It has been a bit, but Fuu was at it again, taking up another job. This time however she was going at it alone...or at least that's what she thought. The last mission Fuu was on, she needed to be accompanied by Artemis who has now become Vice Captain of the Green Mantises. The mission the two were given was not that difficult. In fact, Fuu could've done it on her own, but due to how poorly she performed in previous jobs, mostly due to her stubborn and aggressive nature, the girl needed to be supervised by that water wielding elf. Fuu hated the idea of being watched over at first, but as that mission went on, she started to respect Artemis, especially with how much she reminded the dwarf of her late mentor. Plus she was able to finally complete a mission thanks to her and got two whole stars! To most that wasn't much, but to Fuu it felt special, felt that she finally accomplished something.
But now it was time to do better....
Fuu walked through the active town of Kikka located in the Common Region. Apparently there is this nut vendor here that is known to have a squirrel infestation of sorts. The idea of that made the noble chuckle a little. It was just too perfect, imagining that poor guy getting chased around by crazy squirrels. It was midday, around the time that these pests would begin their assault as the job paper explained. The sun was out with a few clouds here and there in the blue sky. A wonderful day for squirrel smashing!
The girl continued to walk until she noticed the vendor she's suppose to head to. There were already quite a few customers in line and even though the vendor was selling his nuts just fine, one could not help but notice that little hint of anxiousness on his face.
Once the vendor served the last customer, the man sighed in relief, not noticing Fuu approaching until she yelled out, "I see that your nuts are still intact!" causing the man to jump back a little in surprise. The guy took one look at the dwarf's knight cloak and loosened up a bit. "Ah, you're here for the job." the guy said, clasping his hands together in joy. "Those...little demons will be striking any second now...They always do." he added, looking around in a very paranoid fashion. Fuu rested her arms on the back of her head nonchalantly in response before rolling her eyes. "Coooome oooon. They're just squirrels. How bad can it be?" The guy then looked at the girl as if she said something very idiotic and offensive. "They're VERY dangerous! They torn through not just my previous products, but my previous stands as well. It's been costing me a fortune, plus they always scare my customers off. They've been coming less and less." He said with a frown. Fuu didn't look all too phased by this. She still wasn't buying the fact that squirrels could be this dangerous. "These monsters shouldn't be handled alone. Speaking of, the other knight should be arriving any moment now. I did send out two requests after all." The guy nodded while Fuu's look of amusement dwindled.
"Uh...what?" It was happening again! Fuu getting unnecessarily partnered up with someone. Hopefully it wasn't going to be with someone annoying...

It was time for Charles to take on another mission. It has been a while since he last took a mission and he needed to do another one before being yelled at for slacking too much at the Black Bulls base. He managed to find a mission easy enough that it will not require a lot of effort to complete plus he will get paid for completing it which was the only benefit he saw in completing missions. The town of Kikka located in the Common Region. It was a bit far from the Sosshi where the base of the Black Bulls was located. Over some period of time, Charles managed to learn new and more powerful spells alongside with a transportation spell. It will only make sense for someone as lazy as him will make a transportation spell to make things easier.
Flying all the way from the town of Sosshi to Kikka. The mission gave the details of the location to meet the person that was requesting the Magic Knight to come. It was a nut shop that has been getting attacked by squirrels recently and the vendor has requested the Magic Knights to help him out and get rid of the squirrels. The silver owl eventually descended near the shop in a safe area in order to not damage any nearby property. He didn't want to cause any issues and possibly have to deal with that later annoyed him. All he had in mind at the moment was to meet the vendor, he tells him what's going on, completes the mission, gets his payment, and heads back to the base once done.
The Black Bull got off of the silver owl and started to walk towards the vendor's shop. As he walked there he was able to see someone with a Green Mantis mantle talking to the vendor. The person was very small in size and was somewhat familiar to him. He walked up the vendor and the Green Mantis member as he scratched his head. "Sorry I'm late..." He spoke the usual way, not showing a lot of excitement and just wanting to get this over with. He then turned to the Green Mantis and looked down. Charles raised an eyebrow in surprise on who it was. "Oh, it's you." Once again not speaking with a lot of excitement, but he wasn't expecting end up working with that one Green Mantis he met some time ago at the Aristaeus’ Basin. This was a surprise to him.
