Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 83: Three Heroes vs. Angers (Four in One)

At this moment, the entire center of the classroom was empty, with only Ange standing empty-handed, while Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei looked at each other, then slowly stood up using their sword blades to support themselves on the ground.

The students around him had eyes that were shining, almost bloodthirsty, their faces flushed, and their legs trembling.

You know, they have dragon blood in their bodies, which means that this is their instinct, and they are the most suitable bloodthirsty audience.

What do Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, the parties involved, think?
(Are you here?)

A week after enrollment, Lu Mingfei's teacher finally came to give him personal guidance. Although he felt that the tuition was worth it, he also felt a bit nervous.

So he pretended to be calm and turned to ask Chu Zihang.

"Brother, what do you think?"

"Is this a meme from 'Yuan Fang, what do you think?'"

"Don't play tricks at this time, I'm serious!"

The defense was broken in a second, and the two of them were noisily discussing immature tactics.

"Okay, then I'll take the lead, and Lu Mingfei, you cover me." Chu Zihang said seriously, "If you can't win, just run away."

"Is this class? Where can I run to?!" Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched, and he muttered while looking at Ange, "I always feel that you are the kind of person who would let the big boss torture you just to cover for your companions."

"I'm not."

The Kassel audience below showed a different blush than before.

"As expected of Master Chu Zihang and Master Lu Mingfei, they have endless topics to talk about whenever they get together."

"A genius manzai duo."

"I'm so respectful to you two when you're together."

Zunjimao!!!
Lu Mingfei really wanted to throw the bamboo sword to the classmate who was making trouble nearby, but he held back.

"Have you come up with a plan?"

And Ange had been waiting for a long time. His body seemed relaxed, but Lu Mingfei became more and more frightened as he watched.

To repeat, if the world of Cyberpunk Night City is a science fiction game, then my own reality... Since there are fantasy creatures like dragons, let's call it "Dragon Clan".

Dragon Race is like a fantasy world.

Lu Mingfei could feel that in this world, he could really see hallucinations on martial arts masters just like in those martial arts dramas.

For example, Chu Zihang is like a rainstorm and a samurai sword.

For example, Caesar is gold that reaches the sky.

And Angers.
That is a sea of ​​blood and corpses, a jagged mountain made up of the corpses of dragons and humans. An old man bathed in blood stands at the top, unyielding and even with a relaxed look.

I couldn't help but think further - the battle often doesn't begin after preparation, but starts with the enemy's sudden outburst at a certain moment!
This time, it was Ange who took the initiative to move forward.

Even though he had nothing in his hands, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang would never dare to relax.

The first to attack was Chu Zihang.

Facing Ange's charge, he stood still, his long sword slowly sweeping in an arc and freezing in mid-air.

Ange's arm for attack was imminent, and in an instant, Chu Zihang's knife disappeared. With just a flick of his wrist, the long knife made a sharp flash, hitting Ange with little force, without mercy!

"Roar, you don't respect the elderly or the young at all."

Ange laughed and scolded, but in fact he was very pleased, because Chu Zihang's swordsmanship was almost perfect in terms of posture and timing of force. He was simply a self-taught modern swordsman.

But Ange was faster!
He could have used his mysterious martial arts to neutralize Chu Zihang's attack, and if Angé was willing, he could even have snatched the sword with one hand.

But in order to simulate the fighting style of dragons and Deadpool, Ange took more simple and brutal actions.

He faced the direction of the sword—a swift and casual swinging punch.

Chu Zihang: “!!!!”

The cold-faced cool young man probably hadn't thought of this, but his thinking soon came to a conclusion.

Untouchable.

Although Ange rarely fights in front of his students, it is easy to imagine that the body of someone who can fight Deadpool in close combat has long been harder than steel. Not to mention that this is a bamboo sword, even if it is a sharpened samurai sword, Ange can break it in two directly from the side!
Well, in a sense, the bamboo sword might be even harder to break.

Chu Zihang thought of this and quickly released his strength. Just as Ange said, Chu Zihang was indeed a genius. Although the change in strength was so sudden, he completed the imagined action perfectly.

