Chương 35: 「 Viole 」
* tap *
* tap *
Right now Shibisu, Vespa and Rea are running towards the main stairs in the Lobby, which connects the right side and left side of the hotel. When the three of them were about to climbing up the stairs, suddenly a figure in a black robe jumped from above and stopped their movements.
"Looks like he's a member of the Jue Viole Grace team, let me face him captain." Vespa pulled her needle shaped like an abdomen of a bee, complete with its sting.
Then 2 Observers appeared on both sides of Shibisu's body.
"Alright, I'll help you from behind."
While Rea who is not interested in fighting against people other than Jue Viole Grace is just silent and does not plan to join the fight.
* zyuuung *
Without further ado, Vespa immediately flew using her two wings and immediately glided towards the robed figure. But the figure also took out his spear and attacked Vespa.
But like a bee, Vespa avoids the attack of the figure and appears behind him.
"Not bad~" Rea commented when she saw the speed Vespa showed, although it was still far below her, but for an E-Rank Regular, it was pretty impressive.
"Don't be surprised at my speed, human," Vespa said arrogantly to the figure.
* fwuosh * * clang *
The first prick from the Vespa was deflected easily, but she carried out a follow-up attack and was again successfully deflected by that figure. they both continue to attack each other, while Shibisu was busy adjusting his aim.
It is the duty of a Scout to help Fisherman attack.
"27.18.30 Reset the shot, hold the angle ..."
* whir * * whir *
"... Shoot!"
When the battle was underway, Shibisu fired a Beam from his Observer which forced the robed figure to avoid it.
And Vespa who was ready behind him to attack using her sting.
" Gotcha. "
* fwuosh *
However, before the needle could really hit the figure, someone suddenly appeared and rescued the robed figure. Vespa widened her eyes in surprise, but luckily, the attack she made slightly injured the hand of the roned figure.
* drip *
Rea and Shibisu widened their eyes when they saw the figure who intervened in the Vespa battle just now. It was a tall young man with dark brown ponytails. His bangs covered his eyes, and the figure matched the appearance description of ...
"... Jue Viole Grace," muttered Shibisu.
Then Viole was seen tearing the clothes from the robed figure and tying them to his face to cover his mouth.
Unwittingly, Rea had pulled her Chosinseong and grinned at Viole.
"Finally you show up, Jue Viole Grace ... I've been wanting to meet you for a long time."
Viole did flinch a bit when he saw Rea, but he returned to his usual attitude. He then spoke in a cold voice.
"I don't think it's good for both of us to fight each other here, what if you retreat from here."
"Heh, retreat? I've come all the way here and make Kira-bro annoyed me, just to fight with you. Don't be a coward and face me, Jue Viole Grace." A white aura began to emanate from Chosinseong in Rea's hand.
'Mr. Kira? ' Viole thought.
"Oi Human, don't take the main part for yourself, I also want to fight with this Slayer Nominee" said Vespa who had returned to Shibisu's side.
"Shut up, bee, don't interfere."
"What did you say?" Blue veins appeared on Vespa's forehead when she heard Rea's words.
"Stop it, Vespa, let her take care of Jue Viole Grace, because we also have someone to take care of." Shibisu said, he glanced at the silver masked figure standing behind Viole.
"Tch, all right."
While Viole then glanced sideways slightly.
"Mr. Reflejo, can I leave Sh-, I mean those two people to you?"
"As you wish, Mr. Viole."
The masked figure named Reflejo then jumped from his spot before Shibisu and Vespa. He then issued a large scythe with a red blade.
While Viole and Rea have faced each other face to face. Rea analyzes her opponent carefully.
'Jue Viole Grace, it seems like he doesn't use any special weapons, a Wave Controller huh ... this will be a bit troublesome depending on how many Baangs he can make. '
* cling *
'But it doesn't matter, as long as I'm faster than the attack, then I'll be able to approach him easily. '
Then Rea prepared to attack, Viole who realized that immediately made three Baangs behind him. He knew very well how Rea's fighting style is.
'I must finish this fight as soon as possible, If not... ' Viole doesn't like doing futile battles, especially against his own friend, he hates it.
Viole stretched his hand towards Rea, Rea who saw it widened her eyes before realizing that her body had been stopped by force.
