Book 2: Chapter 51: Payback Part I

Scarlet

Both Emily and I decide to avoid Losts team, which is the only team with us representing Yggdrasil here. Because dealing with a mental magic user is not something I wanna have to do.

So were just gonna leave her to the other teams to deal with. Or I guess hope that she comes to our tower and finds Belles lovely mental barriers.

Most likely shes going to avoid our tower though, since Belle is basically her natural enemy. Which works out considering that Lost is probably the most dangerous Guardian here for me.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

I completely ignore Emilys flushed face as I sprint through the forest while holding her in a princess carry because the girl is too slow compared to me. Our current destination is actually the tower belonging to Aquatic Pride, mostly because we know theyre down a member thanks to us, and for a little payback.

And in Denises case, some plain satisfaction.

We, or rather I keep running through the forest jumping from tree to tree while making as little noise as I can until the base of their tower one styled with their schools animal, a large squid, above the doorway enters my line of sight at which point I lower Emily to the ground. Then we both move closer to the edge of the trees without leaving the tree line.

I close my eyes for a second, focusing on the sounds coming from the tower. And when I open them again, I type on my terminal for Emily to see, Sounds like there are three of them here.

She nods and we both focus on the tower again.

If I had to guess, Shifter probably left on his own to find some lone students to take out in the forest. And the other missing one is obviously the dead Shadow Blade.

Which leaves their leader and supporter, Ace, whose name also happens to be Ace, their healer known as the Songstress, and their second hitter, Falling Sun, who are all still in the tower.

Falling Sun should be at the stairs to the third floor on the second floor. Which means well have to deal with him.

I smile slightly before looking at Emily to find that shes finally calmed down, no longer beet red.

Is she going to get embarrassed over every little thing I do that requires contact? Because that would be a little bit annoying in a combat situation.

Although in hindsight, its not that bad since itll likely mean she wont try to touch me. Because combat is one thing. Outside of combat is another.

Was wondering why you seemed perfectly fine with physical contact with that kid in the other Fracture you saved a while back, and with Emily when you help her, Tar mutter, and I nod, confusing Emily in the process. It looks like you just dont actively think about the physical contact in those situations, so it doesnt bother you.

Hmm, guess you can think of it like that. Probably.

Anyways, I open my terminal to tell Emily, Ace and Songstress on core floor, Falling Sun on second floor stairs. Plan is to go through window. You ready?

She immediately gulps at that but nods with a confident look replacing the very brief flash of fear.

Glad shes finally getting over that near death experience she had in our first Fracture. It seemed to have made her a bit squeamish for a while and afraid to get into the more dangerous situations.

Now then.

Time to take this tower!
