《Agalma》chapter 21
Advertisement
Taking us through the even lefter door the queen presented to us a brand new shooting range .This one was extremely large with thousands of target dummies. where did they get all these resources ,from all this expansion couldn't have been good for the environment.
"This faculty is brand new ,the kinks haven't all been tested but these dummies I'm quite positive even You'll have a tough time hitting, if you hit even one then consider that a accomplishment "
Where have we heard that before, didn't she hear the part when I said time stopped when I used my eye
"These babies move at 40000 mph as a starting point but can get way way faster "
"In what world could this be possible be practical in"
" well it's not practical we just wanted to test the limitations of our technology, but it serves a purpose now that you're here "
Well lucky for her I wanted to see how fast my eye could track
"Start it up "
The sounds of the machine winding up was strange ,it was loud as being on a moving plane just from the outside
Still too slow.. this was getting ridiculous did Janus forget to power cap this skill, maybe its because I was continuously training it, or maybe the other chosen had way more broken skillsets, that other guy did say he was immortal.
"just turn it to max"
"If you insist , fair warning the max speed of 100k mph is extremely dangerous if anything flies off you'll be skewered "
The risk we took for knowledge
"Gwen stand back preferably as far back as possible "
"Hell no did you forget someone has to stop you from bouncing into a wall from the recoil"
She was right but I didn't like putting her in harm's way just for my experiments
"Well at least you stand behind my chair so if anything happens you'll be un injured "
Thinking about what to say next I guess I had to do the same for the queen
"You too queen get behind the wheel chair, i wouldn't want to explain why you'd be missing a head"

" how romantic already but I need to see this, from what i saw earlier i have faith in your abilities"
With nothing left to say i signaled for her to start it
The buzzing sounded so loud I actually went deaf temporarily … Hope they could fix but I need to focus like last time let's start with controlled fire .looking at the target dummies they looked to moving as fast as cars on the highway, that being said still very hittable
Ting ting ting easy enough , let's go to auto mode tinggggg I hit all of the ones that I cared to shoot, I guess powers given directly by a God didn't follow this worlds logic that was a bonus that i needed .
Signaling her to stop she input some code bringing them to a halt
"Not a single miss no wonder Beatrice and Jennet stood no chance against you"
No idea what this lady was talking about did she miss the part where I got a piece of my skull ripped off and me sitting here in a wheelchair.
"You have to realize… I couldn't see a single thing even at 40000mph so what you managed to do is far beyond super human . At first i still had my doubts about following you two newly weds around but now It would be a disservice to not"
I added more fuel to the fire… Not that I could help it. and did she just say newlyweds we liked each other but I don't know if it was that much, let's see how gwen reacts .watching Gwen get up once there was no sign of instant death by target dummy ,she didn't even care, classic her.
"This is stupid, i give up " she said defeated
Has she been making me try to miss this whole time?, sucker .It must've been a stain on her honor but she'd have to live with it .Now about this queen lady
"Hey Gwen come over here for a second"
I was planning to ditch her the first corner we got to for the forest. There wasnt any chance that i wanted to discuss the blessed powers around her , i just got bad vibes from her. Leaning into Gwen's ear i told her my master plan.

whispering back she said" that could work but what about your medicine and checking up on you your merch. Knowing the queen she would have the forest packed with search teams on a bs mission leaving no stone unturned, i mean you see how persistent she is now. What's stopping you from telling her anyway you would finally get some respect around here"
respect was the last thing i wanted
"She would undoubtedly use it for something bad, her persistence is proof enough. any normal person would've just let us have our space but she thinks she deserves a answer, i see where Anathasia gets the crazy bitch from"
feeling a hand on my shoulder i hear "what are we talking about guys , maybe is it this guys eye"
"Were plotting on how to get away from you" i said annoyed
"that's not very nice, i said i was sorry for before .Don't tell me you're the type to hold a grudge"
i wasn't but when it comes to people siding with your death i was
"Farron it wouldn't hurt to just tell her"Gwen said
"Take me back to my room please " sighing she just started rolling me when we reached the first floor i saw someone could be of use, that's right the king .i needed to get his attention it was now or never
"HEY hey heyyyyy HEYY i know you hear me"
stopping then starting then stopping again he shook his head and walked over.
"What is it"
"Your wife has been following me around non stop, don't you feel something from her admiring another man, take her with you"
"HELL NO, if anything have fun hahahaa time to hit up the brothels. Thank you for your sacrifice Farron you'll go down as a legend" he said skipping around us
It was a broken family, i was doomed .Checking to see if my legs worked which they didn't we continued along to my room like nothing ever happened. When we reached the door i had another masterplan.
"hey look over there" both gwen and the queen looked, collateral damage but i had to accept it. Rushing into the door i blocked it with my body and wheelchair. I couldn't turn to put in the code so this was the best i could do.
"you're being childish at this point let us in"
At least they had the decency to not force the door open, if they did i would need a few more weeks of healing.
"NO i told you a thousand times"
Hearing "i don't have time for this" the door began opening slowly until both guest made there way inside ,Curse their metallic bodies. Fine i could not talk about it for a month till i got off of this planet .There was no point in being a ass to Gwen as well, i was better then that .rolling myself to the bed i dragged myself to it with pure upper body strength.
"Hey gwen do you want to cuddle up"
"after that stunt you just pulled?"
"suit yourself"
grabbing the cover and putting it over my head , i didn't want to see their faces at the moment.
"Don't be like that" i felt someone hop under the covers snuggle up with me, yay it was gwen
"can i join" i heard the queen say from afar
Turning my head to Gwen i said " have about 29 days of this and were free, we can ignore her for that amount of time"
"i know you don't like her but i was a bad person too once, and still am. How is she any different then me?"
i choose not to answer i could go into the longest of speeches and it wouldn't change anyone's mind.
All i needed to do was focus on my honing skills , too much romance was making me soft .After about 40minutes of just laying there thinking of ways i could use my new found super vision i felt myself waning into sleep.
I've felt this before this wasn't natural it had to be Janus .Anything was better then this
I allowed myself to be pulled into his world.
