- A Little Earlier -
(Yu An Xue's Perspective)
The match has just begun. For a moment, I considered just staying exactly where I was, waiting for the others to come to me. But after some thought, I decided that would be too cowardly. And so, I ventured into the slums, my pulse rifle, Oculus, in hand.
All was going well, until I suddenly heard foosteps coming from directly in front of me. I narrowed my gaze and raised Oculus, aiming down sights, waiting for the stranger to turn the corner.
But when she did, it wasn't in a threatening way. Instead, she had both of her arms raised, as if expecting I would be here.
"Wait! Don't shoot!" she cried, and I hesitated, not pulling the trigger immediately.
"What...do you want...?" I asked sharply, keeping my tone quiet.
"Listen. I want to form an alliance with you," the girl - Xiang Peng - proposed.
Heya everyone. Cyclxne here.
The paintball fight continues, and one more contestant is eliminated. Who's left? Hm...Xuan Kai, Qing Yue, Feng Mian, Yu An Xue, Obsidia, Mei Gui, and Lan Xiao Su. Yu An Yan, Amane, and now Xiang Peng have been eliminated.
Who will be the winner? Most of you will say Xuan Kai, of course...but hint - sometimes, there are things worth more than victory in a mock battle.
Anyway, that's all from me for now.
And as always, I'll talk to you guys again in the next chapter~
