Chapter 3: ...The Attack...
It was getting darker outside, Rose took a corner in the tent and sat on the ground thinking about the mess she got herself into
" Should I run away? I don't know if I can keep up with things here. being in a team is not what I expected, I preferred working alone. Ahh, what should I do?"
- BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Suddenly they heard a big explosion, so they went out in a hurry to check the situation, a lot of participants were outside without wearing a mask including three of her team.
- THE ONES WITHOUT A MASK, YOU ARE ELIMINATED.
Rose was still under shock from the sound of the explosion. If she wasn't wearing her cover all along she would come out without it due to the horrific sound of the explosion.
- Was...Was that ....another test?
- You finally talked, so you are not deaf. Replied Roy.
Rose realized her mistake and stopped talking right away.
- You got lucky again little boy, you are still in.
" He hasn't found out about me yet, maybe it's because of the cover my voice changes slightly, I already spoke, I can't remain silent but I will just talk if it's necessary"
- Yeah, I think so.
- The Prince is very clever, before testing our fighting skills he is testing our mental strength. Half of the participants were already out without swinging a single sword. I'm really curious to find out the next tasks.
Rose node her head:
- It is harder than I thought.
- Your mind must be ready all the time, even if there are no fights, strength only doesn't make you a knight. Cleverness and Promptitude are the most important thing. You can reach the final, kid if you set up your mind.
" Yeah, he is right, I came here believing that my sword skills will be my privilege, but this is not the case. I must use my brain and stay alert, I can't lose this chance"
- THE REMAINING PARTICIPANTS, GET BACK TO YOUR TENTS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Rose got back to her corner, she took something out of her bag to eat.
- Hey, aren't you going to give us something to eat, we are a team after all. Said one of the men.
- Why should I give you my food.
The man walked towards her and snatched it from her hand.
- I must teach you some manners, kid. That's not how you answer those who are older than you.
Rose got angry.
- You are the one without manners.
She stood up immediately, pulled out her sword, and injured his hand.
- YOU BRAT, HOW DARE YOU, I WILL KILL YOU.
Roy interfered between them:
- Stop it, both of you. Remember that we are a team.
- It was his fault in the first place. How can you take someone else food without permission? I will cut off your hand next time if you do it again.
The man tried to attack Rose again, but Roy stopped him.
- Kid, get back to your place. John, come with me, I will treat your wound, it is not that deep.
Then he whispered in his ear " I don't advise you to piss him off again, he is stronger than he looks"
Rose sat again, she was really tired after the sudden events.
" I want to sleep a little bit, but what if something else happens, I can't open my eyes, I think it will be okay if I fall asleep for a moment...."
When she opened her eyes, a sword was on her neck.
