Chereads / The Virtues of this Tropical Isle / Chapter 29 - Polar Opposites

Chapter 29 - Polar Opposites

The two sides ready themselves for battle.

Kaneda and Tetsuo stand across Alexia and Xella.

Kaneda stares at the outfit Tetsuo is wearing.

"Where did you come from it must have been freezing?"

"Up north where am always am" Tetsuo responds.

Tetsuo takes off his coat and wears a black undershirt with no sleeves.

"There we go much better" Tetsuo states while stretching and getting ready to fight.

"Captain can you keep up with me" Tetsuo teases Kaneda.

"Of course Tetsuo that's why I am Captain and you're not."

The two smirk at one another.

The two then dash at Xella and Alexia. The two girls were startled by their speeds.

"Fast, there fast," Xella says.

"He wasn't moving this fast earlier" Alexia worries.

The girls intend to block the attacks coming from Kaneda and Tetsuo on the left and right sides.

BLINK

"Huh"

"What the hell"

Suddenly the two disappear.

Within a split second, Kaneda and Tetsuo reappear but on opposite sides of the girls, the two girls receive direct attacks as both get knocked away.

"Where," Xella says.

"I swear I saw them attack from left and right but now they're coming from right and left do my eyes deceive me," Alexia states.

The two girls then feel dizzy and unable to walk straight.

"It feels like I am drunk, What is this Alexia? " Xella says.

"Some kind of illusion ability it seems," Alexia says.

Kaneda and Tetsuo smile and chuckle at the girls.

"What so funny!" Xella commands the Aurora Veil to shoot beams at the two.

BLAST

"Completely off the mark," Kaneda says.

"WHAT"

"Look Xella," Alexia says.

Tetsuo's compass around his neck glows a silver hue.

Sanada Tetsuo Ability Explained: Cardinal Points

Sanada can manipulate an enemy's sense of direction North, South, East, and West. The enemy won't know which direction they are in.

"Pretty tricky ability," Alexia says.

"Which way should I attack?"

Alexia suddenly stops in her tracks.

She scatters her poisonous smoke bombs in every direction.

"Since you both seem to be close-ranged fighters it will be useless to get this close to us now," Alexia says.

The girls now surround themselves with Alexia's poison bombs.

"How about that now our senses don't really matter if we protect ourselves."

Attracting Force

Kaneda pulls both in again.

"DELETE"

Xella fires little snow needles but misses the Kaneda and Tetsuo completely. In fact, she sends the needles flying toward themselves.

"Again but I thought Alexia deleted-"

Alexia got hit and pinned down by Xella's snow needles.

POW

Tetsuo punches Xella in the gut as she was distracted by Alexia's ability not working.

"So that "delete" ability can delete more than 1 ability huh? Since I used my ability to make contact with you guys last that is the ability that was temporarily deleted. Hence the reason why Tetsuos ability was deleted." Kaneda explains.

"Ugh. These two are trouble. They truly are a dynamic duo. The Captain seems to be stronger now that he got his underling with him. But somethings off I can feel it." Alexia thinks to herself while being pinned to the ground.

"Xella move!" Alexia commands as lays on the ground after getting punched.

"It seems that you are the stronger between the two of you," Tetsuo says walking closer to Alexia with a grin on his face.

"Oi let's calm it a little bit Tetsuo we beat them," Kaneda says waving his arms.

"Oh, there you go Captain with your morals of not wanting to kill your opponents. These guys are the problem. There the ones that are responsible for this syndrome. They're the ones that brought the Seven Deadly Sins back. They're the ones putting everyone's lives in danger." Tetsuo says.

"We have to think about this situation rationally Tetsuo we can keep them hostage and ask them questions," Kaneda says.

"No, these guys deserve to die" with a serious expression on his face.

Tetsuo sticks his right arm out and a double-bladed spear that looks like the magnetic needles on a compass appears.

"That's it. His subordinate contradicts his beliefs"

Kaneda stands in front of Tetsuo protecting Alexia.

"Sanada don't make me do this again."

"THIS RIGHT HERE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I DONT FOLLOW YOU" Tetsuo yells.

"YES TRUE THERE ARE TIMES WE WILL APPREHEND AN ENEMY BUT THIS ENEMY IS WORLD THREATING AND YOU STAND THERE PROTECTING THEM" Tetsuo points his blade at Kaneda.

"TELL ME CAPTAIN WHY IS IT THAT YOU HOLD BACK? WHY IS IT THAT YOU PERCEIVE YOURSELF AS SOME GOOFBALL OF THE GROUP? TELL ME WHY YOU'RE NOT HEAD CAPTAIN. I AND YOU ARE NOT COMPATIBLE AT ALL.

WE ARE POLAR OPPOSITES.

Captain and Liutenentant stare each other down.

"You really want to do this Sanada" "SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT"

CRACK

The two suddenly stop in their tracks as the barrier seems to break down.

"Paige's barrier broke down is she alright? No, she didn't release the barrier someone broke it."

MUNCH MUNCH

A man with With messy hair, a big belly, big arms, and red eyes, dressed in normal attire, with a tattoo that says "I love food" "Wow, that was good. Felt like I was watching a movie. You two are done already?"

Walking towards the two was a man with an ominous presence eating some chips.

"Who are you?" Tetsuo asks.

"HMM. S Rank and A Rank. Ah Base form should be enough." the man says.

The two then feel intense pressure and intent to kill.

"I am the Demon Lord of Gluttony." The man says.

"Demon Lord??!" Kaneda thinks to himself.

"Dukes come thee!" Gluttony says.
