Chapter 50: When And How

Days?: Fight And Flight! Part 2

(Vale: Vale City: Unknown Rooftop)

As for the disguise for my alias as the Sword Devil. A black overcoat over my shoulders as if it were a cape, fluttering behind me whenever I've been in combat. A red button-down dress shirt and black pants. Along with a black toe steel boot, with a white [Smiling Mask] engraved with [Rune] to place an illusion to change my hair color to black and eye color to red, along with other neat features.

Pretty much make me look like a relative to a pair of twin of the Branwen Tribe. Not that some people actually thought it was the case, with both Raven and Qrow tried to see if I was really related to them.

Since it looks like in this world; people with black hair and red eye are very rare. Plus, using a [Sword] with or without in a mecha-shift form weapon also look like a common theme in the Branwen or something like that.

Nonetheless, as Sword Devil. I didn't use a regular [Sword], but something special. A [Rune Nihi Sword], which was originally a [Nihi Sword] before I engraved a few [Rune] into it, where it changed into a [Rune Nihi Sword].

[Item Type]: [Magical Sword|Nihi Weapon(Persona Slot): None]

[Name]: Rune Nihi Sword

Durability: 100%/100%[500%/500%] (Weapon)| 0%/100% (Fusion Duration)

Quality: Legendary

Grade: A

Value: (Cannot be sold to [Persona System])

Description: A [Nihi Weapon] in the form of a crimson [Katana] and still waiting for a [Persona] to be sealed within its to release its true potential to the world. Also, someone engraved multiple [Rune] onto this very [Nihi Weapon], giving it some special effects.

[Persona Container]: The ability to hold a [Persona] within it and a small chance to use the contained [Persona]'s powers.

[Rune: Regrowth]: Reform itself by harvesting from outside resources, depending on the quality and the types of resource to be used

[Rune: Sharpen Enhancement]: Channeling aura through this [Nihi Weapon] would increase the sharpness for better cutting power

[Rune: Durability Enhancement]: Increasing the toughness of this [Nihi Weapon] even more than it already is

To get this [Nihi Weapon]; I had to exchange a [Persona] and [500000 System Points] for just a single one. So yeah, not going to get another one anytime soon. Thankfully, I get the option to pick the default form of the [Nihi Weapon] and what type of a weapon, which I choose the [Sword] type as the [Nihi Weapon].

The [Persona] I gave up happened to be a [Kelpie], the supernatural water horse that haunts rivers and lakes, where it's said to lure mortals into the water, specifically young children, into drowning so it can eat them. Yeah, once I got this [Persona], it tried to eat me whenever it got the chance to. So once I got enough [System Point] to purchase the [Nihi Weapon] and find out what else to pay for it. This [Kelpie] was the first thing to come to my mind and gave it up instantly.

Sure, I could have used [Kelpie] as ones of the [Persona] in the [Fusion System] to gain a new [Persona] out of it, but after a few tests run in the past and the hidden feature. I discovered that some traits besides [Skill/Magic] are merged into the newly formed [Persona]. So yeah, I rather not have the chance of a much more powerful [Persona] have the desire to eat me at the time.

Now, the reason I'm using a [Rune Nihi Weapon] instead one of the many [Swords] Shigure crafted for me to use for my new [Sword Style] I recreated upon reaching the [Master Rank]. It's because I need an advantage over people with their semblance and mecha-shift weapons by using this with pure [Sword Mastery].

Checking my [Rune Nihi Weapon] to see if there anything wrong with it, just to be on the safe side, then put it back in its [Sheath].

Afterward, I glance over the area and I take out my scroll to check on the others, where Pyrrha was the one I called to see if everything is ready and the replies I got back was positive. As everything at their end is good to go and it's my time to start the show.

I put away my scroll and look down at my [Rune Nihi Weapon], the main weapon of Sword Devil and also the second alias to be created. Looking back; I knew that I was meant to always be alone in the path of bloodshed, to always bring destruction to everywhere I go. With each step, there shall be another corpse to lay before me.

