"WE HAVE MONEY!" yelled Subaru

The door was opened by a man, a giant with white hair. He looked old with a lot of experience in life.

"That's not the password kid" said the old man.

"We are here to negotiate" said Subaru

"Oh? Come inside"

Emilia and Subaru entered the loot house and sat down on the chair in front of the counter.

'This old man….he was the one who was bleeding with a knife cut on his neck' thought Subaru

"The name is Rom" said the old man now named Rom.

"Subaru, Natsuki Subaru"

"Emilia, just Emilia"

"Hmmm, so which item are you interested in?" asked Rom

"The one Felt is going to bring now" said Subaru.

"Ho? Do you know her?" asked Rom

"She is kinda famous in the market district you know"

"Ohhhh, and why do you need the insignia?"

"None of your business, old man"

"Haha, i completely understand"

Then suddenly someone entered the loot house, slamming the door open.

"I am back old man Rom" yelled Felt

But she raised her guard after she spotted Emilia in there.

"Argh…you found me? You really are troublesome huh?"

"The thing you stole is really important to me, I need that NOW" said Emilia.

"Ha lady, pay up if you want it back" said Felt with a smirk on her face

"OKAY, don't worry, Felt. I have something with me which might catch your interest" said Subaru while taking out his cell phone.

"Subaru, are you sure-" said Emilia but was interrupted by Subaru.

"It's okay. If you want you can repay me in kind later " said Subaru

Subaru showed off his phone by taking Felt's picture and showing them the photo.

"Hmm, a metia? It looks rare. It might fetch us around 20 holy gold coins, they some buyers may offer more than 30" said Rom by appraising the product

Felt, with a greedy look on her face and said "30? My client offered me 10 coins but let's turn this into a bidding war. She might be willing to us more"

"Huhh? Can't you just give it to us? We don't have much time here" said Subaru. Subaru was panicking. 'I don't want to deal with her…shit!'

"Neh, you either wait or you will not get the insignia " said Felt, clearly bored now for some reason.

Then, Subaru's focus shifted to something shiny behind Emilia.

"Puck! SHIELD"

An ice shield was formed behind Emilia's head protecting her from the incoming slash from the lady which Subaru feared.

"Ara, looks like you blocked my attack" said the seductive woman behind Emilia.

Felt recognized her and shouted "Hey, we supposed to be negotiating now, not kill each other?! What are you doing?"

"Our deal if off when the owner of the insignia is here" said the women while licking her lips

She attacked Emilia once again but was blocked again by an ice shield. Puck came out of the crystal and greeted the woman.

"Hello lady, my name is Puck. Remember that names because you are going to die now"

Emilia' contracted spirit started throwing projectiles at the woman at insane speed but she evaded all of them without a sweat.

'Think Subaru! Think! What can you do now? Use icicle thingy? But that's gonna exhaust my gate…how about just once crystal? Yep let's try it' thought Subaru

Subaru raised his hands and shouted "Random Bullshit GOO" A ice projectile aimed straight at the woman impaled her straight on the heart. There was a booming sound when it was launched too. 'Huh? It looked way more stronger than Puck's'

"Did you get her?" asked Old man Rom

"Arghh….don't say that you are gonna jinx-" said Subaru

"Ara, you got me. That's an impressive spell you got there boy" said the woman as she stood up without even a scratch on her chest.

'Huh? No way! I am sure I got her. I impaled her straight on the heart then did she…'

"Regeneration" said Subaru

'That's too OP! Seriously, after getting stabbed she just shrugged it off as if it was just a normal day at work! What the- oh'

"Hehehe" Subaru chuckled

"What's so funny? Boy" asked the woman.

"...COPY" yelled Subaru

If someone else other than Subaru looked at him, then they would have thought that he was frozen due to fear, but

Subaru was feeling a burning sensation…something was changing within his body. Af if the entire structure of his body was changing. He waited for few seconds and

"HAHAHAHAHA" laughed Subaru at the top of his lungs.

Everyone looked at him, worried and panic clear on their faces. 'Has he gone insane? Well, let's just kill him and check out his lovely guts~'

Elsa lunged and slashed, Subaru wasn't able to dodge and a deep cut on his bowel was made.

"AHHHHH" Subaru cried out loud and fell down onto the ground with a loud thud.

"SUBARU!" screamed Emilia. She wanted to rush over to Subaru and heal him but she was busy dealing with the assassin.

…..Subaru's wounds instantly healed 'woah! Now i have an OP ability damnn, but still IT DID HURT A LOT'

"Felt….." whispered Subaru so that it was only audible to Felt and no one else

"Big BRO! You are-"

"Shhhh"

"You are alive! I thought you were dead!" whispered Felt

"Felt…..you need to run!"

"What? I would never do that. I cannot abandon everyone and just run away-"

"You have to! Run and bring someone who is powerful enough to deal with Elsa, like that we will all be alive…now run! There is not even time left"

"Argh…fine i will go!"

Felt started running but the assassin spotted her

"Now now, I can't let you escape, can I?"

