"Legends!" "Titans!" "Legends!" "Titans!" "Legends!" "Titans!" "Legends!" "Titans!" "Legends!" "Titans!" "Legends!" "Titans!" "Legends!" "Titans!" "Legends!" "Titans!" "Legends!" "Titans!"
The huge crowds cheers their lungs out and the instruments playing echoing the clouds away. The stadium is undoubtedly twice if not three times bigger than the one in Meondosi and the seats are jam packed like canned beans. Heck there are even many flying magic tools and vehicles around the stadium flying banners and orbs.
(I'm surprised there's a stadium this big in this city and I can't even see it before getting close. This city really is big).
The crowds soon starts to chime with the music as they seem to sing in excitement with our movement getting closer to the opening when,
"Hoh, so you know those people huh, Sova? Then they really are sent by Yuwei."
"Eh, do you know something, Da Shifu!?"
I look at Moriz who spout out like he knows what is happening but he simply keep up his smile and proclaim,
"Alright, you lousy lots! Battle station! Remember your roles!"
He ignores me as the others start strapping their gears and the opposing team does the same. I look closely at the opposing team, from Eun-Yong who is grumpy at the giant titan who stands 8 or maybe 10 times taller than Sis Rubeca, the giant in question who acts like someone on a picnic, a guy I don't know with a weird hero of Hyottoko mask from the Eclipse Empire and finally, Ha-Yeon following along happily behind them before she notice me and waves before she puts her gear and I do the same.
(They really do know who I am even when I'm in disguise).
From the sudden invitation to the palace, then escort to Miso's concert then suddenly playing in the stadium. Then there's the problem with Jana...
(What the hell is happening!?)
I shout in my mind as we get sucked in.
*************************************
"Hraagh!"
"Die!"
"Keep them at bay!"
Fighting unknown soldiers on unknown vast land, we are now sieging a fortress in the middle of a large field. The scale we have is just ridiculous compared to our first battle between thousands, now we fight with hundred of thousand as I see wave after wave of soldiers rushing to climb and board the walls guarding by the opposing team. The gear provided compared to the previous battle is significantly different and looks so much better here since not only does our armour been decorated but equipped with more ceremonial gear.
"T-This is insane! I never seen so many people! This is even crazier than the previous stadium!"
Daniel scream in owlian as he is simply paralyzed by the sight and I can relate. Stationed upon the small slope that acts as a cover and trench near the walls, we have dig ourselves here and started firing upon the city walls for support. The exchange of endless arrows between both sides blot out the sun as I wonder if this is what war will be like.
(Weird, this might be my first time in the middle of a large battlefield. Yet why don't I feel so shaken?)
I think as I pull the trigger upon the large artillery that explode the surface of the walls, our continues troops to push further in... Remembering the small short brief Moriz gave us, simply put both Moriz and Cheo will push the walls while both Daniel and I will support on the back with covering fire and artillery.
Still using the same culture or whatever it is, Cheo with his horse mastery fights atop of the walls and even somehow walk vertically with his mount which is a sight to see while Moriz is doing his best climbing and setting checkpoints for his troops to climb and pushing the enemy back. So far, we are barely making any progress.
"Ma'am! Group 557 has been wiped out! Requesting replacements!"
"Give them! But bring more shield bearers! Remember, Archers are to simply provide cover fire, not to kill enemies! Leave those to those two, now go!"
*Clop* *clop*
"Wait, isn't 557 just close to our-"
*Bam*
"Daniel!"
I pull the stunned Daniel and,
*Shiing* *Sever!*
"Arrgh!" "My arm!" "Enemy attack!" Protect the generals!"
(Woah, they are so real. This is really Owlian tech? No more importantly!)
I look at our assailant group who is being surrounded yet not stopping on their rush, forming a reverse wedge formation they easily kill our light armoured soldiers and even the reserve shield bearers are having trouble holding them back. Leading from the front is a familiar face, her golden eyes beneath her thick helmet shines as she then try to attack me but stopped by another group of reserve shield bearers.
"How are you here?"
