Chapter 46 - Paper, Stone, Scissors! (2/2)

”Oh yea? Then where is it, mister 'I am always prepared now'? Where is your runestone concealing formation?”

Ao back started to sweat.

”This is your job, so I didn't bring any.”

Yusa's smile got even bigger.

”So that's to say, that in case I forgot to buy the runestone, you wouldn't have any either while I at least would still have the cheap ones, right?”

Ao was starting to feel helpless, why are they even talking about this? The problem was Yusa's love for money, wasn't it?

But unfortunately for him, he had Krune as a friend.

”Yusa is right in this point, being unprepared is not good, I myself have a few common concealing runestone formations with me just in case, it's just like when you said that when dealing with women, sometimes you need to be prepared to force your way in, the key is preparation.”

Ao was dumbstruck, this was about a conversation that they had a few weeks ago when Krune asked Ao to help him understand women better, after several left and right turns, the conversation went all the way to that phrase, the problem is, what he said was to force their way in…side their hearts! Brother, where is the rest of what I said?

Yusa and Shinja looked strangely at him, he sweated even more.

”Heart! I said force our way inside their heart!”

Krune looked puzzled.

”But in that case she won't get pregnant.”

Ao vomited blood, Krune is cutting down the important parts of their conversation and bringing out the unnecessary ones, it's obvious that Krune misunderstood the meaning of 'inside' for a certain reproductive situation, and now he was talking about when he had mentioned having children of their own.

Yusa and Shinja strange face became dark now, Yusa then said.

”So this is how you think about women? That has opened my eyes.”

In fact, Yusa knows very well that Ao definitely haven't said those worlds in that way, it was probably Krune turning everything that Ao said upside down, but now Krune, Shinja and even Jorei, who was only listening on the side, finally forgot about her, she was feeling very happy to see Ao in that situation, usually he would disappear anytime Krune did some weird. But the best thing is that Shinja and Jorei don't know about that, how funny! She wanted to lie down and laugh, but she had to keep her act.

Krune then put one of his hands on Ao's sholder, he looked completely serious, in fact, he really was, there is no way that the zero EQ Krune would be able to joke like that.

”Brother, don't worry, I will be on your side, just be sure to buy protection next time.”

Ao finally got desperate, little did he know that the protection Krune mentioned was about the runestone concealing formation, but by putting it that way it felt like Ao had already forced his way on some woman.

Shinja finally couldn't take it, she also took protection in the same way that Ao did, she had to free the women from the world from this guy, she started to think that Krune weird ideas were in fact coming from him.

Jorei watched all of that with his jaw completely open.

'Just what kind of team is this? Is it really okay to send then?'

Ao, who had been wronged, finally got a change to explain the whole story, but not before a few purple bruises appeared around his body, Yusa, just as expected, was laughing by the side while Krune still had his puzzled face.

Shinja was feeling embarrassed, she had unjustly beaten Ao, and at the same time, she was helpless, the group's leader, Krune, was simply a lost case for common sense. While Yusa, who should have told her about what was really happening, just kept laughing on the ground.

'How can they even accept someone like him as the leader?'

Ao was feeling helpless, he then made a decision, next time he will make sure that Krune understood his intentions through and through, otherwise he wouldn't say anything to start with.

Finally, the group decided to leave for the Raskie Danger Zone, after signing the agreement at the gate, they rushed forward in the direction of the deeper zones.

---

During the last two days, Shinja started to become scared of this group of three, doesn't matter which one of them, their control over the elements that they used were at the same level as her own, she has a Pure Yin Body, so her affinity with the water element is not something that can be achieved that easily, much less by unnamed cultivators like Yusa and Ao, Yusa water element control even had some different aspects that she had never thought about before, she couldn't understand how she got to that point. She doesn't know much about wind element, but she is experienced enough to tell that Ao's wind element control isn't the least bit weaker than Yusa, to find one genius was already hard, but for two to appear in the same group and no one knows about them, that's almost impossible!

But that wasn't the worst of all, the extreme case was obviously Krune, she head heard that he could control more than one element while still a low level Foundation Establishment, but the problem is that every single one of the elements he showed so far are at a higher level than her own, she even felt depressed when she saw Krune using water element to train against a beast he found on the way.

She lost! She didn't say it out loud but she knows, Krune's water element control is definitely above hers.

At first she just decided to protect them while they are in their mission, but now she was again struggling against her pride to ask Krune if he could also give her pointers on water element control.

The only comfort she had was the fact that she still had the highest combat prowess.

But it didn't last long, on the fourth day, they encountered a 7th stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, she though that she would have to already come forward to control the situation, she was even feeling good to herself, it was finally her time to show her good side to them, but to her surprise, Krune just asked.

”Alright, who between the three of us will fight?”

Yusa and Ao immediately raised their voices, the weird thing was that Krune, who had lower cultivation, also wanted to battle it to test a few things, none of the three thought much of the 7th stage beast at all, they just considered it a good target for training, Yusa finally lost her patience and said.

”Then we will resolve with paper, stone, scissors!”

Both Shinja and the beast that was waiting were taken aback, did they even notice the difference in cultivation between the beast and themselves? And they want to battle alone? Have they gone mad?

The reason the demon beast haven't acted yet was because he couldn't see through Shinja, so he was afraid of her being stronger than it, but it was almost losing it's patience after seeing Krune's group.

Turns out that Yusa won with stone, Ao and Krune looked gloomily at their hands, luck wasn't on their side today.

Yusa went forward and said.

”You are very lucky, this lady will be your opponent.”

Just like that, the battle started!
