Strange Cards

Chapter 193 Your face is as red as a teapot.

Shigure frowned slightly as he watched Tsubaki walk towards him with a grin.

Shigure simply didn't want to fight Tsubaki, because fighting Tsubaki would be troublesome, and without being able to use his strength, he might even end up losing.

Because Shigure had no idea where Tsubaki's strength limit was, Tsubaki would always turn into smoke and run away just when he was about to push her to the limit.

If it doesn't crash, that's fine; but if it does crash, things will get really funny.

If we crash and go back, Yu Yan will definitely laugh at us for two and a half years.

But Shigure is also a very spirited and respectable person. Shigure's life motto is "When a person dies, the bird flies to the sky; if he doesn't die, he lives for ten thousand years." Just do it!

The instructors quickly set up a large circle on the spacious drill ground to serve as the area for the two to spar.

Meanwhile, the male and female college students had already gathered around the circle to watch the spectacle, since gossip is one of the things humans love most.

"Hey kid, how about I log into your account and let me have some fun?"

"That little brat is incredibly arrogant; I've wanted to teach her a lesson for a long time."

"You don't need to do anything; I'm good enough to handle her."

"Although I don't know where her strength limit is, she will still win."

At this moment, the head instructor, who was acting as the referee, looked at the two people with empty hands and asked curiously.

"Don't you two need to learn about weapons? You're just going to fight hand-to-hand like this?"

"I want a scythe, a war scythe."

"I want a scythe, a war scythe."

The head instructor was surprised to see the two saying the exact same thing, but since they didn't seem to have the same mother, he decided to make them two wooden sickles right now.

Shigure and Tsubaki each took their sickles, twirled them a few times, and then began walking around the circle.

Chun imitated Shigure's movements, circling around like that. To outsiders, their mutual probing looked like a two-person comedy act.

"Go for it, Shigure! What a coward!"

"Don't forget what you taught me: just do it!"

Huo Yun's voice slightly distracted Shi Yu. Chun seized this opening and suddenly exerted force with her feet, appearing in front of Shi Yu almost instantly.

Chun's sickle came like a phantom, so fast that the onlookers couldn't tell which one was the real sickle.

Shigure then began to wield the sickle with one hand, her dazzling swordplay obscuring even the blade.

To the onlookers, the two were merely attacking each other, but in the head instructor's eyes, they were masters exchanging deadly blows.

After all, the two were genuinely aiming for each other's vitals; Tsubaki attacked Shigure's kidneys, while Shigure's scythe was aimed at Tsubaki's neck.

Both of them were extremely skilled in using the sickle. Shigure achieved this after learning the Ace of Spades' sickle technique from Iryu, while Tsubaki had truly mastered it through rigorous training.

Under the two men's fierce attack, the two wooden sickles were quickly broken, leaving only the long stick.

However, the techniques for long-handled weapons are largely the same. Compared to a sickle, a long stick is simply a weapon without the wide blade of a sickle for attacking.

The two on the field attacked each other like two Black Mythical Maws, and soon both wooden sticks broke.

At this point, the two began to clash in physical combat. When both sides intentionally refrained from using their full strength and chose to fight with physical techniques, Tsubaki's defeat was already inevitable.

After all, no one in the entire Southern Base could beat Shiyu in close combat, not even Qi Wu.

The combat techniques inherited from the Asura are too terrifying. Shigure has only learned a part of them superficially, yet he can still crush the entire Southern Base.

But Shigure doesn't dare to fully inherit everything about Shura; just thinking about that massive amount of information entering his mind would be enough to make him explode.

In close combat, Tsubaki is no match for Shigure. Shigure's bones are so flexible they seem like they could be detached, allowing him to dodge Tsubaki's attacks in extremely contorted poses and launch counterattacks.

Feeling increasingly frustrated, Tsubaki decided to try something magical, and her pupils turned into the shape of camellia flowers.

But Shigure had already anticipated this move. The purple demon eye in her left eye was already prepared, but Shigure used illusion magic to change the appearance of the eye, making it look like a normal eye.

The moment Tsubaki activated her illusion, Shigure used his Demon Eye to deflect it back, then struck Tsubaki on the back of the neck with a palm strike.

To outsiders, Tsubaki was knocked unconscious by Shigure's palm strike, but the truth is that Tsubaki was not only affected by her own illusion but also by Shigure's illusion, which caused her to faint.

However, Shigure still had some conscience. He caught Tsubaki's body as she was about to fall and placed her on the grass. Then, when the army doctor came to treat her, he lifted the illusion from Tsubaki's body.

When Chun woke up, her face suddenly turned red. She looked at Shigure standing in the distance and was furious.

"This guy actually dares to do that..."

Thinking of the illusion scene from before, Tsubaki blushed involuntarily, and seeing Tsubaki's discomfiture, Shigure cheekily leaned closer and said.

"Oh, you're blushing?"

"Why are you blushing like a teapot?"

"Get lost! You've never seen such a pervert!"

With that, Tsubaki flicked her ponytail and stormed off, while Shigure, as the caster of the spell, naturally knew why Tsubaki was angry.

After all, the humiliation of being stripped naked, tied up at the gate, and whipped for three days and three nights is something not everyone can bear. Seeing Tsubaki Shigure's humiliation was absolutely hilarious.

"So you've finally met your match, you flat-chested monster!"

"You got what you deserved for backstabbing me before!"

A small pebble flew from the direction Chunli had gone, but Shigure easily snatched it away with a tilt of her head.

In the subsequent shooting training, Shigure unsurprisingly came in first place again. After all, he was the only one in the entire Hunter who handled guns, and he was the best at it.

Shiyu could practically dominate these greenhorns who had never even touched a gun before. He hit the bullseye every time he fired ten shots, earning a perfect score.

This led to the head instructor insisting on taking Shi Yu to join the army when the military training ended, but the head instructor gave up the idea after Shi Yu took out that golden peony.

After all, there are far too few hunters compared to the army. The army can lose one less new recruit, but it cannot lose one hunter who is currently on duty.

After military training, Shi Yu rarely went back to the classroom to attend classes. She mostly studied the course materials on her own during breaks in the laboratory.

After completing the final test of the satellite transfer, Shigure stopped and began preparing for the launch plan.

After discussing it with Guan Yun, the two decided to schedule the launch for the end of October, because by then the Hunters would have already attended their annual gathering and wouldn't have to worry about being distracted by anything.

However, just after Shiyu and Guanyun finished their discussion, two shadows sent Shiyu news that a battle had broken out.
