《Cold Heart(Cancelled)》(V1)Chapter Nine: Forest Punishment, The First Bloodbath #4
Advertisement
Liam watched me play around with Autumn and Kaylee far in the shadows under a tree, never leaving his glare off my existence, Autumn and Kaylee didn't feel great around Liam at first but when Liam explained that I eliminated the only two members in his Group, they slowly became calm around him.
Since Liam said he'll become my disciple under the influence that he knows my true identity, I kept my attention on him at all times waiting to see if he'll make a single move that could possibly ruin my image.
But Liam was very silent the entire time, maybe he was silent because he knows that I might have to harm him if he exposed me? Or because he just understood my meaning and stayed quiet about the fact that I'm faking all my emotions.
After playing around freely, not caring that we might have been ambushed by enemies, we all took a seat and rested, recently cooked meat and water bottles were handed towards to us from Kaylee, Liam was given some pieces of meat and water over sympathy since they didn't really like the idea of keeping someone captive.
"Introduce yourself to us more, Liam. We want to know more about you" Kaylee said, smiling towards Liam.
"O-Ok, well I am Liam Flores, my powers are Black Fire Manipulation and I'm very happy that you're all giving me food and drinks" Liam nervously introduced.
"You're happy? Why do you feel happy we are giving you food?" Kaylee questioned.
"I'm happy because the group I was in before starved me and tortured me" Liam silently whimpered.
"Be glad Caden saved you" Autumn chirped.
"Autumn, this isn't the perfect time to brag about Caden" Kaylee snarled, immediately glaring at Autumn.
"Why not? Caden is the best saviour ever" Autumn snapped back.

"Only four weeks and the thirsty bitch is already treating someone like a God" Kaylee scowled, rolling her eyes.
"Calm down girls" I nervously laughed, throwing gestures around.
Continuing on the conversation, we learnt rumours about White Group and Orange Group were at a constant battle and if White Group wins against Orange, they planned on attacking Purple, our Group for unknown reasons.
Maybe it's that we already took over two territories, they probably caught onto from the system map where it revealed territories and what territories were taken over.
Knowing all this, we instantly found resources that could block off the orange territory from the recently Red Captured Territory and the beginning territory we started on, while we were finding these resources, standing on the edge of Orange Territory we heard distant endless battles, being heard in Orange Territory far away.
I searched through the Orange's Territory from my defending position, hearing the continuous battles come to a halt, two broken sticks were scattered around my feet, giving me an amazing idea as I started sharpening the edges of the two sticks, being interrupted by sounds of leaves crunching.
Glancing at where the sound came from, I saw nobody or anything behind the trees but something caught my attention in the corner of my eye, a whole group of six members sneakily charged our way, showing their killing intent.
"Enemies ahead!" I screamed, alarming my group's attention just in time screaming erupted from the enemy crowds.
Tremendous rocks decorated in fire skimmed past our line, detonating seconds afterwards, outlining the surrounded grass on fire that wasn't very far from me, I jolted backwards, trying to get away from danger when an orange iceberg soared right in front of my face, shredding my nose a fragile bit.
Blood spurted out from the tip of my nose as I twisted my head towards where the attacker was, he strutted twenty-one feet away from me in a fighting attitude, my feet plunged off the ground and charged at the attacker.

The attacker started to charge up another ice attack even though I was very close to him at this point of time, he shakily fired his iceberg in my direction, but my quick thinking got me dodging the iceberg.
When the attacker discovered me dodging it, fear immediately ran down his body, he twirled around, starting escaping from my chase, as I started kicking up the pace speed I eventually got behind him and clotheslined him from behind, puncturing one of my sticks into his chest.
Autumn unexpectedly zipped next to me, defending me from an attack, she then glimpsed at me before zapping away from existence, generating purple lightning from behind.
"Thanks for the save" I quietly said to thin air.
Proceeding on my attack, I located the two people who were firing the fired up rocks, it was two Black Rock Manipulators and one Yellow Fire Manipulator.
They didn't spot me sneaking up on them since I squatted in long, tall grass that can hide up a whole person, no matter who the size was.
I targeted one of the Rock Manipulators, throwing my stick and perfectly hitting them on the side of their head.
The Fire Manipulator User who caught this action went down, watched one of his friends lifelessly plunge onto the ground, panicking him on high levels.
Taking my opportunity, I ran at the clueless Fire Manipulator User, lunging myself on him, slashing through his tough skin until he became a pool of blood, after knowing this, I jumped at the Rock Manipulator, kicking him towards the tree, knocking him out unconsciously.
Looking at the non-movable bodies, I took a second to look at how the fight had been going while I was busy, as I looked around, watching the violent fights, seeing my win slowly win, my eyes and Autumn's eyes locked incredibly strongly.
She stood there frozen, not moving an inch, having widened eyes that never wanted to blink a millisecond, she just stared at me incessantly.
Just stood there trembling like an afraid, whimpering puppy, like she just created PTSD for herself.
Did I reveal too much of my capabilities?
Or did I accidentally reveal my true identity?

Not to worry though as I will tell you as to what I have edited in the authors notes, so be sure to pay attention to those when they appear as they may contain information required for continued understanding. Also, if you decide to drop this book then please leave a comment on the chapter you stopped on and tell me what made you stop.

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
