Chapter 184: Shocking Theresa's First Punch
After arriving at the training ground, the girl in front of him was looking at him as if he were a pervert.
"…Not really, right?"
"Snort!"
Theresa curled her lips and said:
"Okay, let's get started once you're ready. Don't worry, I won't be too harsh."
After a pause, she continued:
"If I win, I'm going to have a bitter melon dinner tonight!"
"So...what if I win?"
Looking at the girl in front of him who was rubbing her hands ready to fight, Kirataka asked calmly.
"If you win... then I'll let you do whatever you want for a day."
Theresa answered casually.
"...really?"
Kirataka narrowed his eyes.
This kind of commitment is quite "dangerous" and most of the time it is equivalent to setting a flag for yourself.
"Of course, Kirataka, do you think you can beat me?"
Theresa said confidently.
She is the principal of the academy. Although she no longer frequently appears on the front line, she was an S-class Valkyrie in the past.
Moreover, the last time they had actual combat training in the academy, Kirataka was knocked away by her punch.
After thinking about it, she simply said:
"As long as you can cause effective damage to me once, you will win, how about that?"
Such rules are already quite beneficial to Kirataka.
"That's what you said."
"Yeah, that's what I said."
The "bet" has been made and the battle is about to begin.
Kirataka didn't have any weapons with him, so he simply picked out a suitable weapon from the standard weapons rack next to the training ground.
——Because he has been learning the Cunxin Fist from the Immortal recently, he chose a pair of boxing gloves as a weapon to deal with Theresa.
His fists touched each other in front of him, making a crisp sound.
"I'm ready."
"Well, then you attack first."
Theresa gave the right to attack to Kirataka.
As an elder and senior, she would naturally not take the initiative to attack, just like when she was sparring with Anna just now, letting them challenge her.
And this is what Kirataka expected.
"Sigh..."
The control of lightning and the Inch Heart Fist...
As his mind moved, streaks of lightning appeared around his body.
This is his usual move, using the electric current covering his body to improve his physical performance, and he can also use the electric current to paralyze the enemies he comes into contact with.
However, this technique is fine when dealing with miscellaneous soldiers, but it is not very useful when facing enemies of the same level or even higher levels.
——For example, with a physique like Fu Hua, she would not be harmed at all even if she could withstand a current of one million volts.
Without considering using the two trump cards of [Infinity] and [Projection Magic], it would not be easy for him to defeat Theresa by relying only on fighting skills and electromagnetic abilities.
Moreover, the longer the battle lasts, the harder it will be for him to defeat his opponent.
If it comes to a competition of endurance, he is definitely no match for Theresa, who has merged with Vishnu, so he has to strive for a quick victory.
Let victory or defeat be decided in a flash.
To this end, Kirataka is going to try...
He took a deep breath and further increased the power capacity of his body.
Endless lightning kept gathering on his body, and the dazzling light covered his torso, making it impossible for others to see clearly.
At the same time, his aura became more and more powerful, and even Theresa had to show a cautious expression and take it seriously.
After the lightning gathered at a certain node, it stopped growing.
The next moment, Kirataka's body disappeared from the spot and suddenly appeared in front of the white-haired girl.
Electromagnetic control was the first ability he acquired. After he gained other powers later, he never stopped developing this power and was always thinking about how to make better use of it.
For long-range combat, there is the electromagnetic gun, but for close combat...
That was his answer.
——Release all the electric current in an instant to achieve an explosive effect beyond the limit.
Instead of pursuing long-term state improvement, we focus on improving short-term explosive ability.
Although using an electric current that exceeds the body's capacity to forcibly stimulate strength will put a certain burden on his body, it is also very effective.
"So… so fast!"
She did know that Kirataka and Kiana were learning Fu Hua's Shenzhou boxing, and had also practiced several rounds with Fu Hua.
But what Theresa didn't expect was that he improved so quickly.
Judging from the force she endured when blocking the attack, he was already quite proficient in Fu Hua's boxing.
Moreover, this speed... It wasn't this fast during the last combat training course -
In short, the girl didn't have time to think too much, and relied on her instincts from years of fighting to defend against Kirataka's first wave of attacks.
At the same time, she also summoned four Judah chains and attacked in the direction of Kirataka.
Judah has the function of automatically tracking targets containing Honkai energy, so she doesn't need to distract herself to control it.
The chain naturally missed, Kirataka's figure kept flashing, and the next moment he came behind the girl and punched her again.
"…Tsk!"
Theresa turned around and blocked the punch. Their fists collided, and both of them stepped back a little.
And the next moment, their figures completely disappeared, and they quickly started fighting on the field.
Kirataka's momentum was strong at first, then weak and finally exhausted, while Theresa, who was caught off guard at first, gradually adapted to it.
Finally, during one of their fights, the girl found an opportunity to clench her fist and said with some pride:
"Hey, I caught it."
Although she was indeed caught off guard at first, she managed to cope with it.