'This technique! '
'I'm sorry Miss Rea. '
Then Viole launched the three Baangs towards Rea. Luckily Rea has regained her mobility and managed to avoid the first attack, and fend off the second two attacks using her sword aura.
* clang * * clang *
'With this, I will immediately narrow my distance to him-'
* fwuosh *
But Rea's mind was too naive, Viole had first created two additional Baangs and attacked Rea.
* boom *
Rea managed to avoid two attacks from Viole at the last moment, and the Baang that Viole fired could only do damage to the wall behind her.
Without wasting time, Rea immediately used the wall as a foothold and glided towards Viole who was standing on the stairs with incredible speed. She glides like a white flash and swings Chosinseong vertically.
* swing *
Viole managed to avoid it, but Rea who had expected that immediately kicked Viole's chest which made him slammed backward.
* bump *
Even so, Viole didn't let Rea freely attack him, he spread his arm and tried again to stop Rea's movements. Seeing that, Rea learned from her mistakes before and immediately backed away quickly.
"You think I will fall twice in your tricks? ... then you are very naive Jue Viole Grace."
* cling *
"Arie Rea Swordmanship ..." White aura covered Rea's hand, she looked at Viole and locked her weaknesses in less than a second.
'With this one strike, I will end it. 'Rea then changed the way she gripped her sword and and cross the sword with her body.
The reason why the Arie family is seen as the greatest sword user bloodline is because they can freely use their swordsmanship at Shinsu with even high density. An achievement that would be very difficult for someone from ordinary bloodline to achieve.
"... Shooting Star."
*flash*
Rea then turned into a circle of white light and glided towards Viole with incredible speed. But when Rea slid towards Viole, for a moment she realized something.
' This brat... '
In that very short amount of time, she saw Viole's eyes. That was not the cold gaze that a murderer should have, it was a warm gaze that was familiar to Rea.
Moreover, Viole deliberately opened his defense to her and did not even try to protect or avoid Rea's attacks.
Seeing that, Rea widened her eyes and in an instant stopped the swing of her sword, and instead used her legs to kick Viole's chest to make him fly back and hit the wall behind him.
* bump *
"Cough!"
Viole vomited blood and fell on the wall because he was hit by a kick from Rea. Rea then immediately closed her distance and arrived in front of Viole, she then pointed her sword at Viole's neck with a serious face.
* cling *
"You ... did you hold yourself back against me?"
But before Rea got an answer from Viole, Reflejo who was fighting Aleksai, Vespa, and Shibisu suddenly flew towards Rea and attacked her using a large scythe in his hand.
* swuut *
Rea who saw that was avoiding it easily and immediately jumped back, and returned to Shibisu's side and the others.
* tap *
After regaining her footing, she stared at Viole who tried to stand, assisted by Reflejo.
"Are you ok, Mr. Viole?"
Viole immediately stood up because he tried not to show his weaknesses to Reflejo. He cleaned the blood in his mouth and said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"What should we do now, it looks like the girl from the Arie family is dangerous, do I have to intervene to take care of it?" Said Reflejo while waving his schyte in the air.
"No, you will not be able to defeat her, we will retreat."
Hearing Viole's words, Reflejo was silent and looked slightly towards the master he was serving. To be honest, Viole's current attitude was truly disappointing, besides being cornered by a member of 10 Great families, he also tried to withdraw from the fight. Is that how a slayer candidate should act? But for Reflejo Viole's command was absolute, especially since he had not used his fake Thorn.
"As you wish, Mr. Viole."
Shibisu who saw that shouted.
"Oi, wait a minute! Do you think you can just leave this place?"
However, he was stopped by Rea.
"Stop Shibisu, this fight is pointless if we continue, besides that that bee and Aleksai have been injured due to the masked man, we just stop the fight here." Rea said.
Shibisu who saw that looked at Rea strangely, then he thought.
'Eh? Wasn't she the one who was excited to fight with Jue Viole Grace, why did her attitude suddenly change? Did something happen before ... '
Then, Jue Viole Grace and his comrades went down the right aisle and retreat, the fight was over. Shibisu sighed in resignation before he looked at Rea.
