"*Evil Smile* Fufu, you'll find out soon enough."(Rina)
""(Confused) What?""
"You 2 want to know why I'm doing this, no?"(Rina)
"Of course, but you wouldn't just tell us, right?"(Mayson)
"*Shrug* Who knows. But I say let's play a little game. You 2 vs. me. You win, I'll tell you why, and you're free to go."(Rina)
"(Serious) And if we lose?"(Mayson)
"*Evil Smile* You'll find out."(Rina)
Not that I'd let them leave either way, but... I'm confident in my ability to fight 2 on 1.
*Snap*
*Rumble*
I then expanded the cell so we had more than enough room to fight.
"Do I have to fight with these on? Cause I know I'll lose with them."(Mayson)
"Fufu, of course not; that would ruin the thrill of the hunt."(Rina)
*Snap*
*Woosh*
*Click*
*Clang*
*Woosh*
I then used wind magic to unlock the cuffs with the keys and bring them back. I then stored them in the inventory and moved back. At the same time, Mayson and Matt did the same. I then drew my spear and made a provocative hand gesture.
"Now come, I don't care how you fight me, but don't hold back or... *Evil smile* you might die."(Rina)
*shiick*x2
They both then drew their swords and got ready to fight.
*flash*
*Floosh*
"Haaah!"(Mayson)
Matt cast an enhancement spell on him while he further enhanced his strength with aura and used a mana coating to coat his sword in flames.
Hmm, props to you, I guess, but not good enough.
*Whoosh*
*Bang!*
"Gah!"(Mayson)
*Crash*
Just as he was going for a downward slash, I coated my body with ice aether and side-stepped his sword. Using that opening, I punched him in the gut sending him flying across the room.
(Cold) Pathetic. This strength isn't anywhere close to fighting my family, well, maybe Dad (sorry), but not the others. S-
*Woosh*
*Clang*
*Bang*
"Gah!"(Matt)
*Crash*
Matt then tried using my distracted state as a chance to attack, leading with a diagonal slash that I batted away with my spear. I sent him flying into a wall with a spartan kick to his chest.
(Annoyed) A fly should stay on the wall. Now where was I? ...Right, weak. Too weak. So then how did they manage t-
*Floosh*
*Boom!*
While I was still thinking, a fireball suddenly shot toward me, which I countered with an ice arrow, causing the fireball to explode and dust to be kicked up. Meanwhile, my ice arrow harmlessly hit the wall, causing it to freeze.
No-
*Clang!*
Just as I was about to return to my train of thought, Mayson tried to strike me from behind with a sideways slash coated in flames. I blocked it with my spear, but I got a few burns from the heat since I didn't have the coat over my body due to the heat. Though the burns didn't last but a second before healing.
(Annoyed) Tch, so that's how. Fire. (Pissed) They used fire magic! They specifically prepared for ice-type beings and brought lots of fire element users! But even so. That-

*Flash*
*Bang* *Crunch*
"Gah!"(Matt)
*Crash*
*Shiick*
*Splat*
"Aaahhhh!!"(Mayson)
Suddenly Mayson closed his eyes while Matt tried to blind me with light magic. He then tried to attack from behind while he thought I couldn't see much to his misconception. As he tried to attack, I roundhouse kicked him in the side and, using my momentum, guided Mayson's sword upward and cut his leg off, causing him to scream in pain due to the poison on the spearheads that enhances pain.
(Annoyed) Let's end this game. I've gotten all the answers I needed.
*Snap*
*Rumble*
The room then reverted to its normal size.
(Mad) So from all that I've seen, this is how it went. I'll assume Mom would lead a trap as she always taught me to do. So, let's say that trap got between 5 and 10 people out of the hundred forty or so there. Hmm, there's only 1 thing that isn't adding up. How did they deal with the rest of the pack? There was what? 35-40 other adults at the t-
*Clang*
"*Glare* Sit still."(Rina)
*Crrr*
Matt again tried to surprise attack me, only for me to catch his blade and freeze him in place with my unique skill. I then walked over to the bench in the cell and sat down. The screaming had long since stopped as Mayson had fainted, and I healed the wound so that he wouldn't bleed to death, but he'd never walk.
(Annoyed) Hmm, what's the 1 factor that I'm not thinking about? Hmm, magics? No. Aether? Not possible. Debuffs? Possible, but when I saw the scene back then *shiver* there was no wolf, any bite or claw marks. (Frustrated So, what is it that I'm missing!? Something new! Something unique t-! Wait... that's it! Unique skills!
My eyes then shot toward Matt.

So that's how they did it! They used this fucker as a beast lure! Now it all makes sense!
"*Clap* No-"(Rina)
"Rina!"(Autumn)
"Dammit! Right when I was about to begin, too!"(Rina)
*Flash*
*Flash*
I then teleported over to the front of the cell Autumn was playing in.
"You called?"(Rina)
"(Excited) Look, Look!"(Autumn)
She then began moving a body around and making it do random things. I also noted that she killed all of them. She then looked over to me with a praise-me look. Then began to pet her head.
"*Smile* Good job. You've managed to use the spell blood puppet all on your own."(Rina)
"*Smile* Hehe."(Autumn)
Gah! My heart!
She then started leaning in closer to me.
"I want to go back now. I'm tired."(Autumn)
(Confused) Eh? It's only been what 2-3 hours? Well, she is a beginner in magic and used a lot of magic.
"*Nod* Alright, then let's go."(Rina)
I then held out my hand, which she promptly grabbed.
*Flash*
*Flash*
Once we arrived in her room, she ended up leaning on me, trying not to vomit.
*Flash*
"Better?"(Rina)
"Ugh, very."(Autumn)
*Pomf*
She then jumped onto the bed.
"Alright, have good rest. I'll go get you when dinner's ready."(Rina)
She then shot up and gave me a sad look.
"*Droop* You're not staying?"(Autumn)
Gah! This girl's really trying to kill me with cuteness!
"I would, but there's a few things I need to do."(Rina)
Namely, flowers. I need to see if that little experiment worked. It was the first thing I thought to do when I saw the snowscape in the pocket dimension.
"(Depressed) alright."(Autumn)
God, this girl! She's really testing my willpower here! I must stand strong!
"*Smile* Alright, see you in a little bit."(Rina)
"(Depressed) Yeah."(Autumn)
I then speed walked out of her room, closing the door behind me.
"*Pssh* *Sigh* God, I was about to lose it if I stayed any longer."(Rina)
{Master.}(Nifl)
Good timing, Nifl. I need to ask you something.
{Yes? There's also something I need to report.}(Nifl)
I'll deal with it later; first, I need to know about my flower project.
{Ah, that... sadly, most of them died}(Nifl)
When she said that, I couldn't help but be depressed at not being able to ask Autumn out with winter roses.
(Depressed) oh.
{Ah, but the roses you had me take extreme care of have bloomed!}(Nifl)
(Excited) Really!? They've even bloomed already!?
{Mhm! I've been feeding them lots of life mana so that they'd grow even in the harsh environment!}(Nifl)
(Excited) Great! I'm going to pick some now!
