"Iori has completely fainted... Ako, I decided to give up this intersection and go towards the park. Although there is a lack of cover there, the good news is that the shrinking circle is in our favor. At least we can't be dragged into close combat by Nero. She has inherited the true teachings of her teacher. Did you hear that gunshot? It should be Victor. An SVD can't deal with her."

Hinata held up three fingers. A terrifying explosive force was slowly brewing in her small body. "The smoke can't cover all the gaps. There will probably be a two to three meter danger zone. But as long as we rush into the park, we should be able to grab a batch of weapons. No matter who falls first, don't give up. Do you understand?"

"Yes, President!"

Ako calmed down and waited for Hinata to close her fingers.

3--

Hina turned her head to check the direction of the maid group's sweep and stared at the edge of the high water tower. Once the sniper moved, she would immediately let him know what it meant to be a precise shooter.

2--

Long and short bursts of gunfire were still hitting the pile of roadblocks against which the two men were leaning. Ayako could faintly see a wisp of red hair sticking out from the rubble on the opposite side. It seemed to be Iroha who had fainted. She muttered something, "Teacher, you haven't returned the book to me yet--", but the second half of the dreamy voice was drowned out by the gunfire.

1--

Throwing the smoke bomb was just a simple action. As soon as Yazi raised her arm out of the cover, she was taken care of by a sniper in the distance.

She only felt her forearm go numb, and her arm was dislocated by the flying large-caliber ammunition. She only gritted her teeth to avoid crying out in pain.

The smoke bomb flew into the intersection, making the already chaotic battlefield even more difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. The moment Hina clenched her fist, Ako also dropped her arms and followed the president to the high ground of the park.

But it seemed that Hina was not the only one who made the tactical decision to seize the high ground in the park. Across the upward slope of the lawn, the two heard the sound of shotgun firing. Soon, a tuft of blue hair and a tuft of white hair rolled down from the height, fighting each other.

"…When did the two of them get to that place? Did they fly up there?"

Yazi stopped moving for a moment, and watched in amazement as the two enemies from the seminar tumbled down the slope and slid past her and the president.

147. Hina, who we had high hopes for, lost in the quarterfinals

"Let go, Yuuka! Is there anything we can't just talk about?!"

"Shut up you lowly girl! Do you think I didn't see you burying the C4?!"

The price of distraction on the battlefield is often very painful - but it is impossible for people to maintain a high level of concentration all the time. After seeing the blurry shadows of Yuka and the others flying past her like rolling gourds and the overly "united and friendly" noise, Ako finally paused. It was hard to tell whether she was hesitant or not, and a corner of her clothes was exposed outside the smoke.

"bump!!"

Not all students can maintain the reaction speed and skills of a frontline fighter after working in the office for a long time.

The president's strength is all-round, otherwise he cannot convince the crowd. But Ako is not Hina after all. Her dull perception made her unable to dodge the string of bullets that came through the smoke. She was hit by consecutive 6.3 bullets in the back. She fell forward with a subtle but not painful expression, and saluted Captain Olga behind Hina.

Azi!!

Hina was not like a little girl who would shout her comrade's name and cry for revenge when a comrade fell. Although she was frightened, she quickly picked up the SVD and fired two shots in the direction of the assaulter. She could vaguely see a halo of flickering color passing through the smoke, and then a pair of eyes like those of an ancient ferocious beast lit up, with long pupils, moving sideways at high speed towards her.

“Nero!!”

"Haha, it's me, President! I didn't expect you to hold on! I thought those guys would never let you enter the finals!"

C&C's top fighter, Nero, who is known to be invincible in close combat, stretched out his flexible body like a wild beast and rushed out from Hina's right side.

The Victor in her hand kept firing three shots in a rhythmic burst, pressing on Hina's movement space. Because she rushed out of the heavy cover too early, Hina had to hide behind a park chair, using the half cover which was better than nothing to reduce the power of the submachine gun ammunition. But soon, the chair was also blown away by the grenade, and Hina had to stand up and withstand the ammunition flying from all directions.

In just a few seconds, she received enough damage to knock five students unconscious. However, her personal willpower added to the effect of her aura, allowing Hinata to still stand on the battlefield. Even when she was surrounded by the maid team, she was still rooted at the highest point of the park like a female warrior holding a flag in an oil painting.

At her feet, the students of science from the previous year, Gehenna's students, and Trinity's students were "lying dead" on the ground, making it seem as if Hina had knocked them all down by herself.

