Chương 17: Ch.17
Shidou and Emi didn't stop glaring at one another. They were waiting for one of them to make their first move, see who would flinch first. Shidou, already angry for his tail was the first to make a move. He jumped to Emi, his glowing eyes meeting Emi's, even with his small frame Emi could feel he was not a pushover, had to be at an A level from how his aura felt to her
"I asked you earlier or you stupid, why did you burn my tail shorty."
Emi didn't say anything, just let him stand there puffing his chest up.
"Ho, seems you don't like answering questions. Ok then," Shidou started cracking his knuckles thinking it would intimidate Emi. "Let's see how a little piglet stands up to a mighty beast."
'Did this punk call me piglet!' That triggered Emi badly. It was one of the main insults her former boss called when she was little every time she gobbled whatever food she could get her hands on when he wasn't around.
Emi pulled out the Sanzu Reveler, she fired a warning shot away from her and Shidou, the sound hurt Shidou's highly attuned ears, he didn't pay attention to Emi aiming the gun at his testicles next till he felt the barrel touch the tip of his area.
"Three things, 1. Never call me piglet again or I'll make a new Lynx skin rug from your hide for my room, 2. my name is Emi got that, 3. We're partners for the survival event in three days and I'm not failing cause you're a deadbeat student. You're gonna take this scroll and show up understand!"
"Hmph, and if refuse?"
Emi cocked the hammer on the gun, and Shidou could see she was not playing around.
"I found you this easily. What makes you think I won't again? Oh, and I have a very strong Makaizer too and you really don't want me to use him on you."
Shidou looked nervous now. He heard about a new student having a Makaizer that violently beat Mishna's Golem. He was confident he could beat Emi but a Makaizer was new territory for him and he didn't want to fight something he wasn't familiar with. He was a hot head but he wasn't stupid.
"Grrr, fine. I'll meet you in three days. Now, can you please take your gun off my balls please?"
Emi complied. She removed her weapon as he asked.
"Bye, you little pussycat." She said then stuck her tongue out to him before teleporting back to her room.
"YOU LITTLE!!!"
**********
Mishna sat in her room brushing her hair, the images of Emi attacking her and getting everyone's attention still bombarded her mind. It took a lot of restraint in her not to accidentally rip her hair out when brushing. She wanted revenge, but pairing Emi with Shidou wasn't enough she had to do more. Her pride was hurt and the embarrassment she suffered that sparring day still stung.
She stopped brushing, she reached into her makeup drawer, opening up a false bottom that hid a messenger crystal.
Messenger crystals were a common communication device to talk long distances to one another, they even displayed a projection of the person speaking as well. Mishna hid this one because it was special. It only communicated to one person on a magically encrypted length. The person she contacted when she got the Strayer to mess with Emi on her first day.
"Hear my name, my name is Legion for we are many." She said the secret phrase to activate it, the crystal glowed, and it displayed a hooded figure in a dark room to her.
"Well well if it isn't my favorite princess. What pleasure do we have today."
"Don't call me that we are not friends got it? Anyways, I need to make another purchase from you."
"I see. Well, what would you like this time?"
"I need a monster. Something more powerful than a Knight class. One who can't be hurt easily by a gun or high-level magic. And very nasty tempered too."
The hooded figure snickered. Mishna's request was interesting to him. She never asked for anything with that specific detail.
"Hmm, I'm very curious what do you want that for?"
"None of you're a damn business. Do you have something or not I haven't got all night." The figure laughed more, he loved doing business with her for that reason. Her bossy attitude and getting straight to the point.
"Well, it so happens I actually have something available. In fact, it's from a near-extinct species."
"What is it, hurry up!"
"It's a Berserker Jyuken. A Raven type at that." Mishna sat shocked. Berserker Jyukens were not an easy beast to capture. They were Jyukens who lost their sanity and gave into the beast side completely, were banished from the kingdom, and since they had no more reason and logic left in their minds just pure animal brutality they became monsters in their own right.
"How did you get a Berserker Raven? I thought the Alpha Blackwing Karasu killed them all?"
"That's what he thinks. He may be the Alpha for the ravens, crows, or any blackbird in his clan but we have our sources. This one we caught is particularly dangerous cause it's his predecessor, the former Alpha Dreadwing."
"You lie! Dreadwing was an S level Jyuken. In monster level terms, he would be an Emperor class. There's no way you could have caught that madbird." Mishna had a hard time believing it. Level ranks were different between humans and Jyukens to that of monsters and Makaizers but some ranks were similar in terms of strength and dominance like an S level adventurer being the same strength as an Emperor class monster or a B level being the same as a Knight class. It was hard for her to grasp that the figure had the former Alpha Blackwing in his inventory with Dreadwing being as powerful as he was.
"Well, we have him. He costed a fortune to capture. If you want him It will be 20 platinum coins."
"20 platinum coins!? I can't use that much my daddy will kill me."
"Final offer take it or leave it."
Mishna gritted her teeth hard. Her family had the coins to spare but using that much at once was like raising a flag saying 'I'm doing something illegal arrest me.' She didn't want to use her allowance, but the hunger to hurt Emi was strong, she wanted to satisfy her thirst for revenge badly. Any price at this point was worth it as long as Emi kneeled to her at last.
"Fine! I'll pay your price. But I want him in a prison cube till I'm ready to let him out. It needs to be as inconspicuous as possible for my school event."
"We can do that and I won't charge you for the cube since you've been a loyal client to us for years. Goodnight princess." The crystal stopped glowing, the call was over now.
Mishna threw her brush at her mirror shattering the class in rage. "Emi, I swear, this time I will get you. You trash!"
