay?
The attack power of that explosion is too shocking! "
Dehisa said in surprise as she clenched the railing with both hands. She was stunned as she watched the firecracker-like explosions drown out Knife-cutting.
"Yes, thanks to the invention department. She took a lot of time to adapt …" Prunus nodded seriously. In the process of adapting, she was covered in cuts and bruises. But looking at the results, Prunus' decision to improve the clay was very worthwhile. Especially the move of the giant bird that was full of bullets. When it was fully "prepared", the power was so great that he had no choice but to use his full strength to block it.
Boom! His gaze landed on Bai Jian's body, and the price of using this move was that Bai Jian's stamina would be greatly depleted, because the amount of clay needed to create that large bird was really too much, and she would be exhausted very quickly.
So, this move had to take down Knife-cutting. Otherwise, it would be terrible. Bang frowned.
...
Fortunately, Prunus was not able to completely block Knife-cutting's attack. Countless bullets exploded in front of Knife-cutting. The explosion alone was enough to throw Knife-cutting backwards. Especially when the cautious Prunus let the bird that was hovering above take advantage of this opportunity to dive down and push Knife-cutting out of the field.
Knife-cutting was almost unable to react before he was sent flying out of the field. He was even covered in dust from the explosion.
It seemed that Knife-cutting was destined to have a hard time defending against Prunus' attack, as it did not have a large area of effect.
...
[Beep beep — The match is over. The winner is Prunus Almond from Class 1-A!!]
Then, the audience burst into thunderous applause, including Bang, who smiled as if relieved of a heavy burden.
When Prunus heard the news of her victory, she instantly fell to the ground in relief. She was already very tired. She had made more clay than she should have in the previous battle. The wounds that she had received from Knife-cutting were also bleeding profusely. Her sweat and blood mixed together and soaked her sports uniform. She panted as she wiped the wounds on her face caused by the explosion. She did not know why, but she raised her head while panting.
Then, she caught sight of the conspicuous young man in red and white standing in the middle of the audience without warning.
So, he came to see her?
Bai Jian's face was filled with astonishment for a few seconds. She looked at the half-red, half-white boy from afar and immediately suppressed the exhaustion on her face. She then showed him a bright and cute smile and mouthed silently to him, "… I did it!"
After she finished speaking, her eyes curved into crescents and her smile became even more radiant. The warm afternoon sun shone on the young girl whose face was covered in dust, coating her with a layer of dazzling radiance.
After this fierce battle, the girl immediately discovered him, and only showed him her best smile to report the results of the battle. It seemed as if there were only the two of them in the world.
Bang, who had been watching Prunus from the stands, stared blankly at the petite girl who was shining brightly under the sun. He did not know why, but his cheeks turned red. How did she find him in such a crowded environment?
Suddenly, Bang remembered what Prunus said to him this morning. "I was looking for you, just like fate."
Thinking of this, Bang's face unconsciously curved into a helpless smile.
Really, from the beginning... he could not do anything about this girl.
...
...
[Thus, the first individual battle of the Grade One Sports Festival came to an end with a wonderful ending —!]
[What?
You want to go to the toilet?
You want to go home?
NOOOOOo —!
The exciting battle for victory and defeat has just begun!]
[Once again, congratulations to Misss Prunus for successfully advancing to the next round!
Also, please do not leave your seats —]
Mike -sensei looked at Prunus who was carried out on a stretcher and Knife-cutting who had lost consciousness. He held Mike and leaned forward. His tone became more and more excited: [Five minutes later, the second battle of life and death will begin!
The contestants are... OHhhh!
It's actually Asakura Yasuaki from Class 1-A and Kobayashi Tomoki from Class 1-B!]
[What?
Not interested?
NOooo！
If you don't know, let me, Brecht Mike, explain to you that Kobayashi classmate is actually from...]
...
"... So noisy."
An Qiu, who had not finished listening to Mike -sensei's DJ, covered her ears with her hands. She did not like Mike -sensei's DJ broadcast. It was too exaggerated.
She just wanted to finish the competition quietly.