Blood was faintly oozing from her forehead - Nero suddenly felt like a big villain for being able to force Hinata to this point.

Everyone knows how much Hinata has devoted to her teacher, but there's nothing they can do about it. When it comes to feelings, there's no high or low, and one shouldn't talk about how much one has devoted. Everyone, including Nero, thinks that he is the one in Kivotos who most wants to reunite with his teacher, and is the one who loves him the most.

"Hina, come on down! This place has been occupied by our people, and soon the lone wolf of Holy Trinity will be cleared out. I can give you a chance to fight for the second or third place, with my girls--"

Out of admiration for Hina, the red-haired man said a lot more and offered very good conditions, but her confident demeanor was still enough to make people with strong self-esteem resist.

"Don't even think about it! Nero, you have to step over me to get there - I've taken the high ground!"

Hinai raised the SVD and faced her fate calmly. She knew that she had no hope of survival, but her groggy brain still rejected her increasingly "weak" body and always said no to falling down.

Fight for the second or third place? I don’t accept it! You don’t need to rely on others’ charity to get a position next to the teacher! !

"You're still the same, alas."

Nero shook his head and switched the submachine gun to full-automatic shooting mode.

"In that case, please exit gracefully, President!"

"Bang!!!"

In addition to Hina's bullets, Nero was also answered by grenades flying from the other side of the reverse slope. Even though Nero was agile, he lost his balance the moment he saw the 40mm big guy flying over, and was thrown away by the blast wave.

"when??"

Her will was equally strong. Even though she was blown away by the grenade, she did not faint immediately. Instead, she half-lay on the ground and continued to aim at the park entrance. But when Baizi, with a bruise on his forehead, "teamed up" with Hecheng to rush out from the west windbreak, and Weihua, with black air all over his body, and Xiaoshi, with a cold face, pulled out two lines of guns from behind the fountain, she immediately understood that it was not just her C&C who could maintain basic team morale and tacit understanding in the final round.

And there are traitors on my side too! ! How the hell did you get involved with Trinity? ?

Miscalculation! !

It's true that these people were fighting among themselves, but it wasn't a complete fight! They even formed a temporary team!

"Asuna! Karin! Don't worry about the president yet, she's out of ammunition! Push Shiroko back!! Do you see Hoshino?"

"No, I only saw Baizi!" The big golden retriever only had a buffalo rifle, and its accuracy was still slightly insufficient for sniping at a distance of 400 meters. Moreover, the open area was too wide, which gave Hina a chance to successfully counterattack with the few remaining bullets. In combination with Baizi's surprise attack, Zhuyin, who was closest to the outside, was killed on the spot.

"The circle is shrinking soon, hold on!"

“Hahahaha!! Kill, kill, kill!! For the teacher!! I’ll kill you all!!”

He Cheng shouted meaningless words, jumped into the crowd with two shotguns in hand like a madman, and started spinning!

"Die! Die! Die!!"

Kong probably didn't expect that He Cheng, who had been taught by him to be much more normal, would show signs of "atavism" after returning to the battlefield.

Each seemingly random spray could accurately control the dispersion of the projectiles, and even blasted Weihua, who was behind the fountain and had no time to retract his head, from a distance of a hundred meters.

The pink-haired girl rolled her eyes and fell into the pool - if it weren't for the fact that water resources in Abydos were relatively scarce and the fountain had not been put into use, she would probably have been able to drink her fill while dizzy.

“Hold on, Karin—damn it, this lunatic actually made it to the finals! Flashbang, throw a flashbang!!”

While Crane City was in the process of opening up their Wushuang position, Xiaoshi, the only "traitor" in the maid team, secretly glanced at Hinata, who had completely used up her ammunition but was still standing in the most conspicuous high position, and was ready to shoot her again.

But her hand trembled, and her original expressionless face gradually expanded into a bit of surprise, and finally shifted her target.

Hinata had fainted, and her bracelet lit up red.

But she fainted while standing, and she did not fall down until the last moment when she was hit in the head by a stray bullet and lost consciousness.

148. Is the mouth OK?

Hinata was eliminated in an unexpected way, but she still occupied the high ground in the park after fainting. No student dared to rush forward, perhaps out of respect, or perhaps because her ghostly figure was terrifying.

After "shooting" Noah with her own hands, Yuka, who was panting heavily, was somewhat exhausted and could not get up.

By this stage, the battle situation had gradually become clear.

On her way to the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Wakamo was chased relentlessly by the Shrinking Circle, and Rumi from Classic of Mountains and Seas happened to bump into her, so an encounter that meant neither of them could reach the inner circle was inevitable.

