There are two runes on the hilt of the sword; you can stimulate them with your magic, and you'll be in for a surprise!
Seeing Kanna-chan's skilled movements, Nian finally relaxed. Before, she was a bit worried if such a versatile weapon would be effective in Kanna-chan's hands, but it seems that Kanna-chan shows no signs of awkwardness when using it.
This proves that the weapon Nian and the Fire God created together would not be wasted due to the user's inexperience.
Kanna-chan looked at the sword hilt in her hand. Indeed, there were two runes on it. She had previously thought they were just decorative patterns carved casually, but after Nian's reminder, she realized they were runes to trigger some effect.
First, she pressed the lower rune with her finger and channeled a bit of energy into it. The next second, the entire weapon turned fiery red, and a wave of heat accompanied by flames appeared on the weapon.
The crowd, who had approached after seeing Kanna-chan's cool weapon, were blown back by the heatwave and quickly retreated, fearing they might accidentally catch fire.
At this point, Kanna-chan also understood that the lower rune's effect was to imbue the weapon with fire power. Thinking of the previous weapon's ice and fire properties, she immediately guessed, 'Could the upper rune be for ice?'
However, she didn't switch directly. After all, the weapon was burning red, and if it suddenly turned cold, most metals she knew would suffer severe damage from such a drastic temperature change.
"Don't worry, my unique magic is mixed in there. Just use it boldly, not a single problem will arise!" Nian, who was standing closest, saw the surprise and hesitation on Kanna-chan's face and guessed her thoughts, so she patted her chest and guaranteed.
With Nian's assurance, Kanna-chan gently stimulated the weapon with her magic, and the entire weapon instantly changed from fiery red to dark blue, emitting an icy chill.
What could Kanna-chan be dissatisfied with? After all, she could easily trigger both Superconduct and Overload reactions by herself, and the weapon's arbitrary transformations allowed her combat style to not be confined to normal engagements. With all sorts of flashy ideas, she could also use this weapon to perform more tricks in different environments.
"Just slashing at the air is boring, want to spar a bit?" Seeing the weapon in Kanna-chan's hand constantly switching between red and black, and its form continuously changing, Nian wanted to understand Kanna-chan's practical control over the weapon.
"Okay! You have to be careful, my drill can pierce the heavens!" After Nian swung her shield and stood firm, she saw the greatsword in Kanna-chan's hand combine into a giant drill, and then the entire weapon turned fiery red, emitting an intense heat.
Accompanied by Kanna-chan's eager voice, Nian saw the spinning drill charging towards her.
"Hey, hey, hey! Why do I feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot..." Seeing Kanna-chan charging at high speed, Nian still had the presence of mind to grumble. Then, under everyone's gaze, the drill slammed into Nian's shield, and then Kanna-chan sent both Nian and her shield flying.
Nian twisted her body in mid-air to maintain balance, then turned to look at Kanna-chan on the ground. Not only was she not afraid, but she also had a happy expression.
"Hahahaha, as expected, you are the most interesting! Now, how will you break this move!"
With a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, Nian, using the speed of her free fall from the air, crashed towards Kanna-chan like a meteor.
Nian had expected Kanna-chan to transform her weapon into a shield to block her 'Flying Dragon from Beyond the Heavens' attack, but Kanna-chan had no intention of defending at all.
"I have a good friend on Rhodes Island, her name is Tortoise. Her favorite sport is baseball, and I learned this move from her game. Taste my 'Home Run'!"
Kanna-chan gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and the greatsword transformed into a thick club. Aiming at Nian's falling position, Kanna-chan swung the club from bottom to top.
"A-lay-lay! I will definitely be back!"
Nian, who hadn't expected Kanna-chan to be so fierce, blocked herself with her shield at the last moment, and was then sent flying into the air again.
Next, everyone witnessed what Yan's special skill, 'playing small ball,' was all about.
From baseball bats to ping-pong paddles to tennis rackets, Kanna-chan repeatedly changed weapons, hitting the falling Nian back into the air dozens of meters high.
"Oh my goodness, can't you let me land..."
"Ah ah ah, going up and down, my head's starting to spin..."
"It's over, if my brothers and sisters back home find out about this, I'll probably be mocked for life..."
For Nian and Kanna-chan, given their physical fitness and strength, this was a fun game. However, in the eyes of others, it was incredibly terrifying.
Judging by Nian still having the presence of mind to talk and complain during each launch, despite such terrifying repeated blows, neither party seemed to be hurt.
Nian finally landed on the ground after Kanna-chan couldn't think of any more sports.
The moment her feet touched the ground, Nian suddenly felt like crying tears of joy. Although it wasn't long, all those ups and downs, to say there weren't any psychological issues, would be a lie.
With her strong physical and mental fortitude, Nian quickly adapted to the constant ups and downs. However, she also realized that she had no way to counter Kanna-chan's offense, and from their few exchanges, it was clear Kanna-chan was still holding back.
So, after landing, Nian put away her equipment and immediately gave up. "No more, no more fighting. If we keep going, I'll lose all my face."
"Can I play for a bit?!" Kanna-chan jogged to Nian with her weapon raised.
Earlier, she found it fun to send Nian flying, but as she kept playing, she suddenly thought, 'Isn't being sent flying repeatedly even more fun?' It was truly a human trampoline. Kanna-chan, her playful side emerging, looked around at her teammates and realized that Nian was the only one who could do what she had just done, so she excitedly ran over.
"You mean, I get to send you flying?" Nian asked, looking at the weapon extended towards her, a bit puzzled.
"Yes! You can't be the only one flying around for fun, I want to too!" Kanna-chan said excitedly, handing the sword hilt to Nian.
Nian reflected for a moment... Although she had been too shocked by constantly being sent flying to notice the fun in it, looking back, it was quite interesting.
"Alright, here, take this shield. It's not heavy, but the quality is good, so flying a few times shouldn't be a problem."
Amidst the renewed horrified gazes of the others, the two swapped positions, with Nian now below, repeatedly sending Kanna-chan into the air with the versatile weapon.
Listening to the happy laughter, Anto asked Blue Poison with a look of exasperation,
"Is this how Captain Kanna-chan usually plays?"
