Chapter 10: Fight with the One holding the Dagger - A_Saint_Appears

Enshin watched from his laying position on the ground as Ruel easily dodged the attacks from Gin and Itsuwa.

He wanted to get up to help, but was in too much pain to even focus on using his ability - let alone getting up and trying to land a punch. He chalked it up to whatever moved Ruel had used seeing as the other two were able to still get back up and fight. He didn't like the feeling of being so weak he couldn't even get up, but knew it was useless to try and do something.

He turned his head to the other side to see the fox Zurui had sent with them and found that it resembled the kitsune in the color of its fur and eyes. Even the way it sat there and watched the fight continue reminded Enshin of how Zurui would watch him go online and find out new things he could never find out about at the shrine he once lived by.

"Hey...Fox...Can you go and find Zu...Bring them over here..."

The fox turned from the fight to the boy in front of it with focused eyes. It got up from its sitting position, walked over, licked Enshin's hand then quickly ran through the forest and towards the direction he knew Zurui and the others were.

"Hm...That little jerk...The fox really is part of him..." Enshin look towards the sky and let out a tired sigh. 'If these two are here...'

Back at the fight...

'These two are pretty strong. Well I guess I should expect this much from an Amakusa and a high level Esper.'

Ruel saw a fist coming for his face, but he easily grabbed it and flipped Gin over his head. He didn't have much time to dodge the spear headed for him, so he took the hit using his other arm.

He felt something sweep his feet, but used his right hand (the uninjured one) to land on the ground and spin his body to hit Itsuwa in the stomach and send her back. He continued the spin and kicked Gin, making him skid across the ground.

He stood up straight and looked around to see a good portion of the forest destroyed.

"I think that's enough. You guys were able to get some good hits on me, so you can be proud about that. No need to continue fighting. Not to mention I've learned enough of your attack patterns to know how to dodge all of your attacks.

"Hm. You say that, but...I haven't gone all out yet..."

Ruel turned to see Enshin standing up (although barely) and smirking at him. The older male was a little impressed that his opponent was able to stand with how badly he was hit.

"My ability has a secret tump card. Complete Copy." Enshin pulled an arcade coin out of his pocket and put it on his thumb. "Our #3's ability is called Railgun...since she can fire an arcade coin three times the speed of sound... My ability allows me to copy the same thing, provided I strain my body a little bit."

"Oh, really now? I would like to see that."

Not saying another word, Enshin flicked the coin into the air as some electricity started coming off his arm. As the coin fell back down, he flicked it with his thumb and the coin sped past Ruel's head, leaving an orange streak of light behind.

After a few seconds, Ruel was hit with a shockwave and stumbled back a little bit.

He looked behind him and saw the area was destroyed where the coin was fired. He let out a whistle and turned back to Enshin to see another coin in his hand.

"You can leave now or wait until everyone comes so you can face us all at once."

"Hm. Looks like my best bet would be to leave. I guess I'll see you people later."

With that, Ruel took his leave in a blur.

Enshin let out a sigh as he fell to the ground and laid back down. He looked up to see Gin and Itsuwa looking down at him.

"Wow. I didn't know you could do that with your ability, Senpai. That's amazing. Is your body okay, though?"

"Don't worry. I don't know if my ability can actually do that, but I'm just glad our little trick worked."

"Little trick?"

Enshin simply pointed to where the coin had hit and closed his eyes as he heard the shocked reaction from the two.

What had really happened was that Enshin used his ability in a small amount using smell to trick Ruel into thinking he really could use Academy City's #3's Railgun. What the others had seen was what they preceved as the Railgun of Tokiwadai, but in reality was simply Enshin flicking a yen coin forward a few inches away from him.

'It's a good thing I had a recording of the sound her Railgun makes...It added to the performance pretty well...Although...I doubt that even if I could fire a real Railgun he would be wary enough to leave...He just didn't want to stay here any longer...' Enshin let out another sigh and strained to open his eyes from the pain he was still feeling. "The others should be on their way right now. I sent the fox to go get them."

"That guy really is powerful..."

The two turned their heads to see that Itsuwa had her head down with a sad expression back on her face.

She felt that she was no help since all three of them had gotten pretty beaten up, but were only able to land minor hits on him. Even with all her spells, she couldn't do much against a single man that was outnumbered.

"It's fine. It just proves that Gin was right in saying he had Level 5 strength. Speaking of which..." Enshin turned his gaze towards his underclassmen and gave a stern expression. "I'm gonna need you on standby next time. When I can move again, I'm gonna contact the researchers so I can really go all out."

"What!? But what about the reprucutions!?"

"That's why I need you on standby. You're the only one around who knows what to do when I'm done."

Itsuwa looked between the two in confusion. It was to be expected though, not only were they from a completely different side from her own, but they had known each other longer and were involved with experiments, where as she had just met them.

"Don't worry, like you said before, you have your own combos with the other Amakusa," Enshin said, making Itsuwa look back down at him. "It's written all over your face. You should consider yourself lucky. Gin's really the only person I can do a strong combo with. Even with Zurui, or my roommate - who's also one of my best friends - I wouldn't be able to really let loose a powerful combo."

