"Where I am?"

"Sorry rat, but this time, you're dead."

Just like what we plan, we have to separate the Vice Commander of A-1 from A-2 for us to eliminate them easily. Thanks to Alicia's ability, we were able to do that.

*Sorry little girl, since one of us already died, I have to take this mission seriously.*

Holding tight the knife in my hand. I swing it towards the neck of this clueless girl.

With this, we can finish our work just in seconds.

"Hm?"

Before I manage to hit Ernesta, a sound of lightning came towards us.

I glanced behind me.

*What?!*

It's the Vice Commander of A-2, Relaine.

"When did you?!"

"Yow."

From the air, Relaine dashes towards and takes away Ernesta from us.

"How rude you doing something without my consent, Ernesta.", she said.

"Eh? What just happen?"

"You're about to die and you still act like that?"

"Hehe, just kidding."

*How? How can she able to find us immediately? Not just that, this place is fifteen kilometers away from the location where two of them came from.*

"Tsk!"

*As expected from the person who killed Blade.*

"Allie, don't use your ability, we need it later."

"Yes."

Allie is the nickname I made for Alicia.

"Now, you two. You dare to interrupt us."

"My, my? You're mad? Sorry, but we have a business to that rat, little bunny."

"Why do all Outsiders have some death wish."

Relaine let go of Ernesta.

*Here she comes.*

"Allie, let me handle this one. Take the happy-go-lucky one."

"Roger!"

"So, you want to die first huh."

"As if."

She created a sword shape of lightning before she run towards me.

When she gets close, she raises her arm that holding the sword.

I used my knife to block her attack.

But when our weapon connects, her sword explode.

"Ah!"

I jump away from her.

"You won't defeat me.", she said while walking towards me.

"Dang, that hurt. It looks like I'm going to have a hard time here."

I grab my other weapon. It's a little longer than the other one but since it's invisible she won't know it.

I dash towards her and start swinging my knives.

She just dodges all of my attacks. After that, she snaps her finger and a ball of lightning appears on it.

The ball of lightning moves towards me and explodes.

I block my face with my arms.

*Not this again!*

When I look at her, she made a serious look face.

That's one of the faces of a person that I know I won't able to beat.

*I have to relax. Wait! How Allie?*

I was expecting that she's having a hard time just like me, but when I look at her.

"Huh?"

"Woah! You're fast."

"Hehe!", Allie giggles.

Ernesta can't even make a move because of Allie's attack.

Allie is using two kukris which suited her smooth moves.

"Oi!"

"Huh?"

I watch focus on watching the fight of the two that I forgot about mine.

Relaine is already in front of me holding a sword shape of lightning that is about to thrust at me.

*I can't dodge it!*

I try to block it using my knives but it won't make it in time.

I try to dodge it but my body freeze in surprise.

But before the sword hit me, someone jump in front of me and block the sword shape of lightning.

"Allie?"

"That was close."

"What?"

Relaine jump away from us.

"It looks like you got a talented new comrade."

"Yeah, I'm very thankful right now."

"But, what's with that look of your comrade's face?"

"Huh?"

"She looks like she doesn't want to kill us at all."

________________________________________________________________________________________

"What are you talking about?", she asked.

"Forget about that."

I look again to her new comrade.

I was watching her since the beginning. Even though she's fighting Ernesta, she's glancing at her comrade so many times. That means, she's checking whether that Outsider beside her is okay or not. From my observation, even though she's good at fighting, she's prioritizing protecting that girl. She's doesn't have a will to kill us at all.

*What a weird lady.*

"Ernesta, let's exchange."

"Eh? You want to exchange numbers in the middle of the fight?"

"Not that! Opponent! Let's, exchange opponents!"

*Wait, Ernesta has a phone?*

"Ohhh... okay!"

*This brat.*

"Just give me a weapon."

"Okay! Instant creation!"

Ernesta gives me a chain that has pointed metal at the end and a hook to the other one.

*What an interesting weapon.*

"Go and fight her as far as you could from us."

"Eh? Why?"

"Just do it."

"Okay!"

*Still cheerful as ever. Now, let's see what this Outsider in front of me can do.*

After Ernesta run, I throw the hook towards the Outsider named Allie. She immediately dodge it by moving her body to the left.

I pull the chain again and it will directly hit her.

The Outsider immediately lowers her body while at a fighting stance to dodge the chain again.

*She fast.*

From her looks, she looks like an assassin just like the Outsider named Blade. Thankfully we're in an open area. The nearest trees or anything where she can hide is far.

*I just have to wait.*

After a few seconds, the Outsider took a glance at her comrade.

*This is my chance.*

I dash immediately towards her and try to thrust my weapon at her.

I thought I got her but she immediately reacted and block my attack.

*Such reflexes.*

I jump away from her and throw the pointed end of the chain at her.

She dodge it but it doesn't matter since I was targeting the ground.

The end of the chain pierce to the ground.

I pull the chain causing me to go closer to the Outsider faster.

I created a sword shape of lightning and push it towards her.

The Outsider jumps back and dodges my attack.

The Outsider took a glance again at her comrade.

