"I am not a hypocrite." Her voice sounded coldly re monts before her attack landed.
WHAMMM!!
Her massive greatsword smashed inconsequentially on my left arm.
However, she was not fazed one bit by the complete lack of results her furious attack wrought.
She used the power from the recoil of her attack to enter into another swing and attacked with greater force!
BAMMM!!
Her greatsword struck at my cha's weak underarm!
It truly was an impressive attack. The power that she unleashed and the tricky angle in which she launched her attack to reach such a difficult-to-reach spot all showed that this girl was no ordinary ten year old.
Her enhancent may well go beyond that of her physical body.
BAMMM!!
She launched a mighty kick at !
But all she managed to do was to fall backwards.
"You should give-"
BOOOMM!!!!
A powerful beam of energy attack suddenly appeared and smashed onto her upraised arm!
"HEY!" I shouted indignantly and quickly turned around to face the sneak attacker.
As you all know, I hate sneak attackers! IF they are not on my side, of course. But on that day, I had no one except Tes on my side.
But alas for , and for the brave girl, the Grand lee was an unforgiving event, especially during the initial minutes. If you're on the ground and alone, you're almost sure to be "killed" within seconds.
And if you're on the ground, alone, and were located beside a cha with a massive red glow that reached the skies worth TEN tis a normal cha in points, then you're definitely dead as soon as you reach the ground.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
I turned around only to face more than a hundred rciless rifle beams raining down on us!
On , mostly, but not a few landed on the poor girl as well.
She was doing extrely well, dodging this way and that, and blocking the undodgeable ones with her arms and legs, but she was rely extending the inevitable.
If nothing happened, she would "die" in seconds.
What else could I do? She was a brave girl getting pumled rcilessly by the enemy, and she was in that position completely because of !
Yes, yes, I could just leave her alone. Yes, yes, rcy to our enemies is poison to our allies.
I know all that. But for so strange reason, I was absolutely compelled to act at that mont.
I leapt in front of her to shield her with my indestructible body. Well not really, but in front of all these practice chas, it might as well be.
"Get up. Quick! You'll "die" if you stay down much longer! And for God's sake, grab a shield!" I shouted at her.
"I can't." She said very simply. "My arms and legs are shot to pieces."
At that ti, I truly, truly had no idea why I did what I did next. Many people had asked why, and my answer was an honest "I have no idea.".
Of course nobody believed then, and I couldn't care less what they thought.
But it was a strange decision, nonetheless, and one that kept awake so nights and made do not a little bit of soul searching.
I only realized why I did it a few long months later, when she was already an indispensable part of our group.
A small part as to why I did it was, obviously, guilt. I had robbed her of her cha and dispersed her twenty team mates from her side. She was about to "die" because of .
The main reason was, however, admiration.
Not love, as most gossip mongers that pretend to be news outlets claim. It was honest to god admiration.
She was extrely clear of my strength, and still she chose to fight . And all for what? Just to prove that she wasn't a hypocrite.
Damn it, she was really cool back then.
It was like she was standing on a railway track and facing an incoming freight train with her sword raised high, completely unafraid and ready to swing her sword at it even though it ant certain death for her.
It was folly, pure and simple. Stupidity in its purest form, even.
But it was also insanely impressive.
I had recognized in her an ability to do sothing which I wouldn't - no, couldn't do. And hell, I was impressed.
And I couldn't watch soone so stupidly brave and courageous bow out of the Grand lee so early!
And so I grabbed her with my left hand, and then charged out of the area at high speed.
"Let go!" The girl shouted with a surprised voice.
"Just chill, and make sure you don't die." I shouted back as I maneuvered my cha skillfully to dodge most of the rifle fire.
With my extrely high RPL that was probably beyond 95 by that point in ti, I was able to control the cha like my own body.
Sudden changes in direction, speed and acceleration were not a problem for !
I made a zig zag approach to the largest cluster of chas who were firing at us.
The rciless fire from all the other chas around us continued unabated, even after I had reached the chas!
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The rifle fire from chas far behind us began to reap the "lives" of the other chas that were near .
"Damn it! I'm outta here!" I could hear one kid scream.
"No you're not!" I shouted furiously and charged at him.
"AHHH!!! SAVE E! SAVE-"
BAM!
My spear smashed his head into pieces and he imdiately powered down.
I glared at the rest of the chas who were scrambling to get out of my range and the range of the other chas firing at them.
"It would be tough to hunt them down with a lee weapon." I realized.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Rifle fire from all around continued to rain down on .
"I won't last much longer." The girl said calmly.
I was unable to dodge all of the attacks, and quite a number of rifle beams had successfully hit her.
"Damn it!" I cursed loudly. "You're not dying. Not under my watch!!"
"There's nothing you can do. Not unless you can shut down a hundred chas all at once."
I sighed deeply.
And then I said…
"I can."
