'Damn, remind me not to do that again.'
2 days after Alex was brought in from near-death experience, he could move again. The time he was officially declared dead after returning to life was the new high score of the facility. Alex stretched his arms.
'Hmph. You are extremely reckless. It would have been better if you stayed dead.'
Jason coldly said.
'You say that, but you were the one who was screaming Alex come back.'
Vanessa leaped over Jason's shoulder, making him blush.
'Th-That did not happen. You must have misunderstood me.'
Jason pushed her back.
'It wasn't that amazing. How can you call it a success if you end up dying?
Hikaru complained.
'I'm glad you're okay, Alex.'
Asuna placed a fruit basket. The atmosphere was pleasant.
'Thanks, Asana but the truth is I'm not okay "
'What's the matter? Do I call a doctor?'
'No, not that. How can I be okay when I'm stuck inside the hospital?'
The others couldn't understand what Alex was saying.
'We're in China, and I'm stuck in a hospital. We have to go to a festival or a Carnival.'
'We are not. The doctors told you to rest for 3 more days, Alex.'
Jason was always the first to ruin fun plans. The doctors told him to rest 3 more days if he wanted to use electricity again.
'Alright, then we're sneaking out. All in favor, raise your hand.'
It was 4 to 1.
'Let's go.'
It wasn't hard finding a Carnival in China.
'Test out your shooting skills. Come one come all.'
The owner regretted saying that. He was going bankrupt. Jason didn't miss a shot despite being twice as far. Alex took shots single-handed instead of properly holding the rifle.
'This is how you do it, Jason.'
'Could you be quite? You're distracting me.'
Vanessa was facing the opposite direction. She placed the rifle on her shoulder inverted and used a small mirror to aim.
--Who are these people?
The owner was terrified. He lost more than half of his prizes.
'Show off. Come on, Jason.'
The boys were defeated. Next up was goldfish catching. Hikaru tried catching some for Asuna, but his paper net would always tear apart. He tried several times but couldn't manage a single one.
'It's alright, Hikaru. This game is hard.'
Asuna tried cheering him up. Meanwhile,
'That one swam into my territory. Do not interfere, Vanessa.'
'It's free for all.'
Vanessa scooped the beautiful goldfish, stealing it from Jason.
'She's right, Jason. It's free for all.'
Alex, sprinkled fish food on his side and lured the fish in and kept catching them. Hikaru and the owner both were depressed.
'Hey, there boy. You look strong. Want to give it a try?'
The person who was the owner of a high striker called out to Jason. He showed the mallet to Jason.
'Want to test your strength?'
'I am not interested.'
Jason declined.
'Don't be like that. You could impress Missy by showing off your strength.'
The guy secretly pointed towards Vanessa. Jason was grossed out by the idea.
'No, thanks.'
'Come on, Jason. Impress me.'
Vanessa teased.
'Don't have faith in your strength? Tell you what, I'll give you a prize even if you make it halfway.'
'Fine.'
Jason grabbed the mallet, it was hefty. The owner was glad he lured in another customer. The board was rigged, making it impossible to hit the bell. Jason lifted the mallet and spun, using the momentum to strike the board hard. The force broke the stopping mechanism. The puck rang the bell.
'Jason, I think you broke the poor machine.'
Alex judged.
'It is not my fault.'
He handed the mallet to the owner, and they continued walking.
--Who was that?
The owner was left speechless.
Alex was getting hungry, not having anything solid to eat for 2 days made him restless.
'Anybody want to join our burger eating contest?'
A young man was handing out flyers.
'Free food.'
The competition began and well….
'Am-amazing, contestant number 4 ate 32 burgers.'
Alex won by a 10 burger margin. The audience was stunned by the glutton, who was rubbing his stomach after eating a good meal. Alex stood up and went for a stroll.
'Sir, your money.'
The organizer ran after the winner.
'You can keep it. Thanks for the food.'
Alex went away.
'You'll break your arm if you go against me, little girl.'
A muscular man with his massive arm warned a blonde girl who was challenging him.
'You should worry about yourself.'
They both locked their hands.
'Ready, set, Go.'
The referee started the match.
'What?'
The man tried to end the match quickly, but the girl's hand wouldn't budge. Instead, his hand was going down.
'What are you?'
Vanessa smashed the man's hand on the table.
'Next.'
The other contenders were afraid to compete against her. Asuna consoled Hikaru by buying him cotton candy.
'Don't worry, Hikaru. Alex is Alex and Jason and Vanessa are WS agents. We can't compete with them.'
Hikaru kept feeling inferior.