Seeing that she was still looking sad, Enshin let out a sigh and closed his eyes. He pulled the rest of his energy together and started whistling.

The sound spread out towards the area and made some small animals come out of hiding to stand around the three to listen to the soothing whistling. Some birds had even began singing along which made the who scene even more soothing.

The two other humans were also effect by the whistling and felt more relaxed. They felt as if some of their stress was gone and simply sat next to Enshin as he continued.

'Ruel Drawes...Would Mikoto even be able to go against him?... Gunha probably could...if he went all out...'

"Man~ Maybe I went a little overboard back there. I just wanted the kid out of the fight though..."

Ruel let out a sigh as he wrapped a bandage around his arm and leaned back against a tree. His other injuries were mostly healed or not too deep, so he didn't mind those. He was focused on the stab wound he had gotten from Itsuwa.

He hadn't bothered to block the attack since it didn't seem like much, but he didn't think he would lose as much blood as he had. He could admit the three had skills, but none of them were strong enough to actually take him on seriously.

'Still...Why did I see him when I looked at that kid?'

"'Look for the man who usually looks grumpy.' I guess that isn't too hard to find."

Ruel looked up to see an 18 year old girl with long black hair tied up in a ponytail that reached her hips. She wore a short white T-shirt tied into a knot at the bottom, revealing her navel and jeans with one side being cut very short. To finished it off, she had a two-meter-long nodachi at her hip.

Ruel couldn't help the small sigh that escaped his lips. He got ready for another fight, but in a very suddle way.

"And what does the Angelican Church want with me?" Ruel asked as he slightly shifted his body. "You guys haven't bothered with me this whole time, so what's the reason for you coming now, Kaori Kanzaki?"

"We have been told that you recently joined Dawn-colored Sunlight...If you were still on your own, we would have no reason to go after you, but since you joined them..." she put a hand on the hilt of her sword, "I must take you into custody."

"A saint. 'Be the salvation of those who cannot be saved.' That sounds great, it really does, but then..." Ruel got a dark look in his eyes, "That 'salvation' is not there when it's needed the most."

"..."

Kaori grabbed the hilt and got ready for a fight. She had been told that he wouldn't go all out right away, but that didn't seem to the the case here. She could easily say that it would take quite a bit to take him down without a death.

"I don't hold a grudge against you, or anything, I'm just saying that you can't always be 'salvation' for people."

"...What are you even doing in London? Even if you want knowledge, and even if those Espers are here for their presentations, you would have no reason to join that cabal. What is it that you are really after?"

"..." Ruel ran a hand through his hair and let out a sigh. "I'm here and joined Leivinia because I wanted to meet the Index Librorum Prohibitorum."

"What do you mean by 'meet' Index?" Kanzaki asked, slightly lowering her guard. "You wish to kidnap her?"

"No. Like I said, I just want to meet her. I want to ask her for her help. My own knowledge is still too low, so I wanted to meet the person who was able to read so many Grimories and memorize them all. I have no thoughts of taking her away."

Kaori felt that the man before her wasn't lying and felt strongly about the subject. She could tell that he was sincere in simply wanting to talk to her friend. Even with that in mind...

"She's not in London. As a matter of fact, she's not even in England anymore. She is now living in a different place. I am sorry, but you will now be able to speak with her." Kaori felt a little bad about saying it when looking at his face, but didn't hold anything back.

"Is that so? I guess I have no more reason to stay with Leivinia then." He looked at Kaori directly in the eyes with a serious express as he said, "But I can't leave her or her cabal. She reminds me of someone I know and I don't want something to happen to her. So, Kaori Kanzaki, if me staying with her means we fight, then..."

They both visibly got ready for a fight as they simultaneously said, "My magic name is-"

"Salvare000."

"Cognitio827."

'Lungs are still working. Hearing is fine. I smell something akin to cherry blossoms. I can still taste the mint I just had. I can see a bunch of idiots. And my limbs are moving as I want them to. Guess I really am fine to go all out.'

Enshin moved continued to do some stretches and heard pops and cracks. He was in his and Zurui's room with the kitsune not being in it.

After they had all regrouped, they took the three that fought back to the hotel, thinking it would be easier to use healing magic on them instead if sending them to a hospital. This seemed to work well as both Zurui and the Amakusa had helped. That being said...

'That idiot is still lost about all this magic stuff,' Enshin thought with a sigh. "I guess that's to be expected though."

He heard a knock on the door and told the person to come in. It was a worker who had come to deliver a letter to him. He said his thanks and read through the letter. When he was done reading it, he ripped it up and shook his head.

He left his room and went to the one across from him. He knocked a few time until the person inside opened it to show Musujime in more casual clothes. He could see Nisekoi pop her head up behind the redhead.

"Yeah. What do you want?" Musujime asked, putting a hand on her hip.

"I need your help. You ability is the best one I can think of for this," he said witha bored tone.

"And what's in it for me?"

