Chapter 14: The Road to Possibility
September 3rd, 10 a.m
"The game is very simple, whoever between the two of you can press me to the ground first will be considered to have won" Aria stood on the protective railing of the bridge with his back to the sea, the martial arts school seemed to be not strict about the fact that the students were leaving the school at will, of course, it could also be because the petite girl in front of her was already an S-level martial arts detective at a young age, so she did it out of peace of mind
(Kanzaki H. Aria ...... I don't know where this surname came from, and although it sounds like a permanent British name, even if there are no people in the UK who use "Kanzaki" or "Aria" as surnames, right? So it means that the H... Ah, I really don't understand what people are thinking now
"Woo woo ......" Akari Mamiya looked very nervous, after all, unlike Chong, she looked like she longed for Yaria Kanzaki, so the psychological pressure was definitely greater than Chong
"Don't be nervous, there won't be any danger" Aria comforted a little helplessly, "Anyway, you report the number, I'll wait for you to report to the third and leave"
"Three" began with this brazen report, and the game-like chase began
"--" With his slender legs directly hooking the railing, he fell into the sea, and by the way, Auria Kanzaki went to the locker room to change into safety pants for this game, so there will be no welfare scenes
Seeing this, Chong immediately grabbed one end of the railing and swung to the bottom of the bridge
"Ahhh After hesitating for a while, Akari Mamiya finally decided to run to the other side of the road, because the arched bridge eventually led to the city across the street
"That's a good speed," Aria took the time to look behind him as if the bridge was wandering like a jungle with just a slender rope, and since Chong didn't have a hook or rope on him, he had to keep up with Aria by going back to basics, which was to plunge his ten fingers directly into the rock wall as a springboard
(According to hearsay, is she supposed to have something like a "badge"?) I remember that when I signed a contract with a senior student, I wanted to take something away from him, and of course there were cases where it was resolved peacefully because both parties were satisfied, but it was clear that Auria Kanzaki didn't intend to do that
"--" When Aria jumped along the rope to the end of the arched bridge, Chong happened to catch a glimpse of something attached to her slender waist, hey... No way?
(Thoughtful...) Trying to keep up with Aria's footsteps, he put his hands in his pockets, this guy obviously wants to violate both the "Law on the Protection of Minors" and the "Law on the Protection of Women", right?
ββ¦ See! Panting, Akari Mamiya just stopped in front of Aria
"It's fast" Aria was a little surprised, it only took five minutes from the start to now, but the girl in front of her, who didn't seem to be very good, could actually keep up by running?
"It's justβ" The young man behind him had already quickly approached the girl in front of him before he could catch up, and with a slight twist of his wrist, he threw the already exhausted Mamiya Akari to the ground, and it wasn't enough to stop him
"......" bypassed directly from Akari Mamiya's side, and he didn't expect any teamwork, but is it really necessary to continue to do this level of assault on the martial arts? That's not how life is squandered
(It's a little weird, though...) Aria looked back at the boy who had somehow put his hand in his pocket, and looked down on himself?
"It's okay to use a gun," said as he ran forward and turned back to Chong, Aria didn't seem to care about the eyes of most people on the street at all, and honestly said that he wanted to use a gun in front of people's eyes... Even here in Tokyo, it should be regarded as a relatively strict political issue
"I didn't say I couldn't catch up with you" Although it should be very simple and basic for her to dodge bullets, but in public, Chong is not sure that the bullets will not even be offset
"Hey~ Then let's try it!" Aria smiled lightly and sped up her steps again, her already petite body and her ability to walk on the eaves quickly disappeared into the crowd, and some people couldn't help but take pictures because of this kind of skill
"......" Chong looked around a few times and then followed quickly along a small path, if it was the terrain around here, he still had an impression, no matter what, he could only meet in the area of the old warehouse
"Ah......h
ββ¦β¦οΌβ Because he heard the sound of wheezing behind him, when he looked back in surprise, he saw that Akari Mamiya was constantly squeezing in the crowd and barely followed
"What are you doing with me?" Chong asked, a little puzzled
"Because, because Aria Senpai ......really can't keep up," Akari Mamiya said as he ran and panted, "If you want to be able to keep up from here!" β
"Whatever you want" After saying casually, Chong stopped paying attention to her, and Mamiya Akari also gritted his teeth and continued to follow
A moment later
(This guy looks out of breath, but how can he keep up every time?) Chongzi thinks that his running speed is very fast, 100 meters can run the whole distance in 8.76 seconds, and even if he runs a thousand meters, he can reach the record of running the whole distance in just over 2 minutes, of course, this is actually very, very ordinary, and generally find a martial artist-level person who can surpass himself lightly, but it is obvious that Akari Mamiya should not have reached that kind of Cheng dΓΉ
ββ¦β¦οΌβ As soon as I saw the harbor, I lowered my head, and then a bullet grazed Chong's head, and I...... You're trying to kill me, right?!
