The Princess and The Devil - Karma Akabane x OC

S I X T Y - S E V E N : THE QUEEN

Normal's POV

From the get go, Akahana never relents in speed and strength as she pushes the students into a bad position in the first 30 seconds. Akahana's asparagus green eyes shine in excitement when she takes out her knives that she hides within the straps she wears on her thighs and the first knife she threw grazes Hime's face as she tilts her head a little, chuckling. "you need to be faster than that or it'll hit your head, next time."

Hime stays still as she watches how Akahana twirls her knives with her fingers while the queen licks her blood red lips. "It's been a while since I get high on blood lust. Promise you'll entertain me till the end, 'kay?" Akahana once again throws her knives but this time, Hime managed to dodge it as she kicks it away from her direction. "It goes the same for you, too, blue-haired boy-chan." Nagisa charges in towards the queen with a knife in hand the same way he had done in his training. He has done it so many times that his msucles just move to memory without him thinking too much about it. And as usual,

He was sure he hid his bloodlust.

"That's a pretty impressive skill you have there, boy. Shira-nee used to be able to hide her blood lust, too. Sadly, it doesnt work on me precisely because of that. She used to give me a hard time during training"Akahana smiles innocently as Nagisa pales. "So, I perfected my sense of feeling instead. Pretty cool, right?" He couldn't win against her. Even her wavelength is calm.

"Nagisa-kun, duck!" Hime shouts and Takebayashi took the opportunity to shoot a firework at Akahana. It was this time that Hime jumps in to fight Akahana. Hime's body is light and she has always been in the more agile side before sneaking an attack. She stealthily takes out 2 anti sensei knives from her suit, spins in midair as she slashes Akahana's hands. Since the knife is made from rubber, the abrasion is superficial. It barely did anythign at all. The queen grabs the princess by her neck with the same hand she had attempted to injure just to goad her.

"If you come to me with toys as a weapon, you'll die, Hime." She tightens her grip around the princess's neck as the girl desperately tries to tries to set herself free from the queen's grasp but her efforts were deem futile."It goes the same to you, too." Akahana easily kicks Nagisa and Takebayashi to the ground. "If you don't fight me for real, you'll really die, Hime." Akahana said, dropping her step daughter to ground as she steps onto her abdomen. "Is it okay?" Hime lets out an ear splitting scream as her wound reopens. It hurts. She couldn't breathe.

Nagisa detects a slight change in Akahana's wavelength and pounced to the opportunity to attack her with the gift that was bestowed upon him as an assassin. The queen passes out for a second as Nagisa and Takebayahsi both scramble to their feet to help Hime get away but alas, there is only so much damage a steel can do to a diamond. They barely even move when the queen wakes up laughing despite what she's feeling is far from being amused for she makes a silent oath to kill Nagisa. He is a pest. When she throws the knife his way, Hime had knocked him out of the way and once again kicks the knife the opposite side.

"Sorry, Hime-chan!" He was quick to apologise when Hime blinks away the tears in her eyes as she tries to keep her breathing in check. Nagisa is beginning to get scared. The queen is definitely different from the assassins he has met thus far. She is nowhere near their level and he couldn't let Hime fight. She isnt in the shape to and Nagisa had no choice. "Chiba-kun, Hayami-san, I'm counting on you." Nagisa said into the microphone and he runs straight forth with Takebayashi supporting him.

The black haired boy throws a smoke bomb in front of Akahana and she stays put in her position as she waits to be entertained by the blue haired boy jumping towards her when the smoke disappears. But all she sees is her step daughter, still on the ground, while keeping a firm hand on her abdomen. 'Where is he?' In a second, she feels Nagisa's presence behind her but it was too late to react. He, just like her step daughter lacks physical strength and there is only so much he can do. When Nagisa tried to overpower her, she thought she could just kick him in the gut and punch him across his jaw to knock him out for a few seconds before finishing him off. But what catches her off guard is the bloodlust of two different students far away from where they are.
