Hello people! Jormlung here! I wanted to warn you that there the possibility I add the Mature Tag in the future... And no it's not because I intent to add 'mature' content, it's because if I were to believe my fellow authors which read the chapters up to now on my G-doc (Chap 8), my story should have the mature ratting, even if from my point of view it really shouldn't... Which really sadden me as I wanted to write a story without that damn tag! Oh well, I'm still not sure if I should try to change the troublesome content or simply add the mature tag yet. I will keep you informed of my decision! Don't hesitate to tell me your thought on the matter... And of course, do tell me if you see some grammar error! Which I know is there!
Anyway! Good read!

“D-Damn! Take cover!” -Anthony
Saying that I jumped out of the path of the charging chicken while grabbing the twins that was next to me. Rolling on the floor while protecting the twins against me, I strangely was able to stand back on my feet with impressive agility, as soon as we rolled a little further from the raging beast. As for Miliana and Lorelei they jumped on the other side so now we were separated by the big chicken standing proudfully between us!
“Bwaak… Bwwaakkk… Bwakkk…” -Chicken
Doing a chain of strange sound making it look like it was rambling to itself, the chicken looked to both group of small human cats in turn… Until fully turning it’s huge body in direction of the two oldest daughter of the family.
“Shit! I won’t let you!” -Anthony
Sensing that my little sisters were in danger I started to charge the chicken pushing aside my fear, and taking my out my claws instinctively. I must say my speed was much more impressive than I thought it would be! Even though I’m this small, I think I ran as much distance, if not more, that I would have in my human form in a second. But the damn monster of a chicken actually planned this to happen and suddenly turned around while trying to claw me with an actual round house kick! WHAT THE HELL KIND OF CHICKEN IS THIS?! In a reflex I avoided by jumping above it, and threw my small hands at his head to claw his eyes, but the bastard intercepted every of my attack with his large beak like parrying a sword using a dagger. Even though I was in the air for only 3 second before reaching the other side of the chicken, which now that I look close to it was covered in scars and had the eyes of an experienced warrior, we exchanged something like 20 attack in that short amount of time, I’m seriously impressed with my own capability here… My sisters were looking at the fight their eyes wide open, not even understanding what they were seeing anymore, and I can’t say I do either! I’m just following my instinct here!
“...ABWAK!” -Chicken
“Argh!” -Anthony
Shouting, the chicken kicked me in the guts, making my small body fly away, but quickly falling back on my feet I took back my stance, imitating a tiger’s stance I saw in a kung-fu movies… The problem? The chicken opened its wings while standing on one of its leg. Yes, he actually took a crane stance as if taunting me! What’s wrong with this thing?!
“T-Taming!” -Nina
Suddenly, as both me and the bastard chicken were glaring at each other, like an old western movie, Nina appeared next to it stretching her small hands in its direction while shouting her skill name… Oh right! She did have something like that!
“Ah… Sorry Daddy… To really tame something using that skill it first need to submit…” -Nina
“S-Submit?! That thing?! Okay, I try… But please go a little further away from the chicken, I’m not quite reassured when I see you just next to it.” -Anthony
Nodding she stood back with the rest of my little sisters, and thankfully, the chicken strangely didn’t attacked her even as she was just next to him, it most likely thought that she wasn’t a menace to him and didn’t want to show me any opening. Anyway, it seem that I will have to give that thing a beating one way or another… I didn’t want to use this thing and say such an embarrassing line loud enough but it seem that I don’t really have the luxury of minding something like that anymore…
“.......ABWAK!” -Chicken
Using the same kind of middle kick as last time I avoided it by crouching but the damn thing suddenly changed his kick in mid-hair into a axe kick! Which I made him retract at the last moment as I tried to cut it, and taking that opening I leapt at him, while shouting.
“Neko Slash!” -Anthony
As I used it information popped into my head and… Damn… I need to shout that before or while I swing… my ‘sword’.
“ABWAK!!!” -Chicken
“Buarg!” -Anthony
Shouting in turn his usual war cry, the chicken jumped into the air and did a volley, kicking my head as if it was a soccer ball… Making me fly awkwardly in the air, and make some strange noise as I got hit… Thanks to my cat like agility I fell back to my feet once again, and retook my stance, but damn that one hit hard! I’m still really dizzy from receiving it ‘head-on’.
“Antoto! A-Are you okay?! Should I heal you?!” -Miliana
Further away I could the worried voice from my sister, which was trying to restrain an infuriated Lorelei who was trying to join the fight.