The woman threw a kukri knife at her which was deflected by a flying wooden plank. 'Huh? Who threw that wooden plank? The boy is most probably dead then who did that?' thought the assassin. Felt was able to escape and the assassin was pissed off.

"Now I am a little agitated. My name is Elsa, remember that name when you are in the after life" said the assassin now named Elsa.

There were a lot of wooden planks and pieces down on the floor which made footing a bit unstable. Emilia while shooting ice projectiles dodge a slash from Elsa but Emilia tripped which gave Elsa an opening. "Nice fighting you" said Elsa

She threw a kukri knife aimed at Emilia's heart. Emilia didn't notice the knife as she was trying to regain her balance. By the time she noticed it was too late.

The knife pierced through Subaru's heart. Subaru came running between the knife and Emilia and Subaru in the nick of time and was able to save her by taking the hit for her.

"Subaru?"

Subaru was just standing in front of Emilia…and a few seconds later collapsed.

"SUBARU! Subaru Subaru!" cried Emilia

"Ho? He was alive huh. I really like your hero attitude boy-"

Suddenly the roof of the loot house…..just blew up and someone landed. He had red hair, a white uniform and a fancy sword.

"Black hair, black dress and curved knives….you are Elsa Granhiert aren't you?"

"Ara, you know me? And you are the sword saint right?" Asked Elsa while looking at his sword and a seductive smile on her face.

"Yes, though I think I don't deserve such a title. My name is Reinhard Astrea of the Astrea family, and i am your opponent"

Reinhard tried to unsheathe his sword but didn't budge at all,

"Aren't you going to use your sword?" asked Elsa

"I can't, you are not deemed worthy by the sword" said Reinhard while picking up a rusted sword.

"Is that so? That's…..disappointing" said Elsa.

*In the background*

Subaru was on the floor and looked up only to find Emilia crying. Subaru lifted his hand and cupped Emilia's cheek.

"Dont cry" said Subaru

"Huh? Subaru! You are alive. Am I dreaming? Subaru-" asked a panicking Emilia

Subaru with the help of his other hand gripped the knife on his chest and pulled it out.

"AHHHHH" cried Subaru.

"Subaru! Stop! You are bleeding…a lot…you shouldnt move-"

But Subaru was already up and standing 'Damn, that hurts a lot'

Emilia was shocked and happy at the same time. His savior was alive. He was alive.

Emilia stood up and hugged Subaru tightly. "Subaru, Subaru, Subaru…."

'Eeeeeekkk' screeched Subaru in his thoughts

'She…she..is hugging me ahhhhhh' Subaru blushed, his face was red, redder than the reddest red. [heh]

"E…Emilia i am fine! I think we should go to that corner so that we can cuddle- I mean get out of Reinhard's fight" said Subaru, trying to maintain his composure.

"R..right! Sorry, i was just w…worried that's all" said Emilia, she too was a blushing mess.

They went to the corner of the loot house and witnessed the great battle between Reinhard and the pervert.

'I have to copy all the abilities I can see right now.'

Reinhard was wielding a rusty sword but he was using it perfectly without any wasted movements. He was parrying, attacking and dodging her attacks without a sweat.

'Can I copy their sword style? Lets try'

"Copy" Subaru whispered

Subaru started getting a burning sensation and something came up in his mind

Divine protection of the War God

Elsa threw a Kukri knife which just deviated and missed Reinhard completely.

"Copy"

Divine protection of Arrow Evasion

Elsa started hopping around the loot house at insane speed and attacked Reinhard who just disappeared and appeared again, but out of Elsa's range of attack.

"Copy"

Divine protection of Swiftness

"I think it's time to end this," said Reinhard. He raised his sword which started growing brightly and slashed it vertically and lit up the entire room engulfing Elsa with it.

The entire loot house was destroyed due to the attack and Elsa was nowhere to be seen. Old man Rom and Felt entered the destroyed house. Subaru and Emilia also walked towards Reinhard.

"Those are some insane abilities man" said Subaru

"Haha, those are my divine protection. And weren't you stabbed in the heart?" Asked Reinhard

Subaru started sweating bullets 'what should i say? Should i just reveal it?'

"Uhh….i uh..have hyper Regeneration…...hehe" said Subaru, sweating a lot.

"Oh? That's a rare ability you have, mister..."

"Subaru, Natsuki Subaru. Just call me Subaru"

"Excuse me" said Felt "here"

She showed the insignia to Emilia and said "sorry for stealing it, you should make sure that no one steals it again heheh"

When Reinhard saw the glowing insignia, his eyes widened and immediately caught her hand, and asked "what's your name? Age? Family name?"

"H..huh? My name is Felt and i think i am 15, i don't have anything like a family name"

Felt started resisting and old man Rom tried to stop the knight but he just collapsed after Reinhard drained his mana. The same was done to Felt.

"I am sorry Lady Emilia but I cannot overlook the crime here. I will be taking Lady Felt with me" said Reinhard

"Uhh..uh okay but don't be too harsh on her okay?" Said Emilia

"Right, and please take Subaru with you" said Reinhard and left the loot house

Emilia turned around and saw that Subaru was….on the floor, unconscious.

"SUBARU" screamed Emilia
