-Vol 5: A New Life-

-A hundred-year-old family’s fall(4)-

Leena Cooper was very calm. Just with a glance, she knew the two people were weaker than her individually but what if they work together? She still didn't know their strength and weaknesses. But to her, that’s not a problem. She knew her own strength pretty well and was confident to flee in case things goes south. In this case, had a hunch that things won't go that far, these two people weren't strong enough to make her escape for her life. Call it blind confidence, but she had that feeling when she saw them both.

Leena Cooper, although a magic skill user, her powers were directly out from a sci-fi movie. She had the power to control and manipulate kinetic forces around her within a certain radius. With it not only she could easily deal with any enemy, but she could also even defeat them using their own momentum. It was one of the best-hidden type of energy manipulation that could change everything on a battlefield. She could even make constructs out of this kinetic energy and use them as she sees fit. Though currently, she didn’t have the power to generate the energy herself, she knew in future she can.

So due to having this awesome skill, she knew she won't be beaten by these people. She was even confident about holding her own against Mr Hasegawa, the number one hunter in Japan strength wise, for quite a while in an all-out fight. Someone with that kind of power, how could she get beaten by these two people? If she by any chance get beaten by these two, it would be an insult to Mr Hasegawa who had predicted that in a few years she will catch up to him.

The kimono-wearing woman became a little wary when Leena appeared. She was a tracker and sensor type hunter, so she was very sensitive to energy fluctuations around her. In most cases, she could even accurately guess one’s strength just by feeling their energy radiation. And the feeling this director was giving off, she knew individually they were no match for her. As such she faced the muscular man to remind him about this.

“This woman is very strong. We have to work together if we want to remain alive. We should retreat now, there was no need for extending this pointless fight anymore. Our target is no longer here.”

But the muscular man was in no mood to listen to her, he eyes Cooper with a battle-crazed look and a lot of lust. He was attracted to the beautiful body of this woman that just appeared and forgot about his situation. The kimono wearing lady knew just how much lustful was this man and always disdained him for that, but she had never thought that his worse tendency would come out in worse possible time. She knew the man always disdained females and only thought of them as playthings, this made him underestimate most of the females. Due to this, he had also eaten losses a few times, but due to his useful skills, he survived all this time.

This time though, she wasn’t that optimistic. The feeling this newcomer woman gave was almost as suffocating as one of their named members. Back in their place, named members were considered one of the top existences. Compared to a named member, they were just average joes.

“Don’t worry. I don’t think this woman could last longer under the effect of my skill. My skill is especially effective against women who are virgin. From the way this woman walks, I can tell she is a virgin. Don’t worry, I got this.” the man spoke with a vulgar grin on his face. But he was not aware of his opponent's skill and hence didn't know that he was already inside her sphere of influence. She, who could control any all type of kinetic energy, how couldn’t it be possible for her to listen to what her enemy was talking about?

Listening to the vulgar words of the muscled man, an enraged expression appeared on her face. At the same time, she became increasingly wary. In this world, there were myriad of skills with peculiar effects. She couldn’t risk it and get near her just to fall prey to him. after hearing him say about the skill, she made a few conjectures, but she wasn’t sure about it. She also didn’t have any interest in testing them out.

“Why don’t you understand, this woman wasn’t your typical opponent. She is very strong, I am afraid she is as strong as our named members. We shouldn’t risk it, and let's flee from here…” the kimono-wearing woman said once again, trying to show reason to persuade him but the man was in no position to listen to her.

“Shut up bitch and do your work. You don’t need to care about me. you can run your self, of course, I am going to tell the leader about how you escaped from your enemy just because they are strong.” The muscular man smiled vulgarly and said to the woman with a wink.

Seeing him like that made the kimono-wearing woman wanting to vomit on the spot. She just wanted to remind him so that they could escape but this man giving her vulgar looks. This frankly pissed her off, and she decided on the spot to not care about him anymore. Giving out a snort, she backed away step by step before vanishing altogether.

Leena tensed up a little when she saw the woman vanishing and redoubled her vigilance. Soon she felt her leaving her sphere of influence, making her take a breath of relief. But also with relief came anger, she was at the end unable to prevent one of the enemies from leaving.

“Bitch! Come to me. I will show you what real pleasure looks like. Hahaha!!” the muscular man started to glow as a blue coloured aura emanated from him. The aura intensified for a second before reducing to how it was before. As soon as the aura receded, Leena felt her vision blurring and a weird sense of hotness under her collar. It was so intense that she wanted to remove it, to escape from the hotness.

“Shit!” suddenly she became aware of this strange behavior of the body and cursed. Utilizing her Intent to its fullest, she countered the weird feeling with her dauntless will. Image of a talisman appeared behind her before shining bright. The light illuminated the area and also dispelled the weird effect she was feeling. At the same time, under the effect of the light, she was able to see strange green coloured smoke wafting through the whole area. The center of this smoke lied with the muscular man, who was making a face of a dried of squid.

The man was very surprised when he saw the light flash upon him. At first, he thought it was just a normal light, but soon when he saw green coloured smoke all around him, his face changed colour. He knew what this green smoke was, after all, he was the one who emitted them. But the usually transparent and odorless smoke suddenly became visible, what does this mean?

“Fuck!” he cursed in a low voice and forced to reassess his opponent again.
