There was a sharp click of the safety being released on the gun. The attendant's smile grew into a huge and crazed grin. There was the beep of a system, but for once it wasn't Jaden's.
A giant rifle materialized out of thin air. It was practically as large as Sofia was, but she held it without any problem.
Either that gun was made of paper or Sofia was crazy strong. Way stronger than any normal person, that was for sure.
Sofia put her eye to the scope, pointing straight at the attendant. "Identify yourself or I shall fire immediately."
The flight attendant was pretty young, now that Jaden had a better look. Were 15 year olds actually allowed to work on airlines? They weren't allowed to point guns at passengers, so Jaden supposed breaking the age requirements wasn't out of the question for this attendant. He had wild spiky blonde hair and blue eyes glowing with exhilaration.
For some reason Jaden was reminded of a kid at an amusement park. Only this was a kid preparing to commit double murder. It was not a pleasant sight.
The attendant stuck out his hand pleasantly: "I can't believe I forgot!! My name is Vivil, but please please don't call me that just call me Viv, okay?"
Calm down, you hyperactive child! You should be at school, not committing murder on an airplane!
None of them were about to shake Viv's hand, so he dropped it sadly. "No handshake? Awww, I was hoping I could rip your hands off…"
It did not sound like a joke.
Sofi narrowed her eyes. "I'm afraid I cannot allow you to continue your attack. If this man were to die it would not affect me personally but I disagree with murder in any form."
Now really isn't the time for your weirdness, Sofia! Jaden didn't want to trust her to defend him in this situation. She really didn't have a great record of successful fights so far.
[Scan for Weaknesses?]
System, stop that temptation! There was no hiding here! No one had passed out, and no one was closing their eyes. That martial arts excuse won't work every time!
He could not use his system here. He would not. If he did, there would be no more secrets and no more ordinary life.
Sofia and Viv were now preparing to fire at each other. This was going to go very poorly. As much as he didn't like Sofia, he didn't want to see her die! Was there really no choice?
No! He couldn't give up this easily. System, you will not win this time!
Viv began to laugh crazily. Sofia glared even more angrily at his laughter, her eyes seemed more like fire than ice. She aimed her gun and a blue ring materialized at the tip, preparing to launch a powerful blast.
Be careful, this airplane really isn't built for a fight like this!
Viv only laughed, and flipped his gun in the air, catching it with his other hand. He would never stop trying to show off. The two of them aimed…
And…
Never fired. A giant, meaty, hand grabbed the tip of Viv's gun, crushing it as if it was made of ice cream.
Viv cried out: "Borgeeeerrr!! Whyyy!???"
Borger was a truly gigantic man, who's smooth head was only slightly less round than his stomach. Despite his huge frame, he had somehow snuck up almost silently.
Jaden couldn't tell if he was really that good at sneaking up or if he had been too focused on the gun fight.
Borger sighed and wagged his finger at Viv. As his finger waved, his stomach swung back and forth alongside it. It really was a striking sight. "Think before you act. Don't kill if you aren't sure about your targets. Also, It's Borger Porker."
What was he doing, giving fatherly advice to this bloodthirsty wannabe murderer!?
Viv gave a huge sigh. "Awww, but his head is sooo big. I really wanted to see it explode! It would have been amazing, so much blood everywhere!"
Jaden was very offended. His head was not that big.
Jaden and Sofia both did not know what to say. What would anyone say in this situation? Thankfully, there was someone else who was rather frustrated by the whole situation.
A tall and lanky man strode into the room like a whirlwind. Jaden had met many men like him before. The sort of uptight man always adjusting his glasses who dressed in a poorly fitted suit and looked like he perpetually woke up too early.
"Vivil, perhaps you've forgotten we needed one system user alive? You don't even know which one is which!!" His voice sounded like it was pretty used to screaming. "And Borger, lectures are for after the mission! It's so simple, why can't you understand!?"
Viv jumped up and down. "Don't call me Vivil!!"
Borger Porker kept his two huge feet firmly on the ground. "Hey hey, Tenma, I'm not just Borger. I'm a butcher! I'm Borger Porker!"
Tenma yelled: "That is not important!!"
Jaden sort of felt for him. He sounded on the brink of a mental breakdown. Jaden understood his struggle. Sometimes having a terrible team on a group project makes your entire life nothing but suffering.
But take your murderous group project somewhere else, damn it!
Jaden stepped forward, his hand raised. "There seems to be a mistake. If you're looking for two system users, you have the wrong people. You see, I actually…do not have a system."
The three hitmen stopped arguing. Viv and Borger gave a half shrug. As for Tenma, his mouth was hanging open and it looked as though he was about to start screaming and crying at the same time.
