The Six Arm Monster's Sign of Risk

"You're still thinking about helping the Superhero stuff again, right? Yuna politely asked.

"Since I saw you drawing about the..fight between the heroes and Thunder Fang," Yuna added as she tilted her head at the drawing with an astounding look.

Hatoshi sheepishly giggled and shook his head as he pinned onto the drawing that correlated with the ongoing criminal trouble. The schoolboy kindly stroked the soft arm of Yuna, absorbing more warmth due to him closing his eyes.

"Well..yeah and sorry for letting that thought overwhelm me," Hatoshi muttered with a pitying tone. "Especially in my grandparent's house. I tried to keep it under control, but it's…quite difficult."

"I'm okay with it, Hatoshi," Yuna advised. "Don't fully think of it as a burden. Instead, you should accept it as a good thing. Or maybe an encouragement to be better when you go back to the Superhero again."

Yuna freed the gentle hug she had been wrapped around on Hatoshi's stomach and replaced it with the stroking hand placed on his cheek as she moved closer. The schoolboy opened his eyes to see a merry smirk of Yuna's directly opened.

An astonishing gaze glimmered through Hatoshi's face after capturing Yuna's cheerful statement that still lingered within his mind. Her fresh smirk embraced the schoolboy for giving a blithe smile onto her.

"Well...I quite agree with your advice, Yuna." Hatoshi admitted reluctantly, "I sometimes turned those overwhelming thoughts into a negative one."

The school girl bumped her head below Hatoshi's chin and softly pinched his cheeks. The schoolboy let out a burst of tingling laughter as he witnessed Yuna from jolly close lips smile after she observed his newest artwork.

"As always, your artwork is great, but I have an idea for you to…rest those thoughts," Yuna exclaimed with a cheery voice.

"Let me guess." Hatoshi replied, "Taking a walk in the forest area, right?"

Yuna gleefully giggled and allowed her to strengthen the pinch of Hatoshi's cheek till he let out a temporal growl. The schoolboy shook his head as his close partner let go of the slushy pinch grip and the silky head bump at the same time

"Of course, it's obvious," Yuna said with a cheery tone. "I always love to walk in the forest because it's very refreshing."

"While for me drawing and seeing you already refresh my mind " Hatoshi blurted out.

The school girl chuckled, "Whatever you said.."

Afterward, Yuna swiftly raised her body into a steady standing position and lent an offering hand towards Hatoshi. She tilted her head and centered the captivated smile on her close partner Hatoshi's eyes to take notice.

"Come on Hatoshi, let's go." Yuna said in a persuasive tone, "I'm eager to see the beauty of this forest."

Hatoshi sighed, "Sure, and don't go far away from the village area"

"Grandma is very strict with that," Hatoshi remarked.

"Okay, okay, Hatoshi." Yuna happily replied and nodded

The schoolboy accepted the offering hand from his lovely partner and helped his knee to get up. Both of the high schoolers traded their consoling smiles towards each other as they were ready to wander the beauty of the Sakura Forest.

The battle between the heroes and the impervious Oni Man, Thunder Fang went into rough terms. Two thunderous lightning bolts descended from the sky and attempted to strike down the heroes after The Oni Guy levered down both surging hands.

Chemistry's dazzling grip clutched on Agano's wrist as the lightning bolt was near their distance. Hence, The Chemist smoothly dashed away from lightning bolts and carried The Onmyouji at the same time as holding a kite due to his body floating in the air.

Agano opened his grip to omit the feathery-yellowish lips that formed a paper card in less than a second and hauled by the two of his fingers. Chemistra quickly threw away his comrade to the right side, allowing The Onmyouji to flee the newest paper card with the black-ink kanji said, "Freeze."

Thunder Fang hurried, propelled the surging hands, and cast out blitzing electricity vines through his veins, binding the paper card from flying further. The incineration process of the chaining vines was initiated and burnt into dust.

The Oni Guy raised the cautious glare and captured a glimpse of five-needle fingers rallied with its glimmering presence twinkling through his eyes. He subdued his head to obtain a tranquil atmosphere and hoisted one of the middle rows' hands, in front of the bold pitch-black chest.

"Stay calm, I need good momentum for this." Thunder Fang whispered through his mind. "A momentum to defeat the Onmyouji and his annoying reflect counter."

"Taking down that Chemist first will be difficult if the support remains standing." Thunder Fang added.

Afterward, Thunder Fang raised his head as he heard a blitzing light sound rang through the sharp hearing from both the left and right side. The sound bringers were none other than the yellow needle fingers that transcended into a pear-yellow light with the shape resemblance a light arrow, cornered its target surroundings.

Therefore, The Oni Guy thrust the metal fist on the backside and quickly launched his entire bulky body far towards Chemistra's direction, evading the chance of the needle fingers touching him. The surging hands of Thunder Fang channeled out the pitch-black electricity, on the whole, granting him a soft electricity cloth with a cost being paid.

The purplish electricity lingered within the upper row hands, blinked out from existence as the cost. It now only presented the silk-clean glassy hands, while his entire body was enveloped by the thick, pitch-black electricity vines and he glanced at the eagle-like feet with a hush humming.

"Okay, let's hope these eagle-like feet can also be used for casting." Thunder Fang mumbled and raised his head to see Chemistra pressing the blue button from afar.

The yellow color within the metal body faded away, replacing its enlightened existence with the sea-blue light that also heated Chemistra heedful eyes. She pressed the kneecaps and aimed the two of the chemical fingers towards the fleeing Thunder Fang.

