14 CHAPTER 14

Arata and Rachel were surprised. Why ? Because they were not hurt at all. They were pretty sure they went all out on the attack and were hurt. But they were completely fine.

"Igsem !", they thought, and turned back and saw her doing patterns on the floor.

"Oh my ! You guys are pretty reckless sometimes eh?, well I had got you covered. My healing techniques will help you !", she said.

And they thought now, what was that Wushuang ! He was stronger than Solork.

"He was also an enhancer. I never thought he would be an enhancer. But your attack were magnificent. He was strong ! But your weapons were good too. And of course your combination. That was amazing !", Igsem replied.

"Thanks a lot !", they both said. Was the other fight over between those Ikta brothers ? No !

Clang ! Clang ! was heard all over, now that they noticed. They were evenly matched ! Swish ! Ching !

"Oh ! It's pretty hot there huh? They both are from assassination squads so they both have the same skill", Wakatoshi said.

"Oh ! By the way, was Wushuang from a Support squad. He did seem to heal in that fight too. I thought his skin was hard and our attacks were not working.", Arata asked.

"Nope. That was a frontline squad. They have hard skin, and it's not easy to damage them.", Igsem said. "And don't underestimate a Support squad."

Igsem has got angry. Arata had thought of a funny thing now. He had read books, but they described fight scenes as they were fighting. But that doesn't happen in real life huh ? The fights are actually just fights !

"Why did you leave our squad. And that you killed your own disciple. What happened !", Yahi Solork asked in a loud voice. What ! Arata had never heard of him killing or anything. So Solork did not tell me anything after all !

"That wasn't me ! I told you, but you won't listen. There was a betrayer in our clan. And he is still there ! I had to leave because you won't leave me alone !", Solork replied.

Rachel had no clue what was going on. She decided to ask Arata afterwards. Well there was more of talking than fighting. But Arata was interested in what they were talking about.

"No, I saw you kill him. I saw you kill Kurisu !", Yahi shouted. "She was the only one for me! You killed her ! I won't forgive you !", Yahi shouted.

Hoho! This was getting quite interesting. Arata liked this type of stuff. Right out of the novel. He continued to observe. Solork didn't want to kill his fellow family member. But now he had no choice. He would probably live in the fire of revenge his whole life. He had to end this Yahi's life right here !

Both Yahi and Solork were evenly matched. Arata was thinking of finishing this fight by backstabbing at the right moment, but Rachel had beaten it to him. Rachel went ahead and stabbed in the left of back of Yahi. It was his fault for being all alone in a fight. He fell and shouted, "SOLORK !!", and died.

"I feel like his ghost will haunt.. Ah ! I am getting creeps.", said Solork.

'Don't joke around with me ! I need information. What the fuck happened in this country? I wanna know everything about this squad.", Rachel shouted at Solork.

"Oh right ! Ok, for the sake of the unity of this squad, let's hold a meeting now !"

'Yes Sir !", everyone said.

Solork explained what he explained to Arata to everyone. Then he started, "I had joined the A rank squad which was made by my father. There were 20 family heads and they each started a squad. Ikta family, Rusnik family, Musaki family were all A rank squad. The Mahler, Prokofiev, Andre were all S rank as they had very strong legend rank martial experts, and we borrowed the scrolls from them. All families had wanted to build an empire for themselves and so they did with those 8 specialists. No one knows where those came from and where they went. Anyways, I was the master of both Yahi and Kurisu and the enhancement master was my father, Agnis who taught Pluero and Rasol. So there were a total of 6 people in my team. I have no idea how, but Kurisu was murdered and for some reason Yahi saw me do it and I had to run and form this squad in the capital. They didn't chase me much, but Yahi left the squad and formed a new one here. Yup. And that friend I keep talking about was Gluttony. He too played the piano and looked like you.", Solork explained.

"Hmm.. I guess I get the gist of it now. But we still don't know what they were trying to change and why have these squads betrayed us. I bet there are more squads coming here, not giving us a moment of rest. Let's fight them off ! And in the meantime, learn what these squads are and what the hell is happening in the empire.", Rachel said.

"Well Said !"
