Hey, Everyone. This is part 2 of Chapter 3.
If you spot any grammar and spelling errors, I try my best to write it better unless I'm going to rewrite it if it does not suit your taste or you hate it with passion.

Page 3: The Web of Truth and Danger Part 2
Kumo-Me was running and jumping from one building to another with her string carrying the captured Izuku afloat. She shot her web out of her hand to the building and swung forward and above it.
Struggling, Izuku could not break out of the web cocoon and tried to move around to pester Kumo-Me, but it unaffected her. He scanned his moving surroundings to know his location, but he could not due to Kumo-Me's agility and speed ability. It made him a little dizzy with all the jumping and swinging. He noticed something in the sky and saw a blue spectral hawk following them.
The Blue Hawk was carefully trailing Kumo-Me while trying not to avoid being detected.
As Kumo-Me jumped up, her whole body suddenly disappeared, stopping the Blue Hawk.
The Blue Hawk scanned around the street to the building to locate Kumo-Me and her hostage, but it failed to find them.
'Dammit…' The Blue Hawk thought with Nishikawa's voice.
"It disappeared?" Rintaro asked with bewilderment.
"Yes, it vanished in the air in my familiar's sight. I'm now blind right now," Nishikawa replied with a hint of frustration before calming down. "I'm going to survey the street right now."
"Do you know what kind of Megid is?"
"It's a Spider Megid and belongs to Zoous."
"Spider? I thought that it was defeated by Buster several years ago?"
"It's not the same one because it looked fierce although it can be smart to be cloaked among the people in the street," explained Nishikawa.
"In the street?!" Rintaro exclaimed.
"No, it is probably swinging around the street to move into its hidden location where no one knows about it," Nishikawa corrected his words to Rintaro.
While Rintaro was talking with Nishikawa by phone, Touma tried to cool the trembling Kagami down.
"Relax, take a deep breath," Touma said to Kagami.
Kagami does follow Touma's simple instructions as she breathes in and out. When she finally became comfortable, she faced Touma with guilt.
"It's my fault that Izuku was kidnapped because I already had a suspicion that you and the red swordsman are the same," Kagami said with her hand gripped into a fist in frustration.
"I was going to question him about you and other weird stuff happening right now."
Touma patted Kagami on her shoulder. "Don't blame yourself, Kusakabe-San. This is not your entire fault."
"It is, Kamiyama-San! I'm at fault for Izuku's abduction," Kagami retorted with tears on the verge of her eyes, shrugging Touma's hand off.
"If you keep blaming yourself, Izuku will be sad to see you in this state," said Touma.
Kagami wiped her tears off and looked at Touma with a surprised expression.
"He cared for you and your well-being along with other people from danger despite being harsh if he needed to be," Touma reassured Kagami.
"Are you sure?" Kagami questioned Touma.
Touma nodded and gazed with a hint of earnestness in his eyes. "Yes, I swear he is."
Rintaro pressed his phone to end the call and put it back in his pocket. He turned around and jogged to Touma and Kagami to join them.
"Touma…" called Rintaro.
Touma turned around to Rintaro. "How is it?"
Rintaro shook his head. "Not good. Nishikawa's familiar bird lost the Megid in sight as it turned invincible."
"It must be the power of Wonder-Ride Book?" assumed Touma.
"Yes, but Nishikawa is going to do his best to find Megid's hidden spot to locate Izuku and other kidnapped people," Rintaro reassured Touma.
"Kidnapped people?" Kagami interrupted Touma and Rintaro.
Rintaro glanced at Kagami and hesitated to speak for a moment until he spoke out. "...Unfortunately, yes. Few people went missing last night." His expression turned serious. "But don't worry, we will do whatever we can to find them and prevent something worse."
"But you don't know his whereabouts…" said Kagami.
"I know, but we're going to save them," added Touma reassuring Kagami.
