Human market.

Sparring.

Chapter 16.

Late in the evening, Koala strolled through the mansion. Thinking about what to do next and what to do with the news that has made noise all over the Gray City.

“If we hand it over to the authorities and allow the death of the Night mantle, it will alienate the bulk of the followers. Leaving it like that is not an option either. In that case, we will have to face the full might of Handrick. There will be a huge number of unnecessary victims. This is also not in our favor. So what should I do? Damn, the situation is a complete dead end."

The head, who stood near the door to Gabriela's room, knocked and went inside. I wanted to find out how things are progressing in training with Lale. The fox did not have time to visit him first, on this occasion. She just had something to say.

Knock Knock.

"May I come in?"

"Koala? Yes, of course, come in. I didn't expect you to come to me."

Cruz was surprised.

"I was walking here. I think let me come. I will find out how you are doing with training."

"I was just about to come to you about this. Head, she's a genius."

"Genius?" Koala asked.

"Yes. We did training today and she did it very well. Therefore, I decided to conduct an experiment. She summoned 10 of her best soldiers and bet against Lale. In the end, she defeated them all and disarmed them in 3 minutes. But the most important thing is that they all did not have time to attack, and the girl already knew the actions in advance and stopped trying before they started. As if he sees in advance what will happen next, just like you."

"Incredible."

What a twist. The koala looked shocked. He did not expect that he would meet such a talented person.

"I'm honestly amazed. Tell me, what contributed to this growth?"

"Anger and anger. Having learned about the news, about the Night mantle and our actions. The girl was furious with rage."

But, and that's true, Lale's motivation is nothing but hatred.

"Are you sure of that?"

"95 percent. Tomorrow, we have sparring with her. And most likely, she will overcome me and then I can give you all 100."

"That's the news, of course. Is it okay if I attend your battle and watch it myself?"

“This is almost impossible. There is only one explanation for this. You need to make sure for yourself. But if Gabriela's claims are correct, then I have an idea how we can kill Handrik and prevent unnecessary casualties."

This meeting prompted Koala to have one very interesting thought. And since the conversation was about Lale. Most likely, she will be a direct participant in it. But just, will the girl agree to help him and make her plans come true?

"Yes. Of course. Beginning at 12:00 in my gym. Be sure to come, we will be waiting for you."

“Hmm, it doesn't look like she’s at the same time as Ariela. Most likely, she is not aware of her tricks at all."

"Miss Cruz, pay more attention to your sister. And find out which side she is on? On ours or not."

All the same, Koala did it and hinted about the betrayal of Ariela. In this, he was right. Gabriela really didn't know. She was entirely on the side of the organization. All those actions took place behind her back.

"In terms of? Why do you think so? She couldn't do that."

"Or could it? Koala, I would not waste such words in vain. What the hell is going on?"

I didn't want to believe Miss Cruz's words about the head. But you can't help but believe it. She needed to check for herself and make sure whether Ariela really decided to betray the IPPI organization, or whether he was wrong.

"I dont know. But for now, there is still time to think better."

"Good. If so. I'll figure it out myself and get her back on the right track."

"Good. Thank you. I don't want to lose my precious people."

The girl melted with gratitude. She is very pleasant with this man.

“Lord. How cool he is."

After the conversation, Koala went to his room. He was going to draw up a new plan to attack the vassal, Fred Handrick, where Lale would be the key figure.

The next day.

"Let's take a break. I need to go somewhere. I have not for a long time."

"Good."

The teacher studied with him for about a couple of hours. When the time came closer to 12, he left him and went to the Gabriela hall. The head of the organization wanted to watch the duel between the fox and Lale.

"Let's get ready, we'll start in 10 minutes."

"Good."

Miss Cruz and her apprentice began to choose weapons for the battle. Lale took a pair of pistols, as they were the easiest for her to handle, while Gabriela used a submachine gun. All real and one careless movement can kill or seriously injure. Therefore, without proper preparation, you should not participate in such fights.

"We will have one more viewer. Koala will personally oversee our sparring."

"Leader?"

The girl did not expect him to come. She thought there would be no one. And it’s not very customary to fight in front of strangers. At least she thought so. Suddenly confused.