The bamboo sword faced Angé, but there was no crackling sound as imagined. Instead, amidst a deep sound with a slight echo, Chu Zihang arched his body, lifted his feet off the ground, and pressed his center of gravity forward.

"Roar~!"

Ange surprise.

It's a force-dissipating one, or it's of extremely high purity!

He let Ange use his fist to knock him and the blade away, almost "pulling" Ange to exert all his strength, tempting him to stand still because of the stiffness after the punch.

very smart.

Because Chu Zihang is not fighting alone.

Buzz! ——! ——————————

At that moment, my heart suddenly trembled.

At that moment, my brain was almost shaking.

Ange's hair stood on end.

The vibration of the air continued to spread and touched the skin. There was even a faint golden color in the old man's pupils. In the corner of his eye, a dark sword shadow was approaching.

The enormous force caused the bamboo sword to almost twist halfway, forming a whip-like shape!

The air whistled with a sharp rhythm, and the air currents spun like spindles—it was hard to imagine the boy's strength! Even though he was different from Chu Zihang, his posture and timing were all wrong, Lu Mingfei still launched a slash that was no less fierce than Chu Zihang's, or even more fierce.

The old man caught the man's eye and fixed his eyes on the man swinging the sword, going all out in his attack!

We clearly didn't discuss it, but this was our first collaboration, yet they had such a tacit understanding?
it is good.

great!
Angé grinned in his heart, and was actually a little eager. According to Chu Zihang's calculations, he should have been stiff at this moment, but in fact it was not the case.

He didn't 'try hard' from the beginning.

Fight!

The old man’s fist, and Lu Mingfei’s knife swing with all his strength!

The first move was a relentless, ruthless fight! The sound of the earth collapsing and breaking apart suddenly spread out after gathering at a point! The blast even lifted the lips of the bloodthirsty spectators around, causing them to tremble and dance like the hem of a skirt!
What will be the result of a fight between two people?
next moment--

After a slight pause, Ange followed the direction of the punch, letting the force flow through his body. With his spine as the axis, his whole body quickly turned half a circle like a gyroscope. His movements were so fast that the hem of his suit turned into a blurry afterimage like a sickle.

boom!
He turned around and jumped up at the same time, and his jumping ability far exceeded that of any known wild animal of the same size, allowing Ange to use Lu Mingfei's slash to fly high into the air.

Snapped.

Then, the body hovered above the height of the sword.

Ange slapped the sword with one hand to gain leverage, and tensed his waist and legs to exert force!
The toes were like sharp blades, kicking towards the target fiercely, causing a whistling sound in the wind!

Lu Mingfei was almost speechless at this old man who was more agile than a jungle cat. He didn't have time to put away his knife, so he quickly raised his elbow to block the kick.

The heavy force was enough to make Lu Mingfei lean back. However, before the momentum of the kick could subside, Ange's right leg swung up quickly, with his waist as the axis, like a waving whip, drawing a sharp arc in the air, with the power running from his hips to his toes!
There was a crisp sound of "pa", as if the air was vibrated by this kick!
Lu Mingfei finally lost his balance and flew backwards.

Instead, Ange used the force to relax and his body fell.

How powerful.

How invincible.

This is Hilbert Jean Angers.

He is always the strongest hybrid.

Faced with the disparity in numbers and weapons, he was able to make up for it with brute force, skills, and momentum. In the battlefields of these decades, he was the only one who could face the powerful dragon species and take off their hideous heads.

Even now.

Even the emerging hybrids, even the ever-burning magicians and the newly promoted S-rank had to submit to his pressure.

That's right.

Angers won!
All Kassel students think so.

But the next moment-

Click.

The old man landed and was about to declare victory, but suddenly he felt his body shaking.

What?! Dizziness?! Is this anemia in the elderly?!
No, that’s not the case. Ange’s body is not that weak!

What is the answer!
“The answer is the floor.”

The body rolled far away, but in mid-air, the boy still couldn't help but speak, because he knew that if he didn't speak at this time, it would not be like the battle of wits character in the anime at all.

At the same time, at this moment, in the stagnant time and space, Chu Zihang behind Angers also spoke.

