No job is tough for Masami, even if he was just a child viewed by many. He had accomplishments, so that was a thing. When he was given the job to hunt down a certain man with a bounty, he immediately readied himself to Caberet Crescent, where they said such man was lurking in. The information provided regards the target wasn't so specific, all the letter mentioned was that the said man was tough, and fearsome, even. They also didn't provide a name because the bounty was already identifiable, and Masami wasn't the type to ask people about who a certain man is. He didn't have Kurisa, the woman who had adopted her, to accompany him in this mission. Apparently, Caberet Crescent is a lot more cleaner compared to Crimson Quarters, where drunkards may simply lay everywhere without their own notice, and gangs piling up on every corner. The path where Masami was walking in was quiet, and the alcoholics knew where they are positioned.

With a mask by the side of his head, people knew who he was, but that wasn't the same for Masami. There was no way he was able to understand rumors 'less he understood them in Joyan, and he isn't good at names when it comes to people he has never met yet, either. It was already a miracle that Masami'd step up to a crowd of fellows, uncertain whether they were beyond the shadows or if the lamp post still shone upon their position in this evening, but eventually he had grown to ask them: "I have got bounties to claim, would you be so kindhearted as to offer the child what their master had asked them?

It was yet another night at Hosenka for the mercenary. The last couple of days he’d gone all out on enjoying his free diurnal time. However, today was different. Kenzo was what one would consider the embodiment of the expression work hard, play hard, but he was surprised to notice that it didn’t quite excite him like before. Tonight, he simply wanted some peace. Hosenka had been quite an adventure. He had been dealing with troublesome bounty hunters for a long time now. At least once every other day would he need to fend them off, so he had grown used to them. Jumping on top of the roof of a nearby building, the male walked aimlessly through the neighborhood of Cabaret Crescent. Contrary to the Crimson Quarters, he felt much more at peace here. Only few people walked through the streets at this hour, so he enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere.

Tumbling over the tiled roof of one particularly tall building, the mercenary placed both hands on the back of his head as he gazed at the sky. It was particularly starred that day, with some constellations in view. Soon enough, the Bellan mercenary completely lost track of time, immersed in the beauty of the night skies. However, this was not to last much longer. A couple of people gathered near a lamp post near the man’s position. They looked completely out of place, as if they were planning to do something wicked. Paying them no mind, the warrior decided to simply leave them to their own business. However, his ear eventually picked up the words of one of them that would catch him off guard. ”Did he say bounty?” Kenzo mumbled to himself. In that moment, the man’s survival instincts kicked in, releasing a stream of adrenaline down his blood and putting him on high alert. If the group of people near the lamp post lifted their heads ever so slightly towards the building, they’d definitely be able to see Kenzo.

Rolling around, the male silently tried to climb away from their sight. Unfortunately, Kenzo’s stealthy maneuver backfired epically with a *clang* sound. The tiles of the roof started sliding against one another, suddenly releasing a chain reaction that made them fall down the roof and towards the ground. As he was standing on top of them, Kenzo found himself at their mercy. ”Shit” The man’s words came out too late. Soon enough, his foot slipped, and he fell to the ground along the multitude of tiles. The impact with the ground was strong, making his body ache all over. The disaster had caused quite a ruckus, so there was no way the guys talking about bounties had not heard him. Slowly rising his head, Kenzo flashed a nervous smile at the people in front of him as he opened his palm towards them. ”Yo!” The only thing he hoped for, was that none of them were actually looking for him.

It doesn't look like anyone knows which bounty the kid was looking for, as he should've known that most of the people here in Caberet Crescent has, in fact, a bounty... at least it wasn't as worse as the people from Crimson Quarters. When these men recognized the child with the mask, their laughs were brought to an immediate halt, leaving them only to stare at Masami with confused (and afraid) faces, slowly lowering their glasses of beers, and then looking at each other to look for who to blame. Masami continued to approach them, "Surely, you people know who I am looking for?"

And there it was, the slipping of feet. These drunken men followed the sound, but Masami continued to gaze over the men's eyes as to perceive whether that sound was a distraction or not. Eventually, they ran away after recognizing who the man was... perhaps they were more afraid of him rather than Masami? The boy was greeted with a casual "Yo!" as if the person who uttered that wasn't guilty at all – but when Masami made a quick gaze at the man, he believed that it fit the papers... 'Jackpot?' His relaxed arms came to a downwards stretch, and immediately his mana infused with four spirit balls that surrounded him. Although Masami didn't say anything, assuming the man had already understood what was going to happen in the end (which was, getting the job done), he raised his hand in front of him and swiftly, the four spirit balls charged towards the blue-haired lad in a row.

Come to think of it, this wasn't the sort of venue to be fighting, either, even though it was dark. These sorts of scenarios had already happened a bunch of times already. Right after the hand motion, Masami placed the same palms over his eyes, and then opening the fingers as to finally see in the dark, as easy as it was mentioned. At least, this was an easy enough attack as to learn about his opponent. Masami had already learned how to avoid charging into larger or seemingly stronger opponents, thus he kept the distance instead of charging in at first. Might as well claim a bounty, too, if he was successful in the end.