"I don't need a partner just ta handle a bunch of squirrels!" Fuu fussed at the vendor who appeared a bit puzzled and taken off guard by the teen's sudden outburst. "Again, you have no idea what you're up against. Magic Knight or not, those little freaks will tear your apart." The merchant added before looking around in a paranoid fashion again. "Al-also keep your voice down....They might hear you." Fuu's eyebrows lowered in response before closing her eyes. "Oh right. I'm so sorry." The guy then sighed at the girl's apology, but then he immediately went back on edge as the dwarf suddenly yelled out, "WOULDN'T WANT NO STUPID SQUIRRELS GETTING OFFENDED NOW WOULD WE!?!" The girl then started to laugh, not noticing the large silver colored owl that was landing nearby.
The nut merchant watched as this owl landed while Fuu continued to laugh. Another Magic Knight had come off of the magically formed creature and was making his way towards the two. Part of the merchant was relieved that the second help has arrived, but another part of him was hoping that he wasn't as...extreme as the dwarf in front of him.
Once he arrived, the other knight spoke, causing Fuu's laughter to slowly die down at the sound of the familiarly annoying voice. She'd then turn around and tilt her head up a bit, first looking at the Black Bull mantle then at the laid back face she wish didn't remember. "No, you're just in time in fact!" The merchant chimed in, not realizing the tension between the two...or rather Fuu's tension.
It took her a moment to realize, but she remembered very well who this person was. "As I was telling this...young lady, these squirrels are a menace! They have been destroying my supplies and scaring off my customers. They need to be stopped, which is why I've called you two her-" "WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO BE IN THE SAME TOWN AS ME, BULL!?!?" Fuu yelled, interrupting the merchant who jumped back a little in response. Even some others who were nearby were surprised by this outburst. "Of all the people, you chose this idiot!?" Fuu asked, pointing at the black bull knight while glaring at the merchant who had his arms held up in a surrender like fashion. "I-I didn't exactly pick anyone. It was you two that took up the jo-" "A huge pain in my ass, that's what you are, stupid!" Fuu interrupted yet again, looking at the bull while flailing her arms angrily. "What are you gonna do anyway, fall asleep on the damn squirrels? Bet they'll eat you alive, which is fine by me!" Fuu continued on with her rambling, pointing at the other knight accusingly before quickly turning her back to him with her arms crossed and a pout on her face. The merchant was completely silent, not sure what to make of any of this. Fuu was...an interesting person.
As this happened, a group of ten small furry looking creatures were lurking around nearby buildings with a larger one behind them. They all had their eyes fixed on the nut vendor with their tails swaying left to right. Chaos was on the horizon...

"Oh, good." He replied to the vendor. It took the Green Mantis a moment to realize who he was. The moment she realized who he was Charles was already prepared to get yelled for no reason. Previously meeting the dwarf in a place called Aristaeus’ basin. He already knew her personality enough to know how to properly respond to her 'attacks.' The black bull started to regret taking this mission. If he knew he was going to have to work with such a huge pain in the ass he would've stayed at the base. Anyway, it was too late, he was already there, but being with Fuu made him want to finish the mission even quicker. According to what the vendor was saying they were just squirrels to it will be something quick, hopefully. "Well, now that you are mention it. I might since, but then again I want to finish this quick. Especially since I'm going to work with you." He spoke with his usual way of saying things. Which is likely will piss off Fuu even more, he was already expecting that.
The squirrels started to make their move. As the squirrels approached the vendor, noise could be heard as they make their way. Charles was somewhat confused with the noises until the vendor said something. "Here they come!" The vendor started panicking from just hearing the squirrels. Their job was about to begin...
