Tachibana and Katashi noticed they are still standing on their location, they haven't moved even a single step, not even Katashi was able with the light speed to get to San, "Don't bother trying, every threat against me will automatically change the reality to my favour so stay there calmly".
Tachibana- "Stay here calmly do we even have a choice?", Tachibana sat and told Katashi, "Just sit...".
"Ok".
...
Kwen was trying to choke the unknown man, when Kwen was about to finish him, "Come on man Fight back, do something don't bore me...", he continued loudly, "...Entertain me".
The unknown man had no response, he was dead, "I guess that was all that he could offer", Said Meer.
Then Katashi stated, "If you all were able to see just like do you would have known all along he is behind, headmaster".
"What?", As they look behind the Headmaster, the unknown man was standing there, "Please call me Lived and not he anymore".
The Headmaster and his great students took their distance from him, he was full of surprises, "Why did my power not work on you?"
"Anything comes close, even if the mind thinks of attacking me, my power alters the reality to my favour, so how?"
"It is only natural don't you think? I have currently more energy than you and I knew about your abilities all along, so I just cancelled out your reality Manipulation..."
"...with my energy that has overwhelmed all of you".
The chill was on the Air, then Tachibana asked Katashi, "How did you see him?"
"Well as I looked through his face something wasn't right, so I tried to use my light speed and saw him moving slowly behind the Headmaster and there I realised this man send a clone to test them".
"Thanks for the clarification", "Your welcome"
.....
"I have what I have come for here, so I will take my leave now"
They were stunned did he say he got what he came here for, as they looked at him, they saw San in his arm, Surprised.
When they looked at the Oldman, they saw a plank of wood in his hand, Peer got angry and crushed the Wood in his arms.
Lived was looking at them and jumped without looking behind, he took San with him, Tachibana and Katashi followed after.
"See ya..."
Meer looked at the Headmaster for an answer or order, "Master?", he pointed towards him and Meer ordered, "After him...", Zhyan, Dang and Kwen went with Meer after Lived.
"What is this fate?"
"If only we hadn't made the binding with the king, we would have our 100% power now but if we hadn't then we wouldn't have been here at all", Sighs, Peer jumps too, he heads after them.
...
Clarification: if someone wants to cancel out someone else's power, they cannot just casually do it because they have more energy.
They must have a strong will that they are greater than their opponents and besides the Spiritual Energy, the natural Energy helps here too.
***
Lived headed to a nearby forest, he jumped from tree to tree, then he saw something bypass him a glowing light.
As he went further he saw the two swordsmen, Tachibana and Katashi, "You are kinda fast but I am faster".
Lived- "You will wish to have my speed because even in dreams you won't gain it".
"Oh really", Tachibana generated a force of the strong wind, at Lived, destroying hundreds of woods, Lived got behind a save big tree fast, As he put down San Katashi was there, Eh.
"Thought you said you were faster", Katashi kicked him and tried to kill San, a dark orb was automatically generated around him, protecting him from death.
Lived was indeed faster than Katashi because he vanished as Katashi was looking for him, he didn't even know he was already behind him.
Lived put the blade on his neck and said, "I wanna avoid killing if possible, so either leave me or join your comrades in hell".
"You are indeed fast, old man, what skill do you use?"
Lived- "...".
Tachibana came at Lived holding to Swords both were windswrods, as he Swung Lived vanished and appeared behind him.
[KICKED TACHIBANA REAL HARD AND SEND HIM FLYING WITH KATASHI AT KWEN]
"Huh, what the hell is that coming", Kwen saw the smiling face of Tachibana coming at him, they both fell on Kwen.
Meer ignored him and as the headmaster come he stated, "Master he is here, close", "Hmm...", Peer and the three masters left to find Lived.
...
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Why don't you live since we have forgotten about you and leave us alone".
"Just get off you heavy pigs..."
"Sorry for being fat".
...
Peer and his student got to Lived, they saw that he was holding San on his shoulder and in the middle of trees.
Behind Meer, a giant skeleton hand appeared and tried to take San, as the hand got closer, Lived Released darkness around himself cracking the hand-skeleton.
As Tachibana, Katashi and Kwen got there too, they saw a gate open behind Lived, he slowly approach it, "I am leaving now, I won't bother you again so don't you either".
The Headmaster standing, he released all his energy, since he hadn't fought much like the rest behind him, so he easily dominated and made them on their knees.
However it didn't work on Lived, Lived had more Energy, "Do you think you will get out of here alive, who the hell do you think you are?".
Lived snapped and turned around to tell Peer, "That's where you are wrong, I am gonna take the child and you can't do anything about it".
Through the snap, Lived created invincible barriers of darkness that would protect from the Headmaster Peer, "I am sure you know the darkness around me counters all the physical, natural & spiritual attacks"
"If this was the past you would have obliterated me but now we live in the present and in the present you are powerless, maybe when your king comes back to life then we can have a fair fight".
The words were making Peer shame himself, then Lived holding San on his shoulder walked into the dark gate he created, his last words to Peer was, "See you soon, Pira Merd".
The Headmaster was surprised, that Lived knew his name and yet he does not know that man, which just left him powerlessly there.
As there was now no enemy to fight, Peer cancelled out his Energy and started to head home.
Tachibana- "You just let him go like that?"
"I know he did you dirty there but you just proved it by doing nothing".
Meer put the blade on his neck, the only reason he stopped was that Peer ordered, "Stop", Peer turned around and told Tachibana, "Soon the king will arise and I am pretty sure you are from the land of rising Sun"
"I will let you live but remember I am the one who will kill you".
"Let them go".
...
Tachibana and Katashi vanished from the scene heading back to their comrades.
...
The Headmaster there told his students, "Do not worry once the king gets back we will get our revenge, all this work won't go to waste".
"Let's go..."
They nodded and left the scene too.