Despites Kenzo’s hope of settling matters in a peaceful manner, it seemed that all went down the drain. As soon as the guys at the lamp post noticed him, they started running. For some reason, this had started to become a trend. Ever since a couple of weeks ago, people had started to recognize him way more than before. He couldn’t blame them though. Considering his face was plastered in every wanted poster in the country, it came to no surprise, even more since his physical appearance was one that blended easily at all. The cursed jawbone by his check had become quite of a trademark thing, generating rumors around about Kenzo’s demonic nature. Even if he was annoyed by them, he was at least relieved that people grew scared of those stories, leaving him be more than not. As he saw the drunken male run in panic, the Bellan warrior sighed in relief while he started dusting and straightening his clothes. However, he made a single mistake. Thinking his troubles had just escaped, he failed to notice the masked kid preparing a spell.

A wave of heat suddenly startled the warrior, lifting his head up, Kenzo was too late to react to the blast that made full impact against his body. The four flame orbs reached the mercenary’s torso, burning through his shirt and into his body. The pain was bearable, but nonetheless hurt. ”Ghh!” Kenzo mumbled as he was blown back a bit. He had made a mistake, and now he was paying for it. Angry by the sudden attack, the warrior finally took a look at this night’s unfortunate bounty hunter. ”Oi!! What’s the big idea, you-“ Kenzo paused for a second with surprise. ”….kid?”

Standing before him, a kid with a mask readied yet another spell. Lunging backwards in an instant, Kenzo shook off his initial surprise to better assess the situation. He was not keen on fighting a boy, but there was nothing he could do against it. The mask prevented Kenzo from seeing who he really was, but something about him seemed familiar. Assuming a fighting stance, the warrior instantly materialized the large golden blade hidden within his pocket dimension ring. Swinging it from his side, he pointed at him before giving him a final warning. ”Last chance kid… Get out of here before things get ugly for you” Though his words urged the (boy/girl?) to go away, the Bellan warrior couldn’t help but feel his blood boiling. They were now around 10 meters apart, so Kenzo could burst into action if needed. As he waited for an answer, he could hardly contain his excitement. Kenzo’s right eye suddenly lit up in a blue-ish bright flame, activating his ability to see perfectly around him. Something inside the man told him that fighting against that stranger would be more fun than usual.

Suddenly, Masami was reminded of his own guild master. Apparently, swords immediately remind Masami of warriors, and Joyan samurais—the fact that this man understood Masami's language had allowed him to re-construct his feelings for the scenario. "Man, sending a kid to fight some high-ranked mage..." Masami sighed after his muffled speech went ahead of him, slightly complaining for having to waste energy trying to fight a man... or maybe the client wanted to use Masami as bait to tire the target out, and then they would pop out of nowhere to capture them. Still, it was a mean idea to use a kid for a job like this; Masami uttered a quiet "Hokori (Pride)." under his breath, and flames out of mana surrounded him—embodying him—turning him into a form that, fortunately, he was getting used to. Despite Masami's enhanced feminine attributes from this form, the clothing that revealed more skin divulged a more masculine feel, but not that such an idea mattered in a fight,

This target had caught Masami's interest – what exactly did this man do that makes him such an expensive asset? Considering that he was at his two-millions, he must've done more than taking lollipops from children and stealing goods and Jewels from the neighboring shop. The way that he acted as if he didn't know what he was getting himself into (as Masami was assuming that, if you have a large bounty, you should be prepared for bounty hunters) ticked Masami off a little—was he trying to bluff the kid, assuming that they didn't know anything? That's what Masami felt;s he stood in front of a man who had a Joyan sword, in which resembled few of the swords in the theater, in which they use for props. Masami assumed that it was stolen, since he fell under the impression that his target was a big criminal, so he didn't have time to become amazed for witnessing a Joyan sword, which could have been real for all this time.

It only took him a small breath to form a magic circle right in front of the mask, spewing a jet of flames right at the eye of the circle; Masami had to rely on his companion, a possessed mask, which would fight alongside him, since Masami isn't so good at combat in general. It spewed at a single direction—the north—Masami only had one target in mind. Usually, thugs would get themselves burnt as simply by getting hit by only a single fire ball from the same spell, but this man was different, and was worthy of his bounty numbers—the kid wasn't up for any sort of communication while he is in this state. The jet of flames would immediately disappear if it hit, Masami was unsure of how it would feel like if it did hit, as being attacked by flames felt different for him compared to normal humans, but he was sure that definitely, it would hurt.

Sadly for the kid and fortunately for the mercenary, it seemed that his words fell on deaf ears. Instead of agreeing to stop his attack, he seemed to start to get even more serious. Flames burst seemingly out of nowhere, embodying him completely before revealing his new appearance. His/Her hair grew longer, giving him/her? a more feminine look. However, this was not what caught the mercenary’s attention. Instead, Kenzo could feel an ominous presence looming over the boy. It felt familiar, something that he’d faced in the past many moons ago. It was the same feeling he had back at the fateful night when his world would take a turn forever. As he gripped Masamune with both hands and placed it in front of him, he was certain that the presence surrounding the kid’s new form was that of a demon.

