"Speech"
Arc 4: Experience the Story - Chapter 13
I let out a bored yawn, stretching a bit as I watched the scene unfolding before me. The girls are deep in a one-sided conversation with their fellow classmates, while the contractors of these students are in quite the humiliating position—heads pressed to the ground, buttocks pointed to the ceiling, their arms awkwardly pinned behind their backs. It's almost comical, but none of them trigger any recollection of fictional characters from stories I know. Either they're extra powerful beings, or I simply haven't encountered their worlds in the media I've checked out.
After a moment, I casually shut down the Delayed Effect, allowing the space to return to normal. Now, anyone could enter the building again without restriction. I scan the area, half-expecting more people to show up, but there's no new activity. It's quiet, much quieter than it had been earlier in the morning. I suppose Featherine has decided to stop her little games, at least for now. No more sending unfortunate souls to their demise just for a fleeting moment of amusement.
Ruby steps forward, her sneer cutting through the tense atmosphere. "Now, tell us about your class assignments; otherwise, things might get ugly." She demands, her voice dripping with menace. Her sharp gaze pierces the students, and I can see the fear reflected in their eyes. "I'll let you know we're being merciful right now. At least none of you are dead."
Octavia, standing nearby, mutters under her breath, "Yeah, just a ton of blood loss, crippling limbs that'll need a whole lot of healing powers or some miracle items to fix all those injuries instantly." She pauses, shaking her head slightly. "Not to mention the eyeballs... why the eyes, though? All of them only have an eye left."
"And don't think you can call for any help." Weiss stepped forward with an air of authority, one hand resting on her hip. Her icy gaze lands on the students, sending a visible shiver through them. "I'll let you know now that I've already prepared a special, cruel torture technique. One that will make you wish for death." Her voice is calm, almost detached, as if discussing something as casual as the weather. "Even in your current state, it's my work to prevent you from dying despite how badly injured you are now. Therefore, after the torture, you'll still live, and how long that will last... well, that depends entirely on my mood."
I can't help but internally wince. Yikes. Cold doesn't even begin to describe it. And that level of sadism? It definitely reminds me of someone.
Ruby, not one to be outdone, chimes in with a devilish giggle. "If, by some miracle, one of you guys is still holding on by the end, I could always continue sacrificing bits of you until there's nothing left but bones." Her eyes gleam with malicious glee. "And even then, I might just sacrifice those too, send you off to whichever buyers might be interested in what's left of you."
Ruby lets out another laugh, and I have to admit, the atmosphere feels darker with each passing second. The students are trembling now, fully realizing the gravity of the situation. It's clear they're regretting ever crossing paths with us, or just Ruby and Weiss in general.
"My class assignment is to become a Harem King!" One student blurts out, standing up with surprising confidence.
Another chimes in right after, "My class assignment is to become a NTR Bastard King!" His voice is equally as bold, almost proud of the absurdity.
Then, without skipping a beat, a third declares with alarming intensity, "My class assignment is to murder a thousand men!"
The air in the room seemed to freeze. Everything came to an abrupt halt. Even the students who were moments away from sharing their own assignments fell silent, their words caught in their throats. It's as if everyone collectively needed a moment to process what they'd just heard.
Crazy voices, I'm at a complete loss for words. My brain stalls for a second, unable to fathom the absurdity these students just spouted. What kind of class assignments are these? Is this some sort of twisted joke, or are they actually serious? Either way, things just took an unexpected turn.
"You fucker!" The student with the class assignment to become a Harem King shouts, his face twisted in rage. Without thinking, he lunges forward and throws a punch at the one who just revealed his intention to become an NTR Bastard King.
But the result is far from what he expected. His body, already battered and broken from the earlier injuries, fails him miserably. His feet barely move, and his arms, crippled from the earlier punishment, can't follow through. Instead, he ends up collapsing awkwardly to the ground, face-first, unable to even lift himself from his sitting position. The pathetic sight does little to dampen the fury in his eyes.
"I'll kill you!" He roars, his voice filled with pure rage, though his body refuses to cooperate with his deadly intent.
The potential future NTR Bastard King smirks through the pain, coughing up blood from his own injuries. "Hey, it's not my fault that I was assigned such a thing." He sneers, clearly enjoying the situation despite the violence it's caused. His mocking tone only fuels the Harem King's anger further, though both are too injured to do much more than exchange hostile glares.
Ruby steps forward, her expression one of complete disdain. Without hesitation, she delivers a swift, brutal kick to the mouth of the enraged student on the ground, silencing him instantly. The force causes him to choke on his own blood as his body crumples in on itself. Not done yet, she turns to the other, the one who had been boasting about his NTR Bastard King assignment, and with a single, vicious slap, she shatters his jaw. The crack echoes through the hallway, followed by his pained groan as he slumps, too broken to respond.
