59 Faceless mercenary-2
"Don't worry about it, this battle is only a formality, there are few level 3 mages that would agree to a death match, we just have to wait until the time runs out"
In the sky's of Duan city, three figures could be observed floating in the airspace above the city. Two of them had faceless masks, and the last had a blue oval mask over his face.
"I understand, I'm just a bit nervous" Beside the faceless men, the man in the blue oval mask commented.
He had broken through to level 3 a few days ago and was celebrated by all his fellow disciples. His master even invited him to join his secret faction in the faceless mercenary company.
This was a big honor, all his fellow disciples dreamed of the chance to join their masters' secret faction, but their masters' rules didn't allow them to join until they were ready. Now he had been given the opportunity to join.
Why wouldn't he be nervous?
"It will be over soon, then you will officially be one of us" the aged faceless to side assured the new recruit. Findd new updates at novelhall.com
Any level 3 mage joining the company was to be accepted with open arms. It was a boost to their faction. They were of special status, the battle to the death was just a tradition, they knew how to bypass it.
"Hm?" However, while he was thinking of how this would be over soon, a figure slowly emerged from the city floor and soon....
The figure stood before them.
"Who are you?" One of the faceless men asked.
The person in front of them was a female with long luscious white hair and a red devil face mask over her face.
"I'm here for the test to join the faceless mercenary company" the lady spoke hoarsely. This person was, of course, none other than Arian.
"The test?" The two faceless mercenaries frowned. This wasn't protocol, if any level 3 mage wanted to join they would use an insider to inform them, so the test would be held on a day when there weren't any other level 3 mages fighters. So who could this person be here?
Unless.....
(A rogue level mage fighter?)
Most of the people seated here refused the last meal option as it screamed out dead man walking, but Leon actually asked for a rice ball? Was he suicidal?
"Hm? I'm just craving rice balls. Plus, Death is but a release, tell me though, would you be willing to fight against someone who's ready to die?" Leon responded to the man with a twisted smile. Of course, no one wanted to fight against someone like that. They would probably try to pull you down with them.
Naturally, Leon didn't have such tendencies, he only wanted rice balls. Did that mean he was going to die? That was stupid, his strength is what would determine that, not rice balls.
"Wooo, I'm soooo scared.....stupid kid" the man mocked Leon. Leon was but a kid who had been sent to his death by some egotistical old bastard.
He would probably be picked off by the more powerful ones immediately the fight starts, just for trying to stand out.
And truly Around Leon, several other fighters couldn't help but sneer as they watched Leon receive a bowl with three rice balls
After about 10 minutes.
"It's almost time....." the faceless waiter announced, and soon other faceless waiters from outside the restaurant began pulling down the metal blinds of the shop.
—Clang
—Clang
Soon the restaurant was filled with pitch blackness followed by a pin drop silence.
—fu
The waiter lit up a handheld fire touch and created some lumination in the room.
"Only one person can remain. Begin"
While standing conspicuously in the middle of the restaurant, the waiter commanded and immediately.
"Die!!"
All hell broke loose.
