Title: Razor...
….
A couple of hours later and I look at Karla slightly surprised.
Damn, she really is a genius. I see her concentrate as she tries to use her bandages to create prosthetic legs. I guess I should remember this too, and in case one day I lose a limb I can make one of earth.
I see her try to walk, but she keeps stumbling along the way.
"You will need to work on those a little bit more if you want to make them work." I say to her as I take some medicine from the bag and give it to her.
She huffs. "Yeah, I know… but I need to get used to it as soon as I can. We can't play around anymore."
"I agree with that, but you mustn't worry or overwork yourself too much. That would only be counterproductive." I tell her, she just lost her legs and a lot of blood, she can't go hardcore training around. But now I can see that she is more willing to train now.
If we survive this encounter, she will definitely train like a beast. With her talent, her growth will be spectacular. I can't want to see how strong she will be by the time we are adults.
Even now, she is an amazing Nen user. Later on, she will be monstrous. Honestly, I am not even worried about her growing stronger now. I never thought I would say this, but I trust Karla… not on her skills, but I trust her to have my back and not betray me. She was willing to give her life for me. What more can I ask of her? She knew we weren't going to get out of there alive and she still said sh*t like that.
Well, I guess having a trustworthy and talented companion in my journey isn't a bad thing.
….
A couple minutes later and I tie her up in a bandage cocoon once more and put her on my back.
"Karla, stay hidden there and don't move around a lot." I instructed her. "We are going to meet an important person now."
….
-General POV-
After that, Sub walks outside of the cave and goes towards Soufrabi Lighthouse… the place where Razor and his 14 devils that have taken over the city are.
He activates the quest 'Plot of Beach' and goes towards the place.
….
When he arrives at the place, he opens the front door and immediately enters into a bar and some pirates are drinking alcohol.
One of them looks at Sub and nudges a large and obese man, who also very well-built. He wore an outfit in the same vein as his pirate peers, but instead, he wore a tank-top and was barefoot.
"Bopobo, there seems to be a new challenger." Says the pirate to Bopobo.
"Hm?" Bopobo looks at Sub and snorts. "Oh, just some brats. I will take care of them."
The big man gets up and walks towards Sub who has a bandage cocoon on his back.
"What are you here for brat?" Asks Bopobo.
"I am here to meet Razor, take me to him." Says Sub calmly.
"Hm? You better have some respect when you speak to adults brat." Says Bopobo, with a now angry look on his face.
Sub's eyes are shadowed as his Nen leaks out. Bopobo's eyes widen at this, the amount of Aura someone at Sub's age that he is currently releasing is crazy.
"Take me to him…" Says Sub once more clearly. "Tell him that someone has broken the rules of the game."
"Why you brat!!" Bopobo becomes angry at the way that Sub addresses him and throws a punch at the kid.
Fwish!
*Plop*
"Hm?" Bopobo is confused as he suddenly stumbles and falls to the ground. He looks at the kid in front of him and sees that he has a knife dripping with blood.
Bopobo looks down and… sees that his legs have been cut off. "AHHHHH!!!" Screams the man in pain and shock.
Everyone in the bar now looks at Sub with nervous looks in their eyes.
"I won't ask again, take me to Razor." Says Sub calmly, with the same tone as before, but with the Aura being released from and the knife dripping blood made all of the pirates nervous.
"Well, aren't you a monster?." Comes a voice from behind Sub, and he turns around and sees Razor at the entrance. "Quite scary aren't you? Both you and the other kid on your back."
"Other?" The pirates are confused by this as they can't see any other kid.
Sub looks at the man calmly. "Razor…"
"Yep, that is me." Says Razor with a polite smile on his face. His body not telling at all what he is thinking.
"The other day I was attacked by a person turning a whole city of Greed Island into their puppets." I tell him. "I don't think that is supposed to happen in the game is it?"
"Hmmm…" Razor cups his chin, thinking about the situation. "Well, technically it's not against the rules… but destroying the whole town like that is a big unwritten rule broken there."
"I see, then I will get straight to the point." Says Sub. "I want your help in killing the perpetrators."
"Hmmm… but I am a Game Master, I am supposed to be neutral." Explains Razor, a serious look on his face… which then morphs into a smile. "But still, having help would definitely be nice. Sure, I accept your deal."
Razor walks close to Sub and extends his hand, the latter clasps it. He expected Razor to squeeze his hand as a show of power but that didn't happen.
…
-Sub POV-
I look at Razor and smile back, my gamble paid off. It truly seems that something like that isn't allowed.
He also doesn't seem to case that I cut off the legs of one of his subordinates.
"Well, as partners I better give you a gift." Says Razor, pulling out a card and exclaiming. "Angel's Breath!"
The translucent figure of a woman appears and she blows into the cocoon of bandages which Karla is inside of.
Fwish!
Immediately Karla jumps off my back and appears next to me. I can't help but smile as I see her in perfect health. Well, this is a nice surprise.
I look at Razor and tell him. "I owe you one."
"No need, I am just returning the favor." Grinns Razor. His eyes finally open and he looks at me. "Let's go and kill out mutual enemies."
"First open your book, and go towards the list of names. If you meet your enemy, the name will appear in there just like any other person's that you have met." Explains Razor, and I open my list, and I look through it and one name sticks out the most.
Bol… this is the man that I seem to have met during the time I was being attacked. I show that to Razor and his smile widens.
"Admin Accompany On: Bol!" Exclaims Razor in a loud voice and immediately, Karla and Razor are covered in a light and fly off.
….
AUTHOR NOTE:
Yep, the MC knows that Razor is there so he went and asked for help. Next chap, a fight will go on.
