AKAME ASSASINATION (9)
There was now a sudden panic all over the ground floor of the Aquatic blue station. Apparently everyone realized that maybe they should start running from the girl with a screen for a face.
SLICE!
"Forty."
SLICE!
"Forty one."
SLICE.
"Forty two… yep that's enough."
Nina's ability:
PLAYING CARDS: FULL DECK OF EMOTIONS!
Was about to be activated, although some conditions that needed to be met but I'll let her explain it when the time comes.
"Come out, come out where ever you are little biscuit." Nina called out, "I've prepared a nice plate to serve you in."
They got off the back of the smoke golem and continued to walk. Most of the people who weren't instantaneously crushed by the falling rubble of decapitated by Nina's cards managed to escape by running away through the nearest exits to the next rooms.
Now Nina stood alone in a room with the floor was covered by smoke, her heels made a 'click!' sound as they made a move.
"You bitch!"
Nina turned, "How rude!" She exclaimed back at Jericho who stood with nothing but a rod in hand.
"Cut the bullshit and tell me who you are." She was stalling.
"?" Nina stood still, "My name is Nina blight of the house of blight, I am a blood type A+ and I am currently ** years old."
"Blight? You mean the house of assassins?" Jericho was a little taken aback by the sudden willingness to reveal themselves.
"My technique is called PLAYING CARDS: FULL DECK OF EMOTIONS. It enables me to use 4 key abilities:
1) QUEEN OF HEARTS: LOVE ZOMBIE.
2) ACE OF SPADES: ANGRY FORTUNE.
3) JACK OF CLUBS: SAD MAJORITY.
4) JOKER: SADISTIC CRIES.
However, for this fight I only intend on using the first and the third abilities I've mentioned."
"Hey!"
"What?"
"Why are you telling me all this?"
Nina's face turned into a question mark, "You asked didn't you?"
"No I didn't."
"Anyway, the two I'm going to use are Queen of hearts: Love zombie and Jack of clubs sad majority."
"Are you listening to me?"
"So how the techniques work is…"
'Why is she explaining her technique to me? Is it perhaps the condition for its activation. If so I better make the first move, I can't hold this thing for long.'
RUSH!
"In any case that's how it works, got it?" Nina asked, but Jericho was already on her way with the rod, "Did you even listen to anything I said."
"I know me listening is probably the condition to its activation."
SWOOSH!
Jericho swung the rod but Nina moved backwards, "What condition?"
"Don't play dumb, I wasn't born yesterday." She swung again this time the rod landed on the floor. She swung up and ground began rising.
"How are you using different types of alchemy?"
"I don't have to answer that."
Jericho swung again and this time more of the ground was in use here, spikes coming from the walls, some from the ground raising the benches.
EARTH ALCHEMY: CREATION GENESIS!
Earth alchemy is the type of alchemy used in creation, apparently, in any case with enough transmutation circles she's able to create a model of anything with the rocks embedded in the tiles.
"I don't get how you're doing that, but it seems fun. Let's start playing for reals."
GRAB!
Jericho felt something grab her ankle, she thought it was a smoke soldier so she tried hitting it with the end of her rod. But it felt more squishy, and with the smoke covering the floor she couldn't tell what it was.
"Give me a KISS!" The man lifted his head from the smoke and puckered his lips.
"The fuck you mean give you a kiss?"
FWAP!
Jericho knocked him on the head, a little harder than she intended. But even then the man just wouldn't let go.
"That's my first ability. Queen of hearts: love zombie."
Jericho tuned Nina's voice out while they were explaining, but for the sake of your entertainment dear reader I shall tell you what love zombie and sad majority do.
It is a manipulation type fragment ability that enables Nina to control anyone who the card has cut, whether fully or just a little bit. However Nina doesn't see live human beings as 'toys' so for her own sanity she kills them (Yes, she explained all of this). After the murder the victim is injected with with her F.E which then mixes with the victim's life energy and she is able to control them. While both of them are manipulation Sad majority leans more to emission.
In fact the entire deck of cards she has at her disposal works like this.
PLAYING CARDS: FULL DECK OF EMOTIONS! Is a fullbringer ability that has Nina pulling out certain cards with specific properties. Some of the cards already have different abilities in them, but Nina can and normally does switch abilities from time to time.
If a deck has 52 cards then it would be safe to say Nina has 52 abilities at her disposal. However, it should be noted that she doesn't normally use the entire deck. She only has all of them when she need to activate the technique. But in reality she only uses the 4 main abilities that she's mentioned.
This is because normally the human brain has a small spot designated for fragment energy creation known as the black box. This black box can only accommodate a maximum of 2 techniques or sometimes 3 if the person has enough fragment capacity. When it is 2 the storage is about 50-50 when it is three it is about 33.3-33.3-33.3. Sometimes a main technique may dominate.
Fullbringer techniques try to replicate the phenomenon of the black box thus with 52 abilities that would mean a ratio of 1.923076923 per card. Which isn't ideal in a combat oriented space since the ratio is directly proportional to the output.
As such she uses 4 abilities, but out of the 4 only 2 are her true specialty.
Queen of hearts: love zombie.
Jack of spades: Sad majority.
Mostly because she's the one that created them, as such they have a special place in her heart.
"Let's start playing for reals."
