Junta & Wizarding World

#29 Masked People

“I await your orders Brother”

“For now don't be too aggressive Kou”

The masked man was still standing in the same position without moving in the slightest.

The junta did not want to take an aggressive stance because he still did not know for sure whether the person was really dangerous or not.

Although his appearance was indeed very suspicious, but as long as that person did not want to hurt Junta and Kou, then Junta would let him go.

While Kou was still standing in front of the Junta with a watchful expression, it seemed like Zonya was done with her preparations and looked like she wanted to start the first attack.

But the Junta extended its hand to the side to signal to Zonya not to take any aggressive action.

“Do you have any need with us O masked person”

The masked man did not answer the Junta's call, he stood there motionless at all like a statue.

Kou who felt that this would not end well, started to take a step forward.

Junta let Kou and back said.

“We don't want to hurt you masked person as long as you don't want to hurt us”

The masked man still did not answer the Junta's question.

“Sister, I don't think this will work”

“Don't rush Kou”

Kou seemed to think, then suddenly ran towards the masked man.

Kou stopped right in front of him and stared directly at his mask.

Although Kou ran towards that person, the person looked fearless and remained silent like a statue.

After finding out that the person was really like a statue, Kou walked towards the huge monster that was polluting the river.

But suddenly the person appeared in front of Kou, of course Kou reflexively jumped back to take distance.

The junta saw what happened, the masked man switched positions like using teleportation, it seemed like he was protecting the monster that was polluting the river.

Then, could it be that person was the master of that monster? Or maybe there was another reason to protect the monster?

Kou tries to walk past the masked man again in order to kill the monster that pollutes the river, but again Kou is confronted by that person.

Junta is hereby convinced that the masked man is protecting the monster.

“Zonya, are you sure that the masked man is one of 10 Fingers?”

“I have never met with any of the leaders of The Fingers, but the man's appearance matches what the people of” said

“If indeed he is one of the 10 Fingers, does that mean we are in a bad condition?”

“What do you think? Dealing with The Fingers alone has made you trouble, what else with the leader”

“Then, do you have any suggestions?”

“If you see the movement, that person seems to protect the big monster, if indeed The Fingers is the perpetrator behind this incident, then this will be a difficult case to solve”

“I don't think that includes any suggestions.”

Zonya seemed to think for a moment and then said.

“I don't want to say this, but as a class 5, I'd argue that we should step back and go to the Association to ask for help and explain everything, but, personally, I don't want to deal with The Fingers so if I go on this mission alone, maybe I'll cancel it and look for another mission”

“Are you serious? You want to abort this mission? And you call yourself class 5?”

“I've told you what I would do as a class 5, but if you ask me what I would do if this wasn't a mission from the Association, I'd throw it”

“What is This Fingers really so scary?”

“I think more troublesome, I've already told you this right? But for someone weaker than me, maybe they think The Fingers is a nightmare”

“Hmmmmm”

The Junta seemed to think for a moment, the problem here was not being able to defeat the enemy or not, but the problem was whether the Junta would deal with The Fingers, either, which Zonya had told her that Junta and Kou should not deal with them.

While Junta was thinking, Kou was still standing in front with a watchful expression, of course Kou realized that he could not get close to the monster because the masked person was protecting him.

If indeed the monster was related to The Fingers, then if it wanted to not deal with The Fingers, the Junta should not kill the monster, which meant that this request could not be resolved.

But the Junta desperately needed the money from this request to keep him alive while helping him find a way out to his original world, of course the rule of nothing free also applies in this world.

After thinking for a long time, Junta thought of something and wanted to give it a try, so he walked towards the huge monster and of course he was blocked by the masked person who was like that statue.

Kou who was already unhindered by the freak seemed to understand his brother's plan, so he walked towards the monster, and of course he was blocked again.

Then Junta stepped out to walk again, but the man got in the way again.

After that person blocked the Junta, Kou with lightning-fast movements decapitated the monster so that it collapsed and fell into the river.

After knowing the monster was dead, somehow while his gaze continued to be fixed on the Junta like a statue, the masked man teleported to Kou's front and slashed at him with a knife that came out of nowhere.

Of course Kou could easily avoid it since he instantly took some distance when that person was in front of him.

With the monster killed, it could be said that the request that Junta and Kou had taken was almost complete, all they needed to do now was to return to that river and purify it.

Just when Junta turned to leave from his place, he suddenly saw Kou in front of him who was holding back the attack from the masked man.

I don't know since when Kou was there, but what the Junta can confirm is that this guy won't let them go.

After receiving a few slashes that he could avoid, the masked person slightly took some distance from Kou, Kou who seemed to know that he had to defeat that person if he wanted to leave here started taking the initiative.