Nishikawa's Hawk was flying through the street swiftly, hoping that it would locate Kumo-Me and Izuku, but it turned up with no luck. Despite being faster to soar, it was limited to the search for the enemy and kidnapped one due to the various powers such as invisible or superpowered speed. It was, fortunately, a persistent bird as it was not allowed to give up its search and the abducted people.
As the bird passed the building, it noticed a claw mark on the wall and stopped with its wing flapping afloat. It examined the claw by squinting its eyes and turned to the left to see another one. It then began to continue to fly to the corner and saw a few marks and excess webbing all over many buildings in front of it.
'For the Megid, it's very careless with leaving a huge trail of it,' Nishikawa thought.
The Hawk began to follow the trail but saw a faint footprint on the wall of the building.
'It must belong to Touma's friend that Rintaro was talking about. He's smart to leave it for me to follow them,' Nishikawa thought, referring to Izuku.
The Hawk continued to fly.
The apprehended Izuku was hung upside down. He moved his head around to find himself in the large room filled with rusty, abandoned, malfunctioning machines and a few open holes in the roof. He probably concluded that he might be in the abandoned factory. He looked over his shoulder and saw a few apprehended people dangling in the same position as him.
The apprehended people were mixed; adults and children.
However, What was weird was that Izuku was further away from the people.
Izuku was clueless. He heard the hissing and turned in that direction to see Kumo-Me sticking to the metal pillar.
"You're a Blazer… I can smell your senses," Kumo-Me said, gazing at Izuku with cautious eyes.
"... What are you going to do with them?" Izuku questioned Kumo-Me straightaway, not bothering to have a conversation with a monster like her.
"Eat them," Kumo-Me answered through hissing.
Izuku widened his eyes in surprise at Kumo-Me answered truthfully, startling him a little. He glanced at her and saw a dreadful craving for human flesh in her eyes. He was not prepared for that kind of monster she was.
"Let me out, please?!"
"I don't want to die!"
"Mommy!"
Kumo-Me growled in annoyance and swiftly turned her head to the people.
"Shut up unless I will eat your guts out!" Kumo-Me roared at the people.
The people were silenced with a sense of terror.
"Eating them for what?" Izuku questioned again.
Kumo-Me turned back to Izuku. "Becoming very strong."
"...You're a sick monster."
Izuku glared at Kumo-Me.
Kumo-Me laughed hysterically. "Hehe… Haha… You, humans, forget that the stronger lived and the weakest died. This is how the world works." She stopped laughing. "I also forget you saved my prey and took her place." She gave him a curious look. "Why save her? She will expose the Wonder World that exists and that vile swordsman."
Still glaring at Kumo-Me, Izuku answered, "I know she will not reveal the secret and be eaten by you. Besides, you're scared and run away like a coward,"
Kumo-Me shrieked furiously at Izuku and raised her hand, extending her claw.
"I will slice you in half, you human!"
Kumo-Me jumped off the pillar and lunged at Izuku.
Izuku had no time to break out of the cocoon and soon accepted his fate as he could not escape his death. He did save Kagami from being consumed nastily though he regretted saying goodbye to Mei and Touma and never could see Touma's new book published if he ever came up with the finest story idea.
"Arghh!"
Kumo-Me was knocked out and crashed to the floor.
Izuku shifted his head up to see Nishikawa's Hawk fly up and dived down towards him.
The Hawk plunged at the cocoon and successfully cut it apart, releasing Izuku. As it was about to dive down, it swooped over the floor and straight toward the almost-downed Kumo-Me.
Izuku landed on the ground safely and quickly materialized his sword out of existence.
The Hawk tried to charge at Kumo-Me but missed as she disappeared. It flew up in the air to locate her position but was suddenly hit by the webbing. It was pulled down and grabbed by its throat by an invisible force, which turned out to be Kumo-Me, who appeared out of thin air. It shrieked as its throat began to be tightened. It tried to move frenzy to force her to release, but it did not affect her.
