Chapter 37 - Five societies united in battle - Prologue

[Dragon Fang Arena - Battle Begins] The Dragon Fang Arena of Higashigumo Academy was packed with people.

All the club members, spectators, and even the core members of each society had gathered on this sacred battlefield.

The flags of the Five Great Societies fluttered in the breeze, symbolising the war that would decide their fate - the Battle of the Five Societies had officially begun!

A voice echoed from the broadcast room:

"This United Battle will be divided into three war zones."

"First War Zone: Archery Club vs. Magic Club."

"Second War Zone: Mixed Battle of the Martial Arts and Swordsmanship Clubs."

"Third War Zone: Battlefield of the Javelin Club."

"Each war zone will hold independent battles, and the final winners will advance to the deciding match!"

Shiranui Hakuran of the Magic Club walked towards the first war zone.

Across from him, Mikage Chigusa of the Archery Club had already drawn her bow, her gaze cold and sharp.

"Begin!"

Mikage's arrow shot out, slicing through the air like a raging wind, aiming directly at Hakuran's forehead!

But Hakuran smiled and waved his wand lightly.

-The arrow 'disappeared' in mid-air as if it had never existed!

The crowd gasped:

"-What?! Where did it go?!"

Mikage narrowed her eyes and quickly changed her arrow type, unleashing dozens of tracking arrows!

Hakuran chuckled and tapped his fingers lightly - "Vision Reshape".

The air distorted, mirrors appearing in mid-air, bending and redirecting the arrows, even sending some flying back!

Mikage dodged quickly, her instincts screaming in alarm:

"This guy's optical illusion magic is insane!"

[Elsewhere on the Battlefield] Standing opposite Yomiya Sou, Oudou Saya of the Archery Club stared at him, bowstring taut.

Their eyes locked, the air between them frozen.

Oudou slowly drew her silver arrow - "Anti-Magic Zone - Hunting Lockdown".

The arrow glowed silver and locked on to its prey.

Yomiya's fingers brushed over his cards, his gaze calm.

This time... you won't escape."

Oudou released the arrow.

"Then try to stop me."

-The battle had begun!

[Third War Zone] Black thunder rumbled in the distance. A towering figure slowly stepped forward.

Kirimaru Setsura of the Spear Club had entered the battlefield.

"Magic Club... are you ready?"

The United Battle of the Five Societies had erupted in full force!

[First War Zone - Magic Club vs. Archery Club] The wind howled as the bowstrings tensed.

Oudou Saya's piercing gaze locked onto Yomiya Sou.

She released her silver arrow, slicing through the air like a hawk!

Yomiya stood still, fingers twirling his playing cards, an aura of illusion swirling around him.

This was more than a battle of magic versus archery - it was a game of hunter and prey!

Mikage Chigusa unleashed three consecutive shots, each arrow glowing a spectral blue, sealing off every possible escape route for Hakuran.

But Hakuran just smiled, his wand moving slightly - Mikage's vision suddenly blurred, her surroundings distorted and twisted.

-Blind spots. Misdirection. Spatial folding. His illusions overlapped endlessly!

"...He disappeared?"

Mikage's breath caught.

She knew that Hakuran hadn't really disappeared - he had manipulated her perception, making it impossible to pinpoint his location!

"But... do you really think that's enough to stop me?"

Mikage sneered, stomping on the ground.

-"Hawk-Eye Precision - Predator Mode!"

Her pupils shrank, reflecting a faint silhouette - Hakuran's position was revealed!

"Found you-!"

She released her arrow, a streak of light straight into Hakuran's heart!

But - Hakuran's figure shattered like a mirage.

"An illusion?!"

Panic flashed in Mikage's eyes as she turned to find her true target - too late!

Behind her, Hakuran stood unperturbed, tapping her shoulder with his wand.

"A prey's fate is decided long before the hunt begins."

-"Phantom Realm - Checkmate".

Mikage's body trembled as her consciousness fell into an abyss of illusionary darkness.

[Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Yomiya Sou flipped his card while Oudou Saya's silver bow remained drawn.

Their confrontation was at a stalemate.

"...Yomiya."

Oudou's voice was barely above a whisper, tinged with an unreadable emotion.

Yomiya remained silent and drew another card.

-The card disappeared.

Oudou frowned, immediately retreating as she activated her archery skill!

-"Star Arrow Barrage!"

Six silver arrows shot out, precisely following Yomiya's every move.

"Too slow."

Yomiya's figure blurred, dodging between the arrows like a phantom.

But Oudou had anticipated that. She smiled slightly and snapped her fingers.

"You always run, Yomiya."

-"Hunting Net Seal - Shadow Bind!"

The arrows suddenly changed course, forming a shimmering net that sealed off any possible escape route!

"This time, you won't be able to escape."

Yomiya's gaze darkened as he flicked his wrist, dropping several cards to the ground. A soft glow emanated, expanding into a rippling field of light.

"Is this it?"

-"Phantom Maze."

The battlefield plunged into a realm of distortions and illusions!

[A resounding boom echoed as black lightning erupted!

A heavy steel boot crushed the ground beneath it as a massive figure appeared.

In his hand, he wielded a colossal, thunder-emitting, mechanised spear - "Gokuretsu".

"Magic Club... it's time for hell to begin."