Feeling the electric current in Kirataka's body gradually diminishing, she knew that his explosive state had come to an end.
Faced with such a result, Kirataka of course had only one choice.
[Time Rewind]!
…
In this world, no matter which "self-destruction tactics" are used, there will be a fatal flaw - if the attack launched at a huge cost does not achieve the corresponding results and is avoided or defended by the opponent, then the investment will be wasted and the opponent will fall into a long period of weakness and be at the mercy of others.
Therefore, most people will only use the tactic of self-destruction to try to die together with the other party when their lives are at stake and they have no choice but to fight for their lives.
But for Kirataka, who can keep repeating himself to ensure better results, the cost of this tactic is not that great. It is better to say that it is under his control.
Whether the attack can achieve the corresponding results, to what extent the damage to his body will be, how to hold on after failure, how to adjust to ensure that his attack can actually hit the opponent... All of this future is visible and selectable to him.
Therefore, he only needs to repeat it again and again to fine-tune his tactics to ensure that he can achieve the desired results.
Just like now——
After repeating it several times, Kirataka finally figured out Theresa's defense method. He crossed the chains of Judah, blocked Theresa's defense, and allowed his attack to actually reach her body.
[Inch power, open the sky, change]!
The powerful blow mixed with lightning knocked the girl straight away. This blow injected Kirataka's fist intent and all the lightning into it, knocking Theresa to the edge of the training ground.
Because everything happened so quickly, the members of the Snow Lotus Team who were watching the battle nearby could hardly see anything clearly.
Only Wendy caught a glimpse of the moment of the battle and had a new understanding of Kirataka's strength.
"ha..."
He panted and released the explosive mode, and the soreness in his muscles suddenly surged up.
'Well... let's just name this move [One Punch Shura]. Okay, ahem, forget it.'
What he did just now was not his limit, and there was still a lot of room for improvement. However, if he continued to push himself further, it would cause considerable damage to both Theresa's body and his own body.
It was just a sparring match, so he had to stop there. He couldn't really beat Theresa so hard that she would have problems...
Having said that, as a fusion warrior, Theresa already has the ability to recover quickly and even regenerate broken limbs, so this punch shouldn't be a big deal.
Kirataka raised his head and looked. The smoke in the distance dissipated, and a white-haired girl crawled out of the rubble in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
The surprise attack was successful, and he did cause effective damage to Theresa.
The thing that Kirataka hit was her abdomen. The clothes that originally covered it had been crushed into ashes by the punches and electric current, revealing the smooth skin hidden underneath.
On her lower abdomen, the fist mark left by Kirataka was still clearly visible, but it was also recovering rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The girl showed a painful expression, covered her lower abdomen, and walked back, complaining:
"It hurts, it hurts, Kirataka you..."
She didn't know whether to be happy, angry, or scared.
She was happy because Kirataka's strength surprised her. As the principal, she naturally hoped that her students would become stronger and stronger.
She is angry because... This guy doesn't know how to be gentle with women, he punched her hard in the stomach, it hurts so much...
As for fear...
she was too arrogant before the battle. Now, she has to let him do whatever he wants for a whole day...
In an instant, all the plots from those strange comic books she read every day flooded into her mind.
"I won."
Kirataka stretched out his hand with some pride.
"snort!"
The girl pouted and turned her head away.
"The principal is not going to default on her debt, is she?"
"Of course not! But...but..."
She whispered:
"Bitter melon feast…"
"...Okay, okay, I'll do it. I'll do it."
Let Theresa buy the bitter melon herself.
.........
After Theresa, Kirataka, and Wendy left, only the girls from the Snow Lotus team were left on the combat training ground.
Just when Anna was about to pack up and leave with her teammates, she suddenly found that three cute girls had surrounded them, and they all had a subtle smile on their faces.
"What...what happened?"
Anna felt something was strange.
"Captain~"
"Just after Lady Theresa and Kirataka finished their battle, you seemed to be staring at Kirataka the whole time."
"Everyone noticed it~"
"Hey, is this true?!"
The girl replied in a panic.
Once she concentrates too much, she becomes self-absorbed and ignores her surroundings.
"Hey, Captain, your eyes are too direct. It's impossible not to notice it."
"I've been watching since Lady Theresa and the others arrived!"
"Is it really...that straight?"
The girl asked weakly.
"Yeah, of course. Besides, that boy looks like the type the captain would like."
"Well, you misunderstood..."
Anna argued quietly.
This was such a weak explanation that even she herself probably wouldn't believe it.
"So...what happened between the boy named Kirataka and the captain?"
"That's right, we are so curious!"
This might be related to the captain's emotional history, so the girls surrounded her and started to make a noise.
"You guys…"
Anna sighed and said:
"I'll tell you guys after today's training is all over."
She can't keep perfunctory. The Snow Lotus team who have returned to the branch for training temporarily live together in a dormitory. She will slowly talk to them when she free in the evening...
