...Damn! Her [END] must be even more higher than the Zombie Dragon that I fought a few days ago and I can tell that her [STR] and [AGI] are higher than mine as well, as evidenced from the fact that she was able to sneak up at me while I have [Awareness] and [Vongola Hyper Intuition] on to destroying the ground below her with a single punch.

"Who are you, and why did you attacked Kōjiro-kun?" I heard Kiba demanded as I noticed that she already had her sword in hand but she's not the only person in a offensive stance, as Tōjō looked ready to fight at any given moment. While Gremory and Himejima-san didn't went into a battle position, its obvious that they're ready for anything that Leone will do.

"I'm Leone, and the reason why I attacked him is because I'm testing him out!" Leone answered with a cheerful smile "I felt a strong presence enter the Familiar Forest and it got me all excited so I tracked down the source here!"

Then she turned towards me with a battle hunger smirk on her face "And it seems you're the guy that's releasing that attractive aura! So fight me, and I'm not going to take no as an answer!" She declared before charging at me at a very fast rate. I simple charged at her as well and when she was about to punch me again, I simply countered it with a [Lightning Flame] enhanced [Renewal Front Kick].

[-20HP]

A powerful shockwave was created from the collision of our attack, and I still took some damage despite the fact that I infused my strike with [Lightning Flames]... The [Hardening] characteristic should had minimised the damage to 9 or something less than I took.

I instantly used [Rapid Movement] back to evade Leone's claw attack and to appear above her before performing [Sky Kick] down at her, but my attack was simply blocked her left arm and she took a hold of my leg before gripped it tightly.

[-10HP]

FUCK!!!

I quickly struck Leone with a [Lightning Flame] enhanced [Gor Yo], forcing her to let go of my leg. I jumped back a little and checked out my injuries to see blood flowing out from the holes on my left leg. Ignoring the pain for now, I charged towards Leone and used [Baekdu] to send her flying into the air. [-8HP]... It felt like I used my knee strike a boulder-

!?

I instinctively rolled to the side to evade a claw strike at me before getting back on my feet... Only to see that Leone to be right in front of me with her fist a few inches away, I'm not fast enough to dodge it *smack!*

[-100HP]

I felt my body fly into the air from the force of her attack, and it hurts like a bitch is all I can say. Righting myself in the air before using 'hard' [Sky Flames] to rocket myself towards Leone. When I'm near her to attack her, I struck back with [Jin Tae-Jin Original, Sonic Kick].

[-8HP]

[BOOOOOMMMM!!!]

[Jin Tae-Jin Original, Sonic Kick] is an attack that breaks the sound barrier, so it's only natural for a sonic boom to happen while damaging the surrounding area as well. My attack sent Leone digging across the ground before she crashed against a tree, breaking it with her body.

When I landed on the ground, I used [Sun Flames] to accelerate my healing factor. I felt my wounds closing up while my hair and nails grew longer in the process as well. I felt refreshed from using [Sun Flames] like any other time I used it on myself.

"[Sun Flames]..." I heard Gremory muttered to herself like a fan girl trying to suppress herself from squealing out loud, making me turn towards her with a raise eyebrow before remembering a little fact. Ah yeah she's an otaku like me.

[HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!] The sound of laughter brought me back to the situation in hand, looking at the direction where I sent Leone earlier to see her standing on her 2 feet while blood was dripping out from her mouth. I noticed that her arms are in odd angles, showing that my attack broke them "That was a really fun fight!"

I simply nodded back and I have to admit it, I had fun as well. I never fought against someone who can match me in speed and damage me enough to nearly drain half of my [HP], as most of my opponents are either too slow or too weak or too stupid to be an actual threat against me.

"Say, would you want me to be your familiar?" I was taken back from Leone question, not expecting her to actually suggest that.

"Only if you want to be my familiar." I replied while placing my hands on my pocket "I won't force you, if you don't want to."

I saw a smile appear on Leone's face, like she's happy to hear my response, before nodding in response. I smiled before walking over to Leone's spot while looking at her arms "Now, let's fix you up."

- a few minutes later -

After repositioning Leone's arms back into place, I used the [Sun Flames] to accelerate her healing. It only took a matter of seconds for her bones to reunite together and undo the damage that I've dealt to her internal organ.

Gremory told me on what I have to do. Once the ritual preparation is completed, I finished rest of the familiar-binding spell Gremory instructed me to cast. I had opened a light-blue colored magic circle in front of everybody.

"In my name, Raiga Kōjiro, I ask of you!" I spoke with confidence "You shall become my familiar and respond to my contract!"

The light poured out all around Leone before eventually fading away. I could feel the powerful new bond that had formed between us.

*ding!*

I mentally closed the pop-up window after I was finished reading the list before looking back to the others, who had been watching the ritual with interest "Well? Don't we still have another familiar to find?"