(This position may be close to the walls but she has to cut through Moriz's reserve troops and even if she did, she will be surrounded as well. Better yet),
"Why are you here!?"
"Hahaha! Wow! Man, I am still not used to seeing you and you just had to change your looks. We got a message for you but we can tell you after we had our fun! Charge!"
Ha-Yeon raises her twin swords and accompanied by her heavy armoured calvary of six legged beasts with thick layers of colourful armour simply roll over the shield bearers as I run away with Daniel in my arms. Rather than using bows, I grab the javelins and throw it at her but my attack simply bounce off her armour and I am sure now,
(I am so much weaker in this game).
"Hahaha! Are you stupid!? Didn't you read the Kushita calvary has the thickest armour and shield protection. No puny range weapons but artillery can hurt us. But that is useless as well when with enough control our calvary can easily dodge those slow projectiles, Hiyaah! Double time! Don't hold a grudge on me!"
Not only being slower than in real life, my speed is heavily hampered by carrying Daniel around as Ha-,Yeon easily catches up to us.
"Just drop me big bro!"
"No way, I'm doing that!"
"Noo! She's getting closer!"
"Hraagh!"
*Clang*
"Huh?"
"Cheo!"
"Awfully close of you to call me only by my given name. But, leave this to me. And... haah, they definitely know who I really am after you shout that."
Cheo arriving at the nick of time halted Ha-Yeon just barely with a small detachment quarter of her size.
"Hoho! You must be one of the Heroes of the Coalition! I definitely want to try my blade with you. His hyped up grandson doesn't compare to what his gramps did."
"Heh, that's kinda harsh thing to prefer his old man over him. Still, I would be more happy if a lady would ask me for a normal date than a bout with swords."
"You talk big for a loner."
"Shut it!"
*Clash*
Ha-Yeon started a messy melee with Cheo as their forces collide and fling everywhere upon contact. Cheo getting the advantage as not only did he strike at her flank but our soldiers surround them from all side. Ha-Yeon's twin swords collide with Cheo's long whistling spear, and this might even be the first time I saw Cheo in close combat as well...
While Ha-Yeon sword moves resemble a flurry of whirlpools, Cheo's spear technique is similar to a crashing waves that drown her vortex away. Simply put, Ha-Yeon is being pushed back and barely managing against Cheo's barrages and unmatched blows that seem to eat away at the air around him as dark spots appear where his spear cuts or pierce through which surprises even myself.
(If he is this fast in game, how powerful is he in real life!? Can I even block that in real life? The prince is right with him probably being stronger than the Colonel... If this is outside Rucina wonder what Central will be filled with?)
"Woa hoho! You really are strong! Your reports didn't do you justice. I guess that make you the second- no the strongest since the Slayer of Kings is dead."
"You ain't half bad yourself. I rarely see anybody being able to hold so long. Especially someone so young."
"You talk like an old man, I'll call you ajusshi then!"
"Like hell you can! I'm not THAT old! (Yet)"
*Clang*
In a fit of rage, Cheo's send a strike that disarmed He-Yeon's left sword as she pulls back replying:
"Waah! So much for holding on when you are wiping the floor with me. I thought this calvary is the best- woah!"
Just as Ha-Yeon say that, Cheo who micro manage each of his soldiers easily trample over her troops by striking at the gaps on her folds while he blows one of Ha-Yeon's sword away.
"The best sure, but they are shock calvary not meant for prolong melee. The moment you got stuck is your doom."
Hearing that ultimatum Ha-Yeon simply smile saying:
"Really? I thought calvary are just differrenciate by their terrain, ancient owlian army sure is interesting. But, I did enough damage to you so... I think they yell, kawabunga!"
(Huh?)
"Oh shit!"
Jumping from her ride, Cheo tries to kill her and succeed with cleaving her in half but Ha-Yeon still manage to latch on to Cheo and,
*BOOM*
*************************************
"And just like that, all 4 contestant is ooouuuut!"
"Ah, so sad! Those Titans are simply extreme!"
