Incest Complex

Chapter 145 - Izanami 1

I continue watching the duel until one of the two students came out. Shina and another girl walk towards the arena. Oh, so this is the second-year mock battle.

As if she noticed my stare. Shina turns her head to me. Her usual expressionless face brightens when she sees me, she has a large smile on her face. This girl, she's so obvious. But it also brought a smile to me. I wave my hand and give her a good luck gesture.

Shina nodded. Her opponent became confused as to why the usual expressionless girl in her class suddenly made an expression. On top of that, she was smiling happily, the girl was shocked. But also the others who were watching. They then look towards the source of her change.

The people who were watching turn their heads to me. I tried not to hide myself using magic. Though it still feels uncomfortable being eye upon by countless eyes. I don't like being in the spotlight that much. My baby girl is giving me a headache, but looking at her sweet smile, I forgive her. I'm a doting father, aren't I?

The whistle sounded as the two transformed into their battlesuit. Shina also has a battlesuit. But, isn't this overdoing it. Her opponent doesn't have zern crystal as her core, it was one of the mass-produced battlesuits. What's with this unfairness. I feel sorry for her opponent. Shina's battlesuit is called [Izanami], The goddess of creation in Japan. Her transformation is different from the others.

Her battlesuit, she was adorned in a usual skin-tight suit that covers from neck to her thighs. Her armor can be called Miko/ Japanese priestess outfit. However, her red "Hakama" is shorter than the original, it looks more leaning on sexiness than a formality. The "Kosode" on the upper part of her body is so bold and hot, there's a large opening on the navel part while on the middle part is also open, in short, it was only covering the chest, if not for the skin-tight suit and red string that was tied to hold on the fabric. Shiina would be barely naked... It's erotic but, I don't like it when my daughter is wearing such a thing in front of many eyes. Who the hell designed it. On both of her arms is a separate part of the shite sleeve that was supposed to be connected to kosode. She also has these long pieces of transparent energy around her. That's "Tenne", it's usually found around the goddesses in myths.

(Hakama is a Japanese Miko skirt, while Kosode is the upper part. Tenne is a long piece of opaque clothing that can be found on Japanese or Buddhism Goddesses that circle their shoulders.)

Her only weapon is a small tanto she was holding. All, though it's small. I can feel an incredible amount of energy it exudes. I had a hunch that if she draw the small blade, everything she sees will be cut.

I'm afraid her opponent will not put a fight. This is a one-sided battle.

3rd PoV

'You are kidding right. I just said I want to my best ability. Why am I so unlucky. It was an opportunity to be able to catch that teacher's attention... Yet, My opponent is also a Chikushodo. God are you playing with me!?... There's no way I can with 'that'. Chikushodo Shiina, she's a part of the family. I don't have a chance to win. Should I give up...'

The opportunistic girl earlier was in dilemma. She was cursing her luck. Her mind is in a mess she wanted to give up, but this is a chance for her... if she can put up a fight against... No no no that's impossible for her.

Her opponent is the most smartest and talented in her class.

However, before she can decide. The whistle already sounded. The two equipped their battlesuit. The opportunistic girl was so tense as cold sweat on her forehead. One wrong move she is done.

The difference between her and Shina is so devastatingly pitiful. This is too cruel to see, the spectators already knew the outcome in their minds. They feel sorry for the girl, to have an opponent like this is tragic.

No one moves.

Shina looks at her opponent calmly. She knew if she make a move it would be instantly over. She also realizes that this match is one-sided. She's not trying to be narcissistic. Because that's the truth is, Shina felt this match is excessive. That's why she didn't move first, she wanted her opponent to fight with her toe to toe. It's unreasonable for her to do that right? She could have just ended the match in one attack.

Nevertheless, Shina is kind-hearted. She knew her opponent well. She is her classmate, Tsukiyo Tsugumi and she knew her overly opportunistic side.

This mock battle well serves to analyze the combat prowess of each student. Every month there's an evaluation of each student by doing mock battles. The matching is randomized.

Shina's opponent was unlucky to be matched with her.

Shina didn't wait too long as her opponent dash straight to her. Tsugumi's speed was fast but not fast enough to shock others. She reached shina after a few seconds and draw her sword in a horizontal slash. Unfortunately, the mass-produced battle suit doesn't have skills. It could only rely on the host's ability and strength.

Shina did not dodge, she stretch her hand towards the incoming slash. Her tenne extends as it deflects the incoming attack.

Tsugumi grit her teeth from being rebound. Her sword slashes again but again receive another deflection. She took a step back and sprinted to the side and run in a circle around Shina, searching for an opening. No matter how she looks at it, she can't find any.

Tsugumi knew it's futile to slash aimlessly. Frustrated, it's the only way for her. She dashes and slashes. Again and again, a clanking sound as her sword receives the tenne energy. She screamed in her head 'This is totally unfair.'

She knew shina deliberately didn't move first. Tsugumi knew the reason. That's why she didn't shina was looking down on her. Shina is a very good girl, she has the heart of a goddess. That's what she thinks of shina. She secretly thanked shina for allowing her to show her skills. Even though she will lose, doesn't mean she can't show what she is capable of doing. If she gave up from the start, her evaluation would be too dull that no one will find her interesting.

Shina was also having fun deflecting her opponent's attacks. She was amazed at how Tsugumi move, she was like a master. It was not fast, not powerful, nor fancy. It was a normal way of fighting yet, Tsugumi have a large smile on her face. Indicating she was having fun.

...

I watch the fight with a smile. I didn't expect Shina to be so benevolent. Really, she's so adorable. My daughter is so lovely. I will reward her later, I will give her some Dad's love. I bet she will be on cloud nine.

Her opponent, Well her name, Tsukiyo Tsugumi, is also very capable. She wasn't confident at first but when shina gave her a chance. I can sense she's having fun and her confidence skyrocketed. Although, she knew she can't win against shina. She didn't concede, she stood up and put a wonderful fight. Though, I can sense something from her enthusiasm.. Welp, it doesn't matter, a good fight is a good fight.
