"The crimson daemon is here! Everyone ran to the shelter! Everyone runs now!" The captain of the guard is screaming orders to the guards and civilians: "We must hurry! Before it comes! We have to run for the shelters!"

A cat eared girl fell on the floor due to the panic, her face full of terror, she's shivering uncontrollably. A man grabbed the cat eared girl by the shoulders, and picked her up, carrying her away to the shelter: "We're safe now-" With a sound that is so loud that it can break people apart, the entire shelter has been leveled to the ground, only a pile of ruins remained, and nothing is left, everyone who is there are killed.

The captain stares in horror and is just about to run, but the next thing he knows is that his top half of the body has been detached from his body. Blood and flesh are splattering everywhere, painting the walls, and the floor, crimson. A small child is watching the scene of horror and screams but before he can have his voice out, the sudden blast wave makes him disappear in the thin air.

Two days later, another hybrid settlement.

"Mina!" Nortem ran towards his girlfriend while carrying a gift box in his hand. Mina turns towards Nortem, and she smiles at him, her face brightening up immediately as she looks at her boyfriend's face: "Hey Nortem, you're finally here! You made it! How is your day?"

"I am having a great day." Nortem said, grinning widely: "I just got made to be the assistant baker of the bakery. This means I can now have more money and.... well you know, a future for us." He said as he held up a box, the box was decorated nicely and was covered by a beautiful cloth, with a blue bow on the top.

Mina takes the gift box and looks at Nortem: "Is it really for me? I " She smiled shyly, as she blushed lightly, "I am not used to having people giving me gifts..."

Nortem laughs and looks at Mina, he gently holds her hand and leads her to the table where they both sit: "Yes Mina. This gift is for you. It's from my heart, for the future." He smiles at her and opens the gift box, inside there's a beautiful necklace with a shining emerald, "This emerald will symbolize the love that we have for each other..." He gently grabs the necklace and puts it on Mina, she looks at the necklace with a happy smile and says to Nortem: "Thank you for this wonderful gift... I will treasure it forever..."

"Hey Nor... I couldn't get in touch with my parents anymore for some reason..." Mina looks at him and says: "What do you think it is?" Nortem looks at her with concern on his face and holds her hands tightly: "Maybe they are busy and have no signal on the way... maybe they are just somewhere and cannot respond to you? Maybe there's some kind of network problem."

Mina shakes her head slightly, looking worried, she tries to smile and looks at Nortem in a cheerful way: "I am sure that everything will be okay. Let's have our date and have a great day today..." Nortem nods and smiles at her. He puts his arm around her shoulder and leans his head to her side, and kisses her on the lips gently. He then gently brushes her pure white hair, his hands slowly goes through her silky hair, she kisses him back gently and puts her hands around his neck. After a short period of time, she stops kissing him, and gently pulls back, but still staying close to him.

They then had a really fun date, Nortem bought them tickets to the fairground and they both had fun together, enjoying every single moment that they could. They had their meal, went to the games and then finally went to the ferris wheel together. While they are waiting for the wheel to turn, they talk about the things that have happened recently in the town and they are laughing together happily. They both talk about what they plan to do in the future, they also talk about what kind of children that they would want to have and where they would want to go with each other. Then, after their time at the wheel, they are going home. Mina suddenly has the feeling that she needs to use the washroom, so they stopped by a restroom near a convenience store. When Nortem waits outside for her, suddenly after a sun-like bright light. There's only a puddle of red water. There was no noise or even a vibration, but everyone that was outside of the settlements were all killed, everyone just suddenly vanished without a trace, and everyone was turned into a puddle of water, with a faint scent of blood in it.

When Mina left the washroom, her boyfriend was nowhere to be found. She looked around for him in the place, she then decided to check up his comms but for some reason its out of reach. Then she heard people begin screaming outside and she could hear people screaming and crying. She heard people running in the streets.

"What in the world happened?" She looks at a nearby security guard who seems to be dazed by the sight of what just happened. "Hey what is going on?!"

The guard looked at her with a stunned face, not really looking like he understood what just happened: "The light... the light made it happen." He then points at a man who was seemingly resting under shade but his legs were outside of the shadow. The man is screaming his heart out while there's some red water at where his legs used to be. He then screams out and passes out due to the shock.

Mina was shaken by the sudden realization of the scene, and remembered that there was a puddle of similar water outside of the washroom. She ran to where she was previously but she saw that the scene outside of the washroom was exactly the same as the scene with the man.