”Tch!” Was all Kenzo said as he grit his teeth. The golden sword in his hand shone as the pale rays of the moon bounced off the magnificent blade. Masamune was a sword of myths and legends in Joya, forged by the gods themselves. The fact that he was fighting someone speaking Joyan that day at Hosenka, Fiore’s Joyan city, was rather ironic. Regardless, Kenzo found no irony on the battle at hand. He was still unsure as to the identity of his attacker, given the mask on his face. However, he was certain he was his enemy. Kenzo had made it his goal in life to slay all demons, so he might as well start with the one in front of him. As a magic circle started forming in front of the kid, a scary smirk appeared in Kenzo’s face. ”This is my lucky day~”

A stream of flames instantly burst into Kenzo, flying through the air and lighting the dimly lit street. However, the warrior did not budge from his place. Instead he simply slashed at it with both hands in a downwards manner, effectively sapping every trace of mana from the air, making the jet of fire disappear into nothing. He had been cursed by a demon in the past, becoming unable to use magic. Now, the blade in his hand allowed him to triumph even over demon magic. Without wasting a single second, Kenzo would lunge forward, closing the distance between the two of them in a bit under a second. As soon as Masami came into reach, the warrior would slash at him with his sword in a with a horizontal strike from left to right, aiming at his right arm and torso. In case the kid decided to do something else entirely that would put the warrior in a disadvantage while he lunged, Kenzo would still decide to deal with it interrupting his original plan. His right eye glowing in fiery blue flames would allow him to see anything that came his way either way.

Masami, if he were to be honest, didn't know what he got himself into, but he had hoped that he was correct when he assumed that he was being used as bait (even if that wasn't a good thing, either) and that in the end, his target would get captured by the clients that sent the kid in this mission. Masami wasn't even able to fixate his eyes on what was happening, as usually he'd compare every attack to the speed of his guild master's Caelum swords, and then everything would feel alright; when his target lunged at him, Masami didn't even think that he was able to breathe in this turn.

The magic circle had finished forming in front of Masami's chest, just in time as the target was going to swing his sword. When Masami's body was engulfed in a sheet of fire, he felt as if his body peeled in half after casting that spell twice, in which had created more distance between him and the blue-haired lad by sending Masami himself backwards. "Shi—" along came his muffled voice, even if the threatening situation disallowed him to speak. At that point, he had felt threatened—usually, his clients would send Masami because they knew that the kid would take them out in an easy pace but... could it be that they underestimated the man with the two-million bounty? If it was possible, then he must've killed a whole city... or at least he was capable of it! When Masami's feet met the ground once more, slightly causing him to slide after the spell finished like a roller-coaster ride, giving the kid more time to breathe, Masami faced his opponent after sliding his mask back to the side. Now, he would be able to breathe properly, and gaze at his surroundings with no limit.

What came to Masami was another mask—after the dashing spells, he grabbed his own face, extracting more mana from it, and it was as if he peeled his own face off to produce another mask, in which he had pointed towards the target. Immediately, this mask flew towards the direction Masami pointed at—he stretched his crossed arms, and then hopped. "Kojiki!" was the spell's name that he shouted, and upon that command he had a magic circle appear right below him, and it transmogrified into a solid platform when Masami stepped on it. He hopped the second time immediately after the first one to land at the second platform—the first platform disappearing right after Masami released his junction from it—and upon that became his gateway to step on the roofs of the buildings in the location of where he and the target was located in; the same thing happened to the second platform. The blue-haired lad with the sword should be easy to spot in this distance, and Masami's now-sanguine eyes should be informing him about when he gets close. With the thermal vision, Masami could at least see the said man even with obstacles, as long as he doesn't get too far off. He was too focused on the enemy that he had forgotten how to identify his surroundings, and how the people and the crowd reacted when they heard light slamming noises by their roofs.

Now that he's in the higher ground, he waited for the man to do something... or say anything, perhaps enough to stall some time before the clients appear to take the lad away. Will he chase after Masami? Fortunately, the kid was used to getting chased, unfortunately he wasn't the type to fool around and be the one who does the chasing, which was also the reason why he was mostly used as bait instead of a direct fighter. "So, what did you do?" Masami raised his voice at his distance, not bothered by the changes dealt to his body from the transformation. He wanted the lad to hear his voice, and to hear his message, to hear his taunting and other surprises. "I do not know who you are—you have got a pretty large bounty, I think I messed with the incorrect target." come to think of it, was this guy the target Masami was told to look for in the first place? As mentioned earlier, his clients wouldn't dare send Masami unless they are sure that the kid would capture them in a span of seconds – the man had a large bounty, which meant that there was no way that his clients would "underestimate" his power and ability.

Though, Masami still sort of hoped that he wasn't wrong this whole time.

