Miko looked at Reiji, who just sent him flying with a fire attack.

“Was it that gun?”

Reiji had what appeared to be two Dessert Eagles, in both his hands. They were jet black, with a red hawk design. Steam was coming from the nozzles.

Miko was wondering if the fire that hit him came from the gun.

“Hey, rooster face.”

“Who are you call rooster face?!”

“Hahaha! Rooster face! Hahaha!”

“Shut up, Zetsu!”

Reiji was clearly angry at what Miko called him, and Zetsu was laughing.

“Do you intend to get in my way too?”

“I wouldn't attack you if I didn't.”

"You might...No. Considering my mood, you will die.”

“I don't think you're capable of that.”

“Is that so?”

Miko said nothing more, he charged towards Reiji with the intent to kill.

Reiji aimed one of his guns at Miko; he pulled the trigger, and said.

“Watch the heat.”

Miko saw it. From the gun came a pillar of fire, with an amazing speed.

Miko ducked under it, and continued his charge.

“Just where I want you.”

Reiji use his other gun, and fired at Miko. With the pillar still above his head, Miko was forced to dodge the side. He was then greeted by a kick from Reiji, which he blocked by using arms to shield his face.

Miko rolled away from Reiji and quickly got to his feet, but Reiji was already in front him. Miko was hit point-blank with a shot from Reiji's gun.

The spot were stood was engulfed in flames.

“……….hot.”

Miko laid on the floor and mutter that single word, while being burned alive. Seeing that, Reiji-

“This is first time since the boss that anyone has ever reacted this way to my attack.”

He couldn't hide the surprise from his voice.

Miko sprung to his feet, and looked at Reiji.

“Those weapons are a problem.”

He kicked one gun from Reiji's hand, and punched the surprised Reiji in the stomach.

“Guah?!”

He was forced to bend over, that's when Miko slapped the other gun out of his hand.

He then quickly stooped down, and uppercut Reiji.

Reiji fell to the ground holding his face.

“Ah! That hurt, you bastard!”

“Oh, I thought you were a normal human, since you’re kick was too weak for someone who fights with magic. But it seems that's not the case, since your head is still attached to your neck.”

“Weak?!”

“Hahaha!”

“Shut up, Zetsu!”

Reiji stood up and threw a punch at Miko, which he dodge by simply moving his head to the side. Reiji then got close to him, and placed his palm on Miko's chest. Reiji hand had a red glow, and then it happened.

“Tell me if this is too weak!”

An giant pillar of fire was emitted from Reiji's hand and devoured Miko. The pillar of fire burst through the wall and destroyed the room next door. The entire room was set ablaze, and Miko was nowhere to be found; he was most likely blown into the other room.

“Hey, don't destroy my hotel!”

Shouted Blanche.

Chrome put her hand on her forehead. She appears to have a headache.

“You moron! Why did you use your ‘Ignite Palm’ on a king?! What if you had killed him?! There's a reason why people would rather commit suicide than get caught by Nero,you know?!”

She complained.

“Calm down. He took my flame shot, and was fine afterwards. So, this won't kill him. But, I can't guarantee that all his bones are intact, and his skin isn't burnt pitch black though.”

Reiji walked over to the destroyed wall, and looked inside the room. He saw Miko laying on the ground, and engulfed in flames.

“But, I don't think you can call Zetsu a sadist anymore, Reiji.”

He turned his attention back to his comrades.

“And why is that, Nico?”

“I'm talking about those Dessert Eagles of yours. You use them to trick your opponent into believing that your flames can only be generated by them, when in reality you can create flames from any part of your body. What, do you love burning them when they have a surprised look on their faces?”

There was malice in Nico’s voice.

“Is that what get you off, you sick bastard?! What are you going to do if you ruined that beautiful face, that can be compared to Bloom’s?!”

“So that where the malice is coming from! It's a dude!”

“Shut up, Rooster face! Gender means nothing when it comes to beauty!”

“There's something wrong with what you just said-?!”

Reiji was going to retort the angry Nico, but he wasn't able to. He heard a sound coming from the burning room, and turn his head to see what it was.

“Eh?”

The members of silver crow suddenly felt a strong gust of wind past them, and heard a loud explosion behind them.

They slowly looked behind them, and saw someone lodged in the wall so deeply, that it was as if they had merged with it.

“Reiji!”

Bloom shouted.

“Ah~ my clothes are all burnt. And, I was planning to return them to the rightful owner too. Well, what's done is done.”

A carefree voice came from the blazing room. No. After giving it a closer look, all the flames were extinguished.