"He deliberately crushed the ground when he swung his sword at the principal. The sound of the sword swinging mixed in with the sound of Lu Mingfei stepping on the hole he had made, so naturally no one would notice."

"But the moment the principal lands from mid-air, he'll miss a step because of this flaw."

"Because the principal said—"

What I just taught you is not that there is a high barrier between bare hands and weapons, but that you should not be too rigid about the types of weapons you use, but should be as varied as possible.

That's right.

The weapon is not a bamboo sword.

But everything.

Everything in this room.

As a local of Night City, Lu Mingfei understood the meaning of this guidance better than anyone else.

He may not be a kendo master like Chu Zihang, and he may not have any superb swordsmanship, but the only thing about this [Unlimited Close Combat] is that he has not only watched Jackie Chan's movies, but also interned in Night City!

The floor is also a weapon.

And now.
After being kicked backwards, Lu Mingfei made a very strange posture in mid-air.

The blade pointed backward, resting against the ground, piercing deep into the hole.

He gripped the hilt of the sword and 'twisted' it.

In just a moment, the bamboo sword was twisted into a slingshot posture.

Click.——!
The kinetic energy of Ange's kick was completely dissipated in the bamboo sword inserted into the ground. After a stalemate of less than half a second, the latter instantly shattered and exploded in all directions!

aieeeeee!!!
The bamboo sword is made by roasting mangosteen, selecting pieces, weighting, correcting, and finally tying them together. Now that it is scattered in all directions, it is like thousands of swords returning to their origin and flowers scattering from the sky.

After the slingshot broke, the fragments turned into arrows and shot in all directions. Some fragments hit the walls or window glass, making continuous cracking sounds, but they were mainly concentrated in Angers.

Chu Zihang, who had recovered his strength, double-teamed Angers again.

Attack from both sides!

How can Angers stop it!

Absolutely not! Absolutely not!

It's not impossible.

Faced with such a double-edged sword, the old man's first reaction was joy.

"it is good!"

Ange didn't expect that Lu Mingfei was so proficient in [No Limits], and Chu Zihang could actually understand what he meant. This made the teaching, which was supposed to be one-sided, actually have some fun with a back-and-forth.

Actual ecstasy!

Faced with the double attack, the old man acted without hesitation.

He clasped the seams of his suit with his left hand.

He swung his right fist towards Chu Zihang.

While holding Chu Zihang, Angé instantly let go of the sword.

Turn around, bend over! ——————and take off your suit with one hand!
The pitch-black suit fluttered in the air, and while easily blocking the bamboo sword fragments, it was grabbed by Angé, who leaned forward with one hand as if making a JOJO stand.

The suit suddenly transformed into a shuttle shape, wrapping the fragments of the bamboo sword.

A shake, a jolt.

Throw them all behind you!

Chu Zihang, however, was unable to dodge.

Do the same? Absolutely not—because unlike the dashing Angers, he wasn't wearing an open-chested suit, but a zipped-up leotard!!
Damn old man, was this also part of your plan?!

Chu Zihang used his arms to block his vital parts and retreated.

But Ange had regrouped, with a smile on his face, and rushed towards Lu Mingfei with a grin.

"Jesus!"

The boy cursed loudly, but his movements were not slow.

what does he do
The answer is to use weapons!
what?
The sword and the floor have been used, so what else is the weapon? Is it the same "clothes" as Ange?
No, no.

Also, the 'weapons' in this classroom!
"Hey?"

While Susie was looking bewildered, Lu Mingfei, who had retreated to the front row of the classroom at some point, grabbed the other person and stood in front of Ange.

"Sister-in-law, protect me!"

"!?"

Susie's expression wavered between horror, anger, and shame, and Ange couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"How courageous!"

But Ange certainly would not hurt innocent people by mistake.

Although the topic was "assuming Ange was Deadpool or Dragonborn," how could Ange really pierce his student's heart like Deadpool?

I just hope that Lu Mingfei is not the kind of person who would use passers-by as shields to fight Deadpool in real life.

However, this is just a delaying measure after all.

Lu Mingfei's sword has been dispersed.

