I launched myself towards Yae with a powerful kick, but she swiftly avoided my attack then swung her scythe at me. I blocked the attack and grunted. I slid back a bit then stumbled backwards. I got back in my stance and my eyes shined.
"You're not gonna get anywhere with attacks like that. You are pretty fast, but your attack patterns are very predicable. You need to switch up the way you attack and work on defense. Switch your approach and strike when it's least expected because as you are now, you'll never be able to take down Yumi." Yae said.
"Switch up my approach huh...I have a few ideas." I said then smiled.
Yae twirled her scythe then got in her stance. "Then show me."
I looked at my legs then lightning began to surge around my legs. 'If I concentrate my lightning to my legs...I could move faster than ever before. I would be able to outspeed Yae..'
Orika watched from the roof and looked at me in awe. Iori closed her book, sensing my energy as well then got up to watch my sparring match against Yae.
I dashed towards Yae in lightning speeds and appeared behind her. Yae looked surprised then turned around and was hit with a powerful lightning infused kick.
"Lightning Flash!" I bellowed and sent Yae flying.
"Whoa..! That was one of her most powerful attacks that I've seen.." Orika said in awe.
'That move was impressive...caught me off guard since her speed improved by 10%. It isn't much but it's enough to outspeed me...Although it was impressive, I'm not going to just let Hisumi get an easy win..' Yae thought to herself.
Yae's black angel wings appeared on her back then she gracefully floated down to the ground. "Impressive..~ For a B Rank Valkyria, you surely are strong. I can see in no time you'll be able to strike down Yumi with ease."
I nodded and smiled at her then looked surprised when she vanished and appeared in front of me twirling.
"But I'm not gonna let you win easily." Yae said then kicked me away and a barrage of feather needles were being shot at me from her wings.
I landed on my feet then my eyes shined and I blocked all of them then dashed towards her. "I don't want an easy fight! I want to be pushed beyond my limits!"
I stood my own against the Ace of St. Fraskia, against the leader of Squad VI of the St. Fraskia Assembly, against Morata and Kioshi...so what's holding my power back..?
"Fear.." I said to myself then was hit with a powerful punch by Yae's Angel Guardian. I grunted loudly then was sent flying.
I groaned as I hit the ground and rolled on my side.
"She lost her concentration.." Yae said then looked at me.
Orika and Iori looked a bit surprised and Orika watched worriedly. She placed her hands on the fence and watched me.
I slowly got up and my heart thumped and I grunted. My Fell Energy began to grow out of control. I panted as I tried to control it. Yae looked at me then got in her stance then dashed towards me. I looked up and watched her dash towards me.
"N-No..! Get back..!" I said worriedly.
Orika watched worriedly as well as she's never seen me in this state before.
Yae slashed down at me and a line of light aura exploded from my back. She used her signature Purification Slash to prevent me from going out of control. "Your Fell Energy is what's keeping you from reaching your maximum. We've got to get rid of that Energy because as it stands now, you'll never get anywhere with energy lims that."
Yae's scythe turned into black rose petals then she walked over to me and picked me up. She went to take me to the resting area. Orika hurried inside of the building and raced over to the resting area to check up on me.
Yae laid me down on a bed then heard the door opening. She looked back and saw Orika. Orika walked over to me.
"What was that..? That didn't seem like Hisumi..." Orika said.
"Well the truth can hurt can it?" Yae smiled and looked at me. "Hisumi was once a member of Judgement who was betrayed by them. She's got Fell Energy inside of her."
"No...That's impossible. If that were true, Hisumi would've told me. She can't be an ex-member of Judgement." Orika shook her head.
Yae looked at Orika and back at me. "Sounds like you really like her. She is a one of a kind. She had her reasons on why she couldn't tell you. Sometimes honesty isn't always good. There is a such thing as being too honest. You've got to accept some things that there are some things Hisumi can't tell you."
"But she told you..." Orika said disappointedly.
"She didn't. I already knew of her past. My master had all of the information about her when we researched her." Yae answered then walked off.
Orika held my hand then Yusa hurried in the room. "Headmaster Yusa.."
"Dammit...she hasn't been using Energy Conversion like I taught her too...why does she still have that cursed Fell Energy..?!" Yusa said.
"You knew about it too..?" Orika asked.
