Void and Time

Chapter 3

*grunts*

A man tied to a chair muffled in pain. The thugs laughing at him continues to whip the man tied to a chair.

"Oi oi! Let me in on the fun as well!" A thug shouted. The girl only stayed in a corner watching the thugs take turns on torturing the young man.

*clap* *clap* *clap*

The thugs who immediately stopped what they were doing looked at the stairs where the noise was coming. A man descended smirking whilst wearing a mask, covering the half of his face. A symbol of laplace.

It is known to everyone that who so ever sees the face of a laplace member shall not live to tell the tales. The young man tied to the chair suddenly laughed.

"You're late." He said. The thugs stared in horror at the young man. Those words branded on their mind. Laplace.

They immediately stood up and picked up their weapons, however, even if some of them awakened with abilities, none of them are willed to fight.

"Lu-lumiere!" The leader of the thugs shouted. "Protect us you useless bitch!" The silver haired girl stood straight from the corner and went in between the man and the thugs. Unsheathing her sword, she assumed position ready to defend.

"Hooo~ I see, you're under a spell huh. Heh. This will be an easy task then." The man smirked, being in laplace who have the greatest knowledge when it comes to magic, he knows that a person who's being manipulated have their skills reduced by 90% meaning that simply just standing would take a great toll on her body.

The man unsheathed his sword, a black aura covered the blade. The girl charged with great speed, the man surprised by her movements barely blocked her sword aimed for his neck. Baffled he focused on the fight.

'How is this possible, how can you fight whilst in this state' The man continues on blocking. The thugs at the back of the room run towards the exit, not caring wether the girl dies or not.

"Hehe, how convenient to have that bitch around. We won't have to worry about anything at all." One of the thugs said. The leader who ordered the girl is uneasy, if that girl dies then it's all over. They will be killed if they ever venture outside as where they're currently at is infested with monsters.

Meanwhile at the building, the two individuals continues to fight. The breathing of the man started growing heavy trying to evade the girls fast attacks. The girl barely fazed at all continues to deliver blow after blow. His sword continues the clash against hers until a wrong footing cause him to react a bit slower. The man closed his eyes ready for his demise until...

"Lumiere!!!!" A voice shouted from the outside. The girl stopped, her sword merely a few milimeters away from his neck. She slowly turned her head towards the entrance and immediately disappeared.

The man not believing that a girl almost killed him finally gave in. His breathing heavy, his arms weakened by her blows. He sighed and stood once more, he slowly walk towards his the young man sitting on the chair.

"Young master, this subordinate have failed in his task, forgive me." The man said.

The young man smirked, "That is fine, I was able to study her movements thanks to you. Now, untie me." The man freed his young masters hands.

"Let's go." The young master said. "I'll deal with her my own.", "Yes young master."
