"Well rather than share, perhaps you’d like a usb instead. It’s kind of annoying to tell the same story multiple times." Shiro chuckled as she created a usb and threw it towards the man.

  Catching it with a frown, he sighed and nodded his head.

  "Is there anything else you want to tell us?" He asked.

  "Not really except that you probably want everyone to be as high levelled as possible. You’ll understand why when you see the stuff on the usb. That and also share the resources around a bit more. Aside from that, nothing else." Shiro smiled.

  "That and also your friend seems to be quite excited, why not come out and introduce yourself." Shiro smiled and snapped her finger. Suddenly, tens of nanotech needles appeared and shot towards an area.

  "Aiya, you found me? Not many people can." A voice rang out as a man quickly landed on the ground.

  Looking at him, Shiro was rather surprised to see that he was a dark elf with silver hair like Shiro. His physique was similar to Nan Tian’s in that it seemed thin but Shiro could tell the power packed in his body.

  "Well it’s quite obvious to someone as sensitive to mana as I am. I’m sure you heard of what happened with your friend so care to explain to me why you seem to trigger happy?" Shiro chuckled while pointing towards his bow.

  "Well it’s not often people like us run into someone stronger. I want to give it a shot." The dark elf narrowed his eyes as Shiro shrugged.

  "Sure, entertain me."

  Just as she said this, hundreds of mana arrows appeared around Shiro as she instantly summoned Silvanis and cut the arrows in half. However, just as she did this, each arrow released a shockwave as Shiro countered with a shockwave of her own created with the compression of mana.

  "Damn your reaction speed is insane." The dark elf’s voice rang out as he appeared behind her with two short swords.

  Twisting his body, a whirlwind of slashes surrounded Shiro as she stabbed her sword into the ground. Suddenly, a cage of nanobots erupted out and blocked the slashes. They barely left shallow marks as the nanobots healed up in an instant.

  Seeing this, the dark elf couldn’t help but chuckle and hop back.

  Connecting his short swords together, they merged into a bow again as he fired several shots towards Shiro while dashing around her.

  Swiping out with her sword, Shiro was about to cut the arrow in half when it switched locations with the elf.

  Stepping on her sword, the elf slashed towards her.

  Bending her body back, Shiro watched as the sword brushed against her hair which was rather surprising since it had been quite hard for people to come close to hitting her unless they heavily out classed her in stats.

  Summoning a few daggers, she had them pierce towards her but his place switched with the arrow once more.

  To her surprise, the arrow had continued to travel towards her when they were dodging each other’s strikes so when he switched, he reappeared behind her with a sword cutting towards head.

  Smirking slightly, Shiro activated Keitoma as his body froze up for a moment, allowing her to adjust herself.

  "Such a tough to hit opponent." The dark elf shrugged when the paralysis wore off.

  "If I wasn’t hard to hit I would have died by now with my defences." Shiro humoured him as he had given her a relatively good workout compared to what others have done.

  "Well care to go for a little longer then?" He asked as Shiro nodded. Narrowing his eyes, he crouched down and slammed his hand against the ground.

  Suddenly, a tier 5 magic circle expanded out in an instant but Shiro wasn’t surprised.

  Stomping down, she shattered the spell in an instant but the dark elf only smiled.

  As the shattered tier 5 magic circle floated in the air, they converged together and reassembled themselves into a shadow of Shiro which caused her to raise her eyebrow.

  "Oh my, I didn’t think a person could actually get a skill like this. Interesting." Shiro smiled as her shadow seemed to have the same equipment as her but they felt weaker in comparison.

  The most up-to-date novels are published on lightnovelworld[.]com

  "I got lucky with this skill. But what kind of monster are you? The shadow will always be weaker than the original by quite a bit but despite that, your shadow is stronger than most of the members we have." The dark elf narrowed his eyes as he dashed towards her with the shadow besides him.

  "Mn, I’ll keep that a secret." Shiro smiled.

  Raising her sword, she parried her shadows strike as ice chains erupted out from the ground.

  Pivoting on her foot, Shiro summoned a dagger and destroyed the chains in an instant. But just as she did this, the dark elf appeared in front of her and slashed with her short sword.

  Just as she stepped back to dodge, she felt danger all around her as it was similar to how her boundary worked.

  Snapping her finger, a mana barrier wrapped around her.

  Ripples could be seen across the surface but the barrier was not harmed.

  "Jeez. If my next attack doesn’t work then I surrender." Jumping back, the dark elf grabbed his short swords and flicked them into reverse grip. Stabbing it into each arm, Shiro raised her eyebrow when light blue runic tattoos appeared on his body.

  Separating from his body, two illusionary images of him slowly materialised as he pulled the swords out.

  Stomping down, darkness expanded out in an instant as it wrapped the two of them in an arena where no light could be seen.

  "Oh you poor man." Shiro sighed since this was actually beneficial for her.

  Sighing softly, she dismissed her blade as her stats had just been multiplied. Her sword was no longer necessary.

  Raising one leg, she kicked out besides her before pivoting on her other foot. Slamming her palm into the chest of one of the phantoms, she slammed the ground as ice spikes erupted out with her in the centre.

  *PING!!!

  Shattering the darkness with ease, Shiro could see the dark elf retreating but combat halted.

  "I’ll be honest. You surprised me. You actually made me bleed." Shiro smiled while raising up her right hand.

  There were several cuts on her right hand as flames wrapped around them and they were healed in an instant.

  "Goodness when did the young miss of the Asakura family become such a monster." The dark elf sighed as he sat against the ground. The entirety of his back and left arm had been frozen as he was caught by a single ice flake that he didn’t manage to dodge.

  "I kind of have to." Shiro shrugged and thawed the ice before healing him.

  "Since you actually proved to be quite talented, why don’t you tell me your name?" Shiro asked as he had impressed her quite a bit.

  "Grangl. Grangel Lunarious." Gangel replied while standing up.

  "Take this."

  Catching the thing that Shiro threw, Grangel was confused as to what she had just given him.

  "It’s a skill chip of one of my skills. It’s a little weaker but it shouldn’t be too bad. Just placed that chip on an accessory and you’ll be able to use the skill. Of course, if you do shady stuff with it, I’ll know." Shiro narrowed her eyes as Grangel glanced at the description and widened his eyes.

  [Kietoma]

  It was the same skill that Shiro had used to freeze his body as it would be quite helpful for him. Especially for the last attack that he used against her.

  Turning around, Shiro walked back to the trio that had been waiting.

  "We’re done here. Let’s go." Shiro smiled as they nodded their heads.

  Opening a portal to the rift, they disappeared from the area.

  Once they were gone, Grangel sighed.

  "Goodness. Tell the old geezers that we should work under her if we can. She’s crazy strong." He said while applying the chip to an earring he had.

  "Work under her?"

  "Yup." Grangel nodded his head and disappeared from his spot.

  ###

  {I’m surprised that you actually gave him a chip with a skill on it.} Nimue said as Shiro shrugged.

  ’He impressed me which is rather hard considering my expectations. Naturally, I would reward that. Plus, it also gives me a means of monitoring the government so it’s a win win. He will be a rather helpful ally in the new age.’ Shiro replied.

  {Mn true. Look at you being generous now haha.}

  ’I’m always generous. Of course, only to people that I care about and those that impress me.’ Shiro shrugged since she wasn’t stringent about giving things to people. The main thing is that they had to impress her first.

  Arriving at the teleport shrine, Shiro decided to go back home first before going back to the spirit capital since she wanted to introduce the two to her parents first.
