Pestilent Tag

_11_ (Lavalee Flamelinne Hanazono's Point of View)

I run to the top floor of the building and continued to annihilate my enemies.

Suddenly, the rain began to pour and I was getting drenched in both blood and water.

I jumped from the edge of the building to the other edge.

The surrounding was full of chaos, the sound of gunshots, screams, and the clanking of different weapons echoed around the place and I continued to navigate my way.

I went downstairs and run a full scan.

I hacked into the server of the facilitator and took the hologram version of the whole place.

There are no rules to say that what I did isn't right because if they are smart, they will do everything to get an ace.

I checked every building until I reached an awfully quiet building. It's very suspicious.

I snuck in quietly and I heard several hushing sounds, no, they're humans whispering.

"What did the boss say?"

"He said he's here."

"What does he mean here?! It's not!"

"Don't shout, you might attract attention, dimwit."

"Then so be it, damn them!"

Suddenly, I heard crashing and shattering sounds.

But what did they say? Boss?

I peeked and I saw that they were not students, because they don't have any metal bracelets.

One thing's sure, they're intruders.

That's why it seemed like their movements seems too stiff for students and trainees because they're not here for the grades, they're here for a mission.

I walked slowly and eliminated them one by one.

"Who's there?!" the guy asked while I was hiding in the darkness

The sound of three gunshots echoed in the room

He shot the wall opposite my location so I took the kunai on my thigh and threw it.

It hit him on his critical point so I took another kunai and targeted another critical point.

I walked toward him when I saw that he was already paralyzed because of his critical points.

"What are you doing here?" I asked with every step I make

"Who are you?" he asked and I took another kunai and placed it with my hand

"You know, it's rude to answer a person's question with another question," I replied and glared at him I can see how he trembled out of fear

I held him by his shirt and pulled him up.

"What are you doing here?" I asked again this time with my threatening voice

"That is none of your business, bitch!" he said so I pulled my kunai from his body and hid the other one again

"Answer me or else I'll send you back to hell," I said and positioned my kunai on his throat

"We're looking for someone!" he said so I pressed the kunai on his throat

"What?" I asked him and glared when he shook his head

"We're looking for the Eel Mafia's illegitimate child! We're just receiving orders from our boss!" he said so I slit his throat

I knew this would happen.

He's not just looking for the Eel Mafia's illegitimate heir but they're looking for my friend. Irene's probably not their main target because of how his eyes stared at me.

It seems that they're here on behalf of the council, or the traitors.

I'm not going to let them involve my friends.

I continued to search for the scanner until I suddenly remembered what the facilitator said earlier.

WE have the scanner.

We need to annihilate people so that we can MAKE the scanner.

Our metal bracelets hold the parts for a scanner, I only have to know who holds which part.

I checked my hologram and recalled everything that happened earlier.

I got it! The trucks!

Each one of us has the same part of the scanner according to which truck we rode on our way here!

I went out of the buildings and started killing. It's been years since the last time I experienced annihilating people, Appa was the one who would give me and nii-sama our missions because he wants us to know our limits in annihilating and the basis for killing.

"What's a pretty girl like you doing here, huh?" A guy said and prepared his brass knuckles

"I don't need anyone to help me." I replied coldly and prepared my kunai

His friends are currently holding a cestus, a gauntlet, and a misericorde.

They ran to attack me which made me smirk. Idiot.

I welcomed them with my kunai and I jumped up.

It feels just like when I'm playing with Freia and Icey.

I won't dare have a sparing with my older brother, Nii-sama.

HE'S HARSH!

That's why all of us are very quick because once Nii-sama finds out that we're sparring he'll join which none of us does, well except Freia, will join and volunteer to do.

I took their metal bracelets and smiled when it's from different trucks.

I took it from their wrists after killing them so it worked.

I went to an abandoned building and used the hologram on the choker to find know what I should do.

A smile formed on my lips when I was able to activate it, I scanned my bracelet and the fireworks flew in the sky.

Later on, I can suddenly hear some static noise. Looks like outer communications are back.

I WON.

I walked out of the building then we're picked up and brought to the center again.

"Let's Welcome our Pestilent Tag Champion, VALERIE KAN!" the facilitator said when I walked up to the stage.

I looked at the screen where our names are being flashed.

#1 Kan, Valerie

#2 Go, Talia

#3 Han, Jira

#4 Jang, Blare

Our scores are just the same but because I was the one who won the last challenge I ended up in first place.

"Now let us ask our Pestilent Tag Champion, Valerie Kan, about her strategy for tomorrow's event. Valerie, anything in mind?" the facilitator asked so I smirked and glanced at the screen before speaking

"I have a tactic and you'll know it soon," I said and went down the stage I walked past the crowd and sat on the farthest seat from the stage.

"Are you joining tomorrow?" Icarus asked and I nodded

"Oh, looks like we'll be on the defense. What do you think, Jax?" Icarus said

"That'll be useless too, Icarus. For sure, they'll attack while defending their flag. " Jaxith said while shaking his head.

"Good thing you know," We turned to where the voice came from and there stood Irene with Jess

"Why are you here?" Jaxith asked them

"Chelsea is asleep, we might disturb her sleep with the noise we make." Irene replied

"It's a miracle! You left your base unguarded? " Icarus asked with a smirk

"Believe me, it's boring. We can't do anything there." Jess said and checked her nails.

It's different from her nail color earlier but I think it's also the same kind of keypad nail lacquer.

"We don't, but you do. Bryle's calling your phone frequently while we're back in the base." Irene teased then we went back to the building, parting ways with Icarus and Jaxith

It's already 1 AM and yet these girls are still awake.