“I-I’m alright! Only heal me if I get incapacitated or dangerously wounded please…” -Anthony
“ClookClookClookClook!” -Chicken
The bastard is laughing at me! Alright! You want a fight?! Fine then! I’m going to turn you into a damn roasted chicken!
“ONYA!” -Anthony
“ABWAK!” -Chicken
Kicking the air at the same time our legs came in contact making a loud slap from the shock, as they were locked together I took out my claw from my feet and jumped to the front while keeping my right leg glued to is, and using it as a platform I made a roundhouse kick while being in the air with my left leg, scratching him with my claw as he stepped back in a hurry to avoid it.
“....ABBBBWAAAKKKKKKK!!!” -Chicken
Roaring in rage to the sky, the chicken eyes were now showing his determination to fight me to the death! Likewise, I glared at him, locking my eyes into his ones, the tension between use rising as we slowly walked to the other. When we were so close our body were almost touching, and kept looking at each other in a dread long silence...
“NYAAAA! ONYAONYAONYAONYAONYAONYA!” -Anthony (Oraoraoraoraora)
“BWWAAA! BWAKBWAKBWAKBWAKBWAKBWAK!” -Chicken (Mudamudamudamuda)
Suddenly both of us sent a flurry of attack to the other, which were always parried and send again, only to be parried again, again and again. The process repeating itself and covering the both of us in blood little by little as we scratched each other body in this intense exchange! Seriously, who would have thought the fight between a small human cat and a chicken could get this intense?! Now that we were so close to each other, I noticed another strange thing about the beast, he have a pretty deep scar just below the beak… Oh! So it’s really a rooster! He must have lost his wattle in a fight. But it’s not because your are only half of a rooster that I'm going to hold back!
“OOONYA!” -Anthony
Making a fist with my right pa… Hand, after retracting my claw, I jumped to the front surprising the beast as he didn’t expect that move, close to his now open chest, I punched him with all my strength.
“BABWAKKK!” -Rooster
Taking the full brunt of that punch, the bastard rooster put a knee(?) to the floor while breathing heavily. It look like my punch have more power than I expected… But it’s not like the beast were going to give up that easily! He tried to stand, but not giving him the time to, I dropkicked him with all the strength I had in me, making him roll on the floor for a moment. But I also received some damage because of that… Mental one that is, since my little sisters were looking at me with disgust as I hit someone down.
“H-Hey! That bastard wouldn’t have hesitated to do the same!” -Anthony
“That was low Daddy... You’re bullying poor mister chicken.” -Nina
“Yeah, Daddy doesn’t have any Samuraï honor.” -Mina
Urg! T-They sure know where to hit! Even Miliana and Lorelei were smiling awkwardly at me, as if they had a hard time to stomach what I just did… MY LIFE ON THE GODDAMN LINE HERE! I’m going to cry if you continue to look at me this way!
“Bwakk… Bwakbwak… Babwakkkk…” -Rooster
Most certainly sir rooster… No seriously it feel like he’s really talking but it’s not like I can understand a word he’s saying! And I seriously wanted to attack as he was getting up again, but I think I would lost what little is left of the respect my sisters have for me… Slowly I approached him while keeping my stance, who turned into one that was a mix of a boxer stance and the tiger stance I was using before, but which also felt strangely right at the moment... I wonder why?
Congratulation!
Skill: Neko Killer Paw of Fury Mastery - (P)
Was acquired!
… What? I do guess it explain the weird stance, but that really was out of nowhere now wasn’t it?! Maybe we can learn new skill by practicing something linked to our class? Well they do say that Samuraïs also created some bare-handed martial arts. Even if the name is yet again quite embarrassing. Thankfully that window didn’t pop in my head in the middle of the fight, but I guess our break is ending here! The rooster was now back on its legs and in his eyes the will to fight was still quite there!
“I guess you need more of a beating then nya? Argh! Goddamnit why do I keep saying nya at random time?! It just made my cool line sound completely ridiculous!” -Anthony
The look of my little sisters gave me even more damage than before as they changed from disgust to pity…
““Daddy…”” -Nina & Mina
“No it’s okay… Please don’t say it…” -Anthony
“”... You’re rubbing your ear again.”” -Nina & Mina
GYAAAA! So embarrassing! I-I won’t forgive you for this you damn rooster! As I started to boil in rage, I charged the bastard while keeping my stance, in a somewhat smooth motion.
“ONYA!” -Anthony
“ABWAK!” -Rooster
Once again we kicked each other leg, but this time following my instinct I made something I didn’t expect possible coming from me. Jumping in a pirouette at the same time our ‘legs’ came in contact, in an instant I kicked his head in a axe kick, before making a combo by hitting it again with a roundhouse kick, then a straight punch and finishing it as gravity was pulling me down with an uppercut. Shaking in pain, the rooster finally fell to the floor and hit the ground at the same time my paw were back on it… HOW THE HELL DID I DO THAT?!
