Chapter 23 - auction(3)

Lucca: Hm, did something happen?

Dakota: Well, yeah, something very bad happened.

Lucca: Tell me.

Dakota: Well, when I was with that guy heading to the safe to put the crystal in it, a high-ranked Djinn was there, waiting for us.

Lucca: What?! You saw a high-ranked Djinn?

Dakota: Yep.

Lucca: So then, what did he do?

Dakota: First, he killed the guy and stole the crystal from him. When I tried to cut his head off, he dodged effortlessly and knocked me out with a single hit.

Dakota: So, the crystal got stolen by that high-ranked Djinn, and the guy died too.

Lucca: What? No way! This can't be happening.

Lucca: Wait, what if you're just lying, and you're hiding the crystal somewhere in your clothes?

Dakota: I mean, you can check if you want.

Lucca: Okay, then I will.

So Lucca starts checking my clothes, looking for the crystal. Of course, he didn't find anything, since the crystal was hidden in my invisible bag.

Lucca: Looks like you're telling the truth. Would you mind telling me what the Djinn looked like?

Dakota: Well, I didn't see his face since he was wearing a mask, but he was about 5 foot 8 and kind of bulky. That's all I've got.

Lucca: But still, thanks for the information.

Dakota: Yeah, no problem. Now I'm gonna go down and help put a stop to this chaos.

Lucca: Okay, you should do that. Oh, I am so screwed for losing that crystal.

I then jump down from the auctioneer's stage.

Dakota: Oh, I can't believe he actually fell for that! I actually managed to steal the crystal too. I've now completed my first mission.

Dakota: Well, technically, it should be my second mission because of the Djinn mission, but I wasn't expecting that one, so I don't know if it counts.

Dakota: Oh well, let's see how they're doing.

Dakota: Oh, what the...

What I saw made my stomach drop. My friends were all bloodied and tired, barely standing.

Dakota: Hey, guys, what the actual fuck happened?

Henry: Oh, Dakota, you're back! Well, 15 low-ranked Djinns fought against the nine of us, so we are really struggling.

Dakota: Well, don't worry. I'll kill all those fucking Djinns.

Dakota used Flame Boost and instantly killed five Djinns in one move.

Dakota: How do you like that, huh? You fucking Djinns.

Djinn: Damn, he's strong. Hey, guys, let's gang up on him!

Lucas: And where the fuck do you think you're going?

Lucas: And all of my friends stopped the Djinns from ganging up on me.

Ava: Don't think you can just gang up on Dakota. And don't expect us to just stand by and do nothing.

Liam: You Djinns really are a bunch of retards.

Djinn: Shut the fuck up, you dirty humans.

My friends and the Djinns started fighting, and so did I. Me and my friends wiped out all the Djinns.

Dakota: Okay, we killed them, but there are still more left. Let's go kill them all.

Henry: Yeah, let's go.

And just as I was about to charge in and finish off some more Djinns, I suddenly noticed something strange—someone was staring at me. The bloodlust was almost suffocating. It sent a chill down my spine.

Dakota: What the fuck? Who the hell is staring at me? This is giving me goosebumps for some reason.

Dakota: Oh well, it must be some Djinn... but wait, why would a Djinn stare at me like that, with so much bloodlust? Maybe it's the friends of the Djinns I killed in the labyrinth.

Dakota: I don't know, but I don't have time to figure that out. I need to kill the rest of these Djinns.

So after about half an hour, everyone finally killed all the Djinns. Some escaped, but we managed to kill about 99% of them.

Henry: Wow, that was intense, but not as intense as the Djinn fight in the labyrinth.

Dakota: Yeah, that's true. Are all of you guys okay?

Lucas: Well, I'm okay. Just a few scratches.

Ava: I'm not really that okay.

Amelia: I feel like I'm about to throw up.

Liam: I feel like I'm about to pass out.

Jack: I feel fine.

Dakota: Yeah, you're definitely not fine. You're just putting on a tough act.

Mia: I need a healing potion.

Luna: Me too.

Dakota: Okay, it seems some of you are fine, and some of you are not.

Dakota: I do wonder how much we're going to get paid.

Henry: Well, it's definitely not 100K each.

Dakota: Yeah, that's for sure.

Miko: Oh hey, are all of you students okay?

Dakota: Yeah, we're all okay.

Mako: Well, I'm glad to hear that.

Dakota: Are the both of you okay?

Miko: Hm, of course we are. We are the guild leaders of the two strongest guilds. No Djinn here was a match for us.

Dakota: Yeah, I shouldn't have asked. The answer was obvious already.

Mako: So, what are you all going to do now?

Dakota: We'll probably first heal our injuries, and then head back to America.

Miko: Oh, I see. Do you need healing potions?

Henry: Wait, will you give them to us?

Miko: Yeah, why not? You need them more than we do.

Dakota: Yes, we would like to take them.

Miko: Okay, then. Here are 10 healing potions.

Dakota: Actually, we only need nine.

Miko: Oh, I know. The tenth is a gift for when you join the guild.

Dakota: Oh, okay then. I'll take it.

So we all took the healing potions except for me and drank them.

Henry: Ah, finally! I'm all healed up.

Lucas: Yeah, all of my energy came back too. She must have given us some really good healing potions.

Ava: Yeah, she must have.

Dakota: Okay, now that you're all healed up, it's time to go collect our money.

Mia: Yup, let's go.

So we all collected our money, which turned out to be 50K each.

Then we all returned to our apartment.

Dakota: Ah, we're finally back.

Henry: But remember, Dakota, this is our last day here.

Dakota: Yes, I know. So we're leaving tomorrow, huh?

Dakota: This really was a good trip.