"What have you got here? Haven't you started without me yet?"

Stopped in with food and sat on a chair, as if watching a movie. I went to the cinema for the premiere. But it only looks like this at first glance.

"No, they were just going to."

"Oh well."

The koala's distance from the battle site is one hundred meters. Thus, it can also come under fire. True, this did not bother him much. The boy is not small already, he would be able to defend himself.

“And what did he want to see? Well, never mind. Its time to begin."

The girls stood up against each other and immediately went into battle. Lale was the first to fire. Shooting at running Gabriela. She, in turn, hid behind a stone. And from there she fired at her in response.

"Don't think it will be easy."

"I hadn't hoped."

Dodged Miss Cruz's flurry of attacks, Lale. And also closed behind a concrete wall. Both thought over their every step and the first was taken by a woman in a fox mask.

"I'm attacking."

She knew perfectly well about the strength of her rival. She herself was engaged in training. But only this her power of prediction is useless if she does not keep up with it.

“So I decided on the forehead. I see everything."

With great speed, Gabriela was running towards her. Lale couldn't hit it. Then she finished firing and threw the pistols up, while she went hand-to-hand. Only now, Miss Cruz was stronger and more experienced, so she knocked her down and sat on Lale. Announcing their victory. She put the machine gun to her forehead.

"That's all. No matter how capable you are. Your strength is nothing if the enemy is stronger and more experienced."

"I do not think so."

And the girl calculated everything. She threw her pistols up for a reason. Lale tied threads to them, which she grabbed before sparring. With the help of finger movements, she fired first at the enemy's weapon, thereby leaving her unprotected, and then wounded her in the arm before her barrels fell.

"All the same, the victory is mine. It was from the very moment when you lost your guard and decided that you won."

“Really a genius. I can't compare myself with her. And so I wanted to show that ordinary people are able to compete with the special."

She could have shot her at any time before that, but she was waiting for a more epic one. I wanted to show off.

"You win. You are a huge smart girl. But that's all. I have outlived myself. I have nothing else to teach you."

"Wait. Do not. I want to study with you. If I knew, then I lost you and that's it."

Gabriela slapped Lale in the face. Because of the fact that she decided to hint about pity. The most offensive thing is not a loss, but when you are simply given victory in your hands.

"Do not dare. In a real fight, your pity can cost your life. So, don't you dare even think about pity for others."

"I realized. I apologize." She blurted out without thinking.

After the duel, they paid tribute to each other. And the head came up to them. He was impressed by the abilities of the girl, who was engaged in only the second week.

"Well well. What a sight. You are a big smart lady. That was incredible."

"Thank you."

"Without a doubt. She's a genius. Only one thing you were wrong, Gabriela. The girl is much better than me."

He did not postpone the request and went straight to the main one. Koala spoke about his plan and about the postponement of the date. And then, politely asked for help.

"I really need your help. You are the only one who can get out. If suddenly something goes wrong."

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

"I want you to pretend to be a Night mantle and surrender to the authorities before the operation begins."

"What?"

Then the head told. How exactly is he going to crank up this operation?

When the girl is captured, she will first be taken to a public prison and kept there for exactly 2 days. During this time, they will have time to return her from the prison and kill the vassal. Fred Handrick's security would be drastically reduced and few casualties could be dispensed with.

But there is a small chance that they will not be able to win and they will all be caught. Then, Lale will be expected to be executed on the third day. Of course, only if she doesn't save herself.

"Okay, I agree. I will help you with this plan."

"I will speak right away. I cannot guarantee your safety. You can die."

"Do not worry. I can survive. After all, I still have to defend Fel."

Lale made concessions and agreed to take part in this crazy plan.

Fel, meanwhile, still could not master meditation, and the second week came to an end. And there was little time left.

"And so, this is your last attempt. Here, you will either die or become stronger. Welcome to the Labyrinth of Despair."

Koala, led him to the most dangerous and terrible place in the organization. There was not a drop of light. And the labyrinth itself is full of powerful monsters.

"Here you have 2 self-defense pistols."

"Ha, it's scary how. But…. I will pass it and become stronger. I will not die."

“I hope so, boy. I really need your strength."
