Chapter nine: Someone new

{Tsuki's p.o.v}

We arrived at an opening to something similar to a forest but I could see a dome above us meaning we're still inside. I walked taking the lead and I could make out faint currents from a river. 'Nice!' 

"We'll head to the river to wash out our outer garments after we'll search for enemies" I gave out my orders sternly. I didn't want any more mishaps. 

I heard both Luke and Luka's voices and confirmed their answer.

"Sure no problem" "We'll stay alert!" 

We departed to the river but I heard racket ahead of us signaling to my teammates to stay quiet, I crept up over to a bush and observed what was in front of me. 

5 people were tied up, two female's, three males and one of the males was a teenager. It had a group of four participants surrounding them.

"Oh~ come on! we're giving a fair deal here. We get your coins and points and you get to live…or not! Kekeke." The Leader from this supposed group, laughed at their fear stricken faces after striking a 50-50 chance deal. 

I observed quietly. After all, even though the deal itself is somewhat unfair, it's their mistake for getting captured.
Each person is supposed to be able to protect themselves, plus him having them still alive is very lucky on their part considering he's probably a seeker. "Mm I wonder…" I muttered thoughtlessly. I felt the gazes from the twins asking to elaborate. 

*sigh*

"The kid is actually cutting his ropes and is using something similar to a "Notice me not" charm from ●Harry potter●. I wouldn't have noticed him if not for my skill." I whispered and saw the realization dawn on their faces. 

"Mn." A sound of recognition from Luke had me focusing back on the strangers. "But aren't you going to help them? If we give them a better deal than the other guy won't we have a small unit to fight for us?" Luka inquired.

"No. Even if having more manpower might be beneficial, we still can not forget they might hold us back. Plus it's a free world inside here, if I gave a hand to every endangered person in this place… wouldn't I just make myself and them a walking target? And it's their fault for getting caught, so no I won't be saving them." I sneered while stating this staring at him. He nodded his head in understanding.

I felt no remorse from my answer after all I never stated I was a good person

I suddenly felt intense pressure and swiftly turned back to the scene. A girl maybe around 5 '4 stood with an enchanted bow and glared at the leader of the group. 

For a minute I was awestruck after all one of those could literally blast me away like an animal.

The wind picked up and I stared at her gold- no platinum blonde waist length hair, soft slanted red eyes with smooth rosy skin wearing light armored clothing. She reminded me of someone.. Someone important; But that's the least of our worries right now her bloodlust is even getting to me.

"What the-" I heard stammered words next to me but I ignored it and stayed focused on the matter at hand. 

"Please help us!!" Cried out one of the captives, looking at them the pressure around her grew in strength. "Hey! Shut It! Do you really think she's gonna save you? Ha like I believe that" one of the men with auburn colored hair yelled. 

"You sinful dirty beast! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE CALLED HUMAN! YOU SCUM!!" a mighty voice roared across the area.

Her anger raging like a bull towards the capturers. A red aura surrounded her. I gawked like a chicken. 'Wow is that the famous aura in novels?' I was amazed. 

What happened was out of my control. She killed them one by one. Shouts inquired I didn't have time to make out who it came from when an arrow flew past my face ;but I stayed admiring and learning her fighting patterns.

Her movements were precise and quickly done, I couldn't lay out a flaw until I saw her arm with cuts appearing out of nowhere. This piqued my interest before I observed some more. 

"The winner is already decided," Luka smirked.

"Of course it is" I marveled, completely impressed. ~I want her on my team~ I thought I was already forming negotiations in my head. 

Soft pants could be heard by the field. She spoke up suddenly " so are you going to hide like rats or are you going to come out?" She glared at us. "Oops.. guess we're caught" 

"Tsk" I ignored Luke being annoyed. ~let's test her strength myself now that I've evaluated her. Hmmm hmm hm~ I thought.

We came out of our hiding spot hands up in false peace. ~just have to catch her off guard~ 

"Um.. we're not with them!" Tsuki protested, trying to appear timid. "We were only watching because they were stronger than us." Luke finished while Luka and Tsuki nodded.

The young lady slowly lowered her guard and spoke cautiously "and what should I address you with sir..?" 

"Oh don't worry about that you'll know soon" Tsuki dropped the act and grinned, a sigh could be heard from the twin brothers. "Huh? What are you talking about?" She raised her bow aiming at the stranger's brows furrowed.

She licked her chapped lips and questioned them further, "What is your reason for approaching me? Is it a fight or are you looking for companionship?"

~Hm I wonder what if..~ Tsuki pondered in his thoughts for a moment before acting.

"You should know I'm here for two things, one your life and two a fight~" voicing his intentions ; the young girl glared at him with her red eyes.

Luke decided that Tsuki was just a troublesome bastard.

Luka slowly turned to the tied up victims, his lip twitching as he watched fear struck their faces. ' Oh how I want to laugh but that'll reveal too much' Luka's dark thoughts stayed with himself and continued watching the captives.

Tsuki started "so what are you gonna do little bitch?" His words are vulgar with false sweetness; now staring at him she felt as if she knew him? She dismissed his early comment. Tsuki whispered a spell 

" compos mentis《in control of the mind》 concilio et labore《by wisdom and effort》"

The young girl's mind became unoccupied and her guard lowered completely. Tsuki smirked in victory ~I'm so awesome~ he smugly thought. 

Luke stared in wonder, he was amazed by Tsuki's control of his magic. Luka bragged to the captives quietly. 

Tsuki stretched his neck, fixing his posture. That spell isn't gonna last long. He better prepare for a fight, he stared at the blood dripping down her arms. ~interesting~
