60 The result of the bet Part-1 (1/2)

Kyouki: ”Oi brat you are quite for a long time, is there any problem? Oi say something, was it your first kill? Well if it is I...”.

Long Yu gritted his teeth what is wrong with this people, he really missed the 'Shadow Wolves', even if only Veronica was now with him right now but this girls are irritating always trying to act nice then next second they are insulting him and finally after some time he snapped back, ”Kyouki, listen I know you all barely tolerate me and I can say same can be said about me, and after a few more hours we will no longer be teammates and I can say after we get out of this ruins we will never ever meet again. So instead of insulting and trying to put me down or make fun of me next time when I say something next time please try to spare some thought on the matter.”

Ryofu with a stoic face, ”Is it about that poisonous fruit?”

Long Yu: ”It is one of the many incidents which happened since we formed a team.”

Ayesha with a frown on his face, ”Listen here kid I accept that I made a mistake in identifying the fruit and if you want I can apologize to you, but you do not have to make a big issue about it.”

Long Yu: ”See this is what I am talking about, I do not care if you know about something or you do not know, and making mistake is normal learning process, I will be frank and even accept that there are lots of things I may not know. But when I voiced my concern please please give it some thought. I also know me being so young makes it impossible for you to take me seriously but do not forget I had the same qualification to enter here as any of you.”

Helen gave out a sigh, ”Ok little brother, next time we will listen to your suggestions and we will stop treating you as a child. Is that alright with you Long Yu?”

He gave them a bright smile as he replied, ”Yup and I am happy that you understand.”

Veronica listened to their talk intently, she herself was annoyed at her new team's behavior towards Long Yu, she wished she was with her original teammates, then she felt sad when Long Yu said,' after we get out of this ruins we will never ever meet again', she knows it is true he entered their team because he wanted to gain experience nothing more nothing less, but that does not mean she has to like it all those beautiful memories they shared she will never forget them ever. At the same time the disrespect shown to Long Yu by her new teammates really gritted her nerves and she was sure if some of her more hot tempered teammates like Jessie was here it would had escalated into a big bloody fight.

Ayesha: ”So how did you know about the everlasting peace fruit? Have you seen it before?”

Long Yu: ”Well if picture on a book counts then yes I have seen it.”, while inwardly musing, 'Of course I have seen it, what do you expect of my Master's herbarium, not only she has every medicinal plants there, I can swear each of them are infinite in number.'

Helen: ”The thing that you did before to them, how did you paralyze them?”

Long Yu:”Oh those I used arrays.”

Helen: ”Arrays? But how I never show you place some array tags before.”

Long Yu just raised his left hand and touched the wall of the Labyrinth, and removed his hand soon an array formed.”, Helen was astonished as was her teammates.

Helen: ”How did you place that like there, do you some kind of contraption on your hands?”

Long Yu showed his hands, but was freaked out at the way his hands were studied by Helen at one time it looked as if she would simply tear his hands out.

Helen: ”Impossible, an array requires intensive calculations commands and what not to be written on top of that we require materials to write on.”

Long Yu: ”If you practice enough it is easy to do so especially with array you know by heart and most importantly I am a peak Zifu Disciple level Array Master, I think you would be able to craft once you reach that level.”

Helen was lost in thought maybe she should double her efforts on becoming a better array master, it seemed a very useful in battle.

What neither of them knew that the technique used by Long Yu was a very special one, normally a person can only put an array like that only when the rank of such array is many ranks below the mastery of the array. But Long Yu was extremely lucky to apprentice under such knowledgeable Array Master as 'Nuwa' who created a technique enabling Long Yu to manifest any type of array up to his rank of Array Mastery easily with a blink of his eye and by a simple touch.