She kneels on the ground, she is crying uncontrollably as she puts her head into her arms, her body is trembling as tears begin to pour down on her face. Then she looked around and realized that she was alone. She takes out her comms, but the signal is gone. Then she heard the screams of people nearby: "It's here! Get into the shelters! It's the daemon!" Mina can see the people running, screaming and crying in fear of the crimson daemon. She suddenly feels an enormous pressure on her chest. She tries her best to remain calm but her heartbeat is rising, she can hear people screaming and she can hear her own heartbeat pounding. Her whole body is shaking.

Suddenly at the other side of the settlement, she can see a sudden flashlight, and then comes the enormous earth shake that throws her in mid air. Mina is thrown in the air and then falls back onto the ground hard, but luckily she did not hit her head, just some scrapes and bruises. When Mina recovered her vision, she already saw the nearby shelter being leveled down by the enormous blast. Blood, flesh and other organic fluids are being splattered all over the place. She screamed in fear, pain and most of all... hatred. She hates that this thing has happened to her for no reason whatsoever. She hates the world so much that she could just kill it right now if she has the chance. She hides into a basement out of instinct and hides for her life.

She hears something that sounds like planes flying pass by but it landed just with a single tap. She then hears an enormous explosion that sends shards of metals everywhere and makes a lot of smoke, and then after the sound, comes the silence. She peeks out of the basement, and sees a terrifying scene. Everything she knew is already on fire. There was not a single scream, there is not a single trace of anyone, no survivors, nothing, no one is here... except her. But not really.

Suddenly, she hears a voice: "Yeah, honey. I will be back soon for dinner after my work is done. Love you, bye~" Then with a sonic boom, there was a blast that destroyed a house. She covered her eyes from the shards of the windows. After waiting for hours, when she's sure that no one is outside. She sneaks out of the basement. Her whole body is covered in dirt. Her clothes are torn to shreds and she's all covered in scratches and cuts.

"No... no... no. What the hell just happened here... Nortem..." She fell on the ground, and began crying, as the tears flowed down her face uncontrollably. After a short period of time, she picked herself up and began walking, in an attempt to find any survivors or other settlements nearby, however the nearest one that she can find is over 50km away. She kept on walking through the forest and tried her best to avoid being caught in the night. The trees, the leaves, and the birds, the entire scenery seems normal to her, she wonders how everything could be so normal when the world that she lived in is destroyed and gone forever. She feels so empty, her heart feels so heavy and her tears keep pouring out.

After the emperor knows how long, she sees light and hears the sound of engines running and the sounds of people talking. When she saw people again, she cried tears of joy. The people came over and helped her, gave her clothes to wear and cleaned up her wounds, they told her that she is at one of the containment camps. Which is similar to the one she used to live in. They let her in and told her to get some rest, then, after a few hours. A soldier looking person comes into the room she's in, she immediately sits up and looks at the soldier.

"From what I heard you were the sole survivor of your settlement... my sincerest apologies and condolences, but the commander wants to see you for your statement and records. This is just a protocol we have to follow, don't be nervous..." he looks at Mina: "Please tell me anything about the crimson daemon... Anything."

"I...I didn't see her."

"Her?"

"Yes I heard her voice but I did not see her at all. The voice was female..." Mina looks down with a sad expression on her face as the memory of that voice still haunts her: "She said something about going home for her partner or something... she sounded like any other woman you hear on the street..."

"Did she mention where her home was? Was she a hybrid or not?"

"She didn't mention it... And I think that she is a human..."

"Anything else about her voice that stood out to you? The intonation? The accent? The pronunciations of her words?"

Mina shook her head and looked up at the officer: "It's like any other woman's voice, the intonation was not very strange... and she was speaking in the standard dialect... There's not a single thing that I can recall..."

"I understand." He nodded, "Best of luck to you then, Mina." Then, the soldier stood up and walked away from Mina. When he was gone, she lay back on the bed and tried her best to rest her mind and body, as much as possible, to cope with what happened. Every day she prayed that the daemon wouldn't come to her home. But it did.

Two years ago, out of the blue, the biggest hybrid settlement was eradicated within the span of an hour. There were no survivors or even a hint of how it happened. Everything thought it was some natural disaster but that was far from the truth, because the very next month, it happened again. Another settlement was leveled to the ground with no traces of it happening, and even some witnesses claimed that it was done by some mysterious creature, but... a name formed from people's mouth, crimson daemon. It was a name that belonged to a similar entity that appeared a long time ago. It destroyed many but suddenly disappeared. Now it came back. No one knows the cause of the daemon, nor who it is.

