Chapter 3 - Chapter 2- I cast Punch.

"Well I am happy for you Lad! Being someone who can use Dew makes ya a lot more important! You'll be swimmin in gold BAHAHAHA" Ripley laughed to himself as I smiled

Looking down at my hands I felt the power, I could use magic… or well dew in this world. It was an amazing feeling. I felt like I had become a whole new person!

"But be careful Lad! Just because you can use dew, doesn't mean you are all that strong! Even beginner Yew users can beat people who are new to using Dew!" Ripley informed with sternness, to which I nodded. My face still smiles

"Oh relax Ripley, it isn't like I am picking a fight with anyone anytime soon!" I say with a smile as we hear a holler from our right

"OI IT'S OLD MAN RIPLEY!" A plain looking man, followed by a people yelled out

"Lad… Run. Run as far as you can and do not come back." Ripley informed me seriously as I felt a shiver crawl up my spine.

Are these people…. Dangerous?

"Oi Ripley! No need to tell your little friend to run! Our business is with you anyway! So tell me ya old coot….. Where's my money?" the man said, my eyes narrowing toward him and his companions

One was a woman who had a sword at her hips, a large man who was incredibly buff and another shorter man who I saw had a dagger on his hip.

The man talking…. while he looked plain, still had a sharp edge to his voice

"I told ya Brick, you'll get your money as we agreed. The agreed payment date is a month away." I hear Ripley say with full seriousness as Brick had a devilish smile on his face

"Oh?~ But what if I want my money now? I really need some cash on hand ya see…. So give me everything you got, ya owe me anyways." Brick said with a devilish grin as his partners looked seriously ahead, the shorter man having a smile mirroring his.

"I told ya Brick. You'll get your money when we had agreed you would." Ripley said with narrowed eyes as Brick swung at him

My hand darted toward him as I was able to catch his wrist before he was able to punch Ripley

He had very little muscle. Seems to me that he was the brains of the operation while his companions were the muscle

"Lad…. Lad you gotta leave, the girl… the girl can use yew. You can't win" Ripley whispered towards me seriously as I smiled

"Who the fuck do you think you are ya bitch?" Brick spat at my face as I simply continued smiling

"Oh nothing, just some trash cleaner about to clean up trash." I said with an arrogant smirk as he tried to reel back his fist but before he could, I landed a clean punch on his face, knocking him straight to the ground

"Ripley, you should run. I'll keep them in check till you get somewhere safe." I said seriously as Ripley nodded and ran, valuing his life

Brick's companions began walking forward, having watched for too long

"Do you really think you'll get away with this? I got backers!" Brick yelled out to me as the girl drew out her sword, the buff man also prepared to charge as the smaller man also looked at me with his dagger drawn

"I think…. I'll be fine." I said, keeping a confidant persona but inside..?

Inside I was shitting my pants.

Its a 4 on 1 and one of the girls can use a type of magic. I need to buy time…. I need to figure out how to escape.

"Fucking cocky motherfucker. Who's backing you? Is it that lightning family? I heard their second son became a Tena here." Brick said, his eyes narrowed as I smiled, raising both my hands as if I got caught

"Oof, you caught me. I think you understand that it's a bad idea to fuck with me then." I said, my eyes narrowing as Brick looked at me before smiling 

"You dumb fucking bitch. The lightning family? Might as well name yourself dumbass." Brick said before the girl rushed me, her sword drawn as people around us noticed

Seeing a drawn sword, people began to panic and started yelling, I just focused on keeping myself alive.

My hands still raised toward them, I let out a single word.

"Kura" 

The air exploded toward her as she was flung back into the big man who was barely able to catch her.

It felt great to use magic. I could feel it inside my body as well. I felt powerful and i could buy myself some time at the very least.

"Yo- YOU CAN USE DEW!?" Brick yelled at me with widened eyes as I smiled

"Yep. So if you don't want what happened to your friend to happen to the rest of you all….. I suggest running." I said with a deadly serious expression as he looked around, seeing people in panic as he narrowed his eyes

"You…. fuck fine. Everyone leave!" Brick said in all seriousness as the girl who was knocked away looked toward me 

"No….. I need to fight him, I haven't fought a dew user in a long time." she said while holding up her sword, a cackling yellow aura surrounding her

Her black hair and black eyes were highlighted well by the aura i might add.

"Yuro. What's your name?" she asks me seriously

"Me? You can call me Nobody." I said with a smile as her face contorted in rage, charging toward me a lot faster than humanly possible as I barely react in time

"LUVA!" I yell out in hurry as a large stream of water erupts from my outstretched hand, pushing her away as I kept pushing water out of my body, eventually pushing it until she hit a building and fell down on her chest

I barely reacted…. If I had reacted a second later, I'd be dead.

I kept my head cool as I faked a smile once more

"Get out while you still can. If I decide to burn you, you won't be able to walk away without permanent injury." I said with my narrowed eyes as Brick looked back at the other two guys who simply nodded as he ran away

Leaving Yuro…?

Why'd they leave her behind

"Halt where you are!" I hear a loud booming voice as I saw a large ball of fire headed my way

"WHAT THE- LUVA!" I yelled out before it reached me as the jet of water that erupted from my hands would only pierce the fireball, the rest would still hit me

I am not sure whether it was instinct or magic itself protecting me. But I was able to change how Luva came out from my hand. 

Instead of erupting as a jet of water, I was able to make it a large cone that was able to catch the fireball and protect me

"Fascinating! A dew user I do not know about!" I hear someone say as my eyes wander to the man in question, a man with black hair and red eyes.

"Why the hell did you send a fireball my way! I could've died!" I yell out toward the man as he laughed

"You would not have died! I would've stopped the burning as soon as you were incapacitated!" The man jovially commented as I felt my eye crack at that

What the fuck is wrong with him?

"Either way, you're under arrest for causing public unrest, come by willingly or force me to incapacitate you" He says, a lot more serious now as I nod

"Alright, I'll come willingly" I say blankly as he looked surprised at my choice

"Seriously? Wow I expected resistance…. Usually people who fight in the middle of a street like this run" He said in exasperation as I couldn't help but shrug

"The girl was the one who attacked me first, all I did was protect myself." I say seriously as the man nods

"Very well, I'll bring you in and we can talk further at the guard house" he said as I nodded

"Also, pleasure to meet another dew user, My name is Heathcliff Sears, of the Sears House!" He introduces himself as I return the courtesy

"My name is Cato Adrenna, technically a commoner" I said with a smile as he nodded

We walked to the station as I couldn't help but feel excited, magic was amazing. It was fun. I don't think I have ever felt as alive as I did now.

Authors Note
