Conflict

i shout loudly to call lady tiona

all of sudden , a silhouette coming to me very fast . i feeling uneasy because the silhoutte seems hostile to me .

i feel that he or she attacked me by my left side , i almost can't see the attack because it is very quick in reflex i cross my hands to guard my body .

i defended the attack but because it's too strong i got bounced to my right side very far from where i standing before .

i tried to balanced myself , so that i could defense another attack . even though my hands still hurt . i glanced at my hands , my wrist got hit directly it become bruised . my skin around the wrist become red .

i try to move my wrist , there are no problem i can still move it

fortunately , on my right side is an alleyway . if it citizen house most probably the wall collapsed because of the impact and i will got injury on my back .

also , if that attack hit my body directly probably i won't be able to move after that . i look at the attacker , it too dark for me to know the attacker identity .

the thing that i know is he attack me with his kick . the legs that he use to kick me still midair , i see he lowered his legs .

he walk closer to me, vaguely i could hear voice . but it doesn't really matter for me because i need to focus to see more incoming attack from the attacker .

i take out something from my pocket . it's a flare signal , i aim it to the sky , i pull pin of the flare it activated , then i get into stance .

the flare signal shot up to the sky , then just like a firework it explode . many people in the area could see it . it is a signal used by the empire's knight . if the knight saw the flare signal then it mean an intruder has come to the place.

the silhoutte looked up to the sky , then he lowered his head to see me infront of not very far away from him . he laughed

Attacker : " as i thought you are an assassin , such weakling want to kill our familia . is that your signal to call your teamnate ? , that's good i will kill all you weakling at once ! "

i heard the attacker's voice , i know he is a man because of that . he said that i am an assassin . . . . even though he is the one attacking me first .

Yoru : " no ! , you are misunderstanding me . i'm not an as . . . "

before i could explaining more thing to him, he already coming closer to attack me. i don't have any choice other than be prepared by the incoming attack .

Attacker : " EAT THIS ! "

on the same time . . .

at the empire barrack

many knight can be seen on the building . they preparing themselves , the atmosphere becomes a little bit gloom because from the building window they could saw the red flare signal .

they already know what the red signal mean . all the knight already got knowledge about flare signal . which are red , blue , and green .

Blue signal meaning that the scout team infiltrate the enemy place and they ready to attack the place . Green Signal means there are enemy reinforcement coming to attack , and the last red signal means that we're under attack .

one of the knights run to their captain's room , before he could knock on the door it opened itself . the knight captain emergence out of the room . in panic the knight saluted to the captain .

Knight A : " Sir ! "

the knight captain saluted back to him in a hurry

Knight Captain A : " Yes, i know . i can see it from the window of my room . "

then he continued

Knight Captain A : " The Commander has order me . our squad will deal with the signal it is because we're the nearest from the signal shot up. we will set off by zero five zero zero . tell the squad to preparing ! "

Knight A : " Yes Sir ! "

the knight run back to his squad place in order to tell that they will set off 5 minutes later and they need to preparing in that time .

as the knight captain told the knight that, he go back inside his room . from that he can see the leftover of red flare signal in his mind he think that

Knight Captain A : " i hope we're not late "

but , without realizing he speak out and fortunately no one in there heard the comment .

at the alleyway

i couldn't do anything , he attacking me in streak. i don't even have enough time to breathe . this feeling , it like how i sparing with my grandfather . the thing that different is that this man will kill me while grandfather would not .

in that case, i could not make any small mistake because if i did , my life will be on his hands . i really need to train harder if i could survived this .

even though his stance got many holes, but because he always in attack i couldn't counter back because if i did , he will dodge my attack and hit my body vital point . it is the worst thing that i need to evade .

i could only defended his attack with my arm and dodge some attack . i remember my grandfather words while i was sparing with him .

' if you are defending in battle . you need to reduced the enemy contact while waiting for chance to counter attack . a counter that hit the enemy's body vital point in their body '

i evaded his attack while waiting a chance for counter attack , if i get to counter attack him even once i can reverse the situations .

to be honest , his technique not much . i could predict where he will aim my body easily . but the speed of attack is the problem and his power . i wait, and wait for a little longer . until . . . .

i see a chance to counter, i take that chance to attack him . after evading his attack i move forward, opening my hand and straightened my finger . i strike him with my hands palm , aiming for his face .

it connected , he got hit by my palm but because either i'm not using enough force or his endurance too high he didn't seems hurt .

he stand still for few seconds , i take the chance to back away from him . my body hurt because his attack, my arm , my leg , and my palm also hurting from blocking.

i glanced at his face , i could see smile shown on his face . i think inside my mind , is the attacker a bad people that smiling after being attacked . as i think that he shout to talk to me

Attacker : " for a weakling like you to hurt myself face , i will give you compliments. "

unconsciously i took more vigilant stance . in my heart i know something will come out from this attacker.

