My.... My head hurts...
I must've drank too much booze last night...
As I faintly open my eyes to notice I am sleeping outside the tent on Javier's lap, I push away Javier and hear a faint voice as I clear my vision.
"Wake up princess, you're getting late for your beauty pageant! "
I looked at the tall masculine man wearing an officer cap, he had brunette hair and bloodshot eyes. My brain can't fully process this man's figure but just by his sheer presence, I know that he's strong.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked with a raspy tone.
"I'm part of the beauty management," he said while gently smiling.
He grabbed a bayonet rifle and aimed it at my head, I could feel the cold tip of the blade send chills down my spine as he slowly positioned it on my forehead
"Now if you don't get the fuck up I'll go and give you a makeover, how's that sound?"
"How can I get up properly when I have a rifle aimed at my skull?"
The man threw the rifle to the side and gripped my collar tight, he looked at me with a hysterical look on his face and threw me by the side.
What's with this guy?!
"Hey, what's your fucking problem?!"
The man without a care in the world simply ignored my question, he went to Javier and Luna at stared at the both of them while they were asleep, he took out his pistol and aimed the cold steel in between Luna and Javier's ears.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The both of them jumped in fear thinking that the caines had infiltrated their camp, as they both panicked trying to find his rifle
"Hey dumbasses I'm right in front of you!"
Javier and Luna looked in the man's direction and were on a rollercoaster of emotions, as they looked at the man's sharp gaze.
"Long time no see maggots," he smiled,
"Now, get the fuck up or the next chamber will go right through your skull!"
In a sudden stimulation in their body, they quickly got up by instinct with their posture tight and their arms raised.
"Lieutenant Franz!"
Franz.....
The name seems familiar...
Javier looks at Felizch lying on the ground and a panic shouts at him.
"What the hell are you doing Felizch, salute this man at once!"
I sarcastically got up and raised my arm, with my feet wobbling and my head crushed while staring at the Drill Sergeant.
He turned to me and started walking in my direction, he looked at me from head to toe as if he was scanning my posture.
Crack!
He struck my groin with his shin I felt a vibrating sensation transmitting from one nerve to another, and something seemed as if traveling through my throat.
Arghhh!
Wait...
Something's comin-
Retchh!
By the sheer force of his kick, I puked at his
newly leather-cleaned shoes, The man looked at his shoes with a menacing gaze whilst smiling. His eyes were twitching and his hands were shaking he looked at me.
"Eat that."
"What?" I asked confused, as he grabbed my head and smashed it into the ground, he stepped on me and little bits of my vomit fell from his shoe I warmly felt it rubbing the back of my head.
"Do you know how much these shoes cost... it costs more than your life!"
As I gasp for air he kicks the tip of his shoe accurately to my slightly opened mouth sliding it in as little bits of vomit and dirt slide down to my throat, again... I vomit at his leather shoes.
Rmmtch!
I lay there unconscious with my mouth open as small bits of vomit made a thick line on my face slowly coming out as some slid into my throat, he kicked me repeatedly in my abdomen but I felt nothing as I stared blankly into the abyss.
Ugh....
My stomach fucking hurts....
Splash!
I suddenly felt a cold shock enveloping my body and I wiped my eyes and slowly got up to see Franz's in front of me while I was tied up to a log.
Franz! Franz! Franz!
What the hell is with all this ruckus...
I looked around the area to see everyone gathered in a circle watching as I was tied up on a log.
"Hey get up you squint!" said a random person from the crowd
"Shut the fuck up dumbass, can't you see I'm tied up to a log?!"
Thwamp
Franz stomped on my face while I was tied up in the log, with a psychotic smile on his face.
"Don't speak without permission, the whole place will smell like vomit if you keep rambling with that mouth of yours."
"Yeah, that's right tell him that Wolf!" said the same random guy from the scene.
Franz looked at the random guy with brown hair and approached him with a smile on his face.
"I like you... What's your name?"
"Saviel, Mr... Wolf. "
"Savier..." He grabs the man by the collar and tosses him in the center of the crowd as he slowly regains his balance.
"Well well, gentlemen! Let us give a round of applause for our man Savier!"
The crowd aggressively cheers as Savier is in the center of the impending chaos.
"Beat his ass!"
"Kill the bastard!"
Those words I heard repeatedly as the cheers grew louder and louder.
"Well then Savier, I can see that the pack loves you so... much!"
"Bullshit!"
Thwamp!
Franz aggressively strikes his shin into my skull while smiling.
"Well then, sorry about that... as for why I brought you here..."
"I want you to kill him."
discomforted by the request Savier stares blankly into Franz's lifeless eyes
"What?"
Franz took out a knife from his pocket and cheerfully gave it to Savier.
"Well well, wait here!"
Franz cuts off the rope wrapped along Felizch's body and bows as the crowd cheers louder.