"Time to finish this quickly..." He looked at the direction where he heard the squirrels coming from. They were squirrels so they wouldn't be hard to take down. The only issue will be their small size will make it hard to hit them. The black bull had two AoE spells, one being more powerful than the other. Of course, he could use them, but he was too close to the vendor's shop. He didn't want to end up damaging his property so he had to be careful. He was in a town, he couldn't simply go around using his magic spells without being careful. Sure, his AoE lightning properties spell will be quite effective, but he knew it could also damage the surrounding area, more specifically the vendor's shop.
Charles walked away a few meters away from the vendor trying to keep his distance. A group of five squirrels ran towards where he was with the intention to attack him. His grimoire floated beside him, creating two silver swords that appeared in both of his hands. The squirrels started attacking the Black Bull who managed to block some of their attacks, but some squirrels managed to scratch him. He blocking as much as he could as he moved away from the vendor's location to avoid doing any damage as that happened. Once there was enough distance he will be going to electrocute the ground with his swords which should be enough to get rid of them.
What the black bull didn't know was that another group of squirrels was heading towards the vendor while he was distracted with the rest. It seems like someone else will have to deal with them...
Name of Spell: Silver Sword of Lightning Elemental Type: Silver with Lightning Oddity Rank & Spell Type: Intermediate | Attack Creation | AoE Range & Speed: 40 meters | 25 m/s | 20 meters Mana Cost: 20 | 10 Stats Effected: N/A Applicable Perks: Wounding Attack: Twice per thread if an attack spell deals damage to a target or their mana shield you can cause a wounded damage debuff to occur. This causes target to have -2 m/s and -3 in power, durability, and control. This last only a single post. Quick Shot: This perk allows a person's spells to naturally move 5 m/s faster than normal, this increases to 10 m/s at grand rank. Description: Charles creates a Silver Sword that appears above him. The sword deals intermediate damage and is capable of creating a temporary lightning field which lasts a few seconds inside an area of 20 meters. He can also create additional swords (20 control required per extra sword). If the user also desires he can also use the sword as a weapon instead of throwing it, but if the user wants to keep using he will use mana to sustain it.
Every word the black bull knight said was pissing Fuu off! First he had the audacity to step into the same town as her, and take the same job, but now he was getting snarky! The aggressive mantis was fuming and turned back to face the lazy bull. The earth mage grit her teeth in frustration and she balled her hands into fists. "Oh keep talkin buddy! By the end of this, these squirrels will be the least of your problem!" Fuu added as she started marching towards the bull with the intention of deviating from the mission just to knock him out of his shoes.
But then the squirrels attacked...
Pausing, Fuu noticed the first five rushing in and the immediately the black bull went in to close the distance. Fuu looked a bit dumbfounded. It was just five measly looking squirrels! They didn't look threatening at all which caused the earth girl to scoff. "Again, this is what your crying about?" the girl asked, turning to face the merchant who was currently cowering in fear. The dwarf shook her head then went back to looking at the bull knight who was currently getting attacked by those little devils. Fuu broke out into a fit of laughter at the other magic knight while pointing at him. "They're ACTUALLY gonna eat him alive!" the girl teased just as some nearby citizens started to run off from the violence. "Listen, if ya beg for help, I might be generous enough to help your sorry butt ou-" Before she could finish, Fuu would witness something incredible, causing her eyes to widen.
The boy had electrocuted those squirrels with ease, using twin swords made of his silver magic. There it was, he was using that odd magic of his again. Fuu was no longer laughing and placed one of her hands onto her cheek. "Wow..." was all that could come out her mouth, in a tone that was less aggressive and more captivated. It was as if her personality did a complete one-eighty. The merchant then peeked up from his vendor and looked at the Wilhem girl confusingly before shifting his attention to another group of five squirrels coming the vendor's way from another angle. "W-Watch out, they're coming!" the vendor yelled out, snapping Fuu out of her trance. "Staring!? Who said I was staring!?" Fuu randomly blurted out before turning around and taking notice of the small beasts. Unfortunately it was too late to react, and the squirrels have jumped on Fuu, causing her to fall on her rear as they bit and scratched her. As she struggled to get them off, Fuu's grimoire started to float beside her and it opened up to a certain page. Mana from the earth around Fuu began to gather around her and while this happened, the dwarf's grimoire flipped to yet another page. "Grrr..." Fuu's struggling has started to die down and without much of a warning, she jumped back to her feet and raised her arms in the air with enough force to send the squirrels that were on her flying!
