>Home 31: It's not just one or the other.
>Blurb: Attacking with blood-chilling speed...
>Oraaah!
>Chief Mikadono struck first!
>She's so fast!
>Tatsumi-senpai's greatest weapon is the long reach of his kicks.
>I need to constantly stay on the attack and stick close to him!
>Look at that!
>She's pushing Tatsumi-senpai back!
>When it comes to speed, nobody can outmatch the chief, not even men!
>She might have a small build,
>but by combining her speed and accuracy with classical karate techniques,
>She truly earns the title of "The Thunderbolt of Saika"!
>W-well, nicknames aside...
>The fact is, Tatsumi-senpai can't keep up at all!
>Weird...
>For some reason,
>senpai isn't attacking at all...
>On the contrary, he's completely blocking all of my attacks...
>It's like...
>He's telling me that, no matter what I try,
>he can see through all of my techniques...
>You really do take everything seriously, don't you?
>Niko.
>Gah...
>Chief Mikadono!
>That was a midsection strike...
>Tatsumi-senpai gained a point!
>I've been watching you ever since we were children, after all.
>To be sure, Niko's speed is absolutely overwhelming.
>And her style is so proper and orthodox that it's captivating to behold.
>And for that reason,
>I know her attack patterns like the back of my hand.
>Tch...
>I'm not done yet!
>Go, chief!
>You simply can't shake away those proper forms...
>That is your weakness, Niko!
>Chief!
>Niko really does take everything seriously, doesn't she.
>Upper body strike!
>One point!
>If he gets even one more point, club leader Mikadono is going to lose...
>It's like she's can't even touch him...
>I knew Tatsumi-senpai was strong,
>but this is something else...
>My karate...
>Isn't good enough...
>Niko.
>Your karate was splendid. It fits you perfectly.
>And yet, it is weak.
>So please. Come with me to my school.
>I don't want to see you become any weaker than this.
>It's just like he says...
>This kind of pathetic showing
>Isn't like me at all...
>I have to go to senpai's school,
>so that I make myself "strong"...
>Niko-san!
>Let's do it!
>All together now!
>Fans from right to left: Victory, You're awesome, Go Niko, Hold your head high, Niko, Certain victory, Niko, Precious favorite
>Niko-san!
>Do your best, please!
>Headband: Certain victory, Fan: Hold your head high
>What the hell do you think you're making us do, Ayase!?
>Are you saying you'd rather see Niko-san lose?
>I don't see how this going to help her win!
>Damn that Yuu...
>(Niko-saaan)
>Did he have to come up with such an embarrassing way of cheering?
That second-to-last line should be
>so that I can make myself "strong"...
>(*Stomp stomp*)
>(*Boing*)
>(Haa... Haa...)
>(*Tremble tremble*)
>(Trying to stretch ->)
>(*Roll roll*)
>(How's that, Niko-san!?
>(I call it the breakdance strategy!)
>[Niko] T-that's just wrong!
>(...Pffft!)
>Really,
>he acted just as stupid during our training...
>(...Ah!)
>What am I doing, laughing during a match...
>(Me, of all people...)
>This isn't like me at all...
>Even if you're normally strong...
>your weak side is still unmistakably Niko-san.
>Right...
>When it comes to being "like me",
>I don't have to pick just one or the other.
>What's with this atmosphere?
>*Glance*
>From the right, then...
>You really are so easy to read...
>A kick to the upper body!
>Chief!
>A feint?
>From *Niko*!?
>Raah!
>And now a solid thrust to my midsection!
>A reliable attack...
>This should block it!
>She took advantage of him trying to block the thrust...
>And hit him with a backhander!?
>Gah...
>Niko!
Are spinning back fist even legal in karate?
>That was an amazing move!
>(She's doing great!)
>As expected from Niko-san!
>This is the last thing I'd expect from her!
>Using these kinds of tricky moves in a match...
>I've never seen her do something like this before!
>Her usual style of karate is so rigidly classical...
>She's practically obsessed with sticking to the form during matches.
I wouldn't know, I'm afraid.
>Niko-san...
>She's smiling!
>Club leader Mikadono,
>two points!
>Geh...
>I can't tell what she's going to do next...
>There's something different about her!
>What is going on, Niko!?
>This isn't like you at all!
>...Not like me, you say?
>I'm me, whichever way I choose!
>Blurb: A kick from a goddess, with no hesitation.
Thanks for reading! No chapter next week, since the magazine's on break.
I really like this manga but Jesus if a guy his size lost to such a tiny girl he could be the laughing stock of the world.
