“Stronger?” “If the streets were full of monsters like you, Tokyo would’ve fallen into chaos long ago.” Tenma Nozomi’s face was completely drained of motivation.
She felt that being this broken little boss was even more tiring than fighting back then.
“They don’t have to be monsters.
As long as they’re as strong as you, Nozomi-chan, that’s fine!” Swish!
She was still speaking when Hina suddenly went crazy and launched herself at Nozomi at high speed.
Whoosh!
The moment she closed in, her small fist had already aimed straight at Nozomi’s face.
Danger!
As danger approached, Nozomi instinctively raised both arms to guard her head.
But what she did not expect was that the punch on the surface was only a feint.
Hina withdrew it the instant it made contact, then raised her leg and drove her knee upward.
Bang!
The next instant, a violent knee strike smashed hard into Nozomi’s groin, producing a heavy sound of flesh being struck.
“Hah, hiss…
that ruthless?” Yoru had just entered the door when he saw this extremely brutal scene.
He instinctively clamped his thighs together and sucked in a cold breath.
Thank goodness!
Thank goodness this little lunatic had not used that move when fighting him.
Otherwise, his balls would absolutely have shattered!
But it was not over yet!
One second, Hina had kneed Nozomi in the crotch.
The next, she raised her elbow and brought it down hard toward the back of Nozomi’s head as she instinctively bent over.
Judging from her expression, she was actually even more serious than when she fought champion Toujou Ran onstage earlier!
Then again, that made sense.
Toujou Ran had been instantly killed by one punch, while Tenma Nozomi had taken a vicious hit to a vital point and merely gritted her teeth without even groaning.
Her pain tolerance threshold was clearly inhuman as well.
And her sense of danger and reaction speed were also above boxing champion Toujou Ran’s.
Whoosh…
Just as Hina’s elbow was about to land, Nozomi shifted sideways at high speed as if she had eyes on her back, then countered with a reverse elbow.
That movement not only allowed her to dodge the elbow strike, but also instantly reversed offense and defense, turning herself from the attacked side into the attacker!
“So strong!” Seeing this scene, Jingu Yoru could not help but sincerely exclaim.
Putting himself in her place, he absolutely could not take a hit to a vital point and still dodge and counterattack without the slightest hesitation.
Forget fighting—his brain would not even be able to process that quickly!
Because he did not have that kind of rich combat experience.
But Hongou Hina’s reaction speed was clearly inhuman as well.
The moment her left elbow missed, her right hand immediately swept across to block.
Pop!
In the next instant, she accurately sealed Nozomi’s reverse elbow with her palm.
“See?” “Nozomi-chan, you’re really strong!
You’re obviously very ‘slow,’ yet you’re still powerful.” “This is so interesting!
Haha…” Even after a chain of attacks failed to knock Nozomi down, Hongou Hina’s eyes shone terrifyingly bright.
“Calm down!” “I don’t want to fight you!” Facing Hina, who could go crazy at any moment, Nozomi backed down.
Her legs quickly moved back, putting distance between them.
Weren’t they talking about Valkyria’s business strategy?
How did they suddenly end up fighting?
Was she really this insane?
“What is going on with them?” Jingu Yoru was asking the same question.
And the person he asked was the boss lady, Mitani Hana, who was also backstage and had once again escaped Hongou Hina’s targeting with her fragile-looking appearance.
“Geniuses all have their own little tempers.” “We’ll just have to let Nozomi suffer a bit.
Once Hina-chan’s fur is smoothed out, she’ll be fine.” Mitani Hana stood at the “door” with her usual black-bellied attitude, showing absolutely no intention of intervening.
“Wow.
You told me the same thing last time.” “And the result was that I stayed in the hospital for nearly a week!” While speaking, Yoru quietly moved the boss lady in front of himself as a shield.
“Didn’t you get a big red envelope too?” “It’s already gone.
I spent it on boxing lessons.” Speaking of which, Yoru’s situation was miserable.
Up until now, he had only earned two side payments, but one had gone into his gym membership, and the other had gone into boxing lessons.
