Chapter 29 - 4 Man Vs 4 Girls

"Deathless World, it is the domain created to prevent any death and injuries within its area. Simply said, any living beings who lost their lives within the world's vicinity can still be saved." Said Mr. Jin, who just died as his soul was floating in the air. 

Everyone only silences as Mr. Jin speaks, not knowing what reaction they were supposed to show. And then, Jamis raises his hand...

"Death game... Is that like in those movies, Miss Sunny?" Hearing Jamis's question, Miss Sunny then answers back...

"Not quite, since this is gonna be a straight-up fight, killing each other." Michail then shouts at Miss Sunny since he doesn't like the idea of killing the game.

"This is absurd! We are only children in our teenage! How could we be gonna kill each other?!"

"Then, I'll make the rule to kill optional~ You don't have to kill each other. Instead, you had to complete the objective to win. But... be mindful that not all of you had your hands clean. Even for those who just got into this school." After Miss Sunny said that, everyone began to look around. Has this guy killed someone? Suspicion comes from each of the students.

"Now then... Without further ado, let's start our KILLING GAME WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES!!!~" Miss Sunny shouts with anticipation of fun, while the students had mixed feelings about this.

"Then, we're the first one to go right?" Team Ryuma then goes inside the village to where the circle indicates the starting point. As they were inside the circle, Ryuma realized that there was a drone with lenses flying around them. And then, there was a voice that came from the drone's direction.

"OK then, for this game. You all gotta take off every special badge from an enemy team." The drone then dropped the badge to Ryuma. It seems there were about four of them, which meant to be given by each individual of their group. Also, A piece of paper slowly drops to him.

"Hmm? This is our opponents? Valena Engela, Ramilia Overstone, Lorie Murphy, and Xenyi Jiahao... Wait, aren't they all girls?"

"Now it's 4 men VS 4 girls. Totally balance." Said Kiyo to the group.

"No, you shouldn't just underestimate them just because they were girls. Especially Valena. That girl's Unique is-"

"I know Rio. I have fought her once. It's truly a Unique you shouldn't underestimate for." Said Ryuma to Kiyo.

"In that case, you won't mind if I go against Valena? I have a bone to pick with her." Said Rio.

"Why? Because she has killed you once?"

"No, I just wanna fight her again. Although, she has killed me once before."

"Then! I will go for PREZ!!! This is for all the paperwork she gives me!" Said Mika. It appears that he wasn't happy with Ramilia.

"I'm fine with anybody." Said Kiyo did not care for who he went against. And then, the voice from the drone started speaking again…

"Now then, without further ado, the game will start... NOW!!!" A loud bell noise echoes through the entire village. Indicates the game has started. The four started to run towards the village. Little did they know, the village wasn't that big.

"OK, here is the plan, we either split up or rush together." Said Ryuma, giving an idea as the leader of the group, like he used to be.

"I don't think rushing together is a good idea. It'll only make us an easy target." Said Kiyo. As they were planning behind the house, a huge fire followed by an explosion, immediately raged from inside the house.

All four of them immediately stumble to the ground, losing their balance from the impact of the explosion."W-What is that fire?! Did they've already found us?" Before they realized it, every house in the village was also burning with fire. The smoke from the burning house got into their eyes, blocking their ability to see things.

Ryuma who could barely see a thing, just saw a rat who was watching them from the farm not far from them. But Ryuma decides not to care about the rat and drags the team from the pile of smoke. They barely got out of the smoke as they were lying on the edge of the farm. Coughing simultaneously from the smoke that just got into their nostril.

"That's a good start just for the first round." Said Kiyo. Meanwhile, Ryuma who is still coughing, realizes a figure not far from them. From Ryuma's point of view, an orb emanating a color of fire floats around the said figure. The orb then becomes shiny as it just fires a beam toward Ryuma and the others.

