Obligatory Duty (Undergoing Revisions)

Chapter 4: Challenge

A girl, alone girl pushed and shoved her way out of the crowd, trying to make it toward where he was. Only to be reunited yesterday, no way is she ever going to let him die now. However, trying to search for him in this crowd of 100 could only be called foolish at best. She had an idea though, an idea that could turn this foolish plan of her to a successful one. 

Knowing him, there's no way, he is staying back with such a delicious opportunity waiting for him to gobble it up. This is basically a free chance at promotion. He definitely has to be somewhere near the golem, so that he can claim credit for killing it. 

Orpheus' POV

As the golem reached out for the now useless Kaen, I shouted, "Fine, screw the thinking, this is one of those situations where you act first, think later." 

The bunch of recruits around me that could hear this must think I am crazy, shouting to my self and charging the golem with no plan at all. I pelted off at breakneck speed. Sure, Itsuo was amazing, being able to keep up with something ten times his size, however, I did not train all that hard, just to gawk powerlessly at this scene either. 

I grabbed Kaen and thrown him out of harm's way. Fortunately for me, the golem is way too torpid. I could outrun something like that any day. 

"Thanks..." Kaen muttered out, staring at the ground.

"Heh, you do know how to thank people after they helped you. I guessed you weren't a completely rotten, conceited brat as I thought you were." I snickered.

"Hey, " He started, " No, never mind, but why? Why did you save me?" He stared straight at me with his innocent, naive eyes this time.

"Cause, you know... It was what she would have done." I answered, turning my back towards him and facing the golem. I really cannot handle these straightforward types of people. They're really troublesome, aren't they? She belonged to this idiotic category as well. Jeez...

"She...?" Kaen asked.

I guess it's my turn now, huh? My turn to take a crack at this giant as the phrase goes. 

Assets that I have: Me, a fatigued Itsuo and a used matchstick. Weakness: It is sluggishly slow. Strengths: Powerful, strong body and superhuman strength. Yes, things are looking pretty bleak here. But a challenge exists to be conquered.

And I accept that challenge. Bring it the hell on.
