With the bunny girl accepting the challenge, I called Lina out. Although she rarely got any actions compared to Atlas and the others, she is currently training in the Summon's Area to fully understand her weapons and how to properly wield all of them after she became the Versatile Battle Maid.
"So she is the one who will fight against me? She doesn't look much sturdy compared to the other followers you have," the bunny girl looked at me with doubts in her eyes.
Lina only smiled but I already saw an angry vein forming on her hands meaning she is pissed from hearing that comment.
"Ha, you might be eating those words you just said. Don't underestimate someone just because she is lightly dressed and she is a maid."
"Whatever, I have to win if I want to survive!"

"Just incapacitate her. You can go all out, but don't kill her as this is not a battle to the death. Just make sure she loses and make sure that she is intact, that's it."
"What about weapons? Should I limit myself to one weapon?'
"No, limiting yourself to one weapon would just make you at a disadvantage since she also uses multiple weapons, fight which weapon is comfortable for you to use."
When I said those words, Lina smiled and went into position for the battle. The bunny girl also went to do the same. As for me, I am the one who will judge the outcome of the match.
"Are both sides ready?"
The two did not speak but they only stare at each other. Lina is confidently staring at the bunny girl while the latter seems to be sweating for a bit but she is still trying her best to keep herself calm.
"Then I will take both of your silence as a yes. Begin!"
As soon as I shouted those words, the bunny girl immediately throws her throwing knives. I didn't catch up how many were thrown but I will estimate it to be six throwing knives flying straight to Lina. However, Lina didn't flinch and just stood there smiling.
Before the throwing knives can land to Lina, she made her move and a quick movement in her hands and the flying throwing knives that were hurled to her disappeared and reappeared to her hands as if she was the one who were holding them right from the start. Butg the bunny girl didn't just stood there after throwing those knives.
She pulled out her metal wires and started manipulating them in her arms as she darted to close her distance to Lina. As for Lina who is still holding the throwing knives, she throws them back to the bunny girl causing the bunny girl who was still preparing to do her close attack to stop and dodge to the side. But that was one fatal mistake to her because Lina already predicted her next movement.
In a flash, the bunny girl saw a shadow the moment she dodge away from the throwing knives and the next thing she knew, a large metallic ball with some little spikes hit her back, causing her to spit a lot of blood from catching the strike. Lina has whipped out her Morning Star and slam it down to the dodging bunny girl. After the strike, Lina did not strike another attack and retreated, staying to where she stood earlier and withdraw her Morning Star back to where she pulled it out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe bunny girl struggled to move. A heavy attack that she didn't expect just hit her abdomen and it caused a lot of damage to her. I can see it on her face that the pain is just too crazy for her that she didn't knew catching up that pain was too painful for her body.
However, as a trained assassin, she didn't remain lying on the ground. She stood up again and composed herself to fight back. As for Lina, she is just waiting for the bunny girl to attack while keeping the smile on her face intact.
The bunny girl already knew that the first attempt to attack her wasn't a good idea as she just literally used the first weapons she used to attack first to get back to her. So this time, the bunny girl decided to fight back in close combat. She darted herself and pulled out a sword and she is about to go to strike a fight against Lina.
Lina elegantly blocked her first strike with a dagger as she pulled it out of her side and deflected the incoming attack in an elegant way while still keeping her calmness. As Lina deflected the sword, it seems the bunny girl was already anticipating the way Lina will react and as soon as she deflected the first strike, the sword's hidden function was revealed. It's long blade divided into parts, forming a blade chain sword and manipulate it to bind Lina who just deflected the attack.
But contrary to the bunny girl's expectation, instead of shock, Lina is seen grinning when that happened and she felt nervous about it that she quickly bind up the maid on her swords. It was just a small grin but in the bunny girl's eyes, she saw something terrifying and in her entire life of being an assassin, this is the first time that she have experienced the fear that has been trained to her system to get rid of to properly execute the tactics flawlessly.
All of those have been flushed down to the drain the moment she faced the maid before her. Despite her experience in assassination, she is not someone capable enough. And the one who beat her up is none other than a maid.
And despite her sword binding the woman, she felt that something is wrong and her instincts never fail for that. This woman is just on another scale and on another whole new level.
