"Stick with . It won't take long." I told Tes and sprinted the final few ters towards the two large boys.
Even though they were ten year olds, any kindness and llowness during a fight had been trained out of their system completely. They acted in unison with the clear purpose of quickly knocking out!
Too bad for them, I grew up around junkyards and was surrounded by gangs and other desperate scrappers which had no qualms sticking a knife on your back just to check what you have in your pocket.
I not only had my kindness beaten out of , I also had a streak of cold-bloodedness hamred into my soul.
The two of them unleashed vicious hooks at which I didn't even bother to dodge. I ate their attacks and quickly unleashed two jabs of my own.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
The two boys crumpled on the ground and remained there motionless.
They were still alive, of course, but the other six mbers of their group didn't know that. They looked at the two huge still bodies in front of in absolute horror.
I made use of the mont when they were stunned silly to leap to my left and close the distance with the left group.
BAM!
I quickly knocked out one of them with a cuff to his neck which caused the other two to begin screaming in fear!
BAM! BAM!
Their screams were cut short. Tes had burst into action and had very efficiently knocked the wind out of them by unleashing two powerful uppercuts into their stomachs.
"Good!" I praised her and turned around to face the remaining three boys.
Unfortunately for , they were already running away at full speed, weaving in and out of the forest of chas, and splitting into three directions.
"Damn it." I cursed lightly and began to sprint after them.
"Tes, get the one on the right! I'll handle the other two!" I shouted.
"Leave it to !" Tes yelled in reply.
It was a bother, but we managed to catch up with them and relieved them of their tokens.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
And with that, the first phase was officially over for us.
The tally?
Sixty five tokens crushed. Forty eight by , and a respectable seventeen by Tes.
We had taken out 6.5% of the kids in our group.
"We have ten more minutes. Let's pick our chas." Tes said as she looked around for a suitable cha for us. "What sort of cha do you want? A light cha with a flight system, a dium cha with a ranged weapon or a heavy cha with a heavy lee weapon?"
"Hmmmm. I don't really know what's the best combination. Maybe… A dium cha with a flight system? What do you think?" I asked Tes.
"A dium cha is heavy, and if you use a dium cha with a flight system, then you'll probably be really slow in the air, and that would make you an easy target for all the chas with ranged weapons." Tes explained.
"The chas used for the Grand lee are all practice chas, so you won't find a case where a unique combination such a heavy cha with flight system can work due to an overpowered flight system. If there's a heavy cha with a flight system here in this event, then it would be a heavy cha with a standard flight system which will make it almost useless."
"The best combinations are the ones I just ntioned. Light chas with flight system so you can fly high and fast, keeping you safe from the chas on the ground, or a dium cha with a ranged weapon so you can keep your distance and fire at your enemies, or a heavy cha with a lee weapon so you can quickly destroy your enemies. A heavy with a ranged weapon is a pretty solid choice as well."
I had never heard Tes speak so many words in one go before, and I really appreciated the fact that she did so to explain to so many critical things that I needed to know.
"Well, I don't really have a lot of close combat skills, so I think I need a lot of armor around to keep safe. My only option is a heavy cha. And at this point, I doubt we'll be able to find a heavy cha… They should have all been taken." I said with a frown.
"So what if they're taken?" Tes asked with a rare smile. "It doesn't make a difference for you."
I blinked once and instantly understood her unspoken words.
My mouth slowly curled into a smile as well.
"Well, well. Tes, you're much more aggressive than I thought." I said with a laugh. "Alright, in that case, let's get you a cha first. Which one do you want?"
"That heavy cha with the red rifle please." She said sweetly at .
"Heavy cha with the red rifle, coming right up!" I proclaid gallantly and strode towards it.
The cockpit lift was no longer hanging by the cha's leg, signifying that it was already occupied.
I calmly grabbed hold of the cha's leg, and slowly climbed up. Within a few quick seconds, I had reached the cockpit.
Knock! Knock!
I rapped on the cockpit.
"Bugger off! This cha is taken!" A little boy's muffled voice could be heard through the cockpit door.
"Open up right now, and I won't crush your token. You'll be able to go find a different cha. If I have to force this door open, I'll crush your token before throwing you out of this cha." I threatened him.
"Ha! You think I'm a fool? There's no way you can force open the cockpit door! Even if it's unlocked because the power is off, it's still WAY too heavy for-"
Creak.
I opened the cockpit door casually. I reached in, grabbed hold of his token, and imdiately crushed it.
"WHAT?! NOOOO!!!!" The little boy wailed in horror.
"Tes! Catch!" I called out as I grabbed him and dropped him from the cockpit.
"Ooof." Tes caught the wailing boy and promptly dropped him on the ground.
She quickly clambered up the cha and made herself comfortable in the cockpit.
"I'll find you once the event begins." I told her. "Stay alive till then."
She rolled her eyes at and made a shooing motion with her hand.
I leapt off her cha and quickly went off in search of another heavy cha.
"A lance." I finally decided. "I want a heavy cha with a lance!"
