Chapter 91: Two Red Tails

Redy, Greeny, and Purpley. Those were the nicknames I gave these guys based on the colors of their shirts.

I held my breath and kept my senses on full throttle. I knew Carpy was looking out for me, but no one was perfect, he could make mistakes, and that was without even considering outside interferences of the enemy.

Just as I was about to attack them, Purpley manifested a bell in his hand.

Whatever its ability was, it was safe to assume that it had something to do with sound. Just as he grabbed the bell's handle, I sent a mental order to Carpy.

'Cover our ears with water! Hurry! Block the sound! '

Purpley shook the bell. Thankfully, the only sound I heard was the rushing water in my ears. The other two opposing team members had silencing talismans on them.

It seemed like the attack worked when the victim heard it, not a hybrid affinity of someone sending sound waves with Blaster affinity. Because even if you didn't hear the sound due to silencing charms, the shockwaves would still travel to your ear.

Was that physically realistic in my last world? I had no idea. But it worked in this one.

The activating condition of the bell was likely: when someone hears the sound generated by this bell, they will fall under some effect.

Bets took out his nail gun and shot at the team without hesitation.

Greeny took a deep breath and came forward. He blew out the air in his lungs, and a strong gale of wind changed the direction of the nails, making them miss their target.

Redy came forward and stood next to his green-shirted teammate. They both took deep breaths.

The first to blow out was Redy, and he created a small torrent of flames that was more spread out and not a concentrated attack. But then Greeny added to it with his wind.

"{Combination Attack: Laughing Firestorm!}"

A tsunami of flames flew towards our team.

Too hot! It felt like I was getting barbequed all the way here!

Even Carpy couldn't block something like that! There was no water source nearby!

They jumped back, but the attack covered an area too huge to dodge even while in mid-air. While in the air, my team couldn't go any faster! None of them could dodge it!

But before the flame's heat got close enough to them to be dangerous, three whips of water grabbed them around their midsection and pulled them away.

Even then, it was a close one as the water started boiling. Luckily, Carpy was fast enough to pull them out.

"They're spread out! Hunt them!" Yelled out Purpley, who seemed to be their team leader.

I sent a mental order to Carpy to watch over the others. He was the only one who could stop the Purpley's bell ability. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Greeny was the one left behind to deal with me. They probably left him here because he had the best sensory abilities.

Blasters had better sensory abilities than the other affinities. But the sensory range and sensitivity were different even amongst Blasters. One of those things was talent affinity. But in a close second came the mental state.

How could someone concentrate on a sixth sense if they didn't have their normal ones in order? A panicking person or someone in pain would have difficulty sensing anything. Thats why in this case, even if their talents were similar, Greeny would have an easier time handling a sneak attack.

One of the strategies to deal with someone like this was to play the waiting game. My opponent was a concentrated Blaster, but no one can keep that concentration forever.

Unexpectedly, Greeny still started crying, and snot ran down his nose. "It seems like I misunderstood you! You're a really kind man!"

Kind? Just how low was the bar for that? I was sparing their lives and expecting something in return. If they showed any signs of having thoughts of revenge, I would kill them. Leaving loose ends in a world like this was just asking for trouble.

Not long after, my team returned with the Purpley and Redy. They both had their hands tied, their mouths covered, and Carpy carried them in water bubbles that exposed only their heads.

Bets had a red ribbon tied around his wrist and showed it to me. They didnt have the green we were hoping for. But this is still better than nothing.

It seemed like the enemys Spicy Balls and Morning Breath abilities werent-

What the fuck was up with all the weird abilities's names?!

Though me judging them was a bit hypocritical since Perfect Me sounded like a narcissist's orgasm.

***

Sei and his team ran through the forest; they had already gathered all three ribbons they needed in six days on the island. Their only job was to get close to the meeting place and wait there.

During this exam, no one on Seis team was injured. During the train attack, they only got hurt because they made the mistake of choosing one of the first compartments. They were ganged up on.

Though it wasnt an injury they got while getting ganged on, since Seis ability wrecked best in closed compartments due to his absorption mirrors distance limit.

The team who injured them was that weird silver-haired team that, for some reason, kept addressing Agon as their little brother.

But suddenly, they all stopped as two malicious presences sitting on a tree looked down at them.

Seis body shook for a second before returning to his senses.

One was a big man with a thick beard. He looked like a caveman and wore a tiger hide around his waist. The other was a girl wearing a one-piece dark swimsuit with short pink hair and blue eyes.

The man was the biggest and most muscular person Sei had ever seen, even more so than the guy who followed Kon around.

Pixie, why did the boss have to send both of us here? Why did I have to be the one to sneak in? The big man grumbled.

Pixie, the pink-haired girl, shrugged. Well, the Demonic Exorcist wanted a demon here, and he wouldnt take no for an answer. I thought you knew better than that, Roc.

His name was Roc? That was a fitting name for someone who looked like a caveman.

So what? The boss can easily just refuse him! Are you saying that the boss is afraid of the Demonic Exorcist and his shitty demons? Roc snorted.

The pink-haired girl sighed and rubbed her brows. It was clear she was annoyed. No. But he sent you as backup in case the Demonic Exorcist decided to do something. He believed in your abilities that even if the Demonic Exorcist came here, you would be able to protect me.

Roc frown morphed into a foolish smile, and he rubbed the back of his head. Aw, shucks. I never knew the boss trusted me so much!

Listening to this conversation, Sei came to two realizations. One, the Warrior was a fool and didnt understand when someone was just telling him things so he would get out of her hair.

Should we just leave? They seem busy with their conversation, Agon said.

The second thing Sei realized was that these people knew they were there already; but had continued their conversation as if nothing had happened. The two were dismissing them as a non-threat.

Roc turned toward them and smiled. Seems like our target is already here."
