《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 19: A New Enemy Approaches
Advertisement
In the midst of me training with Hazen X, a strange phenomenon occured. As we were training, around the apartment, the barrier vanished. "Ehh? What happened ? Did Sensei .... d-" , "No, he did not, he probably jumped dimensions." I was confused for a moment, because this was the first time it happened, the first time I saw Sensei's power waver. I was not so sure about what happened, so I decided to stop the training for the time being and try to think about what happened. Most likely someone wanted to attack us, so he set up the barrier, than he found the person that wanted to attack us, then had to 'jump' to get him, thus the barrier fell. If this person was any smart, he would have had sent a colleague to take care of us, if he knew that the barrier was going to fall.
"Stay inside, I'll see who it is, you just keep Yagrik tucked in your soul, we will manage to do something about this. Sure, you have become much stronger, but I do not want to risk anything, so just stay here, will you?" Hazen asked, and I nodded. "Sure, but if it seems like something bad is going to happen to you, then I'll come and help. ". and so I decided to stay, training my ME in secret. Hazen then left my room, grabbed his phone, locked my door, and went outside. I had nothing else to do, so I decided to look out the window and watch. it was the afternoon., so I thought no one was going to come. "Huh, so thats why he brought his phone." and then he simply sat under the shade, and played, most likely Subway Surfers again.
After 5 hours, still no one came, and it was already evening. It seemed like nothing was going to happen so because of that , I decided to get some shuteye. About two more hours passed before I woke up, and Hazen was gone. "Huh? Where did Hazen go? He probably just went to get his phone charger, because he didn't bring it. Then my door opened, but thankfully, I locked it. The person who came out, I didn't see who it was, but I could tell the person was not Hazen. "Who are you?" I asked and the person said, "It's me, Hazen! Open the door." and I felt something was wrong. The person who peeked out looked like Hazen, and sounded like Hazen, so I decided it was Hazen and was about to open it , but then asked, "Hey, Hazen, why are you here?" I asked, and the person seemed a bit nervous. "Well, let me tell you something, Johnny......... RUN RIGHT NOW!" and he knocked the door opened. Then I saw the full picture, he was held gunshot by a woman. I was about to run when the girl said, "Run right now, and then poor little Hazen gets a big hole in his head," so I was stuck. "Hazen, what happened?" and she sighed, "Listen, I'm tired of this, just come with me quiet, and no one gets hurt, ok Johnny?" but I was still confused. "Who are you? How could you beat Hazen?" and she simply said, "Aye aye aye, he probably lost his memory, anyways, you better come quiet. To think that LesLout would have such a weak protector." and I wondered who this LesLout is. "Well, Trinity, you seem boring, I won't ask how you got his name, but , well, you are boring." and he simply broke free and attacked her head on.

I was confused in the midst of what happened. Aparently, from what I gathered, Hazen was simply acting that he was imprisoned, but in reality, she didn't overpower him. It didn't seem like he needed help at the moment, but because this was a different situation, I decided to help. "I'm going to sit this one out, Johnny~Boy, I would like to see how helpful your training was." and he went back to the side, this time, not on his phone. That means shes the real deal, yet he trusts me, with someone like her.
For now, all I know about her is that her name was Trinity, I knew nothing else, and I blame my memory loss for this. Well, I decided to attack her, by first of all making a clone, and this time, the clone was a almost perfect clone, with its own mind. That itself already took half of Yagrik's size. "Haha, too... PREDICTABLE!" and she whipped the clone to a side, ripping it to shreds. "Is this all, Hazen taught you? Aye Aye Aye, this is a big problem, you are to easy!" and she attacked me with a whip, but made of a chain. She was much harder then expected, because by the eye , she seems like someone who is defended, rather than someone who defends. I knew I couldn't beat her without thinking. I decided to analyse the situation carefully, just like Hazen told me.
Trinity Gabrios, a woman of around age 19, and is a single and virgin. She has a brother and would die protecting him, and because of that, she decided to join a main, by the name of Diablo, to protect his brother and by that she became a hybrid of human and reaper. This gave her unimaginable power, and also gave her the power of partial immortality. I got all this data simply by the way she acts, just like Hazen had taught me. "Now, Virgin woman Trinity, I know your tricks as well, so now, lets play, shall we, Trinity Gabrios, Tactician of Raizel D. Diablo." and with that she blushed, "Hey! Don't go around saying that! Now you, shall pay!" and she attacked, with a well coordinated attack, that I wasn't used to.
She first went for a thrust, and then when I dodged, she used her nimble self to attack me, and she got a direct hit. This, however, was all into my plan. "Although you are a good when it comes to making strategies, you are still not even smart enough, to begin to understand what I do." and with that I started my plan. Everytime she attacked me, each attack got more sluggish as she became angrier, as I kept on insulting her after each attack. I couldn't believe it myself that she was falling for such a petty tactic, and I thought she was good at making strategies.
