Chapter 222: Trial Of Survival/Dronic Dungeon Part 29

[AN: Bonus Chapter 2/7]

In a matter of minutes, thirty people had already died. Kana, who was in the midst of all of this, was covered in the blood of others. She wiped her cheek, smearing blood across her tanned skin. After so many battles over the past months, the smell of blood no longer bothered her. Red, blue, purple, green, it didn't matter the color, as soon as it came out, it all smelled the same. Kana felt a presence behind her, making her quickly turn around and arms in front of her as a tall muscled bound man landed a punch right onto her arms, causing her to slide back. 

"Hehe, not a bad young lady. To think you were so young and yet this powerful." The man said, licking his lips as he scanned Kana's body. 

Kana sneered as her nose wrinkled up her face turning to one of disgust. "I was wondering what the shitty smell was. It seems to be coming from your mouth." 

"Haha, a feisty one! If we were not in a death match, I would be more than happy to make you my twentieth wife!" The man let out a hearty laugh as he threw another punch.

Kana stepped to the side and grabbed his wrist, bent forward, and, using her flexibility, kicked him in the side of the head. Using her momentum, she sprang up with her planted foot, did a flip, and landed on the back of the man's head as he was falling forward, slamming it into the ground. There was a muffled cry coming from under her foot. Kana raised her foot about to finish the man off when another fist came flying at her head. Frowning, Kana did a few backflips before scanning where the attack came from. 

Outside the metal cage, both the knight and the king had been standing there watching the fight truly amazed at how things were playing out. "That girl is truly something else. She is able to dodge Gil's punch even when he is moving at such speed."

"Mmmm… I am quite surprised I had figured he would give her a hard time. Out of the top ten of this round, I expect him, the little lady, and a few others to make it. One of them is currently face first in the ground. This is truly an entrance test today." The King praised. If it was not for the fact that he had to test Kana fully, he would have loved to have kept these rising stars.

"But now that she has dodged his attack, Gil will not go for her anymore. He knows it would be useless. That young lady is very fast." The knight saw how, as soon as Gil's attack did not land, he quickly moved on to his next target.

"He is a smart one." The king said, nodding his head.

Back in the metal cage Kana made her way back over to the man she had just smashed into the ground, raised her foot, and slammed it down. A cracking sound was heard as the man's head was crushed. 

All those who were thinking of attacking Kana at this time now thought differently and began fighting each other. As the battle progressed, the strongest of the group all avoided each other. They did not want to waste their energy in a free for all battle trying to fight the others. Slowly the numbers began to reduce, and after an hour, the final ten were now standing there covered in blood. Out of the top ten, only two were female, Kana, and another girl who was much smaller than the others, even smaller than Kana herself.

Kana looked over at the girl who happened to be looking at her with a smile on her face. The girl looked no more than fifteen years of age. She had long black hair that went down to the middle of her back. Her hair was cute in a way that her bangs covered half her face. It was very hard to see the girl's eyes. But the strange thing was that when she looked at Kana, she was biting her finger and fidgeting. This alone sent a chill down Kana's spine. She knew if she got involved with this girl, it would be nothing but a headache.

"Alright! First round over! The ten of you will go to the second and final round. It will be one on one, and you will be able to use a weapon or magic. It doesn't matter." The Knight said, clapping his hands. He looked at the group, and just as expected, all were people who he had figured would make it except for the two young girls who seemed to be a dark horse. "You will now get a two hour break. You can go see one of the healers off to the side if you wish to be one hundred percent for the next Test."

Kana let out a sigh of relief since she did want to rest a bit and wash some of the blood off her. Although she was used to it, it did not mean she liked being covered in blood. But as she got up and turned around, a small voice came from behind her. "Umm…."

Kana looked back, seeing the young girl from before, and wished she could run away at this moment. She really did not want to get involved with this girl! Sighing, Kana asked: "Yes?"

"Umm…. Can I…. Umm… Can I..." The girl seemed to be blushing from ear to ear, causing Kana to have a bad feeling. She knew whatever was about to come out of this girl's mouth was not going to be good. She really did not wish to hear any of it. But since the girl was already standing here, she felt bad just walking away. Even after making such a bloody scene in the cage, Kana still had a kind nature to her. "Can I hug and kiss you!?"
