Pre Exam: Part 8

Muji POV

"I still don't think this is right Muji."

I looked at Mya.

"It'll be alright, we're just doing what we can to survive. Let's go Jax."

"Already on it!"

Jax and I rushed in at the group of people, our weapons in hand.

"H-Hey! Who are you?!"

"It doesn't matter take your positions!"

The man with a shield took to the front and stood there, as if to block us.

"Jax, cut through his shield. I'm going around him."

"Roger that."

Jax swung his massive axe against the shield, easily tearing it in two and sending the shield man flying. I dashed right past them and attacked the knights, who didn't even draw their blades yet.

I kicked one in the stomach before turning and punching the other, knocking him out. The last one tried to hit me but he was slow so I just moved and knocked him out.

The last three just tried to run, so I let them be.

"Jax come help grab this stuff."

Jax walked over and grabbed one of the bags, and I grabbed the other two. As we walked back to Mya, I felt a presence in the area, and then I felt three.

I also felt something flying towards us.

I dropped the bags and drew my dagger, blocking the attack before it hit me.

"Attacking helpless people? You have no shame."

A group of three landed in front of us, causing me to click my tongue.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

The one in the middle, seemingly the leader, raised his blade at me. He had red hair and red eyes, and he was wearing a suit of armor.

There was a tall one standing next to him with black bluish long flat hair and brown eyes. The last guy was a bit short and was wearing a hat and glasses.

"I am Ray Basilisk. I conquer the strong who abuse their power and protect the weak who can not-

"I don't care."

Ray seemed to get mad.

"Then why did you ask?"

"Because I used to care."

I went to go pick my bag back up, but I sensed mana directly on me. I jumped back as a thunder bolt came from the sky and landed on the bag, destroying it.

"That wasn't yours."

"It wasn't yours to destroy either."

I cracked my neck and sighed.

"Look it's obvious you guys don't want us taking these bags with us, so we'll leave them. Let's go Jax."

Jax dropped the bag and turned to walk away before stopping.

"Hey, what's this?"

Jax stepped to the side as a thunder bolt hit the ground next to him. Causing me to sigh.

"Do you guys really not intend to let us go? This is a senseless battle."

Ray laughed and began to rush in.

"It's only senseless if we fight without reason!"

I blocked the attack and stumbled back a bit, this guy wasn't weak at all. If the others were like him then Jax would be fine but Mya was in trouble.