The warrior was barely getting started, so he knew deep inside him he’d be disappointed if the boy was killed with his first strike. Even if Kenzo was still not going at his fastest speed, it was still up to a point where most people would be unable to react. As Kenzo lunged forward, the stranger reacted at the perfect moment. Once the warrior saw a magical circle forming in front of the kid’s chest, he prepared to evade or slash the spell coming at him in half. Honestly, that was one of the biggest weaknesses of mages. The fact that their spells were announced by the appearance of a magic circle made it easy for someone like the Bellan warrior to prepare. However, it seemed that he didn’t need to worry about this one. Instead of an attack, his entire body was engulfed in a thin veil of fire, sending him rocketing backwards. Almost like a spaceship, he was propelled around ten meters backwards, before stopping away from the mercenary. Normally, Kenzo wouldn’t waste such an opportunity to pursue his target, but he felt like enjoying himself. The more time passed, the more the Blue Pegasus warrior became curious about his opponent. He couldn’t identify anyone behind that mask, but he figured it had to be someone above your average bounty hunter.

Regardless, the mercenary remained motionless as he observed the kid recover from the previous spell’s momentum. He finally took off the mask covering his face, confusing Kenzo even more about his/her gender. Even if it wasn’t important, the male needed at least a pronoun to refer to him/her. So, for the moment, he decided on he/him. He knew his face was somewhat familiar but decided to leave the matter to the interrogation about his identity that would come after beating him. For the moment, Kenzo’s blood was boiling with excitement. The aura of the demon surrounding the kid had brought the warrior’s more primal side. He had vowed to eradicate them, so he could hardly contain himself, even if the person in front of him was actually a human. The only thing that made him wait as he started casting another spell, forming what appeared to be platforms under his feet, was the fact that he still felt the kid had much more to offer. Looking at him from a distance, Kenzo trotted his way closer to where he first jumped, closing the distance between them to around five meters. The kid was at the top of a building, around 3 or 4 meters tall.

While Kenzo calmly waited for him to attack again, he was surprised to hear him finally ask a question. From the looks of it, he NOW wanted to have a chat. Even after he had given him an opportunity to work things out between the two of them before the fight started. Chuckling at his comment in a rather mocking manner, Kenzo simply flashed a devilish smirk. Bending his knees lightly, Kenzo immediately summoned his helmet and Magnetite Stone from within his pocket dimension ring, which materialized on top of his head and inside his pocket respectively in an instant. ”Now you want to talk heh? I’m afraid it is too late for that now… Don’t disappoint me kid~” Kenzo’s voice was serious, but his words were spoken in a playful manner. Time and time again, Kenzo’s mood would change whenever he was in the middle of a fight. Little by little, he descended into a spiral of bloodthirstiness, an attitude that tended to make him a scary opponent to fight against. The truth was, that the swordsman simply enjoyed fighting way too much.

As soon as he bent his knees, Kenzo propelled himself upwards with all his strength in a jump. Recently, the Bellan had reached inhumane levels of strength, so he was able to easily jump to the top of buildings with a single hop. Just before his feet left the ground though, the mercenary activated one of his helmet’s spells. ”Execution!”

Grabbing his golden sword with his right hand, Kenzo crossed his arm to the left to prepare an attack. At the same, the blade that away from him started growing rapidly, from 2 meters in length up to 12 in the span of two seconds. Once the blade was fully grown, Kenzo was now mid jump, around the same height as the kid on top of the building. The mercenary swung Masamune in the kid’s direction, tearing apart everything in the blade’s way as it made it towards the bounty hunter. He knew the boy still had much to offer, so he wanted to push him a little further. The sword cleaved part of the building’s roof and other structures as butter in an instant. If the boy didn’t do anything, he’d too end like them.

Looks like Masami's target dared not to reveal any sort of intel, nor expose any bad deed done in the past. 'Those must have been humiliating,' as Masami thought, 'speaking to me as if he's the Shite (main protagonist), how mesmerizing.' After being embodied by Pride, it had taken quite the deal on Masami's emotional responses, slightly ticked off by the fact that this man didn't answer Masami in a way that he wanted to, albeit still having enough patience to keep himself from abruptly charging in with risk. When his target jumped, exactly as Masami assumed (believing that the man was strong enough to jump twice or even thrice as higher than a normal human being could), he raised a hand, in which called forth a large magic circle that formed behind him. Then, a gigantic, inhumane hand grew out of it, having the color of the undead, swiping Masami off of his feet – now that he was sitting in a hand that enabled him to fly in the air, Masami should have enough confidence as to create as much distance as possible if needed.

The hand brought Masami into a five-meter distance away from the target while raising him at most five- to six-meters from the rooftop, and immediately he had crossed his arms to call forth spirit balls, four of them, exactly like the spell that Masami had cast as his first move. Once again, the balls of fire charged at the man in a row; considering that he wasn't as hurt as much as the first time Masami cast the same spell, he believed that if these fire balls hit, it would deal quite the distraction on momentum. When they charged, the boy witnessed the Masamune sword's length increase in size, like magic. Of course, Fiorians have gotten their deal with magic—wait, wasn't the man Joyan? He was quicker than before, and Masami was unsure whether to feel threatened or adapt to the man's emotions and feel excited as well (the narrator recommends that he'd feel threatened instead), but the sudden speed change impulsively made Masami's expression of surprise show unintentionally. "The hell?" he muttered out, lightly chuckling in anxiety – he knew that having a demon soul made him partially inhumane but... this man, was he not human? What the hell were the clients sending Masami to?

