She looked around with the keenness of a cat. After confirming that there was no Dorm Supervisor nearby, she walked quickly out of the dormitory area and headed to the location agreed upon with Accelerator.
In an abandoned, deserted factory, Accelerator had arrived early. He was currently sitting on a long steel bar, holding an empty can of coffee he had finished drinking.
"Hasn't she arrived yet?"
Accelerator closed his eyes and waited patiently for Chinatsu. Relying on his precise control of the surrounding airflow, he could capture everything within it, much like casting a large net into the ocean.
"I'm here."
Accelerator slowly stood up from the steel bar. At the same time, Chinatsu walked up to him, ignoring the darkness of the environment. She shrugged her shoulders lazily and let out a lazy yawn.
Most people were either early-to-bed, early-to-rise types or late-to-bed, late-to-rise types, and she certainly wasn't the type to test the limits of her body by staying up late and waking up early; she was the rare type who went to bed early and woke up late.
During the school term, she would ensure she got nine hours of sleep, and on her days off, she would ensure she got ten hours or more of sleep.
Normally, at this time, she would already be comfortably tucked into her bedding with an eye mask on. It was only because this gentleman in front of her was the one looking for her that she came; otherwise, she would have dragged it out until tomorrow.
"So, what is it?"
Facing Chinatsu's straightforward question, Accelerator did not immediately discuss the matter at hand. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as his fighting spirit rose.
"Remember how we tied last time? Let's take this opportunity to fight again. We can talk about other things after we've decided the winner between us."
Full of fighting spirit, Accelerator used his absolute power to crush the coffee can in his hand into a pellet. Watching the other party suddenly enter battle mode, Chinatsu, who had just finished yawning, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth slightly.
"Can't we talk first and then fight..."
Chinatsu let out a long, helpless sigh, and then quickly entered a serious state. Setting aside the Gravity Shield she usually used, she deployed the Absolute Territory that had once made it impossible for Accelerator to get near her.
Seeing this, the corners of Accelerator's mouth curled up slightly. Last time, he had been thinking about reverse-engineering the defense of this unknown force field to break through it, but unfortunately, Chinatsu had called a stop to the match.
The two locked eyes, and in silence, they almost simultaneously stomped their feet and rushed toward each other.
Bang!!!
Their arms collided violently. The steel bars behind Accelerator were affected by the gravity and floated upward, while the steel bars behind Chinatsu were sent flying in all directions as if bombarded by missiles.
Because Accelerator possessed the Reflection Shield, Chinatsu, who was proficient in gravity attacks, did not have the ability to land a solid hit on Accelerator.
But likewise, because Chinatsu possessed a force field shield, Accelerator, who had not yet understood this unknown force field, could not break through Chinatsu's defense either.
Between their colliding arms, there was actually a tiny gap that only they could see, as if they were wearing invisible and indestructible armor.
Absolute Defense VS Absolute Defense
Both of them understood that the battle on the surface was merely a distraction; the true beginning and end of this fight depended on who would first master the means to attack the other...
