When she entered the room, she saw expensive furniture within the living room and a group of people sitting on the couch around the table. Cards were piled on the table with some of them staring at the cards in their own hands. Yet, the moment the door of the room opened, their attention was shifted to it and they saw Elizabeth and Rudy standing there.  "A newcomer?" Suddenly, a voice fell on Elizabeth's ears and made her flinch in the next heartbeat. Meanwhile, Rudy sighed before he clapped his hands and a transparent barrier with him at the center expanded throughout the room in a few seconds.  A glowing humanoid purple could be seen in the previous spot where there was nothing. Seeing the unknown presence, Elizabeth backed away with wariness while the purple fig

Half an hour after following Erna's lead, both of them arrived at some sort of Italian restaurant within a building that was off limits, even for the esper. Yet, with Erma's influence, somehow they both managed to get inside and the sight within brings back the memory of when Elizabeth accompanied Ellie to some family's gathering in the past.  "Looks not bad right? The food won't be a disappointment, I assure you." With a smug smile on her face, Erna leaned her hand with her hand as she gazed at Elizabeth.  "How do you know this kind of place? Why are they only allowed to get here?" probed Elizabeth while she looked around. Observing the expensive decorations littered around the room, along with a bottle of champagne and bread that looked pricey and delicious no ma

"So we should be waiting until at least midnight?" A dissatisfied voice sounded throughout the room and made Kevin twitch his ears for a second. The urge to sigh bubbled within before he suppressed it and turned to look at the familiar face that uttered the complaint.  "What else could we do? Besides, this ain't that bad if we talk about our time in the desert." After Kevin mentioned the word desert, his counterpart's face grimaced in the next second before another voice appeared.  "Everyone said that I'm the one who wants fancy stuff, but here you are complaining about waiting a little, Rudy." "I'm not complaining!" When his name was called out,

"Shoot!" When that word echoed, incessant spitting flames ensued from all of the guns held by the soldiers. Yet, instead of seeing their enemy having countless holes on their body, a transparent blue barrier stood tall between the bombardment and their foe. Causing countless ripples all around the barrier without any signs for it to fall apart.  "E-Esper!" "Bring out the DGs!" "Keep shooting and make him stay on the spot!" Series of orders ensued to the soldiers as they kept sending hail of bullets to the lone wizard. Watching the commotion, the latter smiled while he felt a slight breeze pass by him. Silently, he guessed that his teammates had moved t

Outside of the base. Bullets whistled in the air as multiple deafening eruptions echoed throughout the once tranquil night. Stench of iron drifted in the air and soldiers scattered around the place, taking cover with some of them having their guts spilled open, holes on part of their bodies, or even cuts and bruises when trying to cling to dear life.  Dying screams filled the place while shout of orders curses flowed with no sign of stopping. Their marching opponents already hid themselves in good locations, bringing more challenge than the soldiers had expected. Even though more attention and reinforcements were directed to this battlefield, the pressure from their enemies was anything but becoming lighter. In fact, it was almost mind boggling as some of them realized how their comrades in arms were dying in droves just as fast
