Chapter Thirty-eight

Sheena
I told Alicia that she did not need to help me kill the guitar boy because I already knew what to do in order to defeat him. Alicia seemed to disagree with me because she wanted to help me kill the boy. It is my mission and I need to decide on my own. Therefore, Alicia can do nothing against my will.
"If that's what you want, I will leave that boy to you, as you are so desperate to do this alone. I will search for the sixth person that you needed to kill, so that you won't need to waste your time just searching for that person," Alice said.
With pouted lips, Alicia suddenly disappeared. I don't know where she went, but I am sure that she will be searching for the sixth person that I needed to kill.
The place was so silent and seemed to swallow me whole. I made some footsteps while going towards the mansion where the guitar boy lives. While entering the door, some guards met me. I have been practicing martial arts for some time, and I know how to make them out of their consciousness through kicking and punching. Many loud blasts appeared, and no doubt, the enemies became more than just what I expected.
The enemies surrounded me and seemed to want to hurt me whatever it took. wearing formal attire, including those guards who appeared to be well-dressed. They were so big and looked strong. Especially those men who had big muscles in their arms and also those women who looked fit because of fighting.
With the help of being quick in my every move, which I learned through the speedy man before, it only took me a few seconds to drop them down. I thought that I was so great because every time I killed one of those people that were destined to fight me, I also became more powerful, stronger, and braver than the Sheena that other people knew in the past.
The glossy floor in the mansion where the guitar boy lives seemed to bury itself in the core of the Earth as I walked over it. I was full of confidence as I walked on towards the room where the guitar boy was. On my way, there were many people who I had to drop down on the floor because they wanted to block me from going towards their master.
Eventually, I reached the person that I needed to kill. He already knew that there was someone who was destined to kill him, but he swore that he would fight me whatever happened. He said that he'd rather die fighting than die without fighting at all.
That boy was handsome but a little bit boastful. He has a high nose, pinkish lips, brown eyes, short, bronze hair, white skin, and a high stature. He looked strong and brave. He never expected that I could be so powerful and swift, but he would not be affected by my power because he would do his best to defeat me. He was a little wordy, but his every word defended himself, telling me that he was brave and powerful, but insecure, as if he was going to defeat me.
Because of my irritation, I seized his neck. Though he was taller than me, I never felt any difficulty in hanging him in the air. I just raised my heels to do the thing. He tried to punch me, but it was too late because he was out of strength and had turned flabby. When I saw that he was not breathing anymore, I dropped him on the floor.
I did not feel any tiredness while fighting those people. Although there were too many, I did not feel any difficulty because I'm so speedy. Even the guitar boy had not used his guitar to fight me because I suddenly seized his neck.
He can't even play his guitar or transform papers into whatever he wants because of the sound he made. He was playing a guitar when I arrived near him, but because of his prattle, he did not have a chance to fight me. It only took me a few minutes to fight those people and also kill the guitar boy, so I thought that it was the fastest fight that ever happened.
Meanwhile, Alicia was shocked when she appeared near me, as she saw that the guitar boy had already dropped down and was breathless on the floor. She uttered the word, "Good job!" I became happy every time I heard that word from Alicia's lips, because it seemed to tell me not to give up and to fight until I got my freedom.
Alicia might think that she doesn't need to train me anymore in fighting and mastering some magic tricks. Though I won't show her any sign, I know that I don't need her help anymore in defeating my enemies, because there is something that she used to tell me about anything that I wanted to know.
As usual, Alicia offered the spirit of the guitar boy to the powerful spirit that I did not even see once. She seemed to be calling someone or saying an abracadabra, and suddenly, the body of the guitar boy had disappeared. Alicia had not failed, she had accepted the spirit of the guitar boy, because as his body disappeared, it was a sign of acceptance.
The word "acceptance" seemed so ordinary, but I know that Alicia valued that word too much. If she is unable to gain acceptance from her master, her freedom, and possibly mine, will be jeopardized. Well, I don't know if it will affect my freedom because she had not mentioned anything about that thing to me. She's always talking about other, unimportant things, and she seems to be hiding the important things I should know.
She eventually stood up and told me that she had already found the sixth person I needed to kill and that all we had to do now was go to where that person lived. My hands are itching, as if I wanted to punch someone. Not just punching, it was addicted to killing people. It even hurts other people who don't need to be hurt or killed, because they are blocking my way.