Neither of them had any weapons. In that split second, Lu Mingfei, unarmed, could not be a match for Ange.

It didn't take much time to pry Susie apart, so it was no surprise that Angé felt he had a sure win.

In fact, it was true. After Ange gently pushed Susie away, Lu Mingfei, who was blocked behind him, could only attack. His jab had arrived, but his movements were wide open and could not be compared with that of a martial arts master.

Angé grabbed Lu Mingfei's fist with one hand and restrained him.

The two tried to wrestle, but Lu Mingfei's expression quickly changed.

His gorilla arms and golden eyes could only barely match the old man's strength. After the other party used Aikido techniques, Lu Mingfei even had the urge to kneel down.

What kind of people are these? !

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!”

Ange grabbed Lu Mingfei with one hand, while Chu Zihang's last sword behind him was held in his hand simply and straightforwardly.

Ka Ka Ka Ka
With one hand each, Ange was now as domineering as Superman from the Justice League, bullying his friends. Lu Mingfei, suffering from a toothache, and Chu Zihang, with a frown and trembling arms, struggled mightily against Ange, but anyone could see that with just a little more force, Ange would be able to throw them both off.

The students around him all showed expressions of "As expected of Principal Ange".

However, what is different from my classmates is——

Ange himself, on the other hand, showed an ecstatic smile and said excitedly.

"That's great! I'm already looking forward to the chemistry between you two!"

"Chemical reaction?" Lu Mingfei asked while maintaining the wrestling action.

"!"

Perhaps it was because he hadn't stretched his body for a long time, Ange was obviously a little too excited and even said something that was not in his plan.

The old man was stunned at first, then revealed a helpless expression that said, "I need to reflect on this." He slowly explained, "Well, it's actually an internal project of the academy. Your seniors who were originally in charge were delayed due to some matters, so the position on the executive committee was vacant."

"The plan is to be completed in a few months and there's no time to delay. Although the rules require it to be handed over to the Executive Committee, I personally intend to give it to the best students of this class."

Lu Mingfei didn't understand, but he seemed to understand that this was the reason why Ange allowed him to start school early.

"I'm very happy that you two performed well."

Angé smiled at Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei.

"How about it, are you two willing to train together as partners in the Executive Bureau? Let me be clear, this is no simple matter," Ange said seriously. "Partners in the Executive Bureau are people you can absolutely trust. No matter good times or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sad, they must always stand by their partner's side."

"Those parts after the good times and the bad times were added completely by you, right?! Isn't this just copied wedding vows?! I already told you this isn't a BL novel!"

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain, while Chu Zihang kept his arms trembling. As they continued to wrestle, the two of them made eye contact.

Chu Zihang: "I can."

Lu Mingfei: "I do? You want me to say I do?! First of all, I agree to the partnership part, not the oath part!"

Although my senior brother is a nice person, I am really straight!
"that would be great."

Ange smiled from the bottom of his heart. Many people felt that they had not seen such a bright smile from an old man for a long time.

But at this moment, he was really happy that he had two more outstanding students, a perfect pair of partners.

The future of slaying all dragons is just around the corner!
but
"How long are we going to remain in this stalemate?"

Angé raised his eyebrows and asked Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang in a gentle tone.

After all, Ange is old. He is 120 years old now and cannot compare with young people.

The cooperation between Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang is truly amazing. Now Angers seems relaxed - but in fact he can hardly move.

Don't get me wrong, Ange could easily get rid of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, but he just didn't want to.

First, he didn't want to lose face for the other two people, and second, he didn't want to lose face for himself. He had to put in his best effort when facing the two juniors, as he was afraid that his old friends would laugh at him.

I have to use 30% of my strength to suppress the students, so that I can appear sophisticated and handsome enough.

This is what he thought in his heart, but Ange said it.

"You have passed the test and you will receive full marks in this class,"

Let go, let go.

Ange said with a smile.

And those two students.

Lu Mingfei: “OK.”

Chu Zihang: "Got it."

They said this, and then increased their strength.

Ok?
Ange's expression finally changed. The two were not the type to flatter. Such an action had only one meaning.