"As an A-level detective, the reflexes are good," Aria stepped on the container and looked down at the two of them, "There is no one here, so you can let go of the shootout."
"If it was another level of detective just now, I might not be able to dodge..."Chong paid a vigilant eye to Ari's left hand holding the gun, and as he reached his waist, there were two silver-colored pistols hidden under the hilt of the knife that never left his body
"B-level first-year students can dodge, of course, if you're C-level or lower, it's dangerous," Aria said nonchalantly, "But don't worry, the first bullet in my two guns is a safety bullet, and if you can't dodge, you'll only be in a coma for a while due to cranial nerve damage."
"I know that there is also a category of specialty students in A-level martial arts, so I have investigated it in particular, and Akari Mamiya will not mention it for the time being, you have taken all the subjects, right" Aria took out the stacked text from the pocket sewn on the skirt, "From the perspective of intelligence, you are very versatile, detective department A, assault department A, sniper department, etc... Except for the espionage department and the health department, all of them are A-class, and you are likely to become an S-class detective in the second year."
"It's over..."S-class detective... That can't be done, the gap between A-level and S-level is not ordinarily big, S-level martial arts detectives are already terrifying beyond the imagination of mortals, and there is absolutely no way to rely on a body like him alone...
"Then the polite words have already been finished," Aria put the text away and jumped out of the container directly, "From now on, the timer will be counted, and within ten minutes, if you can make me fall to the ground or get the star attached to my waist, even if you win, Akari Mamiya, you have to come on."
"So......" Aria pulled out a second gun from the base of his thigh, "and it begins!" β
βοΌβ Subconsciously turned his head to dodge the three bullets used to interfere with his vision, and then subconsciously used his left elbow to push Aria and kicked directly at the long leg of the bridge of his nose, without glancing down
At the moment when her left leg was pushed open, she immediately turned into her right leg and kicked her right leg roundabout and hit her head with the butt of her gun with her left hand, and Aria did not forget to focus part of her attention on Akari Mamiya, whose hand was propped up on the container, and it seemed that she really did not intend to show mercy to her subordinates
(Dodging bullets...... While dealing with Aria's high kicks, he kept dodging the real guns that spewed out gunfire from time to time, and the bullets in them were 100% real murder weapons, but in the world of detectives, this would only be classified as a toy, which is the dimension of monsters
When he briefly lost the lower part of his left eye because he was dodging bullets, the whole world was already spinning, and Aria took advantage of the blind spot in his vision to quickly press Chong's waist with his legs, and threw Chong, who was taller than him or heavier, out with unimaginable force
"Oops, hey?!!" Before Akari Mamiya could come to her senses, she saw that Aria had already rushed towards her with two guns
"What's wrong! You're a team of two! As soon as Aria finished speaking, he had already rushed in front of Akari Mamiya, and the latter hurriedly parried and was directly overthrown to the ground without two blows
"Stand up, you won't be so useless," Aria pulled Akari Mamiya by the collar and pulled her in front of her, "Don't be so self-defeating, you're also one of the main attackers"
"Click-" There was a sound of a knife drawn from behind, and Aria couldn't help but smile
"You also use two knives and two guns" Using her free left hand, she pulled out the hidden Japanese sword from her smooth back, and Aria seemed to customize it into a small Tai knife style that matched her height
"No, I just don't want one hand to be empty" The weight of the two hands was not even comparable to the weight of one of his hands, which made Chong can't help but arouse a few more feelings of victory
"That's a funny reason," Aria laughed as she immediately rolled over and stood up from the ground, not forgetting to keep a safe distance from Akari Mamiya, "but I'm also a double sword."
