"Fuuu…."
A cloud of smoke was breathed out as Lucius sighed.
After several weeks of pursing from his attackers, he was finally able to escape their reach.
Naturally by that, he means kill them all.
Cracking his neck, he stretched his body.
"Che, old bastards thinking I was an easy target." He spat out as he threw away his cigarette.
Right now, he was mentally worn out and fatigued. He needed a safe location to rest up.
Walking over to the mages guild, he went up to the receptionist.
"Get Mark over here." He said as the receptionist frowned.
"I'm afraid you don't have the permission."
"Just tell him his lord is here then." Lucius narrowed his eyes.
The receptionist paused hearing this and nodded.
Jogging to the testing room, she soon returned with Mark.
Lucius gestured slightly as Mark nodded.
Walking into a separate room, Lucius sat down on a chair and closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry young master. I wasn't able to help you since the association was being watched." Mark said as he kneeled down.
"No worries. I was able to kill them in the end." Lucius replied as he sat up.
"That being said. How's the tasks I gave you?"
"I'm afraid I have little to no progress. The traitors hide their tracks extremely well." Mark reported.
"Hmm…"
Lucius narrowed his eyes as the faction was slowly being overtaken by traitors. Even though he was the young master, his level was only 50, he couldn't stand up to those old monsters just yet.
"Keep trying to find them. In the mean time, try to get a few good seedlings in the faction recruitment. Having a few new bloods under my control will help against the traitors."
"Understood." Mark nodded.
*AHHH!!!!
The two paused when they suddenly heard a scream coming from the main hall.
"Is there anything going on?" He asked.
"Not that I know of- … I think it might be one of the ranking matches." Mark said pausing when he remembered what a certain girl did to him. Just the thought made him pucker his anus.
"Oh? Is the ranking match that brutal?" Lucius asked with curiosity.
For a match to be brutal, it'll have to cause a huge amount of damage in one hit before the system sends them out.
For someone to be able to make the spectators cry out like that means they have quite the potentials.
"Its…brutal in its own sense." Mark said after a pause.
Lucius's interest was peak further as it turned on the TV and tuned into the fight.
"Young master I don't think you should w-…" Mark's warning was a little too late as they saw Shiro pierce the ass of the person who's ranked 18th on the list.
Lucius's face darkened slightly as he saw how she aimed at the ass of the enemies.
"Actually… isn't she…" He muttered finding her a little familiar.
'Wait isn't she the little girl who caused me to waste time!' He thought when he saw her face.
"Mark. I want you to give me all the information you have on her." He said with narrowed eyes.
"Here, I was attending to her not too long ago so I have her information on me." Mark said handing him the ID copy.
"Hmm… aged 13 and level 30 huh? Interesting." He smiled.
"Try recruit her into our group when the faction recruitment starts." Lucius smiled.
"I'll try." Mark nodded.
Dismissing mark, Lucius sat on the sat with a smile as he watched her fight.
'How vulgar… yet oddly effective. We humans have little to no protection on our rear, making it a prime weak point. There is a natural entry there to destroy your internals after all. We can protect our eyes, our mouths and other points in front of us. But one would almost never protect their ass.' Lucius thought.
It was an interesting weakness that Shiro had shown him. It maybe vulgar, it maybe shameless, but it was effective. Male, female, monster, everyone had the weakness par from some.
With such a spot available, if would be dumb not to attack it.
'The only factor restraining this would be embarrassment. Her face would be awfully thick if she isn't embarrassed by this. Perhaps I should consider this weakness as well.' He thought with a smile.
His eyes glowed with interest as he continued to read her records.
Tapping his fingers, a shadow version on him rose up as it bowed.
"Keep an eye on her. I want to see if she's hiding anything else."
The shadow faded into the cracks of the wall as he continued to watch.
It was during the 4th match did he frown.
"Those movements… why do they seem similar to the martial arts of the founder." He muttered.
The founder of the faction he was in, Shadow Palace, used a special set of martial arts that was lost through time. The Martial arts while only a fragment of the original, allowed her to propel the Shadow Palace up the ranks of the factions out in the world.
The martial arts focused on ghost like movements and was purely a movement type martial art.
It was with this that the founder was titled Ghost.
However, he was witnessing Shiro perform a similar set of movements that fit with the description of the founder's martial art.
Standing up from his chair, he decided to have a little talk with her when she comes out of the simulation.

Killing her opponent that was ranked 12th on the list, Shiro flicked her wrist as the ice spear dissembled.
The stands were filled with spectators as it wasn't every day that you see a challenger fly through the ranks.
Especially one that won with such an… interesting tactic.
"You think there's something wrong with her?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean she's always going for the ass, right? She's also killing them one by one. Doesn't she know she could fight the top 10?"
"You mean to say she's setting an example?"
"Perhaps. Either that or do you think she has a thing for.. you know."
"… is she a sadist?"
"Why else do you think she's fighting them one by one."
"Oh god! Imagine if she fought like this in real life."
"… don't. This world is cursed enough as it is!"
"You can't deny it though!"
"I suppose you're right."
"When she gets into top 10, do you think she'll get a title as well? Would they even allow it though."
