Exiting the car, Iris looked at Alice before she said, "Want to guess which fools, presumably decided to come to follow us?"
Alice put on her 'Thinking' face, and after a few seconds, she suddenly said, "Hmm. Well, it shouldn't be any mages family because they know better, thus eliminating them. So, it must be a bunch of regular humans, which unfortunately picked the wrong target."
Iris grinned, and replied, "Well, I'm sure the answer will arrive soon, as you can see they are pulling right in front of us any second now."
And right after saying that, precisely as Iris predicted a black Range-rover parked right in front of Iris and Alice, presumably to block their escape unknowingly trapping themselves in against a vicious Iris, which has already ended the lives of mages with supernatural abilities, nevermind a few regular individuals like them.
Maybe if they knew this fact, they would probably be running away in fright, instead of condemning themselves to death, by basically presenting themselves to be killed.
The door of the Rangerover opened, and from what Iris could gather a bunch of hoodlums exited the vehicle, with the addition of three familiar faces.
Seeing them a knowing look across both Iris's and Alice's face as Alice even said commented to Iris, "So they are the culprits, after all, no wonder my guards didn't deal with them, it would simply be an embarrassment to do such a thing."
After knowing the individuals behind following them, Alice shouted, "Hey! Why are you following us for anyway? Haven't I already said directly to your faces of our relationship status!"
Witnessing Alice behaving in such a way, the hoodlums had a shocked expression, as previously they thought both girls would be shaking from fear upon seeing six men trapping them within a deserted alley devoid of any people.
But instead of the reaction they expected, they just saw Iris which is currently showing a bored expression, and Alice who is just looking at them with amusement as if this situation was all a game to her.
Angered at being looked down upon in a such a way the leader of the 'Persistent Trio' from earlier said, "Do you not know the current situation you are in? You don't know exactly who you offended, have you? Previously, I gave you the chance to come with us, but you two didn't listen, so this is the punishment for refusing me! But, don't worry I'll ensure your experience with us is great, after all, in the end, you may even end up begging for it."
With a lustful expression on his face, the Handsome Young Master from earlier stared at Iris full of burning desire, as if he couldn't wait until he got his hands on her.
Due, him being the heir of his Fathers business, he usually has gotten everything he wanted within his life, whether it is luxury items or woman.
However, the refusal of both Iris and Alice destroyed his pride, not to mention Iris being by far the most beautiful woman he saw, made him obviously reluctant to give her up.
Therefore, believing they only refused his 'Charms' as a result of being a couple, he thought he would use his Fathers connections to get a few gang members to assist him in kidnapping both girls so he can have Iris all for himself
Afterwards, he even believed that Iris would fall in love with him after a while, due to witnessing the pleasures of a man and seeing for herself how wealthy he is, she will stay obediently at his side like all the other woman.
Moreover, of course, he had to promise his friends and the hoodlums their share of the prize, by gifting them Alice to use between themselves.
But, from the hoodlum's expressions, it seemed that the Young Master wouldn't get his wish, as they stared at Iris a look full of desire, not looking as if they would give her up to the Young Master at all.
Putting his hand on the Young Masters shoulder, the Leader of the Hoodlums said, "You didn't tell us how beautiful the girl you wanted is, kid, so a change of plans, we will be having a turn with both girls, and don't think of threatening us with your Father's name, as we have gathered much dirt on him over the years, all we have to do is release it online and your entire family will be ruined, so just obediently wait until we finish, alright?"
Upon, hearing the leader of the Hoodlum clear violate their promise, an ugly expression appeared on his face as he said, "This wasn't what you promised me! You said that just wanted the friend, and not her!"
An intimidating look appeared on the Hoodlums face, as he tightened his grip on the Young Master's shoulder, making him gasp painfully he said, "Do you think I care for your opinion? Your just some spoilt rich kid, who thinks just because he has his Daddy around he can do whatever he wants. Well, kid, this isn't up for an argument, and you have no say within this matter at all, so just stand there silently, or I won't be lenient. Even your Daddy cannot protect you from us, alright?"
The Young Master, who still had a reluctant look on his face as he stared at Iris's beautiful face, finally relented out of fear of actually being beaten up by the Hoodlums.
A face full of satisfaction of the Young Masters submission, the leading Hoodlum approached Iris beside the other two he said, "Alright, girlies, I'll give you two options. One, you can choose to resist, and in doing so, this will only be painful. But, if you be obedient, we'll promise to be gentle, alright?"
However, both Iris and Alice snorted at the leading Hoodlums comment, causing the leading Hoodlum to be confused, as for why both girls seem to be finding what is saying to be entertaining?
"You think this is funny?" The leading Hoodlum looked at Iris sinisterly, thinking that he should teach these two rich girls that this isn't some game.
