Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Against the Strongest.

"Nice to meet you Miss Sunny. It's an honor to face off against such a legend."

"L-Legend? What are you talking about now? Don't make me feel like I'm old already... Damn it... Because of your existence... I feel like I'm old..."

... Is this the same lady that has the confident that can shake the whole world? Why are her acting like this? It's not something that I thought from her.. Oh well... She's weird... But I won't let it disturb my focus...

"Anyway... First off... Don't be too tense... Before you faced against me... I will give you some heads up. Your name is Taiga right? You're 18 Years old. And you're probably about to finish up your school... So how about this... I'll make you a deal right now... But the deal won't be told until the test is over. So, what do you do?"

"... That's not how you do a deal Miss. I don't care if you're the strongest in the country. But if you want to swindle me to a bad deal... I won't hold back."

I let out some pressure... And Miss Sunny quietly nodded and then take her sword out.

"I guess you're right. Well then, Entertain me with your ability. Depending on how good you are... My deal will either be very high, or very mediocre."

The first one to make the move should be Miss Sunny. Because I will lose immediately if I'm the one who initiate the fight... Be patience...

Miss Sunny seems to realize what's going on... And she accepted my challenge... She quietly dashed toward me...

Now this is the lady I know... The silent movement like an assassin, and precise movement like an archer... With the Pressure of a Tank.

She's the perfect hunter... But I'm not going to let her intimidate me... If i want to show the world that I'm good... Then I need to hold on. I need to land at least a single attack on her... A single solid attack to put my name on the pantheon of the greatest.

It sounds like an easy task. But she's notorious for having a perfect record... She's rarely injured, and even in the fight against other S rankers... She's usually the one who come out on top unscathed.

Anyway... She dash so fast that it gives me the feeling of the exact same movement that I do to Lucky...

She swing her sword upward diagonally... It cuts me. But fortunately, Since I shifted to the back slightly... The cut were shallow... But still, blood is coming out from my chest...

"Hoo? You manage to dodge my attack? My very first attack? It seems like you're better than I thought."

She seems pretty impressed... But I know the tone that she uses... She still wants more... She still expecting something better...

So I give her what she wanted... I dashed toward her without any feeling of danger... I just go in toward her and hope for the best...

She didn't do a counter immediately... She is still a bit surprised from my Movement Style...

Third Style: Silencing Moment is a special kind of style. It's a movement style... The way you move using Silencing Style is by using your opponent blind spot... And it doesn't necessarily mean that you need to move using the blind spot they already have... You can make their blind spot by using timing...

So, by using the time when they're blinking... You're unbeatable... Because when you disappear from their eyes... They can't spot you... Your movement is smooth and fast... It's like you're gliding on the floor. No footsteps sounds were made when you're using Silencing Moment...

And the moment when they least expected it... That's when you strike...

That's exactly what happened...

She's still shocked to see Silencing Moment... But my legs are acting up right now... It's hurting like crazy. Hence, hindering my movement a little...

Second Style: Glorious Blaze!

I thrust my hand straight toward her face... But due to the sudden shift in my body... My whole body shifted to the side and my hand fumbled... Scratching her cheek a bit...

My movement is so hindered that I can't attack her with full force... No flame appear when I use my Glorious Blaze. It's nothing more than a simple scratch...

"Uggh!"

She were shook. Of course... But she still realize that I'm in a grave danger from the setback of my movement... So she immediately kick my chest...

And she realize... Her eyes widened and she realize that my wound closed up perfectly...

"You... What are your ability?"

She asked me... I quietly smile and then stand up properly... Thanks to Insatiable Hunger... Not only that my chest is healed... But also my feet are healed... Now I can move again...

"My skill? Well Miss Sunny... It's rude to ask that don't you think? If you want to know, then you must make me your subordinate first!"

"... Very well then... I will beat you down so prepare yourself... Don't blame me to the pain that has to come!"

Her eyes turn into a beast eyes... She just dashed and unleash her true self... Of course, I unleash my true self as well... This is the best time for me to go against the strongest!

So I go all out... Truly... I don't care about all the small cut she gives me... She never hit me deep enough to the point where I need extra care... But her small cut is definitely dangerous. Because the blood that keep spurting is not small...

But my Insatiable Hunger keep healing me up... Since she is so focus on not killing me... I focused more on attacking her at full force and full speed... All the blow that she takes... Even if it's small brush on the hair... Heal me up...

And of course... She still have the pride of an S Rank... The last attack she did is truly dangerous...

"Half Moon Slash!"

She goes all out on this attack and almost split open my stomach... The wound is deep enough where blood is gushing out. But fortunately... It's not enough where I'm split in half...

  "Guhaah!"

It's painful! But... This is the power of the strongest S Rank around! It's big! Bigger than I thought they were! And If this is a real battle. I would have no chance against her!

"Well then... I will heal you if you promise to talk with me about business. How about it?"

"... G..."

"G? G! Good then."

She splashes a potion on my wound and just pick me up in a princess carry.

"Director~ I'm taking dibs on this guy okay? I'll talk to you all later!"

It seems like... I've been kidnapped from other guild... But oh well... Who cares? If it's the Everlasting Sun Guild... I would be happy to join.
