"Wait a sec, Ryuu," Nami said, tilting her head inquisitively. "How tough and durable are you? Can you handle a one-punch from Kyoko or Chizuru, or maybe even my magic?"
Ryuu grinned confidently, his eyes never wavering. "I can deflect most common attacks and take a hit or two before needing a healing touch. My defensive capabilities are solid, so I should be able to hold up fine."
It seemed fitting. Our party now consisted of Nami's destructive fire attacks, Kyoko's elegant yet powerful strikes, Ryuu's offensive blocking abilities, Miyamura's healing expertise, and my own proficiency with manipulating water. Together, we complemented each other well and appeared ready to face whatever lurked in the depths of Dungeon 39C.
Meanwhile, Kyoko and Miyamura struck up a conversation based on their shared newcomer status.
Kyoko smiled as she spoke. "So, Izumi, what did you think when you first discovered your powers?"
Miyamura's cheeks flushed slightly at the praise. "I was shocked, to say the least. I wasn't expecting to have healing abilities. It was both overwhelming and relieving, knowing I could help others now."
Kyoko nodded understandingly. "That's the usual reaction. It's unbelievable to think that we've become Protectors. Our lives have changed drastically, haven't they?"
Nami, having finished her inquiry, joined the conversation between Kyoko and Miyamura. "He seems pretty confident, Ryuu. Both Kyoko and Chizuru can pack a serious punch." Smirking, she turned to Kyoko. "Hey, why don't you give him a shot?"
Kyoko raised an eyebrow teasingly, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Are you challenging me, Ryuu-kun?"
Raising his arms, Ryuu appeared unperturbed. "Go ahead. Show me what you've got. I'm a tank class, remember?"
I couldn't help but chuckle at the display. 'Does he really think he can handle Kyoko's punch? He's going to get seriously injured if she goes all out.' Addressing Ryuu, I tried to keep my tone playful but there was a hint of concern. "Ryuu, are you really doing this? No turning back now."
Kyoko squared off against Ryuu, cracking her knuckles. "Ready?"
Ryuu nodded, bracing himself. "Ready."
Kyoko launched forward, her fist moving with blinding speed. She held back, using only about 30% of her power, but the impact was still tremendous. Ryuu, expecting to defend, couldn't react in time. 'He won't even budge from a single punch, huh?' I thought skeptically. But as Kyoko's fist connected with his stomach, it was clear that wasn't the case.
The punch broke through his armor, leaving a fist-shaped bruise on his stomach. Ryuu coughed up blood and collapsed, unconscious before he hit the ground.
Nami spoke up, a hint of amusement in her voice. "Ara, he passed out. I thought he said he could handle Kyoko or Chizuru's punch."
I shot Nami a look. "Nami, you devil. How can he handle Kyoko's punch when you knew that both of you and Kyoko have been training with me, the Empress of Death: Izanagi, herself, the strongest Protector?"
Miyamura's eyes widened in amazement. "Wait, you're Izanagi? Really? I'd love to get an autograph!"
Kyoko pouted, feeling a twinge of jealousy. "Hey, Izumi-kun you don't want mine? I'm next in line after her, you know. People call me the Goddess of War: Athena. I didn't make that nickname; it's cringe, but people like it, so that's my code name."
I look at Izumi he seems blushing and couldn't say anything 'Damn if only I flirted with Kyoko a little bit earlier ,she would be mine,what a drag... fine I'll let her go in the anime their relation ship is kinda cute so I'll let you win this time Izumi'
Nami chuckled, shaking her head. "You two and your code names. But he's right, Miyamura. We always wear masks when going into dungeons and gates. Right now, we're not wearing a mask so people won't know who we are."
II glanced down at the unconscious Ryuu, hoping he would recover quickly. "Alright, Izumi-kun would you heal him for us?We'll need him for Dungeon 39C."
'f**k forgot the my watch the ai merge into that watch without it i wouldn't have an Ai assistance well doesn't matter I think we can manage the dungeon Without it'
