System's POV

Chapter 448: The Beautiful Righteous Sentinel [Part 2]

The moment Little_Sister_13 appeared in the Coliseum, the crowd went wild. She was considered a top celebrity among GANDAM Duel Masters.

All of her matches were exciting, and nine out of ten, she won almost all of them.

However, she only fought in the Mortal Combat Mode, and never in the Wanderer Combat Mode.

Since the Heaven Ranking was for people below the age of twenty, everyone assumed that Little_Sister_13 was a beautiful teenage girl whom everyone would want as their sister.

"Damn you, Derek!" Mighty Deek shouted. "Switch with me! Let me fight her! She's too good for you dammit!"

"That's right! You go die, Sword Meister 41!"

"Kill him, Little Sister!"

"""Kill him!"""

"""Kill him!"""

"""Kill him!"""

"""Kill him!"""

The spectators unanimously voted for Derek's execution, prompting the latter to flash them the middle finger.

Right now, the Sword Master of the Hero Party felt as if his heart was breaking apart.

Just an hour ago, he was one of these bastards who idolized and even dreamed of meeting Little_Sister_13 in real life. He had even fantasized about asking her out for a date.

But now that he knew that one of the most sought-after lady warriors of the GANDAM World was only an eight-year-old, Derek felt as if he had been slapped by his mother's flip-flops a dozen times over.

"Battle Starts in Three Seconds!"

The AI shouted, pulling Derek out of his daze.

'I need to focus!' Derek thought, taking a fighting stance simultaneously with the timer starting its countdown. 'I've become stronger since the last time I fought her. I'm sure I can win this time!'

3!

2!

1!

Duel Start!

As soon as the signal to start the battle was declared, Derek immediately charged forward, with the tip of his sword nearly touching the ground.

The Mortal Combat Mode was a purely physical battle, with everyone having the same strength they had in real life.

Here, those who knew martial art techniques stood out. With this setting, everyone would be able to tell if someone received proper training or just wildly throwing punches, sword slashes, and kicks at their opponents.

Remi's Avatar, Little_Sister_13, started to move erratically, using the footwork of the Steadfast Brawler.

Derek had watched her battles many times in the past, even attempting to dissect this move so that he could defeat her.

Back then, he wanted to defeat the masked warrior, intending to ask her out on a date if she lost.

Obviously, all those thoughts were already thrown out of the window. The only thing on his mind now was to use the technique he had especially developed to counter her fighting style.

Just as he was about to do a sword thrust to attack the location that he believed was Remi's next destination, the young lady suddenly charged forward and threw out a straight punch.

Derek had half-expected something like this, so he carefully side-stepped to avoid Remi's attack.

However, Remi only did that as a feint, in preparation for her true attack, which was a back kick.

Before Derek could even react, a sharp pain assaulted his senses, forcing him to take a few steps back after the little girl's kick landed on the side of his body.

But before he could regain his balance, Remi had already crossed the distance and unleashed a blow aimed at Derek's family jewels, which was Little_Sister_13's killer move, the Nutcracker Kick.

The pain one felt in the GANDAM Duel Master was very realistic, which was why many people held the Virtual Fighting Game in high regard.

This was also why men who were unlucky enough to get hit by Remi's Killer Move thought thrice before challenging her again.

Some would even ask her to not use this technique during their duel, which Remi honored as long as it was mentioned before the battle started.

Unfortunately, Derek had forgotten about it due to his shock of finding out the Second Top Ranker's true identity.

Out of desperation, Derek used his left hand to protect his family jewels and used his right hand to swing his sword, in an attempt to force Remi to distance herself from him.

However, instead of backing away, Remi only raised her hand and deflected the sword strike with the braces she was wearing.

These braces served as Remi's shield, which she used to deflect sword strikes.

Although it was not indestructible like Wonder Wom*n's Bracelets of Victory, which could deflect bullets and other strong attacks, Remi had been trained by her brother to not fear bladed weapons as long as she was wearing her bracers. ????????.???

