Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Chapter 423 Want to learn? I'll teach you
The more fearful a person is, the more he wants to prove himself.

At this moment, there was no room for any other choice in Mai Ye Shenli's mind.

"F-Flanda!"

The hair that was not tied up flew in the air flow.

A few strands of hair even blocked half of her vision as she ran.

But Mai Ye Shenli still ignored it, put his hands together, and rushed towards the shrinking Franda.

In the past, when she faced an enemy like Franda who had no power, in order not to give the enemy an excuse, she would even give up using her power and just use her wrist strength to suppress her opponent.

But now, in order to prove more quickly that it is not because he is too weak, but because Roland is too strong, Mai Ye Shenli himself does not have any shortcomings.

A green ball of light had gathered beside her, making a whistling sound like a sharp weapon breaking through the air.

In order to be able to defeat the enemy with one blow while carrying forward the unstoppable momentum, Mai Ye Shenli did not even use rays that might lose their accuracy, but chose the safe method of close-range coordination.

This was all the preparation she had made to face Flanda.

However, it is no wonder that Mai Ye Shenli would be so reckless. Flanda's expression of fear, which she could not even fake, was full of flaws.

Although she roughly guessed what kind of trump card Flanda might have obtained, for Maito, Flanda, the so-called partner, was just a weakling of this degree.

"The power of Atomic Disintegration is absolute. As long as I hit, I will win!"

The green beam of light gradually changed shape as Mai Ye Shenli stretched out his arm.

Mai Ye Shenli stared at the blonde girl in front of him, not missing any unusual movement.

Then--

"boom--!"

The field of vision suddenly reversed, and inertia also got out of control.

Mai Ye Shenli only felt as if she had collided with something. The powerful impact made her muscles and internal organs whine together. She could feel nothing in her mouth except for the fishy and sweet taste.

"...?"

Mai Ye Shenli staggered back a few steps, looking blankly at Franda who had not yet stopped punching, with a look of shock on his face.

But Flanda was even more shocked than her, even speechless.

She touched her unharmed fist, completely unable to comprehend what had happened.

Apart from using bombs, she is indeed good at physical skills, but she is nothing compared to Mugino who can defeat a powerful opponent with his own strength.

The most important thing is that, covered by the light of atomic collapse, Flandalen and Mai Ye Shenli did not have the courage to fight in close combat.

In countless missions in the past, many enemies who were evaporated midway have proved the danger of this with their lives.

"Didn't I tell you? You will win."

Roland held the wine glass, poured himself a glass of wine, and spoke quietly when the onlookers were speechless.

"I warned you at the beginning, don't be arrogant. I installed the latest generation of Dream Maker in Flanda. Don't underestimate it. Its status in Academy City is like that of a tree diagram designer."

"After being strengthened by it, even Flanda will show amazing fighting spirit and patience. What do you think? It's not too late to beg for mercy now."

Dream Maker Roland.

This is the latest achievement after incorporating Takitsubo Rikou's AIM stance algorithm. It uses the ability of Takitsubo Rikou, who also has the same model installed, to relay, allowing users to further connect with Roland, the source of power.

This not only strengthened the computing power of the first generation of dreamers, but also improved Roland's ability to control the users, allowing him to remotely control the actions of users who had installed the Roland from a distance.

Yes, it was Roland who was essentially playing for him just now.

It is impossible for Franda to reconstruct her past experiences in just three days and gain the power to defeat Mai Ye Shenli.

If the power of the Tree of Life was not used, even if Roland wanted to store magnetic field power for Flanda, with her current body, she could probably only store one electric current for propulsion.

However, the power of this electric current, combined with Roland's own perfect realm, is more than enough to defeat the current Mai Ye Shenli.

"It must be unpleasant to be stepped on by a friend who was once weaker than you, right? Mai Ye Shenli, how do you feel now? How do you feel?"

Roland's teasing laughter was like a heavy hammer, hitting Mai Ye Shenli's fragile heart hard.

But what hurt the girl's heart even more than this was the gazes from those around her.