Closing my eyes as I take a deep breathe, then open my eyes and jump off the Roof and use aura enhance to increase a bit of my strength as I place my left feet on the wall for a split second to launch myself straight towards the popular area.

(Vale: Vale City: Unknown Street)

A crater formed before my feet at the moment my feet made contact with the ground. Sending rocks and dirt scatter everywhere. As the civilians around the place started screaming in a panic and running away from me. Leaving only to those that are injured by my landing or the hidden Hunters watching for any danger, with the soldiers taking action first upon seeing this.

[Advanced Detection Mastery] allows me to see the paths of all the [Bullet] rushing towards to me and with [Master Evasion Mastery] giving me the endless paths for me to escape this.

With a quick draw of my [Rune Nihi Sword] to either send the [Bullet] back to their owners or just send to a different direction and see what gets hit by a stray [Bullet].

Of course, I made sure to minimize my movement to conserve my stamina while maximizing the movement of my [Rune Nihi Sword] to the best of my ability.

"IT THE SWORD DEVIL! RUN!" I heard one of the cowards cried out to everyone and run along with the civilians away from here.

I bend my knees, to get ready for one of the brave, but foolish Hunters coming at me with a heavy strike of their [Battle Axe], with a build in [Gun] on the back of the blade part, to give an extra kick into an overhead strike.

I wasn't dumb enough to waste my aura to block this heavy strike and instead, spin my whole body until only the Hunter's [Battle Axe/Gun] past my back and land onto the ground, causing the ground to split apart.

Flipping the [Rune Nihi Sword] in a reverse grip and thrust the tip straight at the Hunter's neck, where they lean back to avoid my thrust and return with their own counterattack.

Where their [Battle Axe/Gun] was just a few seconds still stuck to the ground, then appear next to the back of my neck the next second later. Intending to cut my head off the rest of my body, but why would I give them the satisfaction of doing so?

With just a quick spin to make me face the enemy Hunter while briefly letting go of the handle of my [Sword] and grasp it right after, then perform a downward slash toward their right wrist, causing them to back off instantly.

As people already gained intel on the type of [Sword] I use and was a little surprise the [Nihi Sword] has a hidden [Anti-Aura] effect on them; well, maybe due to the [Rune] I placed on it had caused it to work like an [Anti-Aura Weapon]. Because I haven't used the [Nihi Sword] before placing [Rune] on them.

So everyone that stupid enough to not avoid getting cut by my [Rune Nihi Sword] will get a nasty cut.

So seeing the enemy moving away wasn't that unexpected, then I twist my hand to turn the [Rune Nihi Sword] to the side, as I send out a horizontal slash to my right, where I parry away the next attack by another Hunter.

'So far, so good.' I thought to myself, as I continue stalling for the others to get picked up by Luna while trying to cause more panic on this side. And the way more soldiers and Hunters are coming right at me. I would have to say I'm doing a good job of drawing more people to my location while taking the pressure off the others.

Usually, I would leave the Hunters alone due to them being the protectors against the grimm themselves, but I don't have the luxury to spare the effort to not cripple them or accidentally kill them.

So seeing one of the Hunter; well, former Hunter as their days of being one is over after I slice off one of their arms from the rest of their body, causing them to shriek in pain and horror.

A quick smack of my [Sheath] to their head, knocking them out cold had silenced them. Much to the relief of my ears and the faunus.

"Come now." I said to through my [Smiling Mask] with a build in voice changer, "I haven't gotten serious yet. Don't keep me hanging." I tried to sound bored to everyone, which was just a bit true. After all, I haven't used [Accelerator] with my [Master Sword Mastery] yet. Yup, [Accelerator] is the main [Persona] I use with Sword Devil to manipulate the vectors of my very own body.

With a quick swipe of the ground with my [Rune Nihi Sword] to bring up a few chuck of dirt and rocks in front of me. Then a smack with the [Sheath], to send them flying towards the Hunters, with long distance weapons. Forcing them to stop firing for a moment after getting a little dirt in their eyes and others getting hit in the forehead by rocks.

