We we're sent into an abandoned warehouse by a mission ordered by Merlin
"Let' just walk. We're smol after all" I said
"But-" cu gets cut off
"Arthur, crouch."
"Hehehe okay" I crouced
Aerin released a butst of negative enrgy to intimidate me. It worked
Well, anyway, girls are scary. But, I only listened to her sometime...
Arthur listens to her orders always when shes mad
We walked over to the warehouse door and tried to open it
"Wait" I said to the Cu who was opening the door
"Let me search the inside first"
I touched the wall of the warehouse and put a small amount of mana into it
"...!"
"What?" Asked Aerin
"There are 4 people in cages and 1 is most likely a kidnapper"
"I see...Cu you enter first"
"Umu"
Using fire magic I created a small hole in the wall
We snuck in
"...!whos there!" A man shouted
"Gah!" We jumped at different direction avoiding a fireball the man threw
The man opened up the lights and there it was a face I've seen many times while reading
Lower ranking general of the demon king army- the mad scientist: Frankwenie stein. He was infamously know for creating drugs to buff up the soldiers and creating chimeras to fight the human coalition with the leftover body parts of both human and demon
He had metal claws on his hand
"Weniebutt!" I shouted his infamously hilarous nickname known throughout all generation
"You braaaaat!" He shouted pissed
"Hyah!" He threw bottles of potions towards me
"Cu!"
"Umu"
Cu came from the left Holding the spear Cu thrusted towards the chest
"Tsk!"
Cu's weapons we're caught and then they we're thrown
"Guh"
Aerin and me caught him
"I'll support from the back. Trust me with your VEry being and I shall bring promised victory"
I whisper to Cu and using sound magic I transmitted the same words to Aerin
""Umu!""
They stepped forward holding their weapons, I stayed back.
I created thread using magic. They we're not strong enough to cut things instead they we're used for support.
I wrapped the thread on Cu body feet and arms
"Get ready" I transmitted with voice magic to Cu
"Umu!—"
I pulled him forward
Using the magic tool Merlin gave me. A ring that had spatial magic attribute with it
I opened a portal and had him pass through. I create more portals and let him pass through adding speed and creating a barrier to make him stay at the center. I also did the same with Aerin
I opened a portal. Cu came out and with speed that nearly breaks the sound barrier he thrust his spear into Frankweenies gut
"Guh!" He was stabbed
Frankwenie put his hand on his gut to stop the bleeding. He looked at me then grinned
"Hehehehehehe" he laughed menacingly
He jumped straight towards me
Damn!. I thought
I couldn't think straight, anxiety was getting to me
"Arthur!" The two shouted
I came back to my senses
It was too late
His claws was near my face
"Wha!?" Frankweenie was in a dismay
My head was leaning to the left dodging the singular sharp strike that he unleased to my eye
Because I was controlling the speed of 2 people with my threads I couldn't unleased an attack so, I opted for the best move. The finishing move
I opened 10 portals near him and 2 out of those 10 portals came out Cu, And Aerin. They stabbed Frankwenie in the chest and head.
Frankwenie cough up blood onto my face. I stopped controlling the thread and then wiped my face clean. They removed their weapons from his body and his dying words we're "Coward"
We sat on the floor after killing Frankwenie
"Haah haaah haaah" we breath a sigh of relief and start getting our breath back. The mental capacity and physical capacity that we used was at our highest. We felt that with one wrong move we would be dead
I stood up and checked the cages
"Hmm? A panda?"
I removed the cloth covering one of them
"Who are you?" It said. By the looks of it it was older than me by 5 years
"My names, Arthur. Wht about you?" I asked
"Panda"
"How are you talking?" I asked
"I was an experiment by Frankweenie alongside the others"
"Others?"
"Yes, the others in the cage"
"I see, well do you guys have a home?"
"No, not any longer"
"Hmmm, then wanna come with me?"
"Let me think about it"
"Okay"
I broke the lock on the cage and opened the cage
I walk over to the other cage and remove the cloth
Inside the cage was a boy with white hair and a gem embedded on his chest. He looks the same age as me
"You, what's your name?"
"Karna...uhm I heard you would give us a home if we come with you"
"Uh-huh"
"T-then pls let me join you"
"Okay"
I broke the cage lock open
I walked over to the last cage. I removed the cover
I saw a red haired boy. He was thin and near lifeless. He was on the floor all bones
"You, what's your name?"
"R-reinhardt"
"Hey, do you want to live? Do you want to survive?"
"Y-yes"
"I see, then come with me and I'll show you how to live"
I gave my hand to him
He looked at me and then looked at my hand
He took my hand
I opened the cage and lifted him out with air magic
I landed him near the others instructing them to take care of him
I went and checked the last cage
"Are you a fairy?"
I ask to the boy tht looked the same age as me, he was thin
"Yes"
"Anyway yada yada come me"
"Do I get food?"
"Yep"
"I see then sure...my names,Harliqueen"
"Okay"
.
"So they are my new friends,Merlin"
I was sitting on the couch facing Merlin telling him what just happened. The other 3 we're being delt with by Cu
"Well, okay. I never thought that you would face someone of that caliber but, good heavens it was someone who doesn't neccesarily fight instead it was someone who was a shut in and only gave orders"
I started trembling and dripping with sweat I said
"Weak? That was weak?"
"Yeah, your parents dealth with stronger ones"
I asked what rank would he be put at and he answered with he would be a C+
.
Merlin decided that
Panda would focus on CQC
Reinhardt would focus on getting his body back to normal then he'd start training with the sword
And karna would focus on the spear and fire magic and
Harliqueen would focus on magic