The breathing sounds of the two girls in the distance were barely audible, but Mai Ye Shenli could clearly feel that their eyes were fixed on him.

But the emotion contained in his heart was definitely not the concern he felt when he saw her seriously injured three days ago, but confusion.

The reason for this change may be the distance.

Just like hearing that someone has won the lottery and hearing that someone you know has won the lottery will produce completely different psychological fluctuations.

Being defeated by an unknown enemy and being defeated by the familiar Flanda will only have a greater impact on the prop members than this metaphor.

But what was even more annoying than those two people was Flanda, who defeated him so easily.

But there was neither joy nor satisfaction in her eyes, only helplessness.

It was as if he didn't expect that he could defeat Mai Ye Shen Li, or rather... he didn't expect that Mai Ye Shen Li would be so weak in front of him.

This look, like waking up from a dream, is far more impressive than negative emotions such as anger and hatred.

Mai Ye Shenli clenched his fists tightly, his nails pierced the skin, and drops of blood slid down.

"That kind of thing... I don't care! Even if it's really the designer of the tree diagram who is doing the calculations, it can't change the gap in combat power between us!"

She roughly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, with violence and murderous intent visible to the naked eye on her face.

"I'm a Level 5 esper. I'm the fourth strongest 'Atomic Disintegration'! Don't get carried away, bastard! Even without lifting a finger, I can kill a powerless person like Frenda a thousand times————!"

"Then let me look forward to your performance. But if you fail to do so, don't blame me for making hundreds of millions of copies of today's video for the world to enjoy for free."

Roland stood aside with his hands folded, and spoke in a rather cheerful tone.

"After all, this is precious information about a person without abilities defeating a person with abilities. Isn't it a pity that only a few of us can see it?"

Faced with such a declaration, Mai Ye Shenli just closed his mouth, suppressed all the trembling in his heart with anger, and forced himself to focus on Flanda.

No matter what the process is, no matter how much it costs, she must prove that she is right.

and so--

"Frenda, I will definitely kill you!"

"Mai...Mai Ye?"

Looking at the aggressive Mai Ye, Frenda subconsciously took a step back.

"Why do you want to do this? You've heard what Lord Roland said. You can't possibly defeat me who has the Dream Maker... Isn't it better to just end it like this?"

The blonde girl's voice began to tremble as she began to cry.

On the one hand, it was because she finally realized that she was only a hair's breadth away from death.

On the other hand, there was the psychological pressure of attacking Mai Ye Shen Li. Although after obeying Roland, even if it was an order to kill Mai Ye Shen Li, Flanda could not disobey.

But in this process, she still felt a lot of guilt.

Since there is a way to protect everyone, why do you insist on going your own way?

"I beg you, Mai Ye, I cannot disobey orders, so just obey Lord Roland..."

While Franda was dodging Mai Ye Shen Li's attacks, she was begging him to stop.

But Mai Ye Shenli didn't say anything.

She simply continued to attack the weak Franda with even hotter and more brutal beams and more fierce attacks.

When there was no way to avoid it, Fran fought back again, forcing Mai Ye Shen Li to kneel down helplessly, but in return she only received Mai Ye Shen Li's extremely cold gaze.

Even Franda couldn't beg any more.

If her body had not moved spontaneously, she would have been killed by Mai Ye Shenli more than ten times.

Even a clay figure has temper, let alone Franda, who regards survival as everything.

Her body trembled slightly, and for the first time she took the initiative to punch Mai Ye Shen Li, knocking her down again.

"What on earth do you want, Mugino? You won't be satisfied until you kill me!"

"The betrayer must die!"

Seeing Franda, who was always well-behaved in front of him, showing such a tough look, Mai Ye Shenli was stunned at first, but the ferocity in his tone remained unchanged.

Whenever she did this in the past, Flanda would immediately become weak.

But today, the opponent just gritted his teeth and punched down hard again.

"Why are you still obsessed with ITEM from the past? Besides, ITEM is called ITEM because of each of us! It is not your private property!"

There was also a raging fire of anger in Flanda's eyes.

