Chapter 315: Messy Battle (1)

Two unexpected chappies here...

...

Although Bloed was rather happy about the reunion with the two sisters, the truth was that it did not improve their situation much.

Something fortunate was that the two sisters were also part of the game. They had arrived just two months ago, so technically, they were still newcomers.

Sara and Gina's team was team blue. Technically, they were Bloed, Aya, and Liu Ying's enemies; however, it was obvious the girls had decided to betray their team.

But even with them helping Bloed's group, the situation was still bad.

After all, three people against hundreds of people and five people against hundreds of people were equally hopeless.

Plus, it was obvious Gina would not be of much use during a battle. Fortunately, the elder sister, Sara, was much better in that aspect.

As an A-Rank powerhouse, even if she just attained that level, Sara could be considered as the strongest student among the newcomers.

Moreover, she was an assassin, so her lethality was beyond her cultivation. Perhaps even a peak A-Rank practitioner could die at her hands if he was not careful.

"I guess having her with us is reassuring, huh," Bloed muttered to himself.

But then, he furrowed his brows.

Bloed looked in a certain direction and put on a serious expression.

He could pick up some voices coming from there.

"They must be nearby! I can see many unconscious students around here!"

"Find them! They can't have run far!"

"Be careful! Don't try to take them down alone! They are very strong!"

Aya, Liu Ying, and Sara also picked up these voices.

"It looks like we can't stay here any longer." Liu Ying said with a frown.

Bloed nodded.

Connecting his mind to Oculus, he used it to observe the situation in the surroundings.

With just a glance, he saw hundreds of students moving through the streets nearby.

Furthermore Bloed took out his invitation letter.

'It will reveal our location in less than one minute. By then, we will be swarmed by students again.'

"Do you have a plan, Bloed?" Aya asked worriedly.

Bloed thought for a second before nodding hesitantly.

"I do. It's not much of a plan, though. However, it's our only option."

"Huh? What is it?" Liu Ying tilted her head.

Bloed smiled softly and his eyes glowed with an ice-cold light.

"Let's become the hunters."

"Huh?"

Seeing the confusion in the faces of the girls, Bloed explained his plan to them.

"You see, we underestimated the words of the headmistress. When the students heard that the headmistress would reward them if they caught us, they became crazy. They even stopped fighting between themselves just to catch us.

"If things continue like this, we will be constantly besieged and eventually eliminated before all the members of either team blue or team red are completely eliminated."

The girls' eyes flashed in realization.

"In other words, we need to make sure that a team is defeated before us." Liu Ying said.

"Yes." Bloed nodded. "We need to eliminate all the students belonging to one of the teams."

The girls looked at each other with serious expressions. Bloed's plan was easier said than done.

Moreover, most likely, some clubs were protecting some members of both teams just to avoid this situation. In other words, they would have to face the clubs directly if they wanted to eliminate these members.

However, that seemed to be their only way to victory.

"What team are we going to attack then? Team blue or team red?" Liu Ying asked.

But before Bloed could answer, the lively honey-haired girl raised her hand.

"Leave it to me~."

Then, she closed her eyes and put on a focused expression.

Frowning, Bloed stared at Gina curiously. But quickly, his expression turned into one of surprise.

He could feel a trickle of psychic energy flowing through Gina's brain.

And that energy activated some kind of power.

It was her ESP ability, [SS-Grade Precognition]!

It was an ability that allowed Gina to 'see' the possible futures.

However, Gina had recently discovered that her ability allowed her to 'see' much more than the future. In fact, the future was one of the most difficult things to 'see'.

But if she wanted to see the past or find something in the present, it was much easier.

And right now, she was using her ability to 'see' the present.

Bloed did not know it, but at that moment, countless scenes were flashing through Gina's mind.

Each scene was different. Some were very vague, and others were very accurate. Some were very fantastic, and other incredibly realistic.

Happy ones, sad ones, tragic ones, all kinds of scenes appeared on the lively girl's mind.

But Gina ignored them. Instead, she focused her power to find what she wanted to see.

And soon, she found it.

Among the countless scenes, she saw one that had the information she wanted to see.

Curving her lips up, she opened her eyes and looked at Bloed with a look of pride.

"You should attack the blue team. They had fifty students less than the red team. I can even tell you the location of all the students on the blue team if you want."

Bloed was surprised. But in the next second, he grinned and clasped Gina's cheeks happily.

"You are amazing, little Gina!"

He then kissed the honey-haired girl's forehead.

Gina stiffened in surprise. One second later, her face turned completely red and her mind turned blank!

"Hehe...~"

Bloed did not have the time to pay attention to that, though. Now that they had chosen a target, it was time to act.

But before that

"Sara, I need your help with something."

"I'm listening, my lord."

"Nobody knows that you are on our side, so you will be able to move with much more freedom. Your mission is to eliminate as many people of the blue team as possible while we attract the attention of the crowd. Can you?"

"Don't worry, my lord. I will not disappoint you."

"Good." Bloed grinned. He then took several earphones from his storage device and gave one of them to each girl. "Take it, we will communicate through them. You know what you need to do."

"Understood."

With a determined expression, Sara nodded and took her earphone.

Five seconds later, she and her sister ran off to complete their mission (Gina was still in a daze after receiving that forehead kiss).

Fifteen seconds later, a golden light once more revealed Bloed, Aya, and Liu Ying's location.

Thirty seconds later, the fierce battle between Bloed, Aya, Liu Ying, and the other students resumed.