"DODGE!!!" Ryuma tried to warn others, but the beam had already reached them. The beam did not hit any of them but the ground near them,causing a huge AOE once it comes contact with the ground. The AOE caused by the beam left Ryuma's Team to stumble upon the ground once again.

"Oh, is that only it? I expect more from them." Said a figure who just attacked them.

"Don't decide things fast, Lorie, we actually don't know if they're still standing." Said Valena, who was standing beside her.

"Well, at the end of the day, they are just a bunch of weaklings~ They didn't even put up much of a fight." The fire beam from earlier caused a farm to be covered in huge smoke. But Valena noticed something after a while.

"They're gone? All four of them?" When Valena realized it, she saw Rio, who was running towards her right. And Ryuma on her left was running toward Lorie. Except, Lorie didn't even see both of them as they both were on the edge of her blind spot. Before Lorie knows it, Ryuma is already within his punching range. But then… another presence just saves her from Ryuma.

"Summon: OX!!!" Without realizing it, an Ox came from behind Lorie and charged toward Ryuma. The Ox sends Ryuma quite far into the distance, which led him towards the to the around of the residential area. When Ryuma got up, he was already standing between the house that had been burned to the ashes. It appears that the fire has already burned an entire village.

All Ryuma can see now is a rundown house after they got burned. Ryuma's eyes catch on the presence on the top of the house. It was a girl with a twin-braided hairstyle, along with black hair and thick eyebrows.

"That girl, if I remember correctly, she was called Xenyi..." 

Meanwhile, Rio was clashing with Valena. Despite the fact that she still has her void rapier up, it still cannot cut through Rio's sword. Or more like it didn't work on it.

"I thought Valena's sword was invincible when she first showed it. What is going on?" Lorie mumbled. Valena then creates the distance between her and Rio.

"No, can't do anything about it, Lorie. The swords that man carries are made of mithril. Which indicates it is a powerful mass for the void to cut it." Answer Valena.

"Indeed, my Shinozuki is the sword that is passed on from generation to generation within Tenjiro's family." From its appearance, the katana has the colors of blue and black from its sheath to the holder. Meanwhile, Lorie decides to attack Rio by aiming her fire orb toward him.

But at the same time, Lorie was interrupted by a knife that was flying toward her. Giving her a small cut on the arm. And before she realized it, Mika was already hugging Lorie from behind. Immobilized her ability to move.

"Got her!"

"Lorie! Khk!" Valena, who just found out that Lorie, who is already captured by Mika, tried to help her but was interrupted by Rio. Lorie tries to shoot Mika with her orb, but Mika is using her as a meat shield. 

"Aha! Not on my watch, short kid!" Yes, even though Ryuma and Alex were already short, they were also the shortest students in the class. It was Lorie Murphy. Mika is conveniently using Lorie's tiny body to shield himself from the orb.

"Let me go, damnit! You're going to make me puke!"

"I would've if that orb wasn't going to blast my head!!!" Not long after, before Mika knew it, there was another presence behind him. Grabbing his collar, immediately divorces Lorie from Mika and throws him onto the trees. Rio, who was fighting with Valena, then had his eyes on the presence.

"Ramilia... She just threw Mika that far. So she's probably the power type." Ramilia then charged toward Mika, who was just getting up. Before she realized it, a countless chain had already bound her. And behind Ramilia, there lies Kiyo who is holding the chain.

But the bound by the chain did not last long. She's already escaped from the chain with the help of the fire beam from Lorie's orb. That fire beam also hit Kiyo on the arm as he groaned in pain from the heat.

Ramilia who already escaped then tried to attack Kiyo but she was charged by Mika. Mika grabs and lifts Ramilia as he's charging towards her. Making them leave the group fight.

Meanwhile, Ryuma can only glare at Xenyi and her Ox. Rio is clashing swords with Valena. Kiyo, who just got up, and Lorie are standing nearby with her orb. And Mika, the Vice President, was standing up against the Class President.
