Chapter 160

Forty-three!

Sweat beaded on Wakamiya Minato's forehead, dripping down her pretty cheeks and onto the ground.

Forty-five!

The eyes beneath the red hair and bangs gradually became murky and empty.

Biting her lip, Wakamiya Minato threw a powerful punch at Luo Mio.

But Luo Mio easily dodged the punch thrown by her already powerless arm.

Forty-six!

Forty-seven!

I felt two distinct touches on my shoulders.

Wakamiya Minato struggled to spin her body and threw a punch at Luo Mio.

Luo Mio shifted slightly, feeling a gentle touch on her arm.

Forty-eight!

His body was already exhausted, and he let out a nearly collapsing cry. His Stellar Power had been almost completely depleted at some point.

While she was still in a daze, Luo Mio gently tapped her again.

Forty-nine!

Luo Mio's voice rang in Wakamiya Minato's ears again.

Beneath her red hair and bangs, her eyes were already empty and lifeless.

Some images gradually surfaced in my mind...

"Huh?! Dad, are there really rabbits on the moon?"

The young red-haired girl innocently looked up and asked her father beside her.

"Then... does Minato think so?"

The red-haired girl nodded emphatically.

"Um!"

"Then Daddy will go to the moon to confirm it for you, okay?"

"But isn't the moon very, very far away?"

Minato looked at the silvery moon hanging in the night sky and said.

"It's precisely because it's so far away that it's worth going."

Why?

"Hmm... maybe it's because that's Dad's dream..."

"Dream...? What's that?"

"Dreams... the so-called dreams..."

Memories shifted again.

Ten years ago, I received a message...

His father lost his life in an accidental explosion caused by a fire in a new rocket engine.

As an adult, she came to Asterisk and St. Freya Academy to fulfill the shared dream with her deceased father.

Darkness reappeared, as if it had transformed into ocean waves, threatening to devour Wakamiya Minato's consciousness.

A sliver of silvery moonlight flickered in her empty, lifeless eyes...

"Return--"

"Without..."

"Over--!"

A glimmer of color appeared in Wakamiya Minato's cloudy, empty eyes.

A surge of Stellar Power suddenly erupted within her body.

The gauntlet -Kou-type Weapon gleamed with its brilliance.

Then gather all the power into your left hand.

Strike with all your might.

"——"

Wakamiya Minato, her consciousness hazy, stared at the figure in front of her with blurred vision.

It seemed as if Luo Mio's palm was gently pressing down on her fist.

Then I heard a sound.

"One."

After saying that, Luo Mio laughed and said...

"Congratulations, Wakamiya-kun."

Chapter 82: Special Training

"Hmm..."

A soft murmur escaped from his mouth.

The person gradually regained consciousness...

Wakamiya Minato slowly opened her eyes.

An unfamiliar ceiling...

"Minato!"

Beside her, Renjouji Yuyu's voice reached her ears.

Wakamiya Minato turned her head to look and saw Renjouji Yuyu looking at her with a sigh of relief.

"Yuzuki ..."

Wakamiya Minato's eyes gradually brightened.

"Here it is..."

He slowly moved his head and glanced around.

Renjouji Yuyu said softly, "This is the medical room."

"Medical room...?"

"Have you forgotten?" Renjouji Yuyu reminded him, "You fainted during your final match with the chairman."

"Ah..."

After being reminded by Renjouji Yuyu, Wakamiya Minato remembered her match with Luo Mio that afternoon.

He recalled that before he lost consciousness, his fist had forcefully struck Luo Mio's palm.

And the words spoken by Luo Mio.

"Congratulations, Wakamiya-kun."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Wakamiya Minato's pretty face.

"Yuzuki... I did it."

Wakamiya Minato struggled to sit up.

"Um."

Renjouji Yuyu, supporting her, also nodded with a smile.

"Minato!"

At that moment, the door to the medical room opened, and a woman's voice rang out.

Wakamiya Minato turned her head to look.

A girl wearing glasses ran in, panting.

"Little Sparrow..."

Upon seeing the girl with glasses, Wakamiya Minato called out her name.

Que'erxi, her friend and also her roommate in the dormitory.

"Are you alright?" Que'erxi asked quickly.

Wakamiya Minato flashed a bright and cheerful smile, saying energetically, "It's alright now."

Seeing Wakamiya Minato's smile, Que'erxi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that he has almost recovered."

A familiar voice rang out at the door of the medical room.

The women looked over and saw Luo Mio leaning against the door frame at the entrance of the medical room, her azure eyes smiling as she looked at Wakamiya Minato.

"President."

"Senior Luo Mio."

"President... President."

Luo Mio nodded slightly, indicating her presence.

"That..."

Wakamiya Minato looked at Luo Mio and said, "Thank you for your guidance this afternoon, President."

Luo Mio waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing.

"It's nothing."

Then Luo Mio added, "I'm here for two things."

"Two things...?"

Luo Mio held up one finger and said, "First, let's see if you've regained consciousness."

Her azure eyes swept over Wakamiya Minato.

"However, judging from your appearance now, you should have recovered."

Then, he raised his second finger.

"Second..."

Luo Mio stared intently at Wakamiya Minato with her emerald eyes and asked, "Wakamiya-san, are you free all day tomorrow?"

Wakamiya Minato looked at Luo Mio with a puzzled expression. Although she didn't know why Luo Mio had asked her this question, she nodded and replied.

"Some."

Since tomorrow is a day off, Wakamiya Minato can be said to be free 24 hours a day.

Upon hearing Wakamiya Minato's answer, Luo Mio's lips curled into a smile.

"Alright then..."

"Okay?"

Wakamiya Minato tilted her head and looked at Luo Mio with a puzzled expression.

Luo Mio looked at Wakamiya Minato and said, "Wakamiya-san, I'll be waiting for you at the school gate at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Huh?"

Wakamiya Minato was momentarily stunned and let out a soft, hesitant sound.

Then slowly open your eyes wide.

"Then, I'll take my leave." After explaining her purpose, Luo Mio waved goodbye to the three women and left.
