"Yo!" Kiyo greeted Fimana with a smile on his face. Fimana then immediately got up and had her guard up. Fimana then with her hand, control the air around them.
From Kiyo's perspective, she most likely is creating that bird but how? The dark air comes out from nowhere and surrounds Fimana as she's still casting her spell. The dark air accumulates and is created into the shape of a bird.
"H-How are you're so close to me?! I didn't even hear your footsteps!" At the same time, Fimana launched the bird at Kiyo. Kiyo dodged it and sprinted toward Fimana from the side. Another two birds were launched. Still, Kiyo saw the attack and swiftly dodged it. Except, anything that couldn't move behind him was obviously obliterated to pieces.
At the same time, Fimana didn't realize there was a chain binding on her leg. The chain connected to Kiyo's hand. As Kiyo gently pulled the chain, Fimana immediately lost her balance. Kiyo catches Fimana before she falls to the ground.
"Watch for your step lady. You may damage your pretty skin if you were to fall here." Fimana's face went red as she realized she was in the embrace of the man she barely knew. Fimana tried to push Kiyo to let go of his embrace.
"D-D-Don't your parents teach you not to touch a girl's body so casually?" (Fimana)
"Ehh~ But my parents did teach me, not to harm any lady regardless had her fangs up. So every time A girl was to fight with me, I had to use the nonharm way to defeat them. I'm following my parent's advice you know? So... My lady, why don't you drop your fangs and come clean already?" (Kiyo)
Fimana was hesitant about whether to attack or surrender herself. Considering Kiyo could do any harm to her at any point. From Kiyo's point of view, Fimana still has a serious face. Indicates that she will not surrender just like that since she's from a noble family.
("Huh, looks like this is not gonna be as easy as it looks.") Kiyo took out a few knives from his bag pockets to prepare himself. At the same time, inside of Fimana's mind...
("Scary Scary Scary Scary!!! This guy is too fast for me to see him! I could get my throat cut again! What should I do? Should I do the dogeza and apologize and plead for my life?! But what if he doesn't forgive me?!")
("*gasp* That body size... that black shirt... That way he looked at me... There's no doubt about it, this is the same guy from the Blackmail doujin I read!!! Don't tell me, he's gonna do this and that to me?!! Oh God, what should I do...") (Reminder: This girl is uhh... Too much thinking yeah! Totally!)
(She's not responding... Did she decide to buy time for her team to come and help?! Considering the massive explosion before, they all should be on their way now... Which means I have to deal with this girl as fast as possible!") Kiyo then sprints toward Fimana. Meanwhile, Mika saw a light briefly emanating from the top of the hill.
"Kiyo! Watch out!" Kiyo heard the warning and stopped sprinting. At the same time, the same shape of the bullet has passed Kiyo in an inch. If Kiyo were to be in front any further, he would be penetrated by the bullet like the first time it penetrated him.
"Not for the second time! I'm already aware of it!" Kiyo took out a smoke bomb from his bag pockets and covered the whole area with the smoke. Zoya at the top of the hill instantly loses sight of him.
("Tch, Godamnit... Jamis! Where the hell are you?!") Losing the sight of Kiyo, Zoya decided to change her target on Mika. The bullet was sent at such a great speed that it would leave a hole in any object or living being. But... Not for that one specific 'object'.
"Tenjiro Technique: The World's Divider!" The sniper's bullets were bisected in two. As for Zoya, she too was surprised...
"I'Imposible! H-How... Nobody can ever see through the speed of the bullet!!! Just who the hell is this guy?!!" (Zoya)
Rio then sheaths his sword and takes a deep breath.
"Until thou has surpassed the thunder... Non shall surpass thy... Tenjiro Family is the family solely in teaching in art of swordsmanship and lightning magic... So we have been horn our sight to react faster than lightning. That bullet... Sure is fast... But I've seen faster..."
The smoke then has been blown off by the wind bit by bit. And there are Kiyo, and Fimana that have been tied up with a chain.
("Ehhhhhhhh~ When did I get tied up with a chain? I couldn't even realize it! Moreover, I can't even hear any sounds from him...") (Fimana)
"I got her, Rio! Let's get out of here now!" (Kiyo)
"Not yet!" Lightning accumulated from inside Rio's body. Rio can feel the electricity flowing in his body. He then sprints toward the hill where Zoya is. But Rio was interrupted. Three bullets come from his right side but Rio manages to block all three of them. And then, Along with Michail's follow-up, he tried to swing his sword on Rio's blind spot.
Unfortunately, Rio managed to block his attack. As Michail was clashing against Rio, a few bullets flew past Michail to Rio. Of course, Rio managed to block and dodge all of them, along with a few shots from Zoya.
("This guy... This guy is stronger than before... That electricity is flowing in his body right now... It's enchanting his agility and physical prowess...") At this point, Rio is obviously the powerhouse here.
As Michail was cornered by Rio, he slightly saw his sister in the corner of his eye. A veins popping out from his face, as he swings with all his might. Sending Rio flying quite a distance. Michail then sprints toward Fimana and Kiyo.
"You... HOW DARE YOU TIED UP MY SISTER WITH YOUR UNCLEAN PIECE OF CHAIN!!!"