Kumo-Me glared at the Hawk with her hissing growl before snapping its neck, making a cracking sound. She threw it to the side as it dematerialized, breaking into a blue particular.
"Argh!"
Nishikawa staggered but slammed on the table to prevent himself from falling. He felt intense pain from his familiar bird's death because his power had established to connect to it to control their abilities and view from its perspective. Fortunately, his life was not in danger, but he could feel the pain mentally and described it as it was screaming in agony upon being killed. He slowly huffed as he tried to stand up.
"Oni-chan! Are you okay?!"
Nishikawa turned his head to see Sara rushing towards him.
"I'm fine," Nishikawa dismissed Sara's concern before saying, "I need to contact Rintaro now. I know where Megid's position is at."
Izuku moved to his fighting stance with his sword pointing at Kumo-Me.
Kumo-Me turned to face Izuku and growled furiously with her claw extending out. "...You're foolish to think you can kill me?! I will kill you!" She began to walk towards her opponent. "What hope you can defeat me?! A Blazer cannot destroy us!"
Izuku focused on Kumo-Me with determination and confidence.
"I'm not going to destroy you."
Izuku gripped his sword tightly.
"I'm going to rescue them."
Kumo-Me began to rush forward with a loud shriek while Izuku stepped forward and charged toward her with his sword.
Touma, Rintaro, and Kagami were running around in the street to find Megid's location without a clue. They cannot give up because of Izuku and the captive people. They must hurry up. Every second they wasted, their lives would be taken away.
"Are you sure you want to come with us?" Touma questioned Kagami.
"Yes, this is my fault for Izuku being abducted. I'm going to help you two rescue him and the people," Kagami answered while trying to keep up with Touma and Rintaro.
"What a preservation you have," Rintaro complimented but later asked, "But are you sure about it?"
"Of course. This is my role as a Blazer to protect the people from harm's way," Kagami answered with a hint of determination.
GATRING! GATRING!
Rintaro quickly took his phone out and pressed on the screen to answer.
Izuku ran forward, swinging his sword to cut the webbing projectile in half.
Kumo-Me continued to fire her webbing projectile out of her mouth at Izuku, but it did not hit him.
As Izuku was closer to Kumo-Me, he swung his sword at Kumo-Me but missed as she jumped back, avoiding his attack.
Kumo-Me lunged forward and swung her claw at Izuku, but Izuku blocked her attack and pushed her back.
Kumo-Me growled and jumped backward from Izuku before firing at him.
Izuku rushed forward while cutting and deflecting the web projectile. He had to get in close distance to Kumo-Me to strike her. However, it was annoying for him to fight against an opponent who specialized in long-distance attacks. He cannot underestimate her other abilities because she is simply a monster.
Kumo-Me fired her web into the air and pulled herself up to avoid Izuku. While she was in mid-air, she disappeared.
Izuku stopped and changed to his defensive stance as he became careful with his surroundings. He slowly walked while shifting his body around. As he stepped forward, he heard the noise from right upward and turned his head in the direction. He heard another noise from the left downward and turned to the source. He was ultimately in the pitch where she would strike him any time.
The Webbing projectile shot from the top right toward Izuku but missed as he jumped back against the wall.
Izuku saw another projectile flying toward his face and stepped to the right, avoiding the shot.
'Where is she?' Izuku thought as he was still on guard.
Izuku noticed two projectiles in his way and successfully cut and deflected them.
Unexpectedly, another projectile hit Izuku's hand out of nowhere and knocked him to the wall. He crashed against the wall with his hand covered and glued. What worse was that his bind hand was holding his device. He tried to pull his hand out, but it was useless. He cannot break his hand out. He would be stupid to tear the web with his other hand to make it worse.
Kumo-Me appeared on the top and growled with her mouth open, drooling. She lunged at him with her claw and was about to strike the bind Izuku.
Suddenly, A Red Mechanical busted out of the wall and knocked Kumo-Me upon reaching her fast.
"Nice job, Brave Dragon."