Being able to join the scum-filled Anbu at the age of a high school student and thrive in it, Franda's determination is definitely not inferior to anyone in ITEM.

Therefore, the good intentions given by putting aside dignity were trampled on by Mai Ye Shen Li's stubbornness again and again.

When the good times they had spent as partners in the past were thrown aside with disdain, she finally exploded.

"Besides, if we really want to talk about ITEM's betrayer, it should be you!"

"We are all alive, and we don't have to worry about the higher-ups hunting us down because of mission failures and power changes. If you really value ITEM, why do you always do things that contradict yourself?"

Franda punched down with one punch after another, transforming all of Mai Ye Shenli's roars into painful groans.

"We have fallen to this point because of Mugino's stubbornness! If you really value your companions and this organization, you should not do anything dangerous that will cause trouble!"

Faced with such direct words, Mai Ye Shenli's struggle inevitably paused for a moment.

Whether she was willing to admit it or not, as Frenda said, it was she who caused things to turn out this way.

But the girl's roar had not stopped yet.

"Besides, you can't beat Roland yourself, so why are you taking it out on me?"

"Do you have to kill your companions just to regain your self-esteem?"

As if she wanted to vent all the resentment and fear from the past, Flanders attacks became more and more ferocious.

After who knows how many punches, Mai Ye Shenli's body completely lost its strength, and the green light around him dissolved into the air and gradually disappeared.

The outcome has been decided.

Juanqi was stunned by the sight.

Whether it was Franda, who was always bullied, who withstood the random atomic destruction, or she defeated Mai Ye Shenli perfectly with her delicate and exquisite skills like a work of art.

Or perhaps the words that seemed to have caused an internal conflict due to Roland had caused quite a shock to her, who had spent the first half of her life in the laboratory.

She turned her head and looked at Takitsubo Riki next to her, and found that the other person's performance was not much better than hers.

In the face of this scene of the inferior overthrowing the superior, although there was no restriction on speech, Takitsubo Rikou just opened her mouth and finally chose to remain silent.

"Hey, I...defeated Mugino?"

After gradually calming down her emotions while gasping for breath, Franda regained the upper hand when she looked at Mai Ye Shenli, whose face was covered in blood and who was motionless. She wanted to reach out and help her up, but she was afraid that she would suddenly go berserk and kill her.

But Roland didn't have so many concerns.

He walked calmly to Mai Ye Shenli, squatted down, and gently brushed away the other's blood-stained hair.

"Ms. Mugino, have you made up your mind now?"

After hearing Roland's voice, Mai Ye Shenli forced himself to turn his head, stared at him, and revealed a self-deprecating smile.

"You who can let the powerless defeat the super-powered, do you really need my power?"

"Let's put it this way. These are two different tracks after all, and your potential is enough for me to extend an invitation."

Roland gently stroked Mai Ye Shenli's face and said without hesitation.

After a long while, when her breathing became barely perceptible, the girl withdrew her gaze and spoke in a weak voice.

"I won't beg for mercy."

Roland was startled by the incoherent words, and then he realized that this was the girl's response to his previous ridicule.

"It doesn't matter. When everything you have belongs to me, this level can no longer be called toughness, but tsundere."

Roland blinked.

"Besides, I've heard enough of this kind of begging for mercy in the past three days."

Mai Ye Shenli was stunned at first, but immediately reacted to the meaningful words and glared at Roland with a slightly red face.

"That power, the power that just allowed Flanda and the previous psychological control to burst out with power far greater than their own, what is it called?"

"The magnetic field rotates."

An invisible force began to spread, reorganizing the cells in the girl's body and dispelling all previous weakness.

Although he had experienced this many times in the past three days, the corners of Mai Ye Shenli's mouth still twitched unconsciously.

Godlike power.

This power completely breaks the convention that Academy City's inherent abilities only involve one area.

From repairing injuries and adjusting the body, from defense to power, even if you are a super power person, you cannot suppress your yearning and desire for it.

Roland raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said meaningfully.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."
