[ Receptionist ]: "You and whoever is with you will be thrown out if you don't stay away from their spot." His words caught the attention of both the person and Chyohana; the latter turned her face looking at him, and the receptionist approached them along with Oshnirai. [ Receptionist ]: "Lady Chyohana, leave him to me to deal with." He moved away from her to advance toward the person with complete calmness. [ Receptionist ]: "Sir, you could have looked for another place since you have, in any case, consumed part of your time and his time in nothingness or in your stubbornness. Look immediately for a vacant spot or please follow me out of the room. I think my words are clear." The person's body shook as his eyes widened more, his features changing to astonishment. [ Person ]: "Sir receptionist, they are the ones who left the place; it is my right now." [ Receptionist ]: "The reason for their departure is because it seems that one of them—and it may specifically be Lady Ahijki—did not complete all the necessary training conditions, so she was forced to move away for some time. Enough wasting time, sir." While they were trying to convince each other, at Chyohana and Oshnirai's side, the latter laughed at the sight, and Chyohana's smile emerged at the matter. [ Oshnirai ]: "Did you see? When you are in an official place, use the employee in control of the place so he takes the trouble of solving any problem that occurred inside the institution instead of wasting the effort of one who will only stay for an hour or more and leave, Hahaha." [ Chyohana ]: "Oh, Oshi, you are very bad, but you saved him because I was planning to deliver a punch that would separate his head from his body." [ Oshnirai ]: "So in this case, I saved you from getting involved as well. If you had done that, we would have been saying goodbye to each other forever, as the police would have chased you to take the right of this idiot." A moment later, the person appeared with his companion moving away, the receptionist seeing them off. The latter stopped for a second near Chyohana and Oshnirai. [ Receptionist ]: "Aaaa, I apologize on his behalf. Aaaa, you can return to your place now." He moved away to leave them monitoring his departure until Chyohana pinched Oshnirai's left ear, pulling her by it. [ Chyohana ]: "Come on, we wasted a lot of time." Oshnirai returned to stand before the wall carrying the square clock, facing Chyohana, the latter showing a smile of challenge. [ Chyohana ]: "I want to see it with my own eyes." [ Chyohana ]: "Step zero, and without it you won't be able to do anything, and it is... clearing the mind completely so it is devoid of any point of emotion." Oshnirai closed her eyes, her smile disappeared, and the surroundings around her became dark. She breathed slowly, and afterward the darkness vanished from around her; then she opened both her eyes to reveal features of coldness, and Chyohana watched her followingly. [ Chyohana ]: "Good, you finished step zero... Now apply all the following steps, and of course, in the end, the first trial won't succeed." Oshnirai's right hand widened to its maximum extent, then she raised it and struck the earth with it. [ Oshnirai ]: "King of the Earth: Fortress of Cruelty" From her hand to the earth, energy leaked like a green light under a layer of simple depth of the earth itself to extend as a strip reaching a full meter in length. Then suddenly the light turned into a silver substance forming bit by bit to rise for a moment upward; indeed, a wall of silver metal appeared, but in a second it disappeared. Chyohana's gaze had moved upward with the rise of the wall before the disappearance where she was watching it, and the smile of challenge was still on her; she directed her sight directly to Oshnirai upon its disappearance. [ Chyohana ]: "Excellent. In the second attempt, make it stay for a longer duration." [ Oshnirai ]: "So, the next attempt: a longer duration." Oshnirai's hand widened again, then rose to strike the earth once more. The leakage of green light appeared, forming the silver, rising as a wall, and it remained this time for two full minutes until it disappeared, vanishing. The gap that it caused appeared before Chyohana and Oshnirai. [ Chyohana ]: "In the third attempt—and specifically this time—not only for a longer duration, but let the exits of the sharp blades appear with it. I want to see its display. Come on." Oshnirai nodded her head to her, then descended to the earth and raised her hand, striking it. [ Oshnirai ]: "King of the Earth... Fortress of Cruelty" And in this attempt, the wall appeared faster, faster than before, and more than two minutes passed until suddenly several holes of medium diameter appeared, right before Chyohana, who showed her teeth with a wide laugh, watching it. [ Chyohana ]: "Wonderful, I will see that, and I have to avoid them as well." From those holes, pointed heads began to appear, ready to launch, until—with a lightning speed—they exited their place. Their speed was such that their shape was hardly clear. During their rush, Chyohana jumped right and left and up and down, avoiding the danger of the blades. It seemed they would hit every trainee in the place, but a barrier appeared covering the entire spot where they were located—the barrier which also resembled a wall to prevent the blades from reaching other areas. This