Izuku turned his head to see Touma, Rintaro, and Kagami.
"What are you doing here, Kusakabe-Kun?" Izuku asked Kagami in shock.
"Don't be mad, but I'm here to save you, Senpai. I'm at fault for you being captured," Kagami replied with a hint of guilt.
Izuku sighed and glanced at Kagami with neither disappointment nor an irate but a mixture of weary and amusement look.
"You are really unpredictable."
Kagami tilted her head in confusion. "Huh?"
Rintaro slashed Nagare at Izuku's webbed hand, releasing him.
Izuku turned to Kagami with a small smile. "Can you keep the secret, Kagami?"
Kagami was surprised by Izuku's question and her first name basis being called out. She did not know how to answer him, but she must because they were in a situation with the monster. She glanced at Izuku and sighed as she already knew the answer.
"Alright, fine, but because I'm damn guilty of you being captured!" Kagami answered loudly.
Kumo-Me jumped up from downed and glared at the group with her killing intention, causing them to notice her.
Touma and Rintaro took their Driver out and placed it on their waist.
Rintaro inserted his sword into his driver and took out his Wonder-Ride Book with Touma taking it out too.
The duo opened their book.
BRAVE DRAGON!
LION SENKI!
As the duo closed their book, they inserted theirs in its driver and pulled their sword out in a quick motion.
REKKA/NAGARE BATTOU (UNSHEATH THE FLAME/CURRENT)!
"Henshin!" The duo announced loudly before donning their armor into Saber and Blades.
~BRAVE DRAGON!~
~LION SENKI!~
REKKA VOLUME 1 - When the brave dragon and Rekka, the Sword of Flames unite, the crimson blade shall pierce through all that is evil!
NAGARE: VOLUME 1 - When the king of the wilds and Nagare, the sword of Currents unite, the azure blade shall bare its fangs!
REKKA, THE SWORD OF FLAMES!
NAGARE, THE SWORD OF CURRENTS!
Saber and Blades moved to their offensive stance.
"Wow!" Kagami exclaimed in shock at the duo's transformation.
Blades peaked over Izuku and Kagami. "You two get the people out of here right now while we hold her off."
Izuku nodded and ran off.
"Hey, wait for me!" shouted Kagami as she ran off to catch up with him.
Kumo-Me charged forward and lunged at Saber and Blades, but her attack was blocked by Saber and pushed off.
Blades ran forward and clashed with Kumo-Me.
As Kumo-Me swung her claw at Blades, she missed her attack as it was both blocked and countered before being kicked away to her stomach. She staggered back but quickly recovered and extended her other claws. She then charged at Blades with a furious roar.
Saber joined the fray and assisted Blades in fighting Kumo-Me.
The Duo were clashing with Kumo-Me but quickly realized that her attack was getting more ferocious and deadly as every second proceeded.
"Quite aggressive Megid…" Blades muttered before leaning back, avoiding the incoming claw to his face.
Saber's sword caught and locked with Kumo-Me's claw.
Kumo-Me swung her other claws at Saber but was blocked by Blades. She was then pushed off by the effort of Saber and Blades and received each slash from them. She skidded back and growled in agony.
Saber charged forward and swung his sword at Kumo-Me, but missed his attack as she became invisible in a quick second.
"Where did she go?" Saber asked in shock as he scanned his surroundings.
"Be careful, Touma. She could strike anytime without being seen," Blades advised Saber as he put his guard on.
As Saber and Blades were cautious around the surroundings, Blades was suddenly slashed in his back.
"Argh!" Blades yelled in agony as he reeled forward.
"Rintaro!" Saber shouted with concern before being hit in his chest as well. "Urgh!"
Blades stood up but received a slash in his chest with a spark coming out.
Saber swung his sword but hit nothing and received a slash from the right. He sways his sword in the direction of the attack. However, he hit nothing and received the hit again.
Blades scanned the surroundings while being on guard, but it was useless that he was struck once again.
