The Isekai Game

So Are We Accepted?

Hakim stood with Iku, Faith, and Chad watching Logan run back into the food court. His breath vanquished as he stumbled to their feet.

Leaned over his knees, Logan looked up at his two potential teammates, "Perfect"!

A giant gator was summoned out of the lake from under the bridge. The five looked over at the gator attacking other isekai players and NPCs. Foam ran from its mouth, mixing with blood from its victims.

"Not our problem," declared Logan.

"I'm pretty sure we need to escape lad," said Chad.

Having recognized the gator, Faith revealed it belonged to Hakken. Surely it wasn't bad. But how long did it take Hakken to summon that?

"Is Hakken a he or she?" asked Hakim.

"Seriously," added Logan awaiting the answer.

Displeased by their ignorance, Iku made clear they shouldn't bother assuming Hakken's gender. After all, it wasn't necessary to know what great of a person Hakken was.

After the question was denied, Logan found a nearby community car. It was a tiny thing available for players who knew how to drive to use. Being in Jeff's team, Logan had the perk to drive.

He packed everybody into the car. Faith sat in the front with him while everybody else crushed into the back seat. The doors were locked and the gator was feasting. Hakken could be seen running from his own summon.

"Hakken can't control the beast?" asked Chad.

Fath explained that Hakken is not the best summoner, but a pretty good spy. Logan pointed out that a summoner who can't control their summons is detrimental to the team. Perhaps if Hakken was a druid like Nana that chose to cosplay the beasts of the forests or some crap, it would be viable to the team.

In the meantime, Hakken could continue running from its creation.

Logan reversed out of the parking space and hit a building. His lovely passenger giggled at his driving. A scornful stare closed her mouth. Hitting the gas to go forward only crashed him into another building if it wasn't for hitting the brake.

The car jerked back a few times before speeding towards a crowd. Another series of jerks took the car forward into another building.

"Maybe Chad and Iku should take the wheel," suggested Faith.

"You can't just do everything you see Logan," laughed Iku while opening the door.

Logan sat center in the back with Faith on his right. Chad took the wheel a speeded of like a pro.

"Anybody up for golf?" asked Chad.

Faith hugged Logan's arm and confirmed that golf sounded great.

A little ball rested in the dirt. The little face on it watched Chad draw his club back in a firm motion.

Logan was pouring what little of a heart he had out, "I mean Jaivva is sorry for the trouble. She was new here and meant no harm. Y'all would love Vanessa. She is just weird. And she attacked me once".

"I don't think the problem is the team nor what happened," said Hakim, It's Andres".

Logan held up his hands, "He's an a*s".

Iku admittedly laughed all three of them were. Chad took a full swing, hitting the ball into the air. The ball screamed flying across the field. A giant screen appeared displaying the ball in mid-flight. It bounced on a faraway hill, missing the windmill by just a bit.

"b****y," said Chad, "So how are you so good at golf? Or is it just one of your many natural talents"?

Logan went in for a shot, answering, "Believe me, I always get dragged into sports by people. I remember somebody had to actually teach me golf though".

He paused to nod his head before the swing, "Pretty nice actually".

Confused by the revelation, Hakim pointed out that he rarely saw Logan get dragged into sports much less ever seen him play golf. His swing sent the ball crying into the windmill and into the hole. Logan cheered for himself. Everybody laughed at his energy.

Faith's light clapping came to an end, "So... What about me Logan"?

"You know you're not a trickster anymore Logan. We can use another utility role," said Hakim.

"Faith, you're really nice," he said clasping his hands, "But you're not really powerful".

"Duh, I'm utility," she answered, "Facts, back in middle school when you were a trickster, you were not as powerful as me now. But you still helped a lot of people become pros".

"Good point, which means you are capable of making it," added Hakim.

Her little red and black hearts rose with her smile.

Logan smirked, "I'll make you a deal. If Chad and Iku join, I will bring you onboard".

A golf club flung across Logan's head. Iku lectured him that she would never join a disgusting team like that nor would she allow herself to be used.

Chad began encouraging, "Come on man, nothing wrong with letting the little cutie on your team".

"We seriously can't afford more slacking members," shouted Logan while rubbing his head.

"We can train her though," added Hakim.

A car drove skidded through the grassy plains.

Chad scratched his chin, "Not to lie mate, but I need to think about this. Andres doesn't seem to flattered with his and that can be a big problem for all of us".

Logan's head was about to explode from the stress brought by Andres. Even worse, he brought Alicia and Hakken.

Slamming out the stopping vehicles, Andres continued his yelling. First Hakim attempted to be the voice of reason. He pointed out that Andres was already over the relationship given that he was already dating other women. Therefore, he needs to leave Iku alone. Though Alicia was yelling insisting he only had one girlfriend, Logan didn't care.

Just as Andres approached them, Logan stood in his face and pushed him away. The yelling from the girls grew quiet. He went to shove him back, but Logan moved punched his face.

"So that's how it is?" growled Andres.

The fire in his face scared everybody except his scrawny friend. Not a care was in Logan's little body.

He stretched his neck waiting for Andres to do something stupid, "Keep up the crap and get in my way".

Andres wasn't going to continue the charade. Instead, he got honest with Logan, "You know something Logan, That's fine. Be like that. But if you think I'm the one who's gonna kill this team, you got another thing coming. Your s**t, is gonna take us out before anything".

"Oh my s**t?" laughed Logan.

"Yeah, your s**t. The same reason you can't get on most teams. The same reason why our team is so small," added Andres.

"I choose quality over quantity. You want a bunch of dumb thots on your team that can't even kill a meth gator, fine. But I'm going for real players that want this life".

Andres chuckled walking back, "Okay bruh, we'll see. We'll see how we do June. But when bodies go down, just know. You turned them down".

Iku bit her lip, "Yeah, I'll think about it. But I should go".

The giant gator burst over the horizon of the golf field. Its drooling mouth scared nearly everybody. Andres remained in eye contact walking back to the car.

Iku was just as eager to leave.

"How's Lea?" asked Hakim.

Alicia fired twice.

Andres was dead and so was Hakim.

"Eh, shoot me too," said Logan, "I'm done for the day".

"Wait!" yelled Faith, "Can I join"?

Hakken asked the same question.

"I'll think about it," said Logan before being shot by Alicia.