preventive barrier had a transparent and glowing green color as if it were toxic jelly. All the blades crashed into it, bouncing back in its place. Then the silver wall disappeared and its blades with it, and Chyohana also stopped jumping to avoid them, steadying herself in her place, but the wide laugh alone was what did not disappear. She gave her attention to Oshnirai, who was standing quietly and coldly. [ Chyohana ]: "Excellent. Very good. Wonderful, Oshnirai. If not for the preventive barrier, you would have killed whoever is in the place. Beautiful, my dear." Chyohana glared at her with sharp eyes of challenge. [ Chyohana ]: "Now, Oshi, and the most important step: you must tame the wall. Make it under your authority and control so you can make it appear and disappear at the time you want. Come on, this matter will take time from you until nightfall. Quickly, we must not waste time." [ Oshnirai ]: "Yes, and I have to save at least an hour before we have to come to the Agency headquarters as a break so we can rest." [ Chyohana ]: "Work hard so you can do that, otherwise you'll attend while exhausted." Oshnirai prepared her body to return to the exercise, returning to strike the floor with her hand, repeating the attempts to master the King of the Earth technique. Outside the training room, time passed with the passing of the public's movement and the sagging of the sunlight; its color changed to fiery orange, making some corners of the sea depths subjected to its color, and its lights disappeared bit by bit to put the pitch darkness and its moon in place. The city residents decided to compensate for its lighting with the light of the shining poles, lighting the entire city with its multi-colored lights. The water bubbles appeared with their shine on the surface, roaming the surroundings. Returning to the inside of the training room, specifically the Technical Mastery Corner, where the place appeared and the number of people in it had decreased, becoming countable; the number of remaining people was 10, in addition to Chyohana and Oshnirai. The latter was panting from fatigue while Chyohana watched her with sharp, strict looks. [ Chyohana ]: "Come on, Oshi, show it for one last time. Last time, after making sure you've really mastered it, so we can finally leave here." Oshnirai adjusted her posture to also adjust her intermittent breathing, then placed her left hand on her right shoulder and moved her arm as if it were a fan resembling a stone pillar rotating at the top. She gave Chyohana a condescending look filled with challenge. [ Oshnirai ]: "Prepare now to see its greatness for the last time... I will make you suffer under its pressure." Chyohana's laugh became wider, filled with excitement, and she raised her arms with fists, pressing the ground with her feet. [ Chyohana ]: "I am ready. Just show me what you have; your hitting me is just a far-fetched dream." As soon as Chyohana said this, Oshnirai set about pressing her body and rushed toward her, leaving a short distance separating them, and raised her hand high, striking the earth. The latter shook upon receiving a violent blow and responded immediately, revealing the silver wall. It did not waste time before it revealed its holes to release the blades taking the shape of triangles, shining under the lighting coming from the ceiling. They headed toward Chyohana using their maximum speed, and even she began jumping here and there in all directions, avoiding them while the blades attacked her like rushing armies. The transparent green jelly-like barrier appeared, preventing the blades from exceeding their limits, and they crashed into it a second time and bounced back at Chyohana, who worked on avoiding them. Ten minutes passed and the blades vanished, looking as if they were silver scattering and disappearing as if the surroundings swallowed them. Oshnirai was standing firm, her arms crossed, looking sharply until she approached the silver wall with slow steps and extended her hand, touching its surface, making the latter reveal its holes and launch its blades for one last time, rushing and dashing. Chyohana prepared herself to begin avoiding them and returned to jumping in the four directions; the blades still could not hit her due to her swinging in the middle of the place. Oshnirai turned herself to the left side and ran, disappearing behind the wall, and appeared attacking Chyohana, clashing with her physically. They exchanged hand blows with lightning speeds, moving here and there. The blades managed to hit their clothes, causing tears in the fabric of the garments; even two of the triangles launched toward Chyohana's hat, piercing it, distributed on both sides, causing her hat to split and then taking it, falling to the ground, leaving Chyohana's head with her curly black hair exposed. During that, both the latter and Oshnirai continued the hand blows. [ Chyohana ]: "You fool! Leave the task of attack to him; don't interfere in his work." [ Oshnirai ]: "I only wanted to help the King in his fight; for no king fights alone." And continuing their clashing, once with hot fists and once with leg attacks, which made them rise to deliver their blows to each other. During that, the blades moved like an army, their speed hiding their shape, and they really managed to cause injuries in the skin of each of them, making them bleed. But the blood moved