"The same as that night?" Luka immediately hurried over to Ana and Liz.
When Luka got there, Ana and Liz were waiting for him. They explained the situation to Luka and thought of a plan to defeat them.
"They should be at least rank C, if not rank b monsters," Ana reported.
"But Can we defeat rank C… or B monsters on our own? Shouldn't we call for a backup?" Liz inquired.
"Even if we call for a backup now, it will take time to arrive. What if the monsters attack the city?"
"That's…" Liz couldn't say anything. Saving the citizens was their top priority right now.
Meanwhile, Luka was pondering on what he should do. Not recently had he defeated the same type of monster alone, but he was cautious right now; because Ana and Liz were with him.
"Okay then, I will take one," Luka pointed his finger to the other monster and said, "And Ana, you and Liz will take the other one."
"But--"
"No buts, I can do it" As expected, Ana tried to stop him, but Luka assured her that he would be okay.
When they were kids, Ana never let Luka do anything. Ana was overly worried because Luka couldn't use magic. Due to that, Luka developed a complex, and so did Ana. After years when the distance and their relationship slowly crumbled, that complex crumbled with it. Now they had a chance to restart everything again. And Ana knew what she had to do to not repeat the same mistakes she did when they were kids.
Luka slowly walked to the monster, and Ana and Liz walked to the other.
'I already have defeated it once, so I can do it this time too….!' as Luka walked closer to the monster, he finally realized that the size of the monster was nothing compared to the monster he fought before. 'is it just me or are they a lot bigger?'.
It was almost three times bigger. But that didn't stop Luka. He took out his sword and said, "Well then, start attacking with your filthy tentacles, so I can cut them."
Liz and Ana had already started fighting the other monster.
'It's okay. I just have to slash them and keep slashing until they decrease to nothing' The monster grew more tentacles and launched them against Luka.
Luka swiftly dodged and cut all of them. He was swinging his sword after every dodge, cleaving all the tentacles.
The monster then started merging its eyes, and its body started demerging.
'Gross'
The eyes that had merged earlier demerged and the body of the monster split apart.
"Gross," Luka.
"So gross," Ana.
"Super gross," Liz.
Luka looked at Ana and Liz, and they were in the same situation. The monster's bodies split apart and turned into 80 monsters.
Their size was small, but the numbers were much more now.
"They have a small body; it will be easy." Ana turned and Liz and said, "Liz, do a lightning attack, and I will do a wind attack."
"Okay."
Both Ana and Liz started firing their elemental power. The monster's numbers were constantly decreasing.
"I don't have any elemental power," Luka muttered.
Luka started running and slashing them down, but that had no effect on the monsters.
"Slash. Slash. Slaaaash!" He was directly attacking them on their eyes. He kept doing that and took down 20 monsters.
"Looks like you are having a hard time, Luka," Ana commented.
"Ana."
Ana and Liz have defeated 40 monsters. Luka being a magicless boy, defeated 20 of them, which was great.
Ana was genuinely happy seeing Luka having fun. When they were kids, Luka was always afraid of monsters and impurities, and always ran away from them, but not anymore. He knew that if he wants to become a great Exorcist, he needs to get stronger, even without any magic.
"Well…then..." Luka was panting. "Then defeat them for me."
"Roger that," both Ana and Liz said in unison and started firing their elemental attacks.
Meanwhile, Luka was slashing them down, and they defeated all of them in a matter of seconds.
"Yay, we did it," Liz rejoiced.
"Yeah," Luka was still catching his breaths.
"Nice, Luka" Ana closed her distance from Luka.
"Yeah"
At least they are not ignoring me now' Luka was happy that he could help Ana and Liz, and didn't drag them down. But he was more happy knowing that he wasn't getting ignored by them anymore.
"I am hungry," Ana groaned.
"You are right, Ana. How about we stop by at the café?" Liz suggested.
"Nice idea."
Luka sighed and turned around, saying, "I will be going home."
"Why?" Liz asked.
"Luka?" Ana called.
Luka looked back at them. "What?"
"You don't want to come with us?"
"Can I?" Luka asked with a resolute expression on his face. They went on many missions, and after most of the missions, Ana and Liz went to the cafe, but they sent Luka home because of his headache. But today, they were trying to take Luka with them.
Ana and Liz glanced at each other as they said, "Of course."
"Let's go then,' Luka rushed to them, but suddenly stopped. "Hmm?"
"What's wrong, Luka?" Ana asked worriedly.
"No...I just felt like something went inside me," He walked further. "it was probably my imagina--"
Before he could say anything, Ana and Liz pushed him down and unbuttoned his blazer and shirt.
"What are you doing?" Luka was confused.
"Shut up!" They both said in unison.
"Hmm," They traced their fingers along his chest and carefully observed for any signs of infections with sharp gazes. "There is no infection."
"Obviously, there isn't!" Luka retorted. "Now, let go and get off me."
They both stood up and averted their faces.
Luka buttoned up his shirt as he said, "Seriously, if someone were to see this, they would surely think you both are some kind of perverts!"
He looked at them and sighed. "Why are your faces red now? You are the one who did this! I am the one who should be embarrassed here."
