Chapter 9 - Chapter 8

"THAT'S PAY BACK B*TCH" Jaspher shouted, as if he was a different person.

Everyone was shocked, and hyped up, as they smiled.

But the joy was short lived.

"RAAAGGGHH" The akuma got back on it's feet, as it roared violently.

"No... SH*T" Jaspher said, "what Yuji threw to me was a glove for an A class, I was able to use it once, but I feel like my arm is dislocated right now, I won't be able to use it again..."

Earlier before calling out Ryan,

On Yuji's POV.

Yuji found two specialized weapons from the corpses of the students. He put the pistol on his pocket and grabbed the glove with the thought of giving it to Ryan, but as he got out of the building, he noticed Jaspher moved a bit and being completely conscious.

Yuji thought of a possible scenario and threw a syringe containing an amplifier, with the Specialized weapon.

Jaspher looked at Yuji, while Yuji had his pointing finger in front of his lips saying "shush.".

Going back.

"Crap, that wasn't enough!?" Jaspher said, as he was shaking in pain and fear.

Everyone's face was filled with despair as they were at a loss of what to do, except.

"So that wasn't enough huh" Yuji said as he chuckled a bit, not having any worry on his face.

"It's all up to you now!" Yuji shouted.

Suddenly, a blonde female Student suddenly came out of the buildings window.

Being surrounded by electricity, she dashed forward running past everyone.

Everyone stood astounded by the appearance of the blonde female student.

"A blonde haired girl who can produce electricity from her body...THAT'S!" Ryan thought, and so does everyone else.

"Finish it Erina!" Yuji shouted.

"You got it!" Said Erina as she pulls out her knife.

Erina dashed quickly towards the akuma. The akuma notices her presence as something dangerous. The akuma focused its attention on Erina as it quickly dashed with an incomplete form, resulting to a dash not as fast as the ones before. Thanks to Erinas ability making part of her brain faster, she can have ultra fast reflexes on several situations.

Erina jumped over the akuma, crossing paths with it.

The akuma drifted its feet back to facing Erina.

As the akuma quickly recovered from it's incomplete dash, the knife Erina was carrying were already inches away from the akumas thick neck.

The knife was surrounded by electricity and was glowing bright red.

Erina slashed the akumas thick neck smoothly and easily, decapitating the akuma, as the akumas head drops on the ground, followed by it's large body, covering the head.

And so the akuma was dead.

Everyone was speechless, as they were astounded by how Erina easily taken down the akuma that was giving them a hard time.

"She finished it just like that..." Layla said smiling, as she was filled with goosebumps, "She's scary!".

Erina turned around and faced everyone.

She took a deep breath and said, "good job everyone!, for surviving!" She said with a wink and a big smile on her face.

"She can act cute like that after killing something that gave us a hard time so easily" said Ryan, "women are scary...".

Everyone wasn't so sure how to react, all everyone did was smile.

"It's finally over..." Said Jaspher in weak faint voice.

Erina heard, and looked at Jaspher.

"WOAH!" Erina shouted in a high pitched voice, being really shocked, "Are you ok!?".

"Yeah, surprisingly...im holding out just fine" Jaspher said, while holding his broken left arm as blood drips from his head.

"He's definitely NOT fine!" Erina thought,  "why did I even ask? I'm so stupid!".

"I got this!" said Elizabeth,as she ran towards Jaspher, "My class might be D but my ability isn't as weak," she said, being confident on her ability, she smiled.

"She seems confident..." Erina thought, then she said "I'll be leaving him to you then.".

"Now then..." Erina said as she looked at Yuji, she placed both of her hands behind her back, as she walked towards Yuji.

She kept walking until she was really close to Yuji, then suddenly.

"You, came..." Erina said as she hugged Yuji,  she tiptoed, placing her head above Yujis shoulders, pressing her chest on his, as she wrapped her arms around his neck, she whispered "I'm...so glad you came, i'm... so, so glad your ok!" she said in a teary voice as a single tear dripped from her eye.

Ryan and Layla were struck silent as they stared at Erina and Yuji.

"They, really are friends..." said Ryan.

"And they seem to be really close than just friends" said Layla.

Yuji placed his hands on the back of Erinas shoulder, and said "I'm surprised I'm alive myself" said Yuji, in a laughing tone.

"Well Yuji..." said Erina, as they both let go of each other, "You're...".

"Your A LOT stronger than what everyone thinks!" she said as she smiled so beautifully, looking directly at each others eyes.

Yuji had mixed feelings, and was completely speechless, as he just smiled back at Erina.

That was the moment they all felt at ease, after going through Experiences that most likely took a great impact on them, they felt that it was going to go smoothly from now on.

"So!" Erina said as she looked back at Ryan and Layla, "these people are?".

"Oh yeah!" said Yuji, as he called Layla and Ryan who was standing behind them.

Layla and Ryan glanced a bit as they pretend that they weren't staring, as they approached each other.

"My name is Layla, nice to meet you" she said with a smile.

"My... my name is Ryan, N...nice to meet you!" he said in a nervous tone as he choked on some of his words.

"Huh? why are you acting so weird?" said Yuji, "You were like a boss since a few minutes ago, did you hit your head?"

"SHUT UP" Ryan said in an embarrassed manner, "it's just a great honor to be able to talk to Ms. Erina, and this is actually the first time I've seen her up close...".

"Ahehehe" Erina laughed awkwardly, not sure how to respond, "It's a pleasure to meet you too" "after all you helped Yuji get here, and for that I'm grateful" she said as she bowed her head towards them.

"No! Yuji was a very big help to us, I think we should be thanking him!" said Layla.

"Oh? and how did this person with no ability managed to help you?" said Erina with a slight smug on her face.

"I don't know how to put it but..." Elizabeth said as she approached beside them, along with Jaspher.

Yuji looked at Jaspher, and thought,  "wow, he's completely recovered, Elizabeth's ability sure is something...".

"all I can say is that, he... was strong..." Elizabeth said, "I don't know how else to put it, he was just really helpful not just physically... but also mentally..." Elizabeth said, in a nervous tone, choking on some of her words.

Erina quickly approached Elizabeth and grabbed both of her hands, as she lifts them up and hold them tight.

"Don't worry, I know exactly what you mean!" Erina said with a big smile on her face.

Elizabeth knodded, "I'm starting to wonder why people actually call him a weakling...".

As she said that, Erina's face became even brighter as Erina starts to shake her hands.

"I KNOW, RIGHT!?, It's pretty stupid, right!? said Erina.

"Erina stop..." said Yuji, in a bashfull manner "It's... getting embarrassing".

"Your acting weird, did you hurt your head or something?" Ryan said.

"Shut up..." Yuji replied.

they both smiled.

It was as if everything was normal, Having each other like that made them feel like nothing could go wrong beyond this point.

Or so they thought.

"Looks like you kids are having a nice moment there" a female's voice suddenly came from the inside of the building along with multiple footsteps, as  a lady came out of the building door.

"Sorry to interrupt, but you do know that your school is currently not in a good state, right?"

The woman was wearing a dark grey uniform, along with a green beret with a red X mark, on her head.

"That uniform, that symbol... that's!" Said Ryan.

"THE MILITARY!" said Layla.
