Chapter 66: Fox Hunting

-What’s the matter, you hate getting your ass kicked? -Sophia mocked the Black Foxes executive as she shifted into a fighting stance.

-Shut up bitch, just because you know some martial arts doesn’t mean you’re better than me. -Rory the Black Foxes executive spoke to the girl without fear.

-Yeah…, I don’t have time for small talk right now, so let’s finish this. -(She has a broken leg, she shouldn’t be able to beat me) -After standing close to her opponent, Sophia prepares her attack.

[Sophia Bromck has used MMA low kick.]

A perfect kick was directed to the broken leg of the boy, but he in response managed to defend himself with his knee. -Do you think I will lose? -After covering the Bromck’s attack the Black Foxes executive decides to prepare his own attack.

[Rory Flynn has used MMA low kick.]

A low kick 100% equal to Sophia’s is thrown by the number 10 executive of the Black Foxes, the kick manages to connect to the latter. (What the hell? He not only used his broken leg he also copied me).

[Sophia Bromck is using Boxing.]

Sophia, who didn’t look very comfortable with what happened, throws several punches at the boy, but he blocked them all. -Since when are women so annoying? -Rory complains about Sophia and prepares his next move.

[Rory Flynn is using Boxing.]

Just like the previous time the Black Foxes executive copied Sophia perfectly, this forces Sophia to distance herself from her opponent.

(What the fuck is this? He’s copying every damn punch I throw at him, I don’t have time for these games, I’ll have to use “that") -The Bromck was looking at the boy in an angry way, he didn’t understand what was going on.

[Thanks to the fact that the opponent has awakened his constitution points, he will receive a unique skill.]

[Combat Skill: Star Dreamer]-[If you can do it I can do it too, you just have to dream it. This skill is unique to Rory Flynn. Upon using this skill, the user can copy the last attack launched by his opponent]

-What’s wrong? Did the stuck-up girl from before get scared? -The Black Foxes executive approaches Sophia while mocking her (Calm down Sophia I shouldn’t use “that” without need I can win).

Sophia relaxes her thoughts and decides to refocus on the fight, so she lashes out at her rival again. -Why don’t you shut up? -At top speed, Imperial’s second in command stands in front of her opponent and turns her body.

[Sophia is using taekwondo.]

A kick goes straight into the stomach of the boy who in response tries to do the same.

But to his surprise, the Bromck blocks the attack and hits him hard. -You know, you’re good at what you do, you’re talented but….

[Sophia is using MMA+Karate]

Several combined moves were launched by the Bromck, leaving her rival surprised.

-You are not a genius. -After saying those words Sophia saw the boy’s attempt to do the same, but she had already gotten used to the rhythm of her rival.

[Sophia is using Boxing+Mhuay Thai].

[Sophia is using Karate+Systema]

[Sophia is using Capoeira+CQC]

A rain of combined punches were launched by the Bromck leaving her rival with no time to copy anything, this fight already has a winner.

-Fuck, because of you I almost used “that” -Sophia talks to her rival with some anger, so many copies stressed her.

-Hey… -The Black Foxes executive who was lying on the floor defeated, speaks to Sophia. -Your gang looks strong, doesn’t it? -The boy asks.

-I think you know that answer first hand, but why do you ask? -Sophia lifted her leg ready to finish the fight.

-If you are able to defeat Victor, I will join you. -The executive of the Black Foxes was telling his true intentions, maybe Imperial will gain a strong member.

-I see, I’ll think about it, but for now go to sleep. -Dropping his leg, Sophia ends up knocking the boy out.

[Congratulations]

[A member of your team has defeated a minor boss.]

[Executives defeated: 8/17]

-Okay time to go. -Sophia instantly starts running towards her next target.

-Hey you! -But her path is cut off by someone shouting. -You’re Alexander’s partner, right? You’re the bossy girl. -

The one who spoke was the imperial leader Gerard Moreau who is accompanied by a girl with dyed green hair.

