Chapter 97 Towards the front 10 (1/2)
”now if I were a load of lard where would I hide..?”
Mars looked around the empty office once more before he turned and left the office and started to walk around the mansion
”you there, halt!”
”oh for fucks sake...”
Mars stopped and turned and saw a knight like person clad in full plate armor
”who are you, what are you doing here?”
”...well I'm looking for the lord, do you have any idea where he is?”
the knight paused for a moment
”...he should be in the back courtyard”
”oh... thanks”
”you're welcome”
Mars felt his smile stiffen slightly but still gave the knight a light bow before he turned and left for the courtyard
'that was kind of pleasant...'
Mars soon arrived and walked out of the mansion into the open courtyard where he spotted Gas along with 3 people in black armor
”found you!”
”you! how are you still alive I was su---”
Mars disappeared from view and reappeared right in front of Gas and grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air, meanwhile the dark knight captain looked on with slight surprise on his face for a moment before he asked Mars
”....can you let him down?”
”no”
”why not?”
”he killed a few friends of mine you see, well he didn't do it himself his cousin did”
”and when did this happen?”
”about 5 days ago”
”... are you perhaps---”
”captain let's just kill him!”
being interrupted the captain let out a massive amount of killing intent and looked at the dark knight that had interrupted him
”quiet Kim, the adults are talking”
”y-yes captain”
the captain gave a sigh and his killing intent disappeared like mist in sunlight before he spoke to Mars again in a calm tone
”where you perhaps on the sky carriage that crashed north of here?”
”yeah I was”
”...I see, how many others survived?”
Mars looked at the captain for the first time with a blank look on his face
”3 died, the vice principal, Chris a student and the driver”
”L....e..t...me....d...o....wn”
Mars looked up at gas that was completely blue in the face and gave a slight slime
”quiet little piggy the adults are talking”
the captain also ignored Gas and looked like he was in deep thought before he gave a nod and looked at Mars
”that's a interesting story... but I'm afraid it's just that at this point, a story. So why don't you put down the lord and we can talk about it some more?”
”no way”
”...what did you just say?”
”I said no way”
the captain gave another sigh, before he looked at the female dark knight
”I see.... Kim you're up, try not to hurt the lord”
”yes captain!”
Kim put on her helmet and readied her claws as she casually walked closer to Mars, Mars looked over Kim and his gaze stopped at the claws
”...nice claws”
”thanks!”
Kim kicked off the ground and swiped at Mars with her claws, but Mars simply took half a step back and avoided the swipe
”muuuu!”
Kim let out a unladylike sound and swiped at Mars again only to have the same thing happen again, Mars effortlessly avoided her swipe by leaning his body to the side, still holding Gas above his own head in one hand
”stay still!”
”nope~”
for the next 2 minutes Kim tried to hit Mars with her claws, the key part being that she tried
”MUUU!!!”
Kim stomped her foot into the ground before she turned to the captain and yelled
”captain, he doesn't play nice!”
”why don't you stop going easy on him then?”
”fine!”
Kim stopped for a second and suddenly runes lit up on her armor forming a complex formation across the entire dark plate body, Mars having studied formations recognized part of the formation and quickly transformed his free hand into his dragon claws
*CLANG*
'damn she's quick now, might have to be a little serious'
”MUUU!! why do you block!?”
