Chapter 32: Training (2)
"Let's bet!"
5 black gowned commanders including fork bet.
"I bet for Threat."
"Me too."
"I bet for Slaughterer"
This time fork bet for someone. And a newbie!
"Are you serious?"
"Why?
"It's just my guts is telling me. He doesn't want to tell you about his students or so." Fork replied.
"I bet for Dou."
"I bet for Void."
Then they put things on stake.
Votes:
Threat: 2
Slaughterer: 1
Dou: 1
Void: 1
Then hundred of different glittering stones was placed on the table.
"Our bet is top 5."
"Agree."
"...."
And the rest nodded.
As long as they can top to top 5 they can win this out. It would be great if the better win while the other betting team is eliminated.
"If your betting team lose then your stone will be the pot."
"Agreed."
"....."
And the rest nodded.
"Then let's not wait anymore. Let us play the game!"
He controlled the screen interface.
(Trial Ready.....Mazes Ready..... Forest Swamps.....Deserts....Sea Bay ready....)
The mechanical voice echoed.
"Please Launch the trial."
(Launching....)
The mechanical voice echoed.
....
"Ugh....where are we? A white gown Assassin asked."
Then suddenly...
"Hello everyone."
...
On the other side where sandy beaches can be seen.
"Hello Everyone."
The female like mechanical voice rang.
...
Then it was the same as the other two places. And then a female mechanical voice rang.
...
"Hello Everyone."
"I'm the administrator in this trial. The rules will be shown in your watches. Please keep your watches."
Then the voice blackout.
All of the white gown Assassins look at their watches.
"The game is about to begin! Please group into 5 members. Each and everyone must cooperate. If you don't find a companion in time. You will be sent out. There are no rules forbidding you to kill. Your goal is to find the hidden item. Once you get it, keep it. Trust no one, even it is your friend, team, or close friend. The commanders will grade you depends on your actions, motives, attitude, and so on."
"ost easiest trial in the beginning. But it will affect you. Better if you find a good team sooner or else you will be left out"
"Time left: 20 minutes until the elimination."
"Beep...."
Information: Dou -
In trial: Not rated
Health Level: Full
Items: None
Dou tested out the affinity but no to avail.
"Affinity is disabled."
...
It was the same with the other Assassins.
'I still have 20 minutes to find them. This is survival for the fittest!' Slaughterer thought in the middle of Swamp Forest.
"This is a good place for hunting.
.....
"Finding a team!"
"...."
"We still need 2 members."
"....."
"Need a team of 5!"
"..."
Each and everyone shouted, run, or yelling too much so that they could find some Assassins nearby.
They want to pass this trial! It is important to take this out.
....
In the place where beaches reside...
"So everyone scattered?"
"Yes, I guess so."
Two Assassins are talking after finding each other. S, till they had a lot of time reaming to find the other three.
"I'm Void. What's your name?" Dou asked.
He got short hair. He seems like Asian in the modern days.
Tanned skin and tall for a 7 or something-year-old. Red hair with complimenting red eyes. He also got some looks as a kid. But that didn't work on her.
"Jade." She looked at him with a fierce look.
"Eh? What's wrong with that face?" He asked.
'This Void is something like a joker or something? Or bubbler mouth?' She thought.
She remembered someone.
'Gner.'
The only person who made her this I'll be a spirited one.
"I can't believe he would be this strong after the awakening! I can't measure him. It is better to ask him but I got nothing from him when I asked him!" She muttered.
"What are you mumbling?"
"Ah? Eh no? Don't mind my business! We're not friends."
"Okay. If you want I'm in!"
"...."
She felt contradicted.
'This blubber mouth trash!' She yelled in her thought.
Unbeknownst to her, Void is going to become a top Assassin in the future! The one who surpassed in killing in the assassination. He kills without mercy. He's just like Slaughterer.
"Mercy Killing." His most proud reminder to everyone!
...
On the other side where sands reside...
"Do you want to be on our team?"
She nodded.
She did not talk but they considered that as a yes.
There were already on the team.
5 members. 4 males and 1 female.
Of course, these four were from different teams before they got here.
They were scattered.
The female one is Purple. A gal with no expression or so.
Among them was a Threat!
The threat is still unknown. He doesn't even belong to the top Assassin in the future. Maybe he's in that un-named assassins?
Unnamed Assassins are Assassins who killed many but not in fame because they don't want to reveal their names on the Hall of Assassins.
Rank 10th = "....." This symbol is unnamed.
But if it was like Rank 10th = "Slaughterer" This meant that your name is registered in the Hall of Assassins.
...
So how it was counted? The kills an so on. In assassination, you got a mission. And every time you successfully finished your mission then everyone you killed will be listed as 'listed or unlisted people.' It depends who and how many people that need to be killed in that mission. There were also times that innocent people will die during the mission. And it was counted as long as the mission is finished.
...
In the place where Forest Swamps resides
Dou is a team with Slaughterer.
.....
There were hundreds of participants in this trial. Most of them was a white gown Assassin. Of course, they're all newbies. But some of them ages 7-10 years old.
"The Shadow Corps"
These white gown assassin also belong to this Corps. Even though they're just a white rank.
....
These are the rankings. It was mentioned in chapter 3.
The assassins are divided into 4 rankings:
Shadow
Rogue
Commander
General
And each official was divided into different levels.
White
Blue
Purple
Black
Red
Fatigue
...
Current places
Sea Bay: Void and Jade
Desert: Threat and Purple
Forest Swamps: Dou and Slaughterer
....
In the control room.
5 black commanders saw the arrangement. This is not their fault to pair them up. It was just a random switch between teams you knew since you entered.
"This seems like our fighters are fated to team up?"
The commander was excited to see this kid.
.....
Slaughterer was listening to his leader.
They voted this out because she seems like a good leader, Dou.
Dou was a pink-haired gal. She got a cute and serious vibe and face. A leader would look like to be this honest.
She's also unknown like Threat.
"Please introduce yourselves so we can know each other first."
"By the way, I'm Dou, your team leader." She started to speak first.
"Oscar"
"Jubiss"
"Monik"
"Slaughterer"
When they heard his name. They got a curious look but she doesn't want this team to messed.
"Since you introduce yourselves. Then we can only plan this out. According to our location, were seems to be in a forest? And there are many swamps nearby. Maybe it was a Forest Swamps." She said thoughtlessly.
'She deducted this fast!'
The other 3 members were this shock and can be seen on their faces. But the only Slaughterer did not find it interesting.
'You seems like in the past, Dou. You still have that look even you're in that position. This time I will pay you my debts.'
....
In the Control Room...
"3 males: Oscar, Jubiss and Slaughterer
2 females: Monik and Dou"
"Their team constitutes with 3 males and 2 females. A good team."
"Yes... It is indeed a good team but I'm interested with your fighter named Slaughterer. I heard from your students that he scared someone?" The commander asked Fork.
"It's just a fluke." Fork doesn't want to get cocky. He's extremely calmed. He doesn't want to get some shams. He trusts his boss, Clavio.
"Oh? Then we'll be looking forward to this one. I hope we got a good show."
"I hope so."
To be continued…..
