Chapter 165: Rating Game 2

I stood facing our opponents, ready for whatever came next. Koneko-chan was beside me, her small but powerful frame tense with anticipation. The woman in the china dress assumed a kung fu stance, while the small girl with the stick prepared herself for battle.

Lastly, the twin girls grabbed their chainsaws with a smile. Wait, chainsaws?

DRILL! DRRRRRRRRRILL!

The chainsaws roared to life, making a dangerous, grinding sound.

Wow! Are you serious?

"Disassembling time :)" both twins chimed cheerfully.

Hey! You can't say things like that with such bright voices!

More importantly, I really didn't want to be disassembled! Those chainsaws looked seriously lethal.

BANG! BANG!

Koneko-chan and the china dress woman had already begun their fight a bit further away from us. It looked like a martial arts match, with both of them throwing powerful punches. As , each hit packed a punch. Koneko-chan seemed to have the advantage with her small build allowing her more freedom of movement, but the china dress woman was also moving swiftly, executing tricky attacks.

SWISH!

The girl, Mira, spun her stick with professional ease, making a whooshing sound as it cut through the air. My mind flashed back to training sessions where I had ended up getting hit by something—what, I still didn't know.

"Split, split, split, split, split!"

The twins came at me, chainsaws grinding against the floor, sending sparks flying. They swung their chainsaws at me with glee.

DRRRRRRRRILL!

I could hear the nasty sound near my ear. Wow! That was close! I just managed to dodge it in time.

I tackled one of the twins with my shoulder, putting some distance between us. Simple moves like this wouldn't reset the Boosted Gear. If I got too carried away and attacked them full force, the power would return to its original state.

SWISH!

I heard something slicing through the air behind me.

"Wow!"

I dodged the attack by a hair's breadth. The stick passed sharply through my armpit. Mira again! This time, I had managed to avoid it.

My body was moving better than I expected. The training, and Buchou unsealing some of the power of the pieces inside me, were paying off.

I can do this! I actually can do this! Confidence surged through me.

Just as I was feeling optimistic, the chainsaw grazed my cheek. Pain flared, and I could feel the blood trickling down. My uniform was cut in several places. Ugh, this was a dangerous situation.

The second power-up activated.

Despite the boost, the girls didn't hesitate to continue their assault. But I was ready. My body felt more responsive, my movements quicker. I could feel the power coursing through me.

I dodged Mira's stick again, feeling the wind from its swing brush past me. The twins charged, chainsaws roaring, but I was prepared. Using the Boosted Gear's power, I sidestepped their attacks, maneuvering with precision.

"Is that all you've got?" I taunted, feeling a rush of adrenaline.

The twins exchanged a look, their smiles faltering slightly. They hadn't expected this level of resistance. Good. It was time to turn the tide.

I moved swiftly, closing the distance between us. With a powerful kick, I disarmed one of the twins, sending her chainsaw flying. Before the other could react, I tackled her to the ground, pinning her down.

Mira lunged at me with her stick, but I was ready. I grabbed her wrist, twisting it just enough to make her drop the weapon.

Breathing heavily, I stood over them, victorious. "You underestimated me," I said with a grin. "Big mistake."

Koneko-chan and the china dress woman were still locked in combat, but I knew Koneko-chan could handle it. For now, I had to focus on ensuring these three stayed down.

With the immediate threat neutralized, I took a moment to catch my breath. The adrenaline was still coursing through my veins, making me feel invincible. I glanced over at Koneko-chan, who was expertly dodging and countering the china dress woman's attacks. She was holding her own, just as I knew she would.

"Issey! Behind you!" Koneko-chan's voice snapped me back to attention.

I turned just in time to see one of the twins getting back to her feet, her eyes blazing with determination. The other twin, still on the ground, was reaching for her discarded chainsaw.

"Oh no, you don't," I muttered, lunging forward. I kicked the chainsaw away, sending it skidding across the floor. The twin on the ground snarled in frustration but didn't dare move closer to it.

The standing twin swung her fist at me, but I dodged, countering with a quick jab to her midsection. She doubled over, gasping for breath. "Stay down this time," I warned her.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kiba and the rest of our team moving into position. We were coordinating well, and everyone was playing their part. This was going to work.

"Issey, let's finish this!" Koneko-chan called out, having finally bested the china dress woman. She lay on the ground, too exhausted to continue fighting.

"Right!" I nodded, feeling a surge of pride and determination. We had to finish this quickly and regroup with Buchou and the others.

Just as we were about to move, Mira lunged at me again, her stick aimed at my head. I ducked, grabbing her wrist and twisting it. She cried out in pain, dropping the stick.

"I told you to stay down, You cockroach." I said, throwing her to the ground.

With that she vanished as she was eliminate.

The third power-up activated. I could feel the energy surging through me, making me faster and stronger. With this much power, we could take down any remaining threats and secure our position.

Koneko-chan and I moved in sync, taking down the twins and Mira one last time.

They were persistent, but we were stronger, more determined. After a few intense minutes, we had them all subdued.

"Great job, Koneko-chan," I said, giving her a thumbs-up.

"You too, Issey-senpai," she replied.

2 pawns and one Rook gone.
