Chapter 83: Snow Mountain
Yuka stood at the foot of the snowy mountain, surrounded by a vast expanse of white.
Her pink mecha was strikingly conspicuous against the snowy backdrop.
As the fifteen-second pre-race countdown ended, Yuka remained still, cautiously observing the positions of her opponents.
Her adversary was piloting a white mecha, which Yuka hadn’t spotted yet. The howling winds of the snowy mountain did not affect Yuka’s sharp senses. She attentively distinguished the crunching footsteps mixed in the wind, then swiftly turned around and struck with her blade towards her right rear.
The pilot of the white mecha, caught off guard by her quick reaction, stepped back hastily. However, due to the deep snow and a sudden, uncontrolled stumble, he nearly fell over.
Seizing the opportunity, Yuka advanced, swinging her blade and leaving a deep mark on the opponent’s cockpit.
The white mecha’s pilot, realizing he was facing "Lady", ranked third on the ranking board, knew he was outmatched. He had the feeling that Yuka might be able to kick him out of the game with just one slash. Thus, he decided to launch an all-out attack, firing a cannon shot at Yuka.
"An attack with firepower!" exclaimed Roukujou in the commentary booth, slapping his thigh. "This guy wants to go down together with Pinky!"
[Why would they do that?]
[It’s a strategy, after all.]
On the field, Yuka swiftly ducked, her mecha almost parallel to the ground, narrowly avoiding the incoming fire.
