I opened my lips slightly and began to take my rough breathing.

    Hee hee hee

    Every time you inhale and exhale,

    A clear and beautiful voice penetrates my ears.

    “… ”

    We are now familiar with the diction that the voice actor puts forth with all his might that comes out in everyday language, as well as the first-person perspective of the beautifully sculpted body and heavy chest rising and falling.

    It’s already been a year.

    I turned into a character in a game and started living.

    And the time when I competed with the strongest character and became stronger.

    -It’s a draw again.

    -Next time, I will definitely win.

    Today, we promised to decide the winner in a fighting competition in which all academy students participate.

    The stadium is built with the latest hard alloy materials.

    Until recently, it looked like a sacred temple.

    Now it was full of unsightly pits and scratches tens of meters in radius.

    Of course, it was a trace from the confrontation between me and her.

    The final of the fighting festival.

    The cheers from the tens of thousands of spectators gathered here were gone. Silence as if time had stopped. The students were just quietly holding their breath, witnessing the end of this fight.

    Beads of sweat flowed from my tightly clenched hands.

    Without even touching the dessert I brought to share with my friends.

    I could only watch with trepidation.

    One question that many female students in Academy City have had until now.

    [Who is the strongest student in the history of ?]

    At first, each person discussed profound reasons, but the argument turned into an emotional fight that led to gang fights in dessert shops and cafes. A topic that was so trivial and had no answer.

    Maybe at this moment.

    I am thinking that I may be witnessing the answer to that debate.

    The momentum in the fists of the two players aiming in the middle of the stadium. Because the power contained there was enough to be considered the strongest in Academy City’s history.

    ‘No, actually, I’m the only one with a fist clenched.’

    There was a lull in the fight while I was trying to catch my breath.

    I shook off the leisurely thoughts that had come for a moment from my mind.

    “Whoo, whoo… ”

    “Huh, suck… ”

    Because of the thought that this might be their last battle, the opponent was also unable to attack easily. They watch each other’s movements and aim for the moment when their breathing becomes disturbed.

    You too, one shot.

    I also took one.

    Then, it is important to decide who succeeds in administering one shot.

    I was amazed as I felt the other person’s breathing quickly becoming more stable.

    ‘As expected, he’s the strongest, his breathing has already returned.’

    [Blue and White Thunder Spear] Brunhild.

    A first-year student at .

    Appearance 2 years ago before appearing in the game’s story.

    Over the past year, she was a girl of the same age as me who fought with each other and became stronger.

    ‘According to the original setting, there was no opponent to confront until the third year at the time of the main story. ‘Now that I’ve fought and become stronger, I might be closer to that time.’

    Brünnhild.

    The strongest character in a mobile game I’ve ever played.

    She was catching her breath with a beautiful glow in her eyes.

    Although his silver-white hair and appearance are quite delicate, the force emanating from the lance he is holding is menacing.

    “… ”

    A silver-white girl who is shortened to ‘Hilde’ by those close to her. On a rare occasion, she spoke up in the middle of a fight.

    “… Lala.”

    “Oh my, it’s a big deal☆”

    “… ”

    “Hilde is chatting in the middle of a fight… Do you want to have girls’ talk?”

    I was definitely thinking and saying in my head, ‘Hilde, what’s going on?’, but ever since I woke up as the fucking ‘Clara’, the pretty filter in my head has been manipulating the lines as it pleases.

    But I thought it was okay.

    Isn’t conversation done with the heart?

    I firmly believed that true girls’ talk is achieved through blood and sweat.

    ‘You seem to be in a good mood today.’

    The blue of the sky seeped into Hilde’s silver-white eyes, giving them the vitality of a blue rose.

    Eyes shining brighter than any time I’ve seen them in the past year.

    Except for ‘the last moment of the main story in the game’…

    For the first time, he was showing his lively smile.

    Hilde said with that lively smile.

    “Thank you, Lara. For remaining undeterred over the past year.”

    “Hehe. Not much to say. And it was all a draw―☆”

    “Over the years, everyone who faced me was either frustrated or worshiped me.”

    “That’s right, Hilde is a cool girl that everyone admires―☆”

    I tried to say, ‘You’re only 11 years old, what kind of time are you talking about?’, but as expected, the pretty filter was activated and the content was distorted.

    “It was lonely days. I also lamented my inability to find a match for my talent, thinking it was like a curse from God.”

