Chereads / The Virtues of this Tropical Isle / Chapter 28 - Upperhand

Chapter 28 - Upperhand

The handicap battle ensues.

Kaneda rushes both of the girls.

"Which one should I primarily focus on the one I haven't faced or the one that I have faced before." Kaneda ponders.

Alexia rushes as well.

"Seems like that Snowgirl isn't that strong of a physical fighter while on the other hand, this one is." Kaneda thinks to himself.

SNAP

Kaneda and Alexia swap positions and Kaneda is now more close to the Xella is is the back line.

Aurora Ve-

"This set up again" Kaneda rushes straight for Xella setting up her ability.

Kaneda tries to hit Xella as she keeps trying to activate Aurora Veil properly.

"I know having that ability activated throughout the battle will make things even harder so if I keep attacking her and prevent her from using it I should be fine." Kaneda thinks to himself.

Kaneda finally sees an opening to strike but Alexia then steps in and uses her hand-to-hand combat to try and take the pressure off of Xella to release the ability.

"Do it now Xella" Alexia demands.

ATTRACTING FORCE

Kaneda puts his two hands out and brings them together.

The two girls get stopped and get pulled into Kaneda.

COPY "ATTRACTING FORCE"

Alexia yells before reaching Kaneda copies the ability and pulls him towards her while kicking Kaneda square in the face.

The speed and momentum that was given during that time to Alexia was tremendous.

Kaneda was stunned by this rubbing his face where he got kicked "Wow that's a troublesome ability also nice kick" Kaneda praises Alexia. "She's good what rank is she Rank A no no an Aeon rank mage for sure. The way she was able to adapt right at that moment. I have to be careful here" Kaneda deep in his thoughts.

"What's wrong Captain? I thought you could take us both on?" Xella says taunting Kaneda.

"Yeah, I will am just getting in some steam," Kaneda says with confidence.

SEND

"Well, you better pick up quickly unless you're going to die" Alexia appears right in front of him.

Alexia looks to land a shot to his face but Kaneda swiftly and easily dodges it. Alexia looks shocked as she seems to wonder how Kaneda was able to react so fast.

"Surprised I ain't a Captain for nothing now."

Kaneda then shoots a black ball toward Alexia.

DELETE

The ball then disappears.

Kaneda with a shocked expression.

SEND

A kunai lands directly in front of Kaneda and gets another combo.

Kaneda staggers back a little bit "Very impressive ability but"

Suddenly Kaneda shoots one of his black spheres in the opposite direction.

Alexia appears where the kunai once was but.

SNAP

Kaneda again swaps places with the Sphere and evades the attack and gets a punch in.

The two then create some distance from one another both on ground level.

Alexis then looks tired and burnt out.

"It looks like you wont be using that for a moment now." Kaneda then studies the situation "so the girl with short hair has abilities to teleport, copy, and delete but there seems to be a limit for the amount of times she can do it. That means my main focus is" Kaneda looks at Xella "to take out snow girl."

Kaneda then decides to take this fight in the air taking the height advantage.

AURORA VEIL

"Damn these lights again."

Blasts shoot out of the veil that covers the three mages. Kaneda dodges them while at the same time trying to keep with Alexia in hand-to-hand combat.

"I should be fine but am not too sure when am going to create an opening. Snowgirl is a magic user, not a physical."

Kaneda is able to block any magical attack that comes his way but this can't be said about hand-to-hand combat.

The two sides are at a standstill where they seem to be going nowhere.

"It seems that using your ability in quick succession takes a toll on your body," Kaneda asks Alexia.

"Not going to deny that." Alexia agrees.

"And it seems that your friend there is providing some backup support"

"From the looks of it, you guys have the upper hand as we're both at a stalemate here. I know eventually my body we still react to this veil you set up"

"Sign I wish that-"

Kaneda pauses.

"Well you guys had your chance to beat me but it seems that I have gained the upper hand."

"What?" The two girls are confused.

VOSH

A figure appears. A boy with spiky silver hair, and yellow eyes, wearing a winter outfit with a black and white color scheme, fur neckline, a jacket that zips up to his neckline, and a compass in the middle of his attire.

"Yes you have come to save me," Kaneda says playfully going to hug the boy.

The boy pushes him away with his hands with an irritated look on his face.

"Now you can see why I left. Sigh. Whatever. What's the issue with these two?"

"Yes am having trouble can I get some assistance." putting his hands together in a praying position.

"You really need to stop playing. Let's get it over with. Good thing is your lieutenant any other person would leave you."

"Much appreciated let's roll Tetsuo."

"Great another one to deal with," Xella says.

"Fine let's do battle," Alexia says.

Captain and Lieutenant stand together as the fight against the two Order of the Seven members continues.

Lieutenant of Squad 10 Sanada Tetsuo has joined the battle.
