Chapter 127: Ronin (1)

"I would really like to see the whole thing with my own eyes, but I don't have the luxury of time in hand," the scowling guy said as his eyes left the doctor he killed twice before coming closer to Shin. 

He considered for a couple of seconds and opened his mouth. "Shin, was it? I have an offer for you. The offer is simple, I will free you while you will listen to me for an uncertain amount of time. The terms are non-negotiable. What do you say?"

Shin frowned and grunted to let him know that his mouth was blocked by duct tape. 

"Right," the scowling guy said and removed the tape from his mouth. 

Shin released a deep breath first and stared at the guy, still with the frown. 

"So you agree?" the guy asked again. "Tell me quickly, I have better things to do." 

"Do I have to abide by everything you say?" Shin asked, eyes glued to the guy.

"Pretty much everything is reasonable," the guy said, "If you don't want to stay here, I think you will like the company of these crazy fellows."

Shin grunted, and calculated. If he really stay here, and what that doctor told him twice were true he will get chances to flee but those will be orchestrated by them, to break his mind and make him a fine slave. But what this youth wants to form him seemed to be only better than being a slave. Well, he will not be treated like a dog, and would have some say, but all in all, it's far better. Moreover, Shin could get away from this dude as well, if given chances. It was really immoral to do that, but perhaps he could get in terms of some opportunities with better circumstances. 

The scowling fellow did not seem to have much time in his hand, shook his head at him. "It seems you like staying here," he said, "I wondered if that girl feels the same." 

"Fine," Shin said, gritting his teeth. "But I certainly want some in your offer. I can't just work for you for my lifetime. Give me a certain time or goal." 

"Oh ho," the youth in his early twenty whistled. "Look at you, do you really think you are in a position to negotiate terms with me?" 

Shin snorted, ignoring the uncertainty in his head. "Do you think, I will become a dog as that guy told me? Or do you think there is no one else who would come to save me other than you? Even if they did not come, I'll find a way to get out even if I have to kill everyone one of them. All I need to do was access my mana for a time. I'll fucking kill them all."

The scowling guy raised an eyebrow, and Shin was considering his acting, when a smile appeared on his opponent. 

"Alright, we will get to a middle ground then," the guy said still with a smile as if his words about the terms being non-negotiable was only a trick. "I will save you from here and until when we get to safety you will listen to my every reasonable command." 

"And?" 

"And I will owe one which may escalate to asking for your help or your parents'." 

Shin's eyes widened. "You know my parents?" 

"There are only a few people on earth who do not know you, after the tournament," the youth said, and got ready to unlock his cuffs, and paused again. "State that you agree to my terms three times at once, exclaiming the system as the eye." 

Shin raised an eyebrow. "I don't think the system has any access here," he said, and seeing no backing down from the guy, he uttered his agreement three times one after another. "I, Chainz, agree with . . ." he looked at him again, asking for the name.

"Ronin."

"Ronin to listen to his reasonable commands, till we got to safety Also, I promised to assist him in anything within my limits."

"Again." 

Shin did it for the third time, but no words of confirmation came from the system, but he seemed to feel something wrong as if he was restricted by something. "It actually worked?" Does that mean that the system works here and it was only the trial? Or it could just be the spirit of oath works here. Why was that? 

Even on earth, not everywhere the spirit of oath works. Only some selected place like their institute, the rings, the spirit of oath works to make an agreement between guardians so that they could come to terms and fight without any betrayal. Whatever it was, shin would not get a answer now.

"How do you know it will work?" he asked this Ronin.

"I have done some great things a few years ago," ronin said and finally got to unlock his cuffs as if that was enough of an explanation. 

Shin did not ask for more as he felt good after getting his freedom. No, there was something more.

"Can you loosen you the seal?" he asked. "We all be of better off if I can use my mana."

Ronin listened to him and ignored it to give a look at the dead guy on the floor. Without answering Shin, he got to strip off the suit.

Shin grunted. Was this guy still thinking I will betray him or I will boss him if I get hold of my mana? He wondered. Either way, it was not that far away. He will need to work for an hour or two to get his mana release. Still, it would have been better if he got the helping hand.

Shaking his head, Shin looked around the desk to find anything useful that could be used as a weapon. There was not really anything useful. All he could find were the syringe, meds, liquid drugs. Shaking his head. He actually broke one good leg of the metal desk. Even with his reinforced strength, it was difficult, which made him feel better. Even though it was blunt, it will be useful later.

"Let's go," Ronin said, now wearing the suit over his body.

Shin nodded and got out of partition to find, Feldan there, guarding, like a good foot soldier. The once arrogant guy finally seemed to have found some sanity and it appeared Ronin got on terms with Feldan before him. Either way, it won't be problematic if there was some agreement between the group.

Still, there was something else in this guy with pale eyes, a haggard expression. Was Feldan someone to become so docile after being saved by some unknown guy who actually asks for rewards in return?

"This way," Ronin said as the three of them crept away on his lead. "According to whatever info I got, this ship will dock in two days, so that means we have to keep ourselves free for that time."

'I don't think that will be easy, considering the collar," Shin paused and found no collar on Ronin. Really what was this guy? How the heck did he manage to free himself of that? On the contrary, Feldan was still with the collar. "How did you free yourself from the collar?" 

"I have my ways." 

"You won't mind using your ways on mine to free me, will you?" Shin asked almost in a pleading voice.

"I can, but it will take time," Ronin said, not looking back. "and time is not something we will get so easily here."

"Like it will take time to make a crack in my seal?" Shin snorted. If this ronin really seemed like the person he is, then why is he becoming so paranoid? Why did he still need to let them remember they would need him for those two. The collar was alright for now, but he could have broken the seal.

"Let's find a safe spot first," Ronin said and just then Shin's danger alarm rang.

His head turned and without considering anything he shot at Ronin lurching their body on the floor. At that very moment, an arrow flung away from where Ronin was standing before. It would have hit him right in the chest. Perhaps it will not kill him, but it would leave him weak if not immobilized. 

Shin lurched up protectively, the metal leg of the desk in his arm. Half a dozen fella appeared before their eyes at the very moment, each commanding their skills while the archer was still shooting with arrows. 

Ronin released a breath, and shot up. Without telling the two anything, he got in the middle of the dogs.

"What is this guy doing?" Shin was just about to curse himself when his eyes widened.

Blood sprayed in the air all over, tainting the floor, walls, as stary limbs, body parts, heads rolled on the floor, as the guy massacred the few as if he was currently vegetables. And he was doing all that with a small hand knife. His knife moved swiftly with masterful skill, and when it got in contact with anything, it cut like it was cutting a cake. 

This was really something else. Shin has never seen this kind of butchery. Even he did not know if Elior could achieve the same result. It was not just the skill, but how the knife was cutting whatever comes it's away, ignoring almost all kinds of difference. Even his condition of waves into fine blades will not be able to do it.

Seriously, who is this guy? 

Unfortunately, Shin did not have the time to ponder as he had crept after the archer behind the few.
