" Why did you kill him!?" Indhra slammed his vocal cords at Dunn, who was a bit confused at this question, while ducking behind a chair to avoid death by the horizontal rain of bullets fired at them.

  " Huh!?" Dunn questioned with a sound produced from his vocals." What do you mean!? Shinsu would have died!"

  Indhra grunted in rage while commanding loudly," No one will kill anyone, unless necessary!" He understood the need to kill the two warriors with a stone in his heart.

  The trio of Warriors came to their stance while Labrica hunted down Shinsetsu. " She is mine; you both can go get that brat!" She said quietly to her teammates.

  Hijoi and Hojoi ran towards the counter, while Hojoi held the deck of tarot cards in his left hand and one tarot card of the deck in his right. Dunn Smith jumped in front of the counter, joined by Derrick, who stood beside him. Aldred, behind the counter, sat on the floor beside the traumatised Kyra, who both lay back on the table.

  Aldred held the gun given by Derrick. Use only when necessary! Guess we should follow the orders given by God Armour! With a sigh, he held it tightly while comforting Kyra.

  A dark aura surrounded Mr Derrick as his pupils took the shape of a Katana. The aura then spread across his body, enveloping his skin. He joined his fingers to make a fist as the aura concentrated at the fist and formed a dark Katana.

  Dunn's eyes illuminated a dark red aura as his pupils transformed into an ice crystal.

  Both had turned on their Mana Vision. While it boosted awakeners' vision, it also boosted their physical attributes, and it boosted the techniques they used.

  The floor burst into rubble as Derrick propelled himself using his dark energy.

  He sprinted across the cafe to attack Hijoi. Hijoi smirked with excitement and quickly tossed a coin, heads. Derrick swung the sword with his full might while his eyes left a red aura. Each swing of the sword left Mana. Hijoi dodged by hopping around a few times. But after some time, Derrick managed to slice him in the stomach.

  Instead of blood, paper particles flew in the air. Derrick gasped at the sight of Hijoi's body turning into a small paper figurine.

  Derrick was caught off guard as he sensed the Mana of Hijoi behind him, who pushed his arm forward with his fist covered in water to punch him in his ribs.

  The sword in Derrick's hand disappeared, and the aura covered his feet. An explosion under his foot propelled him forward. He did a 360 with the aura in his feet transferred to his right fist. He moved his body to punch Hijoi's face, but then, suddenly, he teleported behind Derrick in the place of the paper figurine. Derrick's punch did land, but on the paper figurine on which it was written, 'Idiot!!!'.

  He grunted in rage as he turned back," Quit with these tricks and fight like a true warrior!"

  Hijoi looked back as he was facing the opposite direction. " I fear I am not a warrior whom you aspire to become! I am just a person with goals to complete!"

  " Well! I knew that from the beginning!" Said Derrick Shogun with no slight emotion seen in his eyes.

  He doesn't look like a teacher! Aldred commented to himself, who was peeking at the fight while protecting Kyra. He knew he was certainly safe, but Kyra was a different case.

  He is surely from the Spector clan! They are masters at space manipulation... Derrick thought with a sigh.

  Hijoi, with a smirk, pulled the coin out of his pocket and fitted it in between two of his fingers. He spread his mana on the coin. The Mana propelled the coin to fire like a bullet. The sword appeared in Derrick's hand, which sliced the coin in two halves. To his surprise, this was a distraction set up by the Spector. Hijoi moved his arm forward as the wind tensed up, moving his clothes and hair like sea waves. Drown! He screamed as water started to flow out of his hands to attack Derrick. Derrick lifted his arm and sliced through the water, which split the water in two halves to make a river where the water is the riverbank, and the soil is the river flowing.

  Derrick heard a quiet smirk behind him. To his confusion, Hijoi was absent from his place; instead, there was a paper figurine in his place. He quickly turned his sword back and attacked his back, where Hijoi guarded himself with a fork. A shockwave was released by the collision of a mana sword with a classic fork. The fork shattered as the sword cut through it and sliced a part of Hijoi's hand, that is, between his fingers.

  Hijoi felt the pain, so he exchanged places with the paper figurine.

  Hijoi lifted his arm, and a faint red aura surrounded his wounded hand. Suddenly, the wound started to heal with a faint vapour coming out as it healed. That doll! Derrick frowned. He used it earlier. He used his water waves as a distraction to throw the doll behind me, which he then used to exchange places to surprise me! I hate tricksters!

  " I see that you've prepared yourself before coming here!" Derrick commented with a serious face.

  " You see..." Hijoi spoke with a smirk as he formed a bomb or a ball of water in his hand," A magician never comes without preparing!"

  He jumped and threw the bomb at Derrick with full force, adding his Mana to propel. In fact, he didn't throw only one; he threw many. Derrick sliced each of the balls of Water.

  Derrick started to sprint, knowing very well that Hijoi is not going to stop.

  He swung the Shogun Katana, followed by Hijoi, dodging those attacks. One swing caused Hijoi to jump high. He quickly formed a water Kunai and threw it at Derrick. Derrick quickly sliced the Kunai and poked the sword at his enemy. Hijoi dodged each of these attacks and hit Derrick's stomach. A shockwave was produced by the collision between Hijoi's palm and Derrick's body.

  Derrick coughed and walked back a bit.

  Hijoi raised his arm forward to shoot a water bullet, which was produced from a finger of his hand. Derrick narrowly dodged it as faint vapours were produced from his stomach. His body was healing from internal damage.

  Derrick grunted, It has been more than six years since I had a good fight! He sprinted again.

  He struck his sword on the floor, which cracked it. He used it to leap just like a pole vaulting athlete. He pulled the sword in the air and tried to hit Hijoi, but instead of Hijoi, he cut the paper figurine.

  I understand his techniques now! He picked the paper figurine as he saw Hijoi standing.

  " Aww...You actually found the answer to my substitution!" Hijoi said with a smile as Derrick filled the figurine with his Mana.

  The paper tore apart as a red aura surrounded it. He has used some type of technique, which can only be broken by a different person's Mana! Derrick's mind said to him.

  Hijoi smirked," Well, this will just make the fight more fun!"

  Derrick came to his Samurai stance as he said with no slight smile," Sure..."