Somewhere out of reach by common people, "So... Honey. Where is Minka?" Monika asks Trazyn as she is munching on cookies while watching her husband who is reading books on the couch: "Why did you suddenly decide to send her to school?"

Trazyn looks up from the book and looks at her, a look of curiosity can be seen on his face as he stares at his wife, a smile spreads across his face and he shakes his head gently: "It is Minka's choice, she want to get further in life... so that is why she's going to the Schola Progenium..."

"Really? Minka is doing all of that? And for what reason?" Monika tilts her head as she looks at him, a small grin on her face: "Did she just want to do it out of curiosity or did something make her do that? What made her decide to go?"

"Maybe your daughter wants to get further in life? Is that so hard to believe?" Trazyn shakes his head, an amused smile on his face: "Why? What's the problem? She has the talent... and I'd say she'd have no problem during physical training. If you have no problem with it then let her do as she wishes..." Trazyn said: "Is that really that strange of her? Besides, she's old enough to know what to do in her life."

"Hmmmm...." Monika narrowed her eyes: "You're hiding something from me Trazyn. You seem to know more than what you told me."

"Hon, I would never lie to you." He smiles innocently, trying to reassure her, "Minka wants to get further in her life and I thought she should. So I supported her choice and helped her." Trazyn keeps reading his book as he continues to speak: "What's the big deal with it? Just let her do it, you can check on her whenever you want too. No big deal..."

"Maybe after I am done with this whole Ravager ordeal... she's been making me do things i do not like... I am just so sick of it... unclean or not, they are still people." Monika shakes her head.

"Have you tried talking to Minka about this? Surely it isn't her intention to kill all those people. She is still your daughter... I don't think she's even aware of the fact that she killed a whole city's worth of people... You have to tell her... she might even understand." Trazyn says with a tone that indicates he is still a bit unsure about it: "It's not right for her to be ignorant of her actions... you have to let her know..."

"I think she knows... and she is planning something... I will support her act of saving the world... but there's gotta be a limit on what you can do to secure peace. We are all human beings, the whole point of our existence is to protect ourselves from danger. What Minka is doing... is going against our nature and she is hurting a lot of people, even innocents..." Monika sighs.

"Then let's hope it will go smoothly, with no problem..." Trazyn said while looking at his wife: "But in the end, Minka has to decide her own destiny. Just like our own daughter did... It's not our responsibility to dictate her life... and to decide what path she is going to take... " He puts the book down.

Monika narrowed her eyes as she looked at Trazyn. Her expression is one that clearly expresses anger and confusion. She clenches her fists, and her jaws are locked. She closes her eyes and turns: "You're right. It's not our place to tell her how to live. That's up to her." She then left the room. In a place where no one can see her. Monika wrote down something in the notebook and put it into the shared pocket space between hers and Minka's: "Minky... please protect yourself... " She mutters and walks back into the room as if nothing had happened.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Five thousand years ago...

"Sannet, what do you think of humans?" Trazyn suddenly asks her as she is repairing a malfunctioned automaton. He tipped his staff on the ground to gain her attention.

"Sire, I'm not in the mood for games, I'm fixing your toy, or whatever that thing is..." Sannet keeps repairing the robot: "It's really weird that you want this to be fixed. But... What kind of questions are those? Of course I think humans are stupid. Why do you ask?" Sannet says to him while repairing.

"Interesting, interesting." He says with a chuckle, he turns around and starts walking away from Sannet: "You know? In the span of merely a few thousands years, they have conquered the stars... I think humans are actually interesting. It's a shame that they only live such a short lifespan... " Trazyn turns his head a bit to see Sannet who is still focused on the work.

Sannet sent out an annoyed glyph towards him but continued her work: "Sire, don't you need to continue your work on the collection that you recently acquired? What about your studies? Are you not busy with anything else right now? Shouldn't you just leave me to fix your toys?"

"Don't you want to know more about them?" He asked, his voice filled with amusement: "I know I do, they have so much more to offer..."

"What? More things for your collections? Don't tell me you are interested in the art of human love and procreation? Oh, and the disgusting organic parts..."

Trazyn shakes his head gently. "Well... to me, humans are actually pretty fascinating."

"Keep it to yourself, sire. I have no interest in those stupid creatures..."