Coating my [Rune Nihi Sword] with aura to protect it from being damaged, which was a neat trick I discovered by accident, where I could actually prevent my weapons from being damaged by coating it with my own aura. Creating an aura shield for my weapon while still allowing it to still work as a weapon.

And place my [Rune Nihi Sword] in front of me to stop one of the Hunters from slicing me in half with their [Great Sword], that doesn't have any [Gun] parts attached to it. Showing that it's just a regular old [Great Sword] instead of being a fusion weapon or mecha-shift weapon. Unless it's a hidden mecha-shift that is.

There was a bit of pressure behind the Hunter's overhead strike by using their [Great Sword], but I could tell they already using aura enhance to increase their strength further than it should. But, was still not enough to force me to my knee.

It's a good thing I always turn off both [Seal Version: Resistance Gear: Tier 9] and [Seal Version: Gravity Weight: Tier 5] whenever I use Sword Devil or before I go into a major fight later. After all, if I still have those two on during a critical battle. I would have to blame it on myself for being arrogant.

Then, I channel my aura throughout my [Rune Nihi Sword] while still coating to give it own personal aura shield while activating one of the [Rune] for [Sharpen Enhancement]. As the [Great Sword] beginning to cut through due to the pressure the wielder trying to overpower me with their strength, but instead of getting their [Great Sword] damage beyond repair by getting cut in the very middle.

"Idiot! You forgot about how sharp that [Katana] of his!" One of the other Hunters shouted towards the [Great Sword] wielder Hunter, causing them to back off immediately upon losing the upper half of their [Great Sword], which I use as a projectile and send it straight back at the owner of this upper half of a [Great Sword] with a strong kick to the non-blade part. Making it spin while flying towards the [Great Sword] wielder Hunter.

Not bothering to check if it hit or not, as I deploy [Eagle Pulse] and position myself to prepare against the next set of attacks coming my way.

Finally, I use [Accelerator] to manipulate the vector around my body to increase my speed without having to waste too much of my aura to do so, where aura enhances is pretty much limited to how much I could enhance before losing control. But, with [Accelerator], he could calculate what needs to enhance and when it's required by manipulating the vector instead.

Multiple slashes around me; and all the Hunters with melee weapons are turned into scrap metals upon being cut to countless times and soldiers end up getting a [Bullet] wound due to me sending their [Bullet] straight back at them.

So far, I haven't even moved away from this crater I created from my landing. The only things that show that I moved were taking a few steps away from my original spot, then back to it. As I continue cutting down, be it Hunters with their weapons in melee form or fixed form while using them as a meat shield against the soldiers, whose continue to rain [Bullet] at me.

As the time goes by; multiple bodies scatter throughout the street and most of them are those soldiers without their aura unlocked, where they actually rely on their body armors, which didn't last that much, while the Hunters I continue trying to cripple them or just knock them out long enough for the battle to be over by the time they wake up.

After all, some of these Hunters have semblance that is much too dangerous to my discomfort. So, I try to deal with them as soon as possible rather than allow them to take me down due to my lack of preparation against these kinds of semblance. Hell, one of those semblances happens to be [Gravity Manipulation], but in a lesser grade of my [Gravity Magic].

Was a bit of a shocker to find myself floating above the ground a few feet, causing me to lose my center of balance for like 5 seconds. Making this little opening for all them to take advantage of.

Of course, I use [Accelerator] to instantly stabilize my [Gravitational Force] even while I'm still floating in midair. By brutally thrusting my [Sheath] to the ground and use it a temporary small platform for me to anchor myself. Much to the dismay of the others. But, keep on continuing their attacks on me.

I've no clue how long this has been going and slowly, but slowly, I've started to enjoy the intense battle I'm having with these people. I don't care about if they are a Vale Kingdom's citizens or not. All of them are here for me to train my [Master Sword Mastery] further.

I have deflected who know how many [Bullet] and [Dust Rounds] while continue parrying away multiple Hunters trying to bash my head in or tries to cripple me by slicing off a limb or two.

