"Fi... I'm sorry, I lost in the first round."

Arriving at Central Square, the first thing I saw was Princess Anne, who was being attended to by her servant, healing.

Seeing me rush over, she forced a smile and quietly apologized.

"To receive an apology from the princess, I am truly honored." I said with a smile, then I glanced at Bai Yueguang and finally looked to the other side of the arena.

Inside a three-meter-tall exoskeleton humanoid, a knight in armor was walking down. Looking at his expression... he seemed quite content.

To win with such equipment, and still be so nonchalant about it... impressive.

The exoskeleton humanoid seems to be an enlarged version of the humanoid, with the enlarged parts directly becoming the parts that can accommodate humans, making humans the core of the humanoid. What a great idea.

The humanoid greatly supplements the defense and judgment capabilities of humans, of course, the judgment comes from the unknown components inside the humanoid. But many parts are still more convenient to operate by humans, that's why the exoskeleton was developed.

But now that this kind of thing has materialized, could it be that the Gundam is also preparing for mass production?

"Interesting, this knight group called Blue Sea Knights actually uses mechanical armor and such. Dale, did you hear that? Can you find information about the other side?"

Contacting Dale through the communication device, but... there was no response.

This guy, did he go out to buy dinner?

'Dale, can you hear me?'

I asked again, but heard a different response.

Ding~

[Nittea Party] Dale challenges [Blue Sea Knight] Harris

Harris accepts the challenge

Since there is no limit to the number of battles one person can have in a day, if the other side accepts, we can continue fighting.

But why would Dale suddenly want to challenge him? Wasn't this guy saying he prefers to stay in the office?

It was quite surprising to hear this broadcast.

But it doesn't matter, it's always good to practice more.

Just then, Dale, riding his two-wheeled vehicle, quickly rushed to the scene, to the center of the square.

"That guy over there, I won't discuss with you about how you used such despicable methods to defeat my teammate. But since you directly accepted my challenge, I promise that I will absolutely make you... easily lose."

Dale got off his vehicle, then looked at the opponent and pushed up his glasses.

"...Good! You're done, you bastard!"

Harris directly jumped into the exoskeleton and picked up the giant iron club next to him, charging directly!

Direct and straightforward, I like it.

But too bad, you are the enemy.

"Do you know, as a warrior, you shouldn't believe in strange things like external data armor. You are all people who fight relying on your own strength. Once you believe in other powers, you lose. Technique: Control Invasion."

As he spoke, Dale raised his right hand and made a forbidding gesture towards Harris.

What happened next was unbelievable.

Harris's movements suddenly stopped, and the iron club in his hand stopped in mid-air. It was as if time had stopped, completely stopped.

What did this guy do to the armor in such a short time, it's really terrifying.

"Although I can make your armor kill you directly, but you wouldn't be satisfied with that, right?"

After saying that, Dale pointed his right hand to the right, and a device that looked like a launcher appeared next to him.

"Technique: Electromagnetic Cannon: Stored Energy Strike."

The muzzle flashed, and then a bolt of lightning the size of a bowl directly pierced through the opponent's armor.

Purple lightning instantly pierced through the opponent's body, and a series of electrical sparks erupted from the periphery of the exoskeleton. After shaking a few times in place, the entire exoskeleton fell to the ground with a loud bang.

That was quick and clean... truly, the work of a hacker, quick and neat.

"But you haven't lost yet, have you? But now, in the position you fell in, you can't directly walk out of the exoskeleton, so... let me send you on your way. Do you know, putting an oxygen device into such heavy armor is like putting a medium-sized bomb into your clothes, inside, you know~"

After finishing his speech, the guy pushed his glasses and took out his wand.

It seems that this guy is also excited to see someone with a wand.

"Great ultimate · Electric Spark!"

Electric sparks, like raindrops, fell from the sky. When they hit the armor, they made continuous crackling explosions. A series of electric currents kept flowing inside the exoskeleton, and finally...

Boom!!!!

The exoskeleton exploded directly, and countless fragments scattered. However, Dale, who had already activated his shield, didn't even move.

[Dale's victory at the Nerd Tea Party]

Earned 1 point

Accumulated 2 points

Dale didn't move a single step from beginning to end. He really stole the show.

Indeed, the abilities of a tech geek should not be underestimated.

Dale surveyed the ruins on the enchantment and then walked to the side, picking up something from the ground.

Then he directly got on his own means of transportation and went back.

"Are you alright, Princess Annie?"

"Huh? Ah, I'm fine~ Although I couldn't provide enough attack power to the enemy, at least the water-based defense greatly buffered their attacks, so it's not a problem."

Dale nodded and walked ahead of me.

"Well, I'll go back to base now."

"Ah, it seems you're very skilled in your abilities. What did you pick up just now?"

"Oh, that... "

He looked at the small box in his hand.

"Something similar to a black box."

"I have seen the information about exoskeletons in Simu's data before, but I have never seen the physical object. There is no complete information in the database either. But I know that this thing contains a control system and a black box, so I came out to collect some."

"I see..."

This guy is really dedicated to his profession.

"Well, since I know technology and I'm not familiar with magic, it's definitely great to have someone willing to provide information."

"Okay then, let's go back together since we're done here, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you leaving already?"

Just then, a girl carrying a heavy hammer jumped over and landed in front of us.

"Marsha-chan~ in the morning, you all said you wouldn't gather to attack us, but in the afternoon, you changed your mind."

"This... that... "

Hearing what I said, Marsha, who was originally fierce, immediately became like a scared little kitten, her eyes shimmering.

"Because we received requests from our backers behind us, right?"

"Ah... you already know, huh. Geez, if you knew, why did you ask?"

"Just to confirm if it's true."

"So annoying... well~ we also made a mistake, but you have to understand that this is..."

"This is competition, I know. Well, that's it then. Goodbye~"

"Huh? Um, um, why am I worrying again? You jerk!"

Seeing her in distress, I couldn't help but understand why she became the leader.

She's really cute, this girl...