Just what the hell is happening...
"Now now, for you Mr. Felizch, I want you to beat him up till he's dead. If you do so, maybe I'll think twice about apologizing for forcing you to swallow your vomit! How does that sound, great isn't it?"
"Get to the poin-"
Arghh!
Franz struck my nose with a heavy left hook while having such a lifeless expression, that I faintly lost my balance as I gripped the log to regain my balance.
"Well well, Felizch said yes, the contract is signed!"
Franz walked into the middle of the crowd and, raised his hand in the air.
Whoosh, he swiped his hand down.
"Fight!"
The crowd cheers aggressively, hinting that the fight has just begun... Savier positions his feet in the dirt as he raises his guard tightly gripping his knife.
I'm betting 500 jules that this kid will beat that gray-haired brat!
Just 500? I'm betting 2000 jules!
"Seriously..."
I walked in Savier's direction and stared at his small physique, trembling as he looks at my lean body.
"I'll give you 5 seconds to either call another guy or pass the knife to him and leave."
Savier looks at me with a petrified expression as he slightly loses grip of his blade, I slightly gazed at his position and prepared to attack.
"Jinx!"
I swiftly grab his knife following up with a kick to the groin and a hook to the temple knocking him out.
Thud...
Boo!!!!
The crowd booed unsatisfied with the result
as they throw rocks at me.
"That's no fair, let me fight him!" called out a deep voice in the crowd.
The man walked to the middle removing his cloak as he revealed his buff physique.
"Well well, the big guy got some guts... Tell us, what's your name!" Franz asked enthusiastically as he made way for the buff man.
"Brax," he muttered
Brax!!! the crowd loudly cheered
"This is stupid... Start the fight already!"
Franz slightly gazed at me with a confused expression and smiled.
"Alright then, rip it!"
Yeah, he's surely gonna go down now I'm going all in 20,000 jules!
I lunged at the man to consecutively kick him four times, and he budged a little staring at me with a menacing eye.
"That's more like it!"
I ducked a little to land a leg kick, yet he caught my leg as he stared at me with a menacing eye and crushed my leg with his fist.
Crack!
I aggressively pulled out my leg and hopped in the air to land a devastating drop kick in his face, I lost a little bit of my balance but I managed to stand up with the support of my hands.
Phwap!
As he lost his balance I grabbed his cloak pulled him up, and stared at him with a vicious smile.
"Oh, there is no going down."
He looked at me terrified of what I was about to do, he flinched as I felt the punch I was about to land on his face and spit on his eye following up with a devastating overhand breaking his nose and knocking him out.
Thud....
"Seriously, even in this condition you still can't beat me?!"
Franz give our money back you con artist!
Yeah! This kid's too strong for his own good!
Franz's smile drops as he thinks of a way to fix this commotion.
"I'll go fight him myself," said Franz.
He looks at me with a disappointed glare and slowly approaches me.
"How dare you steal the money of my family..."
"Family? What kind of sorry excuse is that?"
"It doesn't matter I'll kill you anyway."
He charged up his fist ready to strike me in the face, the only thing I could do was to close my eyes and accept my fate...
I'm not fighting this man with a broken leg.
And to make it worse, I have no idea how this healing factor works.
Oh well, if this is how it ends... I'm at least glad I made out with a goddess, I'll see you again in heaven Haniel.
Spark~
For some reason, my body is moving on its own... and, why did they stop cheering? Did I get knocked out...? Am I dead? I slowly open my eyes expecting that I was in Paradise, but instead, I see the crowd frozen in place for no reason, I look around to see Franz was knocked out in the ground with a broken nose.
"What the fuck just happened..."
What the hell...
There's no way....
I just knocked out his monster!
"Yeah, take that bitch!"
How did the kid live....
There's no way, with his eyes closed?!
He's something else...
One by one, the crowd left dragging Savier and Brax's unconscious bodies, while I stared at Franz's unconscious body my legs suddenly got tired, and I looked for something to sit on worried that the dirt would stain my pants.
Hmm...
There's no harm in doing this right?
I walked to Franz's unconscious body and sat on his abdomen while staring at the beautiful sunset in the burnt port.
"How...." Franz spoke in a raspy tone
"How did you do it...."
"Do what?"
"Knock my ass out..."
I vaguely smiled and looked at his pathetic face covered in dust and spit.
"It's simple, I kissed a woman and got motivated."
"That's such a... cough cough... vague motivation."
"If it's so vague, could your motivation be any better?"
Franz looks at the sunset and a spark tiggers in the back of his head.
"I want my sister to finish school and be a successful woman."
"So you like your sister huh, disgusting."
"How is supporting your sibling... Ugh, nevermind someone as stupid like you won't understand."
As we both stare at the sunset listening the the crackling flames, Franz lays out a deep sigh.
"Can you get off me now... Please?"