Hearing the voices of the anchors, I realize I have return or forcefully pulled back to reality. Seeing a mix of gold and blue upon the sky, it seems hours has pass as the early dawn has grace its natural beauty. And early dawn winter is simply one thing I wish to see.
"Damn that's unfair! Who would actually turn their strongest unit into a suicide bomber!? But if that's true then Moriz might have a chance since they definitely spend a fortune for that unit!"
Seeing Daniel and Cheo remove their device, I woke up from the virtual world and the thoughts that came to is,
"So that's how it feels to die there."
"What an eerie thing to say, big bro."
"Agreed, I'm glad you're safe."
"Juha?!?-"
"Titans!" "Titans!" "Titans!" "Titans!"
"Titans!" "Titans!" "Titans!" "Titans!"
"Titans!" "Titans!" "Titans!" "Titans!"
"Titans!" "Titans!" "Titans!" "Titans!"
My surprise seems to be drown by the staggering cheers that yell out to our opposing team as I see Ha-Yeon remove her gear and wave at us then the audience. Waiting for the voice to lower a bit I look at her asking,
"Juha, why are you here?"
"Simple, to follow my promise."
"What about Jin-Ae Ssi?"
Juha looks at Ae who is now hugging Cheo's head with a bright smile but Cheo seem to be the opposite, the panic and despair is clear even behind his mask whispering:
"(Haah... Should i just remove my mask?)"
Seeing Cheo look at the VIP seat, the guests there looks at him with a smile and excitement while Daniel looks back at the battle. Moriz is noe alone commanding the entire remaining army, leading the charge at the front he somehow push forward.
(I surprisingly gain a lot of experience here... Especially Cheo's spear technique, I need to learn more about that).
As Moriz now enter the outer part of the city and his soldiers start pouring in. I see the entire field outside the city has become a grave of swords and shields as bodies litter the once prosper field to a bloodbath.
"Urp..."
(Now I feel the scene? Did the machine do something?)
"Not a fan of that huh? Let's go find a place to sit."
Cheo closes his shaking hand firmly that I could hear the tightening voice.
"Hmph!"
"Oh, thanks."
Juha helps lend a helping hand as she helps me up when,
"I'm sorry! We probably lost because of me!"
Daniel bow his head but Cheo simply pats him replying:
"Nah, kid, you did enough. Besides, it's just a game no need to take it so seriously. As for me..."
Cheo look a the VIP's and pats his back to urge him forward as he lead us further back where they prepare a seat for us. Walking back, Daniel seems down but I pat him on the back too saying:
"Cheer up, Daniel. We're here to have fun right?"
He looks at me and nod replying:
"Sure..."
"Hey, why not we do something after this? I know a good place with good sweets. And who knows we might just win, just trust in Moriz. He may not be trustworthy but he is... Reliable."
"You don't trust Moriz huh, big bro?"
"Yea- NO."
"That's sad, Moriz bro is pretty handy and nice. Trust him more, he save me after all. Then again, he did say girls instinctively hate him for some reason."
"What are you implying there-"
"Wo-wo-wo- what's this!? Are you seeing that! I'm not blind right!?"
"Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!" "Legends!"
Hearing the commotion around us, I turn around and see the unfolding events. Moriz who is still alone manage to take control of the walls. And not only that, he has driven the enemy back and create a foothold with him leading the charge fighting at the forefront one step at a time as he easily sweep the narrow roads with his fists.
(Woah, so Moriz is a pugilist? But seeing him on the a form of a woman much taller than the soldiers beside him and mowing down soldiers infront of him is surreal).
"Awesome! Moriz Big bro is strong!"
"It seems the world is bigger than it seems."
Daniel and Juha comment separately as they speak different language. We all take a seat as I share mine with Juha and Ae is still stuck with Cheo Focusing on the scene, Moriz is soon stopped by Eun-Yong and the guy with the funny mask. The camera and scene across the stadium and field zoom in closer to them as I heard them speak.
"This is as far you go!"
"Hey, Yoyo, you sure we can beat her? All my hair is standing up yet I'm actually excited-"
"Shut it with your fantasies, within this game our stats is limited. There is only so much this machine can portray so just do what we practice!"