Sannet's mind came back to the present world. She looks at Minka who is currently sleeping peacefully on the bed: "Maybe he was right all along." She looks down as she whispers to herself, she is sitting on a chair next to the bed where Minka is.

Minka opened her eyes because she felt someone was next to her, when she did, she saw Sannet's piercing blue eyes staring into her soul. Her expression is cold as ice. She did not move away. "You...you are here to check on me?"

"I thought that I'd take some time out of my day to make sure that you're still alive..." She says in an icy cold tone, but Minka can see the slight change in her facial expression as she says that, her gaze becomes slightly softer.

"It's good to have you back... Sannet. Really I do. I missed you."

Sannet looks at Minka with an unamused expression on her face: "I will have to check if you have any brain damage or not... but I don't see any evidence of that..." Sannet says and sighs while closing her eyes. She shakes her head lightly.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Minka raises an eyebrow at her, confused and slightly irritated: "What is your problem with me?"

Sannet keeps her cold expression and keeps her silence as she is looking at Minka. She shakes her head in exasperation.

Minka glares at her in annoyance but remains silent as well. Finally Sannet broke the silence: "I am sorry Minka." Sannet's voice is very gentle. "I was so harsh on you before. I know I'm not the kindest person to be with... but I didn't know you cared about me... you know..."

Minka keeps staring at Sannet with her eyes wide open: "Sannet... you are...you're kidding... right? You are my friend... "

"This is really uncomfortable..." Sannet is about to stand up and leave but Minka grabs her hand. Minka keeps looking into Sannet's eyes as she asks her in a concerned voice: "Are you alright Sannet?"

"I'm not..." Sannet said in a defeated tone: "I am really not... I don't know what I want anymore... Am I really just a tool to be used by people? First is your father, and now it's the ravager... What does it make me? " She asked in a sad voice, her eyes were watery, but she kept herself together. She stares at Minka as she is waiting for her response.

Minka leaps up and hugs Sannet in a tight hug, she's holding her tightly as she feels Sannet is about to break apart: "Sannet you are not a tool to be used! I care about you... I really do!"

Sannet wraps her arms around Minka as she hugs her back: "I care about you too Minka..." she said softly in a sad tone, Minka could feel tears dropping down on her clothes but she doesn't mind at all.

Suddenly, Minka woke up. She looked around the room and saw no one but herself: "It was all just a dream?... That was really a vivid dream." She touches her face and wipes off the tears, her cheeks were wet and her eyes were sore. "What kind of dream was that... That's just crazy..."

Sannet is outside leaning on the wall, she wipes away the tears, her expression was calm as always, but in her eyes, there's a small sign of sadness, a sign that most people cannot see, she then enters the room pretending nothing had happened: "Minka, get up." She said in her usual cold tone, Minka is a bit startled as she sees her in the room but she gets up and looks at Sannet. Sannet sighs: "Minka, it's been a few days and you haven't even got out of your room yet... get some fresh air."

"I mean..." Minka looks away: "I want you to train me..." She said in a nervous voice.

Sannet blinks a few times and nods: "Very well."

"Really? When can we start?"

"Now."

"Wha-" Minka suddenly felt her shoulders getting grabbed by Sannet and the next thing she knows is that she is falling from the building, Minka lets out a loud scream. With a thud, Minka fell from the second floor. She was still conscious but her body felt sore.

Sannet walks over and stares at her: "Your training starts now." She said coldly and grabbed Minka's hand and lifted her up, She then did a back kick to Minka's stomach and sent her flying backward. "Use the technique I have taught you and stand up."

"Wait!" Minka coughs, holding her stomach, she slowly gets up from the ground, her clothes are a bit torn, she looks up and sees Sannet was still standing, looking at her coldly: "Wait Sannet... let me... recuperate myself... first." She says as she coughs and spits out some sand from her mouth.

Sannet suddenly appeared from behind Minka and kicked her off with great speed and power. Minka let out a painful groan and began crawling up: "Sannet... you are asking for this." Minka mutters, her whole body hurts so much and her back is so sore.

Sannet raised her eyebrows: "Really?" She then suddenly disappeared. Then appeared in front of her, gave her a solid punch, and sent Minka flying, Minka felt like her skull was smashed in half, and she was seeing stars. Minka struggled to stand up, this time, she managed to put on her fighting stance.

