Book 1: Chapter 60: Team Obsidian Part II

Scarlet

Yeah, theyre definitely a team.

Unless theyre all just close friends wearing matching outfits. Or rather, matching armor. All magi-tech by the looks of it, and all black for some reason.

Not that Im complaining. Black is a wonderful color after all.

Anyways, their armor is the typical black magi-tech armor created by Silver Works, with black armor and a different colored core embedded in the chest plates of each of their armor. The big guy with incredibly dark eyes and a darker toned skin than the others has a black core, while the rather petite girl with pinkish-white hair has a white core, the man who looks to be about the same age mid-twenties ish as the pink haired one has full on red hair that appears to be letting out tiny sparks of flame and has a red core, and the last one has black hair with violet highlights and a violet core. Theyre also quite androgynous, making it hard to tell if theyre a guy or a girl.

Guess it doesnt really matter though.

Talking about someone behind their back isnt the best way to make a first impression, I tell them bluntly while scowling, surprising every last one of them but the pink haired one. If youre here to check on me or something, dont bother. Just go help Sylver upstairs.

They stare at me with the exception again of the pink haired girl who just stays silent for who knows how long in stunned silence. Eventually though, I get bored of waiting and begin walking towards them, hoping to pass them by and enter the stairs.

But I guess it was too much to ask.

Wait! the large guy shouts right when Im about to pass by them. How are you able to- OOF! he bends over and begins coughing when the guy with red hair elbows him in the gut. That very guy then bows his head towards me and says, We apologize for our rudeness. Please forgive us.

I raise an eyebrow, turning my gaze between the others to find the pink haired girl still seemingly uncaring of it all likely because she wasnt actually rude to me and the purple cored one just standing with their hands linked behind their head. But after a second they do give me a nod, so Ill take what I can get.

Alright, I state while turning my attention back to the redhead. You three are forgiven.

I glance at Alex for a second.

Also, turns out they are a girl.

She grins at me, sending a shiver down my spine before I focus on Leon again the most sane one of the group judging by first impressions.

Im almost tempted to just go off on my own and ditch her, telling the others that I dont need someone to be with me here. But considering what Ive seen of this Alex girl, I get the feeling it would just make her excited about chasing me instead or something like that. Which is even creepier.

Seriously though. Whats up with this team?

I should ask Allen about them later.

That aside though, I turn to narrow my eyes at the girl, creepy or not, as I warn her, Dont steal my EXP.

She just laughs.

Of course, she does.

I turn around and begin walking up the stairs, ignoring them as I reach the twenty-fourth floor and begin walking into the hallway, briefly noticing the very light footsteps behind me but nothing else. When I glance back, I just find Alex following me with a few meters in between us and her hands clasped behind her head with a wide grin still on her face.

Certainly carefree about being in a Fracture.

Also very quiet, even with my hearing being as good as it is. Makes me wonder if she specializes in stealth or something.

Regardless though, I turn around and begin hunting demons on this floor, now with a babysitter who looks to be the same age as me.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
