The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 167: Shortcut to become stronger

August 4th, early morning.

"Get up, get up, get up. Misaka followed Shiranui-senpai's instructions and came to wake up the sleepy senior."

"..." Ling Xingye didn't open his eyes, and said in a daze, "Leave me alone, you can have breakfast first..."

There were people in the room, Ling Xingye didn't sleep so dead. So he already knew about the movements of the two girls living together—Hitomi Shiranui was preparing breakfast, and Misaka 10001 was exercising on the balcony.

But even though he was conscious, Ling Xingye was still unwilling to get up subjectively.

By the way, Ling Xingye gave up his bed to two girls, while he made a bed near the entrance hall. In other words, as long as he doesn't get up and get out of the way, it will be difficult for Hitomi Shiranui and the others to get out.

It was really hard, the fight last night... Fortunately, that guy Yifangtong didn't seem to have the intention of killing the killer, and was willing to fight a "show battle" with me. Otherwise, I must not be able to hold on, right?

Ling Xingye couldn't help but reflect on the battle last night in his heart.

Strictly speaking, the general process is actually no different from the battle the day before yesterday, that is, the night of the 2nd. In the battle between the golden bell cover and the iron cloth shirt, Ling Xingye dragged on until the end of the battle relying on the space barrier and self-healing ability.

Of course, it was still a unilateral beating, and there was no way to cause any effective damage to Accelerator.

But... Ling Xingye knew very well that he couldn't always expect the enemy to show mercy. The first place is by no means a vain reputation, he doubts how much strength Fang Accelerator has used.

Moreover, even in the current state of "performance war", Ling Xingye can't last long.

Unlike Accelerator's comprehensive and invincible defense, Ling Xingye's side can't do everything - it has to rely on the self-healing ability of the blood of silver to recover from battle injuries at any time, which is why it barely maintains the appearance of "evenly matched".

Although Ling Xingye looks intact now, it takes a lot of energy from the human body to continuously stimulate the effectiveness of the silver blood—to put it simply, it is physical strength.

So Ling Xingye felt extremely tired at this time, even though he was awake, he still didn't want to get up.

"Ah, was it hard? Yesterday's battle?" Hitomi Shiranui came to his side and knelt down.

During the battle last night, Hitomi Shiranui stayed in the apartment and did not follow.

After Ling Xingye and Misaka 10001 came back, they saw that there were no injuries on their bodies—except that Ling Xingye's clothes were damaged in many places, Shiranuo Tong felt relieved.

"Hitomi..." Ling Xingye murmured, "I think I can sleep all day, so don't worry about me..."

"This is troublesome..." Hitomi Shiranui said, "Yesterday Xingye promised to mediate the dispute, so if you count the time, it's not too early."

"Ah... so troublesome!" Ling Xingye finally opened his eyes, "Why do I have to do such a troublesome thing?"

Hitomi Shiranui smiled and helped him up: "Okay, let's get up and eat something first. If you are still sleepy, sleep on the bed. I will greet them and postpone or cancel the mediation."

Because of his exhaustion, Ling Xingye was actually leaning on Shiranui Tong's arms.

Although it doesn't feel bad, but... the roles of the two sides are reversed, right?

Besides, Misaka 10001 is watching from the side.

Ling Xingye felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he planned to use silk thread to hang himself up and act as a puppet to control his actions.

Shiranui Hitomi tapped Ling Xingye's head lightly, interrupting his ability: "Don't do this kind of thing at home, right? Just rely on me."

Saying that, Shiranuotong strongly supported Ling Xingye to stand up.

"That's not good?"

"Don't worry, I'm not that weak!"

Seeing this, Misaka 10001 also stepped forward to support the other side, and together with Hitomi Shiranui brought Ling Xingye to the dining table.

"It's alright..." Ling Xingye opened his arms in embarrassment, "I feel like I'm crippled... I can just come by myself later on."

With that said, he worked hard, finally woke up his tired body, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

"Xingye, call!" Hitomi Shiranui's call suddenly came from outside, "It's Sister Yao."

Like Ling Xingye, she called Bai Yinyao Sister Yao.

Ling Xingye came out and answered the phone.

"Starry Night! Did you fight with Accelerator last night?"

Only then did Ling Xingye recall that Sister Yao objected to conflicting with an opponent of Accelerator's level.

"Uh... don't worry about this, the other party didn't take it seriously..." Ling Xingye explained.

"You, you really don't listen to advice! If you go on like this, you will be killed by yourself sooner or later, you know!" Bai Yinyao reprimanded sharply, "Also, how can you put your own safety on the enemy's mercy? I remember Xingye You're not that naive, are you?"

"This..." Ling Xingye sat down and looked at the two girls opposite, "I don't want to be naive...but there is no way. The current situation is that the enemy is too strong, so we can only rely on the unreliable tacit understanding between us. I hope he will not Get serious."

"By the way, Sister Yao, do you have a way to quickly increase your strength?" Ling Xingye asked, "Now I feel that sprites can no longer intervene in the battle. How about the magic reform mentioned earlier?"

"Of course it's impossible!" Baiyin Yao immediately dismissed his proposal, "Don't daydream, how can there be such an easy thing? But even if you want to upgrade the puppet, it can't be done in a day or two. If Xingye still plans to Go to fight with Accelerator every day, and then you can only look at yourself."

"Haha..." Ling Xingye laughed dryly ~lightnovelpub.net~ I also knew it would be like this..."

Ling Xingye, who was born in a traditional circus, is actually a pragmatic or realistic person just like his instructor, Leader Ling—things and skills that are not acquired through personal efforts are unreliable!

All the performances of the circus are said to be "tricks", but in essence they are the real skills of the actors in exchange for countless times of practice.

If you want to find something like "fast track" or "shortcut", leader Ling will definitely slap you with a big mouth at the first time, and then you will not be allowed to eat for a day, and the basic training will be tripled!

Therefore, even if Bai Yinyao really came up with a method that could make him stronger immediately... Ling Xingye would still think carefully about whether to use it... In the end, it is very likely that he will give up the "shortcut".

"But..." Bai Yinyao suddenly changed the subject, and even the two girls who were eating breakfast on the opposite side became interested, and looked over, "Xingye, don't you have "Thousand Machine Changes"? That is the ultimate secret book of puppet masters!"

Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui looked at each other in dismay - Hitomi Shiranui helped pick that scroll when they were shopping together.
