The flaming fist that was supposed to knock the life out of Yuna was met with empty space. Yuna who was supposed to be there suddebly disappeared.

"What!?" <Stronzo>

Shocked at what happened, he looked around to find her.

But she was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are you? Come out!" <Stronzo>

His shout was answered with silence.

"Tsk!" <Stronzo>

As he let his guard down thinking that nothing was gonna happen. But he was met with a powerful force.

"Urk!" <Stronzo>

Stronzo was sent flying.

Yuna who suddenly appeared behind him, gave him a thrust kick on his back.

Stronzo who felt the pain slowly stood up and began glaring at her.

"Grr..." <Stronzo>

"Heh! What's with that look? You really thought you can hit me?" <Yuna>

Yuna showed a condescending attitude towards Stronzo.

"You just got lucky. I won't miss the next time!" <Stronzo>

As he said that he did the same move.

However, the same thing happened.

Yuna just disappear and reappear.

Stronzo who was at the end of the beating had no idea how she was doing it.

Basically, all she did was erase her presence to the extreme. And just like that, Stronzo wasn't able to notice her. After that, all she had to do was cancel the skill and attack.

It sounds ridiculous, but it's Yuna's signature ability. Since she's a kunoichi, her skill sets revolve around stealth and sneak attack.

Against someone who relies on brute strength, she is a bad match up for Stronzo.

"How come? You're suppose to be weak! And yet, why can't I beat you!?" <Stronzo>

Stronzo was getting more and more agitated about not landing any hits. And even worse, the thought of losing to someone who should be weaker than him made his blood boil.

"I think you're mistaking something." <Yuna>

"What?" <Stronzo>

"Your arrogance and your mindset on thinking that nobody is stronger than you has always been your flaws. But the case now is not that. It's the fact that I have recovered my original strength!" <Yuna>

"You're lying! There's no way you could have lift the curse that was put on you! Such thing... even a priest couldn't easily do it!" <Stronzo>

"Well that is indeed true. However, I met with the one who put that curse on me. Things happened and she lift the cursed. So now, I'm back to my original strength. You know what that means right?" <Yuna>

"Fuck!" <Stronzo>

Stronzo understood that if they were ever to go toe to toe, Yuna would be the victor. If they were to compare their strength, Yuna is undoubtedly way stronger than him.

So if Yuna has recovered her original strength, it means he has no chance of winning.

"You lot! Come help me!" <Stronzo>

Knowing that he couldn't do it alone, he had no choice but to ask for help from his clan members, as well as the people that he brought from Fortuneprise.

About 20 people gathered behind him.

"What now? Can you defeat all of us?" <Stronzo>

Compared to the 20 of them, Yuna has only Rita and Mei.

No matter how strong Yuna was, defeating all 20 of them along with Stronzo would be a difficult task.

While faced against a dire predicament, someone among Harold's man came forward.

"It's been awhile hasn't it, Yuna?"

"You..." <Yuna>

The person who greeted was one of Harold Bastorn closest man, Hank. He had been with him since the time when Fortuneprise was still climbing up the ranks.

Which also means that he was present when the son of Harold was still considered family.

And the reason he knows about Yuna is because,

"How's Eric doing? Seeing that you're also here, it means that he's doing well?" <Hank>

"Eric? So you do know where he is. Tell me!" <Yuna>

"Tell you? Are you kidding me? Why the fuck do I need to tell you?" <Hank>

"You bastard... If you know where he is just tell me! It's not like you guys care about him anymore. So is there a need to keep it a secret?" <Yuna>

Hearing such things from her, Hank got a little pissed. How could she be asking such questions, when the reason they're here is because of him?

"Are you seriously making fun of me right now? If you are, it ain't funny." <Hank>

"You're the one who is making fun of me. If you're not gonna tell me, then I'll have no choice but to force you!" <Yuna>

"This bitch..." <Hank>

Hank couldn't take it anymore, it's either she really doesn't know or she's just making a fool out of him. But how could she be here if she didn't know it?

No longer interested in talking with her anymore, Hank instead resorted to violence.

He fired lightning from his palm, and directed it at Yuna.

However, she immediately blocked it using one of her skill to deflect attacks.

"tch!" <Hank>

Hank knows he can't win her. But at the same time, he has enough strength to at least deal some serious damage to her.

He may seem like a nobody. But he's Harold's right hand man for a reason. Not only he is in charge of trading affairs, but he's also part of the security unit of the Fortuneprise. Being in one, he is undoubtedly strong. His strength is roughly on an A-rank Sade.

"Alright. Since you want to fight instead, I'll gladly do it." <Yuna>

Though she said that, inside she's a bit nervous. The difference in numbers is too great. At most she could handle either Firefly or Hank's group alone. But both, even with Mei and Rita it's very difficult.

Whike thinking of a way around this issue, someone walked up beside them.

"Heh! Looks like you found yourself an opponent. I'll handle the noisy kid there,  you and you friends can deal with those group. Is that fine with you?" <Adolf>

Adolf who suggested that looked at Stronzo with a smirk.

"You sure? He's an S-Rank Sade you know? And the rest of his group are A-Ranks. It's not gonna be easy." <Yuna>

"Nah~ Don't worry. I've been training. Compared to him, they're just punching bags." <Adolf>

"Alright. If you say so. By the way, who are you?" <Yuna>

"Me? Let's just say I'm in charge of guarding the people inside. And Adolf's the name." <Adolf>

"Alright, Adolf-San. I'll leave them to you." <Yuna>

Now that they have their sight on each of their opponents, the two sides got ready to fight.
