Chapter 36: Team Fight!
....
"We're going to fight them right?" Jade asked him.
He nodded.
"But, they're strong! I saw it with my own eyes!"
She then continued...
"I paired with a kid named Void. He's is the real deal. He can kill WITHOUT hesitation! What if the Organisation allows us to use affinity?
"Then this is great!"
He smiled.
'They're both lunatic!' She thought.
10 minutes later...
This fight is going to be exciting.
A stage like a coliseum suddenly pops out in the horizon.
"...."
It was a big fighting arena!
But what made them shock isn't just the arena itself! Every side of the arena was full of people!
'So they're going to make use of this battle huh? Tsk! It bit a problem for us right?" A team of 5 is in the fire...
After the trial, they run into the random area. The team of Five promised to find each other.
"Since they want to publicize this fight?" Dou asked her companions.
"Maybe...."
"Guys... will you help me?"
She asked as if begging.
"Of course Captain! We can't live without you. You're the heart of the Team. We struggled too much this time. We're not going back!"
"Right!"
"We're going to fight!"
And the rest nodded.
She was stunned at her teammates.
'They're willing to help me out?'
"But..." She muttered.
With her attitude... the rest of the team consoled her...
"It's the okay captain. If we die here. Don't worry. We are living because of you. We promised to follow you even in death!
"This..."
She cried...
"I can't just accept it..sniff...you don't know how worried I am when you left me alone in the battlefield....sniff.. please ... sniff.. don't die for me...sniff."
Her pink her swayed from the ground.
The sisters hugged her.
"Don't worry... sniff... I'll do my best to protect all of you."
This team of Dou is also numbered in 5. They survived in different teams after the trial.
...
Then the watches rang again.
'Tap'
Everyone tapped their watches...
"A team fight is going to take place. This battle will proceeds in the arena after the team pick. Please have your team ready.
Rules:
1. The team should not be lower than 2 and higher than 5.
2. Killing is not prohibited.
3. The use of affinity is now unbanned.
Note: Your watches deactivated the seal. Affinity is now unbanned.
4. Leaving out of the vicinity of the arena will be considered as a loss.
5. Do not belittle your enemy.
The fight will begin at 3, 2, 1.....
Slaughterer found this movable.
"Why do they want us to from 2 - 5 team members? Isn't that a cheat to other teams with 3-2 team members?" Jade asked him.
"No, it is not. You'll know later."
Of course, she doesn't know that there are some freaks here who are into the killing.
Numbered isn't that great!
As long as you're strong numbers did not matter!
He walked away...
Of course Jade followed him. She got nothing to do anyway.
He is walking to someone.
'Short Hair'
'Pure Black'
'Adorable looks'
This face is the thing that he remembered the most.
'Purple.'
With a longing face... He wanted to say something like 'Thank You!' 'I'm sorry!' 'How are you?' 'Did you eat well?' These phrases... is just a mere unfinished.
During his days at Sins. They would talk shortly. Most of it was fighting and killing. They're just void from feelings. As a trained Assassins, it is a must!
Until they get to know each other like having names and so on.... as a friend.
Till the last day of his breath. Purple was there. She protected him. Even her life was on the line. She has forgotten her plan.
She wanted to be with him. That time after the massacre in Ferronil mines happened.
But that died down.
She went straight to the other planet that is called as Sombier.
Yet she met Jade and the two tattoed soldiers.
"So where is that trash!"
She holds her neck.....
"Ugh..." She's gasping for air...
"Uk...I do not walk yuk take abak... I bekk yokk."
She can't talk that clearly.
"Ah.....hahh.."
She let a deep breath.
Jade thrown her.
'This Elementalist!'
She knew these people.
They are tattoed. As long as you have that tattoo on your collar bones then you're Elementalist. And that cannot be fake.
'If only I had that body! I'll kill you!'
She vented her anger in thought.
"Now say it."
Jade grasp her mouth forcefully.
"Uloloolll" She let a howl. That sounded just like that because Jade pricked her cheeks too much.
"SAY IT!"
She yelled at her face.
Purple can only accept her fate. She forced her head to nod.
Then...
Her body was sealed.
and they disappeared...
.....
"Purple." She muttered her name.
"?" Purple looked at him.
She still remembered that scene.
She blushed a little but didn't make it too concealing.
Of course, Slaughterer wouldn't see it. His eye-seeing sense isn't that concentrated when his mind is occupied
'Why is this kid keep following me?' She thought.
'This kid isn't normal. He doesn't have these feeling like living.'
"Eyes this deep. Held a great meaning"
She wanted to say this out but... a guess is a guess.
Her intuition is correct but his attitude was still the same...
"Wanna Kill?"
"Ekk!"
She's taken aback by his words.
Of course, Slaughterer was used that way. He was lifeless to the core when it's all about killing.
'This kid is giving me a creep. Just like that kid I met in the trial.'
'A contender!' She thought.
And the other reason why he spoke that lightly. Is because of the familiarity toward her.
He knew she's taking revenge for her family... and that was the only thing he knew...
As an orphan.
"What do you mean?"
"I want you on my team!"
Jade and Purple were taken aback for the second time.
'I don't mind keeping another member.. but this kid is a bitch!'
Her intuition is telling her to not take her in from the team.
She wanted to stop him from pursuing but she still remembered the scene where he bullied a kid.
"I want you on my team!" He said for the second time.
"Why?" She asked. Because she wanted to know.
"It's just my guts."
"Are you in or out?"
'I like this kid.' She thought.
She smiled. Happily accepting the invitation.
For the 1st time! He saw her smiled.
"...."
But the shirt moment was interrupted by Jade.
"Stop that!"
"You're taking too long!"
He's consciousness is back!
'What's wrong with this trash! He's making me angry!' She thought.
"Then let us go."
He ended the conversation. The time is ticking so he didn't find another member.
He was the lead.
And the two followed him.
He looked at the Arena and Smiled.
'This feeling is great!' He thought happily.
"I will protect you this time, Purple." He muttered this out.
Of course, no one heard him.
