(3rd person's pov) :

Two forces were engaged in a gunfight. They are the Mimic soldiers, dressed in grey rags and the other forces includes the Port-Mafia's operatives in black suits and sunglasses. Both parties were shooting with automatic pistols of foreign manufacture. Bullets fly haphazardly across the square, chalk pillars, flying in all four directions of the Art Museum's courtyard.

The Mafia has four members left while the Mimic has nine; in terms of quality, numbers and experience, Mimic had the advantage. They shot the Mafia's operatives killing two of them and before they could shot the other two, a familiar sharp reddish-black blade impaled the soldiers instantly killing them.

Auktagawa walks in with a impassive face, hands in his pockets as he stared at the rest of the Mimic soldiers who quickly shot bullets at him.

The soldiers halts their firing as they stare in shock as Auktagawa's defence activated shielding him from the shots of the bullets.

"Guns are the weapons of fools" Auktagawa spoke up calmly as he quickly used his Rashoumon to attack the Mimic soldiers who were trying to run away.

The Rashoumon instantly pierced the blade through the rest of the soldiers and Auktagawa scoffed at them, "Not even worth my time.."

"So you are the one they speak of.." A unfamiliar voice caught his attention as he glanced at the sides of someone coming down from the Museum's stairs.

"The gifted one in black.." The man said.

"Who are you?" Auktagawa questioned as the stranger jumped down the stairs taking off the hood of his cloak revealing his white hair.

"You may call me Gide, I am the Leader of the Mimic." The man answered.

"Both of them will never acknowledge me, not even her.. no matter how many underlings I defeat. So I would like to challenge you!" Auktagawa said as he stare at Gide standing a few feet away.

"First a question, the Ability you possess, is it sufficient to release our souls from our original sins?" Gide asked.

Instead of answering him, Auktagawa summons his Rashoumon, "Why don't you find out yourself~!?!?"

He yelled dangerously passing the black blades through the air past the sides of Gide's head.
The white haired male just swiftly dodges every one of his attack with ease.

"You are not getting away!!!" Auktagawa shouts hitting him again but Guide jumps up going back to the stairs of the Museum, avoiding the Rashoumon's blade.

"Nice try.." Auktagawa growled at the man who landed on the floor pulling out his two guns and he just continuously striked him with several countless blades of the unavoidale dangerous Rashoumon.

"It seems that you are not the one." Gide murmurs shooting every one of his blades with his guns. Those blades were not possible to dodge or evade but shockingly Gide countered the Rashoumon like a breeze using his two guns with ease.

Auktagawa had a look of disbelief, "No way!!! ..is this one of his abilities!?!?" He mumbles to himself and then he shouts at Gide in anger, "You bastard!!! Are you able to read what I will do next!?!?"

Gide didn't replied and in a second he moved from his current place jumping right infront of Auktagawa aiming at him with his two guns at a close range.

The loud bang of bullet shots were heard.

Luckily, Auktagawa activated his defensive barrier in time otherwise, the bullet would have gone straight to his head.
But unfortunately, he forgot that Gide had two guns in his hand, who smartly shot a bullet on Auktagawa outside his defensive barrier injuring his right leg.
