Dear Mocha

第85章

Akiko shot wind in small portions at Hunter, who was pushed back each time he tried landing a hit at her. He jumped forward, punching the girl as she dodged and counterattacked, while Yukimura clashed with Pato. 

Hunter kicked Akiko in the gut, sending her back, as she stumbled and fell backwards. Hunter ran up to using his fire to burn her skin, before she kicked the air and sent him backwards aggressively, as he hit into Yukimura. 

Pato took this chance and slammed his hands on the ground as the ice sprouted from under them, sending them both in the air. Akiko watched silently and so did Pato, but Yukimura used his wind to stable them, before throwing Hunter at Akiko.

Hunter created a fire arrow using his hands, and shot it at Akiko, who barely dodged and burned her skin in the process, she shrieked, while giving Hunter a death glare, as he steadied in a fighting position to continue. 

"What's it to you anyway?!" She yelled, as Hunter tilted his head. "You kidnapped my friend, and my friend's friend," He explained. Akiko grinned, as she leaped back to prepare and use a strong wind element move against him. 

"So that weakling of a teenager, Kyo, is your friend? How astonishing," She laughed, as Hunter's eyes were slightly widened, and his brows perked up. The way she spoke about it like that, it made him annoyed, but then again, she knew Kyo. 

"We're not friends." He answered harshly, punching the air multiple times to send fire shots at her, as Akiko dodged swiftly, regaining her balance as she fixed some of the strands which were obscuring her eyesight. 

"I see, I'm not surprised, she's a loser, who'd even like her to begin with?" She chuckled, as he grit his teeth, even though he didn't want anything to do with Kyo after the fact he learned she'll be trying her best to get rid of his only family, he still didn't like it.

He didn't like the fact she spoke so badly about her, and for some reason, with every hurtful word she spat, the urge to beat her up grew. He concluded he must've found her pretty annoying, that's possibly why. 

Pato hardened his arms using his own element to block Yukimura's incoming wind attack, before using it to punch Yukimura in his abdomen, causing the guy to groan in pain, before being shot off using the ice spikes from the ground. 

Not so fast!

Yukimura used the wind to shoot himself down at Pato, creating some sort of wind-like tornado at him. He twisted his body to the side, before taking a full turn midair and shooting the strong wind at him. The wind took the form of a tornado, and it swept Pato in.

The male struggled to break free before the tornado was broken apart by Yukimura, and he proceeded to use his legs to kick wind his direction, before landing on the ground, and stumbling to keep his balance.

Pato was thrown to the nearest lamppost, catching Kien off-guard, who received a punch in the face by Masahiro. He then turned to Roku and their fists met as they shared punches at one another. Masahiro shifted his right leg and hit it against the floor.

The earth moved and rose up at where Roku was, but he got used to that, so he prepared to use it to his advantage, as soon as Masahiro was about to move it in a direction to make him vulnerable, Roku turned his fists into fire and slammed his hands down at Masahiro.

The male easily dodged, before got captured by Kien, who wrapped his sluggish arms around his throat. Masahiro tried breaking free, but the arms were fairly liquid, which proved difficult, and Roku charged a full punch in his stomach, leaving him in pain. 

Masahiro quietly stood there, as he made them believe they won, while in reality, he was waiting for them to lower their guard so he can beat them both at once. Roku turned to see Yukimura and Pato fighting, and Akiko fighting Hunter. 

Hunter prepared his arms to continue fighting, before Akiko kicked the air multiple times, sending multiple surges of wind at Hunter, who was knocked back again. He panted in his fallen position, groaning. 

She has a big advantage; I can't even reach her! 

Before Hunter could act though, he was frozen in place by Pato, before he himself got knocked onto the ground brutally, by Yukimura. He saw how bad the situation escelated, seeing both of his friends trapped by the enemy. 

Hunter panicked, turning his head to Yukimura, who was slightly shaking, with his fists ready to try and take on all four people. Akiko grinned, leaning onto the ice Hunter is trapped in, watching Roku and Pato near him. 

"Yuki! RUN OFF!" Hunter yelled breathlessly, but the boy didn't budge. "You won't be able to deal with them, run off! Fast! Authorities should come soon!" He said helplessly, as Yukimura stayed put, a firm expression on his face.

"No... I'm sorry... But what type of Guardian would I ever want to be if I can't save my friends from a bunch of thugs?" He answered, as he awaited their next movements. He had no plan or idea how he'll take them on. 

Just as Roku was about to attack, he was trapped in the ground by multiple rock-like structures, while Kien was knocked on the ground, face extremely beat up. Masahiro put a hand on his shoulder as he swung his arm. 

Shocked, both Akiko and Pato prepared to take him on, before Masahiro turned to Yukimura, who was surprised himself. "Go ahead and look for Kyo and Mocha. We'll square em up for you." He said, pointing at him and Hunter. 

"If the authorities find out you're fighting, you'd be in big trouble for using your element illegally." Masahiro informed Yukimura, who let down his guard by a bit. "But... you two are also students?" He said, tilting his head. 

"During our first year, in our final semester, we managed to do a temporary license exam! It allows students to fight in cases where no guardians are present, so we're legally allowed to fight! But you... you don't have one!" Hunter exclaimed.

And with that, Yukimura turned on his heel and rushed out of the scene, trying to find any clues on where either of the girls would be. Masahiro turned to Pato and Akiko, a smirk curving on his lips as he seemed to get a bit more serious. 

"Who's first?"