Fuu was now surrounded in a brownish aura, boosting her strength as well as her endurance. "I dare any of you furballs to try that again!" she yelled out in a challenging yet annoyed tone. The squirrels seemed down for the count already....but there was one that remained. The squirrel's larger and much more intelligent leader who looked none too pleased with the two teens.
Description: With her grimoire flipped to the right page, Fuu begins to draw on the mana of the earth around her, merging it with her own mana to strengthen her body to be as tough as stone itself. With this active, Fuu is able to ignore the damage of a single spell or attack of Junior or lower rank per post as well as ignoring the extra effects of damaging spells in general (courtesy of her Tenacious Body perk) once every five posts. If the attacker has +20 power to Fuu's durability then it will only half the spell's rank in damage, but if they have +30 then she will not be able to ignore the spell at all. (Tenacious Body will remain in effect however.)
Name of Spell: Earth Magic: Wrath of Stone Elemental Type: Earth Rank & Spell Type: Junior - Physical Reinforcement Range & Speed: Self Mana Cost: 8 (Initial) - 3 (Sustain) Stats Effected: Physical Strength Applicable Perks: Tenacious Body/Mana Conservationist Description: With her grimoire flipped to the right page, Fuu begins to draw on the mana of the earth around her, merging it with her own mana to strengthen her physical attacks. With this active, Fuu's physical attacks are on par with junior spells and is able to ignore the extra effects of damaging spells (courtesy of her Tenacious Body perk once every five posts).

Charles kept blocking the incoming distance looking around the area every once in a while to make sure he was in the clear and they weren't any civilians nearby. This was harder than it seemed, the small size of the squirrels made it hard for him to do anything to properly hit them. Even if they were just squirrels if he underestimated them they could certainly win, which will also be embarrassing. He looked at the other at the vendor and noticed five other squirrels going for the vendor, but the Green Mantis was there. The black bull couldn't do anything even if he wanted to he already had his hands occupied with the current group of squirrels.
A minute passed, the male magic knight managed to make some distance between him the vendor, but his arms were scratched by the squirrels. They didn't hurt a lot but annoyed him. After noticing the distance between him and the vendor and making sure they weren't any buildings or civilians in the area. His plan was successful, it was finally time to finish this. "You little things... You're done." Without thinking about it twice Charles stabbed the ground with one of his swords electrocuting the squirrels that were attacking and surrounding him. The sparks of lightning frying the squirrels and killing them with ease.
The squirrels were now dead and laying on the floor. His silver swords disappeared and his grimoire stopped floating. He took a moment and looked at his arms, even though he didn't have any major injuries his arms were filled with scratches thanks to the squirrels. In moments like this, he wished he had healing magic, but this sadly wasn't the case. The black bull then looked over the vendor's shop fighting off another group of squirrels. He took notice of the bigger squirrel, for some reason it was just five squirrels who attacked him instead of ten. Was that squirrel like their leader? Squirrels weren't usually organized if they had this amount of organized it only meant they had a leader smart enough to do that.
Charles didn't decide to interrupt the Green Mantis. Knowing her she will probably get mad at him if he interrupted, plus he didn't want to keep on fighting so he was just going to watch for now. "She will probably get rid of them anytime soon." He said as he walked over where Fuu was fighting the squirrels. The magic knight then proceeded to knead his arms with hands. "It hurts." He spoke with a very tired voice, he was just waiting for Fuu to finish off the remaining squirrels so he could call this a day.