But, both Alice and Iris seemingly ignored him as if he wasn't even standing in front of them, with the girls even starting a conversation acting utterly nonchalant about the whole thing.
"Hey, Alice, want me to take care of them similar to last time?" Iris said.
"Naa, I let you protect me last time right? Now, you can be the beautiful maiden saved by the hero, and afterwards, you'll even reward me right?" Alice said suggestively as she gave Iris a wink.
Iris rolled her eyes at Alice's antics and said, "Just deal with them already, I don't want to arrive back home later than the time my parents arranged for me. As even with having supernatural abilities, I'm still scared to death of my Mom when she is angry, so I cannot disappoint her alright?" Iris replied.
Alice huffed in annoyance at Iris not agreeing to her game, but the Hoodlums who saw such a scene in front of them starting laughing with one of them even saying, 'Do these two girls truly think they can take care of us?'
However, Alice ignored their reactions as she approached them, staring at them with a gaze full of killing intent.
The leading Hoodlum seeing that Alice is coming towards them, said, "Hey boys, look like one of them is finally ready for us! She is so eager for us that she couldn't wait any longer!"
One of the Hoodlums walked towards Alice with a lewd expression on his face but just as he was about to touch her, a ball of flame hit him square in the chest, igniting him on fire making the Hoodlum wailed in agony, as he desperately tried to put out the flames covering his body, however, this ended up a fruitless endeavour as he collapsed on the ground lifeless, his screams finally ending.
Upon witnessing such a scene, the other two Hoodlums has a dumbfounded look in their face, wondering how did he just suddenly lit up on fire?
Looking suspiciously at Alice, they thought, surely it couldn't be her right?
Yet, this was quickly answered as two spheres made of flames appeared within Alice's hands as she stared at the two Hoodlums before she said, "Ready to die?"
The two hoodlums stared in terror at the mystical scene in front of them, without a second thought both ran away in fright.
But, would this allow them to escape their fate?
A wall of fire emerged in front of the two Hoodlums, completely stopping them in their tracks and before they could change direction to escape two spheres of fire hit both of them squarely in the face, both of the men faces were scorched instantly as the entirety of their face melted under the intense flames before they fell over dead.
Alice unaffected by the deaths of the three men approached the Young Master and his friends, the three instigators of this entire incident!
Witnessing the horrifying scene before them, the Young Master dropped to his knees before he begged, "Please, you two must be devils or something right? Spare me, and I promise I'll be a good person from now on and won't dare to commit any more sins!"
It seemed the Young Master became hysterical witnessing such a sight, thus he ended up deeming both Alice and Iris as devils depicted in Religion, both being two individuals who 'Punish' those who committed sins.
But, the reality was vastly different, and Alice just laughed at him, saying, "Did you think of sparing us, two young teenage girls when you arrived here with those hoodlums? Did you think of how you would ruin the rest of our lives if we were normal teenage girls who couldn't resist you? No? You didn't think of that, did you? You deserve no mercy, neither the three of you did since the moment the intentions on what you were planning to do with us appeared within your mind."
Before the Young Master could reply, Alice has already acted out, incinerating the bodies of the three men as they burnt so quickly, after a mere minute all that remained of the three men were just piles of dust.
Getting rid of the troublesome individuals who followed them, Alice turned around and approached Iris.
Iris upon witnessing the deed was done and was about to make a joke on the length of time she taken to get rid of them in comparison to her, was picked up by Alice before she swung her around and planted a big kiss on her lips.
Iris instantly blushed a deep shade of red as she pushed Alice away from her before she said, "Hey, why did you do that for? You have no more excuses by saying 'It was just a way to get rid of the men' now!"
A grin of amusement appeared on Alice's face before she said, "Why do you think I did it? I just enjoy seeing that cute look on your face, with you looking as if you want to run away in the opposite direction. Now, let's go I'll call my bodyguards to take care of the Rangerover, I'm sure they'll remove all traces of these men also."
Standing there for a moment, Iris recovered from her previous embarrassment and followed Alice into the car.
Thirty minutes later, both the Rangerover and the evidence of men even being present at the scene, is completely erased.
Moreover, Alice dropped Iris back to the similar spot she picked her up before.
Before saying goodbye to Alice, Iris began the remainder of her walk home as her thoughts drew back to the sight of Alice fighting those men, although those were regular men, she couldn't help but admit being a mage was awesome.
Due to her not having a teacher, which could inform her of the fundamentals of being a mage are, she was utterly clueless about many things regarding magic, not to mention she hardly had any spells within her possession which could be used similarly to the one Alice demonstrated.
And the few spells she had, were very costly or didn't have any combat power, therefore witnessing Alice fighting those men has lit up a determination which wasn't present before in Iris, making her fully resolute in attending the Mages school with her no longer hesitating at all with her next decision!