Kou with his swift movements started running towards that person and floated a few slashes after he was right in front of the masked person.

It was unexpected that the masked person could fend off all of Kou's attacks.

Kou changed positions and now that he was behind the person, Kou quickly floated a few slashes.

It was unexpected that that person would be able to fend off all of Kou's attacks.

After that, Kou took some distance from that person and suddenly Kou had already moved his position to the side of his Brother.

“Sister, did you see that?”

　

　

”Even General Barmun can't see your movement”

“In addition he can see my movements, he can also fend off all my attacks!”

“It will be a tough fight”

Junta seemed to think for a moment.

“I'll help you Kou”

“Oh, it's been a long time since we fought together like this”

Junta pulled out his sword then held his sword with his right hand and placed his left hand behind his back, then, he turned his head towards the left and turned his head towards the right so that he could see the masked person clearly.

This movement was exactly the same as the one Junta made when he dueled Hako.

Kou who understood his brother was ready to start disappearing somewhere.

The junta with no less rapid movement started moving towards the masked person and with an incredible speed suddenly he was already in front of him.

Likewise with Kou, who was suddenly behind him, the two of them also slashed at the person at the same time.

The masked person seemed to be unable to fend off all the attacks launched by the Junta and Kou so he avoided it and took some distance from it to keep it from getting too close to them.

“I'm afraid he can fend off all the attacks we lay to him, thankfully not”

After Junta said that, suddenly the masked person appeared in front of him and slashed at him!

But of course the Junta was able to fend off the attack, Kou who understood the situation instantly floated a few slashes with his knife, making the masked person jump to the side and take a distance back.

“It's troublesome”

“One thing is clear, he is stronger than general Barmun”

“By the way where is Zonya?”

After Kou said that Junta reflexively looked back, and it turned out that Zonya was not there.

“I think he escaped”

Suddenly a voice entered the Junta's mind.

“You're off when you talk Junta”

“Who is this?”

Junta asked like a fool even though he actually knew from the voice that he was Zonya.

“I don't have to answer that, I'm now inside one of the trees here, I will support you by giving you the Mana I absorbed, and also I'm here to monitor the state of the surrounding environment just in case there are other enemies around here”

“Then? Did you find anything?”

“I must admit that there is something strange here, I feel there is a flow of Mana that leads to your enemy, as if someone is filling his Mana.”.

“Can you detect where the flow is coming from?”

“While I'm working on”

“Oi!”

“Although I don't know what he's doing but as long as it's useful I don't mind it”

The junta thought for a moment about what Zonya said earlier, could it be that his rapid movements, which were even on par with Kou, were due to someone flowing their Mana to that person? Did that fellow receive some sort of enhancement magic like buff?

If he receives buff magic, then this makes sense, so far the Junta has not seen anyone in this world who can see Kou's movements to the point of fending off his attacks, even seeing the Kou movement was a very troublesome undertaking for the military chief of a kingdom, general Barmun.

“Kou, we will try to attack him again, are you ready?”

“I'm always ready”

“Alright, I'm starting!”

The junta suddenly disappeared and was suddenly already in front of the masked person.

With a powerful energy, Junta slashed the person in the direction of his stomach.

But the man managed to dodge by jumping backwards.

Not long ago he landed, Kou was already behind him as if he was waiting, and quickly, Kou slashed at that person with a speed that could not be seen.

The masked man leaped to the side to avoid Kou's attack.

Not long ago that person touched the ground, a sharp ice spear suddenly appeared from underground.

Of course the masked man avoided it, but the ice spear kept chasing him and kept appearing randomly so it was very difficult to guess.

After roughly jumping as much as 4x to dodge the ice spears that had appeared at an unusual speed, Junta suddenly was already behind the person as if he was waiting for him, he said, The junta powerfully slashed out its sword which burned the blue flames vertically.

The masked man looked surprised and unprepared for the Junta's attack, so he avoided it by jumping.

The choice to jump in order to avoid the Junta attack was the right choice, because right now, the burning sword was making the ground around where the sword was stuck also burning.

While still in the air, the masked man was shocked by the existence of Kou who already existed far above him, right in front of Kou appeared a giant ice spear that came out of nowhere, the giant spear Kou threw down right towards the masked man!.

The giant spear shot out and finally stuck it to the ground, after poking the spear out spikes of ice pointed from underground around the spear.

It all happened very quickly so the Junta did not know whether the attack had hit the masked man or not.

And Junta saw the masked man standing not far from Kou's ice spear, he stood looking at Junta like a statue.

“Sister of this man crazy”

Kou said that while he was landing.

“No doubt its ability is at different level”

“He can avoid all our duet attacks unharmed, it is clear he is on a different level!”

