Elsa lunged towards her target in an attempt to quickly remove Nero's intenstines, but before she could reach him, Nero was already in his stance, prepared to kick her to oblivion.

"Yes good job Nero, teach that whore a lesson!"

"Ara Ara, that posture looks dangerous. I wonder if I should start with your friend over there." she said as she closed in on Subaru with an extreme speed.

There it is, her real speed, however I've already seen it once, she won't be able to get to Subaru in time.

"Aaah lolicon Nero help me!!" he cried as he tried running the opposite way Elsa was coming from.

As Nero rushed in to quickly save Subaru, an unexpected thing happened and Elsa stopped in one place.

Subaru and Nero looked at her in confusion.

"Are you a lolicon? Cuz there is a friend of mine that wants a boyfriend but she is too short and no one really wants a kid. Would you consider? I could introduce you." she said as she winked at him.

Nero looked angry as he destroyed her daggers with a hook kick

"Fuck you! You will die in a few minutes. You can′t really introduce her to me if you die." smiled Nero

"Oh, so you didn′t deny being a lolicon then haha"

They continued their talk while exchanging some light blows.

"If you are trying to provoke me, then go ahead. My mental is strong." said Nero as he started undressing himself.

"Ara Ara. Is this some kind of tactic to get me turned on? I am sorry, but my fighting ability won't diminish. You might as we-" Elsa stopped herself mid sentence.

Look of utter disbelief was shown on her face.

As Nero was undressing himself, rather than to stare at his body, which she did too by the way, she looked at the weights he carried. Five weights about 10 kg heavy.

He was fighting with those on and he could still keep up with my fastest attacks? Is he still human? He might be on par with that Reinhard guy.

I might not be able to catch up to him this time.

"Training weights? Talk about old fashioned haha" she mocked Nero.

"Nah, well, maybe yes, but its still the best way to get stronger from what I've known." smiled Nero.

He still didn't use his sword. I am quite afraid what to expect, since his kicks hurt a lot. If I were to be hit by his sword, It might actually be hard for me to survive.

Little did she know, that Nero had only a basic training of kendo, while he was a Grandmaster of Taekwondo, he wasn′t that good in the way of a sword. He just bought the katana because he always wanted one.

After putting down his weights, Nero started stretching himself.

"What are you doing?" asked Elsa.

"I will show you the way my clan fights."

He said as he took a basic taekwondo stance.

"I am the most skilled Taekwondo fighter in our country. The 10th dan fighter. As per my clan rules, I request a life and death duel."

"Well sure, but I don't think that I would be dying any time soon haha" laughed Elsa.

"Sure let's start"

With but only low grunts now escaping him, Nero drew his arm close to his chest and hunched over as something seemed to be happening to him.

Air around him started to deflate, as pieces of rubble floated in mid air.

"Freefall Taekwondo Technique: Cry Of The Banshee!"

Nero readied himself and with incredible speed almost as if teleportedbehind Elsa.

"What?!! How are you so fast?!!" Elsa was shocked and couldn't react in time.

I didn't even blink and he was gone, how is he so fast?! Before she could dodge she heard a whisper in her ear.

"6th kick of Eden. The Curse Of Genesis."

Shit! I won't be able to dodge this one. She prepared for the impact.

The impact of the kick was tremendous, as nearby walls were destroyed by the powerful shockwave.

"Nero!" shouted Subaru in worry.

"This battle is ridiculous Felt, we better hide somewhere." said the old man

"Yep." little girl nodded in affirmation.

...

"Where do you think we should find help? No one wants to talk with an half-elf like me. I hate myself so much." said Emilia.

"Don't be like that Lia. We will definitely get that insignia back, I promise." smiled Puck.

Emilia grabbed Puck and hugged him tightly. "You are the only family I have, and I will believe you."

"Thank you Lia, wait, do you see that guy? Is that who I think it is?"

"I don't know him, is that your friend Puck?"

"No, more like our opposition." Puck's face darkened.

"Oh, Hello there, I believe you are Puck and Emilia right? Said the red haired man."

"Yeah, my insignia for the Royale selection was stolen, and we are trying to find the culprit. What's your name?"

"My name is Reinhard Van Astrea. The current swordsaint. I was on patrol and thought that you guys might need help, how about I go with you?"

"Sure, we were just about to reunite with our friends, however it looks like they are late. Puck what do we do? How can we find them?"

"For now, let's go the way they went, I am pretty sure that we will find them after some time" right as he said that, a powerful shockwave hit them.

"Hoh, you've got some powerful friends, miss Emilia, looks like they are fighting someone, let's go and provide them some support." said Reinhard.

""Yeah""

After a few seconds, they arrived at the place. However, they were too shocked to respond. About 7 nearby houses were decimated, after they took a look around, they saw Nero standing there in a kicking pose, in front of him, there was something that somewhat resembled human, or something, that was human not too long ago. Sadly only legs remained planted on the ground, and everything above legs was gone. You could see a tiny bit of her spine pointing out and ger guts and organs laying on the ground.