Attacker : " i will become more serious from now on ! "

as he said that , his body become blurry then i feel impact on my body . i bounced far away from my previous standing place . this speed and the power , he became faster and stronger than before

is he using magic or he not using his full powers yet . if it the first then there are a chance that he is a magic warrior but if the latter , then it will be the worst . . . for me .

i couldn't do anything . . . again

even though i just started to counter back , but because of blessings of god he got me again. i want to eat him .

i'm feel very hungry . as he hit me i couldn't dodge nor block the attack . it's just a free kill for him .

but . . .

if i got second chance to fight him , i will tear him down , i will gobble him , i will eat him . there are no other feelings except to eat something right now

the more i got hit , the more i feel sleepy . i tried to stay conscious but unfortunately my feeling to sleep is more harder than it .

i got hit so hard that i can't balancing myself , i fell down . my face facing the sky , from below my eye sight i could see the attacker coming closer to me . i see that he is not a human , but a werebeast .

a dog to be precisely , because i can see his tail behind . he have a black hat on the top . he wear red shirt , and black cloth inside . i see he using black gloves that used to punch me , he wear a boots . an adamantite i think because it very hurt when i blocked his kick .

the last thing i could see is that he raised his feet to stepped on my body before i got unconscious .

in my mind i think that ' aah ~ , i really want to eat something '

After yoru was unconscious . . .

in the alleyway a person step on someone body . his face is smiling

Attacker : " for a weakling to fighting myself without running , i give you a compliment "

after he said that , he could sense some people coming to his place .

Attacker : " 2 , . . . no 5 , . . . . 8 , . . . . 15 people i see "

from the sky someone jump up to land in front of the stepped body , the attacker back away not too far before that person could landed . he unsheated his sword then point to the attacker

Knight Captain A : " we're the knight from The Empire , tell me your name and your affiliation !! "

Attacker : " The Empire's Knight you said ? "

even he ask , he just asking himself . the knight captain still show expressionless face , the attacker nodded thought that he understand the situation .

Attacker : " allright allright i understand ! . myself name is Bete Loga a person from Loki Familia at Orario City "

Knight Captain A : " i understood , then this person is ? "

the knight captain sheated back his swords and then point to the person on the ground .

Bete Loga : " he is an assassin , came from somewhere and try to kill my familia member so i just beat him up ! "

Bete laughing as he say that . the knight captain nodded at Bete's words and stay silent for a while before

Knight Captain A : " As the empire knight i say thank you for shut the assassin "

the knight captain bowed down to bete as he said it , and then he continued

Knight Captain A : " you can leave the prepeator to us , you are free to go . one more time i grateful to you "

Bete Loga : " ah , yes "

bete only said yes and then leave the area . the rest of knights came right after he left the area . one of the knight look at the person on the ground and search the body . he finds an emblem for noble . he identified the emblem and then come to the knight captain .

Knight : " Captain , i found this emblem inside pocket the person on the ground ! "

he saluted to the knight captain and elaborate the thing he found . the captain saluted back and see the emblem that the knight found . after he see the emblem he shocked and rub his eyes to confiriming that he didn't see wrong thing.

Knight Captain A : " th- This is the emblem of Trunyan Baron house ! "

the knight that found the emblem become more shock because . . .

Knight : " Tru- Trunyan . Captain , isn't that the . . . . "

before the knight could finish his words , the knight captain looked at the knight with teary eyed , he know he will be punished later and the worst would be fired .

Knight Captain A : " Yeah , you guess it correct . the only one official has that last name in the empire would be The Knight Commander ! "

Knight : " then, . . . does that mean this person on the ground is . . . . "

Knight Captain A : " most probably the commander's grandson . "

all of sudden the knight body become heavy , because the responsible their squad took is bigger than their previous mission .

Knight Captain A : " For the time being , we need to take him to the baron's house and tell the commander about this "

Knight : " y- yes sir ! "

as the knight captain order the knight to do that, the knight salute and then walk to other squad member and retell the story . the knight captain can only look up to the sky and murmur

Knight Captain A : " i hope i didn't get fired today "