Not long after Kou said that, the masked man walked leisurely towards them, as he walked, he flicked his finger 2 times”

After the flick was over, the Junta suddenly caught a glimpse of some kind of magic flow that seemed to surround that area of the river.

“Junta! I sensed something strange in this area all of a sudden!, for some reason I could not use my teleportation magic to move to another tree!”

“What? Try another magic”

“Can't! That guy seemed to be using something that was interfering with my teleportation magic!”

Junta thought for a moment, what magic can interfere with teleportation magic?

“Kou, Zonya said that she couldn't use her teleportation magic after that guy flicked her finger, you know why?”

“H.. Hold still.. Don't-don't... Dimensional Lock?”

Junta and Kou suddenly made expressions as if they were aware of something.

“Kakak!”

“I Allow!”

With a very fast movement, faster than usual, Kou moved towards the masked person.

“Forbidden Family Technique: Echte Schuine Streep!”

The 3 slashes Kou shot out at an incredible speed and also the dimension of space in front of him seemed to shift, as if its dimensions were being cut down.

The masked person was indeed hit by the slash that Kou was shooting at, but the moment he was slashed, his body flickered as if he was a shadow of a projector so there were no injuries at all on his body, Kou who saw this immediately returned to his side to take some distance.

As Kou returns to his sister's side, his hair is no longer red but white, signifying that Kou is activating the forbidden magic he used to save his sister and Queen Rana's palace from a mysterious attack, Full Potential's.

“What person is a shadow?”

Kou asked in a serious tone.

“Only that's the only reasonable answer based on the knowledge and facts we have”

“If he is not a shadow, then this will be a very difficult fight”

“I don't want to admit it but someone who can avoid the true slash that you launched earlier isn't an ordinary person.. Even I doubt whether he belongs to people or not”

Suddenly black smoke appeared around the person after Junta spoke to Kou.

Kou who understood that the man was trying to escape quickly took out his spears and threw all those spears towards the black smoke.

After the black smoke disappeared, the masked man was no longer there, the Kou spears he had thrown earlier were all stuck in the tree behind the black smoke.

Kou who understood that this fight was over started to turn off the Full Potential magic and his hair slowly returned to red.

After her hair returned to its red color, Junta and Kou suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground.

Turns out it was Zonya, she was lying on the ground motionless.

Junta and Kou immediately ran towards Zonya and looked at her situation.

“I think he fainted Brother, it's just that this is strange.

Kou said that while holding onto his Zonya forehead with his hands shining green.

Suddenly Junta remembered Zonya's words, something about the help of Mana that he absorbed.

“Uhm.. Actually Zonya helps us by giving us the Mana she absorbed to us”

“What? You think he fainted because where was he absorbed when I activated Full Potential?”

“Uh.. I'm afraid that's what really happened”

Kou's hand started to shine brighter after Junta said that, after a while of touching Zonya's forehead with her shining hand, Zonya slowly opened her eyes.

“Ugh.. My head hurts so much, did I eat that poisonous insect again.”.

“Uhm.. I don't know what you mean but I don't think”

　

　

After sitting down, Zonya looked around, and she suddenly realized something.

“Oh! Where is the enemy?! Where's the masked man?!”

“The guy's already escaped, you don't have to worry”

“Kabur?! Oh shit! It will be even more troublesome!”

“How can it?”

Kou asked in a confused tone.

“That means he'll tell The Fingers what happened and we'll be fugitives! If only we could kill him maybe The Fingers would be hard enough to find the killer if we could hide his corpse!”

“From that, do you remember anything before you fainted?”

“Ugh.. I can't remember.. I only remember after telling you about my teleportation magic that didn't work, that's all.. Maybe I fainted from over-exerting myself in using magic iku”

Kou looks like he wants to talk, but Junta hints to be quiet, Kou understands that so he follows his brother's orders.

“Do you feel okay?”

“Yes.. In addition to my head that is still very sick I feel fine”

Zonya stood up and walked towards the dead spider monster on the river, after arriving, Zonya cut one of the spider's eyes with a knife and put it in the bag.

“What are you doing?”

Junta asked as he walked with Kou towards Zonya.

“I took part of this monster body, I do not know anything about this monster, but who knows the Association will pay for it”

“Association will pay for it?”

“Right, the Association will pay you if you kill a monster, all you need to do is take one part of that monster and then you take it to the receptionist, later let him take care of the rest”

“Once yes, enough 1 part?”

“Enough 1 part”

The Junta followed in Zonya's footsteps and began to take out one part of the monster, not the eye that Junta and Kou had taken, but his leg.

“Alright, because somehow we can solve the problem that is here, let's go back to the village to purify that water so that we can return to our home!”