While Saber and Blades were fighting the invisible Kumo-Me, Izuku and Kagami reached the cocoons and started their work. Izuku swung his sword to cut the cocoon part to release the captive and moved to another. He needed more time to free the captive before the riders were finished.
Kagami tried her best to assist some released captives even though she was panicking in the dangerous situation. She heard the yelping sound and turned to the boy on the ground. She rushed towards him.
"Can you move?" Kagami gently asked the recently released captive who was the young boy.
"Yes, I can," replied The Boy.
As Kagami was pulling the boy up, she heard Saber's shout.
"Watch out!"
Kagami turned to see the lunging Kumo-Me heading toward her and the boy. She quickly took the boy and pulled him into her arm before turning her back in front of the Megid. She knew shielding the boy with her body would instantly lead her to death. However, the boy was more important to protect than herself because it was her duty as a Mage-Knight. She shut her eyes tightly to prepare for her instant death but heard the clash and flesh cut sound. She looked up and turned to see Izuku staggering back with the blood coming out of the wound on his forearm.
"Senpai!" exclaimed Kagami.
Izuku winced with his wound but quickly swayed his gushing blood to stain on Kumo-Me. He swung his sword at her but missed as she jumped up to avoid being slashed. He looked up to see her turning invisible.
"Senpai, are you okay?!" Kagami asked Izuku in panic.
Izuku looked down at Kagami.
"I'm fine," Izuku dismissed Kagami's worries.
"Don't be put on a brave face, you idiot!" Kagami shouted before pulling her ribbon from her uniform and wrapping Izuku's wounded forearm to stop the bleeding.
Saber was restless that he and the group were in a tight situation that Kumo-Me with the Wonder-Ride Book was troubled with being invisible. He tried to hear her, but she made a lot of noise to distract him and Blades. Not only that, he had to be worried for Izuku since his forearm was injured. He then quickly realized that Izuku swayed his blood on Kumo-Me. He moved his head around and saw a blood-covered invisible Megid lunging at him from the air. He leaped up and swung his sword. He successfully hit Megid, making her turn visible.
"Blades!" shouted Saber.
"Got it!" Blades yelled back as he rushed toward the falling Kumo-Me. He swiftly swung his sword vertically with a powerful strike and slashed her.
"Argh!" Kumo-Me exclaimed in pain as she flew back and crashed to the ground.
As Blades landed, "Camouflaging Chameleon" dropped in front of him.
Blades scooped "Camouflaging Chameleon" and examined it.
"Camouflaging Chameleon. So that proves my speculation," Blades muttered before gazing at the downed Kumo-Me.
Kumo-Me stood up and glared at everyone.
"Damn you, Damn you, DAMN YOU!" Kumo-Me yelled furiously.
As the last captive was released, Izuku still felt a sting on his wounded forearm but noticed his vision was slowly muddled. He could not seem to be focusing and might faint. He examined his bandage forearm.
'Shit… I think I'm poisoned…' Izuku cursed mentally.
"Oi, Senpai. Are you okay?" asked Kagami, concerned.
Kumo-Me glanced at Izuku and noticed his weakened state. She began to laugh hysterically. "My venom poison had begun the process." She turned to Saber and Blades with delight. "You won't defeat me as long as my venom is activated."
Saber raised his eyebrow in confusion while glaring at Kumo-Me. "Why do you reveal your ability?"
Kumo-Me laughed again. "Because I won't be defeated that easily."
Kumo-Me's lower body began to make bone-crushing and flesh-tearing sounds until it deformed into something horrifying. It grew extra flesh and bone and formed into a red and black giant completed spider body with her upper body attached to the head part. She growled like a beast and screeched disorientedly.
Kagami became pale at the sight of the transformed Kumo-Me as her body was shaken in fear. "Oh god."
"Kagami, snap out of it."
Kagami turned to the weakened Izuku.
"We need to move now!" said Izuku.
Kagami nodded as she and Izuku led the captives out of there before the fight became more vicious.
