Chapter 10 Shio joins the fight

"AKIYOSHIIIIIII!" Annie shouted as Akiyoshi fell yo the ground.

She quickly went to check on him. He was still alive, but he could barely breathe. Almost all of his organs have been burned by his flames.

"I shall admit it, I mat have won the fight but in truth, it was you who won the battle." Nino, who was still standing, said.

"Akiyoshi, akiyoshi, akiyoshi, are you okay?" Annie asked.

Cough, cough, cough, Akiyoshi tried to respond, but he could barely move his mouth, and he could only cough.

"Huh, that's a relief. Thank God you're okay. We need to get you to the medics." Annie said to herself.

"Sorry, but no one is going to the medics, that kid, he's coming with me." Nino stated.

"What! No, you can't be serious. You can see that he needs medical attention or he's going to die. Please let me get him to a healer." Annie pleaded.

'If we get that fragment of the Dragon God, then our organization shall become more powerful.' Nino thought, then he spoke, "Sorry but I'm not negotiating."

"Please!!!" Annie pleaded more, but Nino drove a hard bargain.

"Listen, woman, I'm not negotiating with you, hand him over, otherwise, I'll kill you." Nino said.

Annie looked at Akiyoshi who was in a pitiful state, she then turned back and looked at Nino and said, "Do your worst, but you're not getting him from me."

"As you wish." Nino said, and he shot Annie with a beam.

"Aaargghh!" Annie shouted as the blast pierced through her shoulder.

"Now step aside before things get even uglier."

"I said do your worst, son of a b**** ."

Nino began crying, then he said, "I really hate having to pierce such a beautiful body, but you leave me no choice."

Nino started piercing Annie's body with many more beams until she could protect Akiyoshi no more.

"It's over, woman." Nino said as he charged up his last beam.

"A.. Annie... please get ou... out of the way." Akiyoshi said using every last ounce of his being.

Annie turned back to look at Akiyoshi, she smiled, and then she said,"It wouldn't be fair if I left you here, would it."

Akiyoshi looked at Annie in the eyes, then thought to himself, 'I'm sorry, Mushi, I failed, and even after you trusted me so much, I still failed. I'm pitiful.'

"Be gone with you, woman." Nino said as he was about to unleash the blast, but then somebody grabbed Nino's hand and said, "That's just about enough."

Nino, Annie, and Akiyoshi all looked to see who it was, and all of them were shocked that the person was:

SHIO NAKAMURA!

Shio punched Nino away, he crashed into the walls and was burried in the rubble, and then he took a look at Annie, Akane, and Akiyoshi.

He walked towards Akane, took her, and placed her next to Akiyoshi.

Annie was about to say something, but Shio closed her mouth and said,"Don't say anything for now."

Shio cracked his knuckles, then he activated his magical spell ABSOLUTE HEALTH, and he used it on all three of them.

"So, how do you guys feel?" Shio asked.

"I feel brand new." Akiyoshi answered, and Annie replied with, "Same."

Akane woke up and asked,"What's for dinner?"

HAHAHAHAHAHA, They all laughed at Akane.

RAAAAAR! Nino got out of the rubble.

All of them turned their attention at him.

"Wow, the famous newbie, the hotshot genius himself, the new Headmaster, the one and only Shio Nakamura. It's such a pleasure to meet you." Nino said.

"So, are you the one behind this castle?" Shio asked.

"Why'd you think that?"

"It's because in this castle, there were only four strong enemies, and all of them are elite ranks. You included, so one of you is probably responsible, so who is it?" Shio asked.

"Sorry to disappoint, but none of us are, the people responsible are not inside." Nino answered.

"Is that so, then they must be really powerful to be able to create such a strong castle, it's entirely indestructible." Shio said, talking to himself.

"Now then, enough with the small talk, who are you? Who do you work for? And what do you want?" Shio asked.

"Wow, you have a lot of questions, do you, but don't worry, I'll tell you. My name is Nino, I work for the Anti-Shio Nakamura organization or [ASNO] if you may, and we want the system." Nino explained.