ββ¦ It doesn't seem like there's a need to fight," Chong was silent for some reason, and then put the knife back
"Huh?" After hearing this, Aria subconsciously poked into his waist, only to find that the star that should have been attached there was no longer there, "Could it be..."
"I got it..."Akari Mamiya shook the sticker in his hand vigorously, "Aria Senpai......!" β
"This kid..."Aria swore that she must have mustered up the energy to pay attention to Akari Mamiya, except for the moment when she took out the knife from behind...... yes, it seems that this time there is still some carelessness
"In that case, my words count," Aria also admitted her defeat with grace when she saw this, "It was Akari Mamiya who won the star this time, so I agreed to make a contract with her sisters"
"Huh?! But if that's the case, Yuun's predecessor is..."
"I'm your junior" Takashi picked up the gun from the ground, "Besides, I didn't capture the stars or knock Kanzaki-senpai to the ground, so I lost"
(I also unloaded my bullet casings at the moment I was thrown to the ground...... It's a perfect defeat at all, and the girl named Aria Kanzaki is much stronger than the boy named Yukumo Chong, and that's the difference between S and A......
ββ¦ By the way, Akari, you don't have a sister-in-arms, right" Aria seemed to think that this was indeed a bit unfair, and after thinking about it, he said, "The three of us present should not have a battle group, so just rank according to age."
"I'm in the second half of my first year... I'm 16 years old."
"In the first half of the first year, I am 16 years old"
"I was born in February..."
"Born in September" is divided up and down, and Chong, who seems to be the most elderly, is actually the youngest of the three
"Then let's do it, Akari becomes my sister-in-arms, and then you become Akari's brother-in-arms" Aria directly concluded, "I taught Akari something and let her teach you again, so there is no problem"
"I don't... No, I agreed," Chong, who wanted to refuse, suddenly changed his words as if he thought of something, "As long as Sister Mamiya agrees, I'll apply to the Academic Affairs Office immediately."
"Senior sister or something...!" Akari Mamiya blushed a little and waved his hand again and again, "I think I'm a lot different from Yukumo's senior, so it's impossible..."
"Akari, the word impossible is one of the words that obliterate the possibility of human beings, and you can't say it in front of me in the future" Aria soon had the majesty of a war sister "And you are the senior, the decision is up to you, you just need to say agree or disagree"
"Then I agree..."Maybe he was taken aback, and Akari Mamiya could only nod a little dejectedly, how did it make it as if I made a lot of money...
(But I did earn it...... Because the battle group has a clear hierarchical classification, it is said that Aria can command Akari Mamiya but cannot command Chong, which means that in this way, he can complete the above "instructions" while saving effort, strictly speaking, Chong really made a profit
-- It's just... It's just a little unwilling
postscript
"You can obviously get close to Aria Kanzaki, right" This is what happened in the morning after the end of the class at the Martial Arts Academy, in a blind corner where no one noticed, and someone was communicating with Yukumo Chong in private "Why not be serious"
"Are you asking me to waste precious spare parts on such things," Chong replied coldly, "My combat power needs to be replenished"
"Who told you that you are not gifted in this area?"
"Do you want to die" Chong was really a little angry because of this sentence
"Just as I'm joking" The man seemed to light a cigarette "It's just a little emotional, obviously he has a good talent, but he is ruined in this aspect of no talent"
"Don't think it's troublesome, the military department is seriously helping you," the man Meimei took a puff of cigarette and whispered, "If you go along with it, you may be able to awaken the "must-have" thing..."
"What do you mean," Chong's eyelids twitched in disbelief
"There's something very unbelievable hidden in Kanzaki Aria, it's enough to make you awaken to the bloodline of "Yuyun" The man exhaled a smoke ring in this direction, "The British side doesn't know, and our side also knows because of the informant, the instructions given by the military department are to find a way to get that kind of thing, just use the means you are good at, and the reward is the right to use that thing for the first time, so your answer is..."
"Why don't you do it" Chong turned around and left, his eyes flashing with a snake-like greedy gaze, "If you can really do that kind of thing, then even if you exchange your life, it will not be impossible"
"If you don't have talent, then it's good to plunder"
Note 1: The timeline here is staggered, originally Aria met Akari first before meeting Kinji, but here it was deliberately changed for later consideration