"Hmm, true. Titles are based on combat habits. With a habit like her's, what do you think she could be called?"
"Erm… Ass Busting Queen?"
"…"
"…"
"How about… Anus Annihilator?"
"Doesn't feel right."
"Anus Destroyer Shiro?"
"Hmm perhaps."
"Anus Destroying Empress."
"You know she's 13 right? It says her on her Mages ID."
"Anus Destroying Princess?"
"That. Let's go with that."
"Anus Destroying Princess… I like that. Has a nice yet evil ring to it."
"Doesn't it fit her well though? Look at her. She's so pretty at a young age but her tendencies are a little. Ahem."

Tapping on the button for rank 11, Shiro saw that it was forfeited the moment she challenged him.
'Is he afraid?' Shiro thought as she did fight her way through the ranks easily.
Tapping rank 10, she was happy that he accepted.
Rank 10 was called Shane. He was a mage that also focused on the ice element.
As her vision shifted, she saw her opponent.
He had a large robe that covered his body and face, leaving only his eyes out.
His body build was slightly on the small side as he didn't have a weapon on him.
"You! Why do you keep stabbing at the ass of the mages." He shouted out as he glared at her.
Shiro didn't reply as it was a waste of time.
She only smiled provocatively as she taunted him.
This caused him to frown as a magic circle wrapped around his arm.
Before he could set out his area of control, Shiro was way ahead of him as she slammed her palms down and froze the area.
Crouching low, she made a spear as she dashed towards him.
Stabbing the spear into the ground, she pivoted on her feet as she slid around and behind him.
She was about to stab her spear at him when she quickly shifted her weight and flipped away from him.
Landing on the ice, she slid back for a moment before she stabilised herself.
Shane had a chunk of ice encasing his rear as there were ice spikes shooting out of it.
If she had stayed there, it may have injured her.
Shane only smiled seeing he saw his plan work.
Before he could even talk, he saw Shiro with a bland expression as she flicked her wrist.
*BOOMMMM!!!!!!
When she flipped away, she had set down a trap for him.
If a small spear didn't work then she just needed a larger one.
From below his feet, a giant ice pillar shot upwards as it completely obliterated his chunk of ice that protected his rear.
With a single move, his body was split in two as his corpse launched high into the air.
The crowd was shocked as not even protecting your rear with magic could protect your anus.
Seeing that she reached top 10 in terms of ranking, Shiro decided to stop as there had been enough victims for today.
Exiting the capsule, Shiro stretched her body as she picked Yin up.
'Hm? Where's the branch master?' Shiro thought as she looked around.
Exiting out of the room, Shiro looked around and saw Mark walking together with another man.
'Wait isn't he that dipsh*t who handled me roughly last time.' Shiro thought with narrowed eyes.
Walking up to them, Shiro tapped away at her phone.
[Mark, I've reached top 10. I do believe I'm entitled to my 30 Ice Cores now.]
"Ah erm this…" Mark muttered feeling a little pinch. Not only that, but his young master was here right now.
"It's fine. Give her the 30 Ice Cores." Lucius said with a smile.
This caused Shiro to narrow her eyes as she wondered about their relationship.
[Thanks. My address should be on my ID profile. Just send it there.]
"Hang on. I have a question for you." Lucius asked.
[What?]
"Where did you learn your martial arts?"
Shiro frowned hearing the question.
[None of your business. And also, next time remember to handle girls with care.]
Shiro walked away as Lucius only chuckled.
"Handle with care huh? Her methods aren't exactly the most careful are they?" Lucius muttered.
"You know each other young master?"
"She wasted my time during my pursuit. The old geezers almost caught up to me because of her."
"Should I go and end her?" Mark asked with a frown.
"Leave it. I want to recruit her. No need to kill an upcoming talent." Lucius shook his head.
What he doesn't understand are the people who kill what they can't get. Humanity as a whole is only a small part of this world now. Satellites didn't work as they wished so they couldn't scout out the vast world. They tried to send rockets but they would get destroyed by flying-type monsters.
With them forced to abide by foreign rules, they needed every talent possible. Even if they aren't part of the team, they're still part of humanity.
All so that humanity can survive in this strange world.
"Give her the cores and support her growth. We need talents like her. Not to mention, she was able to almost freeze me when she was 25 levels below me."
"What?!" Mark was surprised.
He knew that the higher level disparity was between two people, the harder it was to affect the higher level. Yet, for him to still be almost frozen by someone 25 levels below him, tells one volumes of Shiro's strength.
Meanwhile, Shiro who was exiting the building was looked at with gazes of fear.
Some were holding their rears as they shivered feeling her gaze on them.
"Little Yin, do you think I should have fought a few more people?" Shiro asked.
Yin only chirped as she had seen too much today.
Licking her lips slightly, Shiro narrowed her eyes and looked for anyone unaffected.
This caused the adventurers to shiver in fear as they planned to get the best blacksmith in the city to make them an ass plate.
One strong enough to protect against anal penetration.
Shrugging slightly, she decided to let them off and head home first. She still had her gift of armour and outfit ready for Lyrica.