"Puck I-I think I might vomit" said Emilia as she tried stabilizing her body but to no avail, she quickly found a good spot so that no one would see her and vomited her lunch from Puck.

"Huuuuuf" Nero took a deep breath before breaking his fighting posture.

"It looks like it's over" he said as he picked up his shirt and weights, put them back on and walked towards Subaru.

"S-She is gone"

"Only her legs had remained. I have never seen someone that strong."

"That's my Bro right there haha. He obliterated that whore into nothingness."

Looks like Subaru is still angry about her killing Emilia so brutally.

Little girl, old man and subaru looked at the aftermath in awe, respect and fear.

They wondered what would happen, if he was their enemy. They shuddered at the thought. Subaru came back to his senses and ran towards Nero.

"Daddy, how strong are you really? How about you teach this brother of yours a trick or two haha."

"Haha, she was pretty strong. At the beginning, I wanted to have a light spar with her, however I couldn't keep up with her when I had my weights on and when I didn't use any techniques."

"What were those techniques?"

"First one was called Freefall Taekwondo Technique: Cry Of The Banshee.

I simply focus on speed. I focus every part of my body into the technique to cause a massive speed burst. I practically teleported behind her.

The second technique was one of my secret techniques.

My curse kicks. Well, you know about them since one killed you haha.

This was The 6th kick of Eden. The Curse Of Genesis.

I kicked her with my raw strength with a maximum speed to create a shockwave. You've seen the results. "

"wow, do you have more of them?"

"Yeah, about 8 actually. So far you've only seen 2. And both of them were able to defeat my enemy." snickered Nero.

"Ara Ara, that hurt quite a bit."

The impossible happened. Every single person turned around in horror to take a look at the figure, which has been previously destroyed to almost nothing.

"Heh, you are such a good woman actually. They said that healing potions can't regenerate cut off limbs, and here you are, regenerating almost from nothing. What a badass woman." Smiled Nero.

"How is she still alive??"

"That's impossible.."

"Is she immortal?"

Everyone was shocked, other than Nero. He was pleasantly surprised that she survived one of his kicks. That hasn't happened to him before.

"Is she a demon or immortal?" asked Emilia.

"There is no way either of those things exist." Puck disagreed immediately.

"I've came to help, however it looks like that interfering with this fight might actually ruin your friend's fun haha" said Reinhard unsure of what to do himself.

"May I know which country is senior from? I don′t feel like senior is a simple traveler from the way you were fighting till now haha. Seems like a Human Monster to me." Elsa quickly tried to change her way of speaking as not to anger the possibly much stronger foe.

"Senior? Nah, do I really look that old? Like I said, I really like you girl however,

it′s really regretful that you are my enemy."

Do I really need to use another one of my kicks to finish her off?

"Stop, I give up" she said as she put her hands up in the air to surrender.

"What, why?" Nero looked confused.

"I am not your match, and my immorality isn't unlimited, I can die a few times, however after a while, I might turn into a mindless monster, and I don't want that. Can't believe that the first mission I failed as an assasin was in this dump. Argh.. Please let me go. I know that it was a life and death duel, but still.." pleaded Elsa.

"Well, it was a life and death duel, and you have technically died, so that's that.

You can go." replied Nero.

"Thank you sweetheart. I will definitely refer you to my loli friend. See you later."

"Fuck you actually, what the hell, I ain't a lolicon. Get back here! ."

"Oh but before I go, I still need to do something."

Said Elsa as she rushed towards Subaru and cut through his stomach with her daggers.

"There you have it you bastard. Call this pure maiden, a whore again and next time I will cut off your head." said Elsa as she disappeared.

"Subaru!!" Emilia quickly ran towards him just to see that he was out cold.

"No! Is Subaru dead?!"

Please god, don't even think about it, I don't want to fight her again pointlessly just for her to surrender. Anyway, her cuts weren't deep, she was holding back a bit. He fainted from the shock. Nothing serious.

"Please, here is your insignia, don't hurt us." said the little girl.

Oh, she looks cute, like a doll. Nero control yourself. Defy her cuteness.

"Oh. Uhm. Yeah. Sure." before grabbing the insignia, Reinhard rushed in between them and put the little girl to sleep with his magic.

"She is really the one, the chosen Royale candidate."

"Oi. Explain what you did to that loli right now, or else suffer through one of my kicks." Nero looked visibly pissed off. How can someone attack a little girl? Unforgivable.

"I am sorry, I needed to take action. It looks like she is the chosen Royale candidate for the Royale selection."

"Another chosen candidate.. How many are there even?" Asked Nero.

"About 5?, anyway I need to go now. You are really strong. I would like to spar with you later. So far there wasn't anyone as strong as me in this generation. And I am pumped up. My name is Reinhard Van Astrea The Strongest Sword Saint."

"Heh. The name is Nero, The 10th dan Grandmaster of Taekwondo Martial arts.