The target pierced, and even cut through parts of the roof in a clean way. If Masami was there, then there'd be no doubt that he'd get cut in half, Masami will turn into salami, there was no doubt indeed. Little did the boy know that the tables have turned, and now the bounty hunter became the prey of a demon hunter; maybe if Masami lets himself get hit once, get himself thrown far away, he'll be able to escape? As self-sustaining as he was, Masami decided to run away if things get out of hand, but if he did that, it'll make such a big deal out of his pride, and in terms of Pride, the demon soul won't be so pleased with it.

Apart from demon souls, Masami has also heard of god souls. His target said something about being too late of talking, could it be that something had taken over him? Like possessions, those were a thing and monks were always bothered by them when Masami was still back in Joya. Now that Masami was in the air, and that the target with the helmet and sword were explicitly dancing in the rooftop, more and more townsmen diverted their attention towards the two, running away in panic (although, some of them had the guts to approach them more as to see more of what was going on). From afar, someone shouted to Masami, saying: "You've got the wrong guy!"

"What?!" shouted Masami back, the tension disallowed him from hearing the message completely. "Wrong target! You're gonna die!" they continued to shout, at this point, Masami no longer knows which direction the voice was coming from (except that they were in the lower-ground). Now that multiple entities have gathered, the thermal vision was no longer useful at this case, so he had turned it off like a switch. "What do you mean that I have gotten the wrong guy? The two-million bounty man is right here!"

”Hmph…” Kenzo snickered as he saw the boy react masterfully to his attack. The mercenary was still testing him, but it seemed that what he was most skilled for was running around. Of course, this didn’t matter to him in the end, it was a legit way of fighting. However, he had just spent a lot of mana on that attack, so he needed to be more careful. The kid was saved from Masamune’s path by the sudden appearance of a large hand made of magic, lifting him up into the air and away from the mercenary. People started coming out of their homes and the buildings around them to see what all the fuzz was about. However, Kenzo didn’t care. All he had in his mind was the battle in front of him.

As soon as his strike missed the boy, he once again counteracted with the fire ball spell he’d used before. Kenzo was still mid-air, so he had few options to defend from it. Since he knew the general damage they made, he decided to take the hit and save more of his mana for later. As he finished swinging his elongated blade with his right hand and it started retracting to its original length, Kenzo brought his left arm up in order to cover his body. The four spheres made of fire crashed against his arm, sending him flying backwards due to momentum and searing his skin lightly. Gritting his teeth to endure the pain, Kenzo never lost sight of the kid in front of him, ready to react to any other attacks he could make. Finally making it back into the ground, Kenzo was quite at a disadvantage. The boy was flying up in the air, and the warrior had fundamentally no way to reach him without spending a ton of mana. This had always been an issue for him. No matter how much he trained his body and skills with the sword, the only aspect he could never compete with mages was flying.

For that reason, Kenzo decided to simply assume a defensive stance once more, ready to react to whatever the kid did next. In the chance that he planned to escape though, Kenzo would instantly jump into action to pursue him. He normally let bounty hunters escape after scaring them off most of the time. However, this time it was different. The demon aura looming over the kid was too much to let go. At least until he learned his true identity. Kenzo was so concentrated in the opponent flying above him that he completely missed the screams of warning from a random stranger in the distance. Perhaps if he did, he might have chosen to do something entirely different.

In heavy disbelief that Masami apparently chased down and was getting into a combat scene with the wrong person this whole time, he felt his blood boil when he had realized that the blue-haired lad pushed Masami too much to the point of even letting his demon soul take over him, an appearance and transformation that he doesn't expose to just anyone. Now, had the blue-haired lad witness this sort of form, Masami just couldn't simply let him go. Thus, he ordered the hand to hover him to a better view, still ten-meters (or perhaps less, even) away from the blue-haired lad on the ground, then Masami placed a palm over his face, as if grabbing it. He conjured mana into a Noh theater mask in a second; he did this again using the other hand. Once both hands are occupied by a mask, Masami then pointed this towards the blue-haired lad, the masks automatically flying towards him after another. If it hit, well—like fire, it would sting. It should sting, as much as Masami wanted it to.

'Screw the job,' thought Masami when he clicked his tongue, looking at the blue-haired lad as if Masami had the intention of ending him off, 'I'll finish my own.' After all, the only solutions to when you caught the wrong guy was either escape as to look for the right one... or make a target out of the one who is already there, right? The hand that carried Masami hovered him to the opposite direction of where Masami shot the first two spells, a pinky finger raised in front of his own lips getting ready for another attack just in case the man leaps again. At this point, Masami should be able to control his own distance as long as he has enough energy to sustain all his spells. If, of course, he ever manages to tire the blue-haired lad out. Masami doesn't need to completely defeat him.

