Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

The place should have been deserted, but the school gate was densely packed with people.

Makoto Haramura.

Stella.

The Kurogane siblings.

Kafuu Bidan.

Touka Toudou.

Nagi Arisouin.

"Are we the only ones?"

The wealthy young lady, holding a parasol, whispered softly in Makoto Haramura's ear.

"Facing that kind of lineup, there's no point in calling other students. Blade Arts fights aren't just about numbers."

"Besides, don't they have a puppeteer? More people would only add unnecessary trouble."

Makoto Haramura sighed.

"They're here, Makoto."

At that moment, Touka Toudou abruptly opened her tightly closed eyes and spoke.

The intruders were already clearly visible.

They appeared from the other end of the horizon, their figures emerging on the slope of the mountain road.

With absolutely no intention of hiding, they brazenly and openly walked towards Makoto Haramura's group.

There was a blonde girl wearing only an apron stained with paint all over.

There was a pink-haired loli riding a large lion, accompanied by a maid.

There was a tall man wearing a smiling mask, his overall attire no different from a clown.

There was a petite girl wielding a chainsaw, her expression exceptionally fierce.

There was a boy with short blonde hair, a small build, and a face resembling a pretty boy, giving off a weak and gentle vibe.

And there was a long-haired swordsman holding a three-meter-long sword, dressed like a samurai from the Edo period.

"Just as I guessed."

"Amane Shinonomiya, Ouma Kurogane, Reizumi Hiraga, Sarah Labradrilly, Yui Tataragi, Rinna Kazamatsuri!"

Chapter 103: Long-Awaited

"As expected, when the mission report didn't come back, I suspected the plan might have been exposed."

"But you few alone want to stop us?"

The wind howled fiercely on the slope, flapping Ouma Kurogane's loose kimono sleeves, and his voice rang out.

"It's enough."

"Do you really think you're that strong?"

Makoto Haramura scoffed, his Astral Device directly manifesting in his hands, his gaze skipping past Ouma Kurogane and fixing on Amane Shinonomiya.

"Also, we meet again, Amane Shinonomiya. Aren't you going to show off your clumsy acting here today?"

"Oh, oh, we meet again, Makoto."

Amane Shinonomiya's face was truly filled with a pure smile like a child, but her drooping eyes and the unnatural curve of her lips showed the malice that already filled her.

"I'm so happy."

"As for why I'm not acting, it's because I don't need to act at all."

"Isn't reality already in front of you?"

"However, I don't see any surprise on your face."

Amane Shinonomiya's mouth still held that evil smile as she tilted her head.

"What's there to be surprised about?"

"Weren't you the one who first aroused my suspicion?!"

"Deliberately coming to my attention, revealing flaws in front of me, what, are you trying to test my IQ?"

The atmosphere between the two sides became even more tense, not only on Makoto Haramura's side, but also on Ouma Kurogane's side, where all the Astral Devices were manifested.

"Well, it was just a temporary whim."

"But I didn't expect you to be able to investigate so much."

"In that case, the mission doesn't seem easy to complete."

Charlotte Corday, wearing a maid's uniform, muttered to herself while standing next to the lion.

"It's nothing."

The one who answered Charlotte's words was not her young mistress, Rinna Kazamatsuri, but rather Ouma Kurogane, who stood with his sword in his arms.

"Anyway, we'll have to face them eventually. It doesn't matter whether we complete the mission first or later."

"Moreover, it won't take much time."

"That's true."

Reizumi Hiraga pushed his clown mask. Although the real expression under the mask couldn't be seen, the abnormal, eerie laughter continued to spread.

"Then we won't be polite, hee hee hee."

Reizumi Hiraga directly waved his hand.

The sense of urgency in the space instantly boiled over.

The students from Akatsuki Academy on both sides all stepped forward at the same time.

"Move out."

Ouma Kurogane snorted coldly.

It was as if he had fired the starting signal for the battle.

"Clang——"

Along with the low hum of the air, a transparent slash exceeding ten meters detached from the blade, cut through the atmosphere, and slashed out.

But equally.

Makoto Haramura also raised the Amatsuki in his hand, and the blood-red sword light also detached from the blade, colliding with that wind blade with unparalleled power.

