Everyone was shocked to see Laikan's sudden appearance in the arena, except Archibald.
ONE didn't receive any damage from Laikan's attack and felt a bit annoyed: Well, if you going to intervene an important march, make sure you can actually have an impact.
Laikan: Making sure he is alive is good enough… Now, why not fight someone your size?
Laikan gets in his ready stance and rushes toward ONE with his fists. ONE blocked all of Laikan's attacks with his two katana then perform counters of his own.
Laikan was shocked by the speed of ONE's attack, he was able to block some of them, and withstand a few minor hits until he received a critical blow through his shoulder, which forced him to unleash a powerful attack that knocked him, ONE and ONE's sword back in opposite direction.
ONE was knocked back into the wall of the arena with both katanas clung to his hands. Laikan was knocked on his back and skidded all the way back to Sunz, who was still recovering.
Sunz: *huff*huff* You got him or it?
Laikan on the floor: No! not at all… Hey Sunz, don't mean to undermine you but how were you able to go hand-to-hand with that thing, even though you have way less training than everyone here?
Sunz: I have the ability to predict the movement of anyone holding a sword-type weapon, and the stronger they are or in great quantity the more my brain overthinks and will give me an extreme headache.
Laikan: You are saying that, you won't stand a chance if that thing uses any weapons other than swords.
Sunz: I still get my ass kicked when he is using a sword, but yeah I'm pretty useless… now you too?
Laikan:?
Jihu: What, can't I join in the fun too? I'm one-third of this group.
Sunz: This feels like a setup. Do you two know something that I don't?
Jihu: All I know is you two can't win against him. *pulling Laikan up*
Laikan: All I know is, the thing you are fighting is an android.
Jihu: What?! I didn't know that.
Laikan: Well it was just a rumor, the live stream I asked Archibald to set up was just a hoax to confirm it. And to my surprise the android was here, quite lucky I must say.
Sunz: Are you saying, if that guy wasn't an android you wouldn't have interfered?
Laikan: Not a reason at all, I interfered because IT was trying to kill you, plus I got to do a cool entrance.
Jihu: Did you pass the final challenge?
Laikan: Of course, I can now use lightning to travel around and that is the only perk.
Sunz: What the fuck are two talking about?
Jihu and Laikan: Clan stuff that is not relevant to you.
Sunz: Fine, move on. Jihu if you going to join this battle at least fix us up.
Jihu: That's right, I was here for that until we started talking.
*summon a water sword in each of his hands and stabs Sunz and Laikan. After a few seconds, the water swords disappear and their wound is healed*
"Done, you two have returned to normal. Well, except for you Sunz."
Sunz: I know, I can't use my Elements… probably running out of mana or some shit.
Jihu: That is impossible.
Sunz: That's right, you're Korean, this is your specialty.
Jihu: No, you moron, that mana stuff doesn't exist, this ain't a fictional world.
Sunz: We live in a society full of people with different abilities, you and him are in some ancient clan, I have a girlfriend which sounds pretty fiction to me.
Laikan (WHAT!)
Jihu: Fine, this is fictional enough but we don't have a mana game-like system.
Sunz: Then what is the cause, doctor?
Jihu: Simple, your body reached its limit so it shuts down your Elements to stop you from hurting yourself.
Sunz: Oh, or else my body will slowly vaporize into many light crystal things.
Jihu: Yeah, you got it… you are totally useless now.
Sunz: I know, fucking suck.
Laikan: Gentlements there are two important things here. First is that android thing, I don't think all three of us can take it down together, even with Sunz at full power.
*BANG* a loud familiar sound of lighting being shot out of a sword followed up with a loud *KA-BOOM* in Sunz, Jihu, and Laikan's position and covering the three of them in black smoke.
Laikan then fistbumps his fists together which creates a loud *BANG* and wind force that clears up the black smoke around them to reveal Archibald standing in front of them facing ONE.
Archibald: It's very rude to interrupt an ongoing conversation.
ONE: Finally, something worth the money. You are the only thing the rich have no reason not to buy.
Archibald: I can assure you, money is half of the condition, a life for a life.
*Dashed at ONE and kicked him back into the wall*
"I'm gonna amuse you for a bit."
*Back to the group*
Sunz: Will he be ok?
Laikan: Don't worry, he can easily beat up a S-rank. Now, the other important thing. Who is this girlfriend of yours?
Sunz and Jihu: ???
Laikan: What? Did I say something wrong?
Sunz: Are you fucking with me?
Laikan: No, I'm not mocking or anything, the rumor of your reputation with the girls just makes that fact quite surprising.
Sunz: What? Jihu, is that true, and how far did that rumor spread?
Jihu: It's true and the whole school knows.
Sunz: That's... a new fun fact I learned today. Move on, Laikan didn't Jihu send you a picture?
Laikan: Picture? *pulls out his phone and sees messages from Jihu* Oh wow… and she looks great......… and she a Hero.
Sunz: How the fuck did you know that?
Laikan: Simple deduction, there is no chance you would suddenly find a girlfriend in that short amount of time. Also, the way she is holding onto you, implies that she was the person that initiated or pulled you into the relationship.
Sunz: Ok, you got it right, very accurate.
Jihu: How did you not read my messages?
Laikan: I was training at a place that has zero signal. Well then, we have caught up with everything. How are we going to kill that thing?
Sunz: Kill? I can't use my specialty, you can't even harm it, Jihu… is a healer.
