Chapter 15
Leona and Negi were fighting with Akuro and Takeshiro who seemed to be winning.
"Is this the best you can do, brats?" Akuro smiled amused.
"One is very fast and the other one dominates fire magic, if we don't think about something, we will not be able to deal with them." Negi thought as he was defending himself against Takeshiro's attacks.
"Ice arrow!" Leona shouted, sending several arrows of ice towards Akuro who dodged easily, went quickly towards Leona and began to exchange blows.
"That is all? Seriously," Akuro smiled, raising an eyebrow. "I don't understand why he wants us to take you." Akuro said, in one of the blows, Leona blocked him with her arms crossed, but was pushed by Akuro's strength and she went flying through the air and crashed into one of the trees.
"Leona!" Negi said worried, looking at her.
"You should worry about you, Fire Ball!" Takeshiro shouted, sending a fireball towards Negi.
"Deflexio!" Negi created a defensive shield of wind in front of him, the ball of fire hit the shield, but from the strength that the fireball had hit it, the shield broke and pushed Negi sending him where Leona was.
"You can't against us, well, it doesn't surprise me because we are from the elite, for us this is just a children's game, ha! Ha! Ha! "Akuro laughed with arrogance.
"We'll see that!" Leona said with an expression of annoyance. "This is not over!" Leona said, getting up from the ground.
"Leona, wait." Negi said, grabbing her arm so that she hadn't to face them.
"What's wrong, Negi?"
"What he wants is to provoke us."
"Then, he is getting it." Leona said, looking at Akuro who kept laughing.
"We will not get anything if we attack without thinking," Negi looked at her. "I'm sure we can beat them."
"What's wrong, are not going to come and attack us?" Takeshiro asked.
"This is what we are going to do, you are going to face Takeshiro and I'm going to face Akuro." Negi whispered at her.
"I'm not against it but... What I'd like to do now is hit that dude." Leona looked at Akuro seriously.
"I know, but remember what master said, there are times when you have to calm down and see your opponent's attacks, because otherwise you are a target constantly for who you face." Negi whispered, looking at Leona with seriousness in his eyes. "If you let yourself be carried away by their provocations, you will not get anything."
"You're right," Leona put a hand on her head while lifting her bangs up a bit. "Okay, we'll do what you say." she nodded.
"Do we have to go attack you?" Akuro tilted his head a little. "Or are you saying goodbye?" Akuro said, putting a hand on his waist, suddenly, Negi went towards him.
"Fulguratio Albicans!" Negi shouted, casting a spell that delivered an intense electrical attack on Akuro.
"But what- Tsk." Akuro growled, crossing his arms to defend himself while the spell hit him.
"Akuro!" Takeshiro shouted, seeing that Akuro had been attacked. "It doesn't matter, what's the difference if you change your opponent, the result will be the same!" Takeshiro looked at Leona, suddenly, Leona disappeared and appeared in front of him, hitting him in the face and sending him away.
"What did you say?" Leona said, with a serious look on her face.
"Heh... All right, let's see what you're capable of, human freezer." Takeshiro smiled, rising from the ground.
"Because you don't stop talking and you come at once, walking stove." Leona said, putting herself in attack position.
"Fire Ball!" Takeshiro shouted, throwing a fireball again.
"Ice Ball!" Leona shouted, throwing the same attack, but instead of fire, it was ice, the two spells were collided and eliminated each other. "It's not going to be that easy."
"This is balanced..." Kamo murmured, watching the fights from the branch of a tree.
"Very good, brat." Akuro said annoying. "I don't care if you're the one who faces me now, you're going to lose." Electric Arrows!" Akuro shouted, throwing several electric arrows at Negi.
"Sagitta Magica Series Lucis!" Negi shouted, throwing several electric arrows towards Akuro's, the arrows collided each other creating an explosion, and smoke.
"Instant movement." Negi thought, quickly moving behind Akuro. "Kyuuho chuuken!" Negi hit Akuro hard in the stomach, making him back a few meters.
"Tsk." Akuro said with an angry expression with one hand on his stomach from the blow. "Lightning Bolts!" Akuro shouted making several lightnings appear around Negi.
"Flans Paries Aerialis!" Negi created a defensive wind spell stronger than Deflexio, Akuro's attack hit Negi's barrier, causing quite a lot of smoke.
"It's over." Akuro said, suddenly realized that Negi had made the same movement as before. "It won't serve you again!" Akuro shouted wanting to punch him with his fist, when he was going to hit him, Negi blocked him with his elbow.
"Convergentia Fulguralis ... Raikahouken!" Negi hit Akuro with his other free hand, then he sent Akuro against one of the rocks, breaking off into pieces.
/Grace of destiny/
"Explosion of Flames!" Takeshiro made a circle of fire appear around Leona, flames came out of the circle and then there was an explosion of fire.