*She's really taking care of comrade huh.*

"It's time to get serious."

I created a spear shape of lightning and throw it at her.

She dodge it again but this time, it exploded at her.

I spin my body along with the chain and throws it toward her.

The chain wrapped around the Outsider's body.

I dash towards her, I try to punch her but she attempts to kick me.

I lower my stance to dodge her and hold the chain.

I cast lightning to the chain but she had already escaped.

*This woman, it seems like she's been doing this for decades. She's so experienced. She's keeping her distance because she knows she won't win on the head-on combat.*

After she escape, she took a glance again.

*Should I attack the other one instead? No, she might attack Ernesta.*

"Hm?"

After glancing at her comrade, she looks at me and goes on fighting stance.

*It can't be.*

She teleported in front of me, no, I think she dashes towards me but she's so fast.

Her weapon is about to slash my neck, thankfully I managed to block it with the chain.

After that, she uses her other kukri and swings it towards my head.

I lean back to dodge it.

She spun immediately and kick my stomach causing me to fly away for a meter.

Before I even manage to land my feet on the ground, she manages to get close to me.

She swings her kukris left and right.

I hold the two ends of the chain and use them to block her attacks.

After that, she switches the position of her arms and places it from below. She swings the two kukris upward.

By blocking those, it causes me to fly away higher than before.

While in the air, she ran towards the place where I will land, readying herself to attack me.

I wrapped up the chain on my left arm.

When I get close, she swings the kukri on her right hand towards me. I block it using my left arm.

After that, she swings the other kukri towards my neck.

I lean away as far as I could.

She manages to scratch my neck.

I spin around and kick her head.

Having a distance between us, I have the advantage now.

I place my hands on the ground and shouted

"Electrocute!"

Bolts of lightning strike towards the Outsider.

She manages to dodge it all without any problem.

*Just how fast she is. I still have to keep my distance.*

I spin the chain with the pointed end and throws it towards her.

She dodges it and holds the chain.

She tries to pull it away from me.

"Electro!"

The lightning from my hand crawls in the chain.

The Outsider let go of the chain.

"Tsk! Electro!"

Before I finish my word, the Outsider throws one of her kukris towards me.

"What?!"

Her throw is so fast that my reaction is almost late.

I spin around to dodge the kukri.

She manage to cut a few strands of my hair and scratch my forehead on the left side.

*That was close.*

"Why did even throw her weapon?"

*Wait!*

When I look at where she is, she disappears.

*Tsk!*

I look at my back, my guess is right.

She's behind me ready to swing the other kukri she has.

She uses the kukri that she throws as a distraction.

Even though there's a long-distance between us, that won't be a problem for her since she's fast.

*I can't dodge or block it.*

I look at her eyes, it's different from before. She determined to kill me now.

*I see...*

She learns something, killing me means protecting her comrade.

"Lightning Stance."

"Huh?"

The Outsider who's about to kill me flies away.

"W-What was that?"

"Ten percent."

*I'm not planning to use this since Ernesta is here, but things are different now.*

"Now, come."

The Outsider dashes towards me and swings her kukri.

I slap her hand causing the kukri to fly away from her.

"What?!"

"Allie! Get away from her!"

The Outsider jump away.

"That hurt."

"You okay?"

"Yeah, but I think I can't touch her with that state."

"I see... let's get out of here."

"What? But how about our mission?"

"Our life is more important. If we die here, more missions won't be accomplished."

"I see..."

"Let's go."

The two Outsiders disappear from our sight.

"You know, here moves seem familiar.", Ernesta said.

After that fight, we went back to HQ. Where actually planning to go to A-2 since it's the nearest but I have to clear something but then...

"Ugh..."

I'm laying now on Ernesta's bed.

"My body is killing me."

"Hey, you okay?"

It's Ernesta who's entering the room.

"It's your fault!"

"Eh? How? Aren't those two Outsiders you should blame?"

"After I rest, I'm going to force you to finish all your work."

"Eh?!!!"

"Half of my energy wasted because of you! That's why my body is taking revenge now!"

Our date and that fight is overwork for me. But thinking back to the time of our date, I think it's worth it. But still.

"Ow, ow, ow..."

*I'm dying.*

"Yow, what's up."

"Oh, it's you."

It's Barbara.

"Hey, I have something to ask you."

"What is it?"

"Who teaches you to fight?"

"Well... It's Hiro's mother."

"Then do you know who teaches Hiro's mother?"

"It's Silver, he's a thief but he died from saving someone from Outsider."

"I see..."

"Why did ask?"

"Nothing. I'm just curious."

*So it's just a coincidence?*

It looks like Barbara's fighting style is for fighting and eliminating Outsiders, so it might be just a coincidence. Does also the pure-blooded count on that style?

I haven't seen Barbara fight so my investigation is not yet complete.

"Hey, Lisa said you should drin-, w-woah!"

Ernesta stumbles and the hot drink pour on my body.

"Hot! Hot!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"ERNESTA!!!"

"I'll get a towel! Yeah, a towel!"

"Electro!!!"

"Wait, I'm still here."

"I'll kill you just like what my body doing to me!"

"Forgive me!!!"
