Enemies Behind

On the top of the mountain where there are so many trees rocky ground and windy weather. I can clearly see everything up here, trees, flying birds, the river, and also the Outsiders.

"Can you see them, Clair?",

An old man named Cerex asked me.

We were waiting for the group of people.

"No, there's nothing."

After another five minutes of waiting. Our guess appears. They consisted of seven people.

They're walking to the South-West side of the forest.

"Looks like they here."

"Master"

I was going to jump when he stopped me.

"Wait, let the other take care of them."

"Tsk"

The group split into three groups while the other one stays in position. It seems they trying to find the Outsiders. They search on each side of their location. After minutes of searching, they went back to their location.

"I think it's time"

After a second, the Outsiders appear on all sides of the position of the group. They split again but this time, there were four groups.

The Outsiders start to attack them.

"Hey, Clair."

"What!?"

"You seem mad."

"So what?"

Seeing his face makes me already mad.

"Hmm. It seems they have three new people there."

I just notice, they really have three new in the group.

"It seems like."

"Which do you think will give us a problem?"

"Hmm"

I observe them first. The woman with a sword looks strong and the guy with a katana looks fast. As for the guy with knives...

*What a plain guy*

"I think it's the woman or the guy with the katana."

"Wrong"

*What's wrong with that?*

"The woman is strong while the other guy seems to have great speed."

"I know but when it comes to fighting, it's not all about strength or speed."

"What do you mean?"

I glare at him.

"Just watch until it ends."

"There's so many of Outsiders. Do you really think they make it alive?"

He smiles.

After a few minutes, they are already surrounded by the Outsiders.

"So, where's the thing you're talking about."

"Hmmm."

"What?"

I look again below.

"Huh?"

The guy who wears glasses runs outside the barrier.

"Let see what's in his mind."

The guy stops running and the Outsider already surrounded him.

I lean forward to see clearly what's he gonna do.

The guy holds the gun but before he can shoot, the Outsiders jumps to him.

"Heh"

I smirk.

The guy who is going to die, but before the Outsiders lands on him.

"Huh?"

So many bullets pass through Outsiders body. Each one of them drops down to the ground.

"I-impossible."

"I see, a perfect match huh."

*Perfect match?*

"Hey! What happen?", I asked him.

"As I said, it's not all about strength or speed."

"So what did he do?"

"What do you think the most dangerous skill the humans have?", he asked.

"Tsk"

*He asks useless things again.*

He almost asks me every day but in the end, he actually answers it all by himself.

"What is it?"

"Its"

He pointed his head.

"It's the intelligence."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"From all the skill that humans have, it's the intelligence what they most. Whether your opponent is stronger, faster, and maybe more powerful than you, as long as you have a brain, no one can beat you. In order to use your strength and speed properly, you have to be wise. And also it is the easiest to hide, you can play dumb whenever you want and use your brain when needed."

"I see..."

*Maybe he's right after all, to all of the people there, I know he's the weakest but he manages to kill the Outsiders that easily.*

"Let's go back."

"Huh? What about them?"

"Let's leave them be for now and also I going to confront that guy someday."

*Just how strong that guy can be that even Cerex praising him so much.*

We went back to our base.

_______________________

In the place where it's full of darkness, a close place, and the only thing so can see except darkness is Outsiders. There's so many Outsider here with different faces, they were monkeys, wolfs, gorillas and other more.

Here, I'm standing inside a cave hidden in the forest. Beside the old man sitting in a chair. Well this old man, not a human, he has gray-skinned and eyes like a night sky.

It's been three days since we watched how the members of A-1 Headquarters defeated many Outsiders.

Cerex stands from his chair.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to meet someone."

"Hmm."

"Don't be suspicious."

*I really hate this man.*

One of my biggest dreams is to kill this man with my two hands.

"Who you gonna meet?", I asked.

He grins.

"Do you remember the guy who wears glasses?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you saying you're going to meet a human?"

"Indeed"

"Do you really think that man will come near to you? Or are you perhaps saying that guy is a-"

"Take it easy. I'm going to make him come to me, intentional or not."

*This man*

Even at his age, you can see the calmness on his face, it's like that all things are according to his plan.

Cerex is one of the leaders of Outsiders. He is a pure-blood Outsider which makes him stronger than the others.

Cerex starts to walk without any other Outsiders.

He stops walking and turns around.

"Bye. Oh and also don't follow me."

He stares at me.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Oh, nothing"

He continues walking again.

"I'll be back after I'm done."

*Should I follow?*

In order to defeat him, I have to know everything about him, including the persons who are connected to him.
