Shigeru Sanada could clearly feel the stinging pain in his neck; the sharp blade had cut his skin but hadn't severed his blood vessels. This made him immediately stop all movement and stand still.
Not far away, Ren Yanagi was also stunned by what had just happened. Especially the bright red mark on Shigeru Sanada's neck, which made him dare not make any move. Just then, footsteps broke the silence.
Harunobu Kazama and his adjutant Kyoko Fujibayashi finally appeared. As soon as he arrived, he saw Shigeru Sanada being held captive by Yunyi.
"I didn't expect to meet you on such an occasion, Second Lieutenant Yunyi of the Great Asian Alliance. May I ask what brings you to our brigade's base?" Harunobu Kazama asked in a deep voice.
Yunyi's gaze fell on Harunobu Kazama, but only lingered for a moment before shifting to Kyoko Fujibayashi beside him.
"You're the granddaughter of Old Man Kudou, the ' Electron Sorceress '?" Yunyi asked.
Feeling as if she were being stared at by a ferocious beast, Kyoko Fujibayashi tensed up under Yunyi's gaze. Despite her discomfort, she forced herself to reply, "Yes, I am Kyoko Fujibayashi."
"Hehe, if you had shown up sooner, the person next to me wouldn't have embarrassed themselves like this." Yunyi chuckled.
His voice had barely faded when the figure vanished from the spot.
The soldiers present couldn't keep up with Yunyi's speed at all. But just because they couldn't keep up didn't mean that Harunobu Kazama, a disciple of Yakumo Kokonoe, couldn't.
As a disciple of the ninjutsu master Yakumo Kokonoe, Harunobu Kazama is not only skilled in Ancient Magic but also quite accomplished in taijutsu. Yunyi's outstretched hand towards Kyoko Fujibayashi was deflected by Harunobu Kazama's arm. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shigeru Sanada and Ren Yanagi also launched their attacks.
Like Tatsuya Shiba, Ren Yanagi possessed the ability of " Flash Cast," and his magic was fast and swift. Unfortunately, his magic had just taken shape when it vanished into thin air like a bubble.
Harunobu Kazama, who was blocking Kyoko Fujibayashi's path, was also forced back by Yunyi's longsword. He had intended to protect Kyoko Fujibayashi behind him and retreat together, but at some point, a magic circle emitting a faint light appeared under Kyoko Fujibayashi's feet, completely binding her in the center of the circle.
"Didn't Tatsuya tell you that the only way to defeat me is through physical skills?" After subduing Kyoko Fujibayashi, Yunyi looked at Shigeru Sanada and Ren Yanagi, who were still in a state of surprise, and said.
" Fujibayashi, I've heard of your skills long ago. I happen to need someone skilled in these techniques, so I'll trouble you to come with me. Rest assured, for Tatsuya's sake, I won't harm you outside the battlefield."
"Alright, this isn't the place to talk, let's go." Yunyi placed his hand on Kyoko Fujibayashi's shoulder. The next instant, the Imaginary Number Gate suddenly appeared. As the gate opened, Yunyi pushed Kyoko Fujibayashi through it.
The moment the Imaginary Number Gate appeared, Harunobu Kazama and Ren Yanagi rushed over. Both were incredibly fast, and their attacks were perfectly coordinated. However, their punches struck the magical barrier that had opened up beside Yunyi. Apart from making their own arms ache, they had no other effect.
Yunyi smiled and stepped into the Void Gate. The gate closed immediately, and the light of Psions scattered into the air.
The abduction of their people from their encampment was a tremendous humiliation for the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion. Yet, when faced with Yunyi, they felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
After dismissing the surrounding soldiers, Harunobu Kazama took out his communication terminal and dialed Tatsuya Shiba's number. The situation was urgent, and he couldn't afford to worry about encrypted communication at this point.
The Shiba Residence.
Tatsuya Shiba saw the call from Harunobu Kazama, he was somewhat puzzled. What did Harunobu Kazama want with him at this time? Did he want him to go into battle?
But as soon as he connected the call and heard Harunobu Kazama's words, his expression immediately turned serious.
" Kazama, did this just happen?" Tatsuya Shiba asked.
"Yes, just a few minutes ago, Fujibayashi was taken away by Yunyi. Ren Yanagi and I were unable to protect Fujibayashi from him," Harunobu Kazama said in a deep voice.
"I understand, I'll contact them immediately..."
However, before Tatsuya Shiba could finish speaking, a door appeared out of thin air in front of him. When the door opened, Yunyi and Kyoko Fujibayashi appeared in the living room of the Shiba residence.
Seeing Tatsuya Shiba's slightly surprised expression, Yunyi chuckled and said, "Is that Harunobu Kazama on the other end of the phone? Tell him his adjutant is fine, I don't plan to do anything to her, just tell him to wait patiently."
Yunyi's words were picked up by the microphone and clearly transmitted to Harunobu Kazama the communication. When he heard Yunyi's voice, his brows immediately furrowed.
If he had previously been wondering why Yunyi had kidnapped Kyoko Fujibayashi, he now had to believe that Yunyi genuinely needed Kyoko Fujibayashi's skills. Otherwise, why would he bring someone he had gone to so much trouble to kidnap to Tatsuya Shiba's side?
Tatsuya Shiba relayed the message again, and after Harunobu Kazama said something, the two hung up the phone.
After setting the terminal aside, Tatsuya Shiba turned his gaze back to Yunyi.
" Yunyi, what exactly are you planning to do?" Tatsuya Shiba frowned deeply, completely unable to predict Yunyi's next move.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to borrow your facilities for a bit."
"I received intelligence that Gu Jie, the leader of ' Blanche, ' has arrived in Japan and is currently in Tokyo. Tatsuya, you should know very well how much I hate that guy, which is why I asked Fujibayashi, who is skilled at tracking with electronic devices, for help. However, I don't have such good equipment at home, so I'll need to borrow yours. Tatsuya, you won't be stingy enough to refuse, will you?" Yunyi asked.
Tatsuya Shiba raised an eyebrow. What could he say? Refuse? Who knew what this guy would do next? In that case, he might as well go along with him and lend him the equipment.
"I understand. Come with me, I'll take you there," said Tatsuya Shiba.
Just then, a sound came from the stairs. Miyuki Shiba hurried downstairs; she had vaguely heard Yunyi's voice upstairs, so she rushed down. When she saw Yunyi and the person standing beside him, she immediately exclaimed in surprise, " Yunyi, what are you doing here with Fujibayashi- nee?"
