Chapter 6: Playing Tag (1)
"Hey, you…"
"Yes? What brings the young mistress of the Gentle Storm Clan and young master of the Golden Faith Clan to this lowly peasant on this fine evening?" I turned my head a mustered up a smile
"It's 8 in the morning…" Jun-seo said in a monotone voice
"Ah, my apologies, you see, I have not receive a proper education since birth, therefore I am unable to tell the difference between day and night" I spoke in a solemn tone
"…"
"Hm… Shin really was right, just by the mere action of you breathing, it's already enough to piss someone off…" Mia said as she observed me like I'm an exotic animal being contained in a glass box
'Wow, what an asshole'
Who the fuck goes around spreading rumors about their conrade after being told they were being way too clingy
I don't know why, but, the whole idea of starting a probability storm sounds a bit more pleasurable now.
"Alright, get to the point, what do you want?"
"We're just here to deliver a letter" Mia answered as she pulled out an envelope from her pocket, "It's from Eliss, she's a bit shy, you see.."
"Oh… sorry, tell the princess that she's not my type" I brushed them off casually.
"…"
"…"
"It's technically compensation for the other day…" Mia corrected
"Ah, I knew that, thanks" I hastily and shamelessly grabbed the envelope from Mia's hand
"This guy does not really give single a fuck does he…" Mia whispered to Jun-seo in a clear audible volume
Yes, you are absolutely correct, Mia
Ignoring Mia, Jun-seo suddenly grabbed my shoudler, "Are you into dudes…?"
"What?" I returned a question in confusion
"Look, either Eliss is your type, or you gotta be into dudes"
What kind of logic is that?
Ah right… this motherfucker is head over heels for her
"Oh, nah, sorry that's not really the case, so please don't get your hopes up…"
"This fucker…" Jun-seo muttered as tick marks appeared on his face, "Hey, Mia, can I cut him down already…"
"Um… Young Mistress Mia… can you stop your partner before he try and turn me into a guinea pig to unleash his kinks on" I said a I slowly back away, "cause the 'cutting down' part doesn't really sound too pretty"
"…"
"…"
"Oh my, would you look at that, it seems that it about time for our class, I bet Mr. Aldir would be here in three, two, o-"
"Alright, brats! Change into your combat uniform, we're playing tag" it at that moment front entrance of the classroom slammed open and Aldir appeared through it
"What?" The class looked at Aldir questionably.
—-
"Hmm… not too bad…" I commented as I test the flexibility of the combat uniform
It was a simple long, elastic white pants and skin-tight black shirt
Though, it was thin and extremely light, the property of it was enhanced with mana, this allowed provide comfort as well as protection that can even protect one's self from gun bullets
Well, I mean not that much people would be affected by gun bullets anyways with mana enhancing the body
We were instructed to gather at training ground 11
We entered the training ground through a passage way arriving in a small open area surrounded by a large forest of greens
As I gaze training ground, I mesmerized by the ever-expanding forest that seem to stretched beyond infinity
I also noticed a lot of guys' gaze fell upon, the girls in tight combat uniform, which I have to admit do look quite nice on them as the author have described
But do I give fuck? Absolutely not
'All they see is breast and thigh… no, you degenerate scums it's all about that as- *cough*…astounding personality…'
Jokes aside…
'These peasants have such shallow taste in women…' sighed the 25 years-old virgin
"Welcome to Training ground 9: Forest of Hypnotic Curiosity" Aldir introduced, "Today, we're playing tag"
"Tag?"
"That's right, think of it as a test of judgement, adaptability, and spatial awareness I guess" Aldir continued, "This is also chance to show a bit of your combat and physical prowess"
"Alright, here" Aldir then pressed a button which caused multiple wooden boxes to appear, and inside them, were every single one of the weapon we saw on out first day, "These are weakened versions of the weapons that you obtained on the first day, with the mana runes are placed on the weapon along with the technology of your combat uniform, these weapon can reduced one's attack power drastically when necessary"
"The rules are simple, among the 250 of your brats here, 20% of you are going to be the 'Chasers', distinguish by the color red, and the rest are going to the 'Runners', distinguish by the color blue" Aldir explained as the students' shirt began to shift in a mix of red and blue, "The Chasers' mission is to catch all of the Runners, you can do so by simply tapping your weapon 3 times on the Runners' Combat Uniform, of course, the Runners can also fend off the Chasers by tapping on the their Combat Uniform 3 times as well, this would allow them to freeze the Chasers for 15 seconds"
Aldir then proceed to take a deep breath before continuing, "Simply put, the one who's wins the quick exchange gets to escape from or catch the other, oh right, and lastly, once the Chasers has catch a Runner, that runner would also become a Chaser as well…"
Excited murmurs filled the crowd as Aldir finish his explanation
"the Chasers shall start in the east of the forest while the Runners shall start on the west side if the forest, you have exactly 15 minutes to get into your positions, and once a loud explosion resounds, signaling the beginning of the game, you shall have 1 hour to perform your duty"
"Any questions? Yes? I'm not gonna answer so disperse! Go! get lost , you
brats!" Aldir shouted as began to lay down on the ground and started sleeping
"Well, it looks like we have some people coming for our ass, don't we, partner?" I nudged Shin as I noticed 2 pairs of eyes staring at me.
"No, I think they're only coming for yours…" Shin said with a concerned tone
"Anyways can you share that Veil of Concealment of yours, we are in quite the tight spot, you know…" I requested, ignoring his previous comment
"No."
"Asshole…"
"The feeling is mutual.."
"No, but seriously, conceal my mana for me… I smell a rat…" My silver white glowed dangerously through the shadows of the forest.
"Oh… so you truly wasn't lying about your identity as a prophet…" Shin muttered.
[Eternal Mimicry - Mana Alteration]
Immediately I felt almost as if a invisible and weightless blanket have covered me gently.
'Good, this should be enough to conceal what our mana signature feels like'
In truth in the depth of this forest there is currently a spy sent by the demon king to find out who was responsible for Arthraz's death
Now since I have directly harm Arthraz's marking, it is natural that a bit of my mana signature was felt by the demon king.
It would not be wise for that being to be aware of my identity just yet…
'But Shin would still be the most familiar to him as he did finish off Arthraz…'
"Get rid of him…"
"This is also why I hate you prophets, too weak, always barking out orders" Shin muttered as he activated his skill, "I figured you would need this, thus, I was going to do it anyways…"
[Eternal Mimicry - The Great Surge - Overdrive]
Immediately, Shin, who was standing beside me, vanished at a speed that broke the sound barrier
"Man people are really scattered, just how big is this place…"
Accompanied by the sounds of wind howling, I shifted different parts of my body into wind and shifted them back for warm up as I walked to my position.
"But anyways, While he's doing that, let's get this game started shall we…" I muttered.