    “… ”

    “I’m glad I met you.”

    “Hehe.”

    “Thanks to you, at this moment… ”

    Taaat!

    Hilde’s breathing has completely stabilized. She stepped lightly and shot out at the speed of a bullet.

    “I realized that I was alive—!!!”

    Rumbling-!!

    With each step you take, the floor of the stadium is dented by several meters. Then, your entire body makes a threatening sound, and you move forward at the speed of a flash of light.

    Below the hem of the approaching silver-white girl’s skirt.

    The unfolding landscape is waves of rocks crushed by force.

    It was a thunderstorm that was constantly blowing around.

    The blue and white girl was approaching like the king of a storm, leaving behind a landscape of destruction.

    Suddenly.

    All vision flows slowly.

    What comes to mind is a topic of conversation.

    White light is sparkling beyond unconsciousness.

    Under the hot sun, what is shining at this moment?

    Was it a moment when a young girl shines like lightning?

    Was it luck that you got the chance to prove your strength in the game?

    Or did I learn something truly precious from overwhelming love?

    In the time created by the gathering of moments, all of them came together and sparkled perfectly… I didn’t know exactly.

    but.

    There is only one thing to know.

    If you miss this sparkle.

    The thought that I might regret it for the rest of my life.

    ‘then… ‘

    Let’s welcome it with open arms.

    Not the character ‘Clara’ in the game.

    As ‘Lara’, who grew into Hilde’s counterpart over the course of a year.

    In a miraculous moment beyond past life and present life.

    Let’s enjoy the fight that’s already happening here.

    As a gamer, let’s consider the opportunity to become a character in a game, grow, and compete against someone we admire as destiny.

    Just fighting.

    Let’s win for sure.

    With such determination, I clenched my fists and shouted.

    “Final five… !”

    Stretching out both fists is the end point of the skills I have been training for the past year.

    [Pink Lemon Sherbet]

    With a loud sound.

    Pink ether fluctuates in the air, spreading out in the shape of a heart.

    Pink hearts filled the surrounding area, like cherry blossom leaves falling on a bright spring day.

    Like the footsteps of innocent children playfully running around, they approach in irregular curves rather than straight lines.

    Porong-

    Countless hearts gathered into fists with a heartless sound.

    In the game, it was a remnant of the weakest gag skill that inflicted weak damage in a wide area.

    Since it is a meme character that is just laughed at, it is a joke-like skill created with playful intentions.

    The pink hearts slowly turn into a huge vortex and begin to rotate.

    Tsutsutsutsu-

    But putting them all in one place.

    Transform the force that should be scattered in all directions into a flow.

    If only I could turn it into a torrent of pink spirals flowing through my fist.

    A joke can go beyond laughter and become a horror.

    As the weakest comedy character, ‘Clara’, I created it with everything I had that prevented me from growing… Final five thoughts.

    [Pink Lemon Sherbet]

    Although the name came about because of the pretty filter, which is full of estrogen ingredients. I confirmed it. Because I acknowledged the changed part as a part of me.

    Kiiing—!!

    A huge spiral of pink hearts emerges from a fist. The wind creates a violent storm in a radius of several hundred meters.

    Taking the pink natural disaster in hand, we take a big step forward.

    I too am a spiral storm

    It became a wave walking on the earth.

    A fleeting moment.

    A storm of blue-white lightning collides with a spiral of pink hearts.

    impact.

    There was light where the two girls faced each other.

    Kwahiah Ahhh !!!!

    “Hwaaa―!!”

    “Haaat―!!”

    A pillar of light spreading out hundreds of meters.

    This is a battlefield where blue-white and pink flashes meet.

    Wind pressure generated where a pink torrent and a blue lightning strike meet.

    A place where two warriors standing on the battlefield collide, a swirling current.

    Gooo!!!!

    The center of the stadium is wider than a soccer field.

    Because of the rushing torrent of power, it was felt that everything in a radius of several kilometers was trembling.

    At this moment, a typhoon was blowing somewhere in Academy City Yorde.

    Kwasik!

    Kwasik!

    Just a fragment of the force thrown out from the point of impact causes the hard alloy floor to crack and bounce off. Several meter-sized fragments rise up like a dragon volcano along the spiral of power.

    “Kuhhh… !”

    When I woke up, I became a beautiful girl in a mobile game.

    After a year of not-so-pleasant academy life.

    Although he started as the weakest character and went through many hardships.