Now his pockets were empty again.
Training was way too expensive!
Sometimes, he honestly wanted to just live off his face instead.
“Don’t come over!” “Stop coming closer!
I already said I don’t want to fight you!” On the other side, Nozomi retreated while Hina chased after her.
The small room gave her no room to shake the girl off.
“Then what do I have to do to make you motivated?” But after failing to knock Nozomi down twice in a row, Hina’s desire to challenge her had reached an unprecedented level.
She chased after her without the slightest intention of giving up.
“This isn’t about being motivated or not!” While backing away, Tenma Nozomi subtly clamped her thighs together.
That hit from Hongou Hina just now had been way too heavy.
She could still feel the lingering pain.
“Oh, right.
How about the chemical weapons storage location?” “Don’t you want to know where Army of God’s chemical weapons are hidden?” “Come fight me, Nozomi-chan.
If you win, I’ll tell you!” Seeing that Nozomi refused to fight no matter what, Hina brought out her trump card.
“Chemical weapons?” “How did something that terrifying get involved?” Hearing this for the first time, Yoru looked left and right, hoping someone would explain.
But the three women completely ignored him.
“Nozomi, agree to it!” And before Nozomi could speak, the black-bellied boss lady had already started urging her.
“If we can really find them, we’ll definitely be able to sell the Metropolitan Police Department a huge favor!” “Do I still have a choice?” Seeing her close friend instantly betray her, Nozomi felt exhausted.
She was just a disabled loser.
After her retina detached once, it had become very unstable.
Was it really okay to sell her out like this?
“No.” Mitani Hana answered decisively.
“If Ichika were here, she’d agree even faster than me!” “Yay, here I come!” Hearing that Nozomi had “voluntarily” agreed, Hina’s mouth instantly stretched into an extremely brilliant smile.
Whoosh!
Her body sprang in front of Nozomi like a little tiger.
Swish, swish…
The next second, the two exchanged punches again, beginning the second round.
“Not bad.
This is really good!” “Nozomi-chan, you really are stronger than everyone else!” Hongou Hina launched a rapid chain of attacks, but Nozomi dodged and blocked them one by one.
The girl immediately let out delighted cheers.
“As expected of Nozomi!” “Although she’s only barely dodging, she really has almost seen through all of Hina-chan’s attacks!” Mitani Hana, who was watching from the doorway, also praised her secretly.
It was her eyes!
It was definitely Extraordinary Vision at work!
Yoru also threw the chemical weapons matter to the back of his mind, his eyes locking tightly onto Nozomi.
Even in a damaged state, Nozomi could almost see through all of Hina’s attacks.
If her eyes were in perfect condition, wouldn’t she be even stronger?
He wanted them!
He wanted those eyes!
Once his strength rose and he had the qualifications to speak to fighters as an equal, he would definitely ask Hanafusa Hajime to properly treat Nozomi’s eyes.
Hanafusa could save someone from a broken neck and cardiac arrest, and he could even operate on himself and freely modify his own body.
A mere retinal detachment should not be much more serious than a cold to him.
“You’re strong!” On the field, just as Hongou Hina drew her arm back to gather power, Nozomi suddenly ducked and rushed forward, grabbing Hina and throwing her to the ground.
“But that’s also your weakness!” The instant they landed, Nozomi quickly grabbed Hina’s ankle with both hands.
Then she spun her body and firmly locked Hina’s right leg between her own.
“You haven’t fought an opponent of equal strength in a long time, have you?” Having caught the opening and locked down the situation, Nozomi panted heavily and said, “You wanted to KO me in one hit, so your movement was too big.” “Hm?” Hongou Hina could not believe this result and struggled with all her strength.
But without room to move, Extraordinary Tendons could not gather force.
Even though she strained until her veins bulged, she still could not break free from the lock.
“Are you satisfied now?” Nozomi maintained the lock for five seconds, then decisively released her legs.
Otherwise, she was afraid that this little lunatic would keep going crazy and tear apart her old bones.
