After getting defeated at the hands of Lan Xiao Su, I remained in my spot, like we were told before the paintball fight even began. Soon after Lan Xiao Su left the area to search for more opponents, I heard my earpiece cackle.
"Heh. Got eliminated, didn't ya?" Old Man Leng's old voice said.
"Huh? How did you know?" I asked.
"Well, yer stopped movin' all of a sudden, so I kinda figured," he replied. "These earpieces have trackin' on 'em, so I know where yer at anytime."
I rolled my eyes, even though he couldn't see them. "Yeah yeah...whatever. Hurry up and come pick me up."
"Don't worry, I'm on my way," he replied, before cutting the comms.
Not even a minute later, I heard a loud whirling noise coming from directly above me.
I looked up to see what it was, and-
"Holy shit...a helicopter?" I murmured in shock. Out of all the things that could've shown up, this was the most surprising.
Heya everyone. Cyclxne here.
The one week hiatus is at last over! Sorry you guys, I forgot to mention it in the afterword of the previous chapter...I did put it in the synopsis though, and if you were in the Discord, I posted an announcement as well.
I have class in a second, so I'll make this quick - Qing Yue vs Lan Xiao Su is the next battle. This one's a bit of a mystery as to who will come out on top. Lan Xiao Su received an awakening, but Qing Yue has an overpowered artifact....let me know who you think will win!
Anyway, that's all from me for now.
And as always, I'll see you guys in the next chapter~
