《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 59: The Next Task

Advertisement

The second task was about to begin, after the IQ test, which was a brawl, without the usage of your Soul Emifer. "Dang, this will be tough," a boy said in the background. I wasn't kidding this time. I took notes of everything my enemies did, and I had a glimpse of their weaknesses. "Okay, are we ready? It's going to start in around two hours, we need a plan." I said. Kuiy responded first. "Let's stick together first, and we should fight if provoked, after this we are going to exhaust more of our energy in the 3rd task, or test." Lily and Jennifer agreed, so I decided too as well. "Okay, now listen carefully, I'm going to tell you their weaknesses." While I was explaining, Lily interrupted me. "Well, it'll be boring knowing their weaknesses, so I'm just going to go now." She then walked away. She was a confusing one, I thought. "That Untra is the only problem, and he's going to be a big hassle. Listen Kuiy, do me a favor. If I go out of control, knock me unconscious, before I can deal anything damaging." He nodded, and walked away. Jennifer seemed a bit confused, so I explained it to her once again.

The bell rang, which was home time. "Seems like it's time, lets go!" With that, we walked towards the school generator, and to the right side, where its vent is, we popped it open and entered the generator. It was the secret ground, the spot where we are going to have our fight. Tou spoke on the mic. "Hello, and welcome to these grounds, it's in a seperate dimension, I created myself with the help of a few friends. This is where we will perform the 2nd and 3rd task of the games. Hope you have fun! Here are the rules." Many people sighed, and Untra seemed to be ignoring her. "It'll be boring knowing the rules, let's have some fun, shall we?" He was eyeing towards me.

"Okay, here are the rules. In this battle, the usage of the Soul Emifer is not allowed, well nothing special is allowed either, such as the usage of ME and familiars. This is a pure hand to hand combat, and to ensure its fair it'll be team against team, rather than a battle royale. If anyone is knocked out, they won't participate in the third game, so these are interlinked to a degree. Any klling automatically disqualifies your entire team, and you'll be expelled, and we'll make sure your SE is stripped off you, it's been successful, an example is Johnny, he has two SE's . Anyhow, that's about it. Let's have a fair fight, and don't forget, cheating is allowed! But if you are caught, its a disqualification. The team's facing eachother will be decided by the first game, and here are the results!" She pointed to a jumbotron.

It was a bit random, but since Untra's group was the first, and there were an odd number of teams, his team was queued in the finals already, which made it a bit harder. There were four teams excluding Untra's. We are facing an all-girls team, which seemed easy enough. "Guy's please be careful, I don't want to lose any of you till the 3rd game." They all nodded, and we prepared.

We lined up in seperate arenas, which was surronded by large walls, to make escaping futile. On top of the walls, there were four people, watching us. "Cheating would be difficult, eh?" Kuiy said. I chuckled. They chimed a bell, which signalled that the battle started. The four of them seemed to not move at first. The basalt walls were towering over me, but to be safe, I punched the wall as hard as I could. It cracked. "Hey, do that again, and your disqualified." One of the guards said. Strict, I thought. While I was distracted, one of them attacked. They were agile, and quite athletic, however they weren't that strong, or so I thought.

One of them kicked me, and I hit the wall, creating a small crater in it. "Better stay awake, Johnny." she smirked. I didn't want to hurt a woman, but I guess I had no choice. I went for the charge, and when I was about to punch her, she dodged it, as I suspected, I grinned than poked right under her belly button, which made her flinch, and then I went in for the kill. I started tickling her. "Maria, you're weakness, is that you're extremely ticklish. Give up or I'll continue" I said, tickling her like a maniac. Lily was a bit surprised, and started backing up a bit. Maria started trying to say something. "S..S...s...t..op..." and she continued laughing. "I..I..I...g...ive....u..p!" she said, giggling. I stopped, and kicked her face onto the wall, and she fell unconscious. "Maria has fallen! Now the team has three people left." I wiped the sweat that was on my brow, and watched.

