Chapter 280 - The Ark Of Fastest Quadruplet

It formed into a huge wave before being compressed into a circular shape. Both weapons met and the wand disintegrated into feathers, each burning bright.

Within a blink of an eye, each feather exploded, causing a shockwave that blew Gab away. This also alerted Bryan and Mavislin since it was just around the corner.​​

Clement jumped from his seat as he turns his head to find the source of the explosion.

"What was that? Another bombing?!" asked Clement, in a frantic state.

"Nah... That was Ysabeau fighting off another pesky Mage wannabe. Besides, they are quite far away, about a hundred-mile radius," said Mavislin, shoving some mashed potatoes into her face.

"Boss! This isn't the time to eat! What if Ysabeau gets badly injured?!" protested Bryan.

"Then I'll rip off her wings with my b.a.r.e talons."

Bryan looked confused and shocked. Mavislin swallowed another bite and continued.

"Listen, I won't forgive her if she loses to pipsqueak like this. In fact, I'll slaughter her right in front of her husband."

"Hang on, isn't she your mother? Or at least, your foster mother? There is no need to be so strict on her just because she failed to kill someone."

"She is my foster mother, by right now, she is my superior. And in the Arks, we are preparing to change positions. Especially with the second in command. Basically, I'm fighting with her right now. If she loses a simple fight, that would mean I can rise the ranks. And it is such a turnoff when your superior loses to a weak opponent like this."

"Mavis! That's not very nice, she is still..."

"You don't have to worry so much. She hasn't even unleashed her powers yet. The most she did was use one of the Basic Spells."

"That's a relief..."

"Put some faith in us, Bryan. If not, I'll pound it into your soul."

Bryan pouted but did not continue protesting. His stomach made a big growl, promptly making his boss laugh.

"Well, why don't you have a go with this food? There is quite a lot. You haven't touched a single thing while we were arguing here," laughed Mavislin, passing some slices of ham to the man.

Bryan took it hungrily. And with a small hint of embarrassment.

"Besides, we've got only another minute before this one strikes us," said Mavislin, as she tapped two fingers on the table.

It was a steady beat, thud, thud, thud...

And exactly 60 taps later, their opponent slammed through the window. She landed gracefully on a chair before leaping off onto the floor. Clement cursed inwardly as the window shattered.

"That's another one gone this week... Why can't you be normal and use the front door?" asked Clement, shaking his head.

"I've been trying to knock, you never heard me. Besides, it was the only way to break the barrier around the place..." complained the young girl.

"We never placed a barrier around the place. Don't look at me for answers," said Bryan.

"That's not a barrier, that was my Elemental Aura," said the Valkyrie, grinning.

"That's impossible!" yelled the young girl.

She wore a ragged dress with its helms torn. Her skin was pale with slight bruises everywhere. Her brown hair was messy and her full black eyes felt uneasy for Bryan to look at.

"Well, ever since you were human, you never did like using doors," commented Mavislin, smiling.

"You sound familiar... Who are you?" asked the young girl, tilting her head.

"I was there to play with you four. I was the one who bathed you four. Have you forgotten the person who took care of you?" asked Mavislin, lifting an eyebrow.

"Really? I can't... Seem... To recall... But you are familiar..."

Looks like her memories are all over the place, thought Mavislin as she stood up from her seat. Snatching another prawn, she prepared to face off the Fastest Quadruplet.

"Those things don't matter anyway. Time to eliminate you!" yelled the young girl, propelling herself towards Mavislin.

The Valkyrie threw her prawn into the air and caught the girl's high kick. The Valkyrie's mouth just in time to catch the falling prawn as well. But the girl continued her assaults, throwing kicks and punches with ungodly speeds.

But Mavislin could sense and predict her movements. With each assault, the Valkyrie blocked it with ease. And it was starting to bore her. And this was happening all within a few chews of her prawn. Bryan could barely keep up with the two as they continued to brawl.

But alas, Mavislin won't be able to use any good spells to finish the kid off. Or else, it risked the building collapsing. Nope, she didn't need to pull off any of those fancy spells. Her hand-to-hand combat was enough to face this opponent.