"Whatever! I get paid for playing video games so free meal! Charge!"
The two send their soldiers in while Moriz leads the charge and slams across his foes. Seeing Moriz fight like a beast by picking up soldiers and throwing them or using them as weapons, he roars out which stun the enemies and let his soldiers ride the gambit to his whim when,
"Aargh! To the flanks!"
From the tall building that acted as walls, arrows started raining down and from Moriz's back a giant hand slowly creeps from the side. The giant who's been silent appear where his head could easily reach the roofs. Moriz after gaining his momentum has been turned over his head as he is now surrounded. His soldiers knowing their fates frantically tried to fight back but they are simply unable to move much being crunch between the huge walls.
"Well, raise your shield and charge forward men! Don't falter!"
Moriz yells out as he rush to the front mowing down soldiers and tried to take on both Eun-Yong and the funny mask man. Eun-Yong seeing Moriz come closer shouts,
"Oh fuck no!"
He pulls out his twin daggers and start to run to the walls while the other guy wielding a nodachi bigger than him slowly pulls it out from his back and takes a stance as they seem to wait for Moriz to come closer.
Moriz as if he knows what they wanted to do grabs one of the dead soldier's sword and shield before raising them as he gets closer and,
*Shiing* *clang*
The man with funny mask swing his sword as he cut through multiple soldiers easily but is simply stop by Moriz who halted his blade with both sword and shield and,
*Bash*
Eun-Yong who tried to sneak attack from behind has his face bash by Moriz swinging his shield back and he retreats before Moriz could cut him down. The masked man strikes again but Moriz uses a weird technique that redirect his Nodachi up to his elbow before he counters back by pushing his nodachi aside with his shoulders and slice down with a clean swipe but he pulls his Nodachi close and barely stops his swing as his sword is digging to his neck.
"Argh! Yoyo! Do something! I'm gonna get killed by this giant lady!"
"Stop complaining, I'm doing my best!"
"Well, your best certainly isn't enough!"
"You should swing your sword more than complaining before I stab you instead!"
Eun-Yong seeing his comrade in danger manage to jump on Moriz. And the soldiers back away and make a small space where Moriz easily block his small daggers with his shield. As if Moriz is pushing the shield as to block, Eun-Yong's dagger seem to dig in his shield as Moriz then pulls his shield down alongside him and pull his sword back and reverse swing towards Eun-Yong who dodges by a hair's breathe by bending his back and kneeling down where the sword almost cut the tip of his nose. Seeing this chance the masked man tried to strike again but Moriz with his longer leg kick his stomach which he block before he lets go of the sword and grabs another to strike at him again digging deeper at the same spot.
Taking turns pushing back each enemy, he uses the soldier's fallen weapon against his foes one at a time as he slowly push his blade closer and closer to their necks as I see panic and fear show on both their faces. Moriz have turned the table and the audience's cheer grows louder with each strike he make while music seems to change to a fast beat where it rises the tension as Moriz easily take on both of them.
(How can Moriz move so easily with such a different body and in such a restricted place, then again I did adapt pretty quickly with mine. Among all, I really need both Moriz and Cheo to tutor me with their techniques).
Wondering what the giant's doing while Moriz is slowly breaking from the front, I saw him raising his glaive high and,
*Clang* *bzzz*
The entire field blackens out while static takes over every screen and I hear,
"H-Huh!? W-What's this!? It has been one turn after another that I can't peel my eyes away! I am simply stunned by that giant lady's martial prowess. No all the three of them fight like Martial Masters-"
"Move aside, Wei! This is the first time this actually happen in public! You see all the audience out there, the technology built by this game can only insert so much pressure from the real person before it breaks! Simply speaking that giant is displaying powers no Owlian can produce even when the machine has made him 10 times weaker to owlian physical limits! Could the myths be true! The World Strongest would be delighted if he sees this!"
(10 times!? So Moriz and Cheo is still that fast when they're 10 times weaker!? Am I really that weak and pathetic? I really need to step up my game).