The five squirrels on Fuu's side were sent flying in different directions. The dwarf was definitely a rowdy one, fitting of her self proclaimed title. The merchant peeked once again from his vendor and first took notice of the ones the black bull knight fried with his magic then at the others that were thrown about by the earth mage. "Did you guys really..." The man was at a loss for words, causing Fuu to cross her arms with her trademark smug expression. "Told ya these squirrels weren't gonna be a problem." Fuu added. The merchant was smiling for a second, but it quickly shifted into a frown as he realized something.
"No, no, no..." The merchant looked around once more as if he were looking for something. "What is it now?" the dwarf groaned as the merchant grew scared again. "You guys didn't kill their king!?" the man said, slowly going back into hiding. "Their...what?" Fuu questioned, blinking a few times. Just as that happened, a larger squirrel had came out of hiding. It was chunkier compared to the others and about half the size of Fuu. The dwarf was once again trying to hold a laughter in of how not intimidating the thing looked.
"Pffft, this is their fearful leader?" the mantis knight walked up to the animal, crouching down until she was at eye level of it. "Looks like it gets tired by just taking a couple of steps." Fuu added, attempting to poke its furry belly, only for it to quickly turn around and smack her in the face with its tail. "Uff..!" The attack had enough force to stumble Fuu back onto her rear, but it did not hurt due to her reinforcement. "Alright buddy, you asked for it!" Fuu raged, getting back to her feet as she glared menacingly at the leading squirrel. "And if you try and jump in, I'll kill you too, Bull!" Fuu added, looking back at the other magic knight.
While the earth mage was distracted, the squirrel leader started to squeak, catching Fuu's attention as well as the attention of the five squirrels the dwarf sent flying. Unlike the black bull, Fuu didn't kill the squirrels on her end...
The five squirrels jumped out of the locations they previously landed at. They all looked pretty bruised, but still itching to fight. "Alright then...Let's get it." Fuu welcomed the challenge. She enjoyed a good brawl and this right here was going to be interesting.
As the squirrels charged, Fuu did the same, steamrolling through the weaker animals with ease. She picked up two by their tails and slammed them to the ground, and completely crushed the third one with her foot. The fourth one tried jumping at Fuu, but the dwarf caught it by the neck and chucked it hard over a building. The fifth squirrel after witnessing this tried to run away, but Fuu chased it down like a predator, managing to catch up to it by landing her foot on its tail. She then threw it into the air and just as it was coming back down at the right moment, Fuu headbutt the poor animal, making it land hard onto the ground with enough force to leave a little crack. Now, the squirrels were dead.
Which only left the head honcho...
The leading squirrel felt a bit intimidated at first, but after witnessing the bodies of his comrades, the king squirrel was filled with determination to avenge his fallen subjects! The king squirrel charge at Fuu who wasn't expecting it due to her being too busy patting herself on the back. "Ah yeah! Who's the baddest? I'm the baddes-Ack!" the squirrel had collided head first into the girl's stomach. Her physical reinforcement wasn't still all that great so Fuu felt the attack this time. The girl was now lying on her back with the squirrel leader on her stomach, preparing to attack again. The noble looked back at the other magic knight as this happened. She refused to say anything, but her eyes were telling enough that she needed help.

After finishing off the five squirrels without an issue he walked over to see how Fuu was doing to his surprise it seemed only the leader was remaining. Which didn't seem like an issue, after all, a noble wouldn't have trouble taking down a single squirrel, no? She managed to get rid of the rest. "The only issue was their size... I assume that's what gave you trouble? He spoke to the vendor as he stretched his arms that were still itching from the scratches caused by the squirrels. Once again Charles didn't feel slightly threatened by her words, but it will be much better if she didn't say anything at all.