The Chemist witnessed her bulky opponent flip his body that let one of the eagle feet take the hovering leads. Pitch-black electricity burst out from eagle feet gripped, convinced Chemistra to glare at Agano, and gave him a commanding furrow.

The Onmyouji firmly nodded with his comrade sign and he hoisted the paper card inside his clenching grip. Feathery yellow emerged within the grasp of Agano's palm and morphed into another paper card that had black-ink Kanji written that spoke, "Reflect."

Agano latched on the paper card his back like a tag paper before he glossed at the sky above with a hopping fist being clenched. The Onmyouji blew a reluctant sigh and switched his cautious attention once again at Thunder Fang.

Thunder Fang who blasted away a circular bolt of black electricity flew in Chemistra's direction. The Chemist upraised shocking sea-blue eyes for encountering the bolt of electricity stepped closer.

In a rush, Chemistra fluidly rolled the metal body on the left, avoiding the chance of touching the bolt that dissolved in the blink of an eye. She steered the sharp sight onto Thunder Fang who was near her distance and pointed the ball-shaped metal hand on the row below.

The Oni Guy loosened the tie with the metal hand that launched him like a rocket afar from Chemistra. The Chemist steadily stood up as she was about to meet a sudden ram from the fleeing metal ball.

The metal ball indeed bounced Chemistra away with its smooth ramming similar to a bull headbutt and hovered on the top, but she still kept her standing position. The blue barrier that enveloped the entire metal body successfully prevented The Chemist from either failing or being thrown away like a ragdoll.

Instead, it strengthened her metal feet to latch on the ground steadily and allowed Chemistra to sigh in relief. The Chemist tapped the yellow button that illuminated a pearl yellow light, erasing all the traces of the sea-blue light.

Chemistra glanced towards Thunder Fang who redirected his surging body with a single push onto Agano who kept standing motionlessly. Hence, she rushed to the scene and enveloped her whole body with the glimmering yellow light that swiftly enhanced the speedy steps.

Agano clenched his fist as the reluctant sight witnessed Thunder Fang hoisting the circular hand. The Oni Guy quickly blinked the surging body into a temporal lightning bolt and plunged the thundering fist onto The Onmyouji's stomach.

"I have to withstand this reflecting trick." Thunder Fang insisted within his mind, "If not

The wavering reaction between the two enemies arose with a shockwave wind blowing across the arena. Furthermore, the shockwave granted a vibration through the ground that staggered the Chemistra flashy dash to move further.

While Agano bounced off from the arena after closing the sudden yellowish barrier with Thunder Fang plunging fist and crashed on the wall, letting out a hurtful growl. The soft barrier enveloped him and The Onmyouji held his stomach with the trembling hand as the paper card incinerated into dust.

Whereas, Thunder Fang roared a struggling scream as he felt his stomach was pressed by an unseen wave. The pitch-black cloth enlightened it's striking presence like a lantern and froze the crumbling body of The Oni Guy that almost succumbed from launching far away.

Burning determination lightened Thunder Fang's mind as he pushed the hefty limbs to go forward and embarked more on the striking presence of the pitch-black cloth. His stiff feet became lighter the more The Oni Guy forced his limbs to endure the shocking pain located on the stomach

"This reflecting effect is meaningless!!" Thunder Fang soared with heating excitement.

Therefore, one thundering step Thunder Fang took made the shocking wave vanish in an instant as he once again regained a tidy standing position. The Oni Guy sighed in relief after he was freed from the reflected effect.

However, Thunder Fang couldn't have a brief time of relaxation due to his sight steered the sharp attention at Chemistra who hoisted the left needle fingers beside her chin. The needle fingers made a break-free attempt by gusting a brief rocket-like smoke.

The Oni Guy briskly heaved the metal hand that began to channel out surging electricity and the torn-off arm at the same time. The gallant hovering hand from afar magnetically fled onto its master direction.

"You cannot take me down that easily, Chemist girl." Thunder Fang murmured.

Thunder Fang thrust back the metal hand like withdrawing a gun that tossed him away from the scene and left the metal hand to levitate freely. Chemistra shoved the needle fingers at the same time for a follow-up, but the bright launch of the enlightened fingers failed as a lightning speed fleeing hand rammed The Chemist's spine.

The thundering ram crumbled down Chemistra on the ground and left a vibrating stagger on her entire limbs, latched on Thunder Fang missing a piece with its magnetic force. The needle fingers she was about to launch dropped down and she screeched in agony.

While Agano got up his shaking leg and breathed the tiring air contained by the mask that protected his face. A mask that showed one hundred degrees, cracking line from the top to button on the right side.

The Onmyouji omitted the feathery energy within his trembling fist and reverted onto the newest paper card. A black-ink Kanji paper card that said, "Intangible" was patched on his left kneecaps.

"Let's see if the intangible buff can counter this." Agano mumbled with a deep tone, "If not, I have to distract him with talking."

Agano shook his head and blew a reluctant sigh, "I'm aware I'll regret doing this, but that's the only option left."

"So, let's just hope my intangibility is not enough for a distraction," Agano added.

The Onmyouji rotated the legs with the paper card being stuck on the kneecaps to the back. Agano heedful eyes gazed at the pitch-black thundering presence of the demon man heaved a punching knuckle as the fleeing movement stepped on his near distance.

"Reflector not, I'm going to strike it no matter what." Thunder Fang exclaimed within his mind, "Even though there will be weird crowd control techniques, at least I have my unseeable emergency."

"The emergency that I already threw away before." Thunder Fang added.
