Chapter 17: A Black Blur of a Villain
I steady my breath, it's no use if I can't fight with a clear mind...
...
(Scarlet ??? POV)
Hmph, look at that imbecile. I don't even know why the council wants them, they were both weak. But that maid has potential. Especially that ice, just like my fire we could evolve it into something better.
Then I could make the council assign her to my team. I would then train her up to my level and then my team will be indestructible. Missions that I'd thought were impossible, could suddenly be achievable. I could be promoted to a three star general. I better tell Phil this, he'll help me with this.
My eyes shined gold when looked at her, all I need to do is get rid of this trash. I'm sure they wouldn't mind him dead.
I'll just say that he died with the other C to D rank recruits. That he was too weak and didn't deserve their attention, that it was a waste of time.
Now let's get to business.
I looked at them, I'm taking her...
...
(Selene POV)
(A/N: She's a slave, so she has no last name, nor remembers it)
Ugh, disgusting.
The way she looks at me, I'm guessing she's lesbian? Sorry, I'm not interested. I shivered under her even more possessive gaze and looked at Sir, I guess I should concentrate too.
We ready our stances. Sir held his sword in a long-point-like-guard, while I stood in a more relaxed stance, I'm not going to fight close up anyway.
"AAAARRRGGGGGGGGG" Sir shouted and swung back his sword, only for me to see a flash of light before I see him in a swing down pose.
Huh? The floor in front of me was now like a huge ravine, stretching from us to the edge of the town. Houses and buildings were cut in half in the process. Sir's this powerful!? I could only think about how powerful he would be when he was in his prime.
How powerful would my Lady be? Is she alright, now that I think about it now? I turned to Sir to see a pained expression.
I guess the swing was too powerful and exerting?
We stare at the witch, she's still alive!? IMPOSSIBLE!?
We watched her receive the slash, and yet when I see her shoulders, there was only a measly cut.
"I guess it wouldn't be fun if you would've died at that test" Sir chuckled. What!? Test!? That wasn't full powered?
They both looked like mountains now, a power I couldn't receive in all my whole lifetime. That was the first time I felt like I was useless in a fight.
The pressure increased all around us.
"I guess I can then test you too, right?"
"If I wasn't so confident in killing you, then I would've ran away" Then Sir stretched his hand out and made a sign to her 'come on'
...
(Scarlet ??? POV)
Oh he's asking for huh?
'Gravity X20'
Under the feet of both of them started to crack. I guess your pretty strong, but you will soon be grovelling and screaming under my feet. Lets turn it up.
'Gravity X100'
Craters appeared under his feet, I saw that the maid fainted under the gravity and I released her. Shes no use to my team if she's dead. But the man remained, standing strong and unmoving. I see he's not bluffing.
'Gravity X250'
HUH!? My eye twitched, this isn't humanly possible. He's not human! I looked at him smiling at me with a smug grin...
'Release'
The ground groaned, it was broken apart and looked like it had been hit with an earthquake, maybe mix in a tornado, and the result might look close enough.
The man leaned forward, and then back.
"*Crack* *Crack* Ahhhhhh, what a nice exercise. Now, are you ready to fight?" He was stretching? Your getting on my nerves, I'm not going to spare you or your family!
"Hell yeah I am!" The temperature rose and the ground shook.
I sent a wave of fire at him, he took it like a champ. He didn't even dodge. I'm guessing I'm on the attacking side now?
I raised my stretched my arms towards him, flames like wildfire erupted from my palms. Dancing across the air, melting everything in its path. I aimed the fire at the man. Rocks rumbled and a stone wall ejected from the ground to block the fire.
I cease fire with one hand and raise it high. The flames above my hands grew bigger and bigger. They circled around each other in a sphere. Getting bigger and bigger I stop my other flame throwing hand.
Above me was a giant ball of fire. It was suffocating, it kept swallowing air to maintain its form. This is the strongest I can make it, and with it I launched it at the man.
(A/N: SPIRIT BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMB)
*BOOM* *CRASH* *EXPLOSION* *OTHER SIMILAR SOUND EFFECTS*
...
The area was like water, it evaporated into the wind. Whew, wait. Aww man, I forgot about the maid. Maybe she survived? It was unlikely, but not impossible.
"Your lucky I also saw potential in the maid as well, or else she might've been burned alive by your recklessness" I looked to the side of me and saw a man dressed in a black ninja suit. Oh, he's assigned to this mission too? And what is he wearing?
"PFFT, you still wear that? Even after I dunked it in piss?"
"Unlike you, I have an identity outside of the organisation I wish to hide. And- DID YOU SAY YOU DUNKED IT IN PISS!?"
"HAHAHAHA, whew. You can never take a joke Phil" I wiped the tears in my eyes. He rolled his nearly covered eyes, or it might've been him just looking somewhere else?
"Use my code name when we're on missions! I don't want people to know my identity"
"How can someone tell your real identity from your name? What? Do people actually look for you? Do they then look for people who are male...or female, I won't judge. And then look for the weak and ugly ones that are called Phil? And your code name? Do I call you black or blur, which one do you prefer?"
"For your information, I'm very much a man. Much more of a man than you! And it's BLACK BLUR!"
"I don't think you need to tell me that if you don't have the evidence. Especially that boring code name, it sure does strike fear into the enemy's hearts. Just accept your nature and be a proper woman. But your more like girl, if you can hide your assets that well as a guy, then you must've not been blessed with these things" I said to Phil, groping my own mountains. Phil face palmed and chucked the maid at me.
"You owe me!" Phill said, pointing at me.
"What do I owe you? A date? I know a lot of great guys, what type would you like me to hook you up with?" Phil grumbled, man I love this guy, or woman. He didn't say no to my offer so I'm still confused. Maybe he should be assigned to my missions more frequently?
"You better hurry and go back to base, they won't be happy that you killed our targets and lost a lot of recruits. So you better make it up to them with the maid. I'm going to go, I have a few kids to slaughter" As he turned to the west town gates, I heard a cough behind me.
"I believe that's my son your about to kill, are you ready to face the consequences?" Phil and I raised an eyebrow. Since when was he behind me? And how did he survive the blast? Looking at him, though he was bloodied up, he had no major injuries.
"Not really, imma stay here for a bit" Me and the man frowned in his direction. Is he stupid or what?
"A prey is nothing without a thrilling hunt" And then Phil elegantly sat down a few blocks away in a over dramatic pose, like he had just spoke the words that were meant to reveal the secrets to the universe. Isn't it the other way around?
"Why are you still here?"
"Cause I wanna give them a head start? That's what I'm doing" The man behind me chuckled, your giving mercy to those children? After all those years at the organisation where we raised you, and yet you still have a soft spot for children?
"Can we agree to kill him in the crossfire" I said to the man while pointing at Phil's direction. The man was stunned at my statement, after weighing the pros and cons, he said.
"S-s-sure?..." I smiled
"I'm glad where on the same page"