"I know more than you could understand...but that's a tale for a different time. Right now I need to rid Hisumi of that Fell Energy. It's a curse to her and the rest of us." Yusa said then walked over to me and took out a syringe with a formula inside of it.
She rolled up my sleeve and gently held my arm then injected the formula into my system. I grunted then the Judgement Mark on the back of my neck shined then turned into magic particles and disappeared.
"Eh..? Uhm, Commander...we lost Hisumi's Tracker. She's no longer on the radar." Morata said.
"What do you mean?" Hikaru asked.
"What I mean is she's gone. We can no longer track her. There is only one specific formula can get rid of Fell Energy and someone had to have used it on her." Morata said.
"The Valkyrias most likely. They have some of the best scientists to ever walk the Earth, but it's strange. How would they know what material to use? They don't possess our data do they?" Kioshi asked.
"Oh they in fact do." Yumi smirked and kicked her feet up on her desk. "I saw them and Orishi walking out of the Judgement Tower the other day."
"And you didn't think to stop them..?!" Kioshi asked, a bit angry.
"I don't get paid enough to risk my life in a two against one. They may have our information, but they don't know a think about our secret weapon." Yumi smiled.
H-12 stood by the window and looked out the window. He had his hands in his pockets then looked back at everyone. "...We need more members. The five of us aren't enough and with father out searching for Yusa...eventually he will lead us straight to her. He holds connections to Yusa therefore if he ever gains back his subconsciousness, he will become unstoppable and Judgement would be unstoppable."
"Yes, but where are we going to get members from..?" Kioshi asked.
"China, Europe, Japan, America..? It isn't that hard to gain members with the correct words." H-12 walked off and grabbed his cloak.
Hikaru watched him and smirked. "Judgement will become bigger than the Rulers themselves with him on our side."
H-12 hurried outside then ran off somewhere and sensed someone from the distance. He dodged a beam then looked where the beam came from. "If it isn't, Ambrosia..."
Ambrosia smirked as she floated down and her eyes shined. "The fake Hisumi. Today is my lucky day to be running errands. I'll be the first to see what you're all about."
"Hmph...Well good luck staying alive long enough to get back to your home." Hisumi said then summoned his katana. The blade emitted powerful dark aura and his eyes shined brightly.
Ambrosia summoned her staff and her eyes shined brightly.
Liao Ru walked into Orishi's office and Orishi looked at her. "Ah...Ambrosia has not..reported yet."
"Where the hell is she at..?" Orishi sighed and looked at her computer. "She better not ha e gotten herself into trouble.."
"Shall I go looking for her?" Liao Ru asked.
"Nah...She'll be back sooner or later. If she doesn't come back within an hour, I'll go looking for her." Orishi said.
Ambrosia grunted as she slid backwards and fell on one knee. "....For a fake, you're pretty strong. I'll give you that.."
"Ha...you were barely worth the sweat. I haven't even warmed up yet.." H-12 said and glared. "Now I'm going to finish this..."
He dashed toward Ambrosia and slashed, but was blocked by a katana. Ambrosia looked surprised and looked at the woman who stood in front of her.
"S-Silent Fox..?" Ambrosia said surprised.
The woman adjusted her black fox mask then looked at H-12. "I know Orishi taught you better than this...Get out of here. I will handle this faker."
Ambrosia stood up and nodded then summoned a portal under herself and vanished in the portal then the portal closed.
"Silent Fox...the traitor of LIONS. I'm surprised you even opt to even save her. What do you want..?" H-12 asked.
"I had my reasons for my betrayal. Let's talk here and now. I have come to propose a deal with you all. I'll tell you the exact location of St. Fraskia...in exchange of you handing over the last of the stored Sacred Energy to me and your alliance in specific." Silent Fox said. "I wish to take down the Valkyrias as well...I killed two of my past partners and now I'm gonna need more power to strike down Orishi and Liao Ru."
H-12 looked at Silent Fox and smirked then laughed. "Seriously..? You would give them away-"
Silent Fox showed the exactly location of St. Fraskia and H-12 looked a bit surprised. "This is where St. Fraskia moved to after Judgement attacked their academy the first time."
"Who are you working for..and do you honestly believe I would just join you? I can give you the Sacred Energy but that's all I can do." H-12 glared.
Silent Fox looked at him then turned away. "Meet me on the rooftop of the Mishiyo Tower. I'll accept the Sacred Energy there." Silent Fox vanished and left H-12 alone.