In the end, only He Cheng from the Holy Trinity managed to get into the circle. The temporary team formed by her and Bai Zi can be seen as two lone wolves banding together for warmth, and they are also the only hope of their respective academies.

As for Chifuyu... because they adopted the battle line advancement method... they were completely annihilated, and no one was swallowed up by the shrinking circle because they fell behind.

Before they knew it, the Millennium Science Academy had gained an overwhelming numerical advantage.

Seeing that the situation was favorable, Nero changed his usual manic temper and hurriedly called out to the "traitor" who was still on guard over there -

"Xiao Xiao! Come back to the team! I can forgive you for what happened. After we eliminate the outsiders, we can have a fair fight to decide the spot!"

"No, Minister, I must take first place."

"Damn it, why are you so stubborn!"

Nero was pressed down behind a scrap car by Hecheng's violent attack. She also tried to persuade the little boy who was not far away from her and was at an angle to her so that she could attack Baizi - but she didn't give her any face and was determined to win the game.

"There's nothing we can do! Asuna, keep an eye on Xiaoshi! I'm going to take out Tsurugi! It will be no joke if we let her jump behind our cover!"

Nero clicked his tongue, patted the golden-haired man's shoulder, gestured his planned charge route, and asked for two more magazines from Hua Lin - they didn't have enough spare ammunition.

And the bracelet has already started to warn, and with the shrinking circle, the next big killer to reduce the number of contestants is on the way...

The shadow of the bomber slowly emerged from the other end of the building complex, exposed in the cloudless and rainless sky over Abydos.

Nero boasted that he was invincible in close combat, but he was helpless against a 500-pound monster that dropped from the sky.

The bombing circle and the shrinking circle mechanism are both means of bargaining for the weak to fight against the strong. Otherwise, every year's competition is destined to be decided by a few legendary figures of Kivotos, which would be too boring... But as one of the leaders who voted in favor, Nero now hates himself for taking things for granted and can only pray that the bomb will not fall near the team.

"Damn it, why at this time..."

Nero raised his hand and looked to make sure that the circle did not continue to move higher - but the deadly red circle had already covered them and Hecheng.

"Hahaha! Nero! Come out and face me! Aren't you known as the strongest attacker? Face me!" However, even though the bracelet made a life-threatening beeping sound, Hecheng, who was "getting into the good stuff", was not afraid at all.

"What are you yelling about! Huh? If this wasn't about the teacher, I would have torn your head off long ago!!"

Being provoked like this, veins popped up on Nero's forehead.

The two maids, one gold and one black, began to shoot in bursts to cover Nero's approach to Hecheng from the flank.

They did not go to attack Hecheng, but focused their main energy on guarding against the other six brothers. Baizi and Xiaoshi were given special care, giving Hecheng and Nero enough stage to play.

After testing each other, the two exaggerated school legends named monsters finally met head-on.

The shotgun bullet that could knock Mika unconscious with one shot only caused scratches when it hit Nero and was mostly dodged. The submachine gun bullets that could have disabled Yazi with just a few shots were also mostly dodged by Hecheng's ghostly movements. The sweat of the two madmen and a little blood on their foreheads mixed together, and they almost pointed the muzzles of their guns at each other's faces.

Hecheng raised a shotgun that had already emptied and hit Nero's wrist, causing her to deflect all subsequent shots. Victor also lost his grip - but Nero was also ruthless. She took advantage of the impact of Hecheng's swing, turned around, and kicked away her only shotgun with one shot left. In an instant, both of them were without their main weapons.

"Drink!!"

After all, Nero's close combat ideas were richer and her reactions were faster. Before she could retract her legs, she picked up the frying pan on her back and slapped it on Hecheng's left cheek.

With a loud bang, He Cheng's completely distorted and wild face relaxed, and his left cheek turned red, but his expression quickly changed from terrifying to peaceful, and he returned to the ranks of "dark beauty", just like when he was acting coquettishly in front of Teacher Kong.

It’s a pity that such a gentle and peaceful face was only short-lived, and Nero didn’t have the time to appreciate it.

Because before Hecheng fainted, he pulled the ring of an impact grenade with one hand - it fell to the ground as Hecheng fell backwards, and also sounded the "death knell" for Nero.

"Damn it——which school's equipment department modified this thing?"

Smoke and dust were everywhere. Nero was thrown into the air in a daze, and he was still cursing at the nonexistent safe detonation distance of the contact grenade.

Fortunately, she did not faint.
