Cherreads

Chapter 8 - Trial (8)

It has been 2 whole day since that conversation. Na-Hee can already move a little bit. She had been helping me hunt ever since. I used myself as a bait, while she work from a distance.

[Time Limit : 2 days 1 hour]

'Great, we need to only hold on for 2 more days.'

Skreee!

This time we are hunting a Clawbit. I ran, luring it to a place. Where Na-Hee was already ready, with her bow.

[Your agility has been raised by 1]

I finally reached the destination. I turned around, as the Clawbit leaped at me. Raising its claw.

Pierce!

The sound of arrow piercing through its head could be heard. I quickly jumped to the side as the Clawbit's body quickly fell down to the ground.

"Good job."

I raised my thumb toward Na-Hee, as she quickly got out from the bushes. I grabbed the Clawbit's leg and dragged it with the both of my hand.

'I wonder what it will taste like.'

Crack!

I heard a cracking noise behind me, wait hold on. What's that noise? I looked at Lee Na-Hee.

"Ahjussi!"

She raised her bow, her eyes widened. I turned my head around. Suddenly, another Clawbit popped out from the ground.

'Fuck, did this guy also set up a trap?'

As it was about to swing its claw.

Zrakk!

I heard something, a cutting sound. I looked at the Clawbit. Its head were slowly falling down from its body, followed by a spurt of blood.

As the Clawbit's body fell down. A figure was slowly becoming more visible right from behind it.

His black hoodie, and black tracksuit were bloodied. His short dark green hair swaying on the air. His yellow eyes giving a cold gaze at me.

"Are you okay?"

Holy shit, what is even happening right now?

"Yeah.. thanks."

I dropped down the Clawbit i was holding and grabbed my sword.

"No offense, but could you put your sword down?"

The man widened his eyes. As if he just founded this situation really astonishing.

'Can't get too friendly with someone.'

In this kind of situation where psychopath or murderer running free? Yeah, always need to be cautious.

The man gave me a smirk.

"Alright."

He put down his sword. But something was off, he wasn't even looking at me. But at Lee Na-Hee? Wow, bastard you got a man infront of you, and you decided to look at a girl? How amazing.

I slowly approached him. Grabbed his sword and quickly took a step back. After that he quickly looked at me, Our eyes met.

"Can we talk now?"

"Talk? What do you want to talk about?"

He smiled, why does this bastard keep smiling. Its creepy holy.

"How about the three of us stay together and survive until the time limit ended. How does that sound?"

Stay together? buddy i don't even know shit about you. Although, the girl behind me is indeed stranger to me aswell back then.

"I'm quite useful you know?"

He smiled. His eyes wander to Na-Hee. This bastard is truly crazy. And also, useful? How does this bastard said something so specific and looked at her?

I looked at him in disbelief. Does Na-Hee knew this guy or something? How does he knew about that?

I stayed silent. Observing Na-Hee.

"Useful? What do you mean by that?"

"Oh, you knew exactly what i mean."

Na-Hee still clenching her bow. Aiming it at the man in front of me. He was grinning. Yeah, definitely a psychopath.

Na-Hee, is this guy your stalker or something back on earth?

"How about you let me stay with you both for the whole days. And if you still see me useless, i will go. How about that?"

I looked at Na-Hee. I shook my head violently. Please don't accept this weirdo. This guy is so creepy.

"Alright… Let's do that."

DAMN IT. I looked at Na-Hee. My expression, questioning her decision.

"Thank you."

The man smiled. Alright, we got a streamer, a high schooler, and a weirdo. What a team we have right now! We will definitely survive this trial!

I glared at the man. Pls be useless, i can't accept a weirdo.

The man lifted the Clawbit's body with his arm and placed it on to his shoulder.

I widened my eyes looking at his strength. Damn it! Na-Hee approached me.

"Ahjussi, didn't you said the more the better? Why are you like this now?"

She whispered to my ear. I shouldn't have said crap like that back then. I began regretting my words of choice.

"Beside, there's two of us. We can easily kill him if he really does have bad intention."

As we got into the cave he quickly started a fire. He also skinned the Clawbit .I snorted looking at him. Why is this guy so good with anything?! Why do i feel like more useless than him?!

The three of us quickly sat down, circling the campfire.

"Oh right, i forgot to introduce myself. I am Rohan." The man said. "What about you both?"

"Lee Da-In."

I gazed at Na-Hee. She really is smart. I was about to do that. Ain't no way im giving my real name to a weirdo.

"I am John Waltz."

"Oh i see, nice to meet you both."

The man smiled, hearing our answer. He shifted his gaze at me. Suddenly… for the first time ever since i came here, Something popped up.

[Someone tried to look into your Status!]

[Activating 'Hidden Mask']

[Altering your status…]

What? my eyes widened. I kept my eyes on my food. The skill that had never been activated this whole time, suddenly got activated.

The cause, was so obvious. I cursed in my mind.

'You fucker, you tried to take a peek into my status? Wait, what is that cheat of a skill?!'

Rohan looked at me with the look of disappointment and decided to turn his gaze at Na-Hee. Yeah, this bastard. Is truly fucking dangerous.

"I'm full. I'm gonna go sleep."

I smiled at Rohan whom I passed by.

"Have a good night."

"You too." He replied. Crazy bastard.

Na-Hee looked at me, she was confused, looking at my behavior. I walked to the nearest wall and sat down and quickly fell asleep.

[Target is telling a 'Lie']

'As expected. Well, she is really cautious at the start after all. Now, what about the other guy?'

"I'm John Waltz."

[Activating 'Truth Telling']

'Let's see. Are you cautious or just some idiot.'

[Target is telling the 'Truth']

'I see, just an idiot.'

Rohan flickered his eyes, gazing at John Waltz.

[Activating 'King's Eye' on the target]

'Tch, what a disappointment. I thought I found someone good since he was with Na-Hee.'