That is [We haven't lost yet]

But it has come to this point, and both of them are so close to Angers, what can they do?
[Unrestricted Fighting]——Use everything as a weapon.

Are there any other weapons in this classroom?

Bamboo sword.

clothes.

ground.

and also
Ange glanced around the field as he flashed past the last possibility.

Ang Rexin thought of this 'correct answer' and paid some attention to the students present.

And all this thinking.

It was completed in just 0.5 seconds.

next moment--

Susie suddenly burst into speed.

(As expected.)
It's a great strategy. Students can indeed become weapons. After all, that's what Ange himself said.

In this situation, it might be useless for others to rush forward and would only hinder each other. However, if someone suddenly explodes at the critical moment and at the critical opportunity, it would indeed be somewhat threatening.

Susie's action was correct.

But facing Susie, Ange also has new weapons to use.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!" Lu Mingfei screamed.

As Ange swung his shoulder with force, he was swung up like a sledgehammer. This time it was Lu Mingfei's turn to act as a hostage to block Susie!
The girl's attack route was blocked and she immediately revealed a flaw.

Chu Zihang let go of the hilt and wanted to attack again, but this step was also within Ange's expectations.
The battle between masters is like playing chess. The number of moves predicted by each other is no less than ten, and they will be denied and recalculated again and again by each other.

If Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, the former is "first in unexpectedness" and the latter is "first in logic", then Angers has mastered the qualities of both and has a better integration.

All actions in this room are under his control.

While trying to shake off Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, Ange punched Lu Mingfei in the abdomen and kicked Chu Zihang in the calf, leaving him completely unable to move.

The winner was revealed within 0.001 seconds.

That's right, Angers won.

That's how it should be.

Even though this is the popular cover comic of Jump magazine, Ange should be given an award.

However.
【boom】

The sound of "black" gunfire.

It's not about the volume of the tone, but the source, the timing, everything.

It was like the final stab of an assassin lurking deep in the shadows, with no prelude at all before the sonata.

This is just one strike, a decisive battle.

The mind keeps slowing down, and time seems to stand still.

Ange's vision suddenly turned to the direction where the warrior's instinct pointed.

A black shadow fell obliquely, and the gunpowder drove the bullet to hit the atmosphere at super high speed - in an instant, the thing was only half an inch away from Ange's eyebrows!
The bullet hovered in mid-air.

Ange's thoughts accelerated infinitely.

The clear bullet is right in front of us.

Why?

That's a bullet.

That's sniping.

The source is... outside this training room!?!
Ange: !!

Everything in this room is a weapon.

Pulling Susie over was just a way to buy time. Why did Lu Mingfei do this? Or, was he really just using Susie as bait at that moment?

[Parts of the flying bamboo sword hit the walls and glass of the room.]

[Why did Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei choose to attack from both sides? ]

Countless doubts flashed through Ange's mind, and then he came up with the answer almost in an instant.

next moment.

Just like watching Mewtwo, time began to move forward, and Ange's thinking began to allow him to reset all the clues at the scene, retrace the scene, and then return "reality" to the confrontation dozens of seconds ago.

【first step】

Why did Lu Mingfei move Susie in front of him when he protected her? Was it really because he needed a meat shield?

The answer is yes and no, or more than that.

When he focused his attention on Susie, Lu Mingfei noticed that his vision was shifted, so he used the movements of a professional pickpocket to pull Susie's cell phone out of her trouser pocket.

Step 2

Then, while Ange was pulling Susie away, Lu Mingfei threw a punch in her dress, actually to attract Ange's attention again, and then threw the phone to Chu Zihang at another angle, out of Ange's sight.

The reason why Lu Mingfei's cell phone was not used was because he was always within Angers' sight, and any unusual movement would be detected, except for 'Susie' herself who could serve as a blind spot.

The reason why Chu Zihang's cell phone was not used was even simpler - Chu Zihang did not have the phone number of the [person to be contacted], but Su Si, the current deputy and actual manager of the Lionheart Club, had it.

It was this design of 'Why use Susie's mobile phone' that instantly reminded Chu Zihang.

