Chapter 298

The Excited Martial Arts

Today was supposed to be a rest day, and no student would want to stay in school. However, Wuki was different. She accidentally left some items at school and returned to retrieve them, only to witness a battle between the Kamen Rider and the Pretty Cures.

Now, as the current grand disciple of the Mingtangyuan School and the planned successor to the inheritance, when she saw this “spider monster” chasing after the Pretty Cures, even though she had refined her body and mind for ten years as a martial artist in the Mingtangyuan style, a cold sweat still seeped out from her forehead due to the pressure coming from the opponent.

Facing this devouring aura, Wuki’s instincts wanted to turn around and run away immediately.

However, she could not show cowardice in front of such a person!

Standing in front of Ash, Wuki was dressed in a pure white gi. When she finally mustered the courage to stand before him, much of her fear strangely vanished, leaving only the serenity she felt within the dojo.

Ash watched every move Wuki made. He could smell the scent of fear from this brown-haired boy putting up a stance, but despite being afraid, he stood tall. This made Ash nod approvingly.

His footing was stable, and his stance clearly prepared for combat rather than just for show. It seemed he was indeed a skilled fighter.

Facing me with such fighting spirit, he’s not an ordinary路人 at all; how interesting!

Just now, Lei mentioned wanting to bring friends over to play, and from what I can see, this must be the person she meant.

Thus, have I found a jade unpolished?

A playful idea blossomed in Ash’s heart, so he set aside his original goal of assessing the current strength of the two Pretty Cures.

“Kayin, deactivate the locust gene fusion.”

It’s tiring to look down on someone unexpectedly.

“Alright, but boss, please stop saying such weird things.”

“What do you mean by weird things? I’m just stating what I feel.”

Regarding Ash’s personality, even Kayin, who is his inner demon, couldn’t help but retort.

“Though your power may fall short, your aura is quite impressive. I like that.”

“Eh?” Wuki was taken aback by Timons’ sudden praise, especially the sound of their clapping, “Thank you…even if you are complimenting me!”

Even though they were enemies, Wuki’s good upbringing led her to return the gesture first and continue maintaining her stance.

I won’t let my guard down either!

Against ordinary people, Ash truly has no use for underhanded tactics. At present, he was simply expressing admiration.

“Well, what did I tell you? It’s precisely because I say what I think that I’m seen as weird!”

This seemingly carefree fellow isn’t at all wimpy when facing someone he deems worthy! According to our shared memories, even Ultraman has fallen victim in the past. As for girls, the damage inflicted is even greater!

However, the currently silencing-ed Kayin could only pray that these Precures, now under scrutiny, would treasure themselves and not take this person’s words seriously.

“Courage is commendable, but you should know who I am.”

Resting his arms on the school’s exercise gear, Ash leisurely adopted a relaxed posture.

“I don’t know, but I can’t just sit back and let you do something to Miss Precure!”

“You should be afraid instead.”

Wuki wasn’t unfamiliar with the existence of the Pretty Cures as she too had once been lost and stripped of her Heart Flower, turning into a Desert Beast. It was the Pretty Cures who purified the monster and saved her. In her heart, she, along with others she had been helped, felt immense gratitude towards these beautiful maidens.

Thus, facing Timons, who had wronged the girls, Wuki’s warrior spirit flared. Even knowing she was no match for him, she couldn’t just stand idly by!

So she stepped forward, stopping Timons from pursuing further.

“I am indeed scared.”

But, this is not a reason for retreat.

“But as the Student Council president, I have reasons to protect the academy. You will not be permitted to cause trouble here! Please leave!”

“Hahaha! Another Student Council president? How intriguing!”

In his travels, Ash had encountered many commoners aiding heroes in various ways. For example, there were the leaders of squadrons like commanders, the fathers behind knights, and that little brother whose voice always reminded one of something close… These all counted. As for the teacher who stabbed Belmosutan blind and the duo wielding whips who took down mighty heroes and monsters together, it’s best to not include them. Even now, Ash found it hard to understand how they managed that.

Do you wish to dance with a hero too?

Listening to Wuki’s words, such an inexplicable familiarity made Ash laugh heartily. The man then suddenly took off his belt, reverting to his masked persona below.

“What…what do you intend to do?!”

Ash’s actions did not reassure Wuki; instead, they heightened her vigilance, unsure of his intentions.

“Because it’s interesting, I’ll give you a chance.”

He thrust his right hand forward while clenching his left into a claw by his side, imitating an animal as he slightly lowered his stance, presenting a fighting pose similar to Wuki’s.

Seeing this, the girl narrowed her eyes; she could feel this person’s aura—it too, was undoubtedly that of a martial artist!

“You may call me Timons.”

“I’ll restrain my strength to ordinary levels to test your skill. Do your best to satisfy me.”

After all, it’s been a long time since I’ve done any such martial training.

Wiggling two fingers, he provocatively beckoned to her.

Wuki didn’t fall for it, but instead closely followed his movements, taking a deep breath and exuding her remaining focus. Her feet slightly sidestepped.

“Mingtangyuan School, at your service!”

“Linshou Fist, My Style, at your service now!”

The two gradually moved their feet in opposite directions, their distance constantly increasing and decreasing. Until the morning dew on a leaf finally fell, triggering an unknown switch that sent them charging at each other!

Fists meeting fists!

Legs colliding legs!

Simultaneously attacking and retreating, the two delivered a roundhouse kick mid-air, their shins meeting with a dull thud.

At this moment, influenced by Ash’s strange whimsical state and his desire for a talented find.

“Victory!”

A martial arts duel began.