"Our presentations can't go on until this guy is caught, so that's one thing. Others are money and I'll owe you one."

"Hm...I guess you're right about the presentation...Fine. But you better keep your word, or I'm teleporting a corkscrew into your head."

"Yeah, yeah. Just get your flashlight and corkscrews ready for later." He looked over her should and continued, "You too Nise-chan! I need the combo you and that other idiot kouhai can do."

"Yes, sir! Just leave it to Tetsu-kyun and Nise-chama!" She stood up straight and gave a salute.

He went over to the other two doors and asked for help from the other Espers. Gin and Tetsuya were easy enough to get, but it took both a bride and a blackmail for Enshin to get Saiai's approvel to allow Rikuo to join.

Afterwards he headed back to his room and fell on his bed. He let out a sigh as he flexed his fingers. He stared at the ceiling while thinking of his plan. He heard the door open and turned his head to see Zurui walk in with more casual clothes as well.

"I guess it's true when they say that a kitsune is tricky," Enshin said as he sat up. "It took me a while to figure out that little fox was a part of you."

"Well if you could tell from the start then that would mean I needed a lot more work with my deceiving abilities," Zurui said as he went to his bed.

"Look, I'm sorry for yelling at you before, but you brought up some bad memories with your questions." Enshin had a nonchalant expression, but was honestly sorry for his mistake earlier.

"I know. Gin told me that there are things you need to keep a secret. I'm sorry for bugging you."

"So, you gonna help later tonight?"

"Of course." Zurui put a hand on his stomach and moaned out, "Besides, I'm starting to feel a little homesick."

"Hm. My dorm room isn't even my actual home, so the fact that you feel homesick sounds funny," Enshin said with a smirk.

"Yeah, but there's also the fact that Rusty probably misses us too. There's also the fact that I still need to explore some districts of the city!"

"Alright, alright, calm down. By the way, you got any advice on how to deal with a magician?"

"Let's see...Has he said his Magic Name yet?" Zurui looked over and said that Enshin was giving him a 'what the hell are you talking about now' look as though this completely went over his head...Which it did. "Right...Haven't told you about it yet...Anyways! A magic name is normally the reason a person took up magic, or a dream they would give anything for. The real reason for one is mostly history now and is mainly used as a way to say that person is determined to kill their opponent. Although, this really only applies to Westerners. Me and my tails work differently than that."

"Interesting...So basically, when they say their magic names, a magician is going all out and using their full power...So what if those names weren't heard?..."

"What do you mean? Even if they aren't heard, the magics would still go all out to kill their opponent," Zurui said as he rubbed his face on his tails. "If a seal was released and no one was around to see it whatever was being held back would still be set free regardless."

"That's true, but what if the thing being held back wanted people to see it being released? If Ruel is the person I think he is...He wouldn't go all out if his opponent didn't hear his magic name. He would want to make sure they knew what they were in for." Enshin smirked as he pulled out his phone and looked as the time.

"So what's the plan?"

"Big Ben."

"Well here's a sight I didn't think I would see. Who the heck did you fight?"

"No one in particular. Neither of us died, but I don't think she could kill me even if she wanted to." Ruel walked past the girl that had her hands on her hips.

"Oh? So was it a saint?" Birdway asked as he walked next to him. She was amazed at the damage, but didn't make another comment on it.

Ruel was covered in cuts and had a few bruises here and there. He was holding his arm and had a limp. He was soaked in blood. He also had a large gash reaching from his right shoulder to his left hip and another one on his right side.

Birdway could see that some healing magic was used and that was how he was able to make it back. Even with all of this in mind, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of worry for the man. It was unusual for her to care about anyone but her sister and a certain someone from her past, yet she wanted to make sure that he would make a full recovery.

"Yeah. Apparently the Angelican Church is after me now because I joined you. I wouldn't be shocked if the knights were also after me." He felt himself start to wobble and fall to the side. He was caught and looked over to see Birdway holding him up. "Um...Now this is strange."

"Hm. You're a valuable asset to me and I might forget that you passed out in this hallway. I just want to make sure I don't lose your knowledge," the little girl said with a huff as she started walking with Ruel's arm around her shoulder. "But you're paying for the dry cleaning."

'Hm. That first part was kinda contradictory...' He took a glance at her and saw a familiar face, but with a simple dress and brown hair. 'I must be going crazy. That's the second time today...' He let a small smile grace his lips and he tried to put more weight on the side Birdway wasn't at.

QOTC: Would you rather be on the magic side or the science side?

And there you all go! I hope you all enjoyed! If you didn't then that just means I didn't do a good enjoy job.

So here's some trivia for you all. I ended up making Leivinia and Ruel closer than I had originally planned. Also, the latter half of this chapter was suppose to make up all of the next chapter, but that clearly got changed.

So yeah, this 'arc' will mostly likely end next chapter. On the upside it will be a pretty long chapter (I hope) and will get a good fight for you all...Hopefully.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED AND WILL CONTINUE TO READ! UNTIL NEXT TIME! Peace.