Sannet smiled in an evil grin and disappeared once more. But this time she came out from below and did an upward punch to Minka's gut, but Minka dodged her attack by moving to the left and then punched her right in the face. Instead of connecting to Sannet's face, Sannet managed to catch Minka's fist and with an unexpected force, she pushed back, sending Minka flying backwards.

Minka managed to recover and land on her feet, her body still feels sore but she managed to maintain her stance. Minka charges at Sannet with a roar but she quickly dodges to the side and does a sweep kick, Sannet then suddenly jumps and gives her a roundhouse kick but Minka manages to catch Sannet's leg with her hands: "Ha! Not this time."

Sannet smirks and suddenly wraps her leg around Minka's upper body and slams her face first on the ground, with a loud bang, Minka is down on the ground.

Minka coughs and groans in pain, she rolls around in agony: "Sannet you bitch... stop doing that to me! You know it hurts like hell! Sannet! Wait!" Sannet suddenly appeared on her right side and sent Minka flying off with a side kick, sending Minka flying away to the wall. "Ughhhhhh! Sannet!"

Viola sips her water while standing alongside Anton. Both of them are watching this with great amusement: "I never knew Minka would swear like that... that's the first time i heard her said those words."

"Tends to happen when she gets her ass beaten by her friend." Anton shakes his head as he watches Sannet send Minka flying off. "Poor child."

Viola snickers and keeps watching the spectacle with great amusement.

"You talk way too much while fighting." Sannet looks down on Minka: "Get up, Minka, if you don't get up, I will keep hurting you."

"You... bitch... " Minka glares at her, her eyes filled with hatred: "I... I'm gonna get you for this." Minka mutters with great pain, her body hurts so much.

"Heh." Sannet said coldly, as she watches Minka with cold eyes, and she gives her a kick right at her chest, Minka lets out a loud scream as she's flying backward.

"If that was me... i'd be dead a while ago..." Anton said while sipping his tea. He shook his head and turned away: "You know? Viola... you really need to teach her how to fight..."

"Not this time... Minka needs an opponent that would actually threaten her life, it will teach her a thing or two." Viola shakes her head.

"Sannet please!" Minka tries her best to get up but her whole body is in pain: "Please! I need some time to recover!"

Sannet grabs her and puts her back to her feet and then punches her in the chest with all her strength. Minka kneels in pain: "You talk too much." Sannet looks at Minka with her unchanging emotionless face.

Suddenly, one of Minka's eyes began looming with golden light: "That is it. You are making me do it." A power fist manifested on Minka's hand. With an enraged expression, Minka throws a punch at Sannet, with a extremely twisted move, Sannet just pushed Minka's fist a bit to the right of where she is and Minka's hand is sunk in the wall, with a loud crash, Minka's whole arm is stuck in the wall, with the wall breaking down on the impact.

Minka turns to Sannet, and the next thing she knew, Sannet appeared right next to her. She then gives Minka a solid punch to the gut, knocking out the wind from her lungs, Minka's foot was off the ground for half of a meter, her face turns pale. Her body fell to the ground, and she is down on her knees.

"What happened to your anger and that fighting spirit that you had before? That was just disappointing Minka."

Minka tries to stand back up but she's out of strength: "What did I do wrong? I fought back right? But... " She spits out blood.

"No, you didn't fight back." Sannet says in a calm voice as she approaches her: "You just punched the wall instead of me..." Sannet kneels down in front of her: "Listen here Minka, I can tell that you are holding your strength. If you ever want to fight against the Ravager, you need to not hold back."

Minka looked at Sannet's blue eyes, there was no sign of mercy on her face. She was very disappointed with Minka's performance.

With the blink of an eye, Minka suddenly pushes Sannet, sending her flying for a good ten meters. She was so caught up on Minka that she did not even sense her charging at her: "Don't look down on me Sannet! I'm going to show you how strong I am!"

"Good." Sannet smiles slightly and nods, then charges towards her. Sannet gives her a powerful roundhouse kick with her foot, Minka moves her head to dodge the attack, she then takes a step forward and delivers a solid punch right in her gut, Sannet groans in pain but she kicks Minka in the face. Minka is on the ground again. But Sannet this time felt the pain. She put one hand on the spot that Minka punched, Sannet can feel that it would swell for the night.

With each attack, Sannet can tell that Minka is getting faster and punches with more strength. It is as expected from the daughter of Monika Terra.