Or maybe they're trying to kill me? I block a fatal strike to my neck, with a quick spin back kick to their chest, launching them straight back to the others. 'Yeah, they're trying to kill me.' I thought to myself. As I feel the [Gravitational Force] returning back to normal and did a backflip while grabbing the [Sheath] at the same time.

Then, return my [Rune Nihi Sword] back into its [Sheath], and with a flick of my right hand to the ground. As I throw a bunch of [Smoke Bombs], causing the whole area cover in smoke and panic through the army of Hunters and soldiers. Mostly to those that are unfamiliar in a smoked battlefield.

[Eagle Vision] was deployed the very moment the smoke appear and I look for a path to escape the street and towards the forest. Since I got the feeling I gather enough time for the others to leave Vale while drawing the attention towards this area by using my alias as the Sword Devil.

'Yeah, I may be able to face an army of Hunters, but including the soldiers and their high tech gears. That's just pushing my very limit and I know for sure, these soldiers have some special weapons just for me. I rather not risk it than I've already done.' I thought with extra cautions. Where I don't place too much effort into the fights and more into stalling and increasing my speed and reflex on getting the hell out of here.

After all, Sword Devil is also known as someone who causes trouble just for the hell of it and runs off afterward while trying to escape anyone trying to capture him for the bounty placed on his head for killing countless people and ruining so many people's careers as a Hunter by crippling them.

So yeah, Sword Devil doesn't have many fans throughout the whole Four Kingdoms. With a selected few members of the Arcana know about my alias as Sword Devil and the reasons why I perform so much bloodshed when I could just knock them out.

But, I still held myself back a few times when the situations call for it. Like the current one, I'm in. Usually, I would massacre all the Hunters and soldiers to pull in more attention towards me. But, after getting the update on Atlas' latest weaponry brought to Vale to support them. Yeah, I'm not messing with those as Sword Devil.

Sword Devil is many things, but he is not a stupid person, who would fight a losing battle. So, I rather escape than face the new model of the [Paladins] they brought to Vale this last night. And I'm just glad they still haven't finished setting up the new [Paladins] before activating them.

20 minutes later*

So far, I had to hide by using [Shadowless Evasion Art] and trying my best not to draw the wrong crowds, which I find myself thinking it was too late and wanted to not bring in any more than there already are.

Furthermore, there some lucky hits from Hunters and soldiers just throwing attacks everywhere just to draw me out. But, [Accelerator] had its cover and made sure those lucky hits were redirected to somewhere else.

But, the crowds, I didn't want to go up against at the moment. Are those with [Detection] based semblance. If it wasn't for [Shadowless Evasion Art], then I would have been found in a matter of minutes.

Of course, there was a few Hunters and soldiers I've read their profile from the intel Izaya and Momoyo gathered before coming to Vale. Let's just say, I rather not have them alive and end them as soon as possible, which I gladly did by decapitating them while I'm on the run, with [Shadowless Evasion Art] still activated.

Addition to this, I accelerate myself through manipulating the vector to give me a further boost in speed, reflex, and strength. So even those with [Detection] based semblances wouldn't be able to see the moment I decapitate someone. Not even the afterimage of my [Rune Nihi Sword] is shown, with [Shadowless Evasion Art] hiding it as well. Making it much harder for the others to react to this display before their very eyes.

At a time like this, I should be aiming to kill everyone to weaken the defence of the Vale Kingdom against outside forces. But, seeing how Pyrrha and Weiss are still coming back here for the rest of their years at the Beacon Academy. This pretty much makes it harder to not kill everyone. Nonetheless, I tried my best only to kill those that I can't leave alive at all cost. While leaving the rest alive to defend the kingdom.

If I didn't make it known for Sword Devil to not stick around too long after not getting a good challenge, then with me escaping the place would cause multiple problems by now. Not there weren't any problems in the first place.

20 minutes later*

(Vale: Vale City: Unknown Forest: Temporary Docking Area)

Once I exit the City, I quickly switch back to my original outfits and out of the Sword Devil's outfits, then activate [Moonlight Step] to catch up with the others before it's time for them to take off. Since it will take them some time to pack everything up in the Airship.