Suddenly Charles noticed that the other five squirrels that he thought Fuu had gotten rid of came back, injured but with the ability to fight. "Wiping them when I had the chance to was the right call then." The black bull muttered to himself, if he didn't do it when he initially had the chance then it was likely he would've faced the same issues as the dwarf had with. He witnessed how the green mantis brutally destroyed the squirrels with her brute force thanks to her physical reinforcement magic. Charles personally preferred to finish things quickly so he could go back to slacking off as soon as possible, but this wasn't the case for Fuu who was taking her time beating up a bunch of squirrels. Now there was only one squirrel remaining, their leader. It was just a bigger squirrel who had a higher amount of intelligence to the other squirrels it seemed, but overall it was a bigger target so it will be easier to hit, no? The leader of the squirrels got scared, but then got filled with determination to avenge their comrades. The squirrel decided to attack Fuu while she was bragging about her strength despite beating up just a bunch of squirrels. The black bull then saw how the squirrel's head collided with the green mantis's stomach. That could be painful, but it also depended on how strong her physical reinforcement was. Since that could be the equivalent of being punched in the stomach which is likely to kick all the air out of your body.
Charles kept looking at Fuu who remained there for a few seconds, she wasn't doing anything until she looked back at him. He was able to tell in an instant that she needed help. This almost made him laugh, who will expect a noble will ask a commoner for help? Charles covered his mouth trying to contain himself, this will hurt her pride for sure hence why she didn't bother to say anything. The black bull was already expecting her to yell at him for interrupting despite her facial expression showing the opposite. He took a few steps forward, his grimoire floating beside him and changing pages. The silver mage raised his hand and pointed at the squirrel. He stopped trying to laugh, as this was also wasting more of his time and was starting to think that he would've finished this quicker on his own instead. As he raised his arm pointing at the squirrel a silver string appeared from his hand towards the direction of the squirrel which tangled around its small body electrocuting it, but it wasn't enough to get rid of it. This forced the squirrel to stop attacking the dwarf and making it easy for her to finish it off.
As the squirrel dropped to the floor weakened by restraints. The black bull sighed and looked over the green mantis."Seeing a noble ask for help is fun and all, but... I'm kind of getting tired and I wanna go home already." He took a few steps back from Fuu covering his mouth as he was trying to not to laugh, the fact that a noble that said she was going to kick his ass and now was asking that very same person for help made him want to burst out laughing.
Name of Spell: Silver String Binding Elemental Type: Silver with Lightning Elemental Oddity Rank & Spell Type: Intermediate | Restraining Range & Speed: 40 meters | 25 m/s Mana Cost: 20 | 10 Stats Effected: -5 m/s Speed debuff Applicable Perks: Sapping Bonds: You’ll drain away 10 mana from each those bond by your restraining spells and restore your own mana for half this value. This can only be applied once per target no matter how many bonds are on them. Quick Shot: This perk allows a person's spells to naturally move 5 m/s faster than normal, this increases to 10 m/s at grand rank. Description: Charles creates a thick silver string where he points his index and middle finger at the legs of the opponent. Sending the silver string towards the enemy, tangling and electrocuting his legs. This debuffs the speed of the enemy by 5 m/s.
"Er, when you put it like that..." the merchant said, referring to the silver mage's question. He looked at the damage both Magic Knights did to these squirrels, ceasing their aggression with ease. Maybe they were just a bunch of normal squirrels after all?
Fuu couldn't believe what was happening right now however. She was losing...to a freaking squirrel! What made it more humiliating was that the black bull mage was able to witness all of this! Even though she didn't want to admit it, Fuu needed that boy's help.
The squirrel leader was just about to strike Fuu again until it was suddenly bound by silver strings. Taking notice of this, Fuu quickly pushed the large animal off of her before it got shocked. The dwarf was now in the middle of getting back up just as her savior took a jab that rubbed the noble the wrong way. "I-I never asked for your help!" Fuu growled a bit while she was on all fours. She'd then pick up a nut that was on the ground and attempt to throw it at the silver mage's face. Whether it hit or not, Fuu would get back on her feet fully. "Stupid bull! You must be imagining things. All you did was get in my way. I had this under control!" the dwarf claimed, mostly lying to herself. Fuu almost never asks for help, being as stubborn as she is even when the odds are against her. Still it does not stop her subconscious from doing so in her place, just as how she had that pleading expression back then.