…
“”AWESOME!”” -Nina & Mina
Pumping their fists in the air, the twins were looking at me with stars in their eyes, while Lorelei and Miliana just had a blank look on their face, not believing what they just saw me doing. Well I must admit, that the mastery skill I just acquired proved itself much more incredible than I thought it be, I wonder just how strong I can become after training it…

“*Cough* Y-You should take this chance to tame him Ninya.” -Anthony
“Ah! Yes leave it to me Daddy nya!” -Nina
Nina rushed to the down chicken while Miliana quickly come to me to heal me, I did try to tell her I was okay and didn’t need her to heal me, but she didn’t hear any of it.
“Taming!” -Nina
As Nina activated her skill, the rooster body slowly started to glow for a moment, before the meek light surrounding him gather at his chest and transform itself into a red tribal like crest on it. Look like it worked.
“Milianya sis! Please heal ‘Mighty’, he’s in a lot of pain due to Daddy bullying.” -Nina
Hey! Now that she tamed him he became the victim here?! The bastard attacked us! And wait did she named him Mighty?! Like really?! Mighty the chicken?!
“W-Well, are you sure he won’t attack us again after I healed him?” -Miliana
Thank-you! Now that an expected reaction! The damn rooster only received a well deserved punishment!
“Yeah! Mighty will listen to me from now on, he’s not a bad guy anymore!” -Nina
Dear little sister… No matter how you look at it you forcefully enslaved him… But then again, the bad guy is the loser isn’t it?
“Alright, I believe you, I’ll heal mister Mighty then.” -Miliana
“Yay! Thank-you!” -Nina
Approaching the down beast, which was only twitching in pain right now, most likely on the border of unconsciousness, she stretched her hands in his direction.
“Heal!” -Miliana
As she used her skill the rooster body once again glowed, but this time you could see the scratch I gave him closing quickly, and as the glow disappeared he suddenly opened his eyes wide. Making Miliana shriek in surprise and take some distance, still not totally believing he became an ally. But not getting up and sitting in a ‘chicken’ like manner on the floor, he happily rubbed his head against Nina, which giggled happily at the sensation, before climbing on his back with Mina.
“Well, look like he won’t attack us again out of nowh… BUARG!” -Anthony
As I approached him with my guard down, he took this chance to headbut me, with enough force that I thought my paws were going to plant themselves into the floor.
“Bwak! Babwak!” -Mighty
“He say that now you two are even.” -Nina
… THAT DAMN BIRD! I’m so going to roast you one day! But since it would be childish to get angry here, I simply took it like an adult and ignored him, before walking to Miliana who looked a little exhausted.
“Are you okay Milianya?” -Anthony
“Y-Yeah, don’t worry Antoto… It’s true that I feel a little less energetic from using the skill, but I’m still quite fine nya.” -Miliana
Since nobody even mentioned the nya at the end of her sentence I would guess that were are strangely getting used to it. But no matter, from looking at her it’s clear that overusing those skills could become dangerous for us as we don’t know what they take from us each time we use them, most likely our vitality or something that directly affect it, but that also mean that if we use them above our limit then it could really kill us in the process from exhaustion. So I gave my little sisters a fair warning.
“Listen girls, I know that you must be quite excited by those active skills and the possibility they give you, but try to not use them too much! We don’t know the kind of effect it could have on us if we use them to much, am I clear?” -Anthony
“”Yesss!”” -Nina & Mina
The twin which were still on Mighty back answered me cheerfully, while Lorelei nodded in affirmation before adding.
“Yeah, not that I have any active ones either way, but I do think that using them recklessly is dangerous.” -Lorelei
Miliana who was sitting on a big tree root to rest a little nodded also in turn. At least it seem they got the message… I hope.
“A yes I forgot to tell you, by fighting barehanded I gained another skill, so I think it’s possible that by training in something linked to our class we can learn new one, for example maybe that Lorelei by carving stone could get a stone sculpting one. Well it’s only my theory, but from what happened to me in the fight I think it’s close to the truth.” -Anthony
“Oh! That explain why you were able to fight so well at the end! And so what is that skill exactly?” -Miliana
“Urg!...... Neko Killer Paw of Fury Mastery…” -Anthony
…
“”””Pft… NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”””” -Little sisters
Hey! Don’t laugh dammit!
“ClookClookClookClook!” -Mighty
Okay, that’s decided... I’m roasting that bastard!
