20 minutes later…
It sucks. We just barely learned a few assassin skills, now we are being thrown into a situation where we need to fight each other.
Well, whatever. We can't do anything about it now.
"Time is up, kids. Your trial starts now. Whoever wins will be the team leader; may the best assassin win. Your 3 Day time limit starts now," Mr. Sato said.
The first one to make the move was Lio...
"Lio. Come on, man, it's been 10 minutes. How did you find me so fast?" Lyra asked.
"I saw you going east as we split up," Lio replied.
"Well, I can't get out of this one," Lyra said.
Lyra then threw several punches and kicks, but unfortunately missed all of them...
"So that's how it's going to be," Lio said in a mocking tone.
The battle between Lyra and Lio continued...
Further southwest...
Hello Aelira. I'm sorry for what I have to do.
"Come on, Aerin. Can you at least give me a fighting chance? We all know you are the most powerful in the team," Aelira said.
Ok. I'll have one arm behind my back at all times, but it probably won't change much.
"At least you will have given me a fighting chance," Aelira replied.
Aelira then threw punches and kicks while Aerin dodged them all...
Are you content with the amount of time you have lasted?
"Yes, just go ahead and finish this already," Aelira replied.
Aerin then moved behind Aelira and knocked her out and caught her as she fell...
Mr. Sato, I know you are watching. Please take Aelira home.
"Ok. Will do, Aerin," Mr. Sato replied as he appeared from seemingly nowhere.
Thank you, and don't worry, I'll sit back until one of the two of them wins.
"How can you sense them already?" Mr. Sato asked.
It's rather easy once you learn how to absorb Nature Aru and learn what Nature Aru truly is.
"This boy, this boy is a true prodigy. He even saw through my Concealment right after he had just learned how to use Concealment himself. Not to mention I haven't even taught him how to absorb Nature Aru nor what it truly is yet," Mr. Sato thought as he walked away.
"This boy will surpass me; he might even become the strongest assassin to have ever existed," Mr. Sato said.
Little did Mr. Sato know that Aerila was awake and heard what he had said...
"Is Aerin truly that special? I know he's amazing, but is he truly that powerful?" Aerila thought to herself.
In that instant, something changed in Aerila's heart. Was it admiration, was it respect, was it love?
Only time would tell...
