Chapter 7

As we were each doing our own thing we were then teleported to a room with a flag in the center

Can't we even catch a break

"hey look it's your boyfriend" Jaken points

"Hello everyone, for today's event two people will each take turns to battle each other for the flag, each of you has five minutes now," he said as he disappeared

We see Lisa already in the arena as she waves at me

I simply ignore her

Just then the mayor enters the arena as well

She quickly went for the flag but before she could make any other movements the mayor sent a knife through her skull

She dropped dead as he took the flag from her lifeless hands

No.... Lisa

As the mayor is teleported back I fall to my knees and try to keep myself from crying

"Hold it together," Ava said as she held my shoulder before entering the arena

A tall blue-haired boy also entered the arena

"Yo it's a tradition for opponents to introduce themselves I am Jade you are," he asked

" I don't have time for this"

she swings her sword at him and some red beam of light comes out but he quickly creates a large wall of ice to shield himself then he immediately freezes her in place

"Turns out you were just some weakling" he grabs the flag

"Ava don't tell me you're going to lose here without making it anywhere!" I yell out to her

Just then a beam of light emanates from the sword causing it to shatter

"Seems like she got stronger" Jake grins as we watch the battle in anticipation

she then directs an attack on Jade causing him to fall and lose a lot of blood

"Not yet" he makes ice rise from below her but she just jumps and cuts off the ice

When the time was over Ava was the one with the flag

When she came back from the arena we both praised her

"We knew you could do it" Jake beamed

"Thanks for encouraging me Lee" she muttered

Damn like is it that hard to say thanks

"you're welcome" I smiled at her

Now Jake went to the arena a kid with white hair also entered the arena

As he was about to attack the kid sent an energy blast knocking him out instantly as both of them were teleported away

"Damn it he went ahead and lost to a kid" Ava slammed her hand on the wall

I feel sad as well he was a companion I could trust in this hell hole and he was eliminated just like that

Damn it!

A blond-haired girl stepped into the arena and I stepped in as well

I see her grow into a giant but I turn myself invisible and as soon as I get close to her I punch her in the head causing the giant image to fade

Ah it was an illusion

"where are you and how dare you hit a girl like that" she screamed

Melodramatic much

"Sorry but I treat everyone equally" I strangled her from behind making her unconscious as I made my way and grabbed the flag

I soon teleport back along with Ava

I find Jake looking rejected in the room

"I guess I was too weak," he says as tears flow freely down his eyes

"No, you weren't that he had a high soul affinity"

Ava sat in silence as I tried to comfort him

"I couldn't bring her back," he said trying to wipe off his tears

"Her?" I asked

"I and my girlfriend were always together until we met a killer I was supposed to die but she stepped in and sacrificed herself" he looked more saddened as he talked

"You shouldn't be sad like this, I'm sure wherever she is she would be sad to see you cry so smile for her" I gave him a measuring smile as he hugged me tightly

"You better make it to the top" he hit my chest

"Of course I will" I replied before we parted ways

"You should have at least said something" I scolded Ava

She simply looked away and ignored me
