Chapter 44 Playing tag with a Demon (1/2)
Alex headed straight for the place he planned to snipe from, the other members also started to do their own thing.
...
Rachel and Saya have teamed up as they dashed towards the hallway of the second years. This was the place where they saw Lyner run towards, and like they thought Lyner was there standing with a smug expression on his face.
”So it's you girls first let's see what you can do.” Lyner gestured with hands saying to bring it. Saya with an excited expression charged forward, Rachel backed her up by firing an arrow with a wooden head.
The arrow reached first, Lyner evaded it easily by tilting his head, butright after the arrow passed through, Saya swung her shinai downwards, Lyner once again simply evaded by moving one step backwards. Saya already knew he would do this so she threw a needle from her hands, Lyner tilted his whole body sideways to evade, but once he did this another arrow came flying towards him which made him sidestep. The girls didn't give him the chance to take a breather. Saya kept on pressing on her attack,s using her shinai and hidden weapons, with the support from Rachel they were doing quite well... Yet no matter how much they attacked they just couldn't hit Lyner who was now even yawning.
Finally Rachel was out of arrows, and Saya had no more needles to throw. Also even though the whole fight only lasted a few minutes Saya was now breathing heavily. The pressure Lyner was emitting in close range was immense which made it very difficult for Saya who was fighting him up close.
”You guys have good coordination, well good enough for little girls who live peaceful lives... That is except for you” Lyner looked at Saya. ”You seem to have your own share of experiences.”
Saya hearing Lyner's comment about her family's secret life smiled slyly, but she couldn't reply since she was so tired at the moment.
”You on the other hand seem more fit for hand to hand combat, based on the way you present yourself, so I'm confused as to why your using a bow...” Lyner looked at Rachel a bit confused. Rachel could only look elsewhere since Lyner's eyes seem like they could very well look into ones soul.
”Well I have seen enough of your abilities, so I guess it's good night for now.” Lyner moved suddenly, both Rachel and Saya saw him suddenly disappear from their sights.
Lyner was already behind Saya, and in front of Rachel. Lyner hit Saya on the back of her neck using a chop of his hand, with the exact force needed to render her unconscious. He was then about to do the same to Rachel when he suddenly evaded.
BANG!
Something pierced through the window, it was a 7.62x63mm bullet. 'The kid actually used a real bullet, heh... He's seriously trying to protect that girl.' Lyner smiled as he backed away.
