The Kraken cried in pain, wriggling in the water while a high voltage was burning its body to crisp. 

"Craaahhhh!!!"

The tentacles started smashing everywhere, causing some large splashes of water, almost like great streams of tidal waves. 

Even the monsters around the small piece of land were affected. Some lost their control over swimming while most were injured by the tentacles and the electric current running in the water. 

Fortunately, Nikki was wearing a battle suit so she was not affected by the electric current. 

She started pummeling the affected monsters, killing them one by one. It was good that she was wearing a battle suit, or else the Umibozos might paralyze her again. 

"Calix, are you okay?"

She raised her voice, looking at Calix who was fighting a tug of war against the giant octopus. 

"I'm fine!"

Calix replied, grinning while keeping on his feet. 

He sighed in relief that he training his muscles these days. Maybe gym training was worth it too. 

"Thanks to my gym bros out there."

He huffed. 

"Amazing…"

Nikki had incredible strength too but she couldn't see herself fighting a tug of war against a Kraken and winning. Yet Calix could do it flawlessly, with a smile on his face. 

Even Calix was surprised that he could actually do this. He understood that a Kraken this big could drag him like nothing, but he was wrong, this Tiger-class couldn't do anything except accept its fate. 

"Mmuuwwaaatggg!!"

The Kraken was deep in pain. It felt that its inside was slowly getting cooked, it didn't feel good at all. Furthermore, no matter how many times the monster tried to rip the line, it didn't tear at all. The worst was that it couldn't pull Calix. 

The Kraken was confident in its strength, but facing Calix made it lose its self-esteem. The guy didn't budge at all. 

However, since the Kraken was a tiger-class and it had strong rationality. Its will to survive was far stronger. The monster could think, and this was the right moment to use its brain. 

"Woah."

Because the Kraken couldn't budge Calix. The monster decided to destroy the land instead. The Kraken slowly crushed the land until Calix and Nikki only had a small space to walk on. 

Then,

"Gaatrgghhh!!"

The monster raised its tentacles to completely eradicate the tiny island. 

"Ah, as expected, even the harpoon is not enough."

"Calix, we have to do something. We're in the middle of the ocean and it's a suicide to fight water-type Aberrants in their natural habitat!"

Nikki reminded Calix. It seemed like electrocuting the Kraken was not enough to finish the monster. They had to kill it in one swoop. 

She stared at Calix, waiting for his answer. However, out of her expectation, Calix did not move at all. 

"Calix?"

He was just standing, holding his weapon as if he didn't care about his safety. 

"Don't worry," He chuckled and looked at the sky. "I'm Lucky?"

"Huh?"

Nikki was confused why this guy kept mumbling about luck. She started to ask himself if Calix had a trump card.

"T- then--"

"Nope, I know what you're thinking. I'm sorry but I don't have a trump card."

He shook his head. In the first place, he didn't have anything in his pocket. 

"Then why are you so confident!?"

"Look at the sky."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Nikki didn't have a choice but to do it. Perhaps the reinforcement had arrived. She looked up and…

"There's nothing, I can't see anything except for some clouds!"

"Exactly."

"…"

Nikki facepalmed. This guy, she thought Calix was the most sensible of all. But maybe she was wrong, this guy had some loose screws too. 

'An arrogant Elf who thinks that she's the best. A crazy pink-haired woman who likes to stalk Calix. And Scarlett who didn't care about anything except for Calix… This is indeed the Special Unit. The Special Children Unit.'

She confirmed the reason why Calix was a member. It was actually amazing that Nikki easily gather information about the team in just a short span. 

"Calix, we have to leave this place. Grab on me!"

Left with no choice, Nikki decided that they have to forfeit the tiny island. Because she was wearing a battle suit, her strength and speed were boosted and she was confident that she could swim at least a hundred meters. 

"I will stop the monsters while you escape."

That was her plan. 

"Of course… You have to make sure that you will return. I don't want to die."

She muttered. Calix saved her earlier, it was her time to return the favor.

"Nikki, you know what, you should always talk like that. Your voice is quite raspy but soothing in the ears. I like it."

Yet, the bastard flirted with Nikki instead.

"W- what are you saying!? This is not the time to compliment me!"

Nikki was mad although her cheeks were bright red. Everyone likes compliments, after all.

"I said don't worry… She's here."

Calix's eyes turned serious that even Nikki was startled for a second. She swallowed hard and turned around. 

"I know that you're spying on me since a week ago."

Calix whispered, looking at the upcoming person. 

The monsters saw that a speed boat was approaching them at maximum speed. The boat hit the monsters that blocked its way, rupturing them.

There was only one person on the boat. The woman was wearing a maid uniform, her silver hair shone because of the reflection of the sun, and she was holding a metal bat as if that was the normal thing to do. 

"Athena Hercul."

Calix said. 

The silent woman who would always follow Scarlett but act that she was nothing but air, that was Calix's impression of Athena. One way or another, she would always prioritize her lady. 

Athena turned the speed up and directly collided into the head of a 30-meter tall octopus. 

The Kraken growled as another hole appeared on its body. On top of that, the boat exploded and burned it. 

Athena successfully landed on the land and glared at Calix. 

Yet Calix casually shrugged his shoulders. 

"I thought You were not going to show up."

"How long did you know?"

"It's a secret."

"Tch."

Athena clicked her tongue and swung her bat towards the crying Kraken. 

[To be fair, I'm not really sure if I gave Athena a proper description so... Here it is!!]