Laikan: Then you just have to stay back and let us pro do our job.
Jihu: Not gonna happen, we both are way stronger than Sunz but our speed can't match him when fighting against that Contestant.
Sunz: Then what are we supposed to do, Inspector? Let's the old guy *glance at the fight for a second* who is not having any problem fighting that death machine at all.
Jihu: You are the answer, remember the trip to the mist garden with Sogae, where you had to fight those misty creatures and your reward was a water bottle.
Sunz: Yeah I do. Why so specific?
Jihu: That bottle might give us the ability to keep up with ONE… what other reason for you to bring it along?
Sunz: I don't know. Maybe it was my loot goblin logic, bring everything that I've collected for the final boss fight.
Jihu: Well, time to use up all of those hoarded items.
Sunz: Ok?
*Turn to Grace and shout*
"I'm going to need that purse of yours, Grace!"
Grace shouts back: OK!
*Throw her purse directly into Sunz's gut*
"You ok?!"
Sunz holding the purse in his arms: I'm… fine!
*Turns back to Jihu and gives him the purse*
"Here…you go. *Hah!* now what do we do?"
Laikan: Your girlfriend… she is really strong.
Sunz: I think her strength is above average while I'm, really fucking weak.
Jihu: Here we go, each of us gets one. *handing Sunz and Laikan a shot glass full of water each*
Laikan: Drinking on the job? What is your country's drinking age? I don't think we have reached the requirement.
Jihu wearing the purse hanging from his shoulder: 19 but does that ever stop us from trying? Each shot equals to an hour of effect from Sunz's water bottle and let's hope it gives us what we need to keep up against ONE.
Sunz: So, drinking cheer?
Jihu: You bet!
Laikan: Let's do it!
The three clank their shot glass together and take the shot in one go.
Sunz: Wait do I need to drink it since it's my ability?
Jihu: Probably nothing will happen to you.
Laikan: So when will your special ability activate, Sunz?
Sunz: Just watch the fight between Archibald and ONE.
After watching Archibald vs ONE for about a minute, nothing happened, all they got was an amazing display of skill from Archibald in both offense and defense. Until they start seeing mirages of ONE in different positions and using a variety of Elements.
Laikan: What the hell is this?
Jihu: It just keeps spawning more and more.
Both were shocked at what they were experiencing and just like Sunz, they got hit with a headache at around 50 mirages… then it suddenly stop and the number of mirages decreased down to 10.
Sunz: You two ok? Both of your minds were struggling.
Laikan: We… now know that you are the best at mental strength.
Jihu: It felt like my brain was being stabbed repeatedly by hundreds of tiny needles.
Sunz: Ok, let's focus, my brain is hurting too. It seems that our minds are currently linked together, I can see what you two are seeing and now know all of your movesets and more.
"So for you Laikan, is it ok for you to only fight with your fists and not switch to other weapon varieties?"
Laikan: Aw man, that was supposed to be a surprise.
Sunz: Well, it's not anymore. So can you fight with only your fists? Which will help my brain a lot.
Laikan: Sure.
Sunz: Great, so I'll stay back and let you two fight. I can guarantee to minimize or make sure you two take no damage. Laikan, you will be the DPS and Jihu will be the Interceptor – Healer – Opportunist.
Laikan: Why does he have so many roles?
Sunz: He will be responsible for blocking attacks to give you an opening, heal you when you take any damage, and capitalize on any extra opening. Sound good?
Jihu: Ok plan, have to see how we execute it to make it a great plan.
Laikan: Quite a bad plan I must say. How are you planning to communicate with us? You secretly have psychic ability?
Sunz:…*grab his face* fucccccckk forgot about tha-
Laikan: Just kidding, I have the solution right here *pull out two earpieces from his outfit and give them to Sunz and Jihu* you hold this button here and say 1 – 2 – 3 for it to register your voice then it will automatically connect you to the channel.
Sunz and Jihu follow Laikan's instructions and then put on the earpiece.
Laikan: Testing. Can you guys hear anything?
Sunz: Loud and clear.
Jihu: It seems we are all ready and prepared. Last question for you Laikan. Are you ready to take a life?
Laikan: Been ready since joining this line of business… you aren't willing to take a life, Jihu?
Jihu: I can but he can't.
Laikan: That's his problem and morale. Now let's get rid of that thing!
Sunz: Last thing before you two kill ONE. I'm gonna need you two to constantly applying pressure or else, he gonna kill me first because I have no chance of protecting myself… I'm ready.
Jihu: Me too *ready his sword*
Laikan: Mr.Archibald we want to switch.
Archibald: Got it, Young Master. *deliver a powerful kick at ONE, sending him into the wall*
*Walks back to the group then slides the purse off of Jihu's shoulder*
"He will be a tough opponent for you three."
Then he jumped back onto the viewing area, returned the purse to Grace, and sat down to watch the next fight.
ONE used electric Element to get himself out of the wall and onto the stage.
ONE ready the blade in his hand with electric Element: This is so unfair… I didn't ask to make this match easier!
Immediately launched the electricfied blade at Sunz at a speed that was invisible to normal eyes but Jihu managed to block the blade with his sword. Both weapons shattered in front of his eyes and his sword handle got launched into the wall, lodged into it.
Jihu feeling the tingle in his hands after blocking the attack, immediately summon a water blade in both of his hands.
"We are so fuck guys!"