"We are already done doing what is needed in this place, so we must go to the next person," Alicia said. She suddenly grabbed my hand and brought me to the place where the sixth person.
I had forgotten to get the guitar, but I know that I won't need it anymore. Not just because I don't know how to play a guitar, but I am already powerful without it. I am just curious where that guitar goes, because after I fought with the boy, it was already gone from the spot where he placed it. Maybe it also brought him back to the place where Alicia's master brought his spirit.
Alicia told me something about the sixth person who was destined to fight me. She said that the next person that I needed to kill was a girl who had the power of fire bangles. A girl that can make fire through using her bangles that she always wears wherever she goes.
"Sheena, you're so clever, and I know that you already know how to kill that girl without my help, right?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, of course you are right. I don't need your help anymore. Just leave her to me if you want," I replied, then smiled sweetly.
I don't think that it will be difficult for me to kill that bangles girl, but I know that there is a way that can be used to defeat her. That way is to get her bangles and, as with those people that I have already killed, she will become weak. I cannot judge her too early because I have not seen her appearance yet and she might be strong and big.
I'm not sure how that girl can start fires with her bangles, but because everything seemed possible in the world where I belong, it's not impossible that someone can do something with small things. After the fan girl, the guitar boy, and now the bangles girl, maybe my next enemies are earrings girl, ring man, hairpin woman, handkerchief boy, etcetera etcetera.
Now I realize that someone cannot judge a thing as small because there are many impossible things that can happen because of it. As for my father's statement that everyone cannot be judged by their looks, now I believe that it is not just everyone, but everything.
I had been in the park where the bangle girl was. I came there alone, because Alicia told me that she would be searching for the seventh person for the same reason that she always tells me. To make my mission easier and faster, we can also get our freedom as fast as we do everything about killing those people.
Without anything else, I did what I needed to do there. I used the power of the fan to avoid the fireballs that came from the girl's bangles. I avoided all the fireballs that she threw towards me. She is not totally a strong girl, because she looked weak and could not move fast, as she would just fall down when I threw her a strong wind that came from the powerful fan.
That girl was not totally beautiful, and her looks were not interesting because she had a burnt face. Maybe that burn was caused by her power. If she cannot control it, she will get burned. I really felt the warmth. Even her fireballs were just passing by me. I am so fast when I move, and she was surprised, because she could not hit me with her fireballs.
While fighting the bangles girl, there were many people that were watching us fight. Instead of stopping us from fighting, they seemed to make me and the girl into female cocks because they were betting between us on who would win. Definitely, they cannot get near us because of the fires that are coming out of the girl's bangles. They are afraid of being burned or thrown to the next town as a result of my powerful fan.
In killing the bangles, it's just a piece of cake. I'm not bragging, but my speed is comparable to that of lightning, and she can't catch me because I'm faster than her blink. She dropped down when I kicked her in the center of her thigh. Maybe that was painful, because I saw her face puckered because of it. The place seemed to be flooded, because of the tears that streamed down from her eyes. She looked pitiable, but there is nothing else I can do, because her life is one of the keys to the door of my freedom.
The people screamed out of surprise when they saw that I had totally ended the life of the bangles girl. I thought that it was my end, because there were too many people who saw the crime that I committed. I was still grateful that Alicia came at the right time and she used her power to freeze them, as they could not speak or move. Then Alicia bragged: she said that I would have become famous if she had not come at the right time. I would become a famous serial killer. Not just because I killed many people, but because of my wonderful powers.
After Alicia offered the spirit of the bangles girl to her master, the dead body of the girl suddenly disappeared as a sign that her spirit had been accepted by Alicia's master. The foolish version showed up again as she asked me what we were going to do to those people that witnessed my fights with the bangles girl. Of course, I am so clever, and because of that, I told her to remove their memories of the fight that happened between me and the girl. My problem with those people was over when Alicia removed their memories of the fight, then they went back to their houses.
"Woo-hoo!" I jumped. My sweat never fell down, even though I fought with the bangles girl for an hour. We were just throwing winds and fireballs at each other. "Finally, the fight is over. What we should do is go to the seventh person that I needed to kill," I said.
Alice replied, "You are doing a good job. I hope that it will continue until the hundredth person, so that we can be free quickly."
"So, what are we waiting for? Let us go to the next, so that we do not waste a second just standing here," I said.
