She's That Knight Known As Zero 296 A Real Calligrapher Does Not Blame The Brush

Eureka nodded, "Don't look at me like that. Despite the long blank years I can still lift the sword just fine."

"You must have only recovered your memories yesterday or the day after. You said that you were in so much pain, then today you went ahead and had a swim. Do you think your body would be fine with all those?"

An imperceptible smile appeared on Eureka's face, she missed this. He was someone who rarely nagged but when he does it shows just how much concern he has to you.

"You don't have to worry, I'll rest properly after this. I'm still mad at them for their plans regarding Hikari," in the end she still replied seriously.

Raven knew she was a stubborn one, so after getting two swords for her in the nearest weapon smith. The two of them rode a horse to intercept the rebels.

Seeing the rebels, the two of them unmounted from their horses and waite for these rebels to arrive. Among them only a few had a horse. Despite their number, Eureka and Raven looked at each other and smiled.

Eureka used an alternative tie to tie her hair up.

"Only two? How naive," one rebel riding a horse commented upon getting close to where they stood.

"Maybe," he was then stupefied when a cold voice was heard just beside his ear.

Just as he looked to the side, her sword have slashed through his throat and blood sprayed out.

"Such weak sword," Eureka commented, with the strength she exerted, the wound should have been deeper.

"Anyway, a real calligrapher does not blame the brush," she added before jumping to the next horse.

The once silent crowd roared upon witnessing her killing one of the higher ups just like that. Her movements were nimble and it was fast.

As she jumped to the next horse, the one riding it made it move to the side but Eureka twisted her body to land instantly before jumping up once again. Her jump seemed like she was just jumping over the top of that man.

But blood soon sprayed from the man's face.

"My precision is a little out of it," Eureka once again commented as she shook her hand holding the sword.

The man was shrieking as he covered the wound in his face. This allowed him to fall off the horse, before anyone could help him a sword was already pierced through his eyes.

"I'm not too kind as to spare any of you for your plans," Eureka was looking at them filled with coldness and ruthlessness.

"Don't go questioning yourself again," Raven who just killed two other men in horses came beside her.

"Don't worry, after everything I am already past those sentiments. These people are trying to disrupt the peace we created, I have no plans on letting that slide."

The two of them jumped at the same time, putting some distance between them and the crowd of rebels who are seething in anger.

These two have just killed four of their higher ups as if they were just playing.

"I'll leave my back to you," Eureka said as she brandished her swords.

"As I leave mine to you," Raven replied.

This was one of the reasons why Nana had broken up with him back then. He was used to having the person beside him being able to protect herself and protect him as well.

His lips turned upwards when he remembered this. Indeed Nana was right, he was completely at ease knowing that the person behind him was someone who can protect herself but protect him as well.

His eyes turned sharp when the rebels started attacking the two of them. Blood showered around them as one after another the rebels were slaughtered.

Not long after he noticed Hideyos.h.i.+ and the others watching from a close distance, they all look so shock that none of them were moving to help them.

"You know, we would appreciate your help here," then he heard Eureka's voice.

As if snapping from their own world Hideyos.h.i.+ and the others finally moved forward to lend a hand.

"Hideyos.h.i.+, you're the current headknight, what's with those slow movements?" Eureka suddenly commented.

Hideyos.h.i.+ was rendered speechless with just one sentence from her.

That sharp tongue, all of them were very much acquainted with that.

"Feena, move at the back. We have no idea, you could be pregnant you know," she then went ahead and gave another comment.

Unconsciously, Feena moved back as a support. They were used to listening to Eureka's commands and instructions after all.

"Azusa, you once had speed. But you no longer have it. You're still subconsciously relying to it. Speed down and you would be able to give more damage."

One after another, Eureka's commands were heard not just by the rebels but even the current captains and generals.

"Stop watching us, do we look like some show to you? Get those swords moving," she then sharply said to the knights who stopped moving.

"I hate you Eureka," Feena shouted as she couldn't help but tear up.

Her words were that she hated her but her eyes were so emotional that she looked like she wanted to run to her and give her a tight hug.

"I know," Eureka looked at her and gave her a smile.

"Stop being distracted as well," Raven then said after hitting down another attack coming from her back.

"I know you're there to put him down," Eureka replied as she returned to her killing spree.

"I'll give you a good beating after this," Azusa who was also tearing up commented from the side.

"Do it when you can finally be slower and have more strength on your attacks," Eureka retorted.

Those who were with them were stupefied. It was not everyday that they see the once called squad zero be together.

They've also heard of it, that their captain was someone else, the one they thought was Raven but each of them were told that it was not him.

Now seeing the interactions between these five and listening to her commands to which the others followed. The thought of her being the captain was solidified on their minds.

It was not long after that, that all the rebels were taken down.

"Why didn't you leave just one to interrogate?" Hideyos.h.i.+ asked.

"No need, sooner or later they would come as well, but if they don't we can just go and hunt them down. This place was not that big anyway," Eureka replied as she put the sword back to its sheath.

And for a moment, her vision blurred. She couldn't help but to pinch the s.p.a.ce between her brows.

"You came here to inform them, why not rest first before explaining everything to them?" Raven suddenly carried her princess like upon seeing this.

Seeing her look, Hideyos.h.i.+ and the others understood that she must be feeling weak right now.

"Go on and rest. You really are reckless aren't you?" Feena couldn't help but to reprimand.

"We will look for you after we settle all of these bodies, together with the queen and king," Azusa added.

Since there are others in there, they didn't speak too casually.

"Don't tell them. Not one of you must inform them yet. I'll go to them myself, even to Hikari," Eureka raised her hand to stop them.

"We understand, Raven go on and let her rest," Feena held her hand before looking at Raven.

After watching them leave, Hideyos.h.i.+ faced the other knights, "Don't go speaking about this matter yet. We will announce it ourselves. For now zip your mouths."

He spoke full of authority, to which everyone acknowledged.

"Sir, who was she?" one general couldn't help but ask.

"Our captain," Hideyos.h.i.+, Feena and Azusa smiled happily after saying this.

Seeing their look, all those who were still suspicious of Eureka could no longer do so. Especially after watching her capabilities, they were now in awe and each of them were filled with admiration.

Most of the knights were men, only a few ladies have the strength like Feena and the others. But seeing Eureka's strength, they can tell she was second to no one.

Raven could be on par with her but they feel like even he was not entirely on par with her.

They were then reminded that the strength she showed a while ago was just because she was still feeling weak.

Then what was her strength if she was in her full force?

*****

Raven couldn't help but look down, he felt Eureka snuggled closer to him. Her horse was left to Hideyos.h.i.+ and the others to handle. They are currently using just one horse.

"I hope I am not dreaming," he then heard her say.

"Shouldn't that be what we wish? That we are not in a dream and that you truly are back?"

"Then I hope none of these were just dreams," she commented before she finally allowed herself to fall asleep, after being comfortable enough within his arms.
