Kanade held his fists up against the two mercenaries without a hint of caution.

　There were two opponents.
　One was a warrior who carried a shield and the other had his entire body covered in armor.
　The other was a wizard with a staff.
　The warrior stands in front of the wizard to protect him.
　After confirming that the wall has been built, the wizard begins to chant his magic.

　We must make the first move here!

　Kanade chooses a plan on a hunch and charges in.

''Unyan!''
'Oh, oh, oh!

　The Kanade and the warriors clashed.
　The cat spirit race's rush is as powerful as a siege weapon.
　Even though the opponent is as good as a B-ranked adventurer, he's an ordinary human.
　As expected, it's tame, but even so, it's not much different than being hit by a giant hammer.

　That blow ... the warrior endured it.

''Ggh............As expected of the most powerful species, you do it!
You're the one!

　Kanade was surprised.
　Even though he was holding back, he was still able to take his own blow.

　He thought back to the time he fought Aggus.
　Maybe he was just as strong.
　If so, it would be troublesome.
　It might take a little longer if he's holding back.

　Kanade thinks about it.

　Should I go easy on him and use half the strength?
　It doesn't seem like you need to give it your all, but half of it would be fine...no.
　How about that too?
　I've determined that it might be as powerful as Aggus, but it's just a hunch.
　Maybe I should check it a bit more.
　If I make a mistake in adding or subtracting, I'll kill you if I'm not good at it.

''Nya ... this is the kind of thing that's frustrating.

　For now, let's just bump into each other again.
　Kanade made a decision and kept his distance.

　Then his opponent also retreated back.
　What were they thinking, giving us a chance to attack all the way back?

　Kanade looked at me quizzically...
　Immediately, I cringed.

"Flamewave!

　The warrior jumps sideways and...
　The wizard behind him unleashes an intermediate level magic.

　The cat spirit race is a physically specialized race, so few of them can win in a fist fight.
　They have excellent kinetic vision and physical abilities, and are unable to hit an attack.
　Even if they can hit, damage to their sturdy bodies is unlikely to pass through them.

　On the other hand, they are weak against magic.
　Even beginner level attack magic can take damage.
　They also have a low resistance to abnormal magic, and can easily be poisoned or paralyzed.

''Nyannya!

　Kanade hurriedly jumped and dodged the tsunami of flames.
　The tidal wave of flames that had nowhere to go reaped the household goods, burning them and turning them into charcoal.

　If it had been a direct hit, it wouldn't necessarily be the same...
　There is no doubt that some damage was done.

　This was not an opponent to be taken off guard.
　Kanade steeled himself and decided to take it down from the wizard first.

　Sprinting.
　Feinting left and right, he avoided the warrior.
　Trying to get past the side...

Sweet!
Meow!

　The warrior saw through Kanade's feint and stood in front of him.

　This time it was the opposite, the warrior rushed forward, using his shield.
　Kanade was forced to stop, and stopped on the spot.
　He caught the warrior's attack.

'Persistent!'

　Kanade tries to fend off the warrior and run to the wizard, but...
　The warrior is as persistent as a snake and bites down on Kanade.

　Should I still defeat the warrior first?
　No, but the wizard was more of a threat.

　Lost in thought, unexpectedly, the warrior retreated.
　Kanade would soon understand what that meant.

'Dragoon Howling!'

　While the warrior was stalling for time, the wizard had finished casting his advanced magic.
　A dragon built up with magic power roared and ran towards Kanade.

''Nya........uu!

　It's inevitable!

　Prepared, Kanade crossed his arms in front of his body and received the magic.

　And then........a direct hit.
　An impact.
　For a moment, my vision swung up and down and left and right, and I fell into a back and forth numbness.

　I was blown away and rolled around in a circle........
　I hit the wall and finally stopped.

'Nyah, nyah it hurts so much...'

　Despite the fact that the advanced magic was a direct hit, Kanade only had to say a single word, 'Ouch'.
　Even though he was weak to magic, the strength of the cat spirit race was not unusual.
　They can endure it to a certain extent.
　But it's also true that it's not good to be hit repeatedly.

'Hey, you stubborn bastard..................Hey!　Let him eat until he collapses.
I got it!　Dragoon Howling!

　The wizard chants the magic again.
　It's magic I saw once.
　Twisting around in the air, this time, Kanade avoided the magic.
　He ran with the same momentum, but...

Meow, get out of my way!

　Once again, the warrior blocks his way and stops him in his tracks.
　In the meantime, the wizard repeatedly unleashes advanced magic.

'Dragoon Howling!'
Meow!

　Slowly, the vision of the dragon grazed Kanade's body.
　As if entangled in a tornado, his body spun and blew away.
　With a crunch, he was slammed from his back against the furniture.

''Ow, ow, ow.......''

　Wobbling, Kanade stands up.
　Then he thinks.

　The coordination between the warrior and the wizard is perfect.
　The warrior holds Kanade back while the wizard strikes.
　It was a well thought out strategy.
　Maybe he had fought against the cat spirit race in the past.
　Their breath was in perfect harmony and it was hard to break them down.
　The power of a mercenary that was comparable to a B-rank was something that could not be underestimated.

''Then, even I would!

　I decided not to think about overdoing it or anything like that for the moment.
　Right now, it's better to get out of this situation.

　Kanade released half of his strength.
　Then he ran at more than twice the speed of his previous speed.

''d*mn, it's fast but that's about it!

　The warrior held a huge shield with both hands, trying to stop Kanade from getting to his feet.
　No matter how much of a cat spirit race they were, they could buy themselves some time if they were on the defensive.
　From the time he was small until now, he had been torturing his body every day to train himself.
　I have the power to do just that.

　The warrior had the confidence that he could stop Kanade, even if he was the strongest species.
　The result.....

Nyan!
What the hell?

　Kanade ran to the side to avoid the warrior.
　Running, running, running, running....
　As it was, he ran through the wall.

　As if gravity had turned sideways, Kanade used the wall as a foothold and ran across his body to the side.
　As it was, he moved further, this time running across the ceiling.
　The warrior was stunned by the sight of gravity being ignored.

　Even the strongest species, Kanade, did not have the skill of being able to manipulate gravity.
　He simply made full use of the cat spirit race's ridiculous physical abilities to run through walls and ceilings by himself.

　It was outrageous.
　It was bullshit.
　But it was a real thing that was happening in reality.

''........I, no!　Run!

　The warrior comes to himself and shouts to the wizard....
　It's already too late.

　Avoiding the warrior by running through the ceiling, Kanade jumped directly in front of the wizard...........and landed.
　He spins his arms around and around........
　A blow to the frightened wizard.

Unnih!
What?

　The wizard took a punch from the Kanade and was blown away by it.
　He hit the wall from his back and collapsed into a stupor.

"Good!

　Kanade poses in the gut on the spot.
　The warrior, on the other hand, was unable to move as he saw something out of the ordinary.

　He had heard that the strongest species had tremendous power.
　He didn't intend to let his guard down.
　But........to be able to show such an extraordinary power.
　In just a single moment, the situation was reversed.
　It's like I'm having a bad dream.

　The warrior can't help but think about that.

"This is the end!

　While the warrior was stunned, Kanade ran a few meters in an instant... and with the same momentum, he punched his foe away.
