Lucian's blue lightning was passing through the wooden sword.
But how? Is it even possible?
Yes, it is. Lightning can force it's way through the wood even though it is a poor conductor of electricity.
Lucas said, " But you can't use it in the battle. ".
Lucian replied, " Yes, I know that. And I am not even going to use it. I am just practicing something. ".
The sparks were too little that except Lucian and Lucas, it was near impossible for any other person to notice them.
Lucas said, " Well, good luck. I have to train too. ".
He picked up the book on the electricity, Basher Science: Electricity.
He opened the book, it had couple of illustration and explained electricity in such unique way, but there was a problem, the book was for the age of 12+.Someone who is 8 years old cannot understand it very well but for some reason, Lucas could. He was a 15 year old teenager in his past life. It was possible for him to understand it.
He read every word and everytime he felt like that he has read it before too but where, he did not remember. In just one go, he grasp the basics perfectly.
4 hours passed and only 6 hours remained. It was evening time. The sun was setting down and the air was slowly turning cool. The sunlight turned from white to crimson, so did the sun. Everything which recieved the sun's gaze gained crimson color. Birds were flying in the sky with their chirping. The view was very beautiful but the amount of people on the roads and streets remained the same.
Hikaru was leaning against a wall of the park. His left hand in his pocket, coat on his left shoulder, packet of juice with straw in it in his right hand and the same black cat rubbing against his leg.
Most of the chosen were resting, they were tired. All of them already created a group. The blue spiky hair man also formed a group with a man around his age. He had long black hairs, big eyes, big nose and big lips. His skin color was dark and he was wearing a white undershirt and a dark blue sweat pant with slippers. He also wore a white bracelet on his right hand. A silver chain on his neck.
Lucian was eating the snacks and Lucas was still practicing. He learned few techniques already and was trying to learn a more offensive technique. But he was already too much tired and there was no improvement anymore.
Lucian called him, "Lucas, come and take a rest. Don't use all your stamins. Conserve it for the quest too. ".
Lucas looked at him and said, " Yeah. ".
Lucian was sitting against a tall tree.
Lucas walked towards him, sweating pretty badly.
There was more snacks to eat. They asked Hikaru to bring more.
Lucas sit beside Lucian and took a sip from a packet of orange juice. He was quite thirsty.
Lucas asked, "So, did you master the technique you were trying to? ".
Lucian was drinking orange juice too, he could not talk. So he raised his right hand and gave him a thumbs up.
Lucas smiled. The wind was cool now. It was like they were on a picnic. Many of the chosen were resting and eating like them. While others were admiring the nature inside the park.
Lucian looked towards the sky, the moon was out. The sun was setting and the moon was coming up, it was a perfect scene.
He thought, 'Only if I had my camera. ".
Lucian had a hobby, a hobby of clicking pictures. He loved being a photographer, he wanted to be a photographer. But his life changed from the day he got the call from the crimson screen.
Lucian looked towards Lucas and asked, " Say, if you had never received a call from the crimson screen, what would you have wanted to become? ".
Lucas looked at his face speechless. Because he never thought of this.
He looked down and then again looked at him and said, " A Violinist. ".
Lucian's eyes widened. He expected something else.
He said, " 'Violinist'? Huh. It does not match your personality but,.. it really is a good profession, isn't it? ".
Lucas closed his eyes and smiled.
Both of them heard few footsteps coming towards. They looked towards the direction and two girls around the age of Lucian's were coming towards them.
Both of them got alert. They had no plan of dropping their guard.
Those two looked Asian.
Both of them raised their hand and waved at them.
They both didn't do anything except staring at them.
One of the girl said, "Hey, don't stare at us like that. It creeps us out. ".
Their looks were average, both had red hairs. Both of them were wearing orange frocks and both looked twins.
The same girl further said, " Well, we are here to form an alliance. ".
Lucian questioned, " Alliance? But why? ".
She said, " So that we could clear the Class choosing quest. You see, the more teams we will have in our alliance, the more victory we can have. ".
Lucian questioned, " Would you mind explaining it further? ".
She gave a sigh and then said, " Okay. ".
She continued, " So, basically. We are going to each team to form an alliance. If we create an alliance with a team, we won't battle that team and if that team is on the verge of elimination, we will help them. The more team we will have in our alliance, the more team will be able to complete the quest. ".
Lucian asked, " But isn't that against the rules? ".
She said, " I do not remember the voice telling us such kind of rule? ".
Lucian was caught off guard. Lucian was suspicious of them, because such kind of alliance often result in betrayel.
Lucian spoke, " We d-".
But before he could, Lucas spoke.
"We have no intention of forming any alliance. Now you both can go. ".
Lucian was lookinf at him, he stole his words.
Both of the girls expression turned into disappoitment.
The other girl speak, " Well, it's your lose. Bye bye~".
Both of them walked away from there because they could not force them.
Lucian said, " Thanks Lucas. ".
Lucas said, " Nah, no need. ".
Lucas and Lucian, both were tired. They felt sleepy.
Their cellphones were in their pocket—they did not know how to store it back. Lucian called Hikaru.
Hikaru was patting the cat while leaning against the wall. He let the cat go and picked up the call and said, " Hello, this is Aizawa. ".
