Awakening of Power

Arazlo, sensing that the plan was going awry, decided to intervene. She flung open the bar door and for the first time felt a powerful aura emanating from someone.

Everyone present was shocked not by the opening of the door, but by the strength of Gerda's aura, which had struck El.

Arazlo entered the bar slowly. She stopped next to the fallen Reiyza and, observing what was happening, thought: "What a cute kitten."

Almost everyone was looking at Gerda, but some had already noticed the new girl.

El smirked slightly and lowered her head. From under her thick hair, one could see her smile and eyes that seemed to have lit up. El swayed to the right, to the left. She staggered, and many thought she was unwell, but they did nothing.

Arazlo, taking a deep breath, shouted at the top of her voice: "Break!"

El paid no attention to her. She raised her head slightly, her face contorted with anger, which was immediately replaced by a smile, as if a ray of sunshine had illuminated her. El proudly raised her head and looked at those around her. Sweeping her gaze over everyone in a split second, she approached the rifle hanging on the wall and took it in her hands. With a wave of the rifle, as if it were a sword, she transformed it into a short blade.

— Eh, I was thinking of playing a little longer, but I'll have to postpone it, — she said, tilting her head to the side, — I'll wait for the true leader.

— Hey, auntie, who are you? — a voice came from behind Arazlo.

El turned around.

"Auntie? What kind of brat is calling me that?" — she thought.

At the same moment, Arazlo turned around and saw a girl who looked very much like Gerda. "That's my type! No, no, wait, I have to control myself," — she thought.

— Ahem-ahem. It's rude to address a young girl as "auntie." And introduce yourself, who are you? — El interrupted Arazlo's daydreams.

— He-he. So you decided to acknowledge me after all? Ha-ha-ha! — Tiro laughed.

— Hey, Tiro, you ran away right after the warm-up and now you're laughing? — Yanus asked with a smirk.

— Shut up, I can do that too, I didn't run away!

— Oh, shall we test that?

— Yes, let's see who's stronger! — Tiro became enthusiastic.

Observing this dialogue, Arazlo intervened:

— Hey, stop it already. I forbid you to fight until tomorrow, is that clear?

— What?! — How so?! — That's terrible! — the girls began to protest.

— Be quiet! — Arazlo stamped her foot, — if you don't shut up, I'll have to shut you up by force.

— Oh, so we're going to play, are we? — El grinned and swung her sword, transforming it back into a rifle. Gerda cracked her knuckles. Yanus shook her head, and a cracking sound was heard. Reiyza tried to get up but couldn't. Arazlo pointed her hand towards the girls as if holding a spear. Her face expressed excitement.
