Everything Will Be My Way!

An unpleasant sensation in the area of the lower abdomen and down her leg caused her discomfort. A terrible thought flashed through her mind. - {Did I wet myself?!}

The girl blushed like a ripe peach and rushed to the nearest shower. Her honor and dignity had been defamed! She wanted to fall through the ground and fall asleep there forever. It"s all because of the ruthless monster that shocked her right into the neck! She"d had enough of humiliating training. She hurts everywhere and the master moves faster than a hurricane. Envy, despair, and contempt gripped the little devil"s soul while she was was.h.i.+ng her body frantically.

After the shower, Juno got a call and an invitation to return to the training ground. She smiled bitterly at the thought of how helpless she was. Apparently, as long as he was alive, she would have to suffer... The servant would keep messing with her not only physically but also morally. It couldn"t get any worse. What was she going to do?

She put on her favorite outfit: a gray skirt, silver sandals and a blouse (she had no intention to practise) and came to the training ground. The boy"s scornful look made her uncomfortable.

Juno remained silent. She blushed and clenched her fists in anger. The servant"s outstanding talent scared her. He had inhuman strength for the 7th stage! However, the arrogant girl didn"t change her mind as for his status. She continued considering him worse than herself because of his origin.

The proud little lady flopped on the bench and growled angrily:

«I do not want to practise with you anymore! I"ve had enough of you humiliating me! If you dare to force me... Then I will renounce you as my master!»

«Even for getting your keys cleaned?» - Kyon asked with a grin.

Juno gasped and hesitated. Then she said looking intently into his eyes:

«Are you kidding me?»

The naive question made the boy laugh. The girl was ready to wet herself every day for the sake of having her keys cleaned. Or maybe not.

«Yes, I am.» - He nodded.

Juno breathed a sigh of relief. «I hope you get my warning. Actually, you suck as a master! I don"t know why you are so fast but if you don"t give in the battle, I refuse to deal with you. After you defeated me with your speed, I knew that I would not learn anything from you. It was useless experience! I won"t get any faster anyway!» - The girl blurted out in a confident voice. She seemed to know exactly what she wanted and what she was after.

«Alright then...» - Kyon agreed.

The girl exhaled again in relief. It"s nice to defend your opinion. Even if it was unusual for her. She used to get immediately whatever she wished for in the best possible way. But now she had to reckon with the "master" to have something.

«Have you mastered the Stone movement technique? Is that why you are so fast? The Stone technique won"t let you move lightning fast, though.»

«I came up with my own.» - When he said that, he heard the gate creak. He bowed and made a gesture that allowed the girl to behave in a certain way within the cage of orders. Juno put on a strict look and crossed her arms.

It was Dinah. She saw a scene of a demanding lady and a guilty servant. The maid quickly approached Juno, stood on one knee and bowed to her.

«Lady, I beg you to let me kill the servant. I am ready to take any punishment for what I"ve done.» - Dinah said respectfully.

Kyon nearly choked in surprise.

Given that Juno couldn"t take initiative under his orders, he decided to make it about him. «Ms. Dinah, what are you talking about? I didn"t do anything to you!»

The girl gave him a look full of ice. «Enough of your pretense! You"ve always been disrespectful to me, behaving like a rude barbarian. I put up with that but when I found out that…» - She did not finish. - «Never mind. I will kill you whatever it takes.»

And then the boy understood everything. She must have learned something from Jean that she shouldn"t have. Given the local mentality of honor and dignity, he made a disappointing conclusion: {I see... This b.i.t.c.h will never leave me alone. Whenever I go to bed, I must be ready to lose my life all of a sudden. It can"t go on like this. What should I do with her?}

A couple of options came to his mind. He could decide her fate via Juno here and now, but he was in no hurry to do that. The loss of a higher level maid could cause too many problems. Maybe not today and not tomorrow, but his place as the master of the patriarch"s daughter will be jeopardised. It"s better not to rush. He can decide her fate after the party when he makes his plans and sets priorities. Also, he could use a strong killer as an ally at the party.

Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. That"s the principle Kyon was going to apply before the party ended. But how to do it without acting ahead of time?

He quickly came up with a solution.

«If you want me to die, give me a chance of survival. I don"t want to die like this. I offer you a duel.»

Dinah bowed again to Juno. «My lady, let me have a mortal battle with the boy. I have and will serve you faithfully until the end of my days. I"m ready to take any punishment after the boy dies.»

Juno raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Kyon said:

«Wait... Ms. Dinah, you will kill me with one blow!»

Without turning her head, Dinah muttered in contempt:

«I will lower my stage of development to yours. Will that be enough? I can even give you a head start in two stages!»

Kyon smiled to himself. «No. Fight with my stage of development.»

{Is he so desperate that he is ready to give up the head start and die?} - Dinah thought. However, she couldn"t care less. Today the miserable servant will die. She will no longer tolerate his existence in this world.

The boy stroked the bracelet of concealment, changing his development for others to the 4th stage. «By the way, if my life is on stake, what will I get in case I win?»

Dinah frowned. «You can take anything! I don"t care.»