The trembling hum was as if the atmosphere was making a painful hobby.

The collision of the hurricane and the sword light directly turned into the most primitive energy shock wave, scattered in all directions.

The ground cracked, the lawn was lifted, and even the surrounding trees suffered fundamental damage.

"Coming up like this, Ouma Kurogane, you're still as rude as last time."

"I just don't want to waste time and effort."

"Besides, you seem to have gotten stronger. It will be more worthwhile to defeat you now."

Ouma Kurogane seemed not to want to waste extra time, using cold words, speaking while speaking.

"Get out of the way!"

Saying so, Ouma Kurogane raised the great sword in his hand high.

But this time, Ouma Kurogane did not chop down the great sword in his hand, but instead burst out all his magic power.

"Bang——"

As the magic power surged wildly, on Ouma Kurogane's body, a terrifying and chilling storm suddenly appeared, just like a tornado in nature, appearing without warning, directly rising up and rushing into the clouds.

In an instant, the surrounding ground was torn apart.

Countless rubble and gravel were drawn out and rolled into the tornado. This time, even the surrounding trees were not allowed to be left with their roots, and were directly uprooted. Even the buildings were constantly shaking, but the things that were rolled into the tornado were torn to pieces.

"Damn it, this madman."

Ouma Kurogane's other companions, who were originally ready to go, left Ouma Kurogane at the same time.

"Being caught in this thing is no joke."

"Ouma Kurogane is left to me."

"You guys take care of the others. I will solve him as soon as possible and come back to help you."

Ouma Kurogane's attitude has been made very clear.

This is the arena he built, formed by the eye of the hurricane in the middle of the hurricane, leaving only one space, which is prepared for him.

"Leave it to us with confidence."

"That's right, by the time you come out, these guys will all be wearing handcuffs."

Stella and Touka Toudou stepped forward at the same time, standing on Makoto Haramura's left and right sides.

Ikki Kurogane directly drew his sword, supporting Makoto Haramura with his actions.

"It's okay, it will be over soon."

Makoto Haramura chuckled, stepping forward with one foot, as if stepping directly into the void, his whole person disappearing here, and the next second, he directly appeared in Ouma Kurogane's hurricane circle.

Also in Makoto Haramura's instant, the original separate cracks slowly closed.

"We meet again, Ouma Kurogane."

Overlapping with those dark pupils, three months have passed.

But the feeling is completely different. At that time, he only needed to make eye contact to understand that his chances of winning were extremely low, and even if he exhausted all his schemes, it would only be a tie at best.

But now there is no such feeling at all.

The stinging pain like a thorn in the back is completely gone, and now what remains is only the calmness and the belief of inevitably winning.

"We meet again, I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

Ouma Kurogane slowly stroked the position on his chest closer to his shoulder, a cold smile cracking at the corner of his mouth.

Since the injury, the positions of these three penetrating wounds on his body have been faintly painful.

Clearly the injuries have been perfectly healed by the treatment cabin.

The places where new flesh has grown on the body have also been exercised to the original level.

But that faint pain is still accompanying him, accompanying him through three months.

But this pain disappeared after seeing this man again.

He guessed correctly.

His body is telling him that he longs to fight this man again.

"Ouma Kurogane, are you in a hurry?"

Makoto Haramura's gaze swept over Ouma Kurogane's body, and he said indifferently.

"Not very anxious, what's the matter?"

Perhaps Makoto Haramura is the qualified opponent recognized by Ouma Kurogane?

Ouma Kurogane, who is always unkind to others and feels that saying one more word is a debt, seems willing to say a few more words to Makoto Haramura.

"Kafuu investigated a lot."

"Found that there is a mysterious person behind you who is funding you, and this person is related to all seven schools."

"I once thought you were sent by that person to control the Seven Star Academy."

"But now, looking at the identical student uniforms on you, your purpose is probably not like this."

It is the student uniform, the uniform worn by Ouma Kurogane and the others is not any of the schools' uniforms in the Seven Star Academy, but a new student uniform.

Since they have already come to attack, then wearing the same uniforms must have its meaning.

"This is the Akatsuki Academy uniform."
