….. Cheers to keeping your life, mate!" After a brief hush, he looked through the scope, shifting briskly with his right eye, and then continued shooting at Bobby, but clearly this ti he was not intending to kill him. Then he tapped on the earpiece in his ear, turned it back on, and said, "I can't take down the target. Now, proceeding to Plan B, over!"
"No.10, hmm, this isn't you. You have never missed and given up on your opponent this easy. What happened?" The assassin No.1 replied in the line.
"The target is a freaking speedster, for crying out loud!" The Sharp-shooter responded as he kept firing at Bobby at the sa ti.
His words piqued his interest as this was his first ti hearing No.10 giving up on his target this easily. So, he further asked. "Hmm, not convincing enough. Literally, considering your expertise with shooting, I know you're always enthralled to take jobs related to speedster targets, always challenging yourself. Then why would you give up so easily after 6 minutes?"
"Alright-man, tell you what this brat is out of my league, bro? It was just a few minutes ago that I used my left eye's sure kill skill, and I was sure I could kill him with those five bullets since he had nowhere to hide, but you know what, that kid stopped himself instantly, standing in the ground stiffed like a tree after moving slightly near your record speed and dodged them. So he wins the bet!" No.10 explained patiently.
"This brat could almost compete with my fastest sprint speed! Oh, nice. This ti, I think I'll have so fun." No.1 said with excitent and he hushed, "Hmm, an interesting prey, indeed this ti."
"Yeah man, this's the most outstanding stun that could amaze in my entire career, and I know you'll be happy to hear about killing such challenging prey. So I give up." No.10 said through the line and he wondered inside his head. "And most important of all, I cannot really take him down. It will be pointless trying, anyway."
"Kekeke… No.10, you knew really well. Thanks for that. But can you do a favor?"
"I'm listening bro."
"How about trying any expertise you may have in your arsenal and giving all the possible points you can gauge from the target?" No.1 suggested.
"Whatever for you, bro, consider it done." No.10 replied earnestly, and he then tapped on his AI button and said, "Activate the Raining mode!"
In the following mont, the advanced weapons began to transform as the muzzle retracted, transforming it into a new type of powerful long-range weapon. The only difference this ti was that he could fire it non-stop, though its accuracy would really decline.
This ans that the previous version of his weapon was one he used all the ti to assassinate his targets and the current version was the one he seldom used, which he was preparing to use only when he was cornered behind the enemy's line or when simply gunning down nurous armies.
He then continued shooting at Bobby, running down bullets until the round of the magazine was all out, changed to a new one, and continued firing at him.
In this instance, Bobby found it a bit challenging at first, but eventually, dodging the bullets beca as natural to him as walking.
anwhile, No.10 continued reporting all the data he deducted for Bobby's ability, both pros and cons; especially pros because he couldn't find anything weakness about Bobby until now as when he considered that he discovered a weakness, his moves were so faint that his conclusion regarding Bobby was that 'He is a freaking sneaky bastard.'
Suddenly he saw Bobby standing still, and he deducted, looking at his mouth's movents. "Eh! What's he planning to do now?... Hmm, now he's standing still, not moving a muscle. And he seed to say sothing….um... He's counting down numbers 5,4,3,2,1"
After watching Bobby say '1', he watched him grinning at him, and, then, at the sa ti, he noticed that the surroundings suddenly grew dimr, he blinked unconsciously, and the next thing he spotted was that Bobby had vanished, then he continued to look around and even looked at his signature but could not find him.
"I lost him, bro!"
"What did you an you lost him?"
"Hey, don't bla ? It's the fucking cloud, okay, I just get distracted for the fraction of a second and he was like a puff. Gone…. Wait a minute?!" No.10 responded and suddenly he exclaid after realizing sothing. "Brother, I'm afraid we're in trouble right now. The brat has freakish intelligence and is freakishly smart. And I think he's running in my direction at this mont," he said, warning him.
"Trouble!? What the fuck are you talking about? Are you out of your fucking mind?" No.1 scolded him through the line.
"Last but not least, he grinned at just before he vanished, and a chill ran down my spine. It was like he was the one who had been playing with all this ti. I can guarantee you he knows my location, and I'm pretty sure he knows yours as well." "This brat is very smart. I think the overshadowing from the cloud did not seem random; it was as if he had figured everything outright from the very start, from the clouds' movent to the direction of the sunlight to even the terrain of the woods. I've been played, bro. A big ti.... This might sound a bit absurd coming from and but I suggest you honestly; give or take, I considered it prudent for you to confront the boy with extre caution and to go all out when you confront him later on." No.10 explained in a nutshell, warning him. "And now he's currently on his way to ."
"Alright, then I'm coming to you. Stay alert!" Then No.1 spoke finally, finally showing his new side, which was only known by No.10. "No.10 I have a confession to make. It would be best if you ran away from as fast as you could if you were to survive this. If you survived, I'm coming after you to take your head."
"Yeah, I know. I ca here partly knowing that I might die in your hands. Even if I had the ability, I could not escape your hunt, and it is pretty unlikely that I could kill you, I guess. But believe , it'll not be an easy task for you to take down."
"You knew?"
"Bro, nothing can't escape from my eyes. Have you forgotten who used to read all your thoughts when we were just boys? To , it took just a glance from to know your intention… In addition, the fact that Master's favorite No.3 is missing, presumably dead, and above all else, today, you were explicitly told to remain after our eting. That's my last clue that its ti, so you do what you do best. Listen, brother, did you still rember what I said to you after our first mission together; it's inevitable and one day, it certainly will be ti for us to kill each other. When the ti cos, don't even a tad hesitate to kill , and I'll do the sa."
"But why are you telling all this?" asked No.1.
No.10, the sharp-shooter responded truthfully, and he asked. "The sa goes for you. Wouldn't it be fair if I didn't tell you my intention since you were the first to share it? Moreover, do you comprehend the hidden purpose that motivated our master to tag along with you, even though you alone were needed to take out the target?" Before N0.1 could reply, he answered his own question. "Master knew that no matter how cold and calculating you may appear to be, and whatever skills you may possess, there is sothing deep inside which is holding you back from becoming the perfect assassin master wished to have, and that sothing is actually your love for brotherhood which is . So, this's his last test for you. He'll spare you if you co back killing , otherwise, we're all going to die in his hands."
"Hmm!" No.1 made a long sighed and responded. "You are the wittiest and cunning one who, among all the batches until now, that I have only witnessed."
"Hahaha…. You praise too much, brother. Even though I appreciate the complint, it always feels good to hear that from you," No.10 responded while laughing heartily. "Believe , brother, you are about to witness soone who can beat my wit today. Maybe I may die at his hands, which will turn out to be a blessing for us as we do not need to kill each other... still, I will do my utmost to survive as we always do. "
Suddenly, he heard sothing and said, slightly furrowing his brows. "He's here finally. Goodbye, brother."
He then stood up and said, "Co out, boy. I have been eagerly anticipating eting you. I know you're nearby. "
In the imdiate aftermath, a shadow jumped from one tree to another, until finally, a lanky youth wearing sunglasses appeared before him.
"So you're the one who's been playing with this whole ti?... I guess you already know about my good na, but it feels nice to introduce myself in this circumstance." "It was nice eting you. I'm Bobby Bradford. What's your na?"
