[ Location: Listiger Schattenorden* Guild Base, Unknown Region in German ]
In the Guildbase, at midnight, the two owners of the Guild stay in the Building for the building is also their second home as they deal with the work too.
" Ah, so boring! " the S-Rank Hunter from Trinia, now in German, Arnold Schwert Krueger, currently running the Guild, helping his brother.

" You seemed to have been bored these days, Arnold. " said his brother, calling him as he sipped his coffee.

" You should at least try to find a new hobby, Arnold, other than fighting and clashing swords. " Klaus tells him, realizing that his brother's hobby for battle had made him lose interest in other things, even having a date.
" Pffth, I want to date brother, but... " Arnold says suddenly.
" But what? " Klaus asks him back.
Arnold then remembers Yukino Fubuki and Victoria Volta, he began to remember the two during the Abyss Tower Raid back then.
"( Victoria is still beautiful, she fought valiantly... )"
"( But based on what Tristan Torrent said, that girl had lost her Gifts, now awaiting to get another one as Tristan pleases his grand-god-dad Poseidon to be her Gifter God, in exchange for Aphrodite. )"
"( I lost interest to those unable to fight, for a woman, without a Gift, they're useless for having her might've resulted in a weak child, just like what grandfather told me. )"
"( That's why... )" Arnold says as he suddenly remembers Yukino.
"( Mrs. Fubuki, she's strong and still young, she's just some ages above me. )"
"( Maybe, if I could date her... )" Arnold wonders as he then rises up.
" Oh, having an interest in waking up already? " Klaus asks Arnold as he stands up from his seat.
" Brother, you know that I always like strong women, right? " Arnold asks.
" Yes, I know that you still believe what grandfather said, didn't you? " Klaus asks him back.
" Are you going for a date or something? "
" Yeah, I think I had one in mind. " Arnold says with a smile.
" Okay, who is it? who's the lucky girl? " Klaus asks him back and Arnold immediately told him who that is.
" Lady Yukino? " Klaus hears it and then puts his head on his forehead.
" Yes brother, she's strong and beautiful, maybe I could date her sometimes, as a fellow S-Rank Hunter, can I!? " Arnold says with full confidence.
Hearing it more, Klaus responds in silence as he quickly uses his [Divine Hold] to hold Arnold's neck and raise him up into the air.
" Brother, what are- "
" I'm the one who should've been asking you! " Klaus quickly responds.
" You said you want to date S-Rank Hunter Yukino from the Fubuki Clan!? "
" Are you out of your mind!? " Klaus shouts, telling Arnold such a thing is impossible, for the Fubuki Clan is a Clan that still had blood related to the [Blue Blood Clan], not only that, the Clan itself is the most favorable Clan, patronized by the Asgardian Allfather, Loki.
" Relinquish those thoughts now, Arnold! "
" Don't even try to make relationships with the 'Blue Bloods'! " Klaus tells Arnold as he frees him from his hold.
" *gasps heavily* "
" Brother... " Arnold says while rubbing his neck.
" You know that by power and ability, I could've easily destroyed you if I were not that merciful or unprepared? " Arnold asks while panting.
" You can, you really can if you try not to be so cocky all of the time. "
" Besides, speaking of your fantasy of dating the Fubuki's daughter. "
" You should realize that the 'Blue Bloods' could no longer produce 'male children'. " Klaus tells Arnold which makes him stutter.
" Brother, wait, this is just a date, I didn't intend to... "
" I know! But the 'Blue Blood Clan' girls are all too beautiful to let go! You know this, Arnold! "
" Once you're attached to them, you may have to enter their Clan's realm of turmoil, a life that non-Blue Blood cocky bastard may not survive if they couldn't hold on. "
" It's not something I want for you, the risks are too high, this is even before the 'God Hunter Tournament' begins... "
" Especially, you should remember that since those Blue Blooded girls are nothing more than 'Privileged Girls' that always drain their male mates' finances for their high-status life. "
" I don't want that for you, so relinquish those thoughts, Arnold! " Klaus orders him which Arnold then gets as he respects his brother.
As the two try to reconcile, suddenly...
" Such a dramatic reconcile... " said a voice as the body comes out from the shadows of the room.
" Intruder! " Arnold and Klaus quickly react but the incoming person quickly webs their limbs, making them unable to activate their Gifts.
" Your Gifts mostly activate via the movement of your limbs, is it not? " said the person, a Black Shadowy woman with spider features.
" Who the hell are you!? " Klaus asks as he uses his ability to use his mind, this time, trying to hold over the woman's neck.
" Keukh! such power! "
" I see... you are adept without using your limbs, are you not? " she asks while winking at Klaus.
* Slash Sound *
A slash happened, and blood splattered, Arnold realized it suddenly and then looks at where the blood splattering originated, which actually comes from his brother as he sees his head severed while the neck creates a blood fountain.
" *GASP* "
" BROTHER! " Arnold shouts as he wonders what happened, he then sees that behind them, there's another person covered by the shadows, with its scythe blade on the hands, the blade filled with Klaus' blood as the person in the shadows successfully sliced his head while he's too focused in holding over the black shadow spider woman.
" The psychic one is dealt with, Rachina. " said the person, the woman covered by the shadows to the black shadow spider woman, calling her name.
" Thank you... " Rachina pants as she quickly webs Arnold who is too frightened to see his brother's death in such an unfair state.
" Hmph! " Arnold is successfully webbed and before he could try to move, Rachina quickly stabs his head using her spider legs, effectively making him lose his life after his brother.
< Subject [Klaus Schwert Krueger] has been eliminated. >
< Subject [Arnold Schwert Krueger] has been eliminated. >
" Good, hope the others do their work, too. " Rachina says as she with her partner then bring the two S-Rank's corpse into the shadows.
" Once a human, always a human. "
" No matter how Gifted with the power they all are," said Rachina as she yawns after successfully eliminating the two Hunters.

Extra:
*Listiger Schattenorden means Cunning Shadow Order, a Guild that mainly serves Loki as the Guild's Patron God. Made by Klaus Schwert Krueger and Arnold Schwert Krueger, the 'Schwert Krueger Brothers'.
I'm sorry if I had to kill the two here, but sadly, their powers are both too easy to deal with.
Despite their Gifts being around Tier 4 to 5, their Gifts are easy type to use and had no complicate effects for defense whatsoever, especially Arnold whose Gifts needed to use hands to summon his weapons from Loki.
For Klaus, he is strong in power but weak in physicality, he relies too much on the Gifts that made him often unaware and unable to react to sudden attacks at close-range, thus making him easily slashed as in that moment, he is constantly holding and gripping Rachina hard, exerting all of his energy towards Rachina, thus making him vulnerable to be sliced from behind.
Not to worry, these S-Ranks Hunter won't be the ones eliminated during this arc, there's still more.
Thank you very much for your understanding. KJVZeanso here thanks you from the bottom of his heart.