Saber and Blades readied their sword and pointed at Kumo-Me.
Kumo-Me jumped up and plunged at Saber and Blades.
The Duo Swordsmen jumped back, avoiding being squashed by Kumo-Me, and began their attack. However, their attack met with a dominant clash by her pincers. They tried to stand against her attack but pushed back.
Kumo-Me swiped her pincers at Blades, bashing him through the wall.
"Urgh!" Blades exclaimed as he flew and crashed through the wall.
"Rintaro!" Saber shouted before turning back to Kumo-Me. He saw the incoming pincers strike and quickly raised his sword upward to block. However, it proved that he was feeble against it.
As Izuku and Kagami had gone out with the freed captive, Saber flew through the wall to the outside and fell to the ground next to Blades.
"You okay, Touma?" asked Blades.
"I'm fine," Saber replied as he stood up.
The rooftop of the abandoned factory exploded, causing the duo to look at it.
Kumo-Me landed on the ground with a powerful force, manifesting dust and peddling from the cracked floor. She screeched loudly and focused on Saber and Blade with her bloodthirsty eyes.
"She had completely lost her sense," Blades stated as he examined Kumo-Me's behavior.
"Her transformation might have turned her crazy," Saber speculated about Kumo-Me's behavior.
"Nevertheless, we need to defeat her, or else she will go rampage through the city," Blades told Saber.
"You're right," Saber agreed. He noticed that he and Blades were now outside with Kumo-Me and could not afford to let her escape to the street.
Kumo-Me raised her pincers and struck down at Saber and Blades.
Saber and Blades, fortunately, dodged as Saber jumped right while Blades leaped back.
Blades slotted Nagra back to his driver. He closed "Lion Senki" and took "Jackum-To-Domanenoki" out. The giant-size Wonder-Ride Books appeared behind him. He then placed it on the left empty slot and swiftly took his sword out, causing the books to open along with the giant-size.
NAGARE BATTOU (UNSHEATH THE CURRENT)!
WHEN TWO BOOKS SYNTHESIZE, THE SACRED BLADE IS INFUSED WITH POWER! WONDER RIDER!
Blades' left side was donned with "Jackum-To-Domanenoki" armor.
LION! JACKUN-TO-DOMANENOKI (Jack and the Beanstalk)!
THE BLADE EQUIPPED WITH TWO ATTRIBUTES WILL BE HONED!
Blades fired the bean at Kumo-Me.
As the last captive escaped safely, Izuku turned around but was stopped by Kagami, who grabbed his shoulder.
"Where are you going?" Kagami asked Izuku.
"I'm going to help them right now," Izuku replied, referring to Saber and Blades.
"Are you nuts?! You're injured and poisoned! You're in no shape!" Kagami reasoned loudly with Izuku.
"I cannot afford to rest here and leave them to fight that spider monster. They are in the position of going to be killed," Izuku explained weakly to Kagami as he gently moved her off his shoulder and continued, "If they die here, more people will be killed. They're the only ones who can defeat that monster."
"I get that by one bit, Senpai. However, I won't allow you to do that! I don't want to see people like you die because you have a future ahead!" Kagami shouted at Izuku furiously, hoping her words would get through his head.
"I know, but as I said before, I'm going to help them right now," Izuku replied with determination.
Kagami sighed in irritation at Izuku's stubbornness and could not even reason with him to stop. She might have accepted it as he would charge toward the danger to help the riders to destroy Kumo-Me. She had seen the part of his characters. He was the type of person willing to help without caring for his well-being.
"If you're going to help them, I will help them too. My ability is useful," said Kagami.
Izuku thought about whether he would allow her to assist in the fight and nodded as if he was already decided.
"Alright."
Kumo-Me fired a needle out of her open torse at Blades, who efficiently evaded her projectile. She swung her pincers at Saber, who lunged at her and clashed with his sword.