Luckily, I stall long enough for the others to get everything ready and with me barely making it on time. If I haven't made it, then I would have to go with plan B, which was me resort to stealing an Airship to catch up.

But, since I managed to arrive at the destination point just a few minutes to spare. I'm pretty much good and wouldn't have to use plan C if plan B failed on me.

"Em!" Pyrrha shouted out loud once she saw me coming in fast, causing others to pause for a moment to look in my direction due to Pyrrha's shouting.

"Holy crap! You're so fast!" Ruby shouted in surprise once she just notices me appearing right next to her, right after Pyrrha announce my presence to everyone.

Not that I blame her since I mostly use [Moonlight Step] for three purposes; One: to counter the [Limiter Seal]. Two: Increase my base physical aspect. Three: Long distance travel when I don't have a [Vehicle] to use at the time or don't have the right one for the situation.

By using [Moonlight Step] for long distance travel, where instead of just being covered in a pale blue light. I became a pale blue blur towards everyone upon the sight of me passing by them. It's similar to Ruby's semblance once she goes full speed, where she creates petals of rose upon her path.

And only a few people here managed to see me before I appear right next to Ruby, who was the second one to catch the sight of me right after Pyrrha did.

"I'm sure you're faster than me, if what Weiss told me about you." I said to Ruby, as I pick up one of Pyrrha's luggage and help her carry it inside the Airship.

Ruby hearing this, quickly zone in her target: Weiss, with eyes filled with stars of happiness. Upon hearing that her partner had been talking about her and something good as well if she could pick up a few hints of what Pyrrha's older brother just said to her.

(Vale: Vale City: Luna's Personal Airship)

"You sure took your sweet time getting here." Luna came out of the Pilot Room and look at me with a cold stare, which just her default expression and spoke in a dull tone. Like we're not on a tight schedule to get out of Vale at the moment.

I snort at Luna, "You try to cause a scene in the middle of the City, then stall long enough for reinforcement to arrive and afterward, rushing back here without getting any unwanted followers pursuing you."

Luna didn't look like she cared if I made it back here or not by the look of it, and to further to make this point.

"Sorry, I'm not a fighter. I'll leave it to you, but do make sure not to cause your little sister any problem by revealing who you are. I rather not have my client be stressed out by having such a hothead for an older brother and a twin at that." Luna didn't look like she cares about my well being, but more with Pyrrha instead. Not that I blame her since technically Pyrrha's daily life could be thrown into a mess if my identity was leaked to the public.

Luckily, team RWBY and JNPR, not including Pyrrha and Weiss, don't know my other identities and are too far away to hear what Luna is saying. Besides knowing that I'm a criminal and Blake the only one among her team besides Weiss, that know only one of the many aliases I created over the years.

Sadly, Pyrrha and Weiss had to pick Manipulator as the one the aliases to give Blake on a small insight of who I am. Not that I'm not mad at them for picking that one, but it was a well-known alias throughout the Four Kingdoms, not just Mistral Kingdom.

Nonetheless, I could easily tell both Pyrrha and Weiss wanted to make sure Blake don't do something she would really regret for the rest of her life.

As for Yukiko and Narberal; they don't know much about me besides a few things that Pyrrha and Momoyo mention to them during the time they speak among each other while my presence wasn't with them at the time.

"Whatever. When are we taking off?" I didn't want to argue with Luna, when we're on a tight schedule and wanted us to leave Vale as soon as possible.

"In 5 minutes after everyone's stuff are inside the Airship. You're lucky I'm taking my personal Airship instead of the register ones belong to my family or else we would have some unwanted visitors." Luna informs me that if she hasn't taken her personal Airship crafted for her own usage, where all Mapiya's important members possess their own unregistered Airships, then we would have been detected by the Vale Kingdom's Air Defense System and would have been questioned on why a Mapiya came here.