-The united battle of the Five Societies had been fully ignited!

五社联合战——序幕

——[龙牙场 · 战斗开始]

东云学园的龙牙场,此刻人山人海.

所有社团成员,观战学生,甚至各大社团的核心强者,都齐聚在这片战斗圣地.

五大社团的旗帜在风中猎猎作响,象征着这场决定社团命运的战争——五社联合战,正式打响!

广播室传来裁判员的声音:

"——本次联合战分为三大战区."

"第一战区:弓箭部 vs 魔术部."

"第二战区:格斗部,剑术部混合战线."

"第三战区:标枪部战区."

"各战区战斗独立进行,最终胜利方将晋级决胜战!"

魔术部的白蓝,缓步走向第一战区.

在他对面,弓箭部的御影千草已经搭箭在弦,目光冷漠.

"——战斗,开始!"

御影千草的箭矢破空而出,带着猛烈的疾风气势,直指白蓝的额间!

白蓝嘴角微扬,魔术棒轻挥.

箭矢瞬间"消失"在半空中,仿佛从未射出!

观众席惊呼:"——什么?!"

御影千草目光一沉,立刻切换箭矢类型,射出数十支追踪箭!

白蓝冷笑一声,手指轻点——

——"视界重塑."

空气仿佛扭曲,一道道镜面浮现,箭矢纷纷被折射,转移,甚至反向飞回!

御影千草迅速翻身躲避,心中警铃大作:

"...这个男人的障眼法,强得离谱!"

另一侧的战场,夜见苍站在凰堂纱夜的对面.

两人目光交错,空气仿佛冻结.

凰堂纱夜缓缓拉弓,银色箭矢凝聚:"这次...我不会让你逃."

夜见苍的指尖掠过卡牌,平静道:"那就试试吧."

——战斗,开始!

远处的战场上,黑雷翻滚,一道高大身影缓步走来.

标枪部的鬼丸刹罗,踏入战场!

"魔术部的各位...你们准备好了吗?"

——五社联合战,全面爆发!

——[第一战区 · 魔术部 vs 弓箭部]

狂风呼啸,弓弦绷紧的声音在战场中回荡.

凰堂纱夜目光锐利,银色箭矢划破空气,直指夜见苍.

夜见苍站在原地,手中纸牌微微旋转,幻术的气息弥漫四周.

这一战,不只是魔术与弓术的较量,更是猎人与猎物的角逐!

御影千草连发三箭,箭矢化作幽蓝流光,瞬间锁定白蓝的所有逃跑路径.

但白蓝嘴角微扬,轻轻一挥魔术棒——

御影千草的眼前忽然一黑,整个世界变得模糊扭曲.

——错视,盲点,空间折叠...障眼法层层交错!

"...消失了?"御影千草猛地一惊,手指微动,调整呼吸.

她知道,白蓝并没有消失,而是利用障眼法制造了一种视界干扰,让她无法准确判断目标的位置!

"但...你以为这样就能困住我吗?"

御影千草冷笑,猛然一跺脚.

——"鹰眼射击·猎杀模式!"

她的双瞳微微收缩,瞳孔中倒映出白蓝的微光轮廓!

"找到了——!"

她猛然松弦,箭矢化作流星,直取白蓝心口!

但就在这时——

白蓝的身影破碎,如同镜花水月一般消散!

"假的?!"

御影千草心中大惊,转身寻找目标——

但为时已晚!

身后,白蓝淡然站立,魔术棒轻轻点在她的肩膀上.

"猎物的命运,早已决定了."

——"幻境·终局."

御影千草的身体一震,意识陷入一片虚无的黑暗!

——[另一侧战场]

夜见苍手指掠过卡牌,凰堂纱夜银弓已然拉满.

两人对峙,气息凝滞.

"...夜见苍."凰堂纱夜轻声道,声音里透着一丝异样的情绪.

夜见苍没有回应,只是缓缓抽出一张卡牌,指尖一弹——

——卡牌消失!

凰堂纱夜眉头微皱,迅速后退,同时发动弓术技能!

——"星矢连射!"

六道银色箭矢破空而出,每一支箭矢的轨迹都精准锁定夜见苍的行动轨道.

"...太慢了."

夜见苍的身影在箭矢命中前瞬间偏移,如同鬼影般穿梭在战场之中.

但凰堂纱夜早有准备,她冷然一笑,指尖微动.

"夜见苍,你总是在逃."

——"猎网封锁·缚影之弦!"

瞬间,银色箭矢在半空交错,形成一道密不透风的封锁网!

"——这一箭,不会让你躲过去."

夜见苍目光微沉,指尖翻转间,数张卡牌悄然落地,形成一片淡淡的幻光结界.

"...是吗?"

他微微抬头,眼神中闪烁着一丝不易察觉的情绪.

——"幻界迷宫."

战场,彻底陷入了错乱与幻境之中!

就在第一战区战斗如火如荼之际,第三战区的战场上,一道惊雷炸裂!

厚重的钢铁战靴踏碎地面,一道身影缓缓走出.

他的手中,拖曳着一柄漆黑雷光环绕的巨型机关枪棍——「獄裂」!

"魔术部的各位,准备迎接地狱了吗?"

——标枪部的鬼丸刹罗,终于降临战场!
