"They're here. Get ready." October said in a deep voice, flames appearing in his hands.
"Brother October! The item is gone!" February suddenly shouted.
"What!" October immediately turned his head back. The tear of the goddess in the glass cabinet had actually disappeared. How was this possible?!
"Wait, on the roof!" October sensed something. The flames in his hands surged, directly breaking through the ceiling above, and then the flames rushed up. Since Asagami Fujino had taken April away, October had been very self-critical, blaming himself for not being able to protect his siblings. These days, he could be said to have been constantly training his Seventh Sense. Coupled with the stimulation of Asagami Fujino's arrival, October had made significant progress in applying the Seventh Sense in a short period. This change was originally supposed to happen only after meeting Ryusei, but it had been advanced by quite some time due to the appearance of Asagami Fujino.
After October rushed up, the others also jumped up one after another. This was not difficult for them, as they had awakened the Sixth Sense or even the Seventh Sense. However, the fastest was March. With April's departure, March was devastated. His frantic training to become stronger meant his progress in these few days even surpassed October's efforts. Asagami Fujino could be said to have pushed the improvement of March and October's strength a great step forward.
"September, long time no see." October said, flames burning behind him, looking at the familiar yet somewhat strange September before him.
"Yeah, long time no see, October." September looked at October with complex eyes. If it weren't for that incident, she would not have betrayed the Black Moon Iron Cavalry and might have stayed with them forever.
"Long time no see, Sister September." After the other members of the Black Moon Iron Cavalry jumped up, their expressions were different when they saw September.
"Long time no see, everyone." September looked at each familiar person, feeling quite emotional.
"September, come back. This is Mr. K's order. Although I don't know how you took the tear of the goddess just now, you can't escape now." October said, the flames behind him surging, ready to strike at any time: "Surrender, September."
"That won't do." September smiled, and countless points of light emerged around her body. The light points gathered, forming many light swords beside her.
"Seventh Sense?!" October looked at September in surprise: "So that's how it is. September, you have already found your elemental stone. No wonder you were able to take the item away right under our noses."
"Sigh." September sighed softly, looking at October helplessly and saying: "October, I don't want to fight you, but I will absolutely not go back."
"Then I'm sorry, September. Mr. K's order is to bring you back no matter what."
While speaking, October had already rushed towards September with the flames behind him. The light swords beside September also flew towards October.
The flames also condensed into swords to meet the incoming light swords, canceling each other out.
"September, give up." October had already arrived in front of September, the flames moving towards her, vaguely tending to form a cage to trap her.
"Damn October!" September cursed inwardly. She had just acquired the ability and was not very proficient at it. Compared to October, the gap was still too large. If she used combat techniques, October had flame protection, so she wouldn't be able to take advantage at all; instead, she would be restrained. Moreover, the time before her ability disappeared was almost up.
"It's over, September." October seized the opportunity of September's distraction. The flame cage was instantly completed, locking September inside the flames. October also deliberately controlled the temperature so that the flames would not harm September.
"I didn't expect to see you in this state as soon as I got back."
At the familiar voice, September reacted instantly. It was that pervert!
Ignoring the others, Asagami Fujino appeared in mid-air, accompanied by a maid and a very beautiful woman who looked like an elf.
"It's you!" Seeing her, March immediately rushed out, shouting: "Give April back!"
"Do you think shouting makes you stronger?" Asagami Fujino looked speechless. Without any movement, the rushing March was directly sent flying. May hurriedly ran over to catch March and didn't let him fall.
"If you had awakened the Seventh Sense, it would be worth watching, but as you are now, forget it." Saying this, Asagami Fujino looked at September, who was tied up by the flames: "Are you an idiot? Why fight if you can't win? It would be much more exciting to just take the thing and run away."
"Uh..." September turned her head away in embarrassment. It was indeed her own fault. If she had just run away, October would not have been able to stop her at all, and he wouldn't even have been able to see her. There wouldn't have been so much trouble now.
"Alright, it's time to go back."
Completely ignoring the ugly expressions of the Black Moon Iron Cavalry, Asagami Fujino waved her hand, and the flames trapping September directly disappeared.
October looked at Asagami Fujino. He had thought that his strength had increased and he could close the gap between himself and Asagami Fujino, but it seemed that was not the case; the distance between the two was like the universe.