"Alright." I said to Luna, then walk inside, where Pyrrha who was silent this whole time follow me inside and once the others are out of sight. Pyrrha rushed over to me and give me a happy hug as she was worried for my safety, even when she knows I can take care of myself and know when to retreat in the face of a life-threatening danger.

"I'm glad you're safe." Pyrrha whispers to me, then pulls me into one of the seats near the windows, with me seating next to one.

"Of course, I'll be safe." I pull Pyrrha into a one arm hug, which she gladly returns by moving a bit closer to me as she lay her head on my left shoulder. "I still have them to help me out if things go bad." I made sure to hint Pyrrha about my [Persona], where she clearly knows who they are. Doesn't mean Pyrrha still not worry, when my [Persona] relies on how much my aura is left to summon them in the first place.

It's a good thing I purchased the feature from the [Extra Feature], that allows me to restore my aura reserve to full upon giving up some [System Point] in exchange.

"I know, but what happens if you don't have enough time to summon them?" Pyrrha asked with a concern in her voice while making sure to lower her tone down, when the others are entering the Airship.

Ruby and Yang were the first one to enter, with Blake and Jaune following behind. Then, Yukiko and Narberal next, with Weiss and Izaya coming in afterward. Lastly, Ren and Nora, who look too excited that we're on a highly dangerous mission, where everyone could hear what's Nora saying to Ren.

And by the look on Ren's face, I would have to say he is dying to sit down and continue listening to Nora speaking more random stuff, then back to the mission on how we're going to make Weiss the heiress to the Schnee family once more.

"So, what's Atlas like, Weiss?" Ruby asks her partner/co-leader of team RWBY as she takes a seat next to Weiss, with Izaya sitting on the other side of Weiss, which happen to be next to the window of the left side section.

"It's mostly a cold place to live in. Not that it's hard to get used to the cold weather in my opinion." Weiss begins off telling Ruby about what kind of her home kingdom is like. Also, explaining to the young Huntress-in-training about a few strict rules applied to those lived in Atlas, along with other unwritten rules for higher class status people.

few minutes later*

Shigure came out of the Pilot Room and sit next to Pyrrha, who was getting very comfortable in her seat, with me scratching the top of her head, causing Pyrrha to blush a little.

"So, did Luna tell you when we are heading off and how long until we reach Atlas?" I ask Shigure while continuing scratching the top of my little sister's head, who is starting to pant for some reason and wonder if I should worry for this, but couldn't say anything with others' presences nearby. Too close now for me to whisper a question to Pyrrha without being overheard.

Furthermore, Pyrrha's hands are going near someplace I feel a bit too uncomfortable for me, along with thoughts I rather not have that related to Pyrrha. And the way Shigure staring at us, with a small blush on her cheeks to show she knows what's going on thanks to the books she has been reading, was not helping my case.

If anything, I would have thought Shigure would be stopping Pyrrha from doing something, that should not be done with other people nearby and only Shigure's body blocking the views is just a small mercy at my end.

Instead, Shigure looks like she enjoying what Pyrrha is doing and eager to see how this play out.

"Uh, Shigure. About the time?" I remind my fiancee, who a bit busy fantasizing something dirty at the moment, then snap out of it upon hearing me, which lead to Shigure's small blush to grow.

Shigure didn't look at way after being caught by me, but I could tell Shigure breathing a bit more deeply and after a whole minute. The Airship took off, causing a few shouts of excitement from the others.

"Around a week." Shigure finally answers as she gulps a little and closes her legs together, with her hands on her lap while trying her best to block the others from seeing what's going at my side of the seats.

Pyrrha hasn't tried to stop, even when I'm trying to stop her from doing so. Furthermore, the way Pyrrha look at me shows she not in the right mind at the moment.

Now, I was wondering what made Pyrrha like this and wonder if perhaps Pyrrha may have taken something that stimulates sexual desire at some point today or yesterday and it took some time to affect Pyrrha, but I'm not willing to think it's the latter.

'Just what happens to Pyrrha while I was gone?!' I started to sweat at the way Pyrrha going a bit more forceful now.

