[Ryuuji's Mansion, London]
Picking up the presence of an intruder entering his homes premises, Ryuuji then gave everyone on the phone a stern look as he quickly shutted off his phone despite everyone's rumbling
But the moment he did such a thing, Claire then immediately took notice of this as she looked up towards Ryuuji in confusion in her eyes
"Hey! Why did you turn off your phone? I was talking to everyone! Hey..."
As Claire voiced her own thoughts out, Ryuuji on the other hand put her downto the floor as he slowly stood up from his seat and expanded his senses in a full 360 degrees
Seeing Ryuuji's facial expression, Claire then immediately picked up the cue as she realized that Ryuuji might have felt something to make him cautious all of the sudden
Of course on that note, as Ryuuji had taken notice of the intruder inside his mansions premises, Greg and his butler himself would have taken notice of it too
While both Greg and his butler is located in a different area of his mansion, Ryuuji on the other hand is located right beside Claire's location, thus raising the chance that he might encounter the intruder himself
Soon after silence enveloped the whole place as Ryuuji carefully senses his surroundings, but at that instant through the window, the intruder barges in with a bang completely breaking the glass and aiming towards Claire
But just as the intruder was about to land before Claire, Ryuuji then came swooping in as he dealt a huge right hook towards the intruder's face
Naturally the intruder was wearing a black mask to hide his identity, but nevertheless the intruder himself quickly crouched down to avoid Ryuuji's fist and dashed past him with a slight launch heading towards his target
Unfortunately Ryuuji immediately took action and changed his body's positioning the moment he realized that his attack had missed
Twisting his body in a full 120 degrees he then reached out his left arm and took ahold of the intruders collar and tossing in right infront of him
But the intruder quickly flipped his body in midair to avoid crashing unto the floor and charges towards Ryuuji, knowingly that he needed to take care of its guardian before he could get to his target
Positioning himself with a strange martial arts style, the intruder quickly came in of Ryuuji's range and started spraying in multiple quick punches towards the latter's throat, seemingly aiming to immobilize its opponent
Likely for that to happen, Ryuuji quickly shifted his body positioning once more as he repeatedly and continuesly dodge the intruders quick punches
Alongside that he quickly raises up his arm to guard himself from a roundhouse kick, and placed his arm below his chin to guard himself from the sudden surprise kick to his chin
As he continues to dodge and blocks his opponents attack, he also seemingly realize that his opponent is quite adept on such a close quarter assault, if it were any ordinary opponent that person could have easily dealt with it with ease, unfortunately Ryuuji wasn't that a simple opponent
Using the momentum of the opponent's punches, Ryuuji quickly parried the intruders strike to the side causing it to lose his balance, before he quickly dribbled it with his own series of punches
With a straight kick to the stomach the intruder was then left stumbling a few steps back as he knelt unto the floor seemingly holding unto his stomach in pain
But instead of giving up, the intruder gritted his teeth in annoyance as he quickly shotted off of his feet and held out his hand unto the air and summoned a uniquely shapen one handed huge sword on it's hand, seemingly its last resort on dealing with such matter
Seeing the weapon manifesting itself in the air, ryuuji then realizes that his opponent might have been a user assigned to such mission
Without further ado the intruder wielded his one handed huge sword and leapt through the air as he smashed it down towards Ryuuji's direction
In that instant Ryuuji quickly rolled over to the side as he slid agaisnt the ground and charged towards the blindspot of the intruder
However the intruder quickly took off his attention towards Ryuuji and glanced towards his target who had moved to the corner of the room, seemingly he puts more importance on capturing Claire than fighting a user just like him
But before the intruder could move a step forward, Ryuuji quickly then called out to him to catch his attention
"Are you sure its appropriate to simply look away from your opponent, if that is the case, then i can say is that your nothing but an amateur in battle"
When Ryuuji said that he then immediately summoned out Ifrit from the circle of flames he had manifested in thin air and swung it down towards the intruder
"Tch!"
Luckily the intruder managed to move sideways to dodge Ryuuji's strike just in time, unfortunately the latter didn't flater at all as he quickly spun around in midair using Ifrit as its support and slammed his sword towards the intruders one handed huge sword
In that instant the intruder was blown away after blocking Ryuuji's attack, as he crashed unto the wall of the room
But before the intruder could stabilize himself, Ryuuji quickly approached towards him and begun swinging Ifrit towards the former
In response to that the intruder naturally retaliated as he swung up his one handed huge sword just enough to parry Ryuuji's strike
Following that the intruder swung down his one handed huge sword multiple times towards Ryuuji, only to realize that the latter had actually countered back his every strike with his own
With such overwhelming strength, Ryuuji blasted away the intruder once more as it crashed towards the room door and out towards the hallway
This time however before the intruder could get up and attack Ryuuji, its whole body was immediately tied up in strings as Greg had completely captured him effortlessly
With no way to escape, the intruder simply tried to struggle before Greg himself knock him out with a single strike
In that note the mission to capture Claire that very night had ended in a mission fail