The Righteous Sentinel was a fighting style used by dual weapon wielders, but it could also be used by unarmed strikers like Remi.

Since Derek was busy protecting his family jewels, Remi's uppercut connected with his jaw, rattling his brain and making him stagger.

Remi finished him off with an elbow strike to the chest, making Derek collapse on the ground.

"Little_Sister_13 Win!"

The AI declared Remi's victory because Derek was no longer able to battle.

Once again, the crowd cheered, with Mighty Deek shouting, "Marry me and I will give you lots of babies!" on the top of his lungs.

Thirteen made sure to remember the young man's username. If he ever came across Mighty Deek in a free matching game in the future, he would make sure to use the Nutcracker Kick's Ultimate Form to teach him a lesson.

After winning the battle, Remi exited the Duel Coliseum and logged out.

Derek, on the other hand, was twitching on the floor, clearly still in pain.

A few minutes later, the Swordsman finally recovered from the pain and looked at the eight-year-old with a complicated look on his face.

Finally, as if making a decision, Derek knelt in front of Remi and said, "Please, make me your disciple!"

A moment later, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head.

Thirteen used a chopping strike to teach the bastard a lesson. The other party was too daring, taking advantage of her sister's kindness.

After delivering the blow of punishment, the teenage boy shifted his attention to his sister and asked her a question.

"So, what do you think, Remi?" Thirteen asked.

"It seems that he studied how I fight," Remi replied. "But because he's paying too much attention to every little thing I do, his moves become predictable."

Thirteen nodded.

The Steadfast Brawler wasn't an absolute Martial Technique.

However, whenever he and Remi sparred together, he would attack her using a technique that directly countered her fighting style.

He was teaching her ways how to adapt to every scenario, committing everything into a muscle memory.

Because of this, those who analyzed her fighting style would fall prey to the counters that she had developed due to the countless spars that she had with her brother.

"Tomorrow, we will start with your footwork," Thirteen told Derek, who was still rubbing the back of his head. "You dare call yourself a Sword Master when you can't even use your sword properly. Your Sword Teacher would definitely smack you if he had seen your match just now."

Derek lowered his head because what the teenage boy said was right.

He had been too focused on Remi's attack patterns that he forgot to attack, focusing only on dodging and defending against her strike.

A sword's reach was longer than that of a fist, so he should have managed to fight Remi properly if only he fought more calmly.

"Diana, you're next," Thirteen stated.

Diana nodded before giving her opponent a respectful bow. "Remi, please fight me seriously, okay?"

"You won't be fighting Remi," Thirteen replied before his sister could reply. "You will be fighting Albion."

The Unicorn glanced at the thirteen-year-old and gave him the "what the hell are you talking about?" gaze, making Thirteen smirk.

"You've been lazing around too much," Thirteen told the Unicorn, who was now the size of a Siberian Husky. "Time for you to show me if you've not been slacking with your training."

Albion scoffed, not planning to let Thirteen get his way.

"Alby, go win!" Rhia immediately hugged the Unicorn's neck and gave him a kiss. "Win, okay?"

Albion nodded, no longer planning to lose after receiving Rhia's order.

The Unicorn then stared at the Crusader of the Hero Party and talked to her through telepathy.

"Wash your neck, girl," Albion said. "I won't be holding back."

Diana, who thought that she would be fighting against Remi, frowned.

But since she was the one who asked to be trained, he decided to trust the teenage boy who had chosen the Unicorn as her opponent.

GANDAM Duel Master was not only a game that allowed people to fight against other people.

It was also a game that allowed users to fight monsters that were listed on its database.

The Avatars of the Wanderers could be registered in the game as well, allowing anyone to fight against Monsters and know their battle styles.

This was what made GANDAM stand out even more from the rest. It was truly something that prepared Wanderers for their journey in Solterra.
