It was a human-ape standing over three meters tall, with a face like a demon and sharp fangs protruding from its lips.
Its hair was a dark blue-green, its body lean and muscular, and its claws curled inward like hooks, making one believe that a light swipe could easily tear a human apart.
The human-ape leapt down from a branch, surrounded by swirling yellowing leaves caught in the strong wind.
In an instant of extreme danger, Arakawa Reina couldn't even scream; her eyes widened beneath her black-framed glasses, and her pink lips formed an 'O'.
Aozawa, instead of evading, counterattacked, with a blade glinting like a streak of black lightning cutting through the night.
The figures, one tall and one short, intersected in a flash.
In the blink of an eye and the speed of light, Arakawa Reina couldn't see the attacks from either side, only noticed that as Aozawa strode forward, he sheathed his sword.
A streak of golden light rose high with the human-ape's head.
