Divinity

--- [Lett’s perspective] In another part of the colosseum, far away from Alex and his team.

“Lett! Don’t fall behind!” – ???

“I know, Rin, but I can’t just let this guy bleed to death!” – Lett

“Who cares? He’s not on our team anyways.” – Rin

How can she be so heartless?

I don’t care if he is on our team or not, I can’t just let him die for no reason!

I rip off a piece of his shirt, then die it tightly around the wound.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be okay. I’ve stopped the bleeding.” – Lett

“… Why are you helping me?” – Injured man

“Come on Lett! Dan is getting further and further away. We need to catch up!” – Rin

“I know, Rin. Just one second.” – Lett

I don’t have time to watch over him, but I stopped the bleeding at least.

He should be fine if I can just make sure nobody finds him.

I pick him up and quickly carry him into a nearby building, hiding him in a spot where he probably won’t be found.

“Just stay here and you’ll survive, ok? Becoming a hunter isn’t worth it if you die in the process.” – Lett

“Thanks…” – Injured man

“No worries!” – Lett

“…” – Injured man

I think he passed out.

He should be fine though; just needs some rest.

“Come on Lett! We gotta go, now!” – Rin

“I know, I know. I’m coming!” – Lett

Me and Rin both start running towards Dan.

Oh no…

He’s getting ambushed!

“DAN! WATCH OUT!” – Lett

The ambusher jumps right towards him from the top of a building.

With a dagger in his hand, he tries to stab him as hard as he can.

Luckily, Dan has a shield.

He blocks the attack, and goes for a counter attack.

Just as quickly as he arrived, he runs away.

“I owe you one, Lett!” – Dan

“Don’t relax yet, his teammates must be somewhere around here!” – Lett

“Right… Both of you, stay behind me.” – Dan

Dan is a big guy.

He’s over two meters tall, and has well developed muscles.

Although muscle-strength is worthless to high-ranking hunters, it’s certainly noticeable at our level.

He’s definitely the strongest on our team.

Suddenly a volley of arrows comes raining from the sky!

The guy from before and ones of his teammates charges at us from different directions.

Their teamwork is so good…

They’re attacking us from all sides!

Dan could easily defend against any one of them, but he can’t do all 3 at once.

“Dan, focus on the guy with the dagger, I’ll take care of the arrows!” – Rin

Rin is fast, like seriously fast…

She isn’t strong, she probably couldn’t even hurt Dan without a weapon.

But…

Her speed is just insane…

“And Lett, you take care of the last guy!” – Rin

“Okay!”- Lett

Right before the arrows hit us, she jumps up to deflect them.

In the time it took them to move just a few centimeters, she managed to swat them all away.

Every.

Single.

One…

I don’t know how many there were, but way too many to count.

I’ve never seen him go all out before, but from what I’ve seen, she might be almost as fast as my brother…

And he’s a D-rank hunter!

Just as she got rid of the arrows, another wave comes raining down.

She deflects them all with no problem, but it keeps her occupied just long enough so that she can’t help out against the other attackers.

The last guy on their team has a spear, and is charging right towards me!

I’m not as fast as Rin, and I’m not as strong as Dan.

But I’m way more well-rounded than them.

I can do this…!

The spearman is close.

Really close…

He tries to stab me, but I just barely manage to dodge.

This is my chance!

I grab the spear, temporarily stopping his attack.

I’ll get closer to him and attack him while he tries to get his weapon back.

…

What…?

He just let go…

I expected him to at least try to get it back, but he just let go without any hesitation.

What is he thinking?

Rin is busy swatting the endless number of arrows away, and Dan is stuck defending against the guy with the dagger.

Suddenly, the guy with the dagger jumps back.

And…

BANG!

The spear explodes!

“Aghhh!” – Rin

“Ugh.” – Dan

Rin is really fragile, even though she was the furthest away from the explosion, she is still badly hurt.

Looks like Dan is mostly fine…

Huh?

Oh…

Oh god.

My arm is gone…
