Thursday 16 March 2023.
"Senji! We've got a problem, Suzune's being attacked, a Darwin's Game duel is on!" As I was practicing my magic circuits in my shed, I received a message from Rain.
"Roger, it's at the hospital isn't it? On my way." I answer briefly, before standing up and getting ready quickly.
"Wait, Ryuji's coming to pick you up, he'll be with Sui, watch out for yourselves." She warns me.
I don't have to wait long, because as soon as I leave the house, I hear the car pull up and stop right in front of me.
"Hi chief, sorry to intervene so late, I hope we didn't wake you up?" Ryuji asks me.
"No worries, I was still standing." I enter the car, greeting Sui. "No time to lose, off to the hospital."
"Roger!" He storms off, making the tires squeal.
"Oh no... the tire tracks right in front of your house Senji-senpai..." Sui looks behind us.
"Yeah... I'll clean that when I get back..." I sigh.
The trip is pretty fast, Ryuji doesn't respect the speed limit at all, and the fact that there's no one around at this hour helps a lot. We can see the hospital ahead, when I get a call from Rain.
"Okay everyone, I'm going to put you where the duel is happening right now, intervene as soon as possible, Suzune is losing." Rain connects to the screen in the vehicle and shows the location of the duel in the hospital.
"Can you tell us who she's up against?" I ask.
"Red Viper, poison specialist. She's part of the Olive Tree clan last I heard, so be careful." She explains.
"There are masks." Ryuji points to the spot next to him, showing a box filled with gas masks.
"I don't need it, though..." I take one, and put it gently on Sui's face, who complies.
"Okay we're on our way, I hope you've fastened your seatbelts!" Ryuji exclaims, entering the parking lot.
"Wait, you're not going in there?!" I ask, checking that Sui is securely strapped in.
"No time to walk there, let's go!" He turns the steering wheel suddenly, causing the vehicle to slide.
He smashes through wall and window, stopping right between Suzune and her adversary. At the same time, she throws a molotov cocktail, which explodes against the car, but does no damage.
"What the...?" Red Viper exclaims.
Ryuji puts on a mask, picks up his gun and exits the vehicle, nodding at us.
"Ryuji of the Sunset Dragons, at your service!" He introduces himself, loading his weapon.
I turn my gaze to Suzune, who now has cat ears on her head, and powerful arms covered in fur and long claws, she rubs her eyes, looking like she's hurting.
"You're Red Viper, the poison specialist from the Olive Tree clan, right? I never would have guessed you were a doctor!" Ryuji points at her.
Indeed, she's a skinny woman with short, black eyes and hair, wearing a white doctor's coat.
"Why are the Sunset Dragons getting involved in this fight? Your territory is Fuyuki, I believe!" She exclaims, a cold sweat rolling down her cheek.
"It just so happens that we owe a debt to this kid's father, and seeing her dragged into a fight, by a breeder no less, we had no choice but to intervene!" Ryuji explains. "Sui, will you put out that fire by the car for me? I don't want my baby damaged!"
