"Maria, attack from the left, I'll come from the right." A dark-haired girl who looked not more than 16 years old said running forward and nodding to the girl who was beside her.

With black hair that contained several white strands, the girl who was being talked to nodded back at her friend and focusing back on the enemy in front of them, they both accelerated at their fastest speed.

Standing at a height of 6'2 was a bald well-built man with leather Armor on just his chest, the man had an angry expression on his face and holding a long thick sword in his right hand, he had no qualms brandishing the weapon at the two teenage girls rushing toward him.

"You damn bitches, when I'm done cutting you up, you're going to be calling me daddy." The man roared as he used his left hand to wipe out the blood that was falling from a long cut that had been placed on his forehead.

Despite their small fragile nature, the two girls paid the man's words no attention, and when they were just about to reach him, they brandished a dagger in each of their hands and completely closed the distance between them and the man.

"Raghhhh" the man shouted as swung his blade forward, not surprised when the girl to his right crossed her daggers and blocked his attack.

With a sneer, the man pressed down on his sword locking the girl in position as she was forced to put all her strength into her hands to avoid being forced to her knees.

Now, though it seemed like the girl had been put at a disadvantage and had been put in a tough spot, the girl called Maria had a grin on her face as she kept the man's right hand busy, her actions inadvertently leaving the man open to an attack from her teammate or so she thought.

Easily suppressing the girl to his right with a single swing, the bald man at the same moved his left shoulder back and dodged a swipe from the dark-haired girl to his left and then before the girl could launch another attack, his left hand shot out at her, his fist clenched and aimed for her head.

In a show of dexterity, the girl used her left forearm to block the man's punch and while a squeal of pain left her mouth, her right hand which was by now back from its initial swing went into action again but this time rather than going in for a slash it covered the dagger which was in its hand with a faint blue light and then threw it at the man.

With a scowl that showed that he was out of options, the man swiftly jumped backwards, his action barely getting him out of the way of the dagger but at the same time also freeing the other girl he had pinned down.

A growl left the man's lips as he landed a few steps away from the girls, but then before he could do anything both women threw the daggers they had in their hands at the man, a faint blue light coming off the weapons.

Seeing this, the man gritted his teeth and with haste dived to the side, his body barely escaping the daggers which shot passed him with a howl that announced how incredibly high their piercing ability was.

Having been the ones pressing so far, the two girls wanted to keep their advantage so they quickly charged the man once for, but unfortunately, this time the bald man was done with being played with as with a roll he stood up from his dive and then entering into a stable stance, he planted his weapon in the ground and clasped his together with a yell and then a second later opened his palms at the two girls.

The second the man opened his palm, an open blue ethereal book about 5 inches long appeared in front of him and from it, a huge fireball came blazing out and shooting at the girls.

With immediate haste the two girls stopped their advance and as fast as they could ran to their respective sides, one going left and the other going right, both of them diving away from the huge flame of death that landed in the middle of their last position and tore up the earth.

Not minding the debris, dust and heat wave that had been kicked up as a result of his attack the man charged forward, entering the smoke-filled region.

Not even up to two seconds later, the bald man appeared over the figure of a stunned girl who was still disoriented from the blast of the fireball and was just getting her vision back.

Lying there on the ground, the girl could only look on with shocked and fearful eyes as the bald man stood before her his blade already poised in the air and beginning to fall towards her.

"Emily," the girl heard her female teammate desperately cry from afar.

At this moment, Emily could feel death already embracing her, but then just as she closed her eyes already accepting her fate, she heard the sound of lightning crackling and then felt something thick splattering on her face.

With a gasp, Emily quickly opened her eyes and though she could no longer see the bald man in front of her, just two steps to her right she could see a whitehaired boy with blue eyes staring at her, his breathing heavy while in his hand he held a bow made of nothing but pure blue and black lightning.

"Are you okay?" the boy asked his tone tight, but just as Emily was about to reply he gasped and fell to his knees, one of his hands on the floor, while his other hand rested on his chest as blood began flowing down his nose.

"Tion" the girl cried as she scampered up to crawl toward the boy, but he raised a hand and stopped her and then pushed himself up and rested his butt on his heels while staring at the sky with a small smile.

"Emily, are you okay" a voice came from behind the girl who had been saved.

"I'm fine Maria, it's Tion we should be worried about," Emily said with a worried face, Maria's expression also changing.

"Ehh Tion will you be okay" Maria tentatively asked as she moved to his side and a bit hesitatingly held his body, her small hands rubbing his heavily heaving chest, Emily soon joining Maria in this action, worry on her face.

"I'm all for my students bonding, but why do I get the feeling there is more than that going on here," an amused female voice sultrily said.

"Ahh sensei, where have you been, come and take a look at Tion, he's Bleeding from his nose and ears" Emily was quick to call out turning to look at their female teacher and leader who had popped out of nowhere behind them.

"I don't think it's that bad Emily, I mean look at Tion, he seems to be in a world of his own."

The two girls were confused by their teacher's words but then they quickly stood and observed Tion's expression and realised that she was right, the boy had his lips curved into a smile, his eyes closed and seemed to be basking under the rays of the sun.

Confusion entered the faces of the girls but before they could say anything, Tion's eyes snapped open and he stood to his feet and then smiled at the newly arrived mature woman.

"You saw what I did right" Tion said as he rubbed his chest and then moved, going past the arrived woman.

Not even bothering for an answer from the woman Tion walked toward an area which was covered in thick splashes of blood and body bits.

"Say sensei can I keep this blade" the boy said lifting up the bald man's sword with plenty of noticeable effort.