Shio froze in one place, his thoughts racing against each other, and his eyes widened, 'What the hell? The Anti-Shio Nakamura organization, wanting the system. What the hell is going on?'

"We knew that you would be shocked, but now isn't the time for that." Nino said, and then he unleashed his magical power, and then he said commandingly, "Give me the system."

[NINO WANTS THE SYSTEM, GIVE HIM THE SYSTEM]

[YES OR NO]

'WHAATTT! I can give him the system, how? If I say yes, I can give him the system, and if no then I will be rejecting.' Shio thought.

"SYSTEM? What the hell are you talking about?" Annie asked.

"OH right, you never told anyone about the system, have you." Nino said."So tell them and give it to me."

"The system, I have no idea what you're talking about." Shio replied.'This cannot be, I never told anyone about the system, so how come he knows about it.'

"Don't lie, okay, you don't have to tell them about it,but GIVE ME THE SYSTEM."

[GIVE THE SYSTEM]

[YES OR NO]

'I see he used a command spell, and it reached my system. That doesn't matter for now, though. I've been busy searching for a way to get rid of this system, and now I have a chance to get rid of it.' Shio thought.

"So will you GIVE ME THE SYSTEM?"

[GIVE THE SYSTEM]

[YES OR NO]

[GIVE THE SYSTEM]

[NO]

[THE OFFER TO GIVE THE SYSTEM WAS DENIED]

"I told you, didn't I, I have no idea what're you're talking about." Shio replied.

"So that's how you wanna do it then." Nino said.

'I'll figure out another way of removing the system,but I'm not going to give it to this guy, or who knows what he'll use it for.'

"If you won't give me the system, then let's BATTLE FOR THE SYSTEM." Nino said.

[A BATTLE FOR THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN ISSUED]

[NINO VS SHIO]

[THE WINNER SHALL KEEP THE SYSTEM]

[BEGIN]

'What! I've never seen this as well. Who is this guy? How come he knows more about the system than I do? He can't even see it si who told him about it? This guy , I must take him in as a hostage. He'll tell me more about the system.'

Nino unleashed his beams of light and shot them at Shio, Shio took out his sword, and then he used absolute cancel.

He ran towards Nino, canceled every last one of Nino's beams, and then punched him away. Nino maintained his balance and stood still, but then Shio appeared behind him and kicked him in the head.

Shio then kicked him in the guts and Into to the walls, BOOM! He crashed.

[BATTLE FOR THE SYSTEM IS OVER]

[WINNER IS: SHIO]

"Uhh, who was I kidding, I can't beat the headmaster. Even if I was at full power, I still would've lost." Nino admitted.

'Man, Mushi is amazing, he's on a whole other level, I struggled a lot with this guy, and Shio just beat him in less than ten seconds.' Akiyoshi thought.

'Oh man, things are looking bad. Who were we fooling? None of us in the organization are a match for him, only the master, and from what he told me, thus guy is still limiting 90% of his powers.' Nino thought.

Shio walked towards Nino, but then Nino got up really fast, and then he ran to Akiyoshi's direction, took him then ran away with him at full speed.

'Well, if we can't have the system, then we'll take this Akiyoshi kid.' Nino thought.

AKIYOSHIII! Annie shouted.

"I should've healed his magical power as well, cause now he's only at full power and has no magic." Shio said.

"Why don't you go after him?" Annie and Akane asked.

"Don't worry, I'll go after him." Shio replied.

Step! Step! Step! Step! Step! Nino ran at a speed faster than light.

"Hey! Let go of me you bastard!" Akiyoshi fought.

"Shut up damn brat!" Nino scolded, 'Damn, why is this castle so big anyways, I can't remember where the exit is, but not to worry, I can search for as long as I need, while going at a speed faster than light itself, there's no way he's going to catch up to me.'

WOOOSHHH! PUNCH! Shio appeared from the left and punched Nino with a powerful force.

Nino fell unconscious, and Akiyoshi was retrieved.
