“Look out,” Rudo screamed the name of Trisha as he dived the alien that was about to smite her with its blade, removing focus from the one that was onto him. Now he had two of them facing him as Trisha laid on the ground because he had already been cut in her right leg therefore moving was very difficult.Rudo was onto the top of the alien that he had pushed to the ground and was releasing a series of blows on it even though it was pointless as they had hit those aliens with all they had yet there was no effect. While punching the alien hard, another stabbed him from the back causing him to cease the punch in pain.“Noooooo…” Stan showed up as he rushed the alien that had stabbed Rudo. Even Trisha the main reason why he chose to take on the task which Adoth had given him, he still did not want Rudo dead. Besides the system did not instruct him to save only Trisha, rather he was instructed to save the three of them meaning that if Rudo dies the task was not a success.Meanwhile the ali
Seeing how bad they were and his mission depends on saving the three of them, Stan said, “Ling, quick, we must get them to a hospital.”“No,” Rudo struggled to speak out even in his pain.“Save your strength, bro.” Ling said to him.But he wouldn’t listen as he knew that his time had come. “Leave me here. I can’t make it.”“We are not leaving you.” Ling Tingzhe and Stan Gibson disagreed strongly with him. Their focus was more on him because he was wounded in a more critical place than Trisha.“Thank you Gibson, I wanted you dead yet you are still here trying to save my life. I regret not giving you the chance for us to be friends and in my I wish we could be brothers.” Rudo said his last words as he drew his last breath.“No, no, no,” Ling cried as he shook the lifeless body of Rudo, focusing him to wake up. Aside from Rudo being his greatest competitor when it comes to speed, he was also a great friend and his death would so much affect him. He was not ready to lose him like that. “R
Stan Gibson and Ling Tingzhe were sitting beside the bed where Trisha Graham was lying, they had finished administering treatment to her wounds in the best way they could and she was now sleeping as they waited for her to wake up. They were quite confident that she would because she was now breathing in the normal way which anyone sleeping would.In the course of waiting for her to wake up, Adoth then chose to give Stan the reports of his last task which was also his first legal task, reasoning being that he had to fight against the things that he is to protect earth against. [XP gained.]As he heard the report from Adoth, he expected to hear more, yet none was coming so he had to ask questions to why but he could not do that in the presence of Ling since he was yet to know about the system, so he excused himself from the room, going down stairs where he would freely interact with Adoth with being interrupted by Ling due to curiosity of him speaking to himself.“Adoth, why am I not g
Running was no longer in the mind of Stan else he would have left even they arrived so his supposed movement was not going to be towards to running from them, therefore he decided to act by the command of Sullivan by maintaining his position close to Trisha as he waited to see what their next action would be even though the looks on their faces could already reveal a bit about their next action. “Bond him.” Sullivan said to Oscar. Just as Oscar was approaching Stan to carry out the instruction he was given, Ling Tingzhe came up in front of Stan and said to Sullivan. “Master, please, this is not necessary.”“Will you move aside?!” Sullivan scolded him because his standing in front of Stan caused Oscar to stop.“Ling, you know the consequences of what you are about to do.” Atkinson reminded him as the anger in their faces was waxed high due to what they were seeing and how Ling had turned out to be in favor of Stan instead of the mission which they had left the school for.Ling was st
It was noon when they arrived at the Elite academy again. Entering through the gate of the academy so many students were awaiting their arrival. They had already received Callum Jones earlier in the day when he returned with the corpse of Rudo Walid.Callum Jones had already told them the lie which they were forced to believe. So they all had conceived the same belief and were angrily waiting for Sullivan and the rest of the crew that were sent out to bring back Stan so they would deal with him for killing Rudo or causing his death as the case may be.Just as they were entering the vicinity of the school, a group dragged Stan from the custody of the Sulliva, without asking any question or even responding to their salutation. Aside from being angry at Stan, they were also mad at Sullivan for letting a kid under his watch pass away. And now they would have to answer to the parents of Rudo, explaining to them in proper detail how their son died. Which no parent would take likely. With w
Guzman was not expecting the knock to be from a student and most of all one who had just returned from outside the school premises with Sullivan Nathan. He asked immediately, “What are you doing here Tingzhe? Aren’t you supposed to be resting?” “I can’t rest, sir.” With that response, Guzman quickly concluded that it was because he had lost a friend and probably was seeing his spirit, so he said, “It’s okay, you will get over it in a matter of time.” Ling understood where he was driving with those words and it was totally off from what he was thinking, so he had to state his reason for coming to this office, which was also the reason why he couldn't find himself sleeping. “Actually sir, it is not what you think,” saying that he got Guzman’s attention as he continued. “I really need to see Trisha.” That request gave Guzman a shock as he didn’t expect that from him. “What for?” Guzman asked him, curious to know his reason. “Ummm,” he stuttered. “If seeing her will make you rest, th
Minute passed after Stan said those words, yet there was no response from Adoth and that made him feel very devastated that he saw himself as a failure once again. He was beginning to see himself from a different perspective after getting to know Adoth, the hope he lost was restored by Adoth but now all hopes were lost, and this time he did not only fail himself according to his view, he also saw it as though he failed the entire human race because a task was give given to him.Tears rolled down his cheek as he prepared his heart towards death as he knew that nothing could be done to stop the council from passing negative judgment upon him. He began to think of the afterlife and how he would get to his parents once again.[It is not over yet. Get some rest.] Adoth finally said something to him after he was far into his thoughts, waiting for the morning to come for them the council to do that which they had always longed for.Well, the response came late, it was at a very wrong time a
Few minutes into the hearing, after Sullivan Nathan and two others that went outside the school with him had finished speaking based on what they knew, claiming that Stan was the one that killed Rudo. The judges of the case, which included Preston Osborne, Guzman Ronald and one other leader in the academy had to put their heads together as they deliberated on what their judgment would be, there was a voice from the audience.“I have something to say.” The voice was loud and could be traced to a direction, so all eyes turned to the direction which the voice had come from so as to see who was about to disrupt the process.Lo, it was Trisha who had said those words, she stood to her feet so that they would all see her as she stepped forward while all eyes were still fixed on her.“What does she think she is doing?” Atkinson whispered to Sullivan. “Sir, is this allowed here?” Sullivan asked his superiors who were about to pass judgment before the interruption.“Trisha, aren’t you suppos