between the movement of the water, taking it to other places, leaving only the traces of blood on their bodies. Another ten minutes passed and the blades disappeared, vanishing, scattering and disappearing into the surroundings. Then also the green barrier disappeared, sinking in, announcing the end of its work. Even Chyohana and Oshnirai threw themselves away from each other so their feet rubbed the ground; afterward, they adjusted their posture, the towering silver wall behind Oshnirai. Chyohana's laugh did not leave her face, revealing her happiness that overwhelmed her eyes. [ Chyohana ]: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! You mastered it, controlled it, and made me enjoy... Now only one thing remains, which is... making the King retreat." [ Oshnirai ]: "Aha, I think the King of the Earth has had enough of presence today." Oshnirai raised her hands before her to then clap a single clap, producing a hot sound under her cold facial features. Then suddenly the silver wall evaporated, and every point of it shone with brilliance, bidding farewell to the place and disappearing completely from the corner. Chyohana approached Oshnirai and stood on her left side. Oshnirai breathed long, letting out the exhale afterward, her cold features changing, replaced by a wide smile revealing her excitement. [ Oshnirai ]: "I hope I was really able to put you under his pressure. Look at your clothes, how they became scrap, and that's aside from those wide wounds that took over parts of your skin." [ Chyohana ]: "And you made me lose my hat as well. Your flies weren't able to touch me until you intervened." [ Oshnirai ]: "Let's leave here; night has fallen and we've finished as well. Come, let's pay the receptionist his wage." They looked around them in the place; the ten people who were present had also left, and they were the last two remaining. With surprise, Chyohana placed her hands on the sides of her waist. [ Chyohana ]: "Oh, everyone left and left us." A moment later, they appeared before the receptionist's desk, showing their smiles to each other, Chyohana holding her torn hat in her hand. Oshnirai put her hand in her shirt, taking out her money carrier. [ Receptionist ]: "Thank you for your visit. I hope you've increased in strength, Lady Ahijki." The latter took out her phone, placing it on his desk. [ Receptionist ]: "And this is your device, please." [ Oshnirai ]: "We are the ones who must thank you for your help to us until now. Since I stayed here the whole time without counting the temporary interruption, I hand you your due wage with pleasure from me." She opened the money carrier, taking out several bank notes, and placed them on his desk. [ Receptionist ]: "Thank you very much. I am pleased to deal with you again." She opened the money carrier for another time, taking out other bank notes. [ Oshnirai ]: "And this is extra for you for your trouble." [ Receptionist ]: "Thank you for your generosity." The receptionist gave them a wide laugh. [ Receptionist ] (to himself): "Because I know you pay more than the total amount due, I always let you in without advance payment. How wonderful it is dealing with two old ladies; this extra money I will monopolize for myself as usual." Both set off, moving away from him to exit from the glass exit door. There was a trash bin near the door, and Chyohana decided to abandon her hat, throwing it inside it to join the rest of the waste. [ Chyohana ]: "Now I'll buy another one." Oshnirai's eyes narrowed while they walked moving away from the training room. [ Oshnirai ]: "My stomach is complaining of severe hunger; I must fill it with the best dinner." [ Chyohana ]: "Of course, for you exhausted all your nutritional energy throughout being there today. Go back to your house and rest, because as you know, we will meet with the rest of our group tonight." They continued walking on their feet, the number of passersby on the road decreasing as time passed, until the civilian submarines were non-existent. They were alone walking together, exchanging conversation, until reaching the park in the center of the city where the statue of the bald man was. [ Chyohana ]: "Well, now I leave you, Oshi." They bowed to each other for farewell; afterward, Chyohana set about moving away from her, leaving the place. [ Oshnirai ]: "Farewell, see you later, and thank you for wasting time with me in my training; I will never use it." Her words made Chyohana turn her back to her with her wide smile. [ Chyohana ]: "What did you say? The matter won't end here, you fool! From now on, and after every mission we complete, you will get a new technique. Did you hear, you clumsy idiot? And no thanks for a duty. Haha, farewell, you crazy woman." She waved her hand to her, heading forward and leaving until Oshnirai let out her wide laugh and turned herself forward as well, parting, and began walking quickly moving away from the park. [ Oshnirai ] (to herself): "I must hurry so I can prepare my food, and this is regardless of the fact that I must bandage these wounds of mine." She raised her right arm before her where there were two injuries like red lines. Moments later, she appeared before her house, which resembles a pineapple fruit. She contemplated it for a second, then leaned down to lift part of the rug, found the key under it, and decided to take it, and entered the door with it.
