Losing to Yuki

Yuki then waved her hand and soon a burst of Ice Shot out that forced Yumie and Katsumi to back away.

Katsumi looks at Yumie, signaling her something. Luckily for the both of them, she quickly understood and backed away, as for Katsumi she charged towards Yuki to fight her head-on, while Yumie's job was to shoot down Yuki.

"Looks like you have a plan," Yuki smirked.

She then also lunges forward and Katsumi accepts her challenge.

Soon both of them then began exchanging blows, Yumie was shooting Yuki at an angle so that Yuki cannot dodge nor block it, but to her surprise, Yuki looked at her for a second before destroying all the Fire Arrows that she shot.

After that, she kicked Katsumi and shot dozens of Ice Spikes at her. Katsumi countered it by blocking all of them with her spear.

Clang!!

The sound of the Spear and Ice Spikes colliding can be heard throughout the battlefield, Yuki then smirked and snapped her fingers.

Yumie thought that she was safe for a moment but then she was unable to move and when she saw her legs got frozen in place, she pales and looked at Yuki.

"Now, even if you're in a relatively long place in a fight you still gotta put your guard up, or else something like this might happen." Rory taught Yumie.

But it was already too late, there was a silhouette that was coming toward her.

"Moon Slash!"

Yumie acts calmly at the situation after hearing Rory, she then tried to free herself by setting her feet on fire. But because it was too cold and too strong, she didn't manage to free herself, even so, she is still calm instead of panicking.

She then aimed her bow at the incoming attacks and shot all of them down by using multiple arrows at the same time.

Bang!!

Yumie successfully shot all of it down before it managed to touch her, and she also freed herself from the binding.

Yuki smiled at this and retracted her eyes back at Katsumi.

"Look, your Big Sister is doing better than you." Yuki taunted.

Katsumi got angry at this and decided to finally use her Skills.

"Gravity Manipulation!"

She pointed the attack to Yuki and soon Yuki can feel a pressure building up in her body that made her stumble a bit.

'So this is what it feels like when the Gravity around you is amplified.' Yuki thought she even found it hard to move.

Nonetheless, she accepted the attack and countered it by attacking Katsumi endlessly.

By constantly exchanging attacks with her sword while sending some sneaky Ice Attacks, she still manages to counter Yumie's attack that was going after her.

When Yuki sensed that the two were getting tired she finally decided to go all out.

"Absolute Speed."

"Ice Maker!"

Yuki's attack became 2x faster.

Katsumi didn't even have the time to dodge or block the attacks and found herself back in a corner.

Yumie was also not safe, she found herself trapped in a big Ice Domain and moments later thousands of Ice Swords started to form and lunged toward her.

Finally, they lost within a minute of Yuki's attack.

"Impressive, but as I said earlier your Mana consumption is too big," Aria said.

"I know, but at least I managed to use less Mana than before." Yuki shrugged.

"Let's go back now shall we?" When Yuki invited, she was feeling sticky due to the sweat that had built up and she wanted to take a shower before eating.

"Okay," Aria said, she then snapped her fingers again and they were now back in the Dining Hall.

"I'm gonna take a shower, you guys go first," Yuki said she then vanished along the hallway not waiting for them to answer.

"She is really cold and indifferent huh?" Rory comments.

"Yeah I know, even though she talks to us I can feel that she doesn't trust us and is hiding it," Aria added.

"Is she always like this?" Rory asked Yumie who was quietly eating the snacks that the maid gave.

"Yes, she is, even in the past when we met a pair of humans she didn't like them or trust them even after 5 months," Yumie answered.

"Do you know why?" Aria asked.

"No, I don't have any idea why," Yumie said.

She was not lying, even though she was with Yuki for the longest time. She still cannot understand Yuki at all.

But it was just Yuki's character to be like that, wary of everyone after experiencing something horrible in the past.

Even if she showed care like with the maid, that was out of courtesy only and no emotions were involved.

"Well it's fine, we just need to understand her for her now," Rory said.

Meanwhile, on Yuki's side, she was laying in the bath relaxing her mind from all the things that had happened so far.

She was currently submerged in the huge bath in the Mansion. It felt great because she is physically and mentally tired right now after so much training.

"I need to practice this condensing technique so that I'll get better." Yuki sighed.

What she just wanted to do in this life is to protect her family which is Yumie and Katsumi, even though she cannot express her love because she is not used to doing something like that she still tries her best.

That's why she wants to get stronger quickly and possibly meet Serene again and properly thank her. Even possibly find the person that she wants to spend her life with, but that's not her concern right now.

What she wants is just to be strong and protect both of them.

"I will never lose my family again. Never." Yuki clenched her fist and closed her eyes for a moment thinking of her dear mother.

"If there's only a way, I swear to god I will kill you if I can go back to Earth," Yuki said coldly, she didn't realize that she was releasing bloodlust resulting in the water around her to start freezing.

Knock!!

The maid knocked on the door which caused Yuki out of her thoughts, she then stood up and covered her body with a towel.

"Dinner is ready Miss Yuki." She said while bowing, for a second she cannot stop herself from looking at Yuki. But she dared not to look at Yuki bluntly.

"Hmmm."

Yuki then walked past the maid and went straight back to her room to get dressed.

When she finished dressing up, she turned around and went straight to the Dining Hall.

The maid once again is amazed by Yuki's beauty, even with just some casual loose clothes it didn't hinder her beauty at all. It made her truly look like an unrestrained cold beauty.
