Chapter 1150 Bucky steps up (2/2)
”That sounds great. What better way to bring our two factions closer together than through the art of combat and coalition. Before you accept though there are a few rules.” Longblade nodded as he continued to smile, not showing his concern.
”Master Green here is to stay in the stands far away from any of the machinery. Before your fight is to take place we shall have a test run, and the game we shall play won't exactly be the same as Power Fighters either.”
”As you have already noticed, everyone of my soldiers uses a bladed weapon. The most common one is a sword to do battle. To make it a little more fun we have altered the gaming system. Each combatant starts off with a hundred points of Health. Each blow takes off points, up to a maximum of ten if you hit a lethal spot. For a regular hit five.”
”I know in the real world, one would die from a stab to the heart or the head, but this is all for us to improve our skills. After all, there are some foes we face that don't die even after suffering such an injury. So what do you say?”
Logan, who was still there, didn't like it. Nobody in the present Cursed group used swords as their weapons. With all things in the Colonel's favour, Logan expected Quinn to refuse or at least make some demands of his own.
”I'm in. Shall we start now?” Quinn asked with a smile.
It came to a surprise for most of the Cursed and they were wondering just what Quinn was up to. Leaving the field, Logan didn't even have time to ask, but Quinn just gave him a thumbs up as he neared the stands.
”Excellent, I am very pleased we have someone who doesn't shy away.” Longblade bellowed out as he turned and made his way to the other side of the field, yet his fake smile soon turned into a frown.
'Is he this confident because of what he is? We have to win this fight to prove to the people that the V are something that can be dealt with. Most are afraid of the V and disgusted by them, there is only a select view that isn't swayed by the countless rumours, that going the Cursed will turn you into a V and give you great power.'
Whether right or wrong, Longblade had his own reasons for wanting to win this fight. As stipulated, they witnessed a fight between two other soldiers take place before the main one. The field had changed once again, this time into a stony area with several large rocks and pillars all around.
The two of them used their swords and the field reacted as it would to in real life, each slash against the rocks would cut and break them, and even the attacks against each other would simulate the pain and reaction their body would feel.
The only difference was, that once the pain disappeared the wound would heal instantly. At the same time, everyone could see the health bars above go down as each opponent struck each other.
'I see. Well, it seems I've learned a lot, watching them.'
As for Quinn's reason for wanting to fight, it was actually quite childish. Similar to Fex's dream of piloting a Mech, when Quinn had first entered the military academy and joined the beast weapons class, he had originally wanted to use a sword to do battle.
The main reason he hadn't selected that weapon was due to the system informing him it wouldn't have supported his Blood swipe and other blood powers compared to the gauntlets. Now that he had extreme strength, speed, reflexes and experience under his belt, Quinn wanted to see how exactly he would fare with the weapon he had once neglected.
With the match over, Quinn's and the Colonels' match was about to begin.
”Come on Bucky, kick his arse!” Fex shouted and cheered as loud as he could. Since the whole arena was now chanting the name of Longblade. It was quite overwhelming as the loud sound was drowning out everything, and Fex even had to cover his sensitive ears.
'Quinn, good luck.' Layla thought.
”What a surprise to stumble upon an Ex agent of Pure in this place.” A voice whispered behind her.
