Marie's Infusion

Too late to react, Yeona turned just as the force of Punch, charged with an overwhelming aura, surged towards her face.

"AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Marie.

**THUD*

The force of the punch struck Yeona's face with such ferocity that she was sent hurtling through the air. Her body flew uncontrollably before crashing into the ground, carving a path into the lane as she tumbled before finally coming to a stop.

*Hufff* *Huff* *Huff*

The dust settled slowly around Marie as she stood, slightly tilted, her breath coming in tired huffs.

"See, you aren't that strong. Just overly confident," says Marie, straightening herself.

As the eerie sensation of a serpent's stealthy coil gripped Marie, she turned around with her instincts and saw that Han was close at her, his curved emerald knife hurtling towards her face.

"Huhh!?" expressed Marie.

Han's moments were stealthy, and Marie couldn't realise it until he was close.

*Slash*

The blade sliced towards Marie's face in a swift arc, but she pulled back just in time, feeling its cold edge graze her cheek and the blood drip out. Han pressed on relentlessly, launching another rapid strike while Marie struggled to regain her balance. With each attack, she evaded just in time, going backwards to avoid his relentless assault.

As she moved, her sweater dress lifted slightly, exposing the smooth, vulnerable skin of her thighs. Han's eyes widened with a primal hunger at the sight; his desperation became clear before he lunged forward to strike at the soft curves of her thighs with a hungry, animal-like intensity.

"Hahaha, it's mine!!!!" said Han. "Slytherin's Strike"

The aura smoothed itself and became more fierce, and his speed instantly arose.

*Gush*

Marie fell back to the ground, her legs trembling as the knife implanted itself into her left thigh.

"Hufff*...Hufff*...."

Han summons one more knife into his hand.

"Ahh, the sight of girls clutched down is so beautiful."

"Arrghhh-"

Marie stares at Han in pain. The sweat collects on her face.

"Come here, baby, give me your other leg. I'll pin it with my love," said Han, walking towards her.

"Stay the fuck away from me. You freak," replied Marie.

"Awww, come on, don't be like this to me."

Unable to rise, she dragged herself backward across the ground and hurled stones at Han as he closed in on her. The rocks barely fazed him.

"You know it's pointless, so why bother?"

Marie prompts an aura on her hand and launches it, striking his face with a solid thud that left a visible mark. He halted momentarily, with no reaction, until his expression transformed into a sinister, menacing smile before charging at Marie with ferocity.

"Hahaha, this is why I love you women a lot," said Han.

Han delivered a vicious kick to Marie's face, followed by swift punches to her stomach and face, causing her to collapse, unmoving, her face meeting the ground.

"Ahh, it's getting tiring now. I guess you cannot do anything unless given a chance to hide."

Han grabs Marie by her hair, wrenching her head towards him. Her eyes were tired, and her mouth opened with exhaustion.

"So fucking beautiful, bitch. I want to make more mess out of you."

*Slaps* *Slaps*

Han slaps Marie on the face a few times.

"Huff* Huff*"

Marie, tired, looks down as blood keeps dropping from her cheeks and thighs.

"But sadly...I have to end this now."

Han seized Marie's wrist, forcing her to kneel as he held his knife against the edge of her throat.

"Any last wish, baby?"

Marie sat with her face downturned, devoid of any expression, resembling a lifeless figure awaiting its inevitable demise.

"H-han.."

A familiar voice breaks in from the side of the lane, and Han glances towards it.

"Huhh?" expressed Han.

A hand emerged slowly from the shattered debris, her fingers scrabbling against the surface. Yeona struggled in vain to rise, her body unable to proceed despite her efforts. It felt as if she wanted to convey something.

"Ohhh, Yeona, you are alive. Thank goodness. I thought you were dead," said Han.

"Be careful.." said Yeona.

"Huhh? Careful for what?"

"Her..."

"Can't you see I am winning here? She can't even stand anymore."

*Kicks*

Han kicks Marie on the back to show that she has no energy left inside of her.

"No..."

Yeona mustered all her strength to raise herself up, finally settling into a seated position. With effort, she lifted her gaze to meet Marie's.

"Huff* She did something," said Yeona.

"Did what?" asked Han.

"She came from behind me; the lane she was hiding behind was completely shattered because of my gamma discharge."

"Umm..yeah so?"

"She couldn't have evaded that attack just by hiding there."

"I am not understanding what you are trying to say, Yeona?" said Han.

Han lifts her face up with his finger on her chin, trying to grasp what Yeona is saying to him.

"It means she was hit by my gamma discharge, yet she was unscathed and moving perfectly fine."

"Oh, I see," said Han, finally understanding what Yeona was saying to him.

"Yes.."

"But that doesn't matter because, unlike you, I am winning against her," said Han, smiling at Yeona.

"You Dumbas-" 

"You should listen to her."

Before Yeona could finish her sentence, Marie's voice cut through the air, sharp and commanding, as she directed her words at Han, lifting her chin defiantly to meet his gaze.

"Huhh!?" 

Marie swiftly aimed the knife at Han's stomach, but he reacted instantly, leaping backward just in time to dodge the blade. He sees that the knife Marie is holding is his blade, which he had plunged inside Marie's thighs.

"That's my knife," says Han.

Marie rose to her feet gracefully, as if she were completely unharmed by the earlier attacks. Han glanced at her thighs in disbelief, noticing that the wound had miraculously closed without a trace of blood, as though it had never been there at all.

"Surprised?" asked Marie.

"What the fuck did you do?" said Han.

Han notices that the blood from her cheek is still there, but the wound on her thighs has vanished.

"It's her Infusion probably. There was no data on her or what she did. She even managed to rise to the Elite Knight position without much experience," said Yeona.

"Heyy, that's rude. I am pretty skilled, you know," replied Marie.

"You are a cunning bitch."

"Hehe. Yes, you are right, Yeona. It is my Infusion I am gifted with." says Marie.

Han and Yeona fixed their gazes on Marie, who casually toyed with the blade of Han's knife as she spoke.
