Elsewhere, Kireina landed a strong uppercut on Tenohira, knocking his head upward! He stumbled back, and grinned, looking at her through his messy hair. He used his thumb to push one of his nostrils closed, then exhaled, shooting blood from the other one to clear it.

“There’s nothin’ I love more…than a fight to the death!” Tenohira said, shaking as he lifted his fists back up, “After all, if you don’t try to kill who you’re fightin’...it’s not a real fight, is it?!”

Kireina cracked her knuckles, “You’re one hell of a freak, dude.” She said, rolling her shoulder. “Maybe if I hit you hard enough, it’ll knock your marbles back in!”

With that, she moved in and threw a punch at Tenohira’s face, only for him to duck under it, and punch her in the chest, knocking her back! He then threw 4 quick punches into her face! Kireina regained her footing, and lifted her arm, elbowing the top of his head! His face slammed down into the ground, cracking it, and Kireina reared back, kicking his chest and knocking him back! As Tenohira got up, he felt something heavy hit his gut! Kireina had moved with surprising speed, slamming a punch right into his stomach!

“What the hell are you so surprised about? People who focus on their muscles naturally have muscular legs too!” Kireina remarked, patting her thigh for emphasis. “Of course with strong legs, even someone as big as us could move with explosive speed!”

Tenohira suddenly hit Kireina with his elbow, knocking her head back! Kireina was shocked, he was faster than before! Not only that, he hit harder too! She stumbled, her head spinning a little bit.

“You don’t use your ability huh? I don’t mind that at all!” Tenohira said, rubbing his elbow. “But I happen to like mine. With every hit I land, whether it’s blocked or not, my speed and strength go up! It’s such a rush!”

Blood sprayed through the air as Fumetsu stumbled, having been cut across his chest! Cutter stood across from him, standing a notable distance away with his twin katanas. He swung at the air, and a cut appeared on Fumetsu’s leg, chopping it off at the thigh! Fumetsu scoffed, and healed his body, restoring it like it hadn’t been damaged. He stood up straight,

“I get it now, your ability…” Fumetsu began, “When you swing your blade, you can cut regardless of distance. Right?”

Cutter sharpened his gaze, “Knowing that won’t help you. Nothing stops my blade from cutting.”

He lifted both his swords and swung in an X-shape! Fumetsu reacted, raising his blade to block at the center of the slash, only for the slashes to appear on his chest regardless! What’s more, his katana was cleaved apart!

“You poor thing. I’ll put you out of your misery.” Cutter said, readying his blades. “Tomoe Gozen…Sasaki Kojiro.”

He rapidly swung his blades, dicing Fumetsu’s body apart into hundreds of pieces in an instant!

“Even with Regeneration, a manipulator can’t heal their Brain.” Cutter said, finality in his voice as he sheathed his blades. “Farewell.”

Cutter turned away, then felt a tug on his hip. He turned back to see Fumetsu grabbing one of his katanas!

“I’m not healing. I’m reversing the damage.” Fumetsu growled. “But for what’s worth…that hurt like a son of a bitch.”

He kicked Cutter in the stomach, lifting him off the ground! Then, in a fluid motion, he pulled Cutter’s katana from its sheath and swung it in a spiral motion! Cutter landed on his feet, and as he stood up, he felt something hot in his side…he looked down to see his abdomen had been stabbedt!

“What’s the matter? Don’t know how to regenerate?” Fumetsu questioned, sarcastically. “Figures. A lot of manipulators neglect certain techniques in exchange for ones that compliment their Ability. You must’ve focused solely on Physical Enhancement.”

“...Do it…finish me…as a Swordsman…” Cutter said between breaths. His vision was blurry, his body starting to feel numb. He knew he was done for, and only hoped for an honorable death, as befits a swordsman.

“...Nah.” Fumetsu said, pulling out his pistol and pointing it at Cutter’s head.

With that, he fired, shooting Cutter through the forehead! Hyuzu’s head perked up, but he otherwise didn’t react. Fumetsu quickly turned to Konchu, who was struggling to fight against Dangan. His constant stream of Aura Bullets was preventing her from getting in close, and he was precise enough to shoot down any of her insects! Fumetsu ran in, gripping the new Katana as he dashed forwards. Dangan glanced at him, and simply fired a bullet at him with his pinky. The bullet hit Fumetsu through the stomach, but he only briefly stumbled and lunged forwards!

“Oh-” Dangan said quickly in surprise. He stepped back, narrowly avoiding the blade as it grazed his cheek! He whistled sharply, and smiled again. “Not bad! Hey, isn't that Cutter’s?”

Dangan looked over, seeing Cutter dead on the ground. His face didn’t falter at first, his eyebrows barely lowering, “Is he dead? Aww, man. Y’know, I was kinda hoping Hogo would die.”

Fumetsu lunged forwards while Dangan’s head was turned, aiming to stab him in the sternum! Dangan turned his body to avoid it, and punched Fumetsu in the liver, making his muscles spasm! He held out all five fingers, charging a bullet in each one. Suddenly, Konchu grabbed him from behind, wrapping her legs around his neck!

“Oh! I haven’t touched a woman’s legs before!” Dangan said, his tone remarkably unserious. “I kinda like this.”

“Yeah. Who wouldn’t?” Konchu replied, as large stingers grew from under her sleeves!

As she swung her arms downwards, Dangan leapt forwards, slamming himself headfirst into a tree, and by extension slamming Konchu as well! It made her release her grip! He caught her by the neck, and held a 2-finger gun up to her chin. He smiled as he looked her in the eyes.

“Are you single?” He questioned, as he charged the aura bullet.

“...I dunno…” Konchu replied, a grin spreading on her face slowly. “Is your mom?”

As Dangan went to fire, a fist connected with his face. Everything was silent for just one second, until he was sent flying with a loud BOOM!

“MACH PUNCH!” Juryoku yelled, bleeding from his head and torso! “HAHA! What a rush!!!”

Juryoku’s whole body vibrated as he grinned, watching Dangan stand up. Konchu turned to Fumetsu, who was starting to get up as well,

“Jeez, taking your time aren’t ya, Patches~?” Konchu questioned mockingly.

“He hit me in the liver…” Fumetsu growled. “Try it sometime…”

Fumetsu shakily got to his feet, and turned to her, “Go help Julia. Her Aura is waning fast. That robot guy is dangerous, get him away from the Estate.”
