Chapter 172 - This Wasn't Part Of The Plan!
"Run!" A loud shout was heard from inside a building that was surrounded by trees.
Boom!Unearth this data, retracing it to the very heart of Nøv€lß¡n★
The shout was followed by an explosion, and the doors of the building were blasted away with dust rising into the air.
"Shit! How could someone in the Fourth stage be this strong!?" A young man's shout could be heard from inside the building.
Soon, two figures who covered their faces leaving only their eyes open could be seen sprinting out of the building through the damaged door. The figures were none other than Klaus and Reynolds, and behind them, silhouettes of two people could be seen coming towards them, fast.
In the past week, they had always ensured they didn't rob anyone who might be stronger than them, although fighting was quite exciting, getting beaten up wasn't. The duo was still in the Third stage of the Origin Plane, with Klaus being the most likely one to break through to the Fourth stage first. He had been in the Third stage a little longer before Reynolds caught up, and he could already tell that there was a high chance he might break through before leaving the trial land.
"Stop there pants thief! I've been searching for you two for a long time now!" A young man's voice could be heard coming from behind them, soon, the figure of a dashing-looking young man appeared.
The young man was handsome, although not at the level of Grey and Klaus, compared to others, he was very handsome.
The young man was putting on a righteous expression that one would think he couldn't condone anything evil, and behind him, was a stunning young lady.
The young lady had a slender body with almost perfect features and a round pretty face that would stand out even when placed in a crowd. Unfortunately, she was almost robbed by Klaus and Reynolds who didn't give a damn if she was pretty!
Just as they were about to rob her, the young man appeared out of nowhere trying to play hero. When the duo sensed his stage, they didn't bother about it too much since he was only a stage above them, and the young lady was in the same stage as they were. Being people who were confident in their abilities to fight across stages, they engaged in battle, hoping to rob the young man as well. Only, things didn't go as planned.
The young man soon overpowered Klaus, putting him in a tough position, when the duo realized what was happening, they instantly decided to flee. Although, if things were to get serious, Reynolds would instantly summon his Elemental Warrior to end the battle quickly, but since they didn't want to kill anyone and were just having fun, he decided against it.
"I order you to stop!" The young man said while chasing after the duo.
"Is he normal?" Klaus who was running asked Reynolds who was by his side.
"I don't think so." Reynolds replied while sprinting into the forest.
Their voices were very loud, so the young man, as well as the young lady, heard them clearly.
"Damn it!" The young man exclaimed in a low and annoyed voice.
He was trying to put up a good image in front of this young lady so as to catch her attention, yet these two kept abusing him. When the battle was going on previously, he was unfortunate to battle Klaus, who would haul insults at him from time to time.
He had been trying to contain his anger so as not to show his real image in front of the young lady. But Klaus was driving him to the brink of exploding, given Klaus' use of words, it's quite amazing that the young man had been able to hold himself back till now.
But the doubt in the young lady's mind already overshadowed her.
"Thank you for your help, goodbye." The young lady said and left.
Although she didn't know if Klaus was lying or not, but she felt thanking him was a must since even if it might be a ploy, he did help her.
The young man's eyes turned red from anger and he looked at Klaus and Reynolds with annoyed eyes, he was incensed!
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" The young man yelled and charged at the duo.
"Okay, enough." Reynolds said calmly and his Elemental Warrior appeared behind him.
The young man who was charging towards them immediately stopped, and a look of dread appeared in his eyes. He didn't imagine the duo were actually hiding their strength.
"Why did you say that?" He questioned angrily.
"You're a moron, why did you keep chasing us?" Klaus asked.
"You've already gotten her attention, yet, you wanted to do more. If I may ask, what did you plan to do to us if you caught us, kill us? beat us? I'm really curious to know." Klaus asked while smiling but all the young man saw were his eyes.
"I... I...only wanted to teach you some lessons." The young man stuttered.
He knew any wrong words from him and he might lose his life to the duo.
"Oh really? Bud, why don't we do to him what he wanted to do to us?" Klaus looked at Reynolds, squinting his eyes.
Reynolds nodded with a chuckle, he also felt like teaching someone a lesson, and the young man volunteered himself.
Before long, screams of pain could be heard resounding in the forest, luckily, the young lady had left or the young man would have been badly embarrassed. After being taught a thing or two by the duo, they went on to rob him of his pants.

"Haha, that was fun!" Reynolds said laughing.
"Yeah, if only we can get someone to teach a lesson this frequently, life would've been great." Klaus said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, now, where next? Should we continue with it?" Reynolds asked.
"It was fun, but, I'm already tired of it. Let's find the others." Klaus said.
They've already had their fun, now it's time to regroup with the others and possibly leave this place early.