Actually, the reason he came to the Workshop battle was to avenge Jue Viole Grace for Aguero's dead. He gave that up to Rea because Shibisu knew that Rea also seemed to have seen the news of Aguero's death and had come to avenge him.
But right now she was letting him escape, Shibisu couldn't understand that.
"Why did you let him escape?" Shibisu asked with a sharp look towards Rea, who was seen putting Chosinseong back in her Reel Inventory.
"That's none of your business," Rea said, not intending to continue the conversation.
"You yourself know that Jue Viole Grace is the person who killed Khun, and I'm sure you came here to avenge him, I don't understand the reason you are doing this at all."
"Aguero isn't dead yet, Emily told me. I came here only to fight with Jue Viole Grace, and because he wasn't as strong as people talked about, so I lost my interest, as simple as that. So shut your mouth." Rea said, who immediately walked while carrying a pistol in her hand. Of course part of what she said just now was a lie.
Shibisu who saw that was silent, he stopped talking because it seemed that Rea had no intention of continuing the conversation and planned to go straight to Archimedes.
"Give my regards to Kira!" Shibisu said, and Rea just waved without turning around.
Shibisu then turned and said to Vespa and Aleksai.
" let's get out of here too, before we run out of tickets. Tell Verdi to gather in the designated place, we will fight Jue Viole Grace again at the Battle Workshop later."
Vespa and Aleksai nodded. Then, the three of them went in the opposite direction from Rea. Without realizing that there was someone who was watching their fight from the beginning.
Meanwhile, Rea is currently pointing her gun at one of the regulars who is lying helpless on the floor.
'Those eyes, are you ... Bam? 'Rea recalled the gaze that Viole had given earlier.
But Rea immediately shook her head and patted her cheeks so hard.
"No, no, Bam died a long time ago. I had to stop thinking about that useless thing and immediately go to Archi before Kira-bro gets angry."
* bang *
After firing the regular using a dark bullet, a red Halo appeared above Rea's head and her body was slowly enveloped in red light before disappearing.
And a few minutes later, available tickets reach the number 0 which indicates the end of the game. The number of regular who passed was 249 people.
[One Shot One Opportunity Game | Finish]
***
A few moments before, Kira had first arrived Archimedes, but as he said, Kira did not immediately meet Mai and the boys but decided to look for Gustang alone.
He originally thought to ask Mai about it, but Mai said that the last time she went to Archimedes was hundreds of years ago. Because of that, Kira dismissed the idea and decides to find him by himself with help from Emily.
Kira is currently seen standing in the hall, fiddling with a smartphone in his hand, his Hoodie helped him to cover his face.
* tap * * tap *
[Emily, is Po Bidau Gustang at Archimedes right now? ]
[Yes, he is here]
Seeing the answer from Emily, Kira noticed an oddity.
'He is here? Doesn't that mean Emily is also at Archimedes ... 'Kira paused before typing again.
[Do you know where he is right now? ]
Kira waiting for an answer, this time the answer came longer than before.
[If you want to know, you have to pay 1 dollar! ]
' Hah? Did this thing just make a joke? Or this is one way to avoid certain topics of conversation. '
When Kira was thinking about what he should ask next, suddenly he saw two officers wearing gray uniforms, they wore helmets to cover their faces and carried a weapons. It seems like it was a security unit guarding Archimedes.
Kira glanced at the two officers before muttering softly.
"Fatamorgana"
Without noticing Kira's whereabouts, the two officers continued to walk while chatting.
"Have you heard, I heard Mr Eo and Mr Punk have the support of that master bussinessman... what is his name ..."
"Madoraco"
"Ah you're right, aren't they afraid ' the teachers ' know that?"
"Well, forget it, that is the business of the higher ups, right now we just have to focus on carrying out our duties to help Miss Sophia look after Emily ... or whatever it is called."
" You are right. "
The two officers then entered a room with an automatic door, without realizing that from the beginning all their conversations had been heard by Kira.
Canceling the effects of his mirage, Kira's form returned. He looked at the door where the officer had entered earlier and murmured.
"Looks like I have to rethink an offer from Hansung Yu before."
After feeling that it would be futile if he carried out a further search, Kira then turned and decided to leave the place.