"Ice Spears!" Leona said from the air, throwing several ice spears at Takeshiro.
"Tsk... Fire Spears!" Takeshiro threw the same attack, but instead of ice, it was fire.
"Ice Pillars!" Leona made ice pillars appear on the ground where Takeshiro was, he jumped dodging them. "Freeze Rain!" Leona said quickly while Takeshiro was in the air, icicles appeared and were towards Takeshiro and hit him, making him fall several meters high to the ground, quickly Takeshiro went through the smoke that had risen towards Leona and they started fighting fast, Takeshiro threw a blow with the elbow and Leona blocked it with her arm, while she tried to punch him with her other hand, Takeshiro held her fist in his hand and he wanted to hit her in the stomach but Leona stopped him with her hand, giving him a kick in the stomach quickly, Takeshiro retreated a few meters backward and then they started fighting fast again, Takeshiro threw a kick to Leona's face, but she reacted in time and she dodged it by moving her head to the side, then she punched Takeshiro in the face, he gave an angry expression and he bent down trying to kick her across the ground, Leona jumped back, dodging him.
"Spheres of fire!" Takeshiro threw several small spheres of fire towards Leona, then she did several back-flip, dodging the spheres, Takeshiro quickly got behind her and hit her in the back sending her towards one of the rocks, but before she crashed into the rock, Takeshiro got behind her again to hit her on the ground, Leona reacted in time, she turned around and hit Takeshiro with both feet throwing him up into the air, quickly Leona jumped up from the ground and started hit him diagonally several times in the air.
"Sphere of Ice!" Leona said, throwing a sphere of ice at Takeshiro, when he was hit, an explosion was created that froze part of the place where they were, Leona landed on the ground looking at the smoke from the explosion.
/Grace of Destiny/
"Do you think... You can match... My damn speed, brat?!" Akuro yelled with an expression of anger, then disappeared.
"Here he comes... If I'm right, he will appear here." Negi thought. "Convergentia Fulguralis Raikahouken!" Negi shouted, hitting Akuro when he appeared in front of him and crashed where Takeshiro was.
"You have managed to piss me off, prepare for your end!"Akuro yelled, standing up with an angry expression, looking at Negi and Leona.
"Do you also have problems with the brat?" Takeshiro said, standing up.
"Not for long, let's attack them both at the same time."
"Okay, I'm tired of this." Takeshiro said, wiping the blood on his lower lip with his hand.
"I think they're going to attack at the same time." Leona looked at them seriously.
"Then, we will do the same." Negi said preparing for the attack, while Takeshiro and Akuro, Takeshiro began to concentrate, then his body surrounded himself with fire, and his hands began to light up, while Akuro put his hands together and began to make a sphere of electricity.
"Electric flare!" they shouted at the same time joining their two spells.
"Lovis Tempestas Fulguriens!" Negi said, casting a spell, similar to a tornado in horizontal of wind and lightning.
"Nivis Tempestas Gelu!" Leona said, casting a spell similar to Negi's, but of ice, then the spell was merged with Negi's spell and both spells hit each other with force and neither of the spells was receding.
"You will not be able to defeat us! Give up, brats!" Akuro cried out.
"Never!" Leona shouted.
"Akuro, I think if we continue like this, maybe we'll kill them both, and I think that Airon will not find it funny if we kill the girl." Takeshiro whispered.
"Who cares about that now! I'm going to make they pay for leaving me like this!"
"We need more power." Leona thought with a serious look. "Negi-"
"A... A..."
"Eh?"
"Achoo!" Negi shouted, suddenly, the spell took more power and surpassed the spell of Akuro and Takeshiro.
"But… What!" Akuro shouted as he watched the spell go towards them, then it hit them and created a large explosion.
"We did it!" Negi smiled. "Does something happen, Leona?" Negi asked.
"What? Ah, no." Leona shook her head. "I was just surprised with what has happened now." then she looked at Akuro and Takeshiro who were unconscious.
"I'm going to find Asuna and Setsuna, you stay here in case they come back."
"It's okay." Leona nodded, watching Negi walk away towards the forest.
Meanwhile, Asuna was fighting with Suichiro while Hoshi was watching them.
"I'm surprised you have so much resistance." Hoshi said calmly, looking at Asuna.
"After, the next one will be you, when I'm done with him." Asuna looked at Suichiro seriously.
"Do you think you are going to be able to defeat me?" Suichiro raised an eyebrow. "Aero ball!" he said, creating a sphere of air and throwing it to Asuna.
"It's not going to be that easy!" Asuna said, cutting the spell in two with the sword.
"What?" Suichiro surprised.
"I can cancel the magic."
"That's a strange thing to see." Hoshi crossed his arms.
