85 A Broken Duo (1/2)
A flying bug of light was darting through the air, spectating everything that was going on in the battlefield below while sometimes providing support by ensnaring, blinding or distracting the beasts below.
”Alex! There is a crocodile beast hiding behind the sand dune to your left! Watch out!” A voice came from Alex's watch.
”Roger that!” Alex (B- rank) replied, cloaking himself and his spear in a tough lightning aura before blitzing behind the dune, taking out the crocodile beast with a quick thrust of his spear, blowing a large hole straight through its stomach.
”Marth! Keep an eye on your rear! Another horde of low-rank beasts are coming this way!” The same voice rang through pretty boy Marth's watch.
”Affirmative my lady!” the tall, pink-haired Marth (C- rank) said in a playful and almost flirtatious tone before forming a huge tornado of wind, blowing away all the incoming beast like they were bowling pins waiting to be knocked down.
”Alli! I require some healing! Can you come back to me, I this they have got everything in the bag!” The same voice sounded through Alli's watch.
”Y-yes ma'am…” the tall, skinny black haired Alli (D+ rank) timidly responded.
”Jayden! Quickly! Take care of the wolf that is heading for Parson! We can't let him get injured! Without his night vision supportability, all of you would be sitting ducks!”
Parson (F rank) was a brown-haired, short, scared boy who was always exploited and bullied at school for having such a useful ability for nighttime bullying and fighting. He stood on top of a large sand dune in the middle of the battlefield. His ability allowed him to provide a night vision buff to everyone within a 200-meter radius of him which was an overpowered and invaluable ability for a planet such as this.
”Sure thing Karen!” Jayden responded with a giggle.
”My name is not Karen! It's Becky!” She replied with clear annoyance.
”Hahahahahha! Becky… That's even worse! The name cracks me up every time!” Jayden responded once again, laughing even harder than before.
”Shut up! Just kill the damn beast before it gets to parson!” Becky (E+ rank) snapped.
”Whatever you say spirit bug girl!” Jayden replied, trying to hold in her laughter.
”Ahhhh!! Please don't kill me wolf beast!! I don't wanna dieee!!” Parson screamed like a toddler, putting his right leg and arms up in fear, nearly pissing his pants.
Jayden threw one of her shadow-enhanced daggers at the leaping wolf before it could reach parson with pinpoint accuracy, hitting it straight through the throat, killing it in one shot before immediately returning the dagger to her hand thanks to her weapon ability.
”It seems like our work here is done! Everyone head back to me!” Becky said in a cheerful tone, retracting her spirit bug back to her side.
She was the team's battle strategist and scouter, giving the team orders on what to do as they fought. The watch's calling feature was disabled for the student's outside of their assigned team in order to minimize teams cheating and colluding with each other which did not at all hinder them.
As the group was walking back towards Becky and Alli, Jayden started to hear a slight rumbling in the ground underneath Alex who was walking around 50 meters in front of them. When she looked around at her teammate's faces, she noticed that they looked completely normal. Marth was giving her the lustful eye waiting for his moment to flirt and start up a conversation like usual and Parson was tightly holding his staff, looking at the sand dunes around him with extreme fear and paranoia.
None of them were able to hear the rumbling sound that was coming from underneath Alex which Jayden then concluded that it must be her demon enhanced senses picking up on it.
She started to panic as she noticed the sound increasingly get louder while her teammates were still completely clueless and had no reaction at all.
