Chapter 42 - The Third Rule

Me - "This time the third one, you may think it's totally impossible is unfeasible, but I can give you irrefutable proof that it's going to be announced in their second announcements."

Well, in theory I can't be 100% sure that they're going to announce it, but a lot of elements fit together so I think it's quite possible.

Me - "So this time, the third one, is going to have something to do with that chip. Earlier I talked about these transformations that would happen when someone has two of them. Well I think everyone will have more or less that and unlock some kind of 'power' or their body will have an extra feature when the war starts."

Kosho - "Wait a second. I've been listening to you carefully without saying a word, but now you're talking nonsense bigger than yourself. How can it be possible that some people have 'powers', as you say."

Me - "Thank you very much Kosho for your intervention. I was hoping someone would do it. So as I told you thirty seconds earlier. This time I have irrefutable proof that powers are going to be put in place."

Kosho - "Go ahead explain your smoking gun, we're all looking forward to it."

Me - "No problem, I'll just need someone to help me."

Kosho - "Fine, I'll do it."

Me - "Okay fine, come to me and take out a knife."

Kana - "A knife? But what for? "

Me - "You'll see, but it might take a little time.

Kosho - "Well, now what do I do with this knife, stab you ? "

Me - "Exactly, stick it in my arm."

Kosho - "Okay, that... What? You really want me to stab you? I was just kidding."

Me - "I'm very serious, stab me in the arm."

Kosho - "Well, if you ask me."

Flash

All of a sudden, an unbearable pain went through my arm.

And with that pain, a trail of blood.

In the twenty people present, less than a dozen were still looking at my wound.

And strangely enough, only one seemed to find it amusing.

Only Shanlen had a big smile on his face when he saw this scene.

I can't tell if it was my audacity in doing this that amazed him so much or the simple fact of seeing blood, but one thing is sure, this guy is clearly not normal.

Me - "Eheh, excuse me, I should have warned you that it wasn't going to be a pretty sight."

Lysis - "Hell yeah, it's downright disgusting. Seriously look at you, you have a hole in your arm."

Me - "Oh yeah, that's right, I didn't see that it was so blatant from your perspective. Anyway, if I voluntarily proposed to Kosho to pierce me, it's not because I like to be hurt nor because I want to disgust you. It is to show you the proof of the third rule. And moreover you could see, that when both people are willing. Piercing someone does not lead to the death of the other.

Angelo - "It's true that you've just clarified this point for us, but how is putting a hole in your arm going to prove your third rule?"

Me - "I was just getting to that. I think I'm actually following one of his famous 'mistakes' with a second chip."

Ojoth - "And how can we believe you?"

Me - "Because since the war started, I've developed a certain ability."

Ojoth - "Oh yeah? Go ahead and show it to us, we're all eager to know it. "

Me - "I have developed a regenerative ability far superior to any human being. So much so that in just one hour, my wound will be almost completely closed."

Kosho - "And do you have any proof of this?"

Me - "Of course, this phenomenon has already happened to me three times since the beginning of the war. Alia has witnessed it twice.

Kana - "Alia, is it true what he says?"

Alia - "Exactly, everything he's been telling us from the beginning is totally accurate. To tell you the truth, the first time I met him, he had just come out of a fight and his nose was completely broken. But in just one night, his wound disappeared as if it had never existed."

Kosho - "It's all very well to tell us that, but you were only the two of you, none of us were there to see it."

Me - "Exactly, that's why the second example will make you change your mind. Go ahead Alia, you can tell the second time."

Alia - "The one with the hunters? Are you sure?"

Me - "Yes, no problem and don't forget the most important detail."

Alia - "Very well. Then with Yùichi we left in the forest near the village of Yo, to go to buy weapons to the hunters. Unfortunately, before we could find them, we were caught by them. So when we wake up, the man tries to impress us for some reason. After that, Yùichi provokes him and proposes him a duel. The winner of the duel would have the right to take all the things of the loser and the loser if he refuses, will die by the hand of the winner. Of course, this part of the contract was just to prevent the loser from doing anything, even if this second part is totally obsolete. Anyway, after that, the two fight and Yùichi receives several knife wounds in both arms and one leg. This time, you can see the different wounds on these arms. Anyway, Yùichi finally managed to beat him, and by an external circumstance his opponent died. All this to say that these wounds, once again, closed in a few hours only."

Kosho - "I'm sorry, but once again, we have no evidence that these scars were not already present before this duel."

Kana - "Kosho, for you who has only known Yùichi since yesterday, it's completely normal that you don't know. But for me who knows him since his birth, I can tell you that he never had scars like this one on his arms. And especially that this kind of wounds can't completely heal in only three or four days, so for my part. I believe completely in Yùichi and I do think that the third rule will appear during the war."

Nomiko - "I agree with Kana, and especially, what would be the advantage for Yùichi to lie to us all. And what's more, he made an example of us. So we just have to wait an hour to see whether or not his regeneration ability is real or not."

Me - "I thank you for speaking up for me. Anyway, now that the third rule is more or less accepted by everyone. I can tell you about the fourth one. For this one, I confess that even I don't believe in it too much. But since I've heard it from several people here, I thought it would be useful to present it to you. It will probably sound totally irrational, but on the two occasions I heard it, it was only afterwards that I noticed that we didn't know any historical facts about more than 500 years ago. And as before the year 0 we don't know what happened on Tarria. It is thanks to this small proof that they ended up thinking that every 500 years the 8 Great Patriarchs started this "Final War" again for a reason that they too are totally unaware of. So to finish on this fourth rule, thanks to this announcement, I now have one more reason to absolutely want to win this war, and thus find out what this "Final War" is hiding and discover who these Great Patriarchs really are."