"Um..hello?" the merchant once again peeked from his vendor, furthering Fuu's annoyance. "What!?" the dwarf yelled at the poor vendor, causing him to nearly hide again. "Th-that one is still alive." he hesitantly pointed at the boss squirrel, twitching in the bull knight's restraining magic. Fuu was now looking at the trapped squirrel, a mischievous grin developing on her face as she took a step towards the poor creature. With her grimoire flipping to another page, the teen stomped one of her bare feet forward with her arms crossed. As this happened, the stone ground underneath the squirrel started to glow then suddenly the stone emerged from the ground like a pillar, reaching up high as well as sending that squirrel flying! Fuu then chased after it and before it could even hit the ground, the girl clasped her hands together and used them to slam the boss squirrel hard onto the ground, effectively killing it.
Fuu now had her hands on her hips, holding her head up high with that cheeky look of hers again. "As I said, these squirrels weren't nothin." Fuu added while looking at the merchant who seemed both happy for the end of those troublesome critters but also a bit scared of Fuu's rowdiness. "Right...You both did a fine job! I'll be sure to let your squads know. Nuts for everyone!" the main said, yelling the last part with his arms in the air and expecting others to join in on the cheering...but the civilians just kept on walking. Fuu was trying to contain a laughter of her own, then she looked over at the bull with a bit more annoyance, but then her face loosened up some. "You...you...weren't that ba-" the dwarf immediately paused before shaking her head. "You try and save me again, and I'll kill you! Yeah, I'd rather die than to be saved by someone like you!" Fuu said, getting all cocky again as she pointed at the bull accusingly. "I'm Fuu freaking Wilhelm and I don't need no protection. Remember that!" With that and a huff, Fuu turned her back on the black bull and nut merchant then started to march off...but not without smiling softly to herself.
With her grimoire flipped to the desired page, Fuu stomps her foot onto a solid surface while crossing her arms together, causing a pillar of of stone that is five feet in width to shoot up from the ground up to ten feet high within a twenty-five meter radius around her. If the target is struck with this, it will inflict blunt junior ranked damage as well as potentially send them flying two meters back (an additional 5 meters added every ten power gained) unless it rams them into a surface. Fuu is capable of forming an additional pillar per ten control gained.

The green mantis didn't have an issue after Charles restrained the leader of the squirrels with his magic. In fact, he was in time as he restrained the squirrel just before it was about to attack him again. Expecting Fuu to react in such an aggressive way despite begging for his help a few seconds ago "Just finish this so I go home, alright?" He was starting to get tired from hearing the dwarf complain and just wanted to get this over with once and for all. A moment later he saw a nut get thrown towards his direction which he blocked with his right arm. "What a pain in the ass..." The most annoying person the black bull knew so far was a noble by the name of Fuu Wilhelm. He already found nobles annoying, but her? She was on another level, mainly because this was his second encounter and had to work with someone like her.
He just stood there tapping his foot on the ground and waiting. Then he saw how Fuu finally finished off the squirrel sending it flying away with a stone that emerged below the squirrel it was a nice way to finish it off, to say the least. It would've been nice if she did that at the start and maybe he wouldn't have wasted this much time on trying to get rid of a bunch of squirrels. Charles then heard how she was about to praise him for a moment, he was sure about it, but then she immediately changed what she was about to say. "Hmm? What did you say? I'm pretty sure you were about to say something else? He spoke in a very tired and lazy tone, trying to make himself look dumb when she was about to thank him for helping him out. Then she threatened him again, despite the last saying she was going to kill him if he saw him in town. "Whatever you say noble." He yawned once again as soon as Fuu walked off and looked over the merchant. "Well, I'm done here. Time to head out." The black bull walked off a bit after the green mantis. Already wanting to get back to the Headquarters so he could get those scratched patched up.
And so he walked off, he knew he was going to get his payment and stars eventually. This was just a good way to get some money while not getting yelled at for slacking off too much at the base. His magical skills have increased alongside with his experience as a Magic Knight despite his own lazy attitude. Improvement was yet to come, only time will tell if the lazy black bull will get to know more about his own abilities and put them into good use. He still had a long way to go, but he was improving.