Saber flew back and skidded back upon landing on the ground. He plunged his sword to the ground to stop skidding and managed to do so. He took his sword out and moved to his defensive stance. He needed to expose Kumo-Me's weak point to attack efficiently. As he was thinking, he saw Izuku charging toward her with his devices.
"Izuku!" Saber called Izuku in panic.
As Saber was about to move, he suddenly saw tons of duplicates of Izuku charging toward Kumo-Me. He was dumbfounded at the sight as he wondered if he was hallucinating from his fighting with Kumo-Me or the wounded he did not notice. He was then snapped out of Izuku's shout.
"Touma, catch!"
Saber turned around to see the sword flying toward him and caught it successfully with his hand in its grip. He looked in the direction where the sword was being thrown and saw Izuku and Kagami standing further away from him. He then looked at Izuku's sword and realized his intention before looking back at them again.
"Got it," Saber said with a nod.
Izuku's duplicates were sliced, shot, and smacked brutally by Kumo-Me and disappeared into the smoke.
Blades was bewildered at the sight of Izuku's clone but cringed at them being massacred. He peeked over Izuku and Kagamai while in his defensive stance.
'It must be the girl's abilities, not Izuku's,' Blades thought as he concluded that Kagami was one to duplicate Izuku. It was quick smart of her, but the clones were getting slaughtered. He wondered how long it would last until the last clone was finished while he was taking a breather.
Saber began to run toward Kumo-Me with his and Izuku's swords in both hands.
While his vision was slowly blurred, Izuku sighed to relax with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes and focused on Saber. He began to mutter, "Argentum Ore."
The blade of Saber's sword began to ignite a flame covering it while Izuku's sword began to shine bright in silver light.
Kagami saw the scene and became shocked as she turned to the focused Izuku. 'Did he just activate his Noble Art?'
Kumo-Me noticed Saber charging and began to fire needles at him.
Seeing the projectile, Saber deflected the shots with duel swords while still running. As he reached her, he saw her pincers lifting and was about to strike down at him.
Fortunately, Kumo-Me's pincers were blocked by the horizontal beanstalk growing from the ground and stuck with her pincers deep inside the beanstalk.
Saber went under Kumo-Me's spider body and began to swing the duel swords, chopping her spider legs off one by one. He then ran out after cutting her spider legs.
This caused Kumo-Me to screech in agony and fall. She became immobilized with her spider legs gone.
Saber noticed Izuku's sword disintegrating from his hand and turned to Izuku sinking to his knee with his hand placed on the ground to support himself from falling.
Izuku was going to be killed by poison right now.
Saber turned his head back and focused on the downed Kumo-Me. He quickly sheathed his sword into his driver and pressed it twice.
FINAL PAGE!
Brave Dragon emerged from Saber's book and breathed flame, surrounding Saber and Kumo-Me in a circle.
Kumo-Me panicked at the flame surrounding her and struggled to pull her pincers out, but she remained stuck.
DRAGON!
Saber jumped in the air and dived toward Kumo-Me with his leg put one, covering in flame.
ONE VOLUME STRIKE - FIRE!
"Flaming Dragon Crushing Kick!" Saber shouted as he became engulfed in a flame and became the shape of Brave Dragon. He struck his kick to Kumo-Me, causing an explosion to occur.
Saber landed on the ground safely while the ring of fire disappeared.
Izuku began to feel better with the poison gone due to Saber destroying Kumo-Me even though he could feel the string in his bandaged forearm.
"He did it!" Kagami cheered while jumping for joy.
Blades sighed in relief that Kumo-Me was destroyed.
While the group celebrated victory, Calibur spied the whole scene from his vantage on the building where he was standing.
"Saber…"
Izuku was sitting on the bed with his wounded forearm covered in a clean bandage from the hospital. He was currently talking with Touma, Rintaro, and Kagami.
"How many days before you head back to the academy, Izuku?" asked Touma.
"Three days due to the doctor saying that my wound was fortunately not deep and with the assistance of the healing capsule machine," Izuku informed Touma.
