Chapter 19: Camping Game 2
The night's starting to get colder but the students are sweating like crazy. The test to pick the team they want to join is harder than they thought.
-Nin's part-
Nin, being the leader of Team 1, is being chased by half of the class and are all using their weapons and even at full force but...
Most of them are about to give up. 'Shit... she's out of our league!' Some of them are even level 5 disciple and even using their full Qi force, they still couldn't get to her.
Looking at them carefully, "There are 13 of you right now but I don't think that you guys are doing great either. How about a little training?" Nin is really into it.
With baffled expression, "What do you mean little training? We really want to be on your team considering you're the best choice." One of them asked and he's right. If you want to be the strongest, then join the strongest team.
Nin thought of a good idea, "Well, there are 13 of you here so..." Nin released Qi all over her hand and... "BLACK PETAL ART! PETAL TRAP!"
Four tall huge petals made of black Qi erected around all of them and surrounded them before they could even do a thing, they are not only imprisoned but the place is pitch-black as well restricting their eyesight.
"What is this?!"
"Shit! What are you doing?!"
Everyone panicked, some didn't. Others tried to escape but it was too late. Confused like insects trapped inside a plant, they felt fear and worry.
"Don't worry, I won't harm any of you even if you raised your arms just to be in my team. So, to continue the training, 13 of you here will fight until only 5 of you remain and please no killing blows or teacher would be really angry, how about that?" That's too cruel even for her.
"Are you for real?!"
"This isn't fair!"
"How about we fight you instead? You're overestimating yourself!"
Most of them complained but...
A team was formed, 5 students who are all level 4 disciples, known to be the weakest of the class, and who are all friends decided to join together. With the darkness, they couldn't really see a thing so this team's cooperation would really work out well or might mess around instead.
'So, the students with the slowest progress joined together to be in my team. Let's see if joining together would really help' Nin, impressed by their fighting spirit, is really looking forward to seeing how they could fight against the other students.
One finally break the silence, "How are we going to fight if we can't see a thi-"
Still talking, *BAAAAAAM* two other students attacked him at the same time.
Talking is a bad idea knowing that the only way to find the others in the dark is by the noise. They couldn't know or see anyone so they rely on their other senses.
The 8 students remaining are starting to fight each other.
'Knowing that the level 4 disciple students are the least of their problems, they are focusing to reduce the numbers of the level 5 students to at least 5 and then take down level 4 disciple students. Not bad.' She could see that they're trying to take down the loudmouth but-
While the level 5 disciples are trying to fight each other, "BLACK FIST ART, GRAPPLING ARMS!" Two of the level 4 disciples both held the arms of one of the level 5 disciples and... *BAAAAAM!* one of the level 4 disciples knocked him down.
Without making a sound *SWOOOOOSH!* Two of the level 4 disciples both used rope darts and caught one of the level 5 disciples while they are busy fighting each other and knocked him out as well.
...
The level 5 disciples' plan was a mess and because of the chaos going around and the place, being pitch-black, only 3 level 5 disciples are left and they are not even on the same side, tired trying to survive the battle while the other 5 are still in good condition through teamwork.
Long silence seems to be more deafening. The Petal Trap was about to be canceled. Nin decided to stop the battle before it could get any worse.
"I guess it's enough. I'll take level 4 disciples as my members." Nin has decided.
"Why?! Why stop the battle?"
"We can still take down the weaklings!"
They couldn't accept the outcome of the battle.
"Sure you can, but with your condition, there's no way you can win against us. If you want to try, then we'll have a go as well." Even the level 4 disciples' know that with their teamwork, they could take all of them down.
Trying to scare the others, "So? Want to continue?" Nin asked as she knows the possible outcome of the battle as well.
"Tsk..." They decided to stop knowing that if they lose here, there's a high possibility that they would be in Kiri's team who's scary as hell or Ai's team who's currently the weakest.
They left the area and decided to check the other team leaders.
...
-Sha's Part-
*GULP GULP* Students are trying to swim towards Sha but...
The students are having a hard time reaching her who's currently in the middle of the lake standing on top of the water. The lake is still possible to swim but the current is slightly strong and being swept away is still risky.
Worried, 'It's been a while now and no one has reached me yet... how is it hard to control Qi to walk on water? Seriously?' Asking to herself, she thinks that what she's doing is easy but even those who reached Master Rank are still having troubles mastering Water Walking.
There are only 5 on her area considering that most of the students chased Nin. Still, she couldn't accept these 5 people if they don't try harder... if she could only know, it's impossible for all of the students to do what she's doing.
'It really might take a while but I believe!' Of course, you should do that, Sha.
-Aki'ko's Part-
"..." Aki's resting on top of the tallest tree he found near their camp while the students who followed him are trying to climb on top, but there's a problem...
*SWOOOOOSH* The wind is strong that most of the students that are trying to climb are having a hard time reaching the top.
"WAAAAAAAAH!" Some of them fell but the death of falling is currently impossible for level 4 or higher level disciples due to their body being sturdier than normal people, still, it could hurt them and start once again at the bottom.
"..." Nobody knows what he's doing on top of the tree but he's just avoiding them.
"Get down, you punk!"
"What the hell is wrong with you?!"
After a couple of minutes, they finally left him alone.
-Kiri's Part-
Shouting endlessly looking for the other students, "Where, the hell, are they?!" Kiri's really mad after seeing that there's no one around.
Annoyed to Kiri's shouting, "Well, you said, they will suffer so what do you expect? And stop shouting! I'm sleeping!" Both Ai and Kiri don't have anyone wanting to get their pieces of cloth.
*SPIT* Then he sat on his butt, "Then what am I supposed to do here?" while looking around.
Thinking of an idea to send Kiri away, "Instead of waiting for them to join your team? How about just knock them out and give them those pieces of cloth? Works too right? I'm sure they'll be in delight when they see you as their leader when they wake up..." Giving the devil the best idea... the devil's eyes lit up.
"Oh, yeah! Thanks! I mean, who cares... Aheem..." Breaking his character, nobody knows if he really hates Ai or he just wanted to push him to get strong.
"Yeah, yeah. Just get the hell out of here." And Ai went back to sleep.
...
The night has passed and the sun is about to rise.
*SWOOOOSH SWOOOOSH* Finally, most of the students appeared with pieces of cloth, few of them don't and...
"Woooh... these guys are heavy." Kiri appeared as well carrying 5 people on his back, dropping them while swiping the sweat away.
*SLAP SLAP* Trying to wake those guys up, he sure did a good job. "Wake up, you morons!" Scared as hell, they don't want to wake up but they don't want to be beaten as well so they don't have a choice but to accept the reality.
*Yawns* Sleepy, "I can see that most of you have your own teams except these 5 here. You don't really have a choice but to be on Ai's team so can you guys wake him up? We're about to leave." Wai seems to have a good night sleep but unfortunately...
'What?! We're tired and we want to sleep!'
'Shit... I need to sleep soon...'
Everyone's looking at each other thinking that they really need to rest after all that training.
Looking angry, "No one's moving? Do I need to whip every single one of you?" As if they had a choice. It will take a few hours to get to the city of the Black Sting Clan.
...
Finally, they started to move out.
