Using the now-open room to move, she executed a backflip and her heel shank into the hind brain of a woman who dropped down onto the floor like a sack of potatoes. Out of the 15 people who came to surround her, 8 were already knocked out, while the remaining 7 continued to pressure her. The assailants were now moving way better, even in a wide alley; a brawl with one and a half dozen people is cramped.
But now it's spacious enough for Rin to attempt her escape, and she promptly does, but is easily encircled again. The group is now showing a surprising amount of teamwork and is methodically suppressing her. Well, the problem is that at the end of the day, it's a group of trained and grown men and women ganging up on a little girl. She had managed to hold her own based on technique and reinforcement, but even with reinforcement, the developing body of a relatively short girl could overpower an adult male.
The butler was a severe threat to her, as when she tried to block him, she was punched off her feet and thrown meters back, along with a fist-shaped burn on her forearm. The itch of the burn on her arm was nothing compared to the pain her crest often gave her. Still, the sudden stinging distracted her enough for the butler to take advantage of the moment and execute a fierce punch to her gut, forcing her to block haphazardly, which resulted in a snap echoing in her ear as she was sent flying.
Forced off her feet, she skidded back and tripped over the knocked-out form of a man who had been shot with her curse before. Cussing her luck, she stood up and took her stance to counter the incoming golden fists, but suddenly she felt a searing pain in her thighs, which made her stance collapse and receive the glowing fist in her guts.
The little girl folded like a kite as she collided with the wall of a house. She staggered and pulled out the Swiss knife that was stabbed into her thigh, leaving blood oozing from her body with a squelching sound at her mouth alongside her wound. That punch into her spleen had already disoriented her, and the shockwave made her nearly bite her tongue off.
Even in her nearly incapacitated state, she blocked the incoming punch with a thud, but her injured muscles made her legs shaky, putting her at a severe disadvantage, which only worsened further when the men she had knocked out at the start began to stir and wake up. The odds nearly returned to the beginning with her being worse to wear.
While blocking twenty, dodging fifty and taking thirty per cent of hits, Rin was getting worn out, but a magic crest paired with her top-class od capacity made her function properly even in this condition, as her body, especially her arm, began glowing with magic circuits. But she was restrained with multiple men holding her still while her skin blazed. The blood loss had made her delirious, while she heard the rambling of our Mr. "gentlemanly" butler.
"You should have obliged from the start, but I don't blame you. It's not your fault but the fault of your uncivilised lineage."
"What have they made our organisation into? Lord Trambelio must have gone blind to allow the inclusion of these things into our esteemed community"
Hearing this, her eyes further darkened as she remembered a lesson from the self-defence classes, and she remembered the half-crippled man speaking as he stuck his walking cane into the floor.
"Mercy to enemies is cruelty to thy self, numerous magi have lost their lives due to assuming themselves to be in control."
"Always finish off your enemy, and then you can ponder. Interrogating a spellcaster and searching a dead man`s workshop could be the difference between life and death."
A blast of mana went off as the butler was preparing some form of knockout drug, and one of Rin`s fingers was mangled after the ring she put on it had exploded and freed her arms. The now free left hand glowed eerily red as she pointed it to her right side and fired blasts of finn shot, which looked a lot more material compared to the previous ethereal appearance.
A few of the men, reacting quickly, turned over to take the curse and let their comrades carry on their place, but this time the result varied like heaven and earth. One woman hit by a bullet in the face had a hole ploughed through his head as her brain splattered on the man beside her. who released a bansheesque scream and turned around to witness similar cases happening around him, only to hear a swishing sound followed by his vision turning black as his head turned 240 degrees from the girl's kick.
Rin drew her fang and chopped at the neck of the incoming man, only to have it blocked by a blazing punch from the butler, screaming bloody murder. The strength of the man suddenly increased to twice that of the previous, and Rin`s wrist snapped. Blocking another savage punch, she was thrown up into the air, for which she retaliated by throwing half a dozen gems into the air that landed like meteors and unleashed carnage on the small alley as well as broke whatever bound field these people had set up.
Of the original, only 6 goons remained, with the rest either crying in pain or having embraced death. Now her vision was swimming while she was on the verge of unconsciousness as she fell, but instead of the expected pain of colliding with the ground, she felt mattress-like softness, and the last thing she saw before going unconscious was silvery slime and a flash of blond hair.

....
In the city, shirou ran around like a headless chicken chasing after clues and fueling the rumour of a dagur having risen from the grave to take revenge on the human traffickers. While the criminals and our protagonist alike were scattered around in a corner of the city, inside an apartment, a faint smell of blood prevailed.
In the chair, the blond young man sat with a similarly blond woman standing behind him. He looked way better now, compared to his previous malnourished form. Now clad in branded accessories and a hoodie, he looked like someone who had suddenly walked into wealth and now was trying too hard to show off that he felt he was screaming, "I am rich, notice me!". He locked eyes with another blond man standing in front of him, but with a way lighter shade of hair and about 25 years of age.
Locking eyes with the man who was standing stiff as a board, with every muscle quivering as his eyes filled with tears of terror and helplessness, the sitting young man said
"So, William, I said that I would overlook what you did until now if you stayed off my sister, but it seems you are born severely retarded."
With this, his eyes flashed, and William`s mouth moved, and he pleaded
" sorry! sorry! RAY! I made a mistake this time. Please forgive me this once. I will never repeat it; this was a drunken mistake. I was high when I did it."
"So, you had the guts to ask her if she remembers the shape of your dick was a drunken mistake", screamed Ray with his veins bulging as he locked eyes with William, whose eyes were moving here and there and were looking behind Ray. he continued
"I forgave you after you raped my sister beside me on my sick bed, and I, yes, I! Being the bigger person, forgave you for the sake of your father, but what did you DO!!"
"I am sorry! hey! Ray look at me, ray look he-"
Screamed William, but Ray turned and looked back into the kitchen, where a woman in her early 40s stood with her finger on the trigger of a pistol, aiming at Ray`s head. Ray`s pupils flashed white, and his eyes glowed with blue light, and the woman froze. Then he said
"Well, well, well, isn't it, Mrs 200 guilders. Aren't you going to offer us 200 guilders again, as compensation for your son`s behaviour?"
"What did you say that day?" The woman`s face twisted in rage, but she was unable to express anything except shivering as if undergoing tetanus.
"Opps, you can`t answer like that, hence I will say it. "Pay her 200 and move on; even prostitutes are better than her."
Said Ray as he menacingly moved towards the woman, only for william to scream
"Say the fuck away! From my mother! You son of a bitch."
"If you dare touch her, I will show you! Ugg- umm- arrg–"
Mid-sentence, Ray`s sister closed his mouth and said
"No~ no~, no disturbing him, let the adults talk!"