(What the hell?) -Sophia looked at them reluctantly while thinking what to say.

***

-Come on, sweetie, it’s just a date. -The 16th executive of the Black Foxes was trying to keep flirting with Eva, but she was looking at him reluctantly.

In front of Eva and Alan there was a very annoying person, from the Black Foxes, the guy was talking to Eva with confidence.

-What's happening? Wouldn't you like to have money, power or wealth? I can give you whatever you want. -The boy tries to approach the girl, but she instantly rejects him with just her mind, for Eva, Marcus was better.

(Shit, he’s a real Black Foxes executive, we can’t beat someone like that) -Alan looked at the boy, while the fear in his face was noticeable, he never thought to get involved in a fight like that.

-Sorry, but I don’t like such cheerful boys, let’s go Alan. -Smith grabs Alan by the hand and decides to pass the boy.

-Do you think you can ignore me bitch? -But reluctantly the Black Foxes executive throws a kick at Eva, which she dodges perfectly. -Wow, you dodged my attack, you know how to fight right? -Excitedly the Black Foxes executive asks Eva.

-Of course I know how to fight, after all I am a Smith, but the ice lady put me as a babysitter. -Eva explained the real reasons why she is here while she fixes her hair.

-Wow, now I like you more, you really don’t want to go out with me? -The Black Foxes executive approaches the girl, but she greets him with a punch. -I told you it’s a no.

-It looks like you don’t want me. -The boy punches the girl several times, but she was keeping up with him pretty well, either one of them could win. (Shit I don’t have that good technique, I should stay away).

After taking some distance, Eva puts some knuckle pads on her hands, the design was golden and they were quite thick. -Are you going to kill me with that thing or what? -The 16th executive of the Black Foxes rushes at Eva, but she dodges him instantly and then hits him, Eva’s speed was her forte, no doubt she was someone from the big families.

-Shit, you’re pissing me off already. -The boy tries to hit Eva again, but there was no result, the girl’s movements were pretty good. -So you wanted to go out with me? Don’t make me laugh.

Mocking the boy, Eva hits him several more times at a high speed until he manages to fall to the ground.

[Congratulations]

[A member of your team has defeated a minor boss]

[Executive defeated: 9/17]

-Wow, I didn’t know you were so strong Miss Eva. -Alan praised Eva with a smile, if he is next to her he won’t take danger.

-I guess… (There’s something strange, why was there such a weak executive around these parts? It’s far away from the main combat area) -Hey Alan, do you think… Watch out!

Eva, who had noticed something strange in the events before, decides to ask her partner, but when she turns around she manages to see a silhouette about to attack him, so she rushes to cover him.

-Miss Eva! -Alan screamed in fear as he saw how a cut was made on Eva’s shoulder.

-Shit. I knew there was something strange, -Eva looked at her bloody shoulder as she spoke, the thing before seems to be a bait.

-Wow, if you had let him die that wouldn’t have happened. -The one responsible for the attack was a girl with a mask with the number 678 on the back, she was carrying a dagger.

-Don’t say that, we would do the same for you. -Another girl arrived, she was wearing the number 768.

-You are always like that, impulsive Amelia. -Just as the other two girls appeared out of the shadows, this one had the number 876. This was the famous trio of Black Foxes assassin known as cerberus.

(Shit, my shoulder is bad, I can't fight) -Eva thought angrily, currently she can’t help much.

-What should we do with them? -asked one of the girls to the others.

-They won’t do anything with them. -But to interrupt them all, a voice was heard in the distance.

[Congratulations, the effects of the tea have taken effect on your body.]

-Sorry I’m late, I was busy. -The speaker was Alexander who had arrived at the battlefield.

Alexander approaches everyone, for a strange reason he imposed a strong presence.

-What are the members of Black Foxes doing here? -With a serious look Alexander looked at the trio.
