Zongman: Harem's Music

"What beautiful fighting skills..." Nishimiya Tsuyoshi stepped forward and praised.

"My father taught me!" Ani habitually lifted up the golden hair that covered his eyes on the side of his face.

"I'm a little curious, who's better between you two, Annie or Nishimiya?" Alan rubbed his lower back after getting up from the ground, and spoke with a mentality of stirring up trouble.

"Let's have a fight!" Someone in the crowd started to make a fuss.

Once the clamor started, it was hard to suppress it anymore. Everyone started shouting rhythmically: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi was not shy and gave Ani a provocative look. It had nothing to do with the crowd that was making a fuss. He was just very interested in fighting with Ani.

"Why do you people have to pick on a weak little woman like me?" Ani said in a cold and indifferent tone, but she decisively took a fighting stance towards Nishimiya Tsuyoshi.

"Because you, a weak woman, are not weak at all!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi smiled and assumed the starting posture of karate.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! The ultimate showdown!"

Dozens of students stopped their training and gathered around at the same time.

Sasha, who was watching, asked Mikasa, "Mikasa, which one do you think is more powerful?"

The people around also turned their eyes to Mikasa.

Nishimiya Tsukazu, Mikasa Ackerman, and Annie Leonard are recognized by everyone as the top three fighters, but the ranking of their strength is still unknown to everyone.

But no matter what, Ackerman, as one of the top three, undoubtedly has the most say.

Mikasa said calmly, "If Tsuji gets serious, victory or defeat will only take a moment!"

"Oh~" There was a loud booing sound all around.

After three months of getting along, everyone knows that Mikasa and Nishimiya Tsukazu are inseparable whenever they have free time. This one-sided statement seems to be a bit of a cover-up no matter how you look at it.

"..."

Facing boos from all sides, Mikasa remained expressionless and refused to allow any arguments.

Only she knew that she was just telling the truth. She didn't know when it started, but Nishimiya Siyi, who was originally on par with her, suddenly left her behind.

When did it start?

Naturally, it started from the night when Nishimiya Tsuyoshi obtained the [Ackerman bloodline]!

[Ackerman bloodline] + [Talented Skills: Advanced Learning]... Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's physical skills seemed to be like a tiger with wings, soaring like the wind.

It was at this moment that Ani moved!

He took three quick steps forward, threw a feint with a straight punch, and suddenly slanted his body and kicked towards Xigong Si's knee joint.

If it were anyone else, they might have subconsciously raised their arms to block the feinted straight punch, only to be knocked down by her kick in the joint... Unfortunately, her opponent was Nishimiya Tsuyoshi.

Seeing through Annie's plan, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi calmly dodged her kick, his elegant demeanor instantly radiating sharpness. In the instant his body spun halfway around, his right leg shot out with the force of an afterimage...

Ani was startled and had to raise his arms to block in panic.

bang——

With a dull thud, Ani flew backwards. After landing, he took several steps back before he could barely stabilize his body.

"Wow——" There were exclamations from all around.

"I've never seen Annie lose in a one-on-one fight!" Reiner said sincerely.

"Yeah!" Alan nodded repeatedly.

This guy... is so strong! Ani thought, shook his aching hands, took a deep breath, and assumed a fighting stance again.

If before she was just helpless because of the crowd's booing and had some interest in Nishimiya Tsutomu, then now... she was competitive.

"You're probably learning a free-style fighting technique that focuses on joint techniques... The karate I practice also has locks and entanglements similar to joint techniques..." Nishimiya Tsuyoshi said, changing his moves. "Are you interested in learning it?"

Ani ignored him and suddenly attacked again.

She is like a little lion, although her body is small, she is extremely agile...

After dodging two of Annie's hooks, Nishimiya Tsutomu raised his hand and grabbed Annie's right calf as it was about to sweep across...

Just when Nishimiya Tsuyoshi was about to respond with a few teasing remarks, Ani fell backwards, quietly supporting the ground with her right hand... Her whole body was like an extremely resilient whip, and her left foot suddenly fell towards Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's jaw like a whistling whip tail.

