Chapter 40: Ch. 40 21st floor pt. 1
( Ashborn Pov )
" Why... did you figure him out?" Viole asked Wangnan.
" 'Cause... I also want to be forgiven by others." He replied.
" That's not a bad thing..." I spoke as I drank my canned tea.
They continue talking for a while as Viole asked why the man wants to change about the tower.
' A bigger sky... huh. That's nice.' I close my eyes as Wangnan left the area, but Viole stayed.
" Not gonna give me a hug?" I smiled as I looked at Viole.
" Bam?" He stared at me for a while before opening his mouth.
" You've changed."
" Of course. I met new friends, without them. I'm sure I would've gone back to being my silent broody self."
" And you got yourself a new team as well..."
" I want another fight." Viole asked.
" You fo realize that I could kick your ass." I smirked.
Viole nodded.
" Sigh. Alright then. Let's make it quick, and while we're at it. I'll introduce my team to you as well."
Viole nodded silently.
" You're just like Seung."
The next morning we were told we passed to the next floor. The 21st floor.
( Yeon Pov )
" So, you made it up here a month ago. That's amazing. How'd you go up the tower so fast? I'm sure you'll ve a great ranker." My friend spoke.
" Haha. I'm flattered, Ms. Ryuna."
So you're stating with your team now? I can't imagine your teammates must be! They must all be from a great family like yours right, Ms. Yihwa?"
" Oh... that's not true. They aren't the people you think they are... they're not from the great families, but they're good people. We've gotten along well since the last exam."
" Actually, in the last exam, we would have failed the test if I hadn't found the enemies plan and blocked it. I wasn't given any credit for it. It's a bit tough."
" Oh... how humble you are! Helping your teammates without showing off! That's clasy and noble of you!"
" No... not really... it's just the right thing to do..."
" Oh, by the way, did you hear the rumors? A new FUG slater nominee has joined this exam. And... I heard about a knight, Ashborn, oh to be on the same team as him. I'll do anything!"
I remembered the man Ashborn, and she wasn't too far off as he was a kind man who fought Viole.
Ms. Ryuna started to talk about the FUG slayer, Viole.
' Sorry, Ryuna.. but I'm one of those nasty teammates...'
( Ashbkrn Pov )
" Yawn! I'm hungry." Yui muttered as she hanged from the edge of the couch.
" Still can't believe your friend let us stay with him and his team." Arie spoke, and Seing nodded.
" Well, it's too save some money. Besides, I haven't seen him for so long." I replied.
" But he's a FUG member." Arie raised an eyebrow, I thought you hated them?" Arie asked.
" Oh, I do. But Viole is my friend." I replied.
" Come on, Yui, let's get some food."
" Yes!!"
I walked downstairs to see Viole, Hwa Ryun, and Jinsung.
I unconsciously forget the room as I sat across Jinsung.
" Uhm, do you gus know each other?"
" Yeah, he's an ex FUG member." Jinsung spoke.
" What!?" Everyone shouted.
" Yeah, then this bastard ripped my throat out." I replied, causing Jinsung to scratch his head.
" Could you forgive me if I said I cried for your funeral?" Jinsung asked.
" Fuck no." I replied.
" anyway, viole is amazing! He is able to copy other people's move only seeing them once." He praise Viole acting like nothing had happened.
I got up and went into the kitchen to see Yui looking into the refrigerator with her fur standing up since she is afraid of Jinsung.
( Wangnan Pov )
" You're lucky, he decided we to let you live. Congrats. "
" W..what do you mean...?" I asked.
" The head of the FUG want viole to go up the tower with a team worthy of his power. Not a team full of defects like this. He didn't come here to see Viole."
" He came eliminate us." I looked back to see Ashborn behind me.
" Correct. But he didn't because you are here, Zero."
' What?'
There seemed to be a connection between them as they stared at each other.
" Where's Jinsung?" He asked.
" at the rooftop." Hwaryun replied.
" The next time he shows infront of me again, I'll kill him." Ashborn spoke.
After that he left with his daughter.
( Bams Pov )
" Bam, your new teammates seem fun. I'll talk to Mirchea. There might be some complaints, but they won't do anything about it right away."
" It might sound weird... but I've wished for you to be happy since the first time I met you six years ago. I don't know what you think of me saying that.. considering I'm the one forcing you to live a life that you don't want."
" But be happy... as viole. And as for Zero. What ever happens to us whether one of us lives or dies, I need you to accept that."
( Ashborn Pov )
" Zero... or should I say Ashborn." Hwaryun opened her mouth.
" Hwaryun...are trying to seduce me again?" I asked.
" Hmm, not this time. But I am here to warn you that the higher members are keeping an eye on you." She said before leaving the hallway.
I entered mynroomntobsee everyone inside with their weapons in hand just in case.
" Good news! We lived. Bad news! We have the FUG'S attention."
" Tsk!" Arie clicked her tongue and Seung patted Yui's head to calm her down.
I sighed and sat down.
" Sorry everyone." I apologized.
" its fine."
" Hm."
" Don't worry."
The thre of them consoled me as I lowered my head.
" If we're going to get caught by FUG than we'll might as well fight together. " Arie spoke gaining everyone's approval.
" Sigh, you're right." I shook my head and regained my resolve.
" I'll be back." I said as I exited the room and went towards Jinsung on the rooftop.
" They're funny, aren't they?" Jinsung looked back towards me.
" Yeah... but try anything... I'll kill you and that bastard over there. " I pointed at the other FUG slayer.
" Karaka."
" I would like to see you try. But don't get cocky, I'll rip your spine out."
" And I'll rip your throat out." I threatened.
