"Everyone has gathered, it seems," the boy said, glancing around. Despite his cowardice, he could actually put up a good speech as long as no one called his bluff or threatened him with violence like I had.
"What did you call this eting for?" A guy in the audience asked, raising his hand. "You said it had to do with the control of this Zone, that's why I ca. Don't tell you plan on driving the rest of us out?"
"Please wait with your questions and let talk," the boy replied, professionally pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "As you all can tell, there are only 12 available rooms suitable for sleeping in at night, That is enough for exactly 3 full teams in total. I doubt anyone here wants to sleep on the streets, so I have a proposal for those who have already t up with at least one of their teammates."
At this, the crowd began to stir, half-knowing what's coming next but half-uncertain as well.
"I propose" The boy paused for dramatic effect. " We kick out all the people who have yet to et up with a single one of their teammates."
"WHAT? YOU WANT TO CAST ALL OF US AWAY?!"
"You're not the owner of this place! You can't just drive us out!"
"You'll have to do so over my dead body!"
"Calm down, everyone!" The boy cried, begging for the crowd to just listen to him explain. "Please, let finish!"
The crowd reluctantly settled down once more, giving him a chance.
"Allow to put it this way. Rather than getting 'kicked out' of this Zone, you will be provided with an opportunity to go to a different one, where your teammates may very well be at. This way, not only will you be able to et up with your allies, we can also resolve this overpopulation matter peacefully."
"Fuck peace!" A disciple roared in fury. "I was the first person to arrive at this place, and now you want to kick out?! I'll never accept this!"
"Yeah, yeah! Just because I haven't found my teammates yet, doesn't give you the right to just kick us out! If anything, we should decide who gets to stay via a fair competitio-"
Before the young disciple could even finish his sentence, a blade sliced through the air and cut his word short as his head was lopped off in the blink of an eye.
"Competition? Sure. Fair? Not so much, hehe~"
Everyone stood, shocked at what just happened, as the decapitated body fell limply to the floor, spouting fresh red blood from its neck.
The perpetrator, a familiar beautiful girl with long black hair and dazzling pink eyes, landed behind the crowd, scythe stained with blood. Slowly straightening her body, she turned around to face the crowd and swung her weapon around, splattering blood everywhere.
"AHHH!"
A few frantic and cowardly disciples, the one who gave the speech included, hurriedly began running away, while the braver/dumber ones stayed behind.
" Who are you?" A disciple at the very front asked, raising his long wooden staff in defense and narrowing his eyes, on guard and prepared for anything.
The girl Nadeshiko smiled innocently.
" Your murderer."
SLASH.
In an instant, the boy's head was too lying on the ground, rolling around and coming to a stop beneath another disciple's foot.
"You how dare you KILL MY FRIEND?!"
The man lunged towards Nadeshiko, but she rely smiled and pointed behind him.
"Look out~"
"Wha-!"
An arrow, seemingly shot out of nowhere, pierced the man's heart before he could even get close to Nadeshiko. Everyone turned their gazes to the window of a building across from where I was. An elf stood there, eyes filled with malice.
"It is not the individuals that should be kicked out but the ones who have already found teammates. After all, that would give them a better chance at surviving out in the wilds, no?"
"RAGH!" Two other male disciples imdiately leaped onto the building and chased after her disappearing figure, vanishing from sight.
In an instant, the battlefield was enveloped in chaos. Those without teammates banded together to fight against those who did, and before long, two sides had ford.
"Looks like it's begun," Ming Yi said, gazing out at the bloodbath below. Disciples injured, killed, crippled.
"Are you okay with this?" I asked without looking at him.
"Sure. It's not like I have any attachnts with these people or anything. I'll just follow your lead, Brother Kaze."
"I see. Koroth?"
"I'm fine as well. It don't care about demons or humans both races have neglected . They can be purged, for all I care."
"Okay that was darker than expected, but-"
"Kaze~~" A voice suddenly called out from behind as I felt two arms wrap around my neck and pull backwards.
I quickly stopped her by pulling on her arms, easily overpowering her. She ended up doing a frontflip and landing in my lap instead.
" Nadeshiko."
"Heehee, surprised to see ~?" She giggled, setting her scythe by my neck. "Oh, how easily I could kill you right now~"
"Go ahead. Just know that if you do, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death," I said darkly and coldly, glaring into her seductive eyes.
"If you do that, I won't be able to spend any more ti with you~ so I'll hold off on the killing for now. There's plenty of prey down there for , after all"
She licked her lips and glanced down, where the disciples were still fighting to the death, then turned to .
"Eh? You're not going to say no?"
Ming Yi laughed. "He was the one who created all this chaos in the first place. Why would he interfere now?"
"Ara ara~ does this an" Nadeshiko brought her face closer to mine and tilted my head up to look into her eyes. " I can let loose~?"
I nodded slowly, and she imdiately pulled into a kiss, slipping her tongue into my mouth and taking by surprise. After a few seconds of being completely paralyzed, she backed away, wiping her mouth.
"Hehe~ you're the best, Kaze~