"Wait, if the machine is really broken shouldn't the players be ejected? could it be..."
*Bzzz*
As the announcer says that the field colour returns while the screen display back the war torn city. The giant who caused that blacken out appears to have his glaive half buried in the middle of the building where he has manage to cut through half of the entire neighborhood. Most interestingly the piles of bodies, weapons and blood that clustered the entire city's floor have seemingly vanished.
"Weird-"
"Weird my ass you stupid dad! Did you forget what I just fucking said!?"
Eun-Yong yells out while the three of them stop to look back at him.
(Dad!? That's Eun-Yong's father!? Wait, maybe he is just roleplaying? Sound very convincing).
"Sorry son, it's just old habits die hard. And being so weakend just feels so weird. No it kinda feels tiny-"
"Dammit, that's why I told you not to fight! You'll break this damn game! And look! You glitched the entire armies out now we definitely have no chance of winning!"
"I can't just stand aside when my child is getting hurt! Even if it's not real."
"S-Shut up! Don't say something that embarrassing."
Ignoring the magical events, I realize the moment I shouted that in my mind I had unconsciously stand up. And looking to my side, I notice Ha-Yeon has somehow sneak beside me and taken a seat saying:
"Sup, Silencer."
"Ha-Yeon! Seriously, how and why are you here?"
"!!?!?"
Ha-Yeon's sudden appearance seems to trigger Juha to pull her baton at her. Ha-Yeon block it easily by raising the handle of one of her twin swords and sighs, shaking her head replying:
"Careful there twin tails, and duh~ I fly here! And I'm surprised you recognize me behind this mask. Still, did ya forget what I said in game? I got orders to give to ya."
"Huh?"
"It's directly from The Empress."
"From Sis!?"
"Stop, Sova! Don't listen to her!"
Juha tries to stop me but,
"Sorry, Juha but I have to listen. Especially if it's from Sis Yuwei."
"Sova..."
"You really call her Sis huh? Can't really imagine the Empress having someone that close."
"Why? I'm sure everyone has a family, and don't Sis Yuwei have Sis Fei."
"Oh yeah, she has a little sister. Kinda forgot about that since she never helps... So, Wanna hear-"
"Of course! I have so many questions I wanna ask!"
Maybe after noticing the increase of my voice, Daniel turn asking:
"Huh? Big bro, what are you- wait! Aren't you from the opposing team!?"
Daniel looks at us asking in Owlian and Ha-Yeon simply reply in the same language saying:
"Hey there little boy, don't mind us."
"Hey, what'a wrong Daniel- you! What are you doing here you skank!"
"Oh! Pretty lady!"
Cheo's expression quickly change seeing Ha-Yeon as she laughs at his reaction before saying:
"Hoho~ that's a pretty cute little sister. But keep talking like that and you definitely won't hit it with the ladies. At least shave a little."
"She's right, Oppa. Your thin beard is kinda annoying."
"Don't hear what she says, Ae! What do you want here?"
"Oh, I just got something to say with... Her? Him? Anyways! I'm taking Sova with me."
Ha-Yeon grabs my hand and tries to walk away but,
"No! Big bro stays with us!"
"She stays with us."
Daniel and Juha who may not speak the same language but they reach the same conclusion as both of them grab my other hand and try to hold me down but after going back to reality, I can't help but feel how light both their grip is compared to Ha-Yeon.
"Heh that's cute. But it'll be just a small talk... You know what, hey wanna join us for some breakfast after this? We could talk as we fill our bellies. You can invite some friends if you want."
Ha-Yeon also speak in Owlian as she tries to persuade Daniel but...
"Um, isn't that a bad idea?"
(Considering she is probably telling something big or secretive. Or maybe Sis Yuwei just wanna say something lighthearted? If so).
I try to persuade her but Ha-Yeon simply brush it off replying:
"Nah, it'll be fine! We'll be visiting you again after this battle is over."
"O-Okay?"
"Alright, see you then! Nice meeting you three as well! GG is what they say no?"
