"So that's it?" A girl with a green mask said number two. "I guess it is. There is nothing we can do but go into the shadows." Number three retorted. "Redial, ma'am again we came up empty-handed, but we need funds."Number four spoke, "How about the tournament? We can get so much money for the faction." Number one fought for a second, "We can crush the competition if you fight number four." Redial spoke up, "But it's two-on-two matches meaning number four cannot fight alone, and it's for exclusively the fifth army."Number seven spoke, "Also, isn't it tomorrow?" Number one instantly responded, "I believe so." They walked off toward the company room as Redial went to her dark cramped office. She wasn't happy at all with the outcome of the masked man situation but it was out of her hands.Huro sat and sighed, "Why did I send Dante on a mission? I should have sent Ibrahim to get the job done fast." Ibrahim sighed before he spoke, "I told you but for the tournament, Seth and I are practi
A beeping came from Sylvia's pocket amidst their argument and Stas and Sylvia both looked at her pocket. She dipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out her phone. She pressed a button and the screen lit up, "It's a text from Dante, and it says I'm going hospital. I think that girl recked my organs and I'm getting weaker tell Huro I'm not going to make it." After she had finished reading Stas looked at her angrily."Tell that bastard, he will come-" Sylvia cut him off before he could continue. "Sadly, I will not." Stas looked even angrier as he looked at her, "Why not? Have you fallen for him?" Sylvia looked more annoyed than angry.”First I just asked you if you wanted to do something more "Fun" and second of I gave him the weakness." Stas finally calmed down and he breathed and chuckled, "Oh yeah I kinda forgot that you did that. So why don't you just give it back?" Sylvia looked at Stas dumbfounded. She wondered how could he forget all Dante had done. "First, he attacked you. S
"Come on, Stas let's go to my house." Stas thought for a minute whilst walking, "I have to ask my mum first." Stas then pulled out his phone and the screen lit up to show a red wallpaper with blue stripes. He unlocked his phone and started to dial some numbers. "Hello, mother." A woman from the other side responded."Hello, son. I was just about to call your phone. No one is at home yet so go to the park or do something for a couple of hours until your sister gets home." Stas would think about how he was he was going to phrase his question.He took a deep breath and asked, "Can I go to a friend's house for a few hours?" Stas's mum when silent before asking, "Boy or Girl?" Stas was shocked at this question and he regained composer, "Girl" His mum sighed."If it is ok with her then I see no issue with going. Have fun. Bye." The call disconnected as he slipped his phone into his pocket. "She said it is okay with her." Sylvia smiled as she started to walk past the row of houses. They walk
They entered the lobby. It was a red and wood-themed lobby. It looked like a very budgeted place. Sylvia and Stas walked toward the elevator and got in. It was smaller than a normal elevator. "So do you have any brothers or sisters?" Sylvia sighed and breathed out. "I have a brother and two sisters. They are all older. I'm the youngest."They walked out of the elevator and took a left. The duo walked through a doorway that separated the elevator and the residents. They strolled through the door and walked to an apartment that had the number 83 on the door. "Act respect, don't come across as a bad person." Sylvia knocked on the wooden and after a minute a woman came and opened the door. "Sylvia, how was sch-" She stopped mid-sentence to look at Stas and change her question. She started at him for a second, "Sweetie who's this?" Stas took in a deep breath before giving a response. "I am Stas Waygand and you are Sylvia's mother, I assume." Stas stuck out his hand for a handshake. "You
Stas sat down as Sylvia's sister and brothers just stared at him. It was like a moth to flame or deer in headlights. They just stared at him, "Why do you guys keep staring at me?" Sylvia's sister responded first, "Are you my little sister's boyfriend?" Stas immediately shot this down. "Are you strong?" The brother questioned after his sister.Stas thought to himself, "Why isn't Sylvia back yet?" Stas responded, "Yes I am. I'm the highest-ranking person in the year." The other sister spoke, "What if my sister is being bullied would you beat up the bully?"Stas took a deep breath before responding, "On the first day. Your sister stood up for me and the guy tried to attack her. I beat the guy up but he burnt off my face I managed to heal my face and wound the guy. So I would."The sister who asked this question was shocked. She was astonished. Sylvia walked into the room wearing white trousers and a black tight t-shirt with a red jacket.Sylvia's father and mother walked into the room an
Stas finished his food and Sylvia showed him to the kitchen where Sylvia's mum was doing the washing up. "Leave the plates here I'll wash them, Stas." Her mom smiled. Stas and Sylvia put down the plates and walked out. "So what's with the tight shirt?" Stas questioned in a whisper."I'm not going to tell you that!" Sylvia said a bit embarrassed. They walked into the living room where her dad just sat. "So Stas where are you from, Stas?" Her dad asked with vigor, "I'm from the Isle of Barrarike. My mother is from there and so was my dad."At this moment Sylvia's dad got up and punched Stas with all his might. It hurt but it wasn't that strong. "I see why you are one of the highest ranks in your year." Stas stood there completely unfazed. "You good?" Sylvia asked Stas put a thumbs up. At this moment Stas's phone started to ring. He pulled the phone out of his pocket. He answered the phone. "Hello... Gracie just got home... Ok... Bye." He hung up the phone and looked at Sylvia, "I've go
The bus started to drive but he did not sit. His stop was next and the bus pulled over and the doors swung open. He stepped off the bus. It started to rain. He ran over to the estate as it came down but he got inside fast enough. He walked up some stairs. He reached the third floor and turned right. He walked over to the 5th door on his left which was labeled 23. He knocked on the wooden door and eventually a girl with the same complexity of skin opened it and she spoke. "Sorry I wasn't home early. I made food." Stas returned his answer immediately."I already ate." Gracie stopped as she turned her back, "Ok then." She walked into the living room and sat on her phone. He walked to his room and trained for the rest of the night and slept until tomorrow. He woke up and got ready. He ate cereal before heading out. He walked out to the bus stop and waited for five minutes.The bus arrived. It was the 25. It was going to be the same destination as always. He boarded the bus and after a sto
Dante walked in and sat down, "Gear up Dante, we are heading out to the mainland." Dante kept sitting as everyone started to prepare but Dante kept seated. Ten minutes had passed and everyone was ready. Dante finally stood up and stood by the entrance. The rest of the company started to head out with Stas and Sylvia being last. Dante waited for them to leave before he left."Why did you wait for us to leave then you left?" Stas questioned and Dante responded, "You guys know I'm not as strong as I use to be so I wouldn't drag the company by my slowness." They walked down the hallway and up the stairs to the main building where they met Voll. He seemed to wait for them, "Voll are you going to join us?"Voll laughed before he spoke, "No I am not but the Sword Sisters will and they are a bit behind so you need to go before them." Voll saw them out and they had gone. The company moved and Dante tried his best to keep up but he was slightly slower. Huro would slow down his walking speed whi