    I finally came to this place.

    “Haaa… !”

    If the flame in my heart hasn’t gone out.

    If you look at the sky with both fists clenched.

    If you are standing on the ground with both feet.

    Then, like a man, let’s be determined.

    With my last bit of selfishness, I ran to see the outcome of the game.

    Even if I lose.

    Wouldn’t it be enough if heaven, earth, and myself were watching over the efforts of the past years?

    Let’s empty it, let’s empty everything in our hearts.

    In the midst of the violent clashes, I erased from my mind the tens of thousands of spectators and the hundreds of competitors gathered in this stadium. I focused only on the person standing in front of me, the silver-white girl who was hitting on me with sincerity.

    Silver-white hair fluttering with the wind.

    I was only focused on defeating the girl who was enjoying this fight with all my might.

    silent

    thoughtless

    Free

    Unable to overcome the shock of the collision, blood flows back.

    I force myself to swallow the sore and blood that wells up in my throat.

    There is a great deal of pain, as if my neck is being scratched with sandpaper.

    ‘Then let’s erase even the pain.’

    By the time I even erased the pain from my head.

    Instead of a battlefield in front of my eyes, I only saw a white space.

    A white space where everything has been erased, bleached, and disappeared.

    It was when I felt like I was the only one left in the white space.

    ‘ah… ‘

    I could feel it.

    You were there too.

    “… Hilde.”

    Hilde was also looking at me in this extreme white space.

    “… Lala.”

    We faced each other in an extreme cognitive space unknown to anyone gathered here.

    Those who live in this world experience a miraculous realization that may come only once during their lifetime of training.

    Non-polar, non-polar.

    The two girls who got there faster than anyone else laughed with pure emotion.

    Right now.

    I instinctively felt that I had reached the highest position in this world that I could climb on my own.

    I felt unbearable joy that the people who reached that place together were each other.

    -Hehe.

    -Phew…

    -ha ha ha!

    -Hehehe!

    The quiet eye of a typhoon.

    A white realm that seems like eternity.

    The exhilarating laughter of the two girls who reached one step earlier.

    We will never forget this moment.

    me and you

    Right now.

    I dared to say it.

    [I am the strongest.]

    Kwahia Ahhh!

    A blinding flash of light.

    The moment that felt like forever passed.

    As the world’s colors return, it is sucked into the colliding storm.

    Finally, a veiled showdown.

    What I saw before my eyes was… The outstretched fist appeared to have gone beyond the lance and touched Hilde’s chest.

    “… la… D.”

    “… Hilde.”

    Hilde called my name for the last time and fainted while standing in the same position where she raised her lance.

    [victor!! The winner is Clara from !!]

    [[Pink Spiral] Clara is a student!!]

    [The strongest freshman and undefeated genius!! ‘s [Blue and White Thunder Spear] defeated Brunhild!!]

    [ Representative!! [Pink Spiral] Clara!!! She has become the strongest student in the academy’s fighting festival!!]

    -Waaa—!!

    -Waaa—!!

    -Waaa—!!

    -Waaa—!!

    The crowd’s cheers, as if the air were exploding, deafen my ears.

    “… Phew.”

    I sighed with relief and regret. He then carefully laid the unconscious Hilde down on the seat and said in a low voice, ‘It was a good fight.’

    “… It looked very cute☆”

    “… ”

    Of course, Pretty Filter distorted my words until the end.

    I carefully stroked Hilde’s hair as she fell unconscious.

    My enemy.

    My adversary.

    Finally broke it.

    “… ”

    “… ”

    But our victory ended here.

    ‘From now on, it’s not just about the two of us.’

    A story that will come two years from now… In the main story of the game, Clara from is supposed to be the last idiot senior at the school that is going out of business. Only then will the story flow into how we can perfectly protect this Academy City we love.

    I spoke to Hilde, who had fainted, with such regret and relief.

    “Finally, it was a really good match☆ Thank you, Hilde. I’m glad I met you too.”

    “… ”

    ‘I hope you continue to walk down that strongest path… ‘My eternal enemy.’

    Leaving behind the cheers of the audience.

    I slowly calmed down the fighting spirit in my heart and left the stadium.

    “… Don’t go.”

    The state of invincibility has become a secret kept only by the two strong men.

    When the legendary battle and the nickname “Pink Spiral” became vague memories remembered only by third-year students in Academy City.

    The story began.