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi looked up, the shoe surface passed by in an instant, and the air around him seemed to still have the smell of mud...

At this moment, Annie exerted force from her waist and was able to free her right calf from Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's grasp...

The moment his feet landed on the ground, Ani suddenly approached Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, hugged his neck tightly, bent his right leg forward almost ninety degrees, and kicked Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's inner knee joint fiercely from behind, while pressing down the right arm that was locking his throat!

……

Chapter 83 Snow Mountain Training (Part 1)

"Ah!"

Beside him, Nishimiya Tsutomu raised the corner of his mouth when he saw Annie's beautiful face with a lack of expression, as if he was sure of victory.

As far as I can remember, this girl seemed to be smiling for the first time.

Bang!

The right leg raised forward fell to the inside of Nishimiya Siyi's knees, making a muffled sound. Ani took the opportunity to exert force with his waist, and suddenly pressed down the right arm that was locked on Nishimiya Siyi's neck!

Annie's smile disappeared at this moment... Nishimiya Tsuyoshi did not lose his balance due to the heavy blow to his knee joint as Annie imagined, and was not knocked down by her with just a little effort despite being at a disadvantage in terms of size and strength.

Ani had the illusion that the person he wanted to knock down was not a human, but a giant tree rooted in the ground.

bang——

"Hmm!"

Unwilling to give up, Ani tried again, but the result was unchanged.

At this time, Nishimiya Tsukazu said: It feels good.

Although Ani is only about twelve years old now, the soft mass pressed against his side has already begun to take shape!

"Hu~" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi took a light breath and put aside all the distracting thoughts in his heart. He locked Ani's neck with his right arm and imitated the technique she had tried twice. He raised his right leg forward ninety degrees, suddenly dropped it to the back of her knee joint, and pressed down!

Ani only felt the sky and the earth shaking, and then his back fell heavily to the ground.

The outcome is decided!

Well, the outcome was actually not in doubt from the beginning.

Although Annie's fighting skills are sharp, they are only for ordinary people. Facing Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, who has just started to learn the [Six Styles of Taijutsu Navy], she is not good enough at all.

In fact, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi has not used any of the core techniques of karate, nor has he used any of the Six Styles. Otherwise, Mikasa's words: If Tsuyoshi gets serious, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant is not appropriate. What is decided in an instant is not victory or defeat, but life or death.

"Are you okay?" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi bent down and extended his right hand to Ani.

At this moment, instructor Satis's roar came from a distance: "What the hell are you guys doing? Don't you want to eat dinner?"

"Ah... the instructor is here!"

The students watching were like startled birds in the forest, not caring whether the person next to them was their original sparring partner... They automatically formed 1V1 teams and started matching opponents!

Snapped!

Ani suddenly grabbed Nishimiya Siyi's hand, used the force to lift it up, and clamped his legs directly around Nishimiya Siyi's neck. While pulling him down, he locked Nishimiya Siyi's left leg with his right hand and pressed him under his body.

Nishimiya Tsukazu did not resist this time, it was a 1V1 match!

"You two!" Satis walked up to them. "If I remember correctly, the content of the fighting course is to take the knife from the criminals, right? Where are your knives?"

"here!"

Annie let go of Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, stood up and waved the wooden sword in his hand, which he had snatched from Reiner earlier.

"Continue training!" Satis said indifferently, then turned and left.

Nishimiya Tsuichi stood up and said to Ani, "Thank you!"

"I just don't want to be punished!" But Ani didn't appreciate it.

Nishimiya Tsukasa chuckled: "Well, no matter what, I didn't get punished because of you! So thank you!"

Ani turned his head and said, "Thank you if you want!"

Seeing this slightly tsundere reaction, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's smile deepened a little. What a cute personality, isn't it?

"Give me the knife, and let me play the gangster!"