Lucian said, " Hello, mr. Aizawa. I need a favor from you. ".
Hikaru questioned, " A favor? ".
Lucian said, " Yes, actually we do not know how to store the cellphone back, so if you could tell us... ".
Hikaru expected a serious problem. He didn't expect that. At first, he got angry. He thought of shouting on him, but somehow controlled his anger.
He said, " Ah, it's quite simple. Open your inventory, place your cellphone near the inventory and give it a command, 'Store'".
Lucian understood and said, "Oh, thank you very much. ".
Before Hikaru could say anthing, Lucian cut the call. Hikaru felt really angry.
Lucian and Lucas did as Hikaru told them.
Lucas checked the time, [Time: 6 Hours Left]
Both of them felt sleepy, they wanted to sleep.
Lucian tried something. He called the crimson screen back and gave it a command, "Alarm set. ".
The information on the crimson screen changed.
[Please include the time also. ]
Both of them smiled and Lucian included the time also.
"Alarm set 11:30 pm, today. ".
The information changed to, [The alarm for 11:30 PM today has been successfully set. ]
Both of them went to sleep.
Well, there's a question that will arise, what if someone tried to attack them in their sleep?
That is not possible. If another chosen tried to attack them before the quest start, the chosen will be eliminated and the damage on their body will recover automatically. That is why, no one engaged in a battle till now.
The time slowly passed and slowly, slowly, 5:30 hours passed and the alarm rang.
Lucian and Lucas woke up. When they opened their eyes, they could see the dark sky with numerous stars. It was the waxing crescent phase of the moon. It looked beautiful.
Both of them stood up and looked around them. All the participants were already ready.
Suddenly, the crimson screen popped up itself again and the same voice came.
"Greeting, fellow chosen. Please sumbit your resources which you ordered from your agent in the discard section of the crimson screen. You can open it by simply saying the command, 'Discard Bin' and it will appear. Those who do not sumbit in 5 minute will be disqualified. Thank You. ".
Lucian and Lucas, both opened the discard bin and sumbit all their resources including the book and the wooden sword. All the participants did the same and the crimson screen closed by itself.
Only half an hour remained for the Class choosing quest to start. Most of them could feel goosebumps, many were nervous, so were Lucian and Lucas. Their whole life depended on this quest.
Both lf them sat down and waited for the time to finish while revising all their techniques in their mind.
Like that, half an hour passed away too.
All the agents were on their guard, they were on high alert mode.
All of the participants were standing and all of them were freezed.
A very big crimson screen popped up in the air out of nowhere.
The same robotic voice came out of it.
"My fellow participants. The time limit is up. The quest is going to start but before that, you all will be transported to a clone of this park with no one around but only you. Now, the instructer of this quest will come and open the portal for you all. Thank You. ".
The crimson screen disappeared in the air again and a portal opened right infront of all of them. Someone came out of it. It was not a human, not a beast.
It was the most unexpected thing, a housefly.
It entered in the park through the portal and suddenly, all of them were able to move.
A portal opened infront of all of them and their legs started moving automatically. They didn't even command them to move.
They entered the portal and arrived in a world where the park was cloned. It was like the park was transfered to this world. There was no one around except them. There was no voice around, only a silence.
They could see a crimson screen in the air. It has a time on it.
Their body freezed again and the timer started.
10,9,8,7,6.....3,2..1. Start!
The quest begun.
Lucas was feeling weird. It was like he experienced such thing before too but it was a bit different.
Lucian said, " Lucas! You ready!? ".
Lucas came out of his thoughts and looked at him, smiled and said, " Yeah! ".
There were stones laying on the ground. Their size varied.
There was a group of two men. They were in their 30s. They looked strong physically but physical strength hold no competition against the Wrath.
Lucian and Lucas ran towards them and both of them saw them running.
Both of them looked Indian, their short black hairs matched with their average looks. Both had big moustache and they were only wearing blue jeans. They had dark skin color.
Both of them got ready to face Lucas and Lucian, they were over confident because Lucas and Lucian were just kids.
Blue sparks came out of both of Lucian's hands and he bow down a little while running towards them, his both hands touching the ground.
All the rocks touched by Lucian's hands startes glowing with blue sparks and Lucian swung both his hands towards them even though they were atleast 12 meter away from them.
The rocks started floating in the air and in next second, they went flying towards one of those men and passed through the center of his chest, creating numerous holes. He collapsed on the ground, blood came from his mouth and the holes. His body disappeared. He didn't die. He simply got teleported into the real world, he was alive, fit and fine.
Lucas's legs started glowing with purple sparks and he dashed with great speed that it was impossible for normal human to see his speed. He basically obtained the speed of electricity. But he could only travel 10 meters from it for now and that was more than enough as the distance between Lucas and the other man was only 8 meters.
Lucas came right infront of his eyes, Lucas was in mid air. He grabbed his head with his right hand and transferred a bit of electricity into his mind, shutting down his mind for permanent, resulting in his death in this world and elimination. That man also didn't die, no one could die in this quest.
There were battles all around and the crimson screen appeared again with a new announcement which shocked everyone, even Lucian and Lucas.
