Chereads / Black tears / Chapter 11 - chapter 10

Chapter 11 - chapter 10

Izanami watched as Zeke carried Kyo out of the hall. 'I'll crush them' was all she could think of. Her opponent walked up the stage and immediately the crowd boomed. Tch. Izanami clicked her teeth. She always hated people who don't play by the rules but what really pissed her off was the fact that fools were still cheering after them even after they cheated in plain sight.

What a sorry world-

Izanami took her time and walked up the stage step by step. When she reached the top she was face to face with the captain of Team White. He was a tall one, not to mention big in size too, he wore a huge trench coat. He did look a little intimidating but not to Izanami. She'd seen worse, but she couldn't underestimate him, his ena level can match up to Zeke's.

"Let's get this started shall we?" He whipped out his ENARM, it was a huge shamshir and took a fighting stance.

Izanami didn't summon her ENARM nor did she take out another weapon, she just took a fighting stance.

"You sure you're not going to need your ENARM??" Her opponent looked a little disinterested.

"Hey she's totally looking down on him!"

"Yeah! Just cause she's from Team Black!"

"Teach her a lesson with your poison blade, Goro!"

The audience started to throw out comments but the last one caught her attention. She examined Goro's blade but before she knew it Goro came running towards her. She narrowly dodged the blade by moving to the right but Goro was faster than she taught and already aimed a kick on her stomach. Izanami stumbled backwards and anticipated Goro's next move. Once Goro came running at her again, she teleported right before the blade touched her skin. She reappeared behind Goro and gave him a nice kick to his head causing him to stagger a little, but she didn't give anymore chances. She teleported to his left than his right then his front then his back, each time giving him either a good punch or a kick. However, after a while, Goro started to pick up on her patterns and speed and started to dodge her attacks.

'This is bad, I can't land a single decent punch on her!'.

It only after a few good minutes of being Izanami's punching bag that Goro finally manged to land a good punch on her chest making Izanami stop her streak. Goro took this chance and attempted to slash Izanami across her chest but Izanami managed to almost dodge the blow, but it still caught her arm.

"YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" The crowd cheered louder than before and Goro smiled devilishly.

"How's that! That poison kicks in quickly, soon you won't even be able to stand, I suggest to give up just like your friend did!"

'Heh....heh....heh..' Izanami giggled to herself. Goro looked at her puzzled and the crowd went silent.

Izanami summoned a portal and a load of injections spilled out. "Sorry but I've found your little secret." Izanami had a even more scary look than Goro did. "Gotta say, It's a good tactic but cheating isn't the right way to go." Izanami took one injection and dangled it in front of Goro.

The crowd was silent. Goro had cold sweat dripping down his face.

Goro knew he had no other choice, he gave it his all and charged at Izanami one last time. However, Izanami was faster than him, before he knew it, Izanami had her hand on his head and she smashed it down with all her strength.

The crowd was still silent. Izanami slowly stood back up. She turned to the crowd.

"News flash! He's famous 'poison blade' was a SCAM, it's nothing but a normal ENARM with tons of poison injected to it." Izanami was smirking.

"H-how did you know?" Goro could barely speak.

"You know when you slashed at me first? Yeah, something was dripping from your blade and it fell on the floor right there." Izanami pointed at the ground next to where Goro was kneeling on. Goro looked over to find a small piece of the ground blackened.

"Now..." Izanami swung the injection on her index finger. "...shall we let you have a taste of your own medicine?" Izanami was past satanic at this point.

'Crush him'

'Destroy him'

'He deserves this'

were all that were ringing in her mind.

"N-NONONONO STOP I GIVE UP I GIVE UP!!" None of those words reached Izanami.

Izanami lowered herself to his level and stuck the injection near his chest.

"STOP IZANAMI!" A voice awoke her from her madness and she stopped the injection just one second away from piercing Goro.

She turned towards the sound of the voice that called to her and saw Zeke, standing at the entrance, out of breath and Phina soon followed after him.

She screwed up, she never wanted her friends to see this disgusting side of her.

Izanami started panting heavily and dropped the injection on the ground, she took a few steps back, her legs soon lost strength in them and she fell to the ground.

While caught in her vicious thoughts, Izanami suddenly felt a sudden warmth on her shoulder. She turned abruptly.

"Iza-chan you..." Izanami looked away, expecting the usual harsh remark she'd always get. "....WERE SUPER COOL!!" Izanami's eyes widened. Shocked, she turned to look at Phina's sweetest and sincerest smile.

She looked past Phina, to Zeke, to the crowd, no one was saying anything. No one looked looked at her with utter disgust and fear. Her gaze landed on Zeke.

"Good job, I'm glad I trusted you."

Just then she felt something warm rise in her body.

Zeke helped her up, as they stood on the stage, the hall was buzzing with quiet whispers of confusion.

'clap''clap''clap'. Clapping noises were heard from the speakers. "And that's the end of the mini competition, good fighting everyone. Anyone who still has problems with Team Black may come to me directly, but I'm pretty sure they have proven themselves today."
