Chapter 91
The initiation began quite smoothly. I had already habitually poured into the circle exactly the amount of electro energy needed to pass the initiation. What is remarkable is that Djinn did not even wince when her body began to strengthen with the help of elemental energy. It is immediately obvious that it is not for nothing that she is considered one of the strongest knights of Mondstadt. Therefore, I stood relaxed next to her, while just in case, looking closely at how the energy flows through her body, so that in case of unforeseen problems I can help her in time.
"BOOM" - Suddenly, the front door was destroyed by a strong gust of wind, and the chips that flew in our direction were stopped by my infinity.
- What's going on here!!! - Varka yelled in anger. He looked really scary, around his figure with a naked two-handed sword, which was clearly not lower than the legendary rank, an anemo energy was swirling, which was ready to turn into a deadly weapon at any moment.
- Jean, don't leave the circle until the initiation is over. - I addressed the girl who was alarmed by what was happening. - I'll talk to the master myself.
- Girl, you better explain everything to me immediately, or I can't vouch for myself. - These not very loud words literally shone with murderous intent, but although he seemed incredibly strong, the pressure from Satoru Gojo was many times heavier, and he himself was clearly more dangerous.
- No need to worry, Master. The Jean is simply undergoing an electro initiation ritual. It will take no more than 10 minutes.
- Stop the ritual, - Varka ordered.
- No. - I refused without thinking. At the same time, I noted that knights of the Ordo Favonius had begun to gather on the street behind the master, fencing off the territory from onlookers. Moreover, among them there were many owners of the eye of God, whom I had not seen before.
- In that case, you left me no choice. - the master said decisively and instantly appeared next to me and struck the flat of his sword towards my head.
- Hm? You can distort space? - the man was a little surprised, seeing me staring at the hovering sword without moving, and then he grinned. - But even such people can be dealt with!
Suddenly, he slashed the blade downwards towards my leg. Seeing that the sword blade simply ignored the infinity barrier, I pulled out a two-handed sword from my inventory and blocked the blow at a tangent.
"You know, this is actually the Jinn's house," I said reproachfully, looking at the hole made by Varka's blow.
"I'll compensate her for all the damage," the man replied, striking me again under the acceleration of the anemo.
- You could have just not broken her personal things. - I tried to carefully block the simply absurdly fast blows for a two-handed sword, so as not to harm the situation too much.
- If I wanted to break her things, I wouldn't hold back! - As if contradicting his words, this time, along with the blow of the blade, a strong gust of wind hit me, which simply destroyed the wall behind me.
- You're going to smash this house to pieces, you old geezer! - I exclaimed, erecting a geo-barrier around the Jean in one motion.
- I'm old?! - Varka seemed offended. - Well, it's a small thing, she asked for it.
After, one might even say, a playful sword fight, the sharp explosion of the master's strength and speed was unexpected for me, and only at the last moment did I manage to put my sword in such a way as to block the blow, but even so, like a cannonball, I flew out of the room straight into the sky, where I ended up standing with the help of infinity.
"That was a good hit," I praised, starting to gradually descend down as if on invisible steps.
- Not a bad blow? Ha-ha-ha. - laughed Varka, emerging from the half-destroyed house. - It was not a blow.
- What a blow! - a man's voice rang out above my head. Behind him, a ghostly copy of Andrius formed from anemo and cryo that had appeared out of nowhere.
The impact was so strong that a ten-meter crater formed in the square below, and the knights surrounding us were thrown back by a gust of cold wind. Silence fell over the surrounding area, and the knights who had risen to their feet peered intently into the dust raised by the impact.
- Master, - a quiet but threatening voice rang out, and the sky was covered with thunderclouds. - A little more and I will be forced to take you seriously!
With a sharp gust of wind, I dispersed the rising dust, allowing those around me to see me completely unharmed, surrounded by a geo-shield, and in my hands, instead of a two-handed sword, rested a Bow.
- Hmm, do you think a couple of lightning bolts can scare me? - Varka chuckled, and a crushing energy formed from a combination of Anemo and Cryo began to pour out of him. - Forcing the guards standing around us to take a couple of steps back.
- To scare? - I grinned, allowing my energy to also burst out, accompanied by lightning - no, but to reason with them.
It was clear that this time the skirmish would be serious and clearly destructive. The nearby civilians and knights watched with bated breath, waiting for it to begin.
"bzzzzt,BOOM"
Suddenly, lightning shot out from the destroyed house, and the next moment, the Master's face kissed the Earth. It acted like a switch and the clouds parted, and people were finally able to breathe air when the pressure disappeared.
- I see, the initiation went even better than Djinn expected. - I smiled, but seeing the cold fury in the girl's eyes, I made the only right choice and pointing my finger at Varka rising from the ground, I said hastily. - It's all him!
The master even froze for a moment from this, and then, having looked at the destruction that had been caused, jumped up. "Djinn, I'll explain everything…"
- Stop! - the girl stopped the magistrate. - To begin with, you will compensate for all the lost property... - I nodded my head approvingly at these words until I heard the continuation. - Both of them. In the meantime, we will go to the headquarters and talk there like civilized people.
- Umm, wait, Jeanne, I didn't destroy anything, I was just defending myself! - I shouted, panicking a little, running after the girl who had left in the direction of the guild.
