A few minutes later after Kazuma and Regina zoomed off, Kazuma was still scanning the area, he had a mild look of annoyance on his face, but the boy was concentrated "Fuck. Can't find anything important here. The base should probably be at front. There's no way all that is here is just a bunch of wild beasts and a couple of assassins.". Kazuma turned to Regina "Hey, Regina, you can hear me, right?", Regina didn't respond at all. Regina while flying from tree to tree along side Kazuma had her eyes shadowed by her hair, she flashbacked to the moment where Yuji yelled at her. Regina was silent, she thought to herself "He probably hates me now. Seeing how child like I can be, what am I even doing? The fact that I like someone doesn't mean I should care if they stay behind to die or not.". Kazuma snapped his finger to get Regina out of her head. Regina immediately snapped out of her thought "Huh?", she exclaimed with a small tone. Kazuma just smiled "Good, you're back to earth....", he faced his front and explained to her "Look, Regina. Yuji doesn't hate you at all. The fact that he yelled at you wasn't because he found you annoying, it was because he cared for both me and you.". Regina's eyes glowed with life "Really?", Kazuma replied with a smirk "Yeah, he does. You see, before now, all the missions we've been taking were just kill and arrest bandit missions. This kind of mission where we have to go and find some criminal organisations that has a well thought out world domination plan is new to us, especially me. Although I'm not so surprised by it, but still, its something new.". Regina just smiled softly "You really think that Yuji doesn't hate me?", Kazuma replied with a soft smirk while facing forward "Yes, i do think he doesn't hate you.". Suddenly, a beam of purple energy blitzed past them, Kazuma and Regina dodged in slow motion as the bullet covered with purple lightning flew by them and caused a huge explosion that incinerated a large portion of trees and caused a forcefull breeze all over the place. Kazuma and Regina were sent crashing to the ground by the huge waves of wind due to the explosion. Luckily, Kazuma grabbed a tree while Regina grabbed his leg to hold onto him. Kazuma let go of the tree and seemed like he and Regina were being blown to the ground, but luckily, Kazuma and Regina landed on the forest floors safely despite the huge breeze. After the breeze disappeared, Regina looked up with her dark purple eyes, Kazuma was annoyed and looked up "Now who is it?". They both saw two assassins without masks, they were both female, one was holding a rail gun, and the other was holding a sword. Kazuma in annoyance exclaimed "Offcourse, its a female again.". The lady holding the rail gun pointed at Kazuma "YOU must be the kids from the city of Kagahara that were sent here to get us.", Kazuma replied with a smirk and a head tilt "And you must be the wannabe assassins stealing people's hearts. For a pretty lady, you sure do take that phrase to a whole different level.". The lady got irritated, her rail gun started to glow with purple lightning, she exclaimed with annoyance "You cheeky brat!", she started shooting barrages of purple lightning bullets "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO!", she exclaimed as her barrage of bullets went wild. Kazuma and Regina started to run and dodge for their lives. Huge explosion of purple lightning were blasting all over the place, these blasts were laying wastes to everything around them in a flurry of lightning. As the kids kept dodging, Regina scolded Kazuma "Now look at what you've done, you've made this person want to kill us the more! You purple haired idiot!", Kazuma replied with a playfull smirk "Don't get annoyed at me...", he jumped into the air and activated his spirit (Double triangle with two dots) he created huge spiritual shurikens on his arms and yelled with excitement "I WAS JUST TRYING TO HAVE FUN!", and shot a barrage of spiritual shurikens at rapid fire from the one's he created on his hand, he this this in order to counter the bullets of purple lightning. Rapid fire explosions were being caused all over the forest, Kazuma had an excited smirk on his face while doing this, his spiritual explosion attacks were overwhelming the lightning bullets. As this female assassin kept shooting, she had a face of difficultly "So much power.... from just a kid?!", Regina on the other hand partially used the back of her hand to cover her face from the light of the explosion "He can be so calm, but so wild and chaotic. If he and Mio were to survive long enough to even have a kid, that child would be menace to society!". The other assassin with a sword appeared behind Regina and was about to slice her head off, Regina and Kazuma immediately sensed and spotted her. Kazuma exclaimed while blasting beams "Regina!", Regina turned around with a sword of purple energy on her hand and started clashing with said assassin. As they were having a powerful sword clash of their own, Regina and this assassin seemed even. This female assassin went in for a strike, but Regina swiftly dodged and cut off the assassins arm and gave her a devastating kick which sent her flying through a line of trees. Kazuma jumped down from air and landed beside Regina, the other female assassin that Regina had kicked had already regrouped with her partner. Kazuma smirked "Oh, I see. You with the rail gun is the lady no one wants to marry coz of her hot tempered attitude, and the other one with the sword is the quiet killer. Makes sense.". Fuya(The lady with the rail gun, 22 years old) replied with annoyance "You cocky damn brat.", Nexa(The quiet lady with the sword 20 years old), told Fuya "Fuya, you're getting angry again.". She snapped her finger and robot like figures started to appear out of a dark portal, they were about 300 in number. Regina and Kazuma were sharp and ready, "Shadow puppets?", Regina asked herself. Fuya smirked "Hm, these aren't shadow puppets at all. These are robots with the hearts of humans.", Regina and Kazuma were stunned to hear this statement "What?", Kazuma muttered while being stunned. Fuya explained "You see, the hearts and bones we steal are used to make shadow puppets for better stenght and durability. We then make these shadow puppets wear robotic armours to help for better combat. Using human organs to create shadow puppets would be a problem for any C-rank like you and I too face. But giving them robotic armours is a death sentence to anyone who faces them....", a crazed smirk appeared on Fuya's face as she exclaimed "YOU KIDS ARE DEAD!". Regina on the other hand turned to Kazuma "Kazuma, let-", she was stunned to see Kazuma with an angry expression on his face, he was grinning his teeth with anger and tears were on his eyes "YOU.....KILLED THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE JUST FOR THIS?! HOW DARE YOU!!!!". Regina was stunned to see this expression of rage on Kazuma's face. Kazuma lets out a huge scream as purple energy blasted out of his body and was destroying everything. He screamed in anger as his spirit mark started to go crazy with even more power. Fuya and Nexa were stunned, including Regina "What the..?", they all exclaimed. Kazuma with this burst of fury exclaimed "Now, I'm going to kill you.... THE EXACT SAME WAY YOU KILLED THESE PEOPLE!"
