Chapter 37

[Sorry if I'm late. Although it's good now and I'm resting on the bed, have backache but overall I'm fine. Working is really hard, especially if you don't even earn a lot.]

Lucky 37

"H-how!!??"

Young Master Chen yelled as his eyes widened in surprise as he witnessed the unbelievable scene. His eyeballs almost popped out of his head, he was so furious.

"How can this be? This is not possible, seriously. What the fuck is happening here!!? I even gave them an extravagant dinner last night just to increase the chances of winning!!"

He screamed holding his head and stared at Calix. The young man was fighting the people he hired and he could fight them head-on. The battle suit gave Calix enormous strength and speed. On top of that, he was trained in martial arts and knew how to counter their attacks. 

However, that was not the real problem. The real problem was that his enemies were acting clumsy like weak-ass girls!!! Some of them would stumble as they charged towards Calix, some of them started puking as if they ate bad food last night. No one even tried to cast their Spell because they would get hit by Calix before they could do it. In short, they are losing despite having the advantage of numbers!!

"This is shit!! I hired all of you, using my money, and this is how you will repay me?!"

Chen almost cried blood, he couldn't believe that the millions of dollars that he spent just to hire these 100+ Term Attribute users were wasted. They couldn't even cast their spells, instead, they would puke or act like flimsy weak-ass. 

"I thought you are professionals?! How can a mere guy that can't decipher his Term Attribute beat you all!!!????"

Young Master Chen was trembling in anger, he didn't spend his money just to see this shit. This was a ripoff! Instead of watching a battle, he was watching a circus and it was not funny nor entertaining at all. He wanted to cry, Young Master Chen lost the strength in his knees and kneeled. This was a nightmare that he hoped to wake up. 

His fists slowly turned white as he clenched them with great intensity. He couldn't accept this at all. 

"… It's okay, as long as I can capture Scarlett, everything will be alright."

He convinced himself and decided to erase the scene before him and change his attention to Scarlett instead. She was the main target of this plan. Even if Calix won, as long as he got Scarlett, then it was going to be his victory.

He focused his eyes on Scarlett and the two 2nd Advance Vindicators. He had a victory grin as he was confident that they would defeat Scarlett. Young Master Chen hired those two mainly for Scarlett, they were the antithesis of Scarlett's power.

…

"Scarlett Robinson, we heard a lot about you. The promising talent from the Robinson Clan, it's quite fascinating to learn that you are our target. I am Lok Rastisia, nice to meet you although we have to make you sleep for a while."

One of them said, his name is Lok, he is a retired soldier and decided to work under the private sector. Lok knew Scarlett Robinson because he worked under the General in the past, although it was a short one. Still, he was updated to any news about the border because he was a soldier. 

[Lok Rastisia]

[1.] [Groggy Term Attribute]

[2.] [Vertigo Enducement Term Attribute]

[Fuel: Have to ride a car on a bumpy road every day.]

[Backlash: His vision will rotate every hour if he don't ride a car on a bumpy road.]

Lok grinned and flexed his fingers like he was massaging something in the air. As for the other one, that man was quiet and didn't speak at all. He was licking a candy inside his mouth, he was absorbed by what he was doing. He just nodded and he didn't even say his name, Scarlett guessed that perhaps he was mute or it was related to his Term Attribute, maybe it's his fuel. 

Scarlett who was waiting for their attacks, narrowed her eyes. She still didn't know their powers so Scarlett decided to wait. She could sense that her enemies were enormously stronger, she concluded that they were 2nd Advanced just like Athena. The energies they released were suffocating and she knew that she was going to have a hard time. 

She started to play with the shallow water and used a simple memory to become angry, she cast her spell, and two fireballs materialized around her hands rotating. She planned not to go all out and waits how or what their powers are. This was the best plan she could do right now since she didn't know any of their powers. She didn't want an overpowered Spell to hit her, just like the stares of Medusa.

Scarlett dashed and threw the fireballs, the fireballs with the same size as the head of a person drifted and charged towards the two. However, none of them moved at all. Instead, the mute one opened his mouth and said-- 

"Lelolelolelelolelo!!!"

Like he was licking a candy as if he is a certain character from Jojo- ahem, never mind. The man said an incomprehensible word and repeated saying it.

"Lelolelolelolelo!"

[Kakyoin Popmouth]

[1.] [Tispy Term Attribute.]

[2.] [Element Wobbly Term Attributes.]

[Fuel: Have to say Lelo Lelo to activate the Spell while licking a candy.]

[Backlash: He is inspired by one of the Characters in Jojo's Bizarre Adven-. Anyway, he will become tired if he don't eat candy.]

A unique shockwave hit the fireballs and they started to slow down and moved wobbly instead. They didn't hit the targets and plummeted to the ground, the fireballs vanished after a few seconds.

'I see, so his Term needs a speech activation and it makes my attacks go slow and unsteady.'

Scarlett deduced. However…

"Young Miss, don't forget that I am here!!"

Lok appeared behind her and raised his arm, Scarlett was surprised and realized that Lok is a melee. She miscalculated and underestimated him. She got ready for the impact of his attack as she used her shoulder to defend. 

Baam!!

Scarlett rolled three meters away from him and she gasped for air. She felt like her shoulder was dislocated and it was aching like hell. 

"Young Miss, don't forget that we are 2nd Advanced, our body evolved just like our Term Attribute. Even if you are strong in an arm-to-arm battle, we are still going to win because our bodies are maximized to their potential. In short, we are superhumans and we don't have to activate our battle suit at all because our natural strengths are enough to defeat you."

Lok commented as he cracked his neck and got ready for the second round. 

Scarlett weakly stood as she swallowed the blood in her mouth. In just one attack, she suffered internal injuries. She understood that facing 2nd Advanced was not going to be easy at all.