Bloom watched as Miko walked over the destroyed wall, and entered the Monsieur’s Room. His clothes were mostly burnt off; only a small portion of his shirt and pants were still in intact. Even so, Miko himself seemed perfectly fine.

He placed his hand on his neck, and applied some pressure to loosen the joints, with a creaking sound.

“Well, I'll admit that, that hurt quite a bit.”

Reiji tried to open his mouth to say something, but he couldn't -

“Sorry, I don't really feel like hearing your voice, right now.”

Miko jumped from across the room, and landed feet first in Reiji’s chest.

“Ugh!”

Reiji groaned in pain. Miko ignored him and used his body as a foot hold, and performed a somersault. He then charged at Reiji again, and punched him in the gut, chest, and face, numerous times.

1 punch. 5 punches. 10 punches. In under 5 seconds, miko punched Reiji over 25 times.

He stepped back. Pull his right arm behind him. Formed a fist covered in Qi and thrust it forward to finish the job.

“Hold it.”

Before Miko could finish off Reiji, he was tackled by Nico; whose body was covered with electricity.

The force from Nico’s tackle sent Miko rolling on the ground. He rolled, and stopped at the broken glass window; the same one he throw sapphire and the girls through.

“……..”

Miko silently looked up at the ceiling. He knew without looking that he was just inches away from rolling out the window. The fall wasn’t nearly enough to kill him, but it would be a pain to climb back up all the way to the top again.

“Having a fun time laying on the floor?”

Miko's thoughts were cut off by Nico’s voice coming from above him.

Miko saw it. He saw a bolt of lightning floating above him. And that lightning bolt, rapidly took the shape of a human. The human shaped lightning bolt thrust its fist at Miko's face.

Miko dodged by rolling to the side. The lightning fist hit the ground, and destroyed the spot where Miko's head once was.

Miko quickly sprung to his feet, and turn around to face the humanoid lightning bolt. But before he could readied himself, the lightning bolt was already in front of him.

“!”

The humanoid lightning bolt, swung it's leg and kicked Miko in the gut. The force lifted Miko into the air. The humanoid lightning bolt then returned back to its original shape, and floated in the air once again.

It hit Miko in the gut, sending him back towards the ground; and then, hit him in the back, before he could touch the ground, thus keeping him airborne. The lightning bolt repeated this several times. Sometimes it hit him from left to right, other times it kept hitting him in the back until he slammed into the ceiling. It continuously changed the pattern in how it attacked Miko.

“Nico, that's enough! Stopped attacking him!”

Bloom shouted.

Heeding to Bloom’s command, the lightning finally allowed Miko to hit the ground. His burnt body remained motionless.

The lightning bolt landed beside Bloom. It rapidly changed into a humanoid shape, and then finally discharged and turned back into Nico.

“Oi, rooster face. Are you still alive?”

“W-who are you calling rooster face, you stupid sadist?”

After responding to zetsu’s taunt, Reiji freed himself from the wall he was beaten deeply into. He landed on his knees, and started coughing up blood.

“Damn it. Cough. That bastard wasn't a pushover.”

“That's what you get for charging in alone. He's a young king for a reason.”

Chrome scolded him with a harsh tone.

“Bloom, why did you tell me to pull back? You saw how he took reiji’s attack like it was nothing, and how one punch from him extinguished all the flames in the room. That shouldn't be enough to kill him.”

Nico was confused as to why Bloom ordered him to pull back. Realizing that, Bloom answered him with a grim smile.

“It's true that his life wasn't in danger….”

Bloom looked at Miko's still motionless body; she could feel an eery feeling coming from it.

"But, your’s was…”

Nico opened his mouth to ask Bloom what she meant, but another voice spoke up first.

“Oh. That's some sharp instincts you got there, woman.”

"What the?! He shouldn't be able to move after taking such a beating!”

Exclaimed Nico. He watched as Miko sluggishly got to his feet. It was sluggish, but for reason intimidating. Miko ignored his surprised look and continued to speak.

“You made the right choice ordering him to retreat when you did.”

Miko finally stood firmly.

“I was getting a little pissed, you see.”

He opened his eyelids, and showed his purple draconic eyes.

“I was going to rip his wind pipe from out of his throat.”

(Wasn't his eyes blue, earlier?)

Bloom noticed the change in Miko's aura. Not only that, the change in his eyes as well.

“Everyone be on alert- eh?”

Bloom spoke too late.

In a split second, Miko closed the distance between him and Nico.

“Do your best to survive.”

Saying that, Miko uppercut Nico, which he barely dodge.

The uppercut was so powerful that not only did the force from it, rip Nico’s undershirt; it also made a hole in the ceiling.

“Damn it!”