Since weapons weren't necessarily banned, Kuiy threw shurikens at one girl, fixating her on the wall. "I'm sorry." He jabbed one of her pressure points, making her fall unconscious. "Sianna has fallen! Two remain!" Lily was fighting desperately, yet Jennifer was on par with her enemy. In the end, after exchanging five blows, her enemy fell. "Lianna has fallen! One remains!" She seemed a bit pissed, and charged mindlessly. Lily grabbed her arm, and does a suplex, knocking her hard on the concrete floor. She too, fell unconscious. She wiped the dust off her hands.

"That was a bit too easy, well, on to the next stage!" Lily said, and she started climbing up the wall. I scoffed, and tried to tell her to stop, but it was too late. "Lily is disqualified!" the guard said. Mid climbing, she saw what she did. She then looked at us, and stuck out her tongue. "Oops, guess I'm out." She continued climbing up the wall, and told the guards she'll be going. They nodded. She was gone. "Man, absentminded as usual." The bell chimed again, which was for the next battle. They were a full house, ready. The moment the wall was lifted, one of them charged, and Kuiy easily disposed of him. "Patience my friend, patience." Kuiy said, jabbing him. "JunJi is out! three remain on both sides!" The others seemed a bit dissapointed. "JunJi, we told you so many times to wait." It was Triana who said that, the only female in there group. "Anyways, which one of you is the weakest?" Both Kuiy and I pointed at Jennifer, which seemed to anger her. She quickly walked up to Triana, and gave her a good punch to the stomach, rendering her unconscious. "Triana is out! two remain!" With that, the one who seemed to be in charge, Onyx, moved.

He grabbed Jennifer, and twisted her arm. "I'm a dirty player, but I don't break rules." He said, smirking. He then kicked her knee so hard, fracturing it. She was in alot of pain. "P..please stop." Tears rolled down her cheeks. The guards noticed her pleading, and counted it as a forfeit, so she was disqualified. "Tsk, I wanted to have more fun, Anyways.. le-" Before Onyx finished, Kuiy ran upto him in anger, and punched him hard, breaking the wall behind him. "Do not... dare, hurt my friends." Kuiy said, with his eyes ablaze. I never saw him like that. People change I guess.

While that happened, The other boy tried to make a break for it, but I quickly walked upto him and was about to punch him, but the bell chimed, opening the next section. "It's now the final round, with a time span of 5 minutes, three teams are left!" One of the guards spoke. Tou laughed, and spoke in the mic. "I forgot to mention the time limit, If the time happens before the teams are eliminated, the remaining people head on to the battle royale. Bye bye, have fun!" I could tell she was grinning. When Untra's side seem to get ready, I quickly finished off the last member. "Huoi has been eliminated, the team has been defeated! 4 minutes and 30 seconds remain!" With that, I decided to try and finish this quickly. Kuiy charged in before I could, but Untra didn't do anything, rather, he made himself a chair with the rubble and watched his teamates carry on.

Kuiy fought desperately, but before I could help him, he was taken down. "Kuiy has been eliminated! Only four minutes remain! What will happen? It seems quite One-Sided!" Tou commented. Untra seemed pleased. "Now now, Johnny, let's have fun, shall we. Let's wait this out, and battle out in the royal, so we can actually use our true powers, how about that? It'll be fun, won't it?" I thought for a while, and then decided to wait it out.

"What a boring coincidence! It seems like both teams are waiting for the battle royal. Let's just get it on with. Hey, hey guards, set up the next arena." They were a bit surprised at first, but then they nodded, and the unconscious people were put in hospitals, to rest up. The Battle Royal was being prepared. "Give us a hour, and then it'll start. Good luck Johnny, and Untra's group." I scoffed, and walked out, thinking of a plan.

"Before you go, listen to the rules very carefully. There are none, except for not killing. Although guards will be watching, cheating is totally allowed, I don't care, I just want something fun for the higherups, else they'll get angry at me. Have fun you guys!" Tou walked out. This was a turn of events. I prepared myself, and tried to regain the little stamina I exhausted.

An hour passed, and we were called again. The Battle Arena was quite big, which was meant for a few teams, not two. It was circular, and after about every 50 meters, there was another guard, totalling 6 guards, making it have a 300 meter circumfrence. It was quite big in my opinion. The both teams were on opposite corners. One of the guards chimed the bell, which started it. I was prepared for anything, I was ready to give it my all!
