Chapter 49: Flower

"I investigated the scene secretly and trying to not cause any scene and I confirmed that the guy we ordered to complete some missions has died."

A guy, leaning on the wall as half of his body was covered by shadow due to the lack of moonlight from the outside, the windows on this place is shattered and small. Every light is just going through a small hole on the wall except for the windows.

As the moonlight hit the insides, it is not enough to show the other people's faces and needed to really moved on the parts where the light is hitting.

"Do you also figure out who did it?"

A guy who was sitting on a wooden chair has spoken up, his arms and legs were crossed. You can tell that he was the leader of this group just by looking at him and the way he act.

"No, I tried to find out who did it but the only video I found is when that Joshua guy was about to die. He managed to turn on his voice recording chip and then captured a few words from the one who did it. His wiretapped has been destroyed so we didn't actually get anymore evidence besides the few words say by the target before the raid."

The leader sighed as he stands up and then walked towards the cassette player where there is a cassette tape inserted, he played it once again to examine and listen on who could possibly did it.

Bzzt

Bzzzttt

{Aurgh..... Ugh.....}

Thud...

{Hey kid, are you okay?}

{Yes, how about you sir? It seems like you have atleast 3 broken bones}

{I'm ok--}

{MOVE! MOVE! RAID THE WHOLE PLACE!}

Tutututtttt....

Bzzt....

Bzzzt.....

The recording has stopped and all of them didn't say anything, they just stand there and then looked at their leader. They all know that the biggest possibility of the one who killed their ally is the young voice or the second one who talked.

Though not really certain, that was their conclusion for now because there is another problem they are currently facing. That is because a member of DIGIT died.

Due to the death of that certain member, another member of them has followed the path of that guy so they are pretty sure that the one who followed him is also gonna die and they really can't prevent that because they are siblings.

"How about the case of no. 13's death?"

"We don't know who also did that, we tried to investigate the country of where his mission is supposed to be located but we didn't found anything."

"I did."

The big, steel door has been opened as they all looked to that direction, they were all become on their guard as they slowly lift their guns and then positioned their body. Ready to kill the person who just speaks but....

"No..."

"It's me, no need to worry."

A guy with a huge smile and a closed eye was the one that huge door has shown them they were all shocked but decided not to show it to that person since they didnt know if he was an ally or not.

His hands were up in the air, indicating that he was not here to cause any trouble nor even think about it since he surely know that he wqs not going to come out of here alive if he decided to do so.

"No. 10, what are you doing here and how did you managed to find this place?"

A guy who has a huge body and a big scar on both his arms and face, he seems like he let his guard down but if you are really a veteran fighter and knows the way of mercenaries, you would k ow that there is no way you can possibly find a way to attack him.

The guy who is so called no. 10 or the one Jin fights whose bloodlust has alerted the system and causes it to kill him, has looked at him without opening his eye and then smiles. If you saw the way he smiles, you will think that he is not the same guy who almost killed Jin a few weeks ago.

He sits on the wooden chair that the so called leader has been sitting earlier and then crossed both his arms and legs, ready to give them some valuable information because that is the main reason he was here.

"Just say what did you find out about no. 13's death."

A cold voice yet full of intent to kill has spoke, he has a very serious eyes and the way he glarer is gonna send someone to hell if they are not careful or they messed with him.

"Yeah sure, I'd just get straight to the point. No. 1 is still alive."

As soon as he said that, the leader grab his neck and then lift him in the air. He then tried to force his way out by kicking the leader in which he succeeded and then take a little back step.

The eyes of the leader has been filled with hatred and rage. His blood colored eye has become more and more red because of the thing he just said. All of them felt that rage he was having and was about to kill no. 10 but all of them sropped him in which he did.

"Stop joking around, do you really think that we'd believe that?"

No. 10 then tried to catch his breath and then after that, he stand up and then smirk at them. He tried to hide his murderous intent towards them but failed and just stand up, he was already on his limit because of his bloodlust towards the strong.

"I'm not joking and I don't really care if you are gonna believe me or not but I'm telling you guys the truth. I saw him fighting with no. 13 who is unconscious and barely even breathing."

They all looked so shocked except for the leader and did not say anything, they can't really read what is on his mind or was he even thinking at all. They just can't predict everything he was going to do that they just gave out on thinking about his plans and just follow his orders.

