We are a Team

"B*tch! How dare you sneak attack my darling like that?" Freya reaches us with those words.

"I am just teaching the ways of the world to my student, also since when was he your darling? I have never seen admin accepting or even noticing your advances, at least to my knowledge." Why is this conversation heading into a strange direction now? I need to change the subject somehow.

"Shishou call me Amar, it would be weird and confusing if you called me admin all the time especially in the Tower. I accepted you as my teacher so you should call me by my name." I tell Scathach.

"And why did you accept her as a teacher?" Freya asks me while smiling. I am feeling chills, where did I go wrong? Though I kinda understand her but then again I am a hypocrite.

"I accepted because she is a really good teacher and my spear arts will be top notch after training with her." I say to her while summoning back my spear. "Also I don't know how to use extract Slaughter energy or use that Shinsu Quality for a better combat usage. So she can probably teach me that too."

"What is Shinsu Quality?" They both ask me. Subject changed successfully, mission passed.

"Shinsu Quality is a special kind of Shinsu with certain attributes or properties, these qualities are only said to be possessed by special people. It's rare to find people with Shinsu Quality in the Tower, and it's a sign of great talent if you have it. Having multiple Shinsu Qualities is even rarer. To give you a comparison of how rare it is I will give you an example. The Head of the Khun family one of the Ten Great Families, Khun Eduan also known as God of Spears, Rank 6 in the Tower has 3 Shinsu Qualities to my knowledge. These Shinsu Quality are Ice, Lightning and Spear. The move I just used on the last floor was also by using my Shinsu Quality Destruction in addition to a move called Shinsu Black Hole Sphere. By the way, Freya you have two Shinsu Qualities namely Orb and Divine. And you Shishou have three Shinsu Qualities named Shadows, Slaughter and Spear. You can gain more Shinsu Qualities later on but it's very hard to unlock more." Damn so that was an explanation.

I then look towards my pocket to check how many participants are left.

[Remaining Participants: 131]

Damn that's quick.

"Looks this test is about to be over." I tell them."Let's wait this out, the others should already have an idea about this so I am not that worried about them."

Actually let's check the chat group.

[IrasApostle: @PervertedSlime @HikiNEET @SimpforEmilia Hey guys how are you doing? Have you found each other yet? Freya and Scathach are here with me. I would have told you where I am but this test area is bigger than I expected and I can't really tell you any distinguishable landmarks.]

I sent the message and in about 30 seconds I get a reply.

[PervertedSlime: No need to worry bro, I found the guys and they were holding out pretty well too. Subaru especially seems to have a sense to avoid death it seems.]

What? Subaru avoid death? Did his Shinsu Quality or taint somehow make him more sensitive to fatal threats?

[HikiNEET: This world is much more exciting than my world but it's much bloodier as well. Don't know if I like this world or my world more. I miss my parents, sigh.]

Damn you Kazuma. You really had to remind me. Calm down Amar, you will definitely meet them again. This still makes me sad though.

I feel a hand on my head and I look up and see Freya trying to comfort me. I say my brief thanks to her. And Shishou looks at me with a complicated expression. She's just about to say something but we were interrupted by a big man coming here.

"Hey ladies, how w-" He gets interrupted as well when a spear passes through his head. What a coincidence that the spear is dark silver in colour, really a coincidence.

"Did you want to say something Shishou?" I ask her.

"I'll ask you later, this is not the time for it." Alright, that's what she said. Normally this is usually leads to a flag but there really is no threat to us here. Unless Jahad who is currently inactive or Great Family Leaders suddenly come for a vacation down here, there really is no one here who can even force me to even retreat. So I am really fine if she wants to talk to me about something important later.

BONG!

A loud horn like sound is heard. And then the announcer lady from before is heard from again.

{Stop fighting! Anyone who fights from hereon out will be disqualified. Congratulations Regulars for passing the test, now that you Regulars have shown your battle skills. Then it's finally time to form your teams. Its because going up in the Tower alone is impossible and is mainly done through teams. So now you have 5 minutes to find 2 more Regulars to team up with. If you fail to find them. You will fail this test. At the end of the 5 minute mark, the teammates should be touching each other anywhere on the body to be considered a team. Good luck in finding good teammates.}

As soon as the announcement is finished. Freya comes close to me, and hugs my left arm with her bosom. Damn is this that legendary situation? "What are you doing?" I ask even though I am enjoying the feeling. Freya just smirks in answer and looks towards Shishou.

Now don't get me wrong, I do have the memories of doing even more crazier things with Freya but those are just memories and also they are from Freya's perspective. So me getting this reaction is totally justified alright. Plus this is the first time I have felt this in my life.....I think. Did I have a moment where a girl was pressing her bosom against my arm, now that I think about it I think I have. Though I am pretty sure that the girl was just overly friendly and there was nothing flirty going on there.

Anyway 3 minutes pass by like this. And now I feel a hand on top of my right hand. I look towards Shishou. And she says, "We are a team."

"Of course, others are unworthy after all." I answer. She seems satisfied with my answer.

And as we sit together like that, the rest of the time for the test passed.

BONG!

{Congratulations to the Regulars who passed the test. The teams will now be transferred to Evankhell's Mothership for the next set of tests.}

And then we get teleported and arrive in a high tech looking place with a crowd around us. Everyone looks warily at each other. After that some people start talking to each other and some go away to be alone. I am of course in the latter group, being a fanfic protagonist does not cure social anxiety. Also I can only talk to chat group well enough because they are like discord friends meeting irl to me.

I feel someone getting closer to me and I look towards the person and I find that it's Rimuru. I then suddenly get self conscious and notice that I am still holding (I don't know if that's the right word for the situation) Shishou and Freya's hand. I tell them that we don't need to hold hands anymore. And they reluctantly let me go? Wait reluctantly? I get Freya but why Shishou? Is she getting weirdly competitive with Freya Or something? Whatever I don't care at the moment, doesn't seem a bad thing to me.

"I see that you are enjoying your time here." Rimuru grins at me.

"What about you?" I just brush off his insinuation.

"Meh it's alright. Nothing special happened." He answers. "And it looks like about 15 teams passed the test. Though none of them are worth mentioning so far. Well compared to us, they are really weak."

"You can't compare Regulars who aren't even F rank to us. Some of us can even defeat High Rankers who are in the Top 100 of the Tower. Well two to be precise." I tell him. We all talk some more and I tell them the basic things they need to know about the Tower. I also tell Rimuru about his Shinsu Qualities and he seems surprised and happy at my explanation.

Suddenly the doors to this area, and a certain blond trap enters the hall or room whatever you wanna call it. What the hell is that sly bast*rd here for?

"Hello my name is Hansung Yu and I am the test supervisor of this floor. Nice to meet you Regulars." He smiles towards us all and then he looks towards me. [Image Here]

Here's the chapter you guys. Did you like it? Please do tell me about some good chat group fics to feed my addiction to this.

Anyway, were you tricked into believing that Hansung Yu was a female? I know I was when I first read Tower of God. When I found out I was like what?

Yes I was tricked

No I am going to pretend I was not tricked
