The Dangerer stood up and said, "Hey, your not a fighter. Don't you dare get in my way."
"Who said I'm not a fighter?!" shouted Zam. "Zecker! Zoku! This is our first real deal. Be ready!"
"Zam, don't do anything! It's an S Rank. We can't fight it ourselves!" shouted Zecker.
"So what? We are Fighters. This is our duty. Are you ready or not?" said Zam.
"I'm always ready," said Zoku.
"Tsk… I can't ignore that you're my captain. What a stubborn guy…" said Zecker.
"Ha… ha… you puny weaklings think you can fight me? Even those A Ranks couldn't defeat me, and one of you doesn't even have aura. I'll give you a chance to run away. I promise that if you stay with that silly bravery, you'll be dead meat!" shouted the Dangerer.
"I don't talk to Dangerers," said Zam.
Zam jumped forward and tried to land a strike. The Dangerer used his Fire Claw to attack Zam.
"Zoku… now!!!" Zam shouted.
Zoku appeared in front of the Dangerer.
"Roger! DRAGON MISOMA: VENGEANCE!!"
He swung his sword, and the blade took the form of a dragon. The slash cut through the Dangerer's fiery claws.
"What?!" the Dangerer shouted.
"Now it's my turn," said Zam.
He instantly landed a solid kick on the Dangerer's head.
The Dangerer thought, "This guy's physical strength… Is he a Dangerer? How does he have such an insane physique?"
"Now I'm really angry. I will finish you guys in an instant. FIRE MANIPULATION: GIANT FIRE BARRAGE!!"
He blew a massive stream of fire from his mouth.
Zoku was trapped in it.
"Zoku!!!!" shouted Zam.
Suddenly, a voice was heard through the flames.
"WIND MISOMA: HURRICANE!!"
A giant hurricane-like slash burst through, blowing the fire away.
"Did you forget about me?" asked Zecker.
The two girls were watching the boys fight.
The blue-haired one asked, "Chinatsu, what rank are they?"
"I don't really know. Let me check it in the FAG," said Chinatsu.
She took out her FAG and spoke to it.
"Please give me the ranks of these three Fighters," said Chinatsu.
"RRRRR… Analyzing… Analyzing complete!
Miss, they are a registered Fighter squad named 'Zambrox.'
Captain — Zikodi Zam, E RankVice Captain — Rolio Zoku, E RankWarrior — Leketik Zecker, C Rank
Overall squad rank — E Rank."
"What the f**k?! They're an E Rank squad!! And they're holding themselves against an S Rank?!" shouted Makimo.
Chinatsu blushed slightly.
"So they are really an E Rank squad?" said Chinatsu.
"We need to help them right now," said Makimo, trying to stand up.
But she fell again when she tried to stand.
"Hold yourself, Makimo. Your body is severely burned," said Chinatsu.
On the battlefield, Zecker jumped toward the Dangerer and shouted,
"WIND MISOMA: DUAL SLICER!!"
Two slashes of wind rushed toward the Dangerer.
"FIRE MANIPULATION: FIRE SHIELD!"
The Dangerer created a shield of fire to block the slashes.
"FIRE MANIPULATION: FIRE IGNITE BALLS!!"
The Dangerer created flaming balls of fire and threw them at Zecker.
They hit Zecker directly, and he was severely injured.
"You damn brat!!! How dare you injure my friend!!!" shouted Zam.
Zam rushed forward and tried to punch the Dangerer in the face again, but the Dangerer blocked it with his fire shield.
"FIRE MANIPULATION: FIRE BULLETS!!"
He shot bullets of fire from his fingers, and they hit Zam directly.
Zam's body caught fire, and he rolled over in the soil.
He was severely burned… but he still stood up.
"What?! How is he still standing?" shouted Makimo.
"You don't know when to give up, you brat!" said the Dangerer.
Zam smiled slightly.
"You hurt my friend… and you say that to me?" said Zam.
"Then you will be shredded to death by me," the Dangerer laughed.
"Bring it on," said Zam.
"FIRE MANIPULATION: FLAMING COURAGE!!"
A swarm of flames flew toward Zam.
Suddenly, the flames felt like they had slowed down to Zam.
"W–what… what is happening here?" said Zam.
"You held yourself impressively for an E Rank. Now get some rest. We will finish this. Don't worry — I'm a Fighter. Jinchi Kurosowa, S Rank."
Zam looked behind him.
Three people were standing there.
"Now move from here, fast. We need to make our entry!" said another man.
Zam quickly moved away from the flames.
The moment he moved from that spot, the flames returned to their normal speed.
"What the heck is happening here?!" said Zam.
The flames flew toward the three Fighters.
"SAND MISOMA: DESERT SLASHES!!"
One of the Fighters swung his swords. The slashes turned into barrages of sand that cut through the flames.
"The Rocket Fighters are here! Now no one needs to fear!" shouted Jinchi.
"Raso, begin your operation," said Jinchi.
"Roger," said Raso.
The Dangerer laughed.
"New players, huh… Let's have a taste."