As he kept his undivided attention on Masami, the mercenary was able to slightly notice a change going inside him. He was far away in the sky, so it was hard to see from the floor. However, from the looks of it he seemed to be pissed off. About what? The warrior had no clue. However, this managed to bring a smile out of the experienced swordsman. He had fought countless battles in his time as a mercenary, so he had learned a trick or two when he found himself at a disadvantage. While he still hovered above Kenzo, the mercenary put his left hand against his mouth, forming a speaker shape. In the loudest voice he could project, Kenzo put his new tactic in motion. ”Why so far away? Too scared to fight brat?! Come down here and settle this like a man!” The male’s tone was full of mockery, attempting to taunt Masami into committing a simple mistake. It was a silly tactic, but you would be surprised how many amateurs fell to it when fighting.

For the moment, it seemed that it at least had some effect on the kid. Taking both hands into his face, he created two fire masks seemingly out of thin air. That was the first time Kenzo had seen that spell, so he decided the best course of action was not to underestimate them until he knew what they were made of. As soon as the first one left his hand, the mercenary lunged away from the place he was standing. Covering a distance of 12.5 meters in a second, the male didn’t stop there. As soon as the first lunge ended, Kenzo pivoted his body to lunge once again at a 90-degree angle. The Noh Masks crashed against the ground, exploding in a small blaze as soon as they hit the ground. Looking back at it, Kenzo couldn’t help but chuckle at his worries. Sure, they dealt damage to the cobblestone path, but it was barely enough to be called “damage”. Looking once again to the kid flying, Kenzo continued with his mockery tactics. ”Don’t make me laugh kid. Those puny spells are hardly worth my time!! Put some spine into it!”

He actually had a plan to deal with his flying opponent, but he wanted to make sure to use it at the perfect moment so for now, he would keep in the defensive, ready to react to whatever he did.

Masami wasn't the type to fall for taunts. He responded to an older man: the blue-haired lad was definitely older, and Masami culturally respects those who are older even if he didn't want to. When the blue-haired lad shouted to speak to Masami, like a child he was, the boy wanted to prove that if he charged in and "settled this like a man," it would be the wrong choice – it was never the right choice. It was a chance to prove himself masculine, but, maybe next time.

He was willingly taking hits for a while now, looks like he changed his mind? Masami witnessed as the two masks hit something else that wasn't his target, even though they were in the target's (now previous) direction; he had dodged them, or evaded them, whatever the term was preferred. Masami was on flight and he had admitted that those spells, truly, were "puny." Masami wasn't made for that sort of thing—in fact, he had accepted it long ago, but he couldn't help but come back to that road every single time. He wasn't trained for fighting in the sky—not yet, at least. A little more effort, and then he'd finally take use of the "higher ground." He had sighed at the man, "Really, men are so aggressive sometimes," he had, once again, placed the mask right in front of him.

Raising a hand up—not only he had signaled an incoming attack, but the hand that held him also vanished in a snap, transitioning into black dust—into nothingness. Masami dropped from the sky and down to the ground – at the same time, the hand that he had raised met the asphalt road—a wall of flames expanded out of him, outwards, like a circle and Masami was in the eye of it; the wall ignored the solid structures and the inflammable substances, and that it burned everything in its' path. Should it reach the blue-haired lad, the fire won't be merciful and attack as it was taught to. When it reached its limit, the walls vanished, and everything flammable remained aflame. Masami stood in the middle with his mask in front of his face, and he looked at the blue-haired lad, waiting for his reaction.

Kenzo wondered what the kid’s reaction would be. In his mind, there was no way that such a young guy would have the mental maturity to avoid getting a little irked by his taunting. True, his words were somewhat crude and childish, lacking any real weight behind them considering he knew close to nothing about him. In his years as a mercenary, he’d picked up a hint or two from his more experienced peers. Taunts like that worked the most when they had some sort of truth behind them. Truth that came from knowing your foe. After all, the famous war maxim from the Sinese strategist Sun Tzu was well known by Kenzo: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”.

Even if he didn’t know much about his opponent, his words should work to an extent if he wasn’t experienced in battle. However, the mercenary knew the kid was not an ordinary one. There were not many kids going around the world that gave off and had such a demonic presence looming over them. What was more, it definitely wasn’t just any simple demon. The pressure coming out of him was quite frightening indeed. Either way, the mercenary’s gamble was only that at the moment. A gamble.

Even if he were unable to bring out any immediate reaction like he hoped, the older male couldn’t help but smirk at the first sight of the blonde-haired kid moving. The Blue Pegasus warrior was around 17 meters away from the point where Masami hovered, well within a field of vision where Kenzo could react instantly to whatever he did. Once the boy rose his arm in the air and the hand spell that allowed him to fly disappeared, a single thought crossed Kenzo’s mind. ”Lucky~” In that exact instant, Kenzo lunged towards the boy’s landing spot. He covered a distance of 12.5 meters in a single second, almost the same span of time it took the kid to reach the ground. Without stopping, Kenzo lunged once again in his direction, time by which his sword was ready to strike at him once again.

As soon as the kid landed in the ground with his palm against the road, Kenzo came within striking reach. A huge surge of fire magic burst out of the kid’s hand. Whatever the hell the spell he just conjured was, it was definitely on a different league than the rest that he’d used so far. Still, this didn’t make the warrior flinch in the slightest. On the contrary, an ominous smile grew on his face as he swung his blade at the kid’s head. The golden sword made contact with the flames first, immediately cutting through them and dispelling them in an instant. Kenzo could feel a portion of his mana being sapped right away, hinting at the strength of the spell. He was thankful he didn’t have a need to find out how strong it was. On the contrary, his sword was now mere centimeters away from his target, the one in danger was the kid.

