Chapter 8

In the corridor right outside my room, I saw that the others had also left their rooms and were getting ready. I was curious, what was that sound just now. Like the sound of cannons being fired at a very thick wall. I saw Vanilla, with her long black hair tied up, wearing black clothes, black trousers, and a jet black jacket. Kara and Kiara wear matching clothes, in a similar color, a dark blue hoodie with blue jeans. One more thing that seems strange to me, the three of them wear knee protectors, arms, and gloves that look like gloves for the motorcycle rider. Why do they dress like people who are about to fight? I'm not too sure about this situation, but my instincts told me to hurry up, and it was convinced when Alex and Wulan gasped toward us from downstairs.

"What was that sound just now ?" I asked Wulan and Alex.

"There's no time to explain. Kara, help Alex to prepare the defense of the library. Kiara, come with me to prepare the supplies, Vanilla, accompany Sastra to choose his weapon and give him body armor! " Why is Wulan giving such serious instructions?

"Yes!" Everyone answered with alacrity, except for me.

Vanilla took my hand and then hurriedly pulled me into the training hall.

*****

“Sir, please take the weapon that suits you. I will take the body armor for you. " Vanilla instructed me to go to the weapons section.

When I searched the place, I realized that the library's weaponry collection is very diverse. Large machine guns, crossbows, various long and short rifles, as well as various melee weapons such as swords, axes, and so on. However, there are two weapons that catch my attention. Although the position is not placed in the place of expensive weapons, that weapons look simple, I am very interested in that weapon. A long staff about one and a half meters, along with a dagger placed not far from the staff. The staff color looks ordinary as usual from afar, but when you look closely you could see a slight silvery glow. Likewise, with the dagger, its shape is not beautiful, tends to be strange, with a jet black blade, without any decoration. I put the dagger around my left wrist, and I held the stick in my left hand. Then I hurried over to Vanilla.

When Vanilla saw me with the weapon I was carrying she was shocked and froze for a moment. Her hands trembled to see me. Then shook his head. Why is she acting like that?

“Sir put all these protectors on immediately. We have to hurry. "

I just nodded and immediately put on my knee protectors, sleeves, gloves, and a headgear that was oddly shaped, like a smaller bicycle helmet. Then we descended the stairs and headed to the first-floor living room area.

*****

All were prepared with their weapons. Alex uses a katana of a different size to the average katana on his back. Kara and Kiara use twin weapons, Kara uses twin swords, and Kiara uses two handguns. Wulan looked like an ancient archer with the bow and arrow she uses. Mr. David looks like a gangster with two axes on his right and left waist while holding a shotgun. Finally, Vanilla was ready with a large scythe slung on her back, just like a grim reaper who is about to pick up someone at the end of their life.

"Sastra, good choice of weapons, just like your father and mother. Get ready son, I'm actually worried, maybe it's too early for you to head into battle. But there is no time, you must be able to face all of this. " Mr. David smiled.

"Never mind sir, is there anything I can find out about the situation tonight?"

"Do you remember when we left your house? There were some people who entered through your fence right? "

I nodded.

“They may visit us tonight, whatever happens, don't act rashly. Follow all my orders, when I say you go and save yourselves, you must obey. Understood?"

"Understood sir." We answered in unison.

"Me and Alex would lead the road ahead and open the way, Wulan cover us from behind. Kara and Kiara sneak into the enemy and sabotage from behind. Vanilla guide Sastra through battle. Get ready. "

*****

The library was dark at that time. We tiptoed out of the inner area library into the common area. Through surveillance cameras with the night vision feature connected to Wulan's cell phone, we monitor enemy movements. Actually, there weren't many of them. Only a few people wearing a black suit. There were three people on guard at the front door, five people at the borrowing area, and three people sneaking around the general book area.

As Mr. David's plan, Kara and Kiara managed to settle down and hide in the common reading area while placing some traps that which commonly used for hunting on the floor, Alex and Mr. David fight with the people near the bookcase while Wulan helped by shooting arrows, while Vanilla and I rushed to the borrowing area. Adrenaline flooded every inch of my body, without making a sound I moved swiftly with Vanilla.

The area for borrowing the book is quite extensive. I just realized that this library is very large. My senses sharpened, this waterfall-like rush of adrenaline enhanced my sight as well as hearing. Vanilla and I crept behind the book-borrowing table. With one movement that looks soft on the neck, Vanilla quickly knocks three people behind the borrowing table. But she left two more people who were about two meters from the table

"Master only two people left, let's go forward together," Vanilla whispered softly to me.

"Aren't you able to easily take them down?"

"I could have done it, but you will lose your first fighting experience." Vanilla smiled slightly while tilting her head.

"Ah, so you tested me? OK, let's get started. "

*****

I swung the wooden staff carelessly towards the front and everything was blocked by Wulan. Then with one hard motion, Wulan hit the staff to my arm that was covered with arm protectors, then I fell. How amazing she is, with the appearance that not look-like a fighter at all, she can knock me down easily. I got up again and then started to carry out various attacks and my staff collided with her. I diverted her attention by swinging the stick at Wulan's right arm. Then when she held the attack I swiftly kicked her ankle, suddenly Wulan fell. And I pointed my wooden stick towards her forehead.

"I give up. Wonderful my student, I think in the future you can exceed my abilities. " Wulan raised her hand.

"Thank you, teacher, I'm waiting for that day. Haha haha." I took her hand and helped her up.

“Hey, don't be too confident. I will beat you in the next match. ” Wulan smiled slightly at me, then everyone who was there clapped their hands.

*****

In order to distract the two people, I deliberately threw the dagger in my hand slightly slipped to the right of the ear of the one in front of me, and stuck it into the wall nearby. Instantly at that moment, Vanilla took over the fight with the other person. From afar I thought these people were ordinary size. It turned out that up close these people did not seem ordinary. Like a bunch of Alex making a fitness club. From body morphology, to be honest I'm far from them. The bodies of the people looked stocky. But after I realized Vanilla had just brought down three people without much effort, maybe I should be more afraid of her than these guys. I made a few moves with the stick. With light striking techniques to the ankles, knees, and one heavy strike towards the arm I managed to knock the guy down. Then with a sparkling face, I turned my head towards Vanilla, as if proud of my achievement. But that glowing face immediately turned normal when I saw Vanilla had already defeated the person and was sitting on that person's back.

“How amazing, sir, your first battle experience ended in victory. If I bring a camera I will capture this moment. "

"Ah never mind." I smiled a little while covering my face. It felt a little fun fighting together like this.