Ha-Yeon let's me go before jump and floats away as she really did fly here it seems.
"Who is-"
"Dammit!"
"Hiyyah!"
Juha's question was cut short when the tension seem to rise. Moriz after extensively blocking both Eun-Yong and the masked man flurry of attacks ended one of them by digging Eun-Yong's dagger to his shield again but this time kicking his shield and pushing him faraway, the masked man seeing the opening tried to attack but Moriz with his long leg manage to dodge and knee his arm from below making him lose one grip. Moriz finally pulls out his personal weapon, a thick bastard blade and swing down at the smaller masked man with all his weight.
"Aaargh! Yoyo! I'm gonna- uergh!"
*Cleave*
As he manage to stop Moriz by blocking with the help of his arm guard, Moriz simply punch down the blade forcing him to kneel while the blade breaks his nodachi and digs halfway through the chest before finishing the job by stomping the blade down again to forcefully cleave his body in twine diagonally.
Seeing the masked man disappear and come out of the game, I focus my hearing as he remove his gear saying:
"Haaah, now I wish I could have a strong tall muscle lady to carry me around."
The ridiculousness just got amplified when he said that with that mask and I decide to ignore him entirety, I look back at the scene at the showdown between Eun-Yong and Moriz. Eun-Yong desperate in his attempt pulls out a third blade from his right feet and starts with throwing a sand. Moriz simply cover his eyes with his sword which Eun-Yong use this opportunity to strike at his stomach but he simply block by lowering his weapon and kick it to push Eun-Yong back, Eun-Yong doesn't stop and twist his body within the moment and tries to cut Moriz with the dagger on his feet but Moriz does something that triggers bad memories within me.
Opening his mouth, he bit down the dagger stopping it while it digs deep to his cheek before he grabs Eun-Yong's leg and started swinging him around between the walls and ground like a ragdoll. As he smashes Eun-Yong, he tried to resist by throwing the dagger in his hand but Moriz simply spits the dagger out to deflect and use Eun-Yong's body to block. Playing with him for half a minute before ending it with a downward smash and a mighty stomp-
*Clang* *bzzz*
"Again!?"
"And did you see how she bites that dagger down!? How strong is her jaws to stop a swinging blade!?"
Hearing the Anchors comment again, I see Eun-Yong return as be remove his gear and being greeted by both Ha-Yeon and the masked man who made fun of him as he then yells the same to them before looking back at the blackened field.
*Bzzz*
When the colour return, I see the giant has caused the entire city to vanish and left nothing but an endless white void that stretches far beyond the horizon. The giant has taken a downward swing towards Moriz who easily blocked it by raising his bastard sword. Seeing Moriz who is around a tenth of the giant block his attack is simply hard to believe but there they are.
(I can only imagine how strong those two might be in real life).
"Hoh? You actually manage to block it? Pretty impressive for someone so young."
"Don't be so impressed, you old relic. If Rucina himself can't kill me in one blow, what makes you think you can?"
"Now I really need to test my mettle against you in real life!"
The old man pulls his glaive back and Moriz does the same with his sword and before their blades could collide,
*Bzzzz* *pitch* *shatter* *pop* *pop* *pop* *pop* *pop* *shatter*
(Wait, did he just say Rucina? As in the Sovereign?)
"Aaah!", "What happened!?", "Hey, where did the lights go!?", "Everyone please remain calm.", "Hey watch where you touching!", "Ow, you're stepping on my foot.", "Help! I'm stuck!", "Quick pull out your light!", "Ah, I got food spill over me.", "Hey, who won!?", "I want a fucking refund!", "Spread out quick! This is an emergency!"
The entire field blackens out, no the entire stadium darkens as the entire light source from the bulbs and the one's in the floor shatter and exploded causing the entire stadium to panic and plunge into a pit of darkness with a small ambience of gold coming from where the sun seem to rise.
A blackout seems to occur as the anchors voice doesn't seem to reach and chaos erupt among the gallery. With my new eyes I easily adjusted and starting to see and injecting qi to my eyes, everything is as bright as day in the dark when I see Moriz remove his gear saying:
"Well, that ended unsatisfyingly."