”Got you”. A smug Kenzo thought, making sure to ready himself to dispel any trace of mana that would come in contact with his sword before striking the kid in case there was any. He knew mages were able to create defensive spells that covered their skins, so he would simply render it useless with his sword. He had no time to react to such a thing in short notice, but he would simply allow Masamune to drain as much mana from him as necessary to ensure his blade was not stopped by some sort of spell.

The kid was still recovering from the fall, considering it had been mere instants since he’d landed to the ground when Kenzo swung his blade. The merc had to adjust its trajectory a little, turning his horizontal blow into a diagonal one towards the ground, enough to reach his head. In case that it hit, the kid’s mask was most likely done for. However, the damage dealt to his mask would be the last thing the kid would have to worry about. Kenzo was relentless in battle, so he didn’t hold back with his strike. His line of thought was rather simple really. The kid’s some sort of demon, right? Aren’t demons supposed to be tough? Surely a real one could take the brunt of his swing.

"This is bad, this is bad, this is—" Masami couldn't help but speak his words in an audible noise; despite his perception of time slowing down to see how he'd clearly get his head cut in half, his body won't move an inch from the spot. It was as if the two identities inside him—they don't seem to comply into one, which was why half of him wouldn't listen to the other half, was that the case? The blade struck his face, cutting not his skin, but the mask first, before he was sent flying because of the impact. Although he raised a hand in attempt to reverse the damage, it was too late and Masami had immediately found himself facing the sky, half of his mask vanished into thin air. 'Oh well,' he thought as his body lay upfront; one leg stepped over the opposite side and twisted, turning Masami so that he'd stand back up immediately, 'that'll get fixed eventually.' He got dizzy at that second: seven meters, eight meters? Abruptly less than ten, definitely. Masami was no good—no good at these kinds of stuff. He had brushed off that "no good" and assumed that he had the enough range as to stretch his arms downwards when he stood back up, and that he'd meet the four spirit balls again; a thin sheet of flames covered his whole body with a magic circle in front of his chest, making him glow while the fire balls charged back to the blue-haired lad in a row, and they aligned with prior to order.

He'd see clearly how the man enjoyed, the slate-colored sky have turned into a deep blue, and it was only now that Masami realized that it was his flames that made it seem like the stars were shining down on them, even though they weren't. The only stars Masami saw were the blue-haired lad's white eyes, definitely such man was not normal. "You cannot use magic," Masami assumed with his lip corners folding into a small smirk, nothing compared to the man's grin, but it was only an assumption, "that is normal. If you serve me, I will serve you; you do not know what I do. While this boy is not so experienced, how about we create an exchange?" Was it Masami who was speaking? Masami was the one speaking; Lucifer can't speak Joyan (apparently), or had his presence taken the boy over?

Either way, he'd cross his arms forward, uttering "Kojiki," before he'd do the same thing again: jumping into a platform the magic circle formed for him, and another one, and once again he was at the roofs. Demons rest upon being summoned back to their world, and it would take time for Masami to fly back – his conscience knew that after one more hit, he'd definitely lose consciousness – not the demon soul's consciousness, but along with the boy's. That was what he felt, at least; his pinky finger raised in front of his lips, and his skin glowed a layer of flames. Unsure whether he was ready or not, he'd ask another, "What do you think, warrior?"

The warrior’s sword found its target, tearing through the mask easily. However, this also meant that it stopped his slash, bearing the brunt of the impact and transferring it as blunt damage. The force was strong enough to throw the boy into the air. For a second, Kenzo thought the fight was over. However, his slight disappointment would soon vanish. ”Hoh?” Albeit only for a single instant, the mercenary’s right eye captured the kid’s facial expression along with his leg movement. It was one of confusion, understandable due to the strike he’d received, but not the kind a defeated person. Kenzo’s smirk grew more sinister as soon as he saw the boy twist his leg to try and pivot for a better landing. The kid still had it in him, the fight was still not over.

Yet, it was for Kenzo. Part of his consciousness warned him about the dangers of delving deeper into the fight. It was something the Bellan warrior had learned a long time ago. The curse on his body had deformed him into something looking half human and half demon. However, something had stopped the process from furthering. The male was unsure as to the cause, but he had his suspicions. He knew his mother was an accomplished Fioran mage, so she might have done something to him before disappearing. Whatever it was, Kenzo could feel the evil being suppressed inside his mind. Yet, it was through the thick of battle and the lust for blood that the swordsman could feel the seal weakening. Little by little, his consciousness clouded as he felt a sinister presence take a hold of his body. If he let it go long enough, it’d eventually lead him into a battle frenzy. The mercenary was well aware of his new position as a member of Blue Pegasus. He’d caused enough trouble for Alisa due to his bounty already, it was best if he didn’t continue destroying Hosenka.

