Working With The System (2)

When the night sky arrived, Emmy ventured into the street, he's more prepared than ever.

Stepping out of the building, the night sky has arrived fully, everywhere and every remnants of the sun were being devour by the darkness of the night.

Emmy started walking out of his street, heading south-west. That's were his target was being spotted when he was busy exploring the district. He followed them silently.

Them, because there are two other boys by his target side, those two, Emmy didn't know them. As they past a dark hallway, the two boy's departed going their different ways. Emmy's target was the only one left walking forward alone.

Emmy followed him and got to know his street and his home. Now he's currently walking to the boy's street to find somewhere to hide and ambush. He had been studying the boy for the last few days, so he knew where to move to, and also, he knew where and when the two boys will depart from.

And now, Emmy is currently in a light up hallway hiding in a special corner that was completely lost from light.

He hid in the corner waiting patiently for the arrival of his target. After what looks like an eternity, a young tall boy arrived and walk towards the hallway.

Emmy didn't know the boy name nor his ability but the only thing he knew was that the boy is one of John, Ben and Terry gangs. And there is another thing he knew....

'Why the f*ck is my heart beating faster, am I scared of him. Argh, damn it, I've prepared for this long enough.'

..... Emmy knew that he can't defeat the boy and seeing him walk towards him, he felt a cold sweat run down his spine.

But he has been preparing for this throughout the last week day, so he focused, gritted his teeth and watch nervously as the boy approach the hallway. He can't use the video to fight in this situation because fighting with the video will make him see through the eyes of the people in the video, which will also allow him to see the arena they were on in the video but he won't be able to see his surroundings, he won't know what's going on around him.

Fighting through the eyes others in the video will make him blind to the real world, he won't be able to perceive his vicinity, at least not with the level he's currently in.

But still, he can use the moves he had learned and perfected by watching the videos, and that's what he's about to do. With the help of the battle style he learned from the kids with different skills, he might be able to do it.

Covering his face with the help of the mask he created from one of his clothes, he brought down his face cap to cover his face well, although the mask has already hidden his face from view but he still decided to use a face cap.

Seeing that the boy was already covering the distance between him and the corner Emmy was hiding, he stretched out his left hand and what appeared was a couple dozens of long straight wood with both edges as sharp as an arrow. The wood themselves look like a javelin.

As the boy walked past the dark corner, Emmy dropped half of the wood on the floor while half was in his left hand, picking up one of the wooden javelin, Emmy moves and hurled the javelin as hard as he could towards the boy's neck.

All Emmy's plan was to attack him unaware, knowing the first and surprise attack is the best way to weak or kill a foe who's stronger than you. And that's what Emmy has done, to give the boy a surprise attack to weakened him so the battle won't be hard for him.

As the javelin moves, a few inches away from touching the boy's neck, he suddenly turned back and caught the wooden javelin midair with his hand.

'Crap, this isn't part of the plan, damn it.'

Emmy cursed as he quickly picked another javelin.

"Oh, who might that be? Trying to kill me unaware. Mehn that's not polite of you."

The boy said as he hurled the javelin back at him with an incredibly speed. The throw was strong and flawless moving with an incredible speed towards his chest.

Emmy was left with no defense and there's no escape. Nothing to do, nowhere to go but there's only one thing he could do.

Moving all the wooden javelin in his left hand upward, he placed it all on his chest to protect himself. The javelin flew like a blink of an eye hitting Emmy's guard and sent him flying back. There's no wound on his chest because the wooden javelins he used as a shield received the damage, some of them broke and splattered everywhere while some were left intact but they were also sent flying back.

Although, the attack didn't hit Emmy, the power behind the attack sent him flying back.

Emmy coughed and spit out a mouth full of blood. 'Crap, mistake, I've made a great mistake, I didn't learn what his ability was. It might be something related to perseverance. Fuck'

Looking up, he couldn't see the boy again and the next he felt was him flying backward again.

"I thought you're one that worth my time, but it's a shame that you are even covering your face, let's see who you are." The boy said walking towards him.

'Damn it.' At that moment, Emmy saw something, slightly blocking his sight.

[A threat have been discovered]

[New Quest Received]

[Defeat your enemy]

[Reward: A random skill]

[Punishment: ???]

'Now this is interesting.'

The boy bent down and removed the cap from his head, then moving his hand forward to torn off his mask, Emmy caught it stopping his hand from moving forward.

"Huh, really?" The boy said surprised and what he felt next was a piercing pain coming from the side of his ribcage, placing his hand on it, his dress is wet. Looking at Emmy who was struggling to stand, he saw a short wooden well shaped dagger in his left hand.

"Now, this is interesting." The boy didn't care, standing up, he threw another kick towards Emmy who tried to protect himself with his hand, stretching his hand forward with his palm opened and the kick hit his palm sending him back again.

Emmy coughed out blood of his mouth and smile. 'That should serve him well.'

The boy stood still looking at his leg, the upper surface of his leg that hits Emmy's palm, a single wooden daggered could be seen planted there with blood gushing out of it like a broken pipeline.

"You bastard, I'll kill you." The boy shouted, shaking with anger. Running forward as fast as he could, a long shining sword appeared in the boy's hand, Emmy has already gotten up and as he saw the sword, his heart skipped for a second.

'Idiot, calm down. It's either you win or you die, no escape.' Emmy said. Using his brain faster, he quickly analyzed his memory trying to remember the best move to avoid or fight a sword user but he couldn't found any one capable doing that in all of the moves he had perfected.

But there's one that he had practiced but hasn't perfected, the moves Raze had used to avoid the scary sword man first strike.

'I hope this bastard doesn't have the same ability as that man.'

The boy swung his sword, instead of swinging horizontally or vertically that could be easy avoided, he simply moves it diagonally, exterminating all of Emmy's plan to dodge it.

Left with no choice and nowhere to escape, Emmy had no choice but to watch the sword to slash through his chest and torn his clothe leaving a shallow long mark across his chest with blood popping out of it.
