At dawn Lilian woke up, went to the bathroom and ate her breakfast. Soon she was out.

"Odin, let's go to the guild! I want to find someone to teach me some fencing!", exclaimed Lilian and Odin came to her, he was healed together with Lilian when they were in the guild infirmary.

Lilian left her house and headed towards the guild, but she didn't know that some people were waiting for her in the middle of the road.

"Hey little girl! Why don't you come over here and talk to us", said a man coming close to Lilian.

Lilian sees the man approaching and says, "What if I don't want to?".

The man put a smile on his face and said, "You don't have a choice", then threw a punch at Lilian.

Lilian quickly jumped back and dodged the man's punch. Odin flew off and landed on the roof of a house.

"What do you want with me?", asked Lilian as she activated [Evaluation].

"He's not much... with a little effort I might be able to incapacitate him", Lilian thought.

The next moment Lilian took her sword and made a small cut on her hand, then used [Blood Manipulation].

Poter was surprised by what had happened, and Lilian took this opportunity by activating [Blood Blades] sending them at Poter.

Poter was hit by some of the small blades. Lilian soon thought that the fight was in her favor, but it wasn't quite like that.

Three more people appear and stand in front of Poter to defend him.

"Let's take it easy little girl...you still have to deal with all of us", said the boss.

"More of them...there are four of them in total. I won't be able to go against all that, I need a chance to escape", thought Lilian.

"What do you guys want with me?", asked Lilian.

"We're just doing what we were paid to do", said the boss.

"It was that fat guy, wasn't it? I was taking my time...", said Lilian.

The group leader looked surprised at Lilian, "Haha! So you know... I don't know what you did to piss him off, but he's paying us, so no hard feelings", said the chief, opening a mischievous smile.

"Capture her", and two of the goons went to attack her.

Lilian quickly used her [Mana Manipulation] and grabbed as much blood as possible from Poter who was lying on the ground.

Poter turned pale from the blood loss and fainted, "I hope he didn't die... this could be problematic", Lilian thought, looking at Poter lying on the ground.

Ding!

[Mana Regeneration; Level 2] (Level Up)

The leader of them was closest to Poter so he ran to see if he was okay, "Ugh... that's good, he's still alive", he thought.

"Change of heart, guys, just kill her", the angry boss exclaimed.

Lilian was under pressure with two people coming at her, one from the right and one from the left, there was no chance of escape.

"Looks like I'll have to fight back", she thought.

The man with a dagger quickly appeared behind Lilian and tried to strike a blow to the back of her head. Lilian reacted and crouched down.

Lilian was using her [Blood Manipulation] and created a sword of blood, then threw it at the other man who was coming towards her.

Surprised, the man took a step back and hit the sword with his knife, breaking the sword.

Lilian wasted no time concentrating to the maximum and transformed all the blood circulating in her into blades, throwing them in all directions.

The two suffered some injuries from Lilian's attack and quickly moved away.

"Hump... you guys are useless, you can't even catch a little girl... but I must say, you have some hard magic to deal with", said the boss.

Then the boss decided to act, he pulled out a huge heavy sword and advanced towards Lilian.

Lilian was losing mana at a great rate, after all [Mana Manipulation] used mana every second and the greater the amount and blood, the greater the mana expenditure.

The boss came close to Lilian and was prepared to strike a blow at her.

But, one of his henchmen appeared from his side and punched him in the face, sending him backwards.

"What are you doing, you idiot?", the boss yelled angrily.

But it seemed that the henchman wasn't listening, he just kept coming at the boss and throwing more and more punches.

Lilian realized that this was familiar, and she felt a different mana fluctuation, being a mage she was sensitive to this kind of thing.

She looked to where the mana fluctuation came from and saw Odin with eyes glowing in scarlet, "So it was you...", Lilian muttered.

Lilian takes the opportunity that two of them were fighting, went over to the remaining one who was still stumped by one of his companions fighting his boss and landed a full force kick right down there.

Aaaah!

A scream of pain resounded throughout the place, the man held his toy in pain and fell to the ground.

"Quick and efficient, Hehe!", muttered Lilian with a huge smile on her face.

"Come on Odin!", shouted Lilian and Odin came to her, then the two of them took off running towards the guild.

"Ughhh! You two idiots! You get up and go after her fast!", shouted the boss, he was already red with anger.

But the henchman lying on the ground didn't respond, he just held himself down and cried out in pain.

The other who was fighting his boss came out of his illusion, "Uh!? Boss? Aren't you the little girl?", he said perplexed.

"OF COURSE I AM NOT YOUR IDIOT!", he shouted angrily and punched the henchman in the face as hard as he could, throwing him away.

"Little girl... you will pay!", muttered the boss with a scowl on his face.

Lilian took off running and when she reached the guild she was panting heavily.

Zyra and Keito saw her and quickly ran to help her.

"Lilian? What happened?", asked Zyra worriedly.

"That fat guy looks like he sent people after me", said Lilian.

"What?", exclaimed Keito.

Zyra didn't say anything, just ran off with a huge killing intent.

Lilian saw this and was going to try to stop Zyra, however, Keito stopped Lilian, "It's no use... she feels guilty for this, after all she was the one who humiliated that fat man", said Keito.

Lilian just sighed and looked at Zyra running.