Even if on the outside the grin of amusement grew bigger due to the enjoyment he was feeling, his mind was still able to govern his impulses. For that reason, Kenzo decided to finish the fight now. Just as the kid flew past his right eye’s 5-meter field of vision, he lunged towards his landing direction, readying his left arm for what was to come. At the same time, he finally summoned the last piece missing of his equipment. A magnificent silver armor carved with dwarven runes materialized from thin air and onto his chest. Kenzo was going all-in for his plan to succeed, he needed every insurance he could get so that it worked. The kid landed a little less than 10 meters away from his initial position, meaning Kenzo covered the distance in less than a single second. However, the warrior’s late start had given the kid just enough time to start conjuring yet another spell. Firing off against the warrior mere centimeters away from him, four fire orbs clashed against his armor in rapid succession. Normally, the force of the spell would be enough to send him back a couple of meters. However, Kenzo’s silver armor’s runes shone in a bright blue light. They were specifically there to absorb excess of energy, meaning he was undeterred in his lunge towards the kid.

Mere instants after the spell hit him, Kenzo’s left hand made contact with the kid’s neck. Grabbing him in a tight grip, the mercenary made sure he was not able to wiggle his way out as he dragged him up to his lunge’s end. Lifting the kid up in the air with his left arm, his right arm swung Masamune closer to his body. The golden sword was too long to threaten him with the tip, so he rested the blade against the back side of his neck, where his hand was unable to reach. Upon hearing the kid speaking with a grin, it took Kenzo’s entire concentration to reign his impulse for blood back. The presence he felt coming out of the kid grew stronger and the words coming out of him were definitely not the kid’s. Hearing the devil’s words, the warrior simply scoffed at them with a cocky chuckle. ”You don’t get to speak without permission here, demon. One false step and this kid’s throat is done for. I wonder what that’d mean for you~” Kenzo’s eyes were filled with a gleaming fire, gazing defiantly at the being inside the boy. As he half smiled devilishly. ”Now answer! What the hell are you? You speak about an exchange… Does this mean you’ve taken over this kid?” Kenzo’s threats were not empty. If either the kid or the demon did something to resist, he wouldn’t think it twice before crushing his windpipe.

"You Joyan men are insane," were the words that came out of Masami's mouth as the target—the blue-haired lad—pulled him up into an inevitable bind, so that the child won't be able to attack. He had imitated the man's grin; recently, the boy had started to take liking into imitating other people's tone of voice, facial expressions, small actions and those of the sort. He spoke in the Fiorian language, in which, he found comfort in speaking, so suddenly? He'd laugh, finding the man's attempt to earn information out of the boy, an utterly fascinating thing. Speaking of fascination, the boy replied, "I don't know," he had shrugged, as if teasing the man – surely, he was running out of breath as well, "why don't you ask him if I've taken over? We're still the same person, aren't we?" Sometimes, the nonsensical things made more sense than the obvious.

It was only now that the boy realized that non-mages, specifically those who cannot use magic by any means and had to depend on weapons, are able to fight back as well, that means Masami had been wrong his whole life. "What a flimsy body, really," he commented, instinctively using both hands in attempt to pull the blue-haired lad's hand off of his neck, so that he may breathe, "and you're telling me that we haven't made any false steps; this kid is in a light guild, how do you think people would comment once they learn that he's been ravaged by someone of the sign alignment, hero?" Apparently, Masami responds well for being referred to as "demon," although at this point, he's no longer sure whether he's being honest, or if he's forcing himself into a playable role, like a theater character. The theater managers say that the best actors play the role of the great villain, because humans do good, and the evil humans do evil for they believe that it brings them good – meanwhile the ones who willingly turn evil are a incomparable, and you will be met with multiple failures if you attempt to find them in the street. The boy looked back at the one who had held him captive, quickly gazing from top to toe, slightly irritated that the man can't see the obvious.

Awakening from the inaudible voices of the people who wanted to interfere, but then recognized the two who were fighting in the scene, so they decided to run away, Masami believed that it was "fascinating" to prove himself. He had raised a finger and slowly, struggling, his arm shaking, traced from his neck down to the opposite arm, and then pointed at the man—whom Masami cast the spell upon—and then felt that even though the man had no more space left to become stronger than he is now, his grip had proved the boy that the spell worked. "You, and that red-head," he referred to Tomoe Tanaka, Masami's guild master, "Joyans and your swords... truly you are so kindhearted... as to offer the child what their master had asked them?"

As if a layer of Masami's being stripped off of him, burning into ashes, Masami was back to his original form, wherein he'd be smaller, perhaps the man would be able to touch his own fingertips using the same hand he had used to strap Masami's neck with. The boy, with enough strength left, instinctively tried to escape by pulling the man's grip off, but instead leaning his head enough to strike himself with the tip of the blue-haired lad's sword. In this moment, Masami viewed himself as salmon: cleanly cut by an itamae (skilled sushi chef) and his blade. He inevitably—groaned? wailed? moaned? whimpered?—at the fresh cut, in which his body had yet to perceive as "painful" so that Masami would not irrationally react and hurt himself more than he was already feeling. "Damn," he spoke, but it was a mutter rather than out loud, "it hurts."
