And so, after looking towards her several times and other several times towards the other two adventurers, he finally gets moving towards them, giving them the potions right after it. He of course, knowing that the woman adventurer used almost all of her magic energy, he gave her the magic recovery potion, while the other one took the healing potion, almost healing his wound back to normal in an instant. The last one he kept in his pocket, hoping that it won’t be needed for the Magical Girl but in case she does need it, he will be ready for it.

  Anne- Buah! While this tasted awful and smelled as worse, it actually felt good. Seriously, I was about to collapse if it wasn’t for that potion! Actually, the efficiency of it is way beyond a medium potion and yet, I have no clue where she got them… Anyway, I’m Anne by the way.

  Karls- I can say the same about my arm, that hurt like hell and yet, I can move it around comfortably. That goddamn ogre, he got the best of me with that strike, I should have been more careful... Also, I’m Karls.

  Charles- Haha, I can believe that! Getting your arm broken is not nice at all however, you acted just like a man should, you kept your head calm and cold, ready for anything that might happen. Also, the two of you did go with that last Fireball although that seemed something far more powerful than that. Anyway, I’m Charles, a master at Martial Arts.

  Anne- A pleasure to meet the two of you but, now what? I don’t think I can do much against that monstrosity of a monster over there. He seems way out of my league but I also don’t want to leave that girl all by herself…

  Karls- Don’t bother, not only that beast is easily at A rank realm, that girl over there is at minimum the same rank as him. Remember that flying monster? Yep, me neither. Did you even see how it was defeated?

  Charles- I actually felt something, something akin to a shockwave? But, right after that, I saw her land and quite elegantly at that, not much else I can say about it though.

  Anne- Well, I did hear some lightning so… I would guess that; she used an Electro spell to defeat him? But I also have seen a few fire particles going down where he was supposed to be… Now, I’m getting confused.

  Karls- You might be confused but that is correct. Before I was blasted away and after it, I was scouting the monsters in front of us with my Magic Sense skill and while I was doing so, I picked up two different spells from different elements, an Electro spell as you said and a Pyro spell. While I cannot tell you what they were I can say that, for less than a split second, I was able to sense her magic energy and it was in the A rank realm.

  A few moments ago he said that, she was in the A rank realm however, the other two brushed it of as the rumbling of a fool but, the moment he went deeper with his explanation and with both of their accounts of what happened, they are finally able to understand the “severity” of what he claimed. Because of this, with the utmost serious look on his face as says all of this, with his eyes filled with confidence on what he has seen and felt and with a tone of voice that is firm enough to affirm what he claimed he more than was able to force to them this undenied truth about that young lady. However, if they were talking about someone else there is a good chance that he wouldn’t need to be like this but in this case, he’s talking about someone who does not look apart at all.

  Anne- Ah, I didn’t even thought about using that skill... But I do believe in what you say, there is something about her that tells me you are right. If I use Magic Sense now, her magic usage is below what you would expect to be in a situation like this, especially when she’s holding such an enormous weapon for her size. Damn, the more I see and think about it, the more of an expert she seems...

  Charles- Wait a second, she’s not doing anything for now, isn’t that supposed to be normal? Isn’t your magic energy supposed to be low when you are not doing anything? I mean, she’s holding a weapon that weighs more than her but, nothing that would make her use much magic energy, no?

  Anne- In the weapon regard you are not wrong however, in a situation where she currently is? Nah, never. Even you probably felt the sheer terror when that beast appeared out of thin air. The heavy pressure from it, the gaze from his single eye… Hell nah, there is no way that you could keep your magic energy that low. The fear alone would easily force your body to use more magic just because!

  Charles- I see your point of view and, of course I did. My heart got out of my chest and came back to it the moment I was being stared at by him. It got me sweating, shaking down to my very own boots in fact, my hands are still shaking! However, the other monsters are also something we cannot ignore, their strength easily rivals us and they are close to fifty of them.

  Karls- Even with all of this, she’s as calm as a sleeping baby. She might really be capable of defeating all of them by herself or she’s doing the biggest fake out in the entire world right now.

  Charles- Tsk, I can understand your points but… I’m still having trouble believing it and not doing anything at all... It does not sit right with me but we just have to do what she asks and pray that I'm wrong and she’s indeed strong enough to deal with this disaster.

  Karls- That’s the cruel reality we are in, even if we wanted to help out, how much could we really do? Not only that, we would be in her way, forcing her to worry about our safety and when someone is fighting while keeping others safe, it rarely ends well for any of them. We have to trust her but, we have to be ready for anything at the same time.

  This is a hard pill to swallow, but reality is often what we don’t want it to be, making it hard to accept its undeniable truth. They can only do what she asked, wait for any potential stragglers and deal with them accordingly but just like he said, they also need to keep their eyes peeled and ready for any unpredictable event that might happen.

  “So, are we going to stare at each other or, will any of you make a move at all? Ah, maybe I should be the first one to start? I don’t mind either way.”

  While the other three were debating the situation at hand, for some reason, Kiana decided to let the monsters surround her. Either she’s letting her confidence go overboard as she does say this with a rather teasing tone of voice and with a rather mischievous look on her beautiful pale face, or, she has a plan in mind. I believe the second one to be the truth as with a single spell or skill, she can dispose of several monsters in a few moments, especially in a situation like this. However, even after saying this with quite the smirk on her silklike lips and with said mischievous look, the monsters as expected, they didn’t understand her at all therefore, they still are waiting for whatever Kiana might do. In other words, they didn’t take the bait at all. They are not stupid, they can easily sense just how dangerous Kiana is, not in the same way as Magic Sense skill would but more so by pure natural instincts. The strongest attack and defence “skill” a monster can rely on and even humans to be honest.

  “Well then, if that is the case... I will start ?>w
  With quite the smile on her face but with her golden eyes shining and with a confident look on them, she gets ready to do something. Her left foot goes forward a little bit, while her right foot goes backwards just a tad bit. She bends her left knee forward, while the right one is almost fully stretched thanks to this and at the same time, she leans forward by a little bit and with her claymore on both hands and fully to her left pointing the tip backwards because of it, she’s ready for whatever will come next. Whatever skill or spell she will do to decimate those that are stupid enough to defy her.