Kyon could hardly hold back his smile. Never underestimate the enemy. But... Were anyone else in his place, the professional a.s.sa.s.sin would easily rip their belly open.

«Starting tomorrow, you will be my slave for three days.» - Kyon smiled treacherously. It will be enough to make plans and not to arouse Dinah"s suspicion.

The maid looked at the boy in bewilderment. How can a servant"s life cost slavery for three days? However, he had no chance to confront her, so she agreed.

«I agree. And what do you say, my lady?» - Dinah asked proudly.

Kyon blinked a couple of times, and Juno said with a deep sigh:

«So do I.»

Deep in her heart, the maid was grateful but she did not quite understand the true motivation of her lady. Did she allow her to kill the servant she always protected?

Kyon bowed to Juno gallantly. «My lady, I propose the following conditions of the battle: no use of nephrites; forbid Dinah to raise her development above mine; no one is responsible for the death of the opponent; if I win she will be my slave for three days. Please give the appropriate orders if you agree to the terms.»

The brunette almost incinerated him with her destructive gaze. Then she looked at Juno with a thoughtful look.

The lady agreed. She briefly repeated the rules and coldly gave Dinah all the relevant orders.

The maid lost interest in the lady"s strange behavior. Her mind was occupied with the idea of the long-awaited deliverance from the pain in the neck bothering her.

Kyon stood on one side of the drawn arena and Dinah on the other. Both glared at each other. The boy was anxious to know how the a.s.sa.s.sin would fight. After the incompetent Juno, it would be like a breath of fresh air.

Dinah was a bit surprised that her foe didn"t have any weapons. She had lots of dangerous equipment in her a.r.s.enal. Besides, she was dressed in a tight suit, enchanted for strength and made of strong leather.

Juno began the countdown:

«The battle begins in 3... 2... 1... Get started!»

The girl deftly took two s.h.i.+ny sharp daggers out of her sleeves and rushed headlong into the fight. She was slightly inferior to Juno in speed (being at the same stage). However, the balance of her body revealed her great skills. In addition to the usual battle tactics, she was skillful at throwing hidden and short weapons. She also knew a number of techniques necessary to quickly eliminate the enemy.

The icy stare of the cold-blooded killer gave out her intentions to mercilessly end the boy"s life. Usually, he didn"t spare such people (at least in the simulations).

Her first swing of the dagger was aimed precisely at his throat. Kyon dodged at the last moment when an insidious blade of wind flew out of the weapon. The ether barrier fended it.

The ruthless killer frowned, visibly displeased. Did the boy bend four elements? She could clearly feel the earth element. Earlier, in the pond, he had used cold. Just now, he"d used ether and pure energy. Is he a genius? That"s too much for him! Even she bends only three elements... Why didn"t Anna tell her anything about that? Perhaps, the lady"s words about the boy"s excellent skills weren"t pure nonsense. However, she didn"t care about all that. He was going to die, end of story.

Focusing on eliminating her enemy, the girl inflicted a combination of three deadly blows. Then she froze in bewilderment. All of her attacks pa.s.sed by. What the h.e.l.l? Judging by the fluctuations, it was clear that the boy was at the 7th stage. It explained why he was still alive.

Dinah put aside all unnecessary thoughts and resolutely raised her development to the 7th stage without breaking the order. Now the servant was in for imminent death. However, the reality was different. The boy miraculously began to move proportionately faster!

The girl continued her efforts to destroy the hated enemy. For about ten breaths, she had been unable to cut his throat. Each of her attempts inevitably ended in failure.

Another 10 breaths of fight pa.s.sed.

Dinah knew in her gut that something was wrong. The boy"s development was equal to hers, he even moved slower by a third. The sly fox was so dodgy and lucky that he avoided danger at the very last moment! His fighting style was so unpredictable that it gave her a feeling of suspense before his movement. Besides, her opponent seemed to "read" the battle a few moves ahead and it was terribly annoying. To crown it all, the lady herself was watching their fight... What a shame! The elite killer couldn"t defeat a pathetic servant! With each second, the absurdity of the situation increased. How can he bend 4 elements? How does he manage to dodge? How in the h.e.l.l could he be at the 7th stage? It was much lower at their first meeting. He could not have developed so quickly.

But the strangest thing was that the boy was completely unarmed, in addition to his obvious lack of speed! He was fighting on equal terms but never attacked her... He was playing with her like a sly cat with a mouse!

Her cold-blooded face gave way to an angry grin. Her movements became more violent. She growled frantically, like an amazon with every swing she took. If she could only scratch the jerk, the poison would do its vile deed.

{What"s going on? Why can"t I kill him? Who is he?! Why won"t he attack?! Is he playing with me?!} - An unfamiliar feeling swept over her. She experienced something similar when a powerful master scanned her with pure energy.

She remembered his gaze after she had killed the swans. It sent gooseb.u.mps all over her body. Now he was looking at her just the same... And he seemed to be doing it deliberately. It felt like the darkness itself was burning through her core, not fake but real darkness!

Kyon kept gaining insights from the battle. He started to understand what to expect from a pract.i.tioner of his level with advanced killer skills. He had found the boundaries and now he could act according to his own rules. In the moonlight, Dinah was especially beautiful.
