15 Sector D2? (1/2)
”Mhm...”
Seething with a strange sense of melancholy, Su Min sighed. He grabbed the book by his side and held it on his lap, shifting his gaze to the sky where the countdown still stood. Surprisingly, he could see a minuscule spark gathering above the countdown, making him squint.
*PSHEW*
Out of nowhere, a rapid undulation of starlight streaked through the atmosphere. A breathtaking display of supernatural waves and streaks interwove and strung together, performing a symphony of unprecedented proportions.
Seconds passed and before Su Min realised it a table had formed in the sky. It would dazzle the eyes of anyone who saw it, even Su Min. Not taking heed to this, a muffled roar pounded at the atmosphere as a list was inflamed onto the table.
'1ST: Sector D2500 POINTS
2ND: Sector A2456 POINTS
3RD: Sector A1448 POINTS
4TH: Sector A3400 POINTS
5TH: Sector B1378 POINTS
.... '
'...'
”W-what?!”
The sword youth was the first to go wide-eyed as he stared at the list, with emotions iterating between joy and trepidation.
Nevertheless, without any warning, numerous sparks in the sky were roused by a mystical force. Countless pillars of light enveloped the whole forest, some small and some large.
The largest, though, was right above Sector D2, and resounding in an awe-inspiring manner, the pillar pierced through the air. Su Min didn't even get a chance to see its descent as it arrived at the ground instantaneously before dissipating just as quickly.
*PSHEW*
Countless rays shot through the sky and in the blink of an eye, everything returned back to normal.Su Min was surprised to see that a small metal box hovered right in front of him, blowing faint hymns in the room.
Above the box flickered a light hologram, emanating a mystical presence
'1st Prize Box'
Below the hologram, shining with a faint gold, a mystical button shone, glimmering with the word 'Open'.
The sword youth, sitting at the side, gulped at the unexpected prize then looked at Su Min eagerly.
Pondering, Su Min went and pressed the button with a light touch, and without delay, the crate threw itself open.
”Huh?”
What revealed itself was a rough black jacket, outlined in gold. It emitted an eery murderous aura as everyone felt danger arise in their hearts. It was in fact intense enough that it forced Yi Zan to lapse out of unconsciousness.
The sword youth looked startled for a moment as he murmured ”W-wha..?”.
Su Min eyes dazzled with a strange glint, and without delay, he went and picked up the jacket. He looked at the sword youth and asked. ”Do any of you want it?”
The sword youth coughed as he shook his head, speaking with sincerity.
”It'd be rude for me to ask you, as you are the reason we obtained it anyway.”
Pondering for a second, Su Min proceeded to drape himself in the rather stylish black jacket. This in turn cause murderous aura to envelop Su Min, emitting a chill that crawled in the room and into the hearts of everyone.
Muttering under his breath, the sword youth grumbled with a wry smile.
”He looks even scarier...”
...
”What is this bullshit? How come we're only second?!”
A skinny man with a boney face raged in a similar metal room. He didn't look weak though, as a creepy aura enveloped him and shrouded over everyone.
A majestic necklace was draped on his neck as he held a worm in his hand, which was screaming in agony.
In front of him, two burly men shone with fearful expressions.
”Sir, the Dojo won't lie-”
”So you're saying that someone more talented than me appeared in that shithole?”
A maddened expression roused on skinny man's face, frightening the two men. One of them, trembling,spoke in a reassuring manner.
”There's still wave two, sir, so... We can just wait and see!”