Feeling someone holding me close, I see Daniel hugging me tight as he stays close saying:
"This is you right, Big bro?"
I pat his head replying:
"Yea."
"Hey, let's use this chance to return and wait for the people to fix the lights."
Cheo approaches me as he manage to pull Ae away from his head but worried for the audience I ask,
"Alright, but will the people watching be fine?"
"I'm sure they will, sun's about to go up and the securities are doing their job."
"My idiot brother is right, leave it to the staffs so we don't disturb their protocols."
"Oh, okay then. Let's-"
"Hey man, don't leave without me. By the way, can't say you did great work but it was fun. Come let's return to our break room."
Moriz puts his arm on my and Cheo's shoulder as he push us forward when someone interrupts.
"Stop, I need to speak to Sova."
Still in his mask Eun-Yong blocks our way speaking in Hwansea. Ha-Yeon and the masked man appear behind us accompanies by the massive titan whose steps can easily be heard.
"Just saying here, we're not gonna waste time, having impromptu dinner. Especially not with traps like you, your kind sickens me!"
(Oh! Will Juha believe... Wait? Or... Ah stop thinking about that, nobody will believe it).
Looking at Juha who raises her guards once again pulls her baton and placing her other hand on her sword, the masked man rubs his belly shouting:
"Aw~! I'm starting to get hungry!"
Changing Juha's focus to him, he seem to lower the tension by saying:
"I thought we could have some regional specialty. I heard one of the 8 star baker or whatever is here."
Eun-Yong looks at the masked man before glaring at Ha-Yeon who averts her eyes whistling. He folds his arms and tries to look down on us and continue saying:
"I'm just going to say this straight, WE..."
Eun-Yong gesture the four of them by moving his thumb,
"Are going to stay down here while you..!"
He then moves forward and poke me saying,
"Will head north and lead the final push against Ri and the remaining 2 kingdoms. The Empress direct orders, you can't refuse and that bitch even took some consideration and pulled some strings so you will be heading there anyway, so pack up your things and be prepared. Your peaceful break is over."
"Sova, don't go-"
Eun-Yong disappear as Juha tries to warn me but knowing his intentions, I quickly turn around grabbing his arm before he could unsheathe his dagger as he appear.
"!?!?"
"Woah, So that's a Silencer huh?"
"Hoho? Maybe the game made a mistake."
"Oh? Son, you're falling behind among your peers."
The other three looks at me with amazement as I surprise even Eun-Yong as well. I grasp his arm saying:
"Wait."
Surprised by my sudden reaction, Eun-Yong turn his head around with a grunt asking:
"W-What?"
"Sis Yuwei will meet me right?"
Eun-Yong trues to pull his hand to no avail and quickly replying:
"That's for you to find out."
I release him as he vanish and appear beside his group.
"Tch, just you wait, I'll grow much much stronger."
The other follow along and Ha-Yeon says,
"No need to be so serious I mean who's idea was it to even join this tournament anyways, you simp lord?"
"Don't say that! I'll bury you seriously this time."
"Oh, come on Son. No need to be so bitter and distant, it wasn't long when you are so happy to see her."
"Dammit, dad stop embarrassing me all the time! Can't you see I'm trying to be serious?"
The three of then jump on the giant's shoulder. With his long messy unkept hair, it's a bit hard to see his face but I can tell the giant is looking at me with interest before,
*Boom*
Jumping out of the stadium with a giant explosion which cause more panic.
"I really can't take that guy seriously."
(Me neither but...)
"What was that anyways? Is he bitter he lose, Big Bro?"
"No, I don't think so."
"That is one huge person, Oppa! Can you grow that big!?"
Cheo, Ae and Daniel comments as they look back at where they jump off too and Moriz simply push us again smiling and saying:
"Well, just in advance but I'll be following you up north, Sova."
"Huh? Hold up!"
"I follow what she says, I'll accompany you there too."
Juha comments as she sheathe her baton and walk beside me.
(Seriously, what's happening!?)
