Team Seven tried to make themselves at home even though the house that they to lived in for months looked haunted.
Just when they entered the wooden house. A loud creaking sound resounded. The inside didn't look as dark as they had expected. Thanks to the windows that let the sunlight in.
"Make yourself at home kids. Apparently, there is only one room in this house so you'll have to sleep with each other. Remember what I said. Teamwork, okay? Specifically, you two." Zetsu looked at Kidd and Kazuto with a knowing smile.
Kidd and Zetsu gulped when they saw this. They could only nod their heads obediently. What they could do? The power was in their team leader's hands. He was both the team leader and their instructor.
"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow." As Zetsu said his goodbye. He vanished into a thick white smoke.
Caleb's widened as he witnessed such a scene. 'Our team leader really has style. That's a ninja way to disappear. Ain't it?'
"Well, let's sort out our things as soon as possible. I think the room is somewhere ahead of us." Shu broke the silence that pervaded the atmosphere and hurriedly walked away.
Seeing this, Kazuto, Rozho, and the others quickly followed. Even Kidd and Kazuto didn't dare to provoke each other as they didn't want to stay in such a creepy place for a second.
...
Just like that, team seven found the room at the end in a straight line. It was worth mentioning that there are only a few furniture and wares inside which made the inside quite spacious. Table, chairs, and some kind of old paintings on the wooden walls.
After they entered the room. The five began to start their cleaning operation as the house was dusty and spiderwebs were fixed on the corner of the ceilings.
"I'll clean the ceilings," Caleb said.
"Then I'm on the ground."
"Walls..."
'So they hate each other's guts? That's it? Such a simple answer is what made it more believable.
Evening arrived. The sounds of owls and the silence of the night disturbed team seven who were resting in their room. The only source of light was the lamp in the ceiling.
"I won't get used to this kind of atmosphere. It's boring. What shall we do?"
"Well, we just need to preserve our mental strength so we will be in our optimal state tomorrow."
The members of team seven lay down and tried to find a comfortable position.
Rozho was still on the silent corner wiping the blades of his sword with his eyes closed. Caleb even began to wonder whether the other party was sleeping.
Caleb stared at the ceiling for a while. He knew that he would see the ceiling for months. Still, living with four strangers in the same room gave him an alien feeling. "Tomorrow is another day."
"Johan, are you sleeping already?"
"Nope. Why?" Caleb looked at Shu.
"Nothing. Do you think we would all pass?"
"I don't know. This is just my guess. But I think that the test would determine whether our bodies are prepared to consume whatever stuff the recipe would make."
Shu smiled. "That's a good guess." then Shu displayed an expression of wonder. "How is it outside? You guys must have faced a lot of survivors, right? How did you manage to escape?"
"In the Wall of Rose?? You bet. There are various Apokalips outside. They might be the same race but they are different creatures. Random characteristics and abilities. I don't actually fully know the Wall of Rose. We didn't explore it 100% since that would mean death. As for how did we escape... It's all luck I guess."
Hearing this, Shu nodded. "Luck is also a part of our skill."
