Chapter 22 - Chapter 9

Raccoon... Raccoon... I need to defeat him.

Clown simply looked at me, then at the enemy, and simply started to walk to the side with a smirk.

"Well then, good luck darling. I will watch everything."

He leaned against the wall.

Wait he... Is just going to watch?

"C-Clown?... I thought that..."

"Go on little boy, I want to see everything."

The enemy stood up. He looked like he did that day, I don't feel anything coming from him. Or I just can't.

"How dishonest."

he took a knife out of his pocket.

"The raccoon isn't here."

He is just talking about random things. Nobody asked him that!

"Alright! It's time to settle this down for once!! I will finally use my SISU!!!"

Clown smirked at me.

"Muohohoho, i'm sooooooooo excited..."

"And what will be the Protector's one."

He now refers to himself in the third person...

"HERE I GO!!"

Amari Pov:

Now I, Amari, i'm the protagonist hehe.

This girl is staring in my front, in this tight but extensive corridor.

I can't see her face, I can't read her emotions, but she looks pretty confident.

"Green-haired, would you mind telling me your ability?"

"Ha! Like hell I will! But just for you to know, the 3 of us have the same!"

"Ah, understood. So it's the stealing one, or you have an ability like Sayuri's one. One that you can learn many things."

"W-What, N-NO! O-OF COURSE NOT! I-T CAN'T BE THE SECOND OPTION, I-IT WOULD NEVER BE THE SECOND OPTION!!"

...

"It's the second option."

"I'TS NOT! tsk..."

Yeah she isn't that smart, nor seems strong...

"Well then..."

I stretched the chains of the 3 leftmost fingers (the "normal" ones)

"Let's start."

I suddenly, in an attempt at a surprise attack, tried to tie her up with one of the chains, but she managed to dodge it with a jump backwards.

She's fast...

"Ha! Like if that would be enough to catch me."

"We'll see..."

I started a quick sequence of attacks, using the 3 chains one at a time trying to grab her, but she always managed to dodge to the sides or backwards

After a time of attacks, I stopped, having walked a few meters.

She said with a cold tone.

"Too slow too slow too slow... You will never catch me. The chains of your ring always bend at the end trying to grab me. In those moments I dodge it.."

"Yeah, I noticed that... But there's one thing you didn't realize..."

I raised my hand, ready to strike again.

"It doesn't have to bend!!"

I threw my hand towards her, seeing the chains she tried to jump back, but she simply couldn't go far enough, as my chains stretched even further.

"It also works like a whip!!!"

One chain hit her in her body, then another and another.

I hit it right on target, she moaned in pain

"Y-You damn..."

She was gasping, visibly hurt.

"Now i'ts time to use my true power!... Wonder what it is?"

"I kinda already know it..."

"Tsk, it was wrong. I mean, kinda, but it wasn't the second option... So let me ask you again, you wonder what it is?"

I simply nodded.

"Well... I can heal the others!"

...

"Heal the others?"

"Yes. So far only that, but I'm improving."

Is she serious right now? That's really all she can do?

"Hey I have something to tell you... Something that, will make you... go crazy."

She crossed her arms and turned her head, looking with a great arrogance, seen even beneath the mask.

"And what would it be..."

"I can also heal people."

...

"Mind repeating that?"

"I said, I can also heal people..."

"I see..."

...

"W-WHO TAUGHT YOU THE RACCOON'S SECRET SHARED SISU!?"

Yeah, she is angry with me.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but it's just part of my power. And how did you expect to defeat me with that power? What you were gonna do, heal me?!"

I think she had a reality check.

"Oh..."

She was just there, staring at nothing."

"I see..."

"So... Do you surrender?"

Sayuri Pov:

Now, the protagonist is I, Sayuri, the one who's going to become the greatest Wizard in the w-

Suddenly, a knife appeared in my direction, but I was able to dodge it.

"AHHHH! AT LEAST LET ME FINISH MY SENTENCE!!"

"YOU WERE TALKING TO YOURSELF!!"

I'm fighting the brown-haired dude... Wait, he was the one that...

"Oh, I remember you... You stole my..."

"S-Sorry for that, wasn't my intention... At all."

"At all?!"

He quickly changed the subject.

"Well uh... Are you a Wizard?"

"Yeah of course..."

He didn't realize? My clothes, my staff...

"Oh cool... So uh, how are you?"

Is he wasting time?

I said nothing, and just pointed my staff at him.

"B-"

"It's been enough."

Wait, I'm hearing something spinning? Something from behin-

A knife appeared spinning in the air in my direction.

A knife? Coming from behind me!? Who threw it!?... Wait, a knife... Oh I get it now, his knife has some boomerang effect. Wow. So cool!

The knife came, and in the last second I was able to dodge, and it only made a small scratch on my arm.

It's bleeding too.

I looked at my arm, and stared at it for a second.

"Hey... you tore my clothes..."

He started to walk forward. We were very afar.

"Yeah, luckily you survived... My goal was to kill you, and that might-"

"BIUM!!"

I quickly grabbed my staff, and used Bium (the one that creates a small laser), at behind.

My Bium flew and hit a boomerang knife, destroying it.

He stopped, tho I can't see his face, he probably is shocked!

"How... How did you know!?"

I smirked. This is my win.

"A great Wizard has sharp senses... Or maybe you chose the battlefield, this is a closed place... Obviously you already had something prepared, I just didn't expect it to be something so simple."

I pointed my staff at him.

"So it's a Sisu that the knives spin in the air infinitely in circles huh? Circles not necessarily..."

He seemed quite angry, by his voice.

"M-Maybe... M-Maybe not... But T-"

"AHHHHHH!! BROWN-HAIRED GUY, HELP MEEEEE!!!"

We suddenly started to hear this voices coming from the middle. We are in right corridor, the middle is where we were before, in the right is Amari...

"BIUM!"

I destroyed another knife.

"Ahhhh, this h-"

"BROWN-HAIRED, HELP ME!!!′

Suddenly, the door opened and appeared the green-haired raccoon girl, looking desperate and coming in our direction.

"HELP MEE! I'M GONNA DIE !!!"

The brown-haired guy looked at her.

"Lo-... R-Raccoon girl, what are you doing here!?"

"SHE IS GONNA KILL ME!! AHHHH!"

She quickly ran through us and kept running in the corridor, even though this room has no exit.

"HEY COME BACK HERE!! YOU CAN'T JUST RUN AW- Oh, hi Sayuri!"

It's Amari. She appeared looking very angry. Think she was pursuing the green-haired.

"Bium."

I used it on the brown-haired guy, he was focused in Amari and the other girl, so he got hit in surprised.

Then the green-haired stopped, noticing on her front was me and behind was Amari.

She looked at me, then at Amari, then back at me and said.

"C-Can we talk?..."

Yeah, we won.

Kai Pov:

Clown made a smirk at me, observing everything leaning against the wall of that rocky place.

"Oh finally? Go on, We're waiting for."

I took a deep breath.

"Alright..."

I spread my arms straight out to the sides, and spread my legs.

"Super Stance!"

Suddenly, a viscous and sticky material, more liquid than solid, began to run down my legs and arms very quickly, covering them like armor.

At in the end, after covering my limbs, it solidified and became very rigid.

I then opened my left hand and pointed at Raccoon, while I raised my right hand and also pointed at him, but keeping it behind, closed and stretched, like an arrow.

"This is personal!!!"
