Kapitel 64: A matter of principles
"Well well fancy seeing you in a place like this Iron guard, You seem well."
Boa replies with a smile, Ilara surprises Nia with a kick knocking her off Sinatra with the latter writhing from the surprise attack, Urch let's go of Dean and steps back as he notices Sai about to attack from behind him.
"Nice, saved me the trouble of having to hit you."
Sai says as he sits atop a tree branch.
"Who are you guys and why are you here??"
Han asks in frustration.
"Group F at your service, always ready to assist those in need."
Ilara announces with a smile.
"Oh please, don't make us sound like a superhero group, we only came here because we got an orb signal from this location."
Dan replies with a roll of his eyes.
"I know that, I'm just really excited."
Ilara says.
"Uh-huh."
Dan takes a look at Ilara before turning his attention back to Han.
"How dare you stand in the way of my divine judgement…. Who do you think you are, some kind of hero??"
Han asks with anger in his voice.
"We are no heroes but if I remember correctly all participants were advised not too attack an opponent to kill them yet that's what you were doing, we would have snuck out with the orb but your actions towards this team was completely out of bounds and we absolutely cannot allow someone dying in such a gruesome manner when we can do something about it so it's a matter of principles not an act of heroism."
Sai replies as he gets down from the tree branch he was sitting on, Han tightens his fist as anger welled up within him, Urch takes a hold of Han's shoulder and shakes his head to deter Han attacking with Han calming down soon after.
"Fine then, till we meet again Group F, I hope you'll be able to protect yourselves from my punishment."
Han says as he turns and walks away with Nia following behind and Urch taking hold of the orb and disappearing into the thick jungle.
"That was lucky, Thanks you guys, you really saved us back there."
Dean says as he gets back to his feet.
"You don't have to thank us, as I already said we did this as a result of our principles."
Sai replies as he helps Dean stand up straight.
"Anyways I still say thank you."
Dean says as he grabs a hold of Sai to steady himself.
"Are you hurt??"
Ilara asks as she attends to Sinatra who was having a hard time standing up.
"I've had worse I think I'll live."
Sinatra responds trying to make light the situation.
"You look terrible, how exactly did that guy beat you up like this."
Dan asks lowering the iron wall as Boa rested his back on the tree trunk he had destroyed.
"That guy is no ordinary Weaponmaster, he has something that I just can't explain but one thing is for certain if you meet with him in a fight so not let your guard down or let your emotions get the better of you else you risk getting killed at his hands seeing that he would be more than happy to kill variants if he was given an opportunity."
Dan shakes his head in amusement as he heard Boa's words.
"Are you saying the truth or you are saying it in a bid to protect your pride as you just got defeated in such an embarrassing fashion that you are using this scary story to regain some dignity."
Dan replies as he puts his arm out to help Boa get to his feet, Boa takes his hand and he manages to get up but staggers a hit before getting his stamina back.
"Now are you going to attack us or you're gonna leave."
Boa asks.
"There's no need for us to fight as you don't have an orb so there will be no need for a confrontation between us so we will leave you in good faith now."
Dan replies with an unconcerned look as he turns around and begins to walk away.
"Come on Sai, Ilara let's get going."
Sai and Ilara exchange goodbyes as they follow Dan, Boa stares intently at Dan walking away before calling out to him and getting him turn round.
"Be careful Dan, there could be other guys like that on the island take care."
"Of course."
Dan replies.
"Also let's spar once this test is over, I'd like to see how strong you've gotten."
"Tch, I'll think about that, anything else??"
"Nah, you may leave now."
Boa says with Dan turning to leave.
"You seem really injured, try and take it easy for a bit."
Dan says as he walks away with Boa nodding in agreement.
*************************
"Ahhhhhh, it's been two hours since we met with Boa and his party, I feel like we'll never find an orb at this pace, we should just give up and go back."
Sai laments as they sit at a clearing in the jungle with the size of the clearing being equal to that of a football field.
"Stop whining so much, we'll find an orb soon don't you worry about it."
Ilara remarks trying to keep team spirits high with Dan remaining silent as he pondered on his thoughts.
"Hey Dan, any idea where we could go next??"
Ilara asks jolting Dan from his thoughts.
"Huh."
Dan is caught off with the question and is left speechless.
"What are you thinking about??"
Ilara asks with interest.
"Oh nothing just analyzing the probability of us finding an orb at this rate, I mean the orbs could all be gone by now taken by other teams so yeah."
Dan replies.
Before Ilara can respond, their trackers come to life with a beep sound as an orb seems to be close by and heading in their direction.
"What is this, the orb seems to be moving."
Sai remarks.
"Moving rapidly."
Ilara added.
"most likely an opponent with a speedster on their team, get ready."
Dan says turning his attention to where the orb signal was strongest, not too long after an orb shoots out from the dense jungle and heads towards Dan at supersonic speed with Dan narrowly avoiding it from crashing into his heart.
