Chapter 177 Ready For An Adventure?

Ding!

Ding!

Diiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!

A loud groan erupted from the first door of the recruits.

"F*ck whoever is at the door, making a trashy habit of disturbing at this early hour!"

Obsidian let out a chuckle at the words he heard, his index finger suspended over the doorbell as he considered spitting him the more.

Ding!

Ding!

Di! Di! Di! Diiiiiiiiiiiing!

"This isn't the academy, goddamnit! Now you just made me hate bells." Nix's irritated voice came blasting through the little spaces on the door.

Obsidian could tell it was Nix who had made that sort of noise and was glad he had triggered an angry response.

Hearing footsteps approaching the door, Obsidian brushed himself up so he could look as presentable and dignified enough to plead for forgiveness with the most mischievous look ever.

This was what he wanted, the competition, the thrill of antagonizing for the right reasons, and just about enjoying someone's company for the very first time.

From the response he had gotten, this was just about the beginning of what he could say or do until they met physically.

"What the f*ck man, I told you that you should–"

"Hello!" Obsidian waved, scaring the shit out of Nix.

"Ahhh!" Nix jumped back in shock, bringing his hands out in front of him, ready for a battle if the need arises.

He had wanted to be left alone, training with Lumina on her vast skills in weaponry.

He had been pleasantly surprised with the simulation the room could morph into to suit their training desires.

But right now, he had originally thought he was yelling at Lank for disturbing, never in his few months of constant surprise, not even the one he had received from the f*cked up system that had left him hanging and defenseless, has been as nerve-wracking as Obsidian at his door.

"Obsidian!" He said through gritted teeth, uncomfortable by his presence.

"I was wondering if you heard some sort of alarm..." He began, forgetting what he had wanted to say earlier as planned.

p Click!

"You feral beast!" Lank's voice thundered in disdain, his head poking out as he glared daggers at Obsidian.

Obsidian raised his chin in pride, "I know a brother when I see one, and you are also a feral."

"Broth– what the heck do you think you are?!" Lank yelled.

Nic facepalmed at the banter that Lank initiated. What Obsidian was pointing out sounded important and Lank just interrupted.

"Your feral brother." Obsidian deadpanned.

"Lank! When would you begin to use your brain more than your mouth?!" Gia walked up to him, hitting him on the head.

"Gia?!" He yelled, disappointed that he had been betrayed by the one close to his heart. "Are you also smitten with him? Is he much better than I am?!"

Gia's face scrunched up in disgust, hitting him once more in annoyance. "Sometimes I wonder how I kissed those lips."

"Could you please shut the hell up?!" Nix yelled to get back the order he so rightly deserved.

Immediately he spoke, and a calm followed.

Click!

Click!

Solis and Luna poked out their heads, finally getting word on who had sparked up the noise.

Arion reluctantly opened his door, frowning at the sight of another person who looked a little demeaning.

"Who's this mascot?" He blurted out in a murmur.

Obsidian's ears picked up on the description, his face turned to the right. His gaze latched onto the culprit.

In an instant, he registered Arion as bad in his thoughts. He had noticed how Lank had treated Arion while he was unconscious, from his guesses, he could deduce that he wasn't part of that warm group that had tried to stick to one another.

His silver claws grew an inch longer in size and so did a cold glint flash from his eyes. "You have bad intentions!" He growled.

There was an aura that seethed off him that didn't sit right with him. His words the moment he met him officially cemented this feeling into his head.

"Shut the hell up fart face, I'm the only one authorized to call him remotely related to that." Lank hissed.

Noticing Obsidian claws, Lank's lips raised in a smirk, a devilish grin on his face.

"If I were you, I would apologize!" Lank whistled, looking anywhere but Arion's direction.

"What do you–"

Bam!

He felt forced to the ground with a hard grip on his neck.

Opening one of his eyes as he winced to the pain, he had got angered by the fact that he had been disrespected once more by someone who had a superiority complex.

"So... what did you call me again?" Obsidian pressed Arion's head on the floor, cracks appearing to the pressure he exerted.

All let out a collective gasp at what was going on.

"What's all this noise I keep hearing?" Lumina yawned, coming out of her room so she could see the action for what it was.

Her eyes widened at the scene before her. Lightning bolts coursed through her body.

"No one bullies him to this extent than I." She said through gritted teeth.

Raising her hand, she called down currents gathered from the appliances in the corridor.

Bam!

Obsidian did a backflip before he could be hit by her lightning.

Arion on the other hand wasn't too lucky, his body spasmed from being caught in the attack.

"You're spunky, I like you!" Obsidian looked at Lumina in admiration. This earned a frown from Nix.

"Easy there, Sid." He pulled back Lumina so she could be where he could watch over her. "What is it that you wanted to say?"

Uncomfortable with Arion's presence, he turned back momentarily and cast a black sphere around Arion like he had done when he tried to kill them.

"Make sure you don't attempt anything funny while in your naughty corner." Obsidian taunted, tossing him inside his room while still trapped in his sphere.

"Now, onto the main reason why I had come to search you out." Obsidian's voice turned serious with a devilish smirk.

"Would you like to go on an adventure with me?" He said with a smirk.

Nix still felt uneasy by the double personality displayed by Obsidian, one moment he displayed a vile attitude of a mad dog, and on another, he was as soft and cute as a fluffy puppy when speaking with him.

"Why do I feel like you are toying with me?" Nix narrowed his eyes, unsure if he could go along with his words.

"In this situation, I am not and I feel you are the best choice for this task."

Raising a brow at his words, Nix shared a look towards Lumina, then Lank, Solis, and Luna.

"We are listening." He said, folding his hands.

"There's trouble in the city," Obsidian glanced around them, "a citizen needs our help."

"Our help?" They all chorused in confusion.

"Surely you all heard the alarm." He looked at them desperately, they needed to act fast, yet they were having a discussion even he couldn't hold on to for such a long while.

From the looks on their faces, it revealed that the organization had intentionally kept it a secret from their section.

He had always wondered why their rooms were off the ones given to the members of the organization. He had put it down to being recruits, segregated from the others so they could be groomed personally.

"You all didn't hear it, did you?" He turned his attention to Lank, hopeful that his part as a feral would have helped him in having a better hearing augmentation.

"Well..." Lank whistled, guilty that he had dismissed what he heard as an annoying alarm. "I had thought it was an alarm clock, put there to be a pain in my..."

Gia slapped him on the shoulder, shaking her head. "So you thought it right to disturb my sleep because of something that you thought was an annoying announcement?"

Lank shrugged, guilty as charged but not willing to admit to his fault.

"If you knew that it was a person in danger, would you have willingly gone to help out?" Obsidian asked in curiosity.

They all nodded their heads.

"It is the right thing to do," Nix spoke on their behalf.

"And some butt-kicking, throat-slitting, bones breaking, flesh-ripping while we're at it!" Luna whooped in happiness at the thought of letting loose.

All attention was drawn to her with raised brows.

The only exceptions are Nix, Lumina, and most especially Obsidian.

For a second, he had forgotten what he had wanted to relate to them as he stared at Luna in a daze.

"Ahem!" Solis cleared his throat intentionally to pull Obsidian's attention away from his sister. Nudging Luna on the side when she was in the same daze as he was.

Shaking his head, he looked away with a blush. "As a matter of urgency, I need to know if you all could accompany me to save someone."
