**One Kick Girl — Chapter 148:
"Executors Don't Miss"**
Maximum threat • Precision horror • Comedy under pressure
1. When the Sky Stops Pretending
The sky didn't crack.
It opened.
Not like a tear—more like someone politely unzipping reality and checking inside.
Raon shaded her eyes.
"…That's new."
Shion's HUD exploded with warnings.
"No signatures. No mass. No data trail," Shion said, voice tight. "They're not entering."
Raon blinked.
"…Then what are they doing?"
Shion swallowed.
"Observing."
2. Executors Descend (Politely)
Three shapes lowered themselves from the open sky.
They didn't fall.
They arrived at the correct height.
Tall. Slender. Featureless—except for a single glowing mark on each chest:
A thin vertical line.
White.
Unblinking.
The Enforcers stepped aside instantly.
Not in fear.
In protocol.
One Executor tilted its head.
"Target confirmed."
Its voice wasn't layered.
It was singular.
Clean.
Final.
Raon felt it vibrate in her bones.
"…Okay," she muttered. "That one sounds like HR but with a sniper rifle."
3. No Threats. No Speeches.
The Executor raised a finger.
No energy gathered. No dramatic buildup.
The world simply lost Raon.
Shion screamed.
"RAON—!"
Raon reappeared ten meters away—skidding, boots carving trenches.
Her eyes were wide.
"…HEY."
The ground where she had been collapsed inward, erased into a smooth, featureless void.
Not destroyed.
Removed from consideration.
Raon stared.
"…They missed?"
Shion shook her head violently.
"No," she said. "They aimed."
4. Executors Don't Chase
Raon lunged.
Not fast.
Not slow.
Perfect.
Her kick cut upward—clean, brutal, undeniable.
The Executor leaned.
Just slightly.
The kick passed.
The air behind it ceased existing.
Raon landed hard, heart hammering.
"…They dodge?"
Shion corrected her.
"They adjust outcomes."
The Executor spoke again.
"Inevitable paths updated."
Raon's skin prickled.
"…I don't like that sentence."
5. Shion Tries Logic (It Fails)
Shion stepped forward, data flaring.
"You can't end her," Shion snapped. "She's not violating causality—she is causality now."
The Executor turned.
Looked at Shion.
Paused.
"Correction."
It raised its hand.
"She is noise."
The word hit like a slap.
Raon froze.
"…Hey."
The Executor continued calmly.
"Noise is removed to preserve signal."
Raon clenched her fists.
"…Rude."
6. The First Miss
The Executor pointed at Raon's heart.
Space folded inward.
Shion screamed again.
Raon moved—
Not away.
Sideways.
Not spatially.
Conceptually.
The attack struck nothing.
For the first time—
The Executor's finger twitched.
Shion's eyes went wide.
"…You missed."
Silence.
The Executor stared at its own hand.
"Recalculating."
Raon panted, laughing nervously.
"…Okay. Okay. That worked."
She wiped sweat from her brow.
"…I have no idea how I did that."
7. Executors Adapt Faster
The second Executor moved.
Raon felt the future close.
Every possible step she could take—
Already blocked.
Her body locked.
Her breath caught.
Shion slammed her palms together.
"RAON—DON'T MOVE—DON'T THINK—"
Too late.
The Executor's hand touched Raon's forehead.
The world went white.
8. Inside the End
Raon stood somewhere empty.
No ground. No sky.
Just a soft, endless pause.
A voice echoed—not hostile.
Almost curious.
"Why do you continue?"
Raon frowned.
"…Because stopping sounds boring?"
A beat.
"…That is not an answer."
Raon crossed her arms.
"Look," she said. "I don't know what rules you guys follow."
She looked around.
"But I kick things because they need kicking."
Another pause.
Longer.
"That function is unnecessary."
Raon smiled.
"…Maybe to you."
9. Something Breaks (Subtly)
Outside—
Shion watched Raon float, unmoving.
Her vitals flatlined.
Shion's hands shook.
"No," she whispered. "No no no—"
One Executor turned toward Shion.
"Observer interference detected."
Shion looked up, eyes blazing.
"You want noise?" she snarled.
Her systems overclocked.
"LET ME SHOW YOU CHAOS."
Data erupted—raw, unfiltered, uncompressed.
The Executor flinched.
Just a fraction.
Inside the void—
Raon felt warmth.
A tug.
She kicked.
10. The Unacceptable Outcome
Raon exploded back into reality.
Her heel connected with the Executor's chest.
Not hard.
True.
The white line on its chest cracked.
The sound wasn't loud.
It was wrong.
The Executors froze.
The Enforcers panicked.
Shion collapsed to her knees, laughing and crying.
The damaged Executor staggered.
Looked down.
"…Outcome deviation."
It looked at Raon.
"You should not exist."
Raon grinned, exhausted.
"…Yeah."
She raised her foot.
"I get that a lot."
