Chapter 175: Get Ready!

(We're back at Hana's view after she told Alex to fight the scientist. Don't get confused haha)

Hana looked at Alex and then turned back to the two Masked Awakeneds who took no time to attack her. The forces behind their punches were equivalent to her own punch before. 'To think that they had this high quality of a serum already made. To the point of jumping them to the Mid to High S rank power… Plus two of them at once in an enclosed place like this, It'll be something that I'll have problems with. I can't go all out with my powers or else this mine might cave in on it self. I can't Have Alex getting hurt and we might even have some innocents somewhere in this place where they were conducting experiments…' Hana seemed to be annoyed.

'To think that I need to hold back when this time comes… I saw it coming but still, it's a pain.' Hana blocked their strike but was thrown back a few meters. She looked at the two and spoke, "Still not enough to take me down." Hana's pupils started to glow a faint emerald green color as she looked at the two. 

The crying face masked woman looked at her partner and jumped back, it looked like they were planning something. She jumped back and pulled out her sword that was on her hip. The Man in the Smiling mask, however, Didn't do anything. He only stood there with his umbrella and kept on tilting his head at Hana. 

"I must say, You're such a pretty woman yet to have such a cold and stern expression on that face… I can't say that it doesn't match you, but it isn't the best expression to have…" The man spoke as he continued to tilt his head, closely observing Hana's features.

Hana didn't want to hear the man at all and jumped to attack him with her fists. The man used his umbrella to block her attack however, she was thrown back with full force from Hana's attack.

The Man, however, didn't stop talking even after being attacked to that level. He continued, "well, The expression you have on your face right now might also be good for some men. The harsh and cruel face, Oh so many men will love being trampled by you. I can't but feel something myself." His voice became deeper as he continued to speak.

Hana shook her head, 'He's trying to get me to attack him even more by provoking me… He hasn't shown me his ability yet." Hana was trying to think what the man's ability was but she wasn't given a proper second to herself as the woman started to slick towards Hana with her sword. 

As she did, what looked to be water droplets fell from her face as she swung at Hana. 'Her abilities are water based!' Hana came to the conclusion. She didn't see the crying faced woman use her abilities yet but she could decipher it from how her mask was made and the fact that the woman seemed to be crying. Her tears didn't fall to the ground but were collected behind her, almost hidden from Hana's sight. But Hana was lucky enough to get a glance. 

Hana jumped back, she knew something was coming. The sound of sobbing also became louder as the aura around the woman was intense. Hana readied herself for an attack from the woman.

'BEHIND' Hana looked behind her, the smiling man propelled himself towards her, his umbrella at hand. The man struck Hana's back, their first actual attack that successfully landed on Hana. Hana grunted but quickly caught the umbrella before the man could pull it away and pulled the man closer to her. She got ready to punch the man but Hana felt a cool sensation at the back of he head. 

She looked back to see that the crying woman was shooter water drops at her. Hana threw the man's umbrella to the far side of the mind, throwing him along with it, and touched the back of her head. 

Hana looked at her fingers to see blood. 'The water must be extremely fast to get be to bleed like that.' She spoke to herself. 

The attacks seemed to be landing on Hana. Everything Hana planned to attack one, the other would come perfectly in time to attack her while she was distracted. The two were in union. Plus, Hana was still in the unknown on the Man's powers. She now knew the powers of the crying woman but the man's abilities were still very secretive. 

The two masked faces jumped back, creating space between them and Hana. They were planning something. Hana looked at the two in a very annoyed expression. However, in the head of the moment, Hana noticed something very off. 

She looked at the other side of the mine and could see Alex striking himself. "Alex, what the hell are you doing." Hana was shocked by Alex's actions. He was stabbing himself repeatedly in his leg and surrounding body parts. However, her concern was answered she Hana noticed a small amount of pink liquid in Alex's wounds. 

"Still, you Idiot, that amount of Blood is lethal! Even for an Awakened, you still have Limits. Especially if it's self inflicted." Hana jumped towards Alex.

As she did, the two masked faces jumped towards her. Successfully striking Hana. The sword was stabbed into Hana's stomach while the umbrella struck the back of her neck. Hana grunted. She continued to accelerate towards Alex, who was pale. Alex kneeled on the floor, lacking enough power to properly stand. He looked a the scientist who was laughing. Alex saw another tentacle being struck towards himself. He gathered his strength and put his guns up to protect himself as much as he could but the tentacles never landed. 

Alex opened his eyes and saw Hana, With a sword in her stomach. She turned to Alex and spoke, "This place will go down in a few seconds. There seem to be some people but their distance from this specific mine is far. The lack of oxygen will be a problem so we have to finish this battle as quickly as possible so we can rush to save them later. Alex, Promise me to use all your powers to kill this man!" Her voice was powerful.