Step 3

Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei were like conjoined twins, no, soulmates! With such good chemistry, he understood Lu Mingfei's meaning the moment he got the phone.

Cell phones are also weapons, weapons that belong in this room.

And now the best effect they can achieve with this phone is——

Shake people!

Taking advantage of visual difference, information gap, and tacit understanding, Chu Zihang noticed that Lu Mingfei had deliberately broken the window in advance.

At the moment when Lu Mingfei used the bamboo sword as a weapon, he seemed to be targeting Ange, but in fact he was destroying the scene and launching a wide-area attack to make Ange ignore his arrangements.

That hole.

That outside.

The target was the boys' dormitory.

The man whose phone number Chu Zihang didn't have but Su Si had saved for work reasons.

Step 4

Lu Mingfei had received this information before coming to this classroom.
[——Hey, Junior, did you know? There's a dance studio inside the gymnasium building. Ballet girls often rehearse there, and you can see a corner of the gymnasium building from the boys' dormitory.]

[——Oh, but the ballet troupe itself is Caesar's property, so if you want to take action, you have to give me a heads-up.]

"Junior brother, you should worry about yourself. I'm not talking about Cassel's students, but Caesar himself. He's very obsessed with things he values. He'll definitely get what he wants and keep it close by for him to admire. This applies to Chen Motong, the student union, and the ballet company he founded."

These are all the words of Finkel, but they were spoken at different times. The first two sentences were from the recent conversation between Finkel and Lu Mingfei, while the last sentence was from the previous conversation at the train station.

When all this information is rearranged and combined.
Ballet too?

And here.
Isn't it a dance studio?

"Ah."

The blond man crossed his legs and held a teacup in one hand in front of a white round table. The cup contained black tea brewed to the right temperature. In his other hand, he held a Smith & Wesson 500 revolver that seemed to have been slightly adjusted from the original and was completely gold.

One arm was stretched out straight, facing the open window, and on the round table in front of him, the mobile phone screen was still stuck on the text message interface. The text message sent by a contact named Susie had been almost three months apart from the last one.

[Use Frigga bullets to shoot the broken window in the martial arts training room on the third floor of Building B of the gymnasium. By Chu Zihang.]

“easy.”

Taking a sip of tea and exhaling a breath of light hot air, Caesar spoke calmly with pride.

Although Caesar had no idea what had just happened, he never doubted the identity of the sender based on the format of the text message.

Moreover, as Finkel said, because Caesar likes to keep his own things at hand, his student dormitory can directly overlook the dance studio.

Caesar fired without hesitation.

One reason was that he was busy thinking about his free day just now, so he happened to have Frigga bullets on hand.

The second reason is that although Caesar doesn't like Chu Zihang, he still believes in Chu Zihang's character and will definitely not harm him.

Thirdly, as proud as Caesar was, he had subconsciously regarded this text message as a 'challenge', a provocation to his shooting skills!

Haha, provocation?
Who do you think you are provoking?
I am Caesar Gattuso!

Trivia: Although the Word Spirit Kamaitachi cannot be used at Kassel Academy, Caesar's hearing is still several times better than that of a normal person. When he concentrates, he can hear subtle movements hundreds of meters away.

With his excellent hearing and the best shooting accuracy among the current students in Kassel, Caesar is fully capable of sending the bullet into the gap in the window with ease!

He has absolute confidence in his skills.

No one can dodge a bullet in this situation.

After finishing, the man even raised the gun and blew on the muzzle in a showy manner.

【ding dong】

After receiving the reply, Caesar first smiled, then picked up the flip phone and looked at it casually.

He knew that this must be a text message from Chu Zihang. Judging from the speaking ability of that warrior, he would probably just say "thank you" and be done with it, and then clumsily try to find a way to repay him afterwards.

Good, haha, let him owe me this favor for a while! And let him admire my archery skills to his heart's content!
Caesar was thinking about how to torture Chu Zihang with great interest. At the same time, he took a closer look at the text on the phone screen.

【Contact: Principal Angers】

[You shot me, didn't you? Come to my office now.]

Caesar:?
His pupils dilated slightly and his body leaned forward slightly.

Eh no?
bro!!!!!!!!