Minka is in full fighting mode and she charges at Sannet again but Sannet disappears from Minka's view, when Minka looks in the direction of Sannet. She can only see a fist coming to her before she feels her back hitting the ground again. Minka felt dizzy, Sannet kneels in front of Minka with her fists still clenched tight, Minka is on the ground. She just lies on the ground motionless as if she's a dead fish.

"You did well, Minka." She nods slightly: "That is enough training for now... you really got better than before." She stands up and walks over to the table that has food and drinks on it. Viola and Anton both walk over and join them.

"Sannet...." Minka's voice was very weak: "Fuck you..." Minka coughs as she lies on the ground with great pain.

Sannet turned around to see her with an amused smile on her face. She walks over to the food table and grabs herself some drinks.

Viola came over with some ice water: "Minky, you did really well~" Viola smiled sweetly: "I am so proud of you!"

"Mmmmm!" Minka lets out a weak moan as Viola is pouring some ice water down her throat. Viola smiles brightly: "See? All you need to do is just to drink some water and relax your body..." She looks at Anton who is eating the cake: "Hey! Anton, stop eating our cake! It's for Minky!"

Anton is eating a piece of cake in his mouth as he looks at Minka. "So?" He says: "I will just make her some more when we are done... so just relax..." Anton is a bit annoyed with her nagging, but he still speaks with a kind tone, because he understands that Viola is just trying to help her friend.

"Now, let me help you." Viola tries to get Minka up but she realizes that Minka is really heavy. "Wait Anton, help me!" She yells as she can barely move her.

"It's fine VI.... I will just need a few more minutes..." Minka can see the way Viola looks at her: "Wait a minute, are you thinking that I am fat?" She glares at her: "I'm just big boned! Really! Can't you see I can tank all of those hits?!"

"Sure thing honey." She smiles innocently, as if she is telling her something really cute, she then lets Minka stand on her own two feet, as she's drinking a glass of water: "So, how is your training, Minky?" Viola smiles innocently and sips her water as she waits for an answer.

"Mmmmm!" She groans with annoyance, she just took a large sip of ice water: "Viola! You saw me getting beaten up! How was that training?! Are you telling me that it is fun? Viola, what you think is fun and what i think is fun, are two different things... " She mutters angrily.

"Wasn't trying to say it's fun, but i mean... It was really a spectacle." She laughs, Anton comes over with a towel and gives it to her.

Minka turns to see Sannet, who is also drinking tea on a chair: "So how did I do?" Minka asks.

"Hm?" Sannet looks at Minka with a lazy expression: "Oh, I see you have gotten stronger... and more resilient than before... Good." She says in an uninterested voice as she sips her tea.

"Well, yeah... I am actually getting a bit better right?" She looks at Sannet with an hopeful look in her eyes.

"Oh, not really." Sannet says coldly: "Physically you are stronger but skillswise, far from it." She looks at Minka, as if she's mocking her, which she probably is, Minka glared at Sannet and felt really annoyed by her, she has to stop herself from throwing a punch at Sannet's face. "You should train your technique a lot more. You need more finesse to use that technique. If you can't control that power well enough, you'll end up killing yourself... and others around you. Do you want to kill us, Minka?" She points her finger at the wall Minka punched in.

Minka looks at the wall that Sannet points to: "I... I was not aiming for the wall! I was aiming for you!"

Sannet laughed: "No you weren't, if you did, I'd be dead. I could feel that you are acting like you are trying hard...Something is holding you back. Tell me Minka, why did you not try hard back there?" Sannet's words were cold, she was looking at Minka with an expression that could not be called kind. Minka knew she was trying to provoke her. But Minka didn't respond to it.

"Sannet..." Anton says in a warning tone. He looks at her: "Just give Minky some rest okay? You two already fought hard today. She doesn't need to hear any more from you... Minky, get some rest okay?" Anton then walks off to the kitchen to get Minka some food.

Viola and Sannet looked at each other. Despite the history of these two, they both nodded to each other: "Minka, you are literally one of the strongest people I know and you are the kindest person I know as well. So please stop acting like you can't fight well." Viola says with a small smile.

Minka looked at her friend Viola, who is always there for her: "Thanks VI..." Minka suddenly felt a bit better: "I... I was just afraid that I might hurt Sannet if I fought too hard... But I'm not going to let it happen again!" She clenched her fists in determination: "I will do it!"

Viola looked at Sannet who also seemed to be quite interested in the current situation: "Well then... How about we rest for a day or two then you two can train properly? Okay Minky?" Viola smiles sweetly.
