“Isha ..” my eyes opened spontaneously because of the familiar voice I heard near my ear, I roamed my eyes and saw the person who was the reason why I was in this rotten school.
"Arthur ..." I said when I recognized the man standing in front of me
"Wait for me, I will get you out of that place." I just nodded, wiping the tears from my cheeks, "For now, please bare staying on that place, I will surely come and g-
Before he was even finishing his sentence, he fell in front of me, my eyes widened as I immediately attended to him, blood came out of his mouth, "I-I'm coming for you." He said still before finally losing his life
"N-no, n-no, Arthur, wake up, asshole!" I shouted out of desperation.
He was shot! Who the f**k shot him?
I roamed my eyes and saw a person standing, not so far away from where we are, I could not see his face because of the fog that enveloped him.
Slowly I lowered Arthur's body to the floor and stood up to go to the shooter.
“Why the f**k would you do that ?! Why would you kill my f- “I halt, I stiffened in my stance when I saw who was standing in front of me.
Her dead eyes looked straightly at my eyes, I almost thought that I was looking at the mirror.
She was holding a gun, she shot Arthur, my best friend.
But I do not understand.
Why?
Why am I holding a gun and shot my best friend
“Isha! Isha! ” I quickly got up from lying on the bed when I heard a series of knocks and calls to my name.
I got off the bed and opened the door, Avery opened up to me, she was wearing a blue off-shoulder dress and her hair was arranged on one side of her face, she was still wearing the thick mirror she was wearing on the first time, me meet.
"It's still early, why are you here?" I glanced at the clock across from my bed. It’s past six in the morning.
"Ohh, you're not dressed yet?" I eased my door open, an indication for him to go inside, he also immediately went in and sat on the bed, "Didn't Miss Laurine tell you that today is the first day of our training?"
Oh, shoot, of course. Now that our training has started, I don't realize the weather. I’ve been in this place for a week, and to this day I’m still not used to what my eyes see now.
From the areas inside the school, to the judgmental looks of the students when we walk into the main hall.
"I'll just fix it for a moment." I told him and went into the shower room, at the same time as I set the water temperature.
I can't forget the content of my dream, I mean, I would never ever do that, I wouldn't even raise a gun and point it to him, but in my dreams, it seems like I did that without any remorse, as if I was used to killing people.
After I took a bath, Avery and I got dressed immediately, I don't know where the training room is, because as she said, today is the first day of our proper training, and I don't know what will happen.
We caught up with Miss Laurine with another man who looked like he was older than her, he looked addicted to the way he looked. He had a cigarette in his left hand and looked drunk and looked as he stood in front of them.
“Are you the newcomer? I am Sir Rui, I am one of those who will teach you. ” He said as if he just didn't have it.
I couldn’t help but look at him from head to toe, he didn’t look like a teacher, as he introduced himself,
"I'm Letisha, just call me Isha." He just nodded, so we went inside and sat down.
"Because there is a new member of the group, I will repeat what you need to do, think and plan." Miss Laurine left and I did not know where she was going. "Olympian Cup is an annual game, which is participated by many schools."
He took a marker and wrote on the white board, "Since I already know your ziel, this is what it will look like."
There are circles in the middle and I think, represents each member of the group, because there are five of us, and the circle is six.
“Once you get into the game, you are not together as a group, last year the theme was witchcraft, so Tennecy was the venue of the game, but now I don't know, so you have to be ready for whatever the theme of the game will be today . ”
I just heard this game, it’s a survival game.
"Inside the game, points will be your money, this will be the basis of who will win this year, as I heard, they will add something new to the game, and that is," he took the ipad out of his bag and showed the a picture, "This is gemstone rings, each ring has corresponding points and amounts, I don't know the full details yet, but at least you have an idea."
He has too much information to release.
"You can exchange points with food, items, or even first aid kits, do whatever you want just make sure to bring as many points as you can without dying, and saving your group mates."
He returned his ipad and took the marker again, “You have two goals once the game has started, first is to stay vigilant and second is to search for your teammates, you have forty eight hours to survive inside, and clear the game . ”
He looked at us seriously, "There is this called Gu poison, used for ancient witchcraft in Chiene." I heard about that one, “All the poisonous insects and small animals will be put into a bowl, their own venom and poison will slowly kill one another, and another, until one remains, and that one remaining, will be the most poisonous. ”
That makes sense.
"And Olympian Cup is like that, if you can run, then run, but if you can't then fight, we will make sure to prepare you as much as we can." He walked over to us, "Now let's start your training."
---
"We will train everyday as a group, and as individuals, we don't know what the ziel of our opponents in the Cup will be." Jackson said while in front of us.
We were already in the training room, too wide for us, as if we were in the desert in the vast expanse of where we are now, with a small lake on the side, as if we were in the forest, computer programed battle arena.
"Isha, can you fight?" he suddenly asked me, "Can you do combat?"
"No." I answered, because I really can't, and I haven't learned to fight.
“What’s the range of your ziel?” Hillary asked
"I can feel the danger, fifteen to twenty meters away, and uh, I can town-down pain, I know that's useless." Because I can't use that in the game.
"No, we can enhance that goal, you have to help yourself to reach your full potential." He said, and I almost laughed at what I heard. "We will start the training with you."
I looked at him because of what he said. What?
"Cain, start." Cain nodded and start growing roots under my feet.
Instinctively, I jumped all the tree branches coming near me, "All you have to do is to defeat all of us, while doing your own training."
Is this man insane? How am I going to do that? They are killing me.
I ran while avoiding the branches constantly rushing at me, I can't do this anymore I just get tired, I stopped running and faced where the branches were coming out, I took the inserted small knife to the side of my pants.
I jumped up and cut the branches, but it just kept on the pipe and attacking me, “Fight me, Isha! You can't just run! ” I heard Cain shout, he was right there.
Damn it! These branches are inexhaustible!
Wait, these are tree branches, meaning he's just like the trees in town, I can stop him from growing.
I ran again but not to cut the branches, I ran to the lake, the branches followed me, when it was close to me I jumped so they fell into the lake and definitely got wet, and then I jumped to cut the very end of branches.
As I expected it broke down and didn’t grow right away.
Cain ran up to me, and high-fived, "That was fast, how did you do that?" he asked.
I shrug, "I just thought of doing it." I said and sat down on the side.
"That was awesome, Isha!" said Avery when I could get close to him. I didn’t answer because I felt tired.
I'm not used to fighting, my body isn't that strong, I'm also not used to training, I've never done this in my whole existence.
I can now res-
"Next, Luke." My gaze quickly landed on Jackson who spoke, did I hear correctly.
"Okay." Luke replied coolly and entered the battle area, I did nothing but just go back to the area.
"Begin."
