Pirate's Freedom

Boom boom boom boom boom boom…

As they tossed and turned, the flickering afterimages gradually moved higher into the sky, but in everyone's ears, the roar of the fierce battle did not weaken at all.

Withdrawing his gaze towards the sky, Porusalino glanced around.

Karina bit her lip and looked up at the sky, clenching her fists.

Porusalino could even hear the faint cracking of her knuckles.

Ila's big eyes were lifeless, mechanically chasing the figure in the sky, and her little head with short pink braids kept shaking back and forth.

Yukinoshita, Yuigahama, Hikigaya...these figures standing far and near remained motionless.

At this moment.

Except for a few people, most people were in a state of freeze, as if they had not yet recovered from the shock.

"Puff-breath-breath-"

It was like the long, labored breathing of a drowning person rising to the surface.

"Isn't it already over? Why did the two of them suddenly start fighting?"

Beside Porusalino, Hiratsuka Shizuka, whose body was still trembling slightly, asked a shocked question.

"Whether it is competitive sports such as kendo, judo, karate, and track and field, or simply fitness and muscle building, why would people do something difficult and painful?"

Porusalino asked himself.

"Because humans are very simple creatures. If they know there will be rewards, they will work hard. If their efforts bear fruit, they will redouble their efforts."

He made a simple judgment.

"So, as long as you fight, you can continue to grow, and your body and mind are so uncoordinated. Once you realize it, it will be difficult to endure it anymore."

"Even...even if this is the case...!"

After exhaling, Hiratsuka Shizu's eyes were still fixed on him.

"You should stop them quickly now! Isn't it only you who can do this? Mr. Porusalino!"

"Don't worry about it, just watch it."

Porusalino looked unconcerned, but——

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizu's gaze was intense, as if he was questioning something silently.

Porusalino lowered his head and thought for a moment before explaining lightly.

"Teacher Hiratsuka, children can have growing fever and growing pains, the kind of illnesses that will get better if you just leave them alone. You should know this, right?"

"Huh? Really? There is this...cough, cough, cough, cough..."

After a series of concealing coughs, Shizuka Hiratsuka asked tentatively.

"Teacher Porusalino, what do you mean?"

"Yes, this is something similar. After the transformation is completed and the shortcomings of the barrel are repaired, they will slowly wake up on their own."

"That would be fine, but..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was visibly relieved at first, but then she frowned and muttered as if to herself.

"What to do next? I'm serious, what happened now can no longer be covered up, and the government will never let it go..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who became more and more anxious as she thought about it, bit her finger unconsciously.

"no problem."

"How can it be okay?!"

"Do you know? Mr. Hiratsuka."

Porusalino told her a truth very seriously.

“As long as you don’t treat the problem as a problem, there won’t be a problem.”

"...Teacher Porusalino, your speech is rubbish."

After being speechless for a moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka breathed out softly and glanced at him contemptuously.

"Then to put it simply, no matter how things develop, they can act according to their own will, and I will be responsible for ensuring that the result is achieved."

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizu looked stunned, then sighed helplessly.

"This time, he suddenly said something very remarkable again."

"Oh yo yo, Mr. Hiratsuka, who do you think I am?"

Porusalino smiled, Shizuka Hiratsuka in his field of vision gradually became shorter, and he turned his attention again to the fighting figure in the sky.

"Hey, are you two almost ready? The police car is coming soon~"

How much time has passed?

The valley no longer covers, no longer binds.

Although it only lasted for more than ten days.

But everything is very different.

Like laziness after waking up——

As the joints all over his body crackled, the man who was nearly three meters tall quickly let go of his momentum.

After a trance.

Suddenly——

A big sun jumped up from the horizon, and endless light burst out.

This is an illusion -

It is an illusion produced by mental oppression and optic nerve stimulation.

However, it is different from before.

It is extremely majestic, extremely magnificent, and has an unparalleled sense of presence. It brings not fear, but emotion.

In an instant, two figures separated from each other at high altitude, and then they lowered their heads to look at each other.

Those two pairs——

Persistent, selfless, both warm and cold, the eyes without thoughts reflected the small figure on the ground indifferently.

"..."

Nami stands high in the sky.

Slowly loosen your clenched fists, flex your five fingers and clasp them inward, and make your right hand look like a tiger's claw.

A small cyclone wraps around the fingertips of the five fingers, and the spiral vortex begins to surge from the fingers, winding like a dragon, winding like a snake...

The sound of wind hunting at high altitude.

The sleeves shattered silently, revealing a smooth, white and tender arm.

Then, right after.

Completely disproportionate, huge white tiger claws extend from the shoulders.

Countless, the wind blades that cut through gold and jade were covered in white, and the clanking sounds converged into a soul-stirring low roar.

[Six postures and one arm·Lan Wushen·Feng Conghu]

The hairs on the skin trembled and rubbed violently, and the fine electric light lingering all over the body continued to connect deep into the body.

The sound of birds chirping.

Blue crane wings grew out from Nuo Qigao's shoulder blades, rubbed against the atmosphere, and turned into satin-like ribbons of light that extended to the sky.

[Six-Style Kai·Heshengyiyi·Tianji Liuguang]

A little foot stepped on Nuo Qigao's back.

"Wow—"

The clear chirp of a crane echoed through the clear sky.

Nuo Qigao relaxed her whole body to the extreme, allowing herself to be captured by gravity, and sank downwards after this step.

The crane's wings flapped gently, and a brilliant light like an aurora enveloped Nami overwhelmingly.

Nami jumped up and slowly rose, leaning back, clasping her left hand together, and holding the crane feather with the tiger claw of her right hand lying horizontally underneath.

The bright light flowed into the tiger's claws, and the huge tiger claws suddenly swelled again, and her body stretched from head to foot...

After a moment of being in the air, Nami began to fall.

The small figure rubbed against the atmosphere and produced fire.

She opened her eyes and gently pressed down with her right hand.

Tiger claws covering the entire atrium fell from the sky.

"Roar--"

Wind and thunder were entangled, flames were blazing, and meteorites fell from the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

What was reflected in everyone's eyes at this moment was like this——

It was a blow that was as powerful as a meteor falling to the ground, enough to wipe the entire Chiba City Sobu High School off the map.

"...It's such a powerful instinct. I thought you could only punch, but now that's the case..."

Put down your raised hand, put your hands into your trouser pockets, lean forward slightly, and lift your heels slightly off the ground.

"Speed ​​is weight, Nokigao, Nami, you two——"

The tone of voice rose briskly, and the leisurely questions echoed far away, ringing in everyone's ears.

"Have you ever been kicked by the speed of light?"
