Chapter 70 - Do You Want To Bet On This?

"Karina and Kaito, you guys go fight some more monsters to get points. I'll follow this person..." Rem said, chasing after the green-haired boy.

"Got it!" Karina replied.

Karina and Kaito worked together to fight more monsters. After a few minutes of chasing, Rem finally caught the boy.

"Who are you?" Rem asked, using her killing intent.

The boy trembled due to Rem's killing intent and refused to say anything.

'002, locate Yukino and Yukio's locations. The ones on the map are wrong'. Rem stated.

{I can't.}

'Alright. Hm... Now, where is the person who's creating all these fake humans?' Rem looked around her surroundings.

'Trees, trees, and more trees... Wait, there!' Rem let the boy go and used her martial arts to quickly appear in from of the person who created the fake humans.

"I finally caught you. You're the person from team Viper, aren't you? Where did you hide the twins???" Rem asked.

'I already know that the twins aren't here in this dimension anymore... The reason why the map shows Yukino and Yukio's location is because that was where they were before they were teleported back to the real world.'

"W-Why should I tell you?" The boy asked.

'I swear... If I find the twins are hurt... He will regret it tenfold!' Rem thought angrily.

Rem's killing intent made the boy trembled in fear.

"Fine then. Tell me why you are capturing the twins..." Rem said coldly.

"Ha... Well... We were ordered... To ambush your team..." The boy replied in a scared tone.

"Who ordered you?"

"One of the Dark Knights members... Please, spare me!" The boy begged.

"If I find out that the twins are hurt in any way... You. Are. Dead." Rem whispered the last part.

"Y-Yes, I'll be more careful..."

Rem got rid of her killing intent and the boy retreated immediately.

'It has only been one hour in the tournament and the twins are out... I guess I can't hide my powers anymore... I just hope the twins are okay... Should I just fight all the bosses myself? No, I shouldn't show too much of my powers...' Rem thought, going back to defeating monsters.

...

All the teams were teleported back to the real world. Rem looked at the leaderboard.

'Second... Are the twins okay..?' Rem wondered.

Rem walked to one of the teachers.

"Excuse me, do you know where Yukino and Yukio are? They're the twins who participated in the tournament." Rem said.

"The twins are in the infirmary." The teacher replied.

"I see, thank you." Rem rushed to the infirmary.

When Rem arrived at the infirmary, she saw many other participants hurt.

'Just what happened..?' Rem thought, looking at the twins, unconscious on the bed.

"What happened to them?" Rem asked the nurse.

"Ha? How would I know?" The nurse asked back rudely.

"I asked... What happened to them??!" Rem unintentionally released her killing intent.

The nurse dropped down to her knees and trembled.

"T-They were injured..." The nurse said.

"Yes, I know. I can see! I meant what injuries did they have?"

"They were probably hurt from fighting... There are cut marks all over their arms, back, and legs... They also seem to be poisoned..." The nurse tried to get up but the pressure was too strong.

"How dare he..." Rem muttered in anger.

Rem walked out of the infirmary.

'002, locate where that green-haired boy is. Right now!'

{Yes, of course.}

002 showed Rem wheee the boy was on the map. Rem left the school, put on her disguise to look like a boy in a dark ally way.

"Hello there!" A familiar voice said cheerfully.

"What is it Nor? I don't have all day." Rem said.

"Aw man, don't be so rude! I'm just trying to help you... Do you want me to kill that boy for you?" Nor asked.

"No, don't kill him." Rem replied.

"Eh? Why not?" Nor asked in confusion.

"Why are you asking me this..?" Rem changed the subject.

"I want to help you. You don't have to get your hands dirty. I can torture him instead of killing him. In exchange, I want you to make a bet with me. If I win, you have to do anything I say If you win, I'll do anything you say plus I'll help you torture that boy. I already know how the boy looks like so you don't have to worry about anything. What do you say? Deal?"

"What's the bet about?"

"It will be about the future. Choose either you think this city will perish or succeed."

'Why is he so random..?' Rem wondered.

"I choose neither. This city isn't going to succeed nor perish" Rem said.

"Hm... Alright then. I guess that's fine. I'll choose that the city will perish... Goodbye, I have to go torture that boy now..." Nor said smiling as he waved then vanished in the shadows.

'Why did he ask that..?' Rem wondered.

Rem rushed back to the school infirmary.

'I need to get rid of this poison somehow... Maybe I can get the antidote from the person who attacked the twins..! Wait... Are my healing powers enough to get rid of all the poison?' Rem wondered.
