Chapter 15: Snowflake Type II, the tide of battle is reversed, the outcome?
"At this time, the personal formatting is completed...this is cheating! The time is too accurate, isn't it?!"
Just when he was about to curse, an aircraft painted in eye-catching blue and white appeared in the drifting smoke.
Seeing Ichika safe and sound, Cecilia was surprised. Then she thought of something and said:
"Is it the first form transformation? Did you just fight with a machine that only had initial settings?"
Ichika himself didn't quite understand this.
"Although it's not very clear. However, this machine has finally become my exclusive use."
"That knife..."
At this time, Illya's eyes were on Ichika's weapon with a strange look in her eyes.
"Snowflake Type 2..."
Immediately afterwards, a virtual screen filled with introductory information popped up.
"This... I'm really willing to give it up... just leave it to Ichika?!"
"Snowflake Type 2" is the weapon used by Chifuyu when she reached the top position. It is a weapon specially produced for IS.
"I have the strongest sister in the world..."
As Ichika spoke, the attack form of "Snowflake Type 2" unfolded. The beam-shaped sword extended out.
"However, I can't continue to be protected by her. From now on, I will also protect my family."
"Ah? What are you talking about?"
Cecilia couldn't understand what Ichika said at all.
"Well... should we applaud here? The boy finally has the consciousness to grow into a man..."
However, for Illya who investigated Ichika's past information, she can still understand it in general.
Once upon a time, Ichika was kidnapped, and the reason for the kidnapping was unknown.
At that time, it was during the second Mondogrosso-is World Series.
In order to save Ichika, Chifuyu decisively gave up the championship competition.
"In short, we must first protect Sister Chifuyu's reputation."
Having said this, it seems that Ichika is still very concerned about the kidnapping incident.
"If my brother is too useless, he will lose face."
"It's annoying, it's so troublesome!"
Cecilia couldn't bear to see Ichika talking to herself.
After complaining, he launched the attack again, and four missiles were quickly launched.
"Saw!"
Ichika yelled and started an evasive movement.
"Oh! It's different after personal formatting. The synchronization rate is very high."
As Illya sighed, Ichika deftly avoided the pursuit of the missiles and cut them in half one by one, avoiding the aftermath of the explosion at high speed.
"It works!"
With a loud shout, Ichika approached Cecilia again. This time, Cecilia had no time to launch any attack, Ichika was approaching too fast.
At this time, a whistle sounded.
"competition is over."
Then, the arena's announcement sounded.
"The winner, Cecilia Orugordo."
Then, voices of doubt rang out, even from the two parties involved.
"Tsk, tsk, you're really immature."
This result was both unexpected and expected by Illya.
is is actually just like a human warrior. In battle, both mental and physical strength are very important.
Among them, the physical strength of a warrior is equivalent to the energy of IS. After Ichika, a rookie, mastered the "Snowflake Type 2" attack method, he actually forgot to check Ichika's energy consumption. It can only be said that it was really a rookie's performance.
Just like Illya said, it's immature.
"The fight is finally over. It's my turn to appear next."
Illya moved the claw-shaped palms of the "Dragon Knight" and lightly jumped into the sky.
"Why...why did I lose?"
Looking at Illya flying up, Ichika asked in a daze.
"Idiot, look at your energy consumption."
Regarding Ichika's complete rookie performance, Illya unceremoniously used the word "idiot".
"Energy? Well... ugh?! How come it's bottomed out? Wasn't there a lot just now?!"
Ichika looked at the big 0, indicating that the energy had bottomed out, and was very puzzled.
"Ichika, the 'Snowflake Type 2' uses a shield-nullifying attack. Fight without considering the characteristics of the weapon. It's a natural result."
Then, Chifuyu's voice came from the public communication channel.
"Shield nullification attack?"
For Ichika, who has not been exposed to IS for a long time, this is a term that is difficult to understand at once.
"Cut the opponent's shield and cause direct damage to the main body. This is the special ability of 'Snowflake'."
Chifuyu spoke openly about the attack principle of "Snowflake Type 2" on the public channel.
"This is also the function of converting one's own shield energy into attack. My ability to win the championship in the first Mondogrosso largely relied on this ability."
Regarding the fact that she relied on weapons to achieve victory, Chifuyu also spoke out without any hesitation.
"Really... No wonder the remaining shield energy of the 'White Style' suddenly became 0."
This time, Ichika finally understood.
"Well, do you finally understand?"
Illya patted Ichika on the shoulder.
"You know, in a IS battle, whoever's shield energy becomes 0 will lose. The attack you just made was at the expense of your own shield, causing damage to the opponent. You can't do it if you don't pay attention. This is a double-edged sword.
"
"In other words, your is is a defective machine."
Following Illya's words, Chifuyu's voice came from the public channel again.
"Defective machine?!"
Ichika was surprised by what Chifuyu said.
"Well, that's not a good statement. It's not a finished product in the first place, and it can't be said to have flaws. Your body is more focused on attack than other bodies. Above, if you want to continue, you should take a rest.
You can continue as long as you want. The right to use the venue today will last until after school."
"Well, that's right. Do you want to take a rest? After all, the battle just now was quite intense. Your mental and physical strength were consumed to a certain extent, right? I wasn't consumed at all."
Illya walked around the two of them and asked.
"Your Highness Illya, please allow me to rest for a while. I have something to think about, and I would like you to go ahead with this next session... um, yes? Madara-san, please go ahead."
Cecilia looked at Ichika thoughtfully, then bowed to Ilia and quickly left the center of the arena.
"Okay, so Ichika, do you want to take a rest?"
Illya glanced at Cecilia, who was acting strangely, with some confusion, and then asked about Ichika who was still present.
"Me? No need. I want to fight a little longer while my hands are still warm."
Ichika gave the answer without thinking.
"Really? Then you'd better go and rest for a while! Let your head calm down first!"
Illya directly grabbed Ichika's shoulders and threw him towards the IS entrance of the arena.
"Ugh?! Why?!"
Ichika didn't understand Illya's intention. After stabilizing his body, he looked at Illya in the air without knowing why.
"Are you going to use a 0-energy body to fight me?"
Illya rolled her eyes at Ichika's indolence.
"a ha ha ha……"
So, Ichika touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly before running into the preparation room to replenish energy.
(Xiao Ai: In the next chapter, the battle between Illya and Ichika officially begins, so stay tuned...)
