"They are Mafias! They are here to kill me!" I looked down.

"Guess we don't have a choice then." Rigid took a deep breath.

The choice for what though?

Rigid moved his right leg back. I focused my eyes to see what he was doing. NO. 'No you don't.' The leg muscles started to sprout- wait- by any chance, he plans on fighting!

Come on!

"You are right, mate." Sure as hell he is not! They are MAFIAS! FUCKING MAFIAS! YAKUZA! Or not. They are only Mafias.

"You can't beat them," I said. I dunno why I did, I don't wanna die taking a few more with me as I die. That would be just too cruel right.

I used my Trait. Cause I knew these were the top two strongest students of the Academy and the top two closest to becoming Pro Masters, maybe, they can stand a chance and we can escape till our teachers come?

"That man... The one named Gen, He will put you to sleep, don't look in his eyes." I told them both, "And the woman... She can brainwash you--"

I gasped. Something came to my realization, 'I see now this all makes sense.'

"Okay. So we surely don't have a chance of besting them which means we will just have to find our escape." Hmmm. Brave and clever Devon.

I glanced at Robert. He was down on the ground.

"I am sorry. Are you OK?" Sure. No, he is not fricking ok! I stabbed him, man! He can't heal himself either!

"Not really." He took my hand and stood up, smiling at me. A soft warm smile.

"Gen, Kill them please."

I just hope the teachers come quickly.

"Guys. I am bleeding a lot." Robert informed us. Of course, he was bleeding a lot.

Rigid grew muscles from all over his body. So this was the present situation we were stuck in:

I have no blood left in my body to stand against them. My body is covered in pain I don't think I might be able to fight. I am here stuck with two...ran Or three Mafias, three senpais AKA seniors who are apparently the strongest of all. Top three one of whom is on the verge of dying.

Gen changed at Rigid. They were about to face each other when Gen's lips parted.

"Go to..." Devon closed his eyes shut tight. He opened them, "....Sleep!" it didn't work on him either. Or maybe Devon broke out of the Trait or it didn't work maybe because he didn't look in his eyes when he said those starting words.

Gen was close enough to pull a punch. Devon panicked, he went down to the ground.

"Don't talk to her!" All I can do was give them warnings. Wait. Am I mistaken here? Is it really that she can brainwash you only when you talk to her? Or otherwise-

"Stay away from that woman!" I changed my disclaimer. I ran to the right.

Rigid was already ahead of me, he pulled his full of muscles arm back to throw a punch at Sarah.

Huh? He- He was in front of Devon! Why the and how the fuck did he come here?! Gen came forth and punched Rigid in the stomach.

"Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, what's the hurry boy?" I feel like I am totally useless by the way. Rigid split out after getting punched in the guts.

Oh fuck. This is bad, they made eye contact! "Go to--" Devon! He came out of the ground. He punched Gen under his chin to send him flying up.

Ouch, that looks painful. Maybe he bit his tongue too-!

"We need our teachers, call the nearest Trait Master." I heard Johan Atkinson talking. He was not nearby but this is one of my Traits. Ugh, I hate having multiple Traits but they are handy sometimes.

"None on the Campus we gotta call-"

"Do it quickly."

"Hmm. You kids are strong huh," I- I hate that smirk on Gen's face. He said it with such a nasty face! "I bit my tongue though." His face turned scary.

"Forget it. Our mission is to kill this Walker kid. This is our priority." Sarah ordered Gen.

Okay, now I see. This Gen is working under this woman Sarah. Then.. is Sarah working under that man...? I moved my eyes to the man who was standing in the stands.

Rigid ran.

"Sir won't let them Ryan get away so I guess we can let our guard down and kill the other three kids first," Sarah told.

I need to get out of here. Is what I thought in that whole chaos thing.

Devon will just get under the ground and leave safely. Rigid is fast, faster than anyone so he won't have a problem getting out of the fire either.

The only one remaining is Robert. I wonder if he will be able to run with his calf stabbed....?

"Robert, can you run?"

"Maybe. Why?"

"Cause we need to get the hell out of here," I told him.

"I can. But I am weak right now."

'Okay. I need to take this chance. While Devon and Rigid are busy fighting those jerks I will take this chance. They are doing their best to keep them away from us.'

"Let us run, Robert," I asked him to go with me.

He made an effort to move. Ryan grabbed Robert from his shoulders.

"Let's go," Robert muttered. They both took off running, past Rigid, past Devon the ran towards the end where the fire starts again.

But wait, what is this? The fire started getting denser. The man has his comrades down here is he going to burn them with us too?

Ah, nothing less from a Mafia. The fire started coming closer, it pushed us back, that man was controlling the fire, making it denser, bringing it closer to us, making our escape harder.

It is not like I thought it would be easy either. "Huh?" The man was not there. I glanced up towards the stands but the man was not there.

"Hahaha!" I panicked. I heard a burst of eerie laughter from the fire. I bit my bottom lip. He was down here not in the stands, "Don't think I will let you escape like that. I will burn you down to death!!"

'No... no.. no...!!'
