Chapter 38
Title: Tricky...
….
Currently, two people are walking amongst a lush forest filled with beautiful trees and animals. They were two pretty females, one has dark hair that runs down to her lower back, blue hawk-like eyes who seem to always be concentrating on something. The other has orange hair that goes down to her shoulders, and a mischievous smile on her face.
"We should go to Masadora, a friend of mine there knows about a very rare card and how to get it." Says the orange-haired girl with a smile on her face.
"No." Says the black-haired woman with a calm look on her face.
"C'mon Ames, don't be like this~" Whines the orange-haired woman.
"No Aurora, it isn't that easy. You are too trustful of people like that." Says the black-haired woman now identified as Ames.
"But c'mon~ we are strong enough that even if it's a trap, we can survive it." Says Aurora with a pout on her face. Though she seems annoyed, her beauty is only enhanced by it.
Ames only sighs at this and answers. "Well-"
Fwish!
Before either of the women could react, they felt their necks were being pierced by knives.
Two small figures in cloaks come from their hiding places as this happens. They are Karla and Sub, both hiding their identities.
"Hmmm… let's see what they got." Says Sub as he checks through the rings and cards that the women had with them.
Karla nods at that, she is completely quiet as she listens to this. She knows that she mustn't make any noise in a situation like this… she must appear the 'weaker' one.
….
While Sub and Karla were doing that, a couple of hundreds of meters away. Two people were on top of a mountain in camouflage gear. One of them is a muscular man and the other is a small figure, they are both using binoculars.
"Hmm~ they seem strong." Says the muscular man.
The smaller person says. "Bol, don't become too excited or you will do something reckless."
"Oya~ Ain, are you worried about me?" Asks the man amusingly, as he takes off his hood and it reveals a bald man with a lot of scars at the top of his head. He has intense green eyes that make it seem like he is looking straight at someone's soul.
Then the smaller figure takes off her hood, and it is obvious that she is a teen, she has blond hair and cold golden eyes.
"Bol… take this seriously…" Says Ain, her face devoid of emotion. "...or I will kill you."
Bol feels a chill go down his spine as he hears this. "Okay~ Okay~ no need to be so forceful Ain."
"Hm!" Ain just hums in annoyance at this. "We have observed that both of them are dangerous, and from what we have seen recently, the boy has the ability to turn his Nen into a hard substance, so a Transmuter most likely-"
"A good one at that." Adds the burly man. Ain frowns at the man and looks at him with a cold look in her eyes.
"Interrupt me one more time and I will kill you." Says Ain casually, as if talking about the weather. "The girl hasn't done much, but from the way she moves her bandages, it's safe to assume that she is a manipulator since her bandages haven't disappeared or anything like a Conjurer's would. She is most likely the more dangerous one and has a manipulator ability, so that makes her more dangerous than the boy."
"But he is more versatile than her." Adds Bol, his face fully serious now as he observes Sub and Karla.
"Still less dangerous though." Intervenes Ain, as she says that, Bol looks at her with an unsure look on his face. So she continues explaining to him. "Tell me, the kid seems like at best at close quarter fights. Still though, which one would you be most wary of in a fight?"
Bol sighs at this. "The girl obviously. Though the boy is still stronger than her."
"But the girl is more dangerous." Finishes Ain as she gets up, leaving no more room for discussion. "We need to go and prepare a plan against them. We must not only just win… we must crush them absolutely."
"Yea~ yeah~" Says Bol as he scratches the back of his head in annoyance.
….
As this was all happening Sub suddenly stops and frowns.
"What is wrong?" Asks Karla. But Sub doesn't say anything he looks around and his frown gets even deeper.
'I feel like someone is looking at me.' Contemplates Sub, as he felt someone's gaze on him. But he couldn't sense where it came from. Still, that was enough to put him on the edge, he trusts his instincts in cases like this.
….
-Sub (MC) POV-
After killing those two girls and getting their rings, we decide to go and sell the useless cards that we don't need. We get the money (transformed as cards) and immediately I frown as I look at the shopkeeper in front of me.
He has a brown afro, pale skin and his blue eyes look at me. The shopkeeper is smoking a cigarette as usual. I look around and this is only a shop with some cards on display.
But I can't help it, something feels strange, I signal this to Karla who is immediately on guard. Her bandages float around her body, her pupils dilate as her concentration goes to max.
"Uhhh…" The shopkeeper looks at us nervously. "You are not supposed to use Nen in this place."
I don't say anything at that and use my own Nen and turn in to have hard rock-like properties all over my body.
*pssst*
Suddenly I hear a sound like a candle is burning. It takes a second for my brain to catch on to what it was…
BOOOOM!!!
I immediately run towards Karla to use my body as a shield. She is the most vulnerable at this moment, and I am going to be hit anyway, better stop her from dying.
I don't even have time to feel the heat that passes through me. The second thing I feel is a metal shapel sink into my knee.
Sh*t…
My whole body fills with pain as the fire licks my skin.
…
I don't know how big the explosion was but in that split second, it passes and I am atop Karla.
"Ugh!" Groans Karla slightly in pain, I look at her. She seems fine except for some bleeding deep cuts, and that is when I catch sight of her lower body… she has no legs… only two bleeding stumps.
I wince at that slightly, I try to get up.
Baam!
But I immediately fall on the ground, I look down, I see two metal shrapnel stuck in my knees and they are bleeding profoundly too.
I look at my body and see that my right arm was mangled at a strange angle too.
Sh*t this is a bad situation.
I look around and see people from the city looking at us with calm looks on their faces. What the hell is going on here? They don't even seem surprised?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!!
….
AUTHOR NOTE:
Welp… what is going on?!?!? MC ambushed, with a bomb?? What is going on with the citizens in the city?