Eventually she fell fully into my strategem and that was where I had gotten the win, or so I thought. She finally missed, and then the tables turned. She firstly tripped on one of my tripwire, and that sent me a signal . This was the flood signal, so I flooded the floor. Hazen casually jumped on top of the bookshelf, and then looked near to the night table, and freaked out. "My..my...my... MY CHARGER! YOU NEED TO BUY ME A NEW ONE RIGHT NOW JOHNNY!" I ignored him completely. After flooding it, I added the next two triggers. It then became harder for her to fight me, but since Yagrik was protecting my subconsciously, I didn't get wet, and that made it so my movement did not get sluggish, however Trinity's movement did. "Ahh, god Damnit! Ouch! There's even electricity flowing on this." and she jumped onto a table. I should've done this outside, I thought, because now I had to work overtime to get the money to repair the damage I could not fix. After that I had 5 traps in air,land, and water. When she jumped onto the table, she triggered the next trap.

That trap was a simple arrow trap, which would make her have to go to the other table, triggering another arrow trap. With that alls he had left was to hang around the walls, or try and stay submerged, but she couldn't do anything. This was because although the traps triggered arrows, these arrows also had an extremely thin string attached to it, and now she was stuck, and even if she was to be able to move, she wouldn't be able to jump, because I already had tripwire all around that table.
"I can't believe you fell for my traps. Well, since you had triggered them all, anyhows, I may as well tell you how I did it. While we were fighting, although I dodged all your hits due to Yagrik protecting me, I kept on sending insults at you, which made you angry, to my surprise, which made you move more sluggishly. Afterwards, you were to accidently trip, because I continued moving to the spot I desired, and with you already phlegmatic, you tripped on my wire, however if you were in normal condition, you would have dodged it. Since you activated a signal, I then flooded the water, and Hazen's charger was simply an asset, that I didn't calculate, as because it electrocuted the water, you had to jump onto the first table, which was set closer to the trap in the first place. Afterwards , you would activate the next trap and in turn go into the table with the true traps. Both tables were armed with arrows, and I knew you would dodge them. These arrows, however, were tipped with a coil of extremely thin and strong string, and once you were bondaged by the string, you were stuck in that place, allowing me to end you quickly. However, even if you manage to break the string, you would see there are a few more surprises for you." and she laughed.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! You really think I would fall for such a simple trick? This was all a mere trick for my grand scheme, which I had already calculated before the beginning of this battle. Sure, Im tied unto this wall, and I know most likely what you did next, but don't worry, dear Johnny, that speech you gave just bought me more time to give the killing blow. Have you yet to notice, that I didn't even activate my SE? I still have been holding back, because I never lost in a battle of tactics, and I never had to use my SE. In any case, I have had my SE activated since I was the age of 12. It was something simple really. It is a very simple Soul Emifer, yet it is extremely handy for someone like me, who specialises in tactics. I thought you would know that the basic rule of tactics was not to reveal your plan? Now I feel like the protaginist of some lousy cartoon. Anyhows, I'll just Bre.........ak out of these strings, and ...... there. Now, let me show you something, okay, Johnny?" and she vanished. I still couldn't believe I was tricked by someone like her, and that my string was broken by something as simple as that, and then it came to me. "Yo...u.... you.. are Trinity Gabrios, the one who got a PhD in every single subject takeable at the age of 13! You are a true genius! Yet stll, to be bested by you, especially when it comes to a game of knowledge, I feel like something is wrong, yes, very wrong!" and I went into insane mode, because I just couldn't believe what was occuring.
I then heard her voice all around me. "BWAHAHAHAHA! You really think, that you, could best me? Good luck, young padawan of SE and ME, but right now, at the state your in, you could never hope to beat me. Now, let's finish this, shall we?" and she instantly reappeared. But this time, there were atleast 10 of her. I thought whether it was clones or an illusion, and what she meant by my speech gave her time to prepare. The thing is I knew she was a veternan in stratagems and strategies. I just needed to lure her in with the speech making her think she had it in the bag, but she truly did, and now I felt like she was stuffing me into the bag, the same bag I tried to make her think I was giving her to. I felt dumb, really dumb. All 10 of her clones came at me and attacked. Yagrik got torn in half, and I knew that this time, it would be a direct hit. Then he came.
"God Damnit Johnny, I thought I trained you better than this! Guess not, well then, now you go ahead and watch, now it's my turn, she seems like a fun one." Hazen said, grabbing me by the shoulder and throwing me up the bookshelf. The first thing he did was change the waters form into steam, and it was gone, making everything fall, and then it was a bit even now. "There, thats exactly what I wanted to see. Johnny let me tell you something. You were not my true enemy, it was him, Hazen! Diablo sent me to kill Hazen, as he wanted the pleasure of killing you himself, so goodluck, Hazen!" and then, while she was talking, Hazen grabbed her by the shoulder and threw her outside. "Pay more attention, woman. You already wrecked our humble abode, now you must pay, dearly! Your life will not satisfy me. How about your brother's life, after I killed you!" and that made her even more angry. In the end, Hazen wanted this to happen, because now he could face Trinity at her full strength. "Yes! Yes! THIS IS GREAT! SURGE WITH MORE ANGER! BECOME STRONGER! YESSSSS!" and I just continued watching quietly, wondering about the outcome.
