I could now see them approaching us very clearly now that they are closer, it looks like they split up into two groups, a group of a eight and five.

the group of five is staying in the back while the group of eight is approaching us from the road.

"why did ya stop?"

the other were coming out of the back one by one because I stopped the horses.

"we have guests, you guys welcome the ones in the front, I will deal with the ones in the back"

I already started running after the gorup by the time I was done telling them what to do, not before i left a little reminder.

"as long as you guys remember what i taught, you should be fine"

"how do you think he's gonna get to the ones at the back?" questioned ren

"how do you think?" answered ray while letting out a sigh.

right it was a dumb question, I mean how is ryu gonna get to the ones in the back, by flanking or sneaking around... of course not.

the ground of eight people saw a black figure run right at them under the two moons.

"get ready, they already noticed us and don't let your guard down just because their kids" a middle age voice coming from under a standard worn out iron armor wielding a sword warned the others.

"leader please do you really think we would underestimate this group of "freaks", even though their kids they already killed many theives and bandits, they even wiped out the cracked skulls group which was bronze level mercenary group, they even wear the emblem on their coat, they are litteraly a small group of savages." a man who was wielding two swords and leather armor with bits of iron armor here and there replied.

"grrrr whateverr, they arre just a grroup of kids and grrrr frrom what I hearrd theirr leaderr is just a grrr human brrat! grr" a tall figure of three meters with green skin which had few scars while carrying a giant two meter war axe on his back grunted at the group.

"haha no need to get angry now, we will find out real soon if the rumors are tru- what the!" another man in iron armor who was wielding a gaint great sword replied not before he was startled by what he saw.

as they were looking right at the carriage, all they saw was a person running right at them under the two beautiful moons while the thrid was slowly revealing itself, they didn't know the speed of the figure running at them until he was already close and he suddenly jumped diagonally towards a nearby tree and using the tree as a foothold he jumped again using one foot, after that he did a roll in the air then preformed a drop kick right the man with great sword.

the man with the great sword was flustered but as the group was already getting ready, his sword was already in his hands and his somewhat trained muscle moved the sword into a defence position using the broadside of the great sword while he thought to himself 'rushing right into a group of enemies by yourself without equipment... fool!'.

the rest also thought the same, after all ryu didn't have any peice of armor infact he didn't even have a weapon, he was wearing a simple looking oversized black jacket under his coat and their tense atmosphere eased a bit.... ofcourse it didn't last for long.

ryu's kick landed on the gaint great sword and only one thought was in the armored man's mind 'so h-heavy?!'.

crrrannnggg—

he heard the sound of the sword being bend, he gritted his teeth and applied more strength to his sword while supplying mana to his sword, unfortunately the sword had already bent and he saw a small leg coming right for his head as he thought 'i-impossible how could a littl–'.

BOoom— Swosh— Swish—

the man was crushed as ryu hit the ground which caused a terrible sound of a gaint stone hitting the ground, this resulted in the gathered snow on the ground to twirl and spread around his landing spot, the cloud of snow was tainted red from his body being crushed, ofcoure only his head was fully crushed.

while two men who wore leather armor and held swords were dazed by what happened, the small cloud moved weirdly then suddenly a small black figure ran inbetween the two dazed men while a trail of the red cloud followed the small figure and swallowed the two men.

ryu didn't really care about killing them, they weren't his goal so he ran right by them, he had already passed by most of the group and only a figure covered by a hood stood infornt of him, he simply ran past them ignoring them.

the speed of the wind lifted the hood which revealed a young girl about sixteen to eighteen years old with blond hair and green eyes, when ryu passed her, she immediately turned and run after him while charging her rapier with mana to stab.

a lean green figure of about two and half meter threw a spear right at ryu.

ryu ran without any change and right as the spear and the girl was about to stab her rapier at him, he didn't slow down at all as he simply jumped while swinging his right leg high as he kicked the spear a away, it was prefect as kick landed exactly at the shaft after the pointy tip of the spear got closer.

clack—

then he slightly adjusted his right leg before a prefect straight axe drop kick right at the rapier as the girl stabbed the rapier, the rapier was deflected downwards and stabbed the ground along with the wind magic and sent the snow flying.

seennngg— SWOSH—

"arrrgg" she grunted as she felt immense pain in her wrist, then she felt a feeling she never felt before, her survival instinct was screaming at her to dodge as she saw weird moment in the snow cloud.

ryu's right leg reached the ground quickly thanks to his axe kick, he instantly bent down and placed both his arms on the ground as he did a twirl which transferred the force of his left over speed before his jump into his left leg and kicked high, because of his little body he had to kick high most of the time.

swosh—

the girl saw a leg strike come right at her face from the cloud of snow fortunately either due to her instinct screaming at her or because of ryu's short length of the leg, she let go of her rapier and used mana to back way, the twirl and kick cleared the snow cloud which was already moving away, she saw a pair of black eyes which had a normal size glowing yellow dot in the middle.

A shiver went down her shine while looking at the eye, thankfully ryu didn't bother and continued running, the girl dropped down as her knees gave away, while all she muttered was "t-tthats not s-somthing human t-that was a..a m-monster a-a complete b-beast", the others thought weren't that different, a single child run straight through a group of eight bandits... yes straight he didn't change his direction at all and he did it all sooo... easily and his moves were perfect and and the thing was..... it felt Strange because he wasn't even serious, he was completely nonchalant about it... the more the group thought about what happened the more absurd they thought it was while also becoming more and more fearful.