"It doesn't matter, I can hit you anyway." Suichiro smiled going towards Asuna.
"Kanka!" Asuna said, combining Ki and magic, then she stopped Suichiro's blow with the sword.
"I may not be as fast as Akuro, but I'm not the slowest either." Suichiro said, attacking Asuna again, quickly kicking the sword and pushing Asuna back a few meters, then, Asuna went towards him and they began to exchange blows, in one of the blows, Asuna was going to hit him with the sword, but Suichiro jumped up and stayed in the air, watching Asuna.
"Air arrows." Suichiro created several air arrows appear before him, throwing it to Asuna, while she was deflecting it with his sword.
"Get down from there!" Asuna shouted, looking at him.
"That power of yours, really is a nuisance, well, let's see what you think of this." Suichiro said as he concentrated magic on his hand. "Supreme Tornado!" Suichiro made appear to magic circle under Asuna, then a tornado appeared and caught her.
"Let's see what you do now." Suichiro crossed his arms.
"I can't... Get out of here..." Asuna thought as the tornado started cutting her body.
"If I were you, I would give up if you don't want come out of there badly!"
"I have to do something, but what can I do?... I know." Asuna thought, trying to raise her sword, began to concentrate Kanka on it.
"What did you think of it, Hoshi?" Suichiro asked, sure of himself, landing on the ground.
"You speak as if you had already won, Akuro is giving you that confidence of his." Hoshi replied, sighing.
"Oh come on, you sound like an old man, the only thing you missed was he is a bad influence." Suichiro looked at him as he waved his hand in the air. "I-" but suddenly something interrupted him, a cut appeared in the tornado that caused an opening to be created, suddenly, Asuna came out of it and quickly went towards Suichiro.
"Shit - Air barrier!" Suichiro shouted, creating a barrier of wind, but Asuna destroyed the barrier with the sword and hit Suichro in the ribs with all her strength, sending him a few meters away from her, leaving him unconscious.
"I did it!" Asuna smiled closing her fist. "Although there was a moment that I thought I would not be able to do it." Asuna whispered, putting a hand on her head while lifting her bangs up a bit.
"What a way to lose, Suichiro..." Hoshi covered his face with his hand, denying.
"The next one is you!" Asuna pointed him with the sword, Hoshi let out a chuckle laugh.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's true that you were able to defeat Suichiro, but it was also because he trusted himself too much, I'm not like him, Aqua Warriors." Hoshi murmured, creating several warriors of water around him and sending it to Asuna.
"Tsk." Asuna growled, attacking it with the sword. "What annoying! Isn't never it going to end?"
"I'm lucky we are on the shoreline," Hoshi raised his hand, suddenly created a large whirlwind of water, thanks to the water that was from the sea. "Whirlwind Aqua Supreme!" Hoshi shouted, throwing it at Asuna.
"Eh?!" Asuna said, trying to stop it with the sword, but the whirlwind of water was too powerful and hit her causing her to crashed to the rocks, the sword came out of her hand and was flying through the air, falling a few meters from her.
"Do you give up? This has nothing to do with you." Hoshi looked at her as she got up.
"Not yet…" Asuna breathed heavily.
"Good." Hoshi sighed. "I'm surprised by your resistance but I'm going to end this now, Aqua Trap." made a circle of water around Asuna, then it trapped her inside. "If you don't give up you will die drowned and without your sword, you can't do anything to get out, I don't want to waste my time with you, as soon as it's over, I will take what we have been looking for from the beginning."
"Tsk... I can't keep breathing any longer..." Asuna thought, seeing that she couldn't hold her breath much longer.
"It's over." Hoshi said, suddenly something hit Hoshi's spell, breaking it and releasing Asuna.
"What was that?" Hoshi said looking around.
"Asuna," she heard a voice call to her. "Asuna, are you okay?" the voice said again as Asuna tried to take a breath.
"Yes... Thank you... Ah, Chachamaru?!"
"I'm glad you are fine." Chachamaru said in a quiet voice.
"What are you doing here?" Asuna looked at her surprised.
"Mistress told me to come here."
"What?" Asuna got up. "Is Eva here?" she said while looking around, Chachamaru shook her head.
"No, she can't come right now."
"I'm here." Chachazero said from up top of Chachamaru's head.
"Chachazero?"
"I wasn't going to miss this for anything, ke, ke, ke."
"Are you going to stop talking?" Hoshi said with folded arms.
"You! That was despicable!" Asuna shouted, looking at him seriously.
"Hmph, who cares?" Hoshi shrugged. "Are you going to fight? Or do I have to go attack you?"
"Be careful, Chachamaru." Asuna said, picking up the sword from the ground.
"I know, Asuna."
"Aqua Warriors."
