Btw, I'm like, sick. I think. I might get really lazy or just strangely emotional or like a drunk person when I get sick. So like, excuse my more worse writing skills.

~~~***~~~

We look around in confusion. I latch onto Khun who is conveniently next to me. "you've been making quite a fuss outside." it says creepily. Is it just me or am I getting the 'I cheat on my wife with 12 year old kids and abuse them' vibe from this dude? It also looks like it smells like burned water.

"you may be slayer nominees, but that was just to much." it says, acting like a dad(?). I'm honestly getting pedophile vibes. "you are...?" Daniel asks. He seems unfazed by the whole situation. Then again, he went through worse. I can't imagine staying sane if I lost Khun to some bitch.

"I'm the conductor for the hell train, 'pedro'. I'm also a loyal follower of sir Karaka. The great slayer of fug." its eyes glow bright, even in the darkness.

But can we just talk about how much its name sounds like 'pedo'? Is that a coincidence or...

"fug slayers... Underling!?" someone in the back shouts.

"fug's ranker..." Khun mumbles.

"I see you brought me a 'prized trophy'." it eyes me up and down. I shuddered. Creep. Khun takes notice of this and holds me closer to him protectively. It mumbles something. "Hoaqin, I see. You're smaller than I thought."

"don't call me small! How old are you!?" the squashed rice cake complains. "anyways, I want to welcome you both to the hell train. Seeing two guys who are qualified to become slayers...this is quite unusual." Pedro says. "well, although one of you will drop out soon."

Drop out? What does it mean 'drop out'? Like, drop out school drop out, or is it talking about death?

"shall we begin the game?"

~~~***~~~

Hoaqin complains to the one eye glowing person that's creepily stalking in the dark. "I'm just a fan of Yura Ha and used my powers as a conductor to help her perform her final show."

This dude is in fact, a pedophile. He's probably, what? 56 ish? Yura Ha looks fucking 20.

By the way, what does it mean by resurrect? Hoaqin is already here.

"I'm sorry to interrupt," Bam, the irregular who stays polite even in situations where we are basically kidnapped by a 56 year old dude says, "I resigned as a nominee and I do not intend to go back to Fug."

Bam has balls.

"I knew you'd say that, but as long as you have the thorn, you hold the fug's hope upon your back." I can finally see his mustache. Oh my God he looks more older than 56.

"if you don't want to be a slayer nominee, you can go back to the furnace and melt down with the thorn. But you don't want that now do you?"

"keeping that in mind, we've captured some people wondering around."

Someone above calls us. It sounds like prince's voice. We look up and there is a cage hanging above us. "prince! Akraptor!"

"if you give up or lose this game, they will all die." it warns. "win this game now, then you can choose."

Bam has no choice but to agree.

"when the train reaches the next station, the game starts." it says, "the winner becomes a slayer nominee, and the loser dies."

~~~***~~~

The battle between Hoaqin and Bam will start within a months time. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty nervous.

Anyways, we still have to clear tests up until the 39th floor (I forgot oops).

We stare down at the weird slim Jim that's holding a needle.

Slim Jim but it's all made out of muscles.

"is that it? The enemy we have to face to clear the stage?" Khun asks. It does seem a bit... No offense, weak.

"that's 'Yokim'. It should be a bit tricky to deal with for the first time. Let us handle this." Sachi Faker says. "...I can just kill it now..?" I say, offering to use the limited unnamed skill. "no. Viole will take care of this. On his own." Hwaryun scolds. "what?"

"we've got a month until the game. And Hoaqin will get stronger." basically what she's trying to say, Bam has to fight on his own to get stronger and better so he can fight off Hoaqin.

I would have stepped in to kill him with that... Water choking death skill. But honestly? For some reason, I've been feeling so tired and I just can't muster enough strength to choke some bitch that strong.

Hwaryun keeps saying that it's Bam's fault he got all his friends in danger because he kept chasing for Rachel. To be honest, that's true but I can't say it out loud.

Anyways, these guys keeps saying that Yokim is strong and tricky to deal with. Now I'm worried for Bam.

I feel a reassuring squeeze on the palm of my hands from Khun, but it's pretty obvious he's also nervous.

Also, judging by him screaming at Bam and back at Hwaryun every five seconds.

After a while, Bam manages to give Yokim one final punch. We move on to the next stage.

~~~***~~~

Bam stares ahead blankly. He is either tired or thinking about something. "Are you okay Bam?" Khun asks, grabbing his shoulder.

I always love to see Khun's caring side.

"I'm alright. Compared to how I was trained in Fug, this is nothing." he smiles.

Sachi Faker asks to talk with Bam for a while, so that leaves just Khun and I together.

I hide my smile under my scarf as I feel the warm hand of Khuns slowly slips itself into place on my hand, intertwining our fingers together.

We walk in silence, hand in hand. It's not a situation to be lovey dovey, but I feel safe with Khun by my side. I feel like even if I was facing Hoaqin, I'd be safe if Khun stays beside me.

"why?" I mutter. Khun looks at me as he hears mumbling. "I mean, why me? Hwaryun looks like she can take an interest on you or two." I clear my throat in the end. Khun seems baffled to hear my words.

"that's a stupid question." I pulls me onto his chest, wrapping his arms tight around my body and presses his lips against my head.

"because I love you and you're the one I chose after all."

"smooth motherfucker." I pull away, embarrassed. He giggles at my reaction.

"hey! What's that!?"

The dude points at a blue circle lighting up brightly. "I think it's a warp device that takes us to the guardian." Sachi says.

"let's check at least what's there." Bam says.

We step on the warp device and appear on a big room. There is a big giant sleeping inside a pot like item.

His arms are filled with built muscle. The rest of his body too if I should guess. His hair golden and messy as he sleeps peaceful against the Rim of the pot.

"that's... The God of guardians!"
