Twenny puts her hand on her forehead, "*Sighs* What makes you think you can win?"
Flint looks at Chuck then at Twenny, "It's not about winning. We just want to see how much work we have ahead of us." Flint looks at Aku.
Aku looks at Twenny, "I might get the chance to spank you very well if you lose."
Twenny gives a wry smile as her thoughts, "Not in a million years." Then she speaks, "Alright. I'll spar with you but I won't go all out."
Chuck is taken aback, "Why not? It's 3 against 1."
Twenny smiles, "If you want me to go all out then you'll have to make me." She raises her hands at them as they're restored recovering all their stats. "This should be enough, we'll spar for 3 minutes. If you can make me move one step from here, and I'm not saying you should dig the earth below me. I'd go extra hard if you tried that." She gives an angelic smile but the words weren't angelic.
Aku grins, "You said you'll hold back right?" Twenny nods, "Then it's okay for me to go all out." She grins as a chill goes down Twenny's spine.
Flint, Aku and Chuck stand at one side as they get into fighting stances to fight Twenny. Twenny smacks her cheeks as she gets ready to spar, "Ready whenever you are!" she waves at them.
Aku charges as she becomes a blur running at full speed to Twenny but to Twenny, time on the earth froze. Twenny looks around her then it dawns on her, "Oh right, I have to reduce my rank to SS." She lowers her rank down as Aku starts to move before her though slow. Twenny raises her right hand and makes a spreading motion as a wall of runes appear before her. Aku runs right into it *BAAM!*
Chuck takes 2 steps then Twenny moves her fingers to the ground as a hole opens below Chuck and he falls up to his waist. Chuck is surprised, he looks up and sees a barrier cover him.
Flint is surprised by how in a few seconds his allies are down. "Tch, I know she's strong but this is insane. No flashy skills but we've already lost in a few seconds. DRAGON ROA- " Clay covers his mouth as he can't use his dragon roar skill. he sees Twenny covering her mouth as she giggles. Flint chooses to fight her head on but he raises his feet for a step and froze. There're patches in the ground as it's big enough for his leg. One wrong move and he's stuck so he stops making an attempt to walk
Twenny giggles, "You guys make a great team but you need more than teamwork to beat me. This is what I learned from my master, 'When fighting opponents you can't beat, make the environment fight for you.' You could have started by tossing dirt to make me loose sight of you then flank me as Chuck distracts me. But, but you lack experience fighting against extremely powerful opponents."
Flint shakes his head, "*Sighs* Even when I thought I could make you show a demonstration of what you can do, you hide your strength even more and win. I wanted to see how strong you are and how long it'll take for me to reach your level."
Twenny makes her right index finger move like swirling a tornado as runes appear on Aku and Chuck healing them. She scratches her head, "Look Flint, I know you want to know my strength but you can't. You just can't, you couldn't fathom what my real strength is nor my family's. I've been training far longer than you can think."
Flint chuckles, "I'd like to meet your family soon."
Chuck gets up on his feet, "Me too. You've got any sisters?"
Aku pounds his head then turns to Twenny, "I didn't think I'd miss my chance to spank you so quickly. We'll there's always a next time."
Twenny holds her butt, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NEXT TIME?!"
They burst into laughter, then get ready to leave but Twenny looks up at the barrier she's made. She takes a deep breath in and out as she gets a good feeling, enough to put her in a trance.
Flint turns to Twenny, "Teacher, we're ready to go."
Twenny is knocked out of her tance, "Huh? Oh yeah. You guys go ahead, I'll catch up." She smiles as the group nods and leave. Twenny watches them from the corner of her eyes until they leave the barrier then she takes another deep breath. Twenny speaks but with multiple voices as if echoing, "EP density is as high as the Monster Realm. I haven't felt so free since coming here."
Wind swirls around Twenny as the light intensity in the place changes in to 4 sectors. 1 sector has high light intensity, others low, one even snowing and the last a calm atmosphere. Twenny increases in size till she's 15 meters then splits into 4 people. They all look the same in terms of face but their different, one wields 2 axes, one has a book, one has a spear and the last holds nothing. They all speak at the same time, "How I've missed letting loose." They each stretch their bodies as some even do swing their weapons.
All 4 of Twenny breath in and out then one of them froze causing the others to freeze. They look down to see Licia standing under a tree watching her/them with a smile. They mumble, "Of course she sees me when I let my guard down." They stare at Licia hoping to scare her but Licia isn't afraid, she even walks up to them.
Licia stands before the 4 giants, then has a confused face. "Big sis Twenny, how do you control your bodies?"
The book slips out of one of Twenny's hands, then Twenny with the axe kneels down to get closer. "That's the first question you're asking? Not why I'm like this or what I even am?"
Licia smiles like a bright sun, "Big sis Twenny is big sis Twenny."
Twennys chuckle at her thinking, Twenny with a spear squats down. "Licia, I was born this way. To me it's strange how you only have one body."
Licia's widen, "Ohhhh." Her mind is just blown. "So you can see everywhere if you stand behind each other." They nod, Licia continues, "You can play together?" They chuckle and nod, Licia is…"Waaaooooww!! That's so cool!"
Twenny thoughts, "This child sees me and she isn't afraid because she already saw me in her dreams. Law of Fate is really something, too bad it can't predict my future." Twenny speaks to Licia, "Li, please keep this a secret for big sis okay?" Licia nods her head frantically as she makes a locking gesture with her hand on her mouth. Twennys find it cute.
One of Twenny sees dust clouds in the distance as one speaks to Licia, "Little Li, please go home okay."
Licia nods, "Okay." Then she's covered by red threads and disappears.
Twenny shakes her head and chuckles, "That Primac really dotes on her." All 4 of her looks at the clouds then follow the trail with their vision and sees where the source is coming. "Messengers from Frishia to gather people to deal with a monster break. That Razzle still hasn't given up on me huh, the haunted spirit seems to be doing a good job too. Though it got exposed by the priests, I did make a weak one so it's understandable. Cynthia is also scheming against me. Geez, what's your problem, girl?"
They each sit down and look at the sky, "This peaceful life is good. Sadly, the village has gotten too small for Flint and the others, I'm sure they'll join the militia to fight the monsters. They're all A rank, it would be nice if we could continue training here until they reach Level 199 Lord rank. Oh well, if something beyond their capability appears, I'll freeze time and eliminate it."
The Twennys continue to bask in the high EP density as back in the village, Flint and the duo arrive to see the messengers before the village. A messenger stands on a pile of boxes as he announces, "The King of Zolkia, King Lyricus has given the order to assemble abled men and women to fight against the monster tide." Another messenger steps forward, he's B rank, one of the strongest soldiers of Zolkia. "I will decide the number of people who must join the militia to fight. If you have enough people to be a challenge for me then, I will take those people."
The village chief walks up to them pleading, "Sir knight, we're only farmers. If you use such standards, you'll take everyone away leaving only the children to fend for themselves."
The messenger got a big head from being called a knight, he is not. "This is the order of the king and I will follow it through." He gives a smug grin as he looks down on the people before him.
