⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Nani. . . ?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Do you want me to repeat what I just said?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The purple haired woman roughed her voice when she said the question. She had blocked the incoming spell that was about to take out lives with her sword, then tilting her head up. Her eyes shined upwards, being extremely focused on the problem as she gripped her sword even tighter.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀In ahead of time, she narrowed her eyebrows with a strict glare at the wicked man, layering her shot. She jumped up in another direction as fast as she can in a split second, using her magic to support her as she blasted the man in no ordinary motion.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Kagura hit the man with her unleashed sword, making him stumble and lose a quarter of his magic energy. She'd hit him now however, she stopped and left a strict, firm repetition. "Your worst nightmare is about to happen."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The whole Fernandes family kept their eyes wide, right after Kagura had protected them with her hit. Jellal, Jeraline and Eric were quivering, mainly because they didn't believe such person like her could ever exist. However, Erza remained calm with that cut, since she knows why she's that strong.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Is that — that's how powerful she is?" Jellal asked, still keeping his hands around his family. He did never knew about Kagura's actual strength, so it was partially reasonable why he was so surprised. Jeraline and Eric also needed no further explanations.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Erza nodded from her husband's question. "Yes," she answered, continuing to watch her friend's attacks. "I told you, she may be younger but she has no common stability." Erza suddenly stopped, when her name had just been called out.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Nee-san, don't tell me your just going to sit there and wait for you and your family's lives to be at risk again," Kagura alarmed while fighting, "Fighting or dying may be the only options right now."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Erza gasped, then Jellal did. They both looked at each other and then their children, who stared at them and nodded carefully. Erza bit her lip, as both of them broke the hug down, standing up and now looking at the enemy.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Dear Mavis," Erza mumbled calmly, while her magic energy came right back at her. She didn't appear to show any further expression on her face, and then looking at Jellal. "Yukō, Jellal."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She stopped in alarm when her husband grabbed her wrist, looking at her with eyes that were in vain. "Jeraline and Eric —" Jellal was interfered by Erza who smiled with courage. She narrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the purple haired mage, still waiting as she continued to keep her eyes at Landis.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I have a feeling Kagura will do that part," Erza interrupted him, acting all fragile however, she isn't actually a huge lack of spine. "She might leave Landis to us." In her heart, Erza wasn't actually prepared to leave her children, not the fact that she hates Kagura, but the fact that she doesn't want to leave her children.