Nico’s desperate dodge made him lose his balance. Miko didn't miss that chance. He aimed a kick at Nico's head. Nico desperately blocked it with arm.

“Ugh!”

The kick broke his arm, and forced him across the room. He didn't have anytime to recover, Miko accelerated in front of him in a split second. He thrust two of his fingers forward. His aim was Nico's eyeballs. He was intending to gouge Nico's eyes out his head.

“Wait, you bastard!”

Reiji sped towards Miko. He emitted flames from his palms to fly through the air. He was using a method similar to what rockets used.

“Eat this!”

He stopped the flames that were coming from his palms midway. He then rolled his body into a ball, and made his head and feet switch positions. He was planning to use the momentum to add force to himself and kick Miko from the side.

“Eh?”

But, it didn't work. Reiji feet only touched air. Miko jumped before Reiji could attack him.

“Not knowing when you're outmatch will only led to death.”

Miko stomped the airborne Reiji into the ground.

“Ugh!”

Reiji coughed up a large amount of blood.

Miko then used his foot to lift Reiji into the air, he then jumped and kicked Reiji in the side.

Like a soccer ball, Reiji bounced a few times before slamming into the wall.

“……..”

Miko sensed that Nico was attempting to sneak attack him, so he spun midair and slammed Nico's head in the wall with a kick.

The kick was so strong that it broke the two feet thick Neo-concrete wall.

Miko landed on his feet, and started to walk over to Blanche. When…

“Ugh?! What the?!”

He suddenly felt an intense pain in his head. His ears were ringing, and the pain was so intense that he was brought to his knees.

“W-who?”

Miko endured the pain and scanned the room. He saw Chrome with her headphones on, and stretching her hand towards him.

“….Her, huh? Does she use Sound Magic like Sora?”

Miko knew that the pain would leave him wide open if he tried to attack her directly. That's why he did what he did.

“This going to hurt like hell…”

Miko took two of his fingers, and stabbed into both of his ears. They started to bleed.

He had raptured his eardrums without hesitation.

“Wha?!”

Miko's actions shocked everyone in the room. It was something that no one would expect a 13year old boy to do.

“…Now then.”

Miko ignored everyone's shock expression, and charged towards Chrome.

Chrome stretched her hand towards Miko, but she was too slow compared to Sora.

Miko leaped into the air and landed behind her.

He then grabbed the headphones off her head and destroyed it. He knew from experience that the headphones helped control her power.

He then tried to grab her again, but he suddenly lost his balance.

“!”

It wasn't that he slipped because he was clumsy. The floor suddenly began moving unnaturally.

“Shit!”

Miko tried to jump, but it was already too late. The metal floor wrapped around Miko and mold itself into a giant ball, which trapped him inside.

“My 200 Gold coins headphones!”

Chrome screamed out in agony. She looked like was about cry tears of blood.

Chrome walked over to the giant floating ball of metal and started to kick it.

“Damn you, you damn pretty boy! Give me back my headphones! Give me back my hard earned 200 gold pieces! You monster!”

“Oi, oi, oi. Don't kick it. It disturbs my concentration.”

The one who said that with a irritated tone was Zetsu. He held out his right hand as if he was gripping a ball.

“Beside he won't hear you, since he raptured his eardrums.”

“Like I care! Pay me back my 200 gold damn it!”

Chrome continued to hit the metal ball.

“Good job, Zetsu. Thanks to you I don't have step in.”

Bloom praised Zetsu from the side, but Zetsu didn't seem to like the fact that he was praised.

(...That was too easy. He was able to manhandle Nico, our best hand to hand fighter and Reiji, who has the most fire power out of all of us.)

Zetsu was wondering if Miko got caught on purpose.

“It's because he raptured his eardrums.”

Bloom spoke as if she could read Zetsu’s thoughts.

“He figured out that Chrome had a sound base ability, and immediately rid himself of his hearing. Well, if Chrome wanted to kill him she could have targeted his heart and lungs, rather than his brain.”

“Are you saying that he knew that Chrome only wanted to disable him rather than kill him, and that's why did what he did? Is he crazy or stupid?”

Zetsu looked at the metal ball that he was controlling with an amazed expression.

“Well, he can't escape from this so easily. When I molded the floor into a ball, I made sure that he was in position where he can't use any of his strength without damaging his spinal cord or joints. Plus this is anti-Magic steel so he can't blast his way out.”

Miko's body was forced to bend in a unnatural arc shape. If he tries free himself he will only damage his body. There was also the anti-magic steel that nullifies all forms of magic under [SS Class]. With those two factors, Miko was considered captured.

