"I say, Naia-chan." Tong Sheng rubbed his unkempt hair that he hadn't had time to tidy up before he woke up, "Is it necessary to call me together?" I still want to sleep, haah......"

"The competition after the quarter-finals is definitely going to be intense, and you have to be ready for emergency repairs at any time." Ignoring his protests, and rarely bothering to call him, Naia sat back in her chair with her arms crossed, intently observing the situation.

"Is there any overtime pay?" Kirisin pulled Naia's sleeve unrelentingly.

"A half-price bento. Also, you let me go,. Naia's folding fan slammed neatly on Tongsheng's arm, and the latter shrank away as if he had been burned.

"Naia-chan, you ......" Tongsheng covered the place where he was knocked with grievances on his face, and he almost burst into tears.

"Sauce your head! Shut up! Naia let out a roar of rage.

"Naia-chan is really ruthless—oh?" Before Tongsheng's words fell, the two quarter-finalists in the first round had already slid off the track and came to the court, "It's her......"

"Is it a duel?" Catherine looked at the body in front of her, revealing a look of determination. Through the previous game footage, Catherine had already predicted which mechs the stars would choose.

"The first game of the entrance test quarterfinals," Sword Cat stood up from the rostrum and announced in a loud voice, "The game begins!" ”

Seeing the players who were ready to start in the field, the audience was silent. Although some of the students who watched the battle were still first-year rookies, the people who could enter the academy were not idiots, they knew that mech battles were not a sport, and instead of helping the players, shouting and cheering silly would only bring chaos to the battle. So they just sat quietly in their respective places, watching with bated breath as they watched the situation off the field.

"Oh? I didn't expect to meet again on such an occasion. Xingchen looked at Catherine and smiled faintly, then looked at her equipped mech, "So, did you predict the mech I would use?" ”

"In terms of performance, the sixth-generation Mech Duel Gundam is definitely better than the other two fifth-generation Gundams. And your combat ability also belongs to the balance of distance and proximity. Catherine's eyes widened, "However, performance and perks don't make the difference. With that, she slowly raised the beam gun in her hand and aimed at the stars. Bikina is a mech with only beam weapons, which means that Duel Gundam's PS armor's near-invincible defense against live ammunition doesn't mean anything.

"Hehe, just PS armor, don't use it!" The moment the words fell, Xingchen manipulated the burst missile trap located on his left shoulder and directly blasted out five burst missiles. The biggest advantage of this weapon is that it is fixed to the shoulder, so it doesn't have much starting action, and although it is not as fast as a beam weapon, it is still very effective in using it to launch a surprise attack in combat.

Catherine did not panic in the face of her opponent's surprise attack, but just looked at the five missiles in the air, her eyes constantly roaming back and forth on the screen to determine the trajectory of the missiles.

"Ding." With a slight beep, five missiles were prompted to lock on the screen in the cockpit, and the LOCKON logo in the upper left corner flashed constantly. At the same moment as the prompt sounded, Catherine took a deep breath and rushed forward, spinning and flying in the air like an arrow from a string, and at the same time, the beam gun in her hand directly fired five shots in succession, hitting all the missiles accurately, and the cannonballs exploding in the air really sounded the horn of battle.

"Does Bikina's own spin burst come with a twist? Well, although it is a function of the body, it also requires a certain amount of body control ability to use it. Coupled with that accurate shooting technique, this woman really has two brushes. It seems that the road to promotion will not be so smooth. Xingchen was amazed by Catherine's strength as she tried her best to adjust her posture and raised the beam rifle in her hand.

"However, my beam rifle is six-round, while her body's beam rifle has only five. Both of them reload at similar speeds, so as long as you keep your distance, consume her beam gun, and then get close to white-knuckle combat, she will definitely choose to retreat if she is not good at hand-to-hand combat, then this extra beam rifle of mine can decide the winner! ”

With the battle strategy in mind, Star approached Catherine in her direction, raised her rifle and aimed at her to pull the trigger, and Catherine dodged and found a gap to shoot back.