Annie threw the wooden sword to Nishimiya Tsuyoshi and assumed a fighting stance again.

Nishimiya Tsutomu launched an attack with a wooden sword in one hand and asked, "Ani, why did you join the training corps?"

Using his left arm to block Nishimiya Tsukasa's knife-wielding wrist, Annie paused for a moment before saying, "I must answer the post! Group 9:8,02:0585/6, from Daidai. From you?"

"I want to know!" Nishimiya Siyi said, increasing his strength.

Ani tried her best to compete with Nishimiya Tsuyoshi in strength, and said through gritted teeth: "But I... don't want to... tell you!"

While Nishimiya Tsuyoshi and Annie were communicating in this special way, Historia, Mikasa, and Bertholdt, who were training with their opponents in three other places, frequently cast glances at the two.

……

Three months later!

In the corner of the training ground at dusk, Reiner and Berthold walked side by side.

"Hold, Hold?"

Berthold, who had been somewhat absent-minded, came back to his senses. "Ah...what happened?"

"I mean, Nishimiya and Ani are sparring privately again!"

Reiner said with a worried tone, "She's been a little too close to Nishimiya lately. I'm worried she's forgotten what we're doing here. Let's find some time to talk to her alone!"

"Maybe it's because of the mission!" Berthold forced a smile.

Reiner was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"Isn't Nishimiya from the capital? And he seems to be a noble... Maybe through him we can find out where the real royal family is within the walls?"

Berthold said as if in self-hypnosis: "Ani must have deliberately approached him for this reason, it must be like this!"

Reiner looked at his self-hypnotized companion with a worried look on his face: "Hey, you guys...are you okay?"

……

Chapter 84 Snow Mountain Training (Part 2)

After a brief silence...

"Reiner, you know... I have always liked Annie, but Nishimiya... he is just too outstanding... both in appearance and talent... I..." Berthold opened his heart to his companion beside him. This young man, whose height was unique among the trainees of the same period, showed a fragility and lack of confidence that was inversely proportional to his height.

"..."

Reiner sighed and patted Bertholdt on the shoulder: "Don't worry! No matter what, Nishimiya is still an insider. We are Annie's true companions... After completing the mission, we will eventually return. Then you can go to Annie and express your feelings. As a fellow Marleyan warrior, she will definitely not refuse you!"

Berthold thought about it and nodded: "Yes!"

……

Deep in the woods west of the training ground, a dozen or so adjacent trees, about 1.34 meters tall, had sunken, rotten bark... On the ground, covered with dead leaves and protruding tree roots, footprints could be seen here and there, sunken and spreading backwards...

Nishimiya Tsukasa was lying on a tree branch, holding a copy of "Dust Song" in his right hand and an Alps stick/candy bar in his mouth... He looked as relaxed as if he had just enjoyed afternoon tea.

boom!

He put the bookmark on it, closed the book, and pretended to put it in his arms, but actually put it into the storage space of [Sumeru Jiewei].

"Even if life is like dust, I still wish the years to be like songs!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi murmured this most memorable sentence, looking at Mikasa and Annie, who were sitting on the other two trees with a little dust on their cheeks. "What do you think of this sentence?"

"..."

The two girls rolled their eyes at him at the same time.

They had long been accustomed to Nishimiya Tsuyoshi sometimes suddenly saying something that they didn't quite understand and that seemed to make sense, and asking for their opinions.

"Speak up!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi asked after he had finished reading a work that he thought was excellent and was in a state of literary youth, eager to share his thoughts with others.

Mikasa said: "Life is born humble, but precisely because of its humbleness, it desires the value of existence even more!"

Ani said: "Human nature is ugly, but they always dress themselves up in a poetic and so-called true goodness, which is actually a cloak of hypocrisy!"

Wow, these are all realistic worldviews... Thirteen or fourteen year old realists are just problem children, to be frank!

Nishimiya Siyi smacked his lips. "The correct understanding should be, the world kisses me with pain, and I still repay it with song! Do you understand?"
