A World I Don't Belong In (Genshin Impact x Female Reader)

Chapter 33: Tenryou Commission Headquarters part 1

Summery~ Aether gave you a new sword on your nice morning run into Inazuma City. Aether convinces Kujou that you have been apart of the investigation this whole time, so she lets you tag along...

We approach a massive building, the Tenryou Commission Headquarters. A few guards stare as we awkwardly walk past. Trying not to look them in the eye and avoid suspicion. I hold my head high and forwards, only paying attention to what's in front of me.

Luckily the bluff worked as we push open the over towering doors. Before I even get a look inside a guard interrupts, "Apologies Ma'am, orders from the top. No one is allowed to enter!"

It was clear that the guard had only seen Kujou Sara, as he quickly corrected himself, "Apologies, but you all need to leave."

I can see Kujou Sara's fists clench, "Out of my way! I need to speak to him. I won't tell you twice!"

I stare in disbelief as I see four guards prepare their weapons. No doubt more are to come. I sigh loudly. One for everyone I guess, however Paimon won't do anything... because she does nothing in fights but sit in the stands, cheering, and being emotional support.

Kujou Sara grabs out her bow and arrows, Aether prepares his sword and I grab mine. Aether and I exchange a small head nod indicating that the guy on the right is mine, the rest he will take care of.

I hear the sound of Kujou's arrow fly, signifying the beginning of battle. The guard I was about to run at, charges at me. Not realising which sword, I grabbed, it was the samurai blade. Oh well, luck made me pick it!

The guard thrusted his polearm right at my gut. Luckily I was able to block on the outside, clutching my sword in my right hand and holding the pole arm from sweeping at me. This naturally left my left hand empty. Infusing it with anemo I deliver a punch to lower right rib cage sending the guard tumbling back a few feet. He fell on his back and dropped his polearm grasping his side.

Hehe... did I overdo it? I feel a slight breeze behind me, so I spin around fast, and another guard was about to swing his polearm at me from above. I catch the polearm blade above my head using my sword, but this left me out of a range where I couldn't attack him. His overpowering strength led me to use my left hand as support. I gritted my teeth as I heard the guard behind me get up. I look around for a sign of hope, but more guards had appeared about ten of them. Both Aether and Kujou Sara where busy with them. No! Aether entrusted me to take care of myself, if I can't even defeat a few guards what help am I going to be?

My left hand grabs my new sword and I swing it hard and fast at the wood of the polearm. It's a clean cut and the spear head hits the floor. Hearing the first guard quickly approach behind me, as I spin, I pull back my right arm and launch my sword at him. Faster than the blink of an eye the sword was in the first guard's shoulder, and he was pinned against the wall. Unconsciously the sword was embedded with anemo, adding much more force into the throw.

I turn back around, switching my new sword to my right hand. I grab what was left of the polearm to hold the second guard in his place as I attack. But he let go of the other end. I stand there stumped for a moment before hitting him in the head with the end of his own polearm. Stupid, even if it doesn't have a blade anymore, a pole is better than nothing.

I watch as he hits the floor unconscious. I stand proud and take in my accomplishment. I did all of this without a scratch!

My excitement ends when an arrow flies past my head.

"HEY!! Watch where you shoot those arrows Kujou Sara!" I loudly complain directing my voice at her. She seems so focused on battle that she barely heard what I said.

"Well, don't stand where I fire them," she replies in a cool tone. I clutch my fists and grit my teeth, then throw the headless spear at an approaching guard. The rage gave me energy, energy to run wild.

I launch myself using anemo towards the approaching guard. An evil grin appears on my face as I swing my sword down at this new guard. He blocks it barely and is pushed a few feet back. A few more guards join in. Making this a 4 vs 1. I remember something that I am still yet to try in battle, lengthening my sword with anemo!

This increases my range, making this battle just a little fairer. Gripping my sword tight in my hand, the new length is almost the same as a polearm. Any longer and the shape becomes hard to maintain. A few of the guards freeze as the sweet pours from their face, unsure of an opponent who is a bit de-railed at the moment.

To bring strength to his comrades one of the guard's staggers forwards and charges. He jabs the polearm right at me, but I duck underneath, and slice the bottom of his wielding arm. His arm flops and I grab the polearm as it drops. The guard crouches on the ground while trying to prevent the blood from escaping the wound on his upper arm. I stand up quickly, this time throwing the newly obtained polearm at another guard, hitting in the target place the shoulder. The embedded anemo creating enough force to lodge yet another person in the wall.

After all my goal wasn't to kill these people, I wasn't aiming for their vital points while still inflicting enough damage to decommission them from the fight. The two guards left somehow mustered up the courage to charge together.

One of them swung from above, while the other from the side. A small sweat drop escaped the hold of the skin of my face and hit my hand. Unsure of my next move, I decide to take the side sweeper.

I dodge the pathetic attempt at a swing then get in close enough to kick the sweeper onto the other one. They both tumble to the floor with the help of anemo. Before they can get up, I use my sword sheath to knock them out. Those last two really didn't try very hard...

I decide before I get into the next fight I should go a retrieve my original sword, since it is still lodged into a guard's shoulder. Luckily the guy had passed out so there was no fight back when I retrieved it. I hold both swords up and feel a moment of proudness. I see a small dash on the reflection on my sword. Before I am able to turn around, I hear Aether scream my name.

Once again I am so sorry I haven't posted sooner, life has been demanding. I'll try to get back to at least one post a month, sorry.
