Chereads / He Who Carries Death / Chapter 15 - Day before The Reign

Chapter 15 - Day before The Reign

The days had passed fast, almost in the blink of an eye. The Reign was knocking, and that was the hot topic that day. Asahi summoned the Horsemen together in his room, but Gail was not included. He inquired about the details of the Reign from Leo and Kenji, since they were the ones who had fought the Reign before. "The Reign doesn't go down within this building, it's done Outside. The is a large barrier surrounding the compound in which this facility is located. There is this arena like structure- hexagonal in shape- that's where the battle goes down.",Kenji answered.

"If an Emperor wins, it's up to him if he wants to leave his opponent alive, but the only way to win against an Emperor and leave a lab, is if you successfully take his life. Fighting as a team is authorized, but even if one member of the team fights alone, the whole team will qualify to leave the gate. Now, how are we going to approach this, Asahi?", Leo added. Asahi fell silent for a bit before continuing,"I think I'm going to fight alone." Their expressions dropped when they heard this, and Leo was the first to object."Asahi!! You're joking, right? He's far too strong! If we fought together I'm sure we could--" "No! I'm doing it by myself- In no case should you interfere with the battle, Is that understood?" With silence, they all nodded and Asahi smiled. "This is the beginning- Let's ride in together, Horsemen!"

Meanwhile Gail was walking back to her room when she saw her roommate, Reggie walking towards her. His hair was messy, with a dark orange hue. His eyes were a dark Grey and he had a tall stature. His ability was called "Zeus" which gave him the ability to freely manipulate lightning, and it was ranked in B class."Where do you come from,Gail?" Gail tried to ignore him and brush past him but he grabbed onto her arm and began to squeeze it tightly. She whinced slightly before trying to pull her arm away, but he was stronger than her."Why the rush, Gail?" She kept on struggling to leave."Let me go, Reggie!!" "Just so you know- I'm going to win tomorrow's Reign, and when I'm leaving, I'm going to take you with me.." She finally broke free from his grasp and fell to the floor, clenching her arm from the pain. She giggled at him slightly and then chuckled."What's so funny?",Reggie asked looking annoyed. "You really think someone like you would win the Reign? Let me burst your bubble- The one's who will win the Reign-- are Asahi and his team, the Horsemen!! To them, you don't stand even the slightest chance, so go to frigging hell, you bastard!" Reggie face scrunched up angrily at Gail's remarks, and he grabbed her neck and began to strangle her whiles an orange electric surge formed in his other hand."So you have aligned yourself with that good-for-nothing F class just because he beat a few nobodies. You think he will win? You think he will save you? Think again you piece of filth! You will regret ever saying that to me, Harper Gail!" With that, Reggie let her go and she fell down gagging for air. He stormed away in anger as Gail sat on the ground. "Please...Asahi....You have....to WIN!"