Omake: Overprotected Siblings!

As the time goes by, where students of the Sanctum Academy continue their lessons in the many classrooms. Along with a few students and staffs are having free time during their assigned schedule.

However, there are some rare cases of just two students of different genders meeting up in a crowd less area. Furthermore, these two students happen to enter puberty phrase a year now, with the boys getting interesting in the other gender and same with the girls.

Right now, the girl happens to be Pyrrha Nikos, who currently 12 and in her second year of the Sanctum Academy. And at this very moment, the boy, who is around 11-13 years old, is trying to confess his love for Pyrrha.

Sadly, for the poor lovestruck boy and soon to be heartbroken. As both the boy and Pyrrha weren't alone as they thought to be. Because Pyrrha's older twin brother happens to be close by this whole time, without getting noticed by the two.

As the next few seconds, before the boy could even make any sense to Pyrrha, who is a bit lost on what's going on, but have a gist of the boy in front of her trying to say to her.

But, wouldn't be able to due to Enma appearing right behind the boy by dropping from his hiding place, which happens to be one the second-floor empty classrooms just above the meeting between Pyrrha and the boy trying to confess.

As Enma chop the back of the boy's neck, knocking the male student out cold. Pyrrha didn't even look surprised at all in the first place.

"So I lost count after last year. So, what the number now?" Enma asks his younger twin sister, who still have a polite smile on her face.

"Including this one. 54 this year." Pyrrha replied in a cheerful tone since she happy not to deal with her one of her not so secret hidden countless admirers, among of those that brave enough to confess their love for her, but end up getting captured by her older brother and afterward. They no longer go near her if they have to, but still kept on looking at her with eyes filled with love and a hint of sadness.

"Hmm. I guess I have to put some more effort this year." Enma mumble to himself, where Pyrrha giggle to herself and lash onto her older brother's left arm and look at Enma, with a happy smile.

unknown time skip*

"You know, I could understand Enma being overprotected over Pyrrha, but I wonder why no girls approach him? I mean, he not ugly at all, with Pyrrha being his twin and all." A random male student said to the others around them.

A nearby female student, who happens to overhear the male student and walk over to say something, "There is a reason why we don't dare approach Enma Nikos, even if it's required in a group project." The female student look at her female friends around her.

"It's true. If it wasn't for his little sister, then I would have gladly asked Enma out anytime." Another female student said in a whisper while continuing to look around for Pyrrha's appearance, but Pyrrha was nowhere in their sights, causing them to sigh in relief.

"How does Pyrrha involve with this? She's a sweet girl, not like her scary brother. Do you have any idea what he did to my one of my friends? He just wanted to ask Pyrrha to the dance and got kidnapped by Enma the moment he finished asking. And we didn't hear from my friend until the next day. Also, he never the same after Enma is done with him." The same male student said to the female student, and to the others, with the male students nodding in agreement.

"You think that's scary. At least your friends return. With Pyrrha, she makes sure her target actually move out of this Floor Area and never return. Why do you think last year there were 40% fewer girls than the previous years here at the Sanctum Academy?" The first female students said to the male students, with her female friends agreeing with her.

"I just thought they quit due to how hard the subjects here." The male students begin to think maybe both the Nikos twin are scary, but that didn't stop them from dreaming about Pyrrha, along with other hot girls. Not that they will voice their thoughts out loud, where there are some of those said girls among the female students in front of them.

Before either side could say anything further, their topic of the Nikos twin happens to be behind the male students. And Enma being the one that interrupts them, "Hey, what's going on, to cause a crowd to form?"

Instead of an answer to his question; all the male students shouted in a panic and scatter to all the directions, with the female students follow their example, due to Pyrrha's presence next to her brother and happen to be releasing a bit of killing intent as she heard one of the female students confessed that she would have asked Enma out.

Luckily, Enma was too busy doing an inner monologue at the time, to overhear this little confession, which Pyrrha is happy for once that her older twin brother has this type of habit. Making her job much easier for her, to get rid of any obstacles to her goal.
