A flash of light.
Psykos's figure reappeared.
Ayato asked, "Well? Did you get what we needed?"
"Master, with me handling it, it was a piece of cake."
Psykos smiled triumphantly. "Just follow me."
With those words, Psykos floated up.
"Let's follow."
Ayato snapped his fingers, and an invisible force carried Wavygyaza as they shot into the sky.
Wavygyaza had only just become a Devil.
It was impossible for her to keep up with Psykos.
Gradually!
The group of four had already left the city.
They arrived at a remote mountain forest.
Finally!
A base built in a hidden location became faintly visible.
"This is the place."
Psykos's eyes lit up, and she slowly descended from the sky with Ayato and the others.
"This base is really quite large."
Wavygyaza's expression turned serious. She said solemnly, "Master, should we notify the Hero Association?"
"To run a base this big, there are probably quite a few people inside."
Ayato shook his head. "Why go through all that trouble?"
"We can just go straight in."
"???"
Wavygyaza was stunned.
Wasn't this a bit too rash?
This seemed different from the Heroes she had imagined.
"Master, there's actually a better way."
It was Fubuki-senpai.
As expected, a senior with Hero experience was reliable.
"In my opinion, you shouldn't have come this time."
Fubuki said seriously. "I can handle this by myself."
Wavygyaza: "..."
"After all, this is Wavygyaza's first battle."
Ayato gave Wavygyaza a head pat. "Since we have time, let's just treat it like a sightseeing trip."
With that, he led the group casually walking forward.
Such a conspicuous action...
Soon attracted the attention of patrolling personnel, who spotted the group.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several figures with indifferent expressions, wearing combat suits, blocked the path of Ayato and the others.
At the same time.
Red lights flashed inside the base, and alarms sounded.
"Intruders. By order, kill on sight."
The leader spoke indifferently.
His tone was cold throughout, as if devoid of any emotion.
This was only natural.
These people were all cyborgs, having completely lost their minds.
They were simply puppets who obeyed orders like robots.
"Leave these small fry to you."
Ayato stopped and gave Wavygyaza a look.
Hearing this!
Wavygyaza hesitated slightly, then took a deep breath and walked forward with firm steps.
Although she felt this action was a bit unreliable...
Since she had decided to become a Hero, and had now gained power...
Then there was no reason to retreat.
The next moment.
She stepped forward.
Bang!
Wavygyaza charged forward and threw a punch.
Boom!
A muffled sound echoed.
The surrounding air rippled visibly.
Countless dust particles spread, rolling in all directions.
The leader didn't even have time to react before his body was sent flying, carving a trench in the ground as he slid.
The combat suit shattered.
He was clearly done for.
Wavygyaza looked at her fist in disbelief.
"I'm... this strong now?"
Just one punch...
And she had killed him.
Inexplicably, she grew excited.
"This is a battle. Don't lose focus."
Ayato reminded her. "Don't forget, you still have other opponents."
"Sorry, Master. It won't happen again."
Sensing the surrounding attacks, Wavygyaza's expression changed.
Her figure flashed, dodging the attacks from those around her with extremely agile movements.
At the same time.
She swung her fist again.
On the other side!
Watching Wavygyaza fight...
Psykos and Fubuki raised their eyebrows.
"Would you look at that, this popular idol isn't just a vase."
"Right. Although she's green, she does have some fighting skills."
Both of them were somewhat surprised.
Before long.
These guards had fallen all over the ground.
Each one had a tattered combat suit and had been killed with a single punch.
Ayato walked over. "Wavygyaza, have you trained before?"
"Yes."
Wavygyaza nodded, a bit embarrassed. "To become a Hero, I practiced many fighting techniques."
"But before, they were just fancy moves. Now, thanks to you, Master, it's completely different."
"Mm, it'll do for now."
Ayato said. "But you have too many flashy and impractical moves. If you're interested, the basic magic book has more practical ones."
"As for what you don't understand, you can ask the companions who are good at martial arts."