"I'm glad it wasn't serious that you would drop out of Academy due to injury, Senpai," Kagami said in her relief tone.
"Nevertheless, I'm quite impressed that you hold on your own against the Megid," Rintaro praised Izuku.
"I'm just doing my job as a knight even though I'm just a teenager," Izuku shrugged Rintaro's praises with a hint of embarrassment.
Touma turned to Kagami and bowed, "Thank you for helping us to find Izuku and the kidnapped people, Kusakabe-San."
"It's nothing, Kamiyama, but I should be the one to thank you for helping me to find them," Kagami replied while waving both hands in embarrassment.
"Don't be modest, Miss. Your blazer ability did contribute to us in the battle for victory," Rintaro said with a smile.
Kagami sighed with a hint of blush at all of the praises from Tomua and Rintaro. She nevertheless appreciated them for their gratitude for saving them. She felt joyful to be praised for the first time for rescuing the people as a knight.
Izuku wanted to tell Kagami not to be content because they were still students, not full-time knights. They were fortunate that their activities were not to be uncovered by the Authority and Hagun Academy. However, he had let her be praised for a while. They needed a well-earned rest after the insane happening the previous day.
"Senpai, everyone. I will keep the secret and never expose it to the public. I swear." Kagami said, committing to keep their secret.
"Thank you for understanding, Miss. We appreciate it," Rintaro said as he nodded and smiled.
The door suddenly slid harder with a loud bang, causing everyone to look in that direction and see the huffing Mei.
"Cousin?" called Izuku.
"Thank goodness! I'm glad that you're okay, Izuku!" Mei shouted as she rushed over to the group. "I hope you didn't get injuries that you might not be able to lift the sword."
"I'm really fine, Mei," Izuku told Mei not to be concerned.
"I hope so," Mei replied before noticing Kagami. "Eh?"
"Hello, I'm Kusakabe Kagami. I'm a friend of your cousin. Nice to meet you," Kagami introduced herself to Mei as she reached her hand out.
However, Mei was frozen and quiet at Kagami's introduction, causing everyone to be overly concerned.
"Mei?" Touma called Mei but received no response.
After a few seconds, Mei dropped down and hugged Kagami's leg tightly.
"Eh?!" exclaimed Kagami, surprised at Mei's action.
Mei looked up at Kagami with tears on the verge and cried, "Please forgive me! Don't call the police for assaulting you! I will do anything even if I'm going to do Sudoku on your command!"
"Mei?!" shouted Izuku.
"Miss Sudo, please stand up," Rintaro said with worry as he tried to pull Mei to stand up.
"No, I will not!" Mei shouted at Rintaro.
"Mei, just calm down. She won't call the police," Touma reassured Mei.
"You're just trying to sugarcoat me!" Mei yelled at Rintaro.
Kagami was speechless at the scene and unable to do anything to ease the situation. She never thought that Mei acted that way with desperation. She was somehow at fault although She was a victim of being hit in her head.
While Touma and Rintaro tried their best to release Mei from Kagami, Izuku was glad everything was normal. He hoped so since he had to deal with Mei's breakdown but for how long?

"Do you hurt Rekka's feelings?"
"You are…"
"A diversion?!"
"Hand over your Wonder-Ride Book."
"I will change the ending of your story!"
Extra Notes
I want to be honest that writing the details of the fight scene in this chapter is sometimes tiring and makes me have a brain fart. It's difficult for me to describe what the fight went on and its aftermath. I hope that this fight didn't disappoint you.
I apologize to you all, Readers. I spoiled Kagami's Blazer Ability in this chapter. If you're wondering if this is her actual ability, go online and check on the wiki because this is indeed her real ability. I swear I'm not joking or making up.
Also, Saber's finisher on Kumo-Me is loosely a tribute to the scene from Kamen Rider Ryuki, where Ryuki does his rider kick on Mirror Monster Spider. I hope.
See you later.
