Earl was standing at the start of one of the rope bridges, with the unopened treasure list on in his hand.He had an impatient and eager look on his face as he couldn't help but get excited for the second game to start.Despite the hidden motives inputted by the prime general, the idea and nature of the second game did nothing but put a smile on his face, as well as fill him with anticipation.That coupled with the outburst of Annie snapping back at her dad, made Earl nothing short of happy. 'Annie finally stepped up to her dad, and he couldn't do shit, now that she's down her best and put a bet of her own, I'll make sure to win this damn thing for sure!!!' thought Earl as his grip on the treasure list tightened."THE SECOND GAME, TREASURE HUNT, IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!!!!!" yelled Mr Stevens, this jolted everyone into a starting pose.Some taking their marks like professional Olympic sprinters, Earl included, while others taking character specific stances.Such as Jake, who just leaned fo
Earl stood afar, seeing the treasure he was looking for right in front of him, "alright, just have to rush over there and grab it!!" said Earl.He then proceeded to hype himself up and limber up slightly as he prepared for the next action.As he planted his feet firmly, he immediately dashed out towards, the fountain, however, he noticed his body weight reduce, and time slow."third eye" said Earl as he swiftly shifted his face to the left, avoiding a sharp crystal shard flying past his face.'what the?!!!' thought Earl as he stepped backwards, before locking eyes with a face he recognised, bit hadn't seen all too often.'that's the girl that always follows crystal!!' thought Earl as he uttered "master's call", protruding his sword out of his left hand."I'll be taking that!!" said Suzuki with a stern expression as she locked eyes with the item atop the fountain.While she shifted her gaze up at the hazel eye of the beholder, Earl had unconsciously looked up at it as well.Using this
Earl stood in shock as he stared down the monster inches away from his face.'Damn it!!!' thought Earl as his movements seemed to grow even more sluggish.[Effects of poison has intensified][Speed will be reduced by 70%][You must receive medical treatment in the next 24 hours]The system messages he saw, had only made matters worse.The snarling noise of the wolf-lizard hybrid echoed through Earl's ears as he cursed at the girl he carried.'You just had to poison me huh?!!!' thought Earl as he managed to take a step back.Immediately after, the beast turned around using it's massive scaly tail and slammed Earl in the chest, sending him flying out at a tree.His body turned in the air, as he couldn't even prepare himself for impact, he could only manage to grit his teeth as his body slammed into the tree.Immediately shattering it, before slamming into another tree behind it, and flinging off to the side, leaving a huge indent on the tree, letting it fall over and crash into the floo
Earl and Suzuki sat silent in the cave, their backs faced one another, as each faced a different directions with different things on their minds.The cave in which they sat in was the same one Earl had spotted earlier, and despite its small entrance, it had a spacious inside, which was light up by a huge opening in the roof.After pitching the idea to the crying Suzuki, she threw a tantrum, and the two ended up arguing for about an hour, before Earl awkwardly carried Suzuki on his back into the cave.After dropping her, they argued for another 10 minutes, which resulted in their current positions.'The atmosphere's awkward now, I should say something' thought Earl. 'My leg seriously hurts, how much longer till this dumb exam is over?' thought Suzuki.Both still sat silent in the cave, till Earl got up from his seated position and turned over to the cave's entrance.Suzuki, who sat idly before, heard his footsteps and turned over, "Where are you going?" she asked."I'm going to go find
Suzuki was laying on the floor, looking up at the open ceiling keeping both her hands behind her head, lost in thought.'What's up with that guy?' Suzuki thought to herself as her hazel eyes flickered about.The 'guy' in question was of course Earl, ever since he left out to find his treasure, his actions, and departing words gave rise to various thoughts and contradictions in Suzuki's mind.'I mean, we've only been in this school a month, most friend cliques haven't even been completely settled in yet, but he seems to trust them,Even that dumb Ruby' thought Suzuki as she brought out a hand from behind her head, and bit on the nail of her thumb."Earl.... Earl..... Earl..... Hmmm" said Suzuki as she spat out the chewed fingernail.She then let out a sigh, and once again placed both hands behind her head. 'why am I even thinking of that guy anyway?' she thought to herself with pouted lips.Suddenly, she remembered how he gently massaged her leg, and applied each and every bit of cauti
Everyone stood in silence as they watched their teacher patiently waiting for the announcement."first off, I will explain how the scores are distributed" said Mr Stevens.With everyone's undivided attention on him, he then began speaking, "the maximum a team can score is 50 points for this second game""finding all four treasures is worth 20 points, 10 points for coming back in tact, that is, for coming back with your clothes mostly in tact.10 points if you return back on the bridge you left in, and an extra 10 points for everyone who participated in this exercise" said Mr Stevens.Like always, the students began talking amongst themselves as they heard what their teacher just said.Most were glad of the ten points for completing the exercise, but others were more worried about the other point distribution.With basic calculation, it was easy to know that, out of the four treasures, finding one equaled 5 points, meaning that having all four would amount to 20 points.This, along wit
Three men sat at a round table, each wearing a dark cloak, as the candles which sat at the middle of the round table lit up the room, thereby giving enough light for each man to be seen.Each man's face was shrouded in darkness, revealing only a slimmer of their chin and mouth."it's decided then" said one of the men, the one who sat on a chair bigger than all the others."we will kill the Prime general and seize this village, after all, he tried to push a branch family to run this capital" said another, this one having a small scar on the bottom of his chin."but when? How?" asked another, his own voice seeming a lot less mature than the rest, sounding like someone in his late twenties, as opposed to the other people, who had voices matching those in 50's and 60's."I heard that Horace's students were to arrive in two weeks time" said the man who sat on the long chair."you couldn't possibly mean-", "oh yes, I do mean. What better time is there to attack the prime general, than when
Earl crashed into the floor violently, still tumbling continuously before laying on his side, a few feet away from a beeping car, which had been hit by the flying debris.He clenched his throat, still coughing when he opened up one eye and looked up at where he had fallen from.In it's place was a massive hole, gaping by the side of the building, it was so huge, that it looked like several wrecking balls had smashed the same place at once, as even the floor could be found lying in the streets as debris.As Earl's violent coughs subsidized, he looked up at the building in shock, astonishment and terror of his own power, "d-did I do that?" he asked out loud as he knelt down in front of the building."Earl!!!" screamed Ruby as she rushed over to her friend, who quite literary just fell from the sky after an explosion.Hearing his name being called, he looked over at the approaching Ruby, the face of terror and shock remaining on his face."what happened?!!! Where did you go?!!!! Are you