"That attack again." Asuna said under her breath as she watched several water warriors go towards them, Asuna started attacking them while Chachamaru quickly went to Hoshi making a small sword appear from her hand.
"Body Aqua." Hoshi turned his body into water and avoided being attacked by Chachamaru, quickly, he appeared again behind Chachamaru and wanted to kick her in the back, but she stopped him with her small sword.
"Behind you!" Asuna said, appearing behind Hoshi, she went to hit him with the sword, but he dodged it, moving quickly to the left.
"Whirlwind Aqua!" Hoshi threw them a whirlwind of water, Asuna and Chachamaru quickly jumped aside to avoid the whirlwind that impacted the ground where they had been previously, then Hoshi went towards Chachamaru and tried to hit her with his fist, but Chachamaru caught his fist with her hand, squeezing his fist tightly and quickly held him with a lock to immobilize him, keeping his wrist in front of her.
"Asuna, now."
"Tsk." Hoshi growled as he tried to break free, Asuna began to concentrate Kanka on her sword.
"Come on!" Asuna said, going quickly to Hoshi.
"You can't... Body Aqua!" Hoshi shouted, turning into water and escaping from Chachamaru's lock, then he jumped up into the air.
"I won't let you!" Asuna said, going to Chachamaru who pushed her with both hands up with speed.
"You-" Hoshi said as Asuna went towards him.
"AHH!" Asuna shouted, hitting Hoshi with all her strength in the stomach with the sword, sending him crashing to the ground hard, making a small hole.
"He is unconscious." Chachamaru looked at Hoshi, and caught Asuna before she reached the ground, then she left her on the ground.
"We did it." Asuna smiled.
"Asuna!"
"Negi!" Asuna said, watching how he was running towards them.
"Are you okay?" Negi asked, worriedly.
"Yes! Don't worry." Asuna replied with a thumbs up, Negi smiled and saw Chachamaru with Chachazero.
"Chachamaru?"
"She helped me when I was fighting, I would have had a hard time without her." Asuna said with a hand behind her head.
"Thank you, Chachamaru."
"Don't thank me, Negi-sensei."
"I wanted to see more blood." Chachazero said, a drop appeared behind Asuna's head.
"Do you know anything about others, Negi?" Asuna asked, looking at him.
"Eh? I was with Leona, I told her to wait in case you came back."
"Negi!" he heard a voice from behind and turned around to see Konoka, she was running towards them while Setsuna walked behind her.
"Konoka! Setsuna! "Asuna looked at them. "Are you okay?"
"Setsuna explained everything to me, thank you for coming to save me." Konoka smiled.
"You don't have to thank us for that, it was nothing!" Asuna said, relieved to see they were all right.
"It was nothing, she says, and she almost didn't live to tell,ke, ke, ke." Chachazero smiled.
"You are injured," Konoka looked at them. "Let me heal you."
"Ah, thanks, Konoka." Asuna smiled slightly.
"How did it go?" Setsuna asked looking at them.
"We were able to defeat them." Asuna replied.
"Then, we just need to go find Leona."
"What do we do with him?" Asuna asked, looking at Hoshi.
"I would tie him to a stone and send him to the bottom of the sea." Chachazero suggested, raising her hand.
"No." Asuna said quickly.
"We'll think about it later, now let's go find Leona." Negi said, the others nodded.
/Grace of Destiny/
"I wonder if he has found them." Leona said to herself, sitting on the ground, leaning against a tree, looking at the sky.
"You."
"Eh?"
"You damn brats." Akuro looked at her as he got up from the ground.
"Tsk." Leona growled, getting up. "Didn't you have enough?"
"You are going to regret it," Akuro said with an expression of anger. "I've never felt such humiliation in my whole life! I'm going to make you pay for all!" Akuro yelled, taking a plastic from his pocket in which there seemed to be inside a syringe, he went towards Takeshiro, who was unconscious and he injected him in the neck with the syringe, suddenly, Takeshiro woke up and began to change of appearance, his body became taller and corpulent, his skin turned blue, the iris and pupils of his eyes disappeared and there was only the red sclera, two horns appeared on his head and fangs came out, finally, he emitted a dark aura around him.
"What have you done..." Leona looked at Takeshiro surprised.
"That's none of your business." Akuro said, looking at her coldly.
"What isn't he your companion?!"
"Shut up!" Akuro yelled, making a small cut on his wrist, when the blood fell to the ground, Akuro took out a small bottle and he dropped a green liquid on top of the blood that had fallen, suddenly, several circles appeared throughout the island and from it came specters.
"Now let's see what you do this time," Akuro stared at Leona. "You aren't going to get out of this."
End of chapter 15.
Asuna was able to defeat Hoshi thanks to Chachamaru's help, although all is not yet resolved, what will happen now?
