Chapter 12: Test 1: “The Delivery” 2

Everyone looked at where the explosion had just happened, they couldn't see inside the smoke rising up there, since there was so much, but a few seconds had already passed, and nothing had happened.

"Hahaha! is that it? that's the power of a C ranker? I guess I was scared for nothing then!", said someone, another said, "I don't think he's dead yet, let's finish him off together, he must be on the brink of death!".

Saul only glanced at the place, smiled, and then turned around, still waiting for Chin, his teammates, to bring him the puppet he was supposed to deliver to the Robot.

The man that had just shot at Crow, turned toward the middle-aged woman, he straightened his back, and smiled while asking her, "So, you know how we agreed on that date if I managed to beat him, you still up for that?".

The middle-aged woman smiled shyly, and said, BOOM! her body was flung up high in the air, she then dropped to the ground, her face bashed in, unconscious. Her teeth flew everywhere, and blood didn't stop flowing from her nose and mouth.

The man couldn't believe what he had just seen, he then looked at the person standing in front of him, a tall handsome young man, wearing a black leather jacket, his right hand was clutched into a fist, and there was blood on it, though it wasn't his.

It was Crow, his face was normal, he hadn't suffered a scratch from that explosion, the only reason he took a few seconds to appear, was that he was standing in his place thinking to himself.

'Hah! I actually didn't feel it coming my way, damn, they are good, still, I was planning on taking some puppets nicely, without hurting anyone, but, well, they asked for it, didn't they?'.

His right foot dug itself into the ground, and he accelerated with top speed toward where the bomb had come from, he reached the two who had attacked him so fast and punched the woman with much strength.

Still, he didn't punch at full power, or else, she wouldn't just be dead, but her face would also be a gore of blood, Crow turned to look at the man who had fired at him, his expression had finally changed, from a cold one to a smiling one.

Not the smile of a happy person, more like the one Saul had shown everyone earlier, the smile of a crazy person. The man immediately raised his left hand this time, since his right one was burned, and if he tried using it another time, it would be burned completely.

But he couldn't move fast enough, as Crow had already grabbed his left arm, and bent it backward, a cracking sound could be heard, as his left arm was completely broken, the man fell to his knees, strenght had left his body, and he was screaming, while crying at the same time, from the amount of pain he was feeling.

"I don't like doing this, but you did just try to kill me, didn't you? that was a stupid idea! why would you think that that would work on me? a C ranker? I guess you still don't understand the difference, do you? well, let me remind you a bit!", said Crow, as he bent his second arm as well.

Crack, now, the man lost consciousness, he couldn't hold out after having two arms bent like they were nothing, "I guess that was too much for you, now, I think I heard another one say, 'let's finish him off!'".

Crow looked at the person that had said that, about a minute ago, the person was about to pee himself just from that one gaze, he quickly went to his knees, and screamed in terror, "I am sorry, I didn't mean it, please have mercy on me!".

Still, Crow didn't care about his pleas, he ran toward the guy, and arrived before him in three seconds, the guy didn't even have enough time to stand up, as for running away, it was now too late for that.

He looked up, only to see a fist arriving before him, in the next second, his vision turned dark, and he lost consciousness, his face was hurt just as bad, as the middle-aged woman that had used the silencing gas on Crow.

He then turned toward the rest, and asked, his voice loud enough, so everyone could hear, "Does anyone want a piece as well?", no one responded, instead, they turned away, they were already scared by him just from knowing the fact that he was a C ranker.

But, after this display of power, they couldn't even look him in the face, Crow touched the puppet inside his jacket, then looked at a particular shack, and headed there.

At the same time, inside his shack, Zafira had seen everything that had just happened, she couldn't stop her body from shivering, "Hah! and I thought that he was a little kid, Nah, he's close to being as bad as that criminal!".

As for Martin, he was thinking, 'Wow! what luck I have! just imagine if I was one of them now? I don't even want to think about that, still, he's not killing them, even the two that had tried to kill him, he bashed the woman's face, and broke the man's arms, but he didn't kill them!'.

'I guess you're wrong, Zafira, I think it was? he's not that bad, and to be honest, I would also be quite angry if others tried to kill me!'.

A little further from this shack, Saul had finally got his hands on the small puppet, that looked to be identical to the one Crow had got, of course, Saul didn't know about that.

Chin went back inside their shack. Saul looked at a shack that was close by, but didn't have a team, 'Well, let's try our luck, shall we?', thought the prisoner, as he made his way toward the empty shack.

He tried entering, but felt a strong force blocking him from doing so, 'Hah! I was right in my thinking, they don't let you inside shacks, without owners, if that was allowed, I wouldn't even have to steal other people's puppets, just this would be enough!'.

In that second, he heard the sound of a notification on his book, he immediately summoned the black book and took a look at the message sent for him, his face showed a smile, a happy smile.

The message he was just sent, had come from a viewer of this test, they had given him 1000 points, for his thinking, even though it ended up in vain, the viewer still enjoyed seeing him think outside of the box.

Before Saul could move from his place though, he heard the sound of approaching footsteps, immediately, he ducked down avoiding his head being slashed off with a sword.

He jumped away from the attacker, the puppet in his hands, his left foot then touched the ground, as he landed from the jump, he turned around to see the identity of his attacker.

It was a beautiful woman in her twenties, Saul was also in his twenties, he was 25 years old, but had already been convicted for life, winning the Reader's Challenges was his only way out.

The woman was holding a long sword in her hands, her D ranker aura was strong, and she seemed to be one of the strongest D rankers here. From her stance, you would think she used to be a knight or something.

Saul looked at her, and smiled, as he thought to himself, 'Dammit! she's quite strong, taking care of her will prove a little difficult, still, that just makes me more excited for this!'.

Saul put his puppet beside the shack he had just tried to enter, but couldn't, he looked at her and waited for her to move. The woman started approaching him slowly, and carefully.

In another place, a little farther from here, Crow had searched for puppets inside everyone he had struck down, and he had only found one, 'Still, better than nothing, now, it is time for my main plan to earn a lot of puppets!'.
