3/5
...
"Here is the golden light!"
"Hurry up! We will be the ones to catch them!"
"Don't let them escape!"
Bloed, Aya, and Liu Ying could hear the voices of the students quickly approaching them. It was obvious the nearest students had seen the light and immediately rushed towards their location.
In fact, through the dragonflies, Bloed could see many students stopping their battles and rushing towards them at once.
"That bothersome woman…" Bloed cursed the headmistress several times in his mind.
What in the hell did she have against them!?
"Bloed, what should we do? Should we escape again?" Liu Ying asked as she and Aya looked at Bloed anxiously.
Bloed sighed.
"There is no point in escaping. Anyway, the light will reveal our whereabouts again five minutes later."
"Then…"
"Yes, we will fight." Bloed's expression turned ice-cold. "The headmistress wants to see us fight, right? We will fight then. We will beat all her students until not even their mothers can recognize them!"
Liu Ying lips curved in a savage smile.
"Hehe, I like that~. Come on, let's teach them a lesson!"
"Liu Ying, you will be the vanguard. Aya, you will act as our scout and assassin. I will act as support and vanguard at the same time."
"Yes~!"
"Understood."
Just when they finished determining their roles, more than ten students arrived at the park.
"They are there!"
"It looks like we are the firsts!"
"Hahaha, the reward is ours!"
Liu Ying snorted when she saw the students rushing towards them. Without waiting for Bloed's instructions, she stomped the ground, leaving behind a one-meter-of-diameter crater and launching herself towards the students!
Her speed was so fast that when the students managed to notice her, she was already in front of them!
"Hah!" With a punch on the chest, Liu Ying flung the first student away, destroying his barrier in the spot and leaving him unconscious!
However, that was just the start. Without even confirming the fate of the first student, she spun her body around, unleashing a high kick on the face of a second student, followed by an axe kick on a third student and a sweeping kick on a fourth student.
The second and third students were knocked unconscious immediately! As for the fourth, he was greeted with a punch straight to his face just after the sweeping kick.
In just a few seconds, Liu Ying had defeated four of the students!
However, neither Bloed nor Aya found it strange. Liu Ying was a genius, a monster. She was at the top of B-Rank when it came to combat power, being comparable to some weaker A-Ranks.
To her, defeating a bunch of students that were at most C-Rank could not be easier!
Despite that, even she would have a bit of trouble defeating more than ten students by herself. After all, each student admitted to Academy City could be considered a genius to some degree. And though Liu Ying would not lose against them, she would have to use up a lot of her stamina.
And as expected, when the fourth student was knocked unconscious, the other students came to their senses and put on serious expressions.
"Be careful!"
"She is strong! Don't get careless!"
"I heard she is a B-Rank practitioner! Don't underestimate her!"
However, Liu Ying's attack caused them to forgot about Bloed and Aya.
That was a fatal mistake.
All of sudden, a shadow materialized behind one of the students as Aya used her dagger to slit his throat.
The attack destroyed the barrier immediately, knocking the student unconscious and activating the second barrier to indicate that the student had been eliminated.
Aya's eyes were indifferent. Without waiting for the student to fall on the ground, she faded into the shadows again, appearing behind a student that was planning to attack Liu Ying and stabbing his heart from his back!
Then, she twirled her second dagger and blocked an attack coming from her right, deflecting it and using it to reach the chest of a third student, stabbing her dagger on the location of his heart.
She then used the student as cover and disappeared into the shadows, moving unnoticed and appearing behind a fourth student, stabbing her two daggers on his waist and destroying his barrier.
Four students were knocked out!
But when Aya tried to attack the fifth student, she saw several energy bullets fleeing towards them, destroying their barriers and knocking them unconscious.
At the same time, Liu Ying punched the belly of another student, knocking him unconscious as well.
Just like that, all the students that had attacked them were defeated!
Just at that instant, several more students arrived at the scene. But when they saw the students lying on the ground unconscious, they stopped abruptly.
Then, they looked at Bloed's group with nervous expressions.
"How weak…" Liu Ying look at them and shook her head. With just a glance, she could see that none of them was stronger than C-Rank.
That kind of opponent was not enough to worry her.
Behind her, Bloed smiled wryly.
He did not consider these students a threat either. In fact, Oculus's rain of bullets alone could take care of a good part of them.
… Although he could not use Oculus right now. He was forced to cut off his connection with it due to the battle.
After all, he could not fight while receiving information from tens of dragonflies at the same time.
Hence, he ordered the dragonflies to return and cut off its connection with them. He was going to connect it again when the dragonflies combine into Oculus again.
The students that just arrived stared at Bloed's group nervously. For several seconds, none of them dared to step forward.
But at that moment, a strong presence appeared.
All of sudden, a path opened between the students, revealing a B-Rank tigerkin young man with a fierce look.
"Finally, I found you. Bloed Norman, I defy you to a duel!"
But before he could end his words, the tigerkin's expression changed and his face turned stern.
Because at that moment, a wild and powerful fighting intent assaulted him.
"Bloed, I want him." Liu Ying said with an excited grin.
"As you wish, my love."
