When she entered the room, she saw expensive furniture within the living room and a group of people sitting on the couch around the table. Cards were piled on the table with some of them staring at the cards in their own hands. Yet, the moment the door of the room opened, their attention was shifted to it and they saw Elizabeth and Rudy standing there.
"A newcomer?"
Suddenly, a voice fell on Elizabeth's ears and made her flinch in the next heartbeat. Meanwhile, Rudy sighed before he clapped his hands and a transparent barrier with him at the center expanded throughout the room in a few seconds.
A glowing humanoid purple could be seen in the previous spot where there was nothing. Seeing the unknown presence, Elizabeth backed away with wariness while the purple fig
"This is…"After introducing herself and being guided to her room, Elizabeth took a quick shower before someone knocked onto her door. When she opened it, she saw Kevin who stood with a box on his arms and he offered it to the confused Elizabeth out of nowhere."Something that you will need later."Her interest piqued, Elizabeth carried the box to the table and found that it was lighter than she had expected, despite its size. When Kevin gestured to her to open it, she grabbed a scissor and took a look at the inside without hesitating.When her hand touched something sort of fabric, she pulled it out and saw a black vest with four small pockets around the waist. With an ominous feeling emerging, E
Half an hour after following Erna's lead, both of them arrived at some sort of Italian restaurant within a building that was off limits, even for the esper. Yet, with Erma's influence, somehow they both managed to get inside and the sight within brings back the memory of when Elizabeth accompanied Ellie to some family's gathering in the past."Looks not bad right? The food won't be a disappointment, I assure you."With a smug smile on her face, Erna leaned her hand with her hand as she gazed at Elizabeth."How do you know this kind of place? Why are they only allowed to get here?" probed Elizabeth while she looked around. Observing the expensive decorations littered around the room, along with a bottle of champagne and bread that looked pricey and delicious no ma
When the sun was about to set on the horizon and a touch of blazing orange filled the boundless sky, Elizabeth wore the bulletproof vest given to her underneath her clothes and placed the stun gun on her waist. She wore jeans and a jacket despite the temperature wasn't even that cold. After she was done, a series of knocks sounded on her door and Elizabeth went to open it.As she had expected, it was Kevin who appeared. An apologetic smile formed on his face, he spoke out before Elizabeth could say anything, "I'm sorry for coming to you this late. Even though I promised to teach you how to use the stun gun yesterday, this morning and noon I was preoccupied with a lot of stuff, so…""It's alright," imagining how Kevin must've been busy with the preparation, Elizabeth smiled and said, "It's an important day and we have too
"So we should be waiting until at least midnight?"A dissatisfied voice sounded throughout the room and made Kevin twitch his ears for a second. The urge to sigh bubbled within before he suppressed it and turned to look at the familiar face that uttered the complaint."What else could we do? Besides, this ain't that bad if we talk about our time in the desert."After Kevin mentioned the word desert, his counterpart's face grimaced in the next second before another voice appeared."Everyone said that I'm the one who wants fancy stuff, but here you are complaining about waiting a little, Rudy.""I'm not complaining!" When his name was called out,
"Oohhh! I won!" A joyful cry echoed whilst a man with body armor rose from his seat and put up both of his hands high. His counterpart who sat across from him along with two others dressed just like him and sitting on both of his sides revealed either a wry smile, annoyed expression, and a heavy sigh. "Hey, the hell is this? You are cheating, aren't you?" The one who sat across him clicked his tongue and tried to retaliate at their newest winner of their little gambling game. Seeing through the attempt of his comrade, the man who stood snickered and retorted with exaggerated expression, "What's this? Someone couldn't take a loss? Ha!" "Like hell I'm gonna let you rob me in broad daylight! The only thin
"Shoot!"When that word echoed, incessant spitting flames ensued from all of the guns held by the soldiers. Yet, instead of seeing their enemy having countless holes on their body, a transparent blue barrier stood tall between the bombardment and their foe. Causing countless ripples all around the barrier without any signs for it to fall apart."E-Esper!""Bring out the DGs!""Keep shooting and make him stay on the spot!"Series of orders ensued to the soldiers as they kept sending hail of bullets to the lone wizard. Watching the commotion, the latter smiled while he felt a slight breeze pass by him. Silently, he guessed that his teammates had moved t
"Looks like Luhei, Cecile, and Rudy are already there to help the soldiers."Resting his gaze upon the tablet on the table, Kevin uttered with a calm tone to the person who sat across him. After she heard his words, the person nodded her head and asked, "Are they gonna be fine?""Absolutely," he replied immediately as he turned his head. A smile formed on his face, he continued, "Especially since the number of the enemies were much less than what we had anticipated. You will be safe, Elizabeth."Instead of showing a relieved expression, Elizabeth narrowed her eyes to the monitor and inquired, "How about the loss of the soldiers?""Hard to say, but it's roughly dozens, including the captains of their team," This time
Outside of the base.Bullets whistled in the air as multiple deafening eruptions echoed throughout the once tranquil night. Stench of iron drifted in the air and soldiers scattered around the place, taking cover with some of them having their guts spilled open, holes on part of their bodies, or even cuts and bruises when trying to cling to dear life.Dying screams filled the place while shout of orders curses flowed with no sign of stopping. Their marching opponents already hid themselves in good locations, bringing more challenge than the soldiers had expected. Even though more attention and reinforcements were directed to this battlefield, the pressure from their enemies was anything but becoming lighter. In fact, it was almost mind boggling as some of them realized how their comrades in arms were dying in droves just as fast