“So, Blanche. There you have it, you're safe for now.”

Blanche sigh of relief when he heard that.

“Kyaa!”

“What is it,Chrome?!”

Hearing Chrome’s sudden scream, Zetsu looked in her direction.

“I heard a banging sound from inside, it startled me.”

“Banging? It can't be....is he trying to escape, even though it will destroy his spine?!”

Zetsu could also hear the banging sound, Chrome spoke of.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

With every bang, Zetsu could see a bulge being created in the ball.

"Oi, oi. That ball is reinforced with enough pressure to crush an armored plane, you know. And, you're telling me that he's trying to burst out of it. Doesn't this guy care if he paralyzes himself?”

The banging sound continued for a few seconds, and then an arm burst out of the metal ball. That was all Miko needed.

The arm retracted back into the ball, and immediately after the metal ball bursts like a ballon, and Miko landed on the floor.

Zetsu didn't waste time.

He lift both arms forward, and from his sleeves came thousands of bolts, springs, screws, and other small mechanical parts. These parts floated in front of Zetsu and began to assemble together; as if they had a mind of their own.

"Oh..."

Miko watched as the small mechanical parts formed to large guns.

Zetsu gripped the guns, and aimed them at Miko.

“Now then, let's party!”

Zetsu fired the guns at Miko, and he jumped to the side. The wall behind him was destroyed.

“My hotel!”

Screamed Blanche.

Miko charged towards Zetsu.

"!"

Miko sense hostility from both sides, and stopped and leap backwards.

He saw a bolt of lightning and a pillar of fire collide into each other, thus causing a huge explosion.

“Oi! Respect other people’s property!”

Blanche complained.

Miko popped beside of him, and caught him off guard.

“For a dead man, you sure talk a lot.”

He swung his foot aiming for Blanche's head.

And, again he failed to kill him.

“For someone who should have a broken spine, you sure move around a lot.”

Chrome blocked Miko's kick with a kick of her own.

Miko rushed to the opposite side of Blanche, and tried to kick him again. And, Chrome again blocked it.

“Oh, you're pretty tough for some with such thin limbs.”

“Why, thank you.”

After exchanging words, Miko and Chrome’s kicking match began. Every time Miko tried to kill Blanche with a kick, Chrome would always block it.

They soon began aiming their kicks at each other, and had forgotten about Blanche completely.

Chrome aimed a kick at Miko's neck. He blocked with his arm and returned a kick of his own. She ducked under it, and tried to knee him in the face. He dodged it with a backflip.

“Not bad, but like I said earlier. Did you forget that you're wearing a skirt?”

“Don't worry, I always wear spats under my skirts, in case I run into any perverts trying to take a peep. That way, I keep the killing a minimum.”

“Scary~”

“I don't want to hear that from a guy who burst his eardrums just to block my power!”

Chrome charged towards Miko, he did the same.

Miko lifted his leg up in the air as high as could, and swung it down with a powerful force.

Chrome rolled the left to dodge it. Miko then aim a low kick to break her legs, but she jumps over it and landed behind him.

Miko quickly turned around swinging his elbow. She ducked under it and place her palm on his chest.

“This is for my headphones!”

A shockwave came out of Chrome’s palm, followed by a loud noise.

“Gah!”

Miko was slammed into the wall, and he coughed up blood. He was forced sit on the ground and lean on the wall.

“Impressive, Chrome. You're the only one to do actually damage.”

Reiji walked up to Chrome quite sluggishly. It was obvious that he took a lot of damage.

Chrome looked to her right and saw that Nico was guarding Blanche. His heavy breathing was a sign that he also took quite a beating.

“But still, for it to take four of us just to defend Blanche, this Miko guy is no joke.”

Said Zetsu.

“At least it hasn't reach the point where Bloom needs to step in.”

Replied Chrome.

“Yeah, if we need all of us to take on one guy, I might die of embarrassment.”

Said Nico.

Bloom didn't join in, and just watched as Miko slowly stood up.

(This is bad…We have to end this now, or someone might die…)

Bloom opened her mouth to issue new orders, but Miko spoke before her.

“Sigh~ I've really gotten rusty in the last couple of weeks. I was forced to rapture my eardrums, and I had to dislocate all my joints just so that I can escape an iron ball. This really isn't my day. Sigh~”

He was complaining out loud, and even revealed the trick to how he escaped.

He looked at the faces of Reiji, Nico, Zetsu then Chrome.

“Pyrokinesis, Electric manipulation, Magnetic Manipulation, and Sound Manipulation. They're all pain in ass abilities to defend against. So, I'm done defending. I'm just going to crush everyone and be on my way.”
