After the world was destroyed again, I became a drifter

"Huh..." Toudou Qilin took a deep breath nervously. She reached to her collarbone and pulled out a necklace with red gemstones. When she saw the necklace, her nervousness seemed to ease a lot and a smile appeared on her face.

"Is that what Yu Yiyu gave you yesterday?" Shashagong Sayo put away her [Wishing Scroll]. Yesterday, she also saw Yu Yiyu handing it to her and saying something, but she didn't hear it clearly.

"Well, senior said that this can help me solve the problem of star power manipulation that I can't solve for the time being." Todo Qilin nodded in response.

"So that's how it is. This is Qi Lin-chan's amulet, and it's also the ingenious plan she prepared." Sasamiya Sayo nodded thoughtfully.

Toudou Qilin shyly put the necklace back into her clothes. She looked up and suddenly saw two women walking towards her. They were wearing the school uniforms of Alcant Research Institute.

"Saya, that is..."

"Well?"

Sasamiya Sayo looked up and saw that two people were already very close. They were Anessa and Camilla.

"Hi, ladies, long time no see~!" Aynsta was still in high spirits as always.

Sashamiya Sayo didn't intend to take on her emotions and said warily: "What?"

"Hey, don't be so cautious. Even if we have to fight later, it doesn't mean that our relationship can't be further developed."

"It's the Mimic that's going to fight, not you two."

"Oh my, you can't say that..."

Toudou Kirin stood there at a loss as to what to do, and could only watch Enesta and Sasamiya Sayaka have completely different reactions.

At this time, Aestha's partner Camilla suddenly stepped forward and said, "Okay, Aestha. I'll tell you the rest." She looked at Sasamiya Sayo and said, "I have something to ask you."

"...What's the matter?" Sasamiya Sayo still looked at her unfriendlyly. She still remembered that she had mocked her for having a poor weapon.

For Sasamiya Saya, her father's weapon was made for her, that is, it was specially made for her as a person, and she was also operating as a part of the weapon. Denying the weapon her father made for her was denying herself.

"Nothing, I seem to have misunderstood you, so I want to say something before the duel begins."

"Misunderstand?"

"Well, I watched your previous matches. The Huang-style weapons you used were defective individually, but they became a complete whole when you used them. So if you are considered as one of the weapons, it is undeniable that you are very powerful."

Camilla's words made Saya look at her in surprise and said, "Then..."

"But I don't intend to take back what I said before." Camilla still expressed her meaning firmly and continued: "If you are also regarded as part of the weapon, it will further prove the instability of the weapon you use. This is contrary to the concept of our Lion School. It is still unstable and unsuitable for actual combat. Even if I bet my beliefs and dignity, I will never agree with such unorthodox methods!"

"...Then I must defeat your puppet and leave you speechless."

"You can't defeat Aldi and Limxi. Even if something unexpected happens, if you win, I will never agree."

When Sasamiya Saya heard this, she glared at Camilla with anger in her eyes, but Camilla acted as if she didn't see anything and continued, "However, I will take back what I said before. Aldi and Limxi have infused all the techniques of our Lion School. If you can defeat them, then you can't say that your weapons are unsuitable for actual combat."

After saying that, Camilla turned around and left, and Agnesda followed her with dissatisfaction.

Sasamiya Sayo clenched her fists tightly and said, "Qi Lin."

"I'm here, Sayo."

"You have to win!"

"Ok!"

..........................................................................................

"Hi, hi! Well, I've kept you waiting! This is the familiar Liangze Miko, and here's the commentator, Ms. Chang!"

"Hello everyone~"

"The Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival has finally entered the semi-finals! The first match is between the pair of Toudou Kirin and Sasamiya Sayo from the Seidoukan Academy and the pair of Aldi and Limsey from the Alcant Research Institute! Oh my, I am so excited!"

"That's right. And one of the highlights of today is to confirm whether Toudou Kirin and Sasamiya Sayaka can break their one-minute oath. After all, no contestant has ever done this before."

At this point, the camera turns to two pairs standing on the stage.

Aldi still spoke in a loud voice: "Listen! This time, just like before, we will give you one minute. During this period, we will not make any attacks. You can come at us as much as you want!"

"... Hum~" Sasamiya Sayo stopped looking at him and turned to Toudou Qilin and said, "I'll leave that guy to you. Let him see the results of his training."

"Okay!" Toudou Qilin nodded in response, then stared at Aldi while drawing his sword and getting ready.

"Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, first round of the semi-finals, the game begins--!!!"

"Tofuji Kirin, come on!"

Holding the Senha-kiri sword, Kirin Fuji faced Aldi, who was much bigger than her.

"Huh? Toudou Qilin, I didn't expect that my opponent would be you."

"…Are you dissatisfied with me being your rival?"

"No, but according to the prediction results, it is the right thing for Sasamiya Sayo, who has heavy firepower, to fight us. If we want to break through our defense, we cannot do it without sufficient firepower."

"..."

"Your physical ability is one of the best among the contestants of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, but your weapon is not even a Huang-style weapon, it is just an ordinary Japanese sword. If it was a Huang-style weapon, it would be fine, but an ordinary Japanese sword will definitely not be able to break through my defense!"

Aldi looked down at Toudou Qilin with his height advantage and said, "It's not too late now, let Sasamiya Sayo and you——"

"Haha." Before he finished speaking, Toudou Qilin suddenly laughed and said, "It's just as you expected. So, do you want to try it yourself to see if my Senba Kirin can touch you?"

"bawl?"

“…Okay, then come on, from now on for one minute, I’m looking forward to what you can do——!?”

Ding!

Before Aldi could finish his words, the tip of Todo Kirin's sword was already in front of him, and the energy barrier was deployed at almost zero distance, narrowly blocking the attack.

Toudou Qilin jumped back and nodded secretly in her heart. It was exactly as her predecessor said. If Aldi himself didn't realize it, the anti-wall developing agent would be flawed. Then would the other idea also be correct?

"This speed... is faster than what is recorded in the data. Is this the so-called result of practice? However, it is far from enough."

"Huh... Really? I almost understand. I'll hurt you with my next attack."

As Todo Kirin made the declaration, star power burst out from her body and gathered on her legs. At this moment, light blue stripes appeared on her arms and legs, making her look like she was glowing.