"Fourth shot! The next beam is approaching. However, just as Xingchen was thinking this, Catherine raised the weapon in her left hand, "Electric shock bombs? Although the electric shock bomb has good induction, it is impossible to hit at this distance. Could it be that she knows her weaknesses and sees my tactics, so she panics? ”

"Bang!" Before a thought could be finished, the swirling and flying spiral shock bomb was already floating towards the stars.

The star easily dodged the electric bomb sideways, and at the same time, a locked warning came from the screen. He didn't even think about it, and directly controlled the body to do an upward somersault, and the purple beam of light passed through the position where Xingchen had just been.

"Since you failed to subdue me, it's time for me to perform next—now!" Xingchen drew the two beam swords behind his back, preparing to lunge towards Catherine. At this moment, the sound of "sizzling" electricity suddenly came from behind him, and for a moment, the whole body was paralyzed and unable to move.

"It's ...... Obviously hidden, when the hell?! Is that! Xingchen turned his head to look at the electric shock bomb on his back, and suddenly found that there was a scratch mark on the electric shock bomb, and then he suddenly realized, "This is a scratch on the beam beam, can it be ......?"

The target of the last beam gun wasn't the stars at all, but the electric bolt he dodged over. Hit the shock bomb with a beam that causes it to change its flight trajectory, thus hitting the back of the star. With careful thinking and superb shooting, this woman is indeed much more difficult to deal with than imagined.

"Do you know I'm going to do somersaults to dodge? How thoroughly I studied my previous battles - no, I should be amazed by the terrifying accuracy of the shooting. Xingchen examined the state of the mech, five seconds left before resuming action.

"It's over." When he couldn't move, Catherine had already flown in front of the stars, and the lightsaber in her hand was slashed head-on. The expression on her face was still calm and composed, but she could not help but bring a touch of smugness in her hands, "I'm really sorry, Xingchen-kun." Please use your defeat to pave the way for me to victory. ”

"Not yet." Xingchen didn't mean to give up at all, but the corners of his mouth curved into a gentle arc, "Although you are indeed very powerful, my limit is not so easy to reach." ”

"Squeak-" With the piercing sound of mechanical friction, the additional armor on the Duel Gundam's body began to fall off, and the missile compartment on the left shoulder and the unused railgun on the right shoulder were removed together, and the armor plate behind it also fell off, and the shock bomb fell along with the armor, and the paralysis of the Star Mecha was also lifted.

Star, who had regained the right to move, momentarily turned off the thrusters and allowed the mech to free fall downwards, a choice that directly caused Catherine's lightsaber attack to lose its target. The star, which had descended below her, seized the opportunity to activate its thrusters again, slamming Catherine into the air, sending her body backwards for some distance.

"Ugh." Catherine, who was knocked away, obviously didn't expect him to use such desperate tactics, so she could only take this blow hard, gritting her teeth and adjusting the posture of the body, "Hmph, I really can't underestimate you." In this state, you actually came up with such a way to fight back, do you really want to die? ”

"Looks like she's really not good at hand-to-hand combat." Xingchen didn't answer her, but just controlled the body to levitate in the air, and the duel with the armor off became a little slimmer, "The only weapons left now are the beam sword, the automatic anti-air Balkan cannon in the head, the beam rifle, and the missile launcher hidden on the rifle, but there is only one shot, presumably she should also know that she is so proficient in shooting." ”

"Sure enough, he is not so easy to deal with if he can enter the quarterfinals," Catherine gritted her teeth, although she never underestimated the other party, but after all, she didn't expect Xingchen to be such a difficult bone to gnaw, "You can't lose here, otherwise, Saber...... So, it's time for me to get some real stuff. ”

She raised her stun gun in her left hand again and fired a stun bullet at the stars. And the moment the electric shock ejected the chamber, she took out six beamguns from her back. This repeating gun has little energy and is slow to reload, and its only advantage is its fast burst fire. Catherine pulled the trigger, and six beams of light exploded together, surrounding the shock bullet, shooting in six directions, enveloping the shock bullet in it. In this way, if the star dodges the stun bomb, it is very likely that it will hit any beam.
