64 Chapter 64: Did you think I'm powerless?

Hazel's face soon darkened when she saw an assassin bring out a poisoned knife and attack him from behind.

Her eyes flared in anger as she flashed past the intruders and stood behind Usui. She caught hold of the assassin's hands, " I hate sneak-attacks the most."

Saying that her palms crushed his wrist and blasted the assassin away. She tutted under her breath, "What a nasty move!" and threw the knife away. 

She looked at the rest and smirked, 'You all need to pay for looking down on me.'

Her eyes swept past others and flashed them a grin. Her palms created a vortex of blue flames and blasted them away. 

She looked back to see Usui and the middle guy look at her in surprise.

She tsked, "When did I say that I need saving?" and showed her fist threateningly at them.

"Did you think I was powerless just because I'm a princess?" she looked coldly at the middle guy.

The middle guy's eyes enlightened as he finally made a move. He appeared before her in an instant and kicked her. Hazel caught hold of his leg while her other hand mustered a huge ball of fire and directed it at him.

The guy laughed as he twisted his hold from her and dodged the attack which knocked into another assassin who had just woken up. Poor guy!

Both of them moved back as they faced each other. She heard Usui grit his teeth, "Why didn't you say you knew how to fight?"

Hazel raised her eyebrows as she retorted mockingly, "Weren't you the one who concluded that I couldn't fight?"

Usui's lips twitched when he realized that she was holding a grudge because he looked down on her.

"Can we talk about that later and just focus on saving our asses for now?"

She said while exchanging blows with the guy, "You are the one who should focus on saving your ass. I would have been fine even if I had to deal with them alone." 

She hissed when she received a blow to her injured shoulder. The guy noticed her wincing slightly so he focused all his attacks on her shoulder.

Beads of sweat starting forming on her forehead as she dodged all the attacks. 'Damn this guy!'

Angrily, she covered her body under blue fire and dashed towards him. The guy laughed as he struck his palm at her but later surprised clouded his mind when his hand burnt. 

The guy created a distance between them before he looked at his gloved hand which was burnt severely.

He threw back his hoodie and a bright green hair came into view. He said slowly while removing the gloves, "The pretty princess needs to be taught a lesson before unleashing your punishment." 

Hazel's hand gripped around the hilt under her cloak as she watched the guy's aura shift tremendously.

'So much pressure! Powerful'

Hazel looked at him seriously and thought whether she should uncover her disguise or not.

And then he paused his actions and glanced at her. He emphasized the last words, "That is only if you can."

Hazel's lips twitched as she screamed, 'Stop looking down on me!'

"But before that, let's enjoy ourselves.'

Saying this the guy appeared before her in an instant. Seeing him appear before her, Hazel was slow to block his attack but surprisingly his attack was directed at her dress. Hazel tried to move backward but that move just made the damage worse. 

Sound of ripping disturbed Usui from his battle. he glanced back and stared in shock. Hazel glanced at the glaring big slit right in the middle, displaying her snowy white legs in view.

Hazel furrowed her brows while the guy straightened up and said, "So close but the view is still good. You have great legs."

She pursed her lips when she understood what he meant by "enjoy" earlier. 

She gritted her teeth as she covered her body in flames and attacked him. The clashing of powers disturbed the beasts dwelling nearby. The guy smirked as he dodged her attack and caught her arm. Hazel raised her eyebrow when his hand didn't get burnt.

His hands slid across her arms making her shiver in the process. She gritted her teeth as she tried to elbow him but he managed to dodge it and appear behind her.

He murmured, "What would your people say when they hear that their beloved princess was stripped publicly?"

Right after that, he made a clean strike at her back, tearing the cloak into two pieces successfully.

Hazel suddenly covered her dagger with the remaining cloak and gritted her teeth hatefully at him. 

'Grr.. why does it feel like he's pressuring me to battle with full strength?'

"Hazel, I will come over in a second." when he saw how the guy was hell-bent on stripping her clothes.

Angrily, he pierced the ground with his sword and the blue wave made them back away a little. He grabbed his sword and swayed it at them before moving backward. 

The wounded assassins glared at him and leaped forward. Unfortunately, their attacks met with a wall. They banged on the wall with all their might and stopped only when they heard him snort, "Keep on attacking it. It saves me the trouble."

He later added as if just remembering it, " Oh! Please do use your powerful attacks. It might be helpful..."

They glared at them as they slashed at the wall with all their attacks. They panted when nothing works but a moment later, the wall shook slightly. They rejoiced with that thought that it worked!

Usui smirked as he completed his sentence, " It might be helpful for me."

Their eyes widened when the wall absorbed their attacks and redirected them with double the amount. Screams reverberated inside the wall as they collapsed inside the wall.

Without waiting for a second, Usui hurriedly turned to help Hazel when he froze in his steps. 

"H-how?"