"Right." Ruby wipes her hands as if dusting them off. A cruel smile spreads across her face as she looks at the remaining students. "Let's get back to business. Class assignments. Spill."
Her tone leaves no room for argument. The remaining students, now more terrified than ever, scramble to answer. They barely manage to keep their voices steady as they reveal their class assignments, not missing a beat. None of them dare risk any further injury, especially with Weiss' sadistic torture techniques hanging over them like a butcher knife.
I snap my fingers without even glancing at the contractor, who thought he could slip by unnoticed. His arrogance is met with immediate and violent consequences. His body twists unnaturally, like a rag being wrung out, and in seconds, blood sprays across the hallway, splattering the nearby contractors who were too close for comfort. Their eyes widen in horror, frozen in place by the brutality of what just happened. The air grows thick with the scent of blood.
Octavia watches the gruesome display without flinching, her gaze fixed on the lifeless body now sprawled before her. "What happened to giving warnings?"
I turn to her with a smile, unaffected by the carnage. "That was a warning," I say smoothly, my voice calm. "A warning to the other contractors not to test my patience."
"Why are Ruby and Weiss so curious about the other students' class assignments anyway?" Octavia asks out of curiosity as she glances back at the two girls, who seem almost too invested in this twisted interrogation. "It's not like it would matter after a while."
I shrug, feeling the weight of her question, but knowing the answer is simpler than it seems. "Just because." I reply, nonchalantly. "Otherwise, those two would think up other ways to entertain themselves." I tilt my head slightly, already suspecting their true intentions. "Honestly, I already have half a mind that they were planning to kill everyone instead of this."
Crazy voices, the way Ruby and Weiss have been acting lately. Their old selves, once restrained and focused on other things, seem to be fading away. Now, the violence they casually indulge in is almost becoming a normal thing.
I glance down at the twisted, bloody remains of the contractor, his body nothing more than a grotesque pile now. The sight doesn't bother me as much as it once might have. Right. I've probably already crossed that line—leaning more toward lethal solutions without hesitation. These days, killing feels almost second nature.
"Okay, time for us to move—" My words are cut short as a bullet suddenly speeds toward me, nearly striking the side of my head. Instinct kicks in, and I use Delayed Effect to halt its momentum just before it makes contact. Then, without missing a beat, I utilize the Authority of Greed: Stillness of an Object's Time, freezing the bullet in place. With a flick of my finger, I tap it away, irritated by the interruption.
"FUCK!" Comes the scream of one of the students, who ends up taking the bullet in the thigh. Blood splatters across the floor as he clutches his leg, writhing in pain. I can't help but feel a bit indifferent.
"Well, that was rude." I mutter, turning my attention to the large glass windows lining the hallway. Through my En, I spot another building directly across from where I am. There, I see a masked figure, their sniper rifle trained in my direction. This isn't Sniper Mask, but someone else entirely—another faceless assailant trying to take me out.
With a calm clap of my hands, I activated Makima's powers, and in an instant, the masked sniper exploded to death. Just like that, another threat was neutralized without breaking a sweat.
Then I glance down and, of course, I see the all-too-familiar effect—the price for using Makima's abilities.
I have a boner now.
The next thing I know, Ruby slams into me, pressing her lips forcefully against mine. Her arms are wrapped tightly around my neck, her legs locked around my waist. Somehow, in the midst of everything, she's already undone my zipper and has my dick inside her, her wet pussy gripping me as she moves without restraint. The sudden intensity throws me off for a moment, but Ruby clearly doesn't care about anything else.
"Dang it, Ruby! You don't get to fuck Jin and leave me doing all the work here!" Weiss screams in frustration, her anger quickly boiling over. In her fury, she lashes out, delivering a swift kick to the nearest student's head, shattering it instantly. The headless corpse crumples to the ground beside her, blood spraying across the floor in a grotesque display. Weiss barely gives it a second thought, too annoyed by the situation to care.
Octavia, standing off to the side, lets out an exasperated sigh. "And here I thought the people in the Circle of Lust were perverted and sex-obsessed..." She mutters under her breath, clearly unimpressed with the bizarre scene. Shaking her head, she quickly makes her way over to Weiss, creating some distance from Ruby and me. "I'll help you out just to get this over with."
Meanwhile, Ruby continues, utterly shameless and lost in her own pleasure, as the atmosphere takes a strange, surreal turn amidst the violence and lust.
In hindsight, I have absolutely no idea why I even bothered using Makima's powers when I could've easily done the same thing with Warping or any number of other cheats I have at my disposal. It's not like I needed to risk that embarrassing side effect, but here we are.
Then again, maybe it's because I found the way Ruby and Weiss have been acting lately—cold, dominant, and just a little unhinged—kind of hot. Don't judge me, crazy voices. Anyway, maybe it got to me and stirred something I didn't expect. Yeah, that might explain why I subconsciously went for Makima's powers instead of using something else.
Either way, I'm paying for it now.