"What are we gonna do now...."

They all looked at him, the leader, he was just seriously looking at no. 10 who is now smiling at him.

"No.2?"

A wall full of slashes as they both tried to run in circle towards and then charged at the boss with their weapons, Jin stabbed it in the heart from the front and Julian stabbed it in the back. They finally managed to defeat it after entering this dungeon for the past 2 days.

A portal has opened Infront of them which they enter and finally able to breath the air outside of this portal, the portal they just cleared is B - rank so it is very understandable that they took 2 whole days to clear it and they even barely managed to do it.

"Damn that was super hard to beat..... Let's eat something good later on and rest for a bit....."

"Alright....."

They breath and breath and breath to try and catch their breath because even though they managed to clear it and their stamina has been regained because of the potion, they are still tired due to an unknown reason.

Is it because of the sudden change in their life? Or was it because they almost died? Well, whatever that reason is. It is not like they are going to die when the event they are preparing for is about to happen right?

The thing that was on their mind is clear and they both set it on they're heart as a goal:

Become as strong as you can.

They needed to survive when that happens and they dont want a help from others, they want to protect themselves. Having to rely on other people is not bad but if they felt like you are no use to them, they might asked for something in return which is also nit bad but they are gonna become greedy overtime.

If they needed to become selfish in order to protect their families, they will become selfish. If they needed to kill in order to protect their families, they will kill. If they needed to die for their families... Although they're life was short..... They will die for their family.

"Alright then, where do you wanna go? It's my treat so just pick any place you want." Jin says to Julian who is now currently fixing his clothes after showering.

Both of them already look handsome, the fact that both of them are best friends now and was about to become the "Strongest" in the future, just what kind of fate is waiting for them?

"Wha...? I don't know any place to eat.... So you pick...."

"Alright then, let's go to....."

At the very far forest, where there is a very big Acacia tree, a girl was holding a wooden katana. She was swinging, slashing and stabbing the tree over a hundreds of times now. She refused to give up because she has this feeling that telling her that she needed to become strong in order to protect herself.

Overconfidence without skills is foolish. If you have skills and can do the thing you are so confident of, you can consider yourself just good at the thing you are confident of.

For your information, she was just the one who created that swords. She created two just in case the other one gets destroyed but now, she changed her mind and decided to use both of it. She didn't watch any video or recordings on how to create a wooden sword, she just created it based on her imaginations.

Bam

Bam

Bam

"Aurgh!"

She let go of the two wooden sword she was holding and then sit in the muddy ground, she was wondering on how to get stronger using a katana and how can she used it on a fight. It is not like a monster or a lot of different creatures is just suddenly gonna appear on earth in the future and cause havoc and chaos in humanity.

"Sigh..... I don't need to give up.... It's just been a few days since I started to go here.... I mean I am going here secretly before even the fieldtrip....."

Swooooshhhh

She flicnhed as she took the sword on the ground and then swing towards the direction of where a object was supposed to hit her and saw a thread wrapped in a small dagger made out of wood, it can truly be used as a perfect weapon combination because it can be used as a long ranged attack.

"W-who's there?!"

"Hehe....."

She heared a giggled coming from the tall bushes about 10 feet away from her, that giggle was familiar and when she go to that direction, her suspicion of who might that person be is really the person she was expecting.

"Ara!"

"Hahaha!"

A laugh has been let out by the girl who threw the thread wrapped around the wooden dagger. They both laugh and then eat with the food Ara has bought there, she bring a small basket with fruits and sandwich in with a juice of course.

They enjoyed it to the fullest and then after a few hours of giggling and telling each other their stories, they decided to train with the weapons they created in which neither of them won. Sally's weapon is either gonna get crushed because of how many time she hit it on a tree or Ara's weapon is gonna get it's thread break. They just laughed whenever that happen.

Now, they are resting again. After this, they finally go down of the mountain. And on the way down, they still kept telling each other stories and laughing about it.

"You know Sally, your name sounds really cute."

"What? How do?"

"I dont know.... Maybe you're just cute."

And they both giggled again about it.

"You know, my real name isn't actually Sally...."

"Oh yeah? What is it then?"

"It's Hana."
