Future Diary 2: New Survival Game

Chapter 29: Meeting The Sixth II

A/N: Jederica's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I charged into the army of messed-up monks who seemed to have gone crazy for some reason.

"I don't know what the hell got into those religious fanatics, but I won't hesitate to force them to quit it." I thought to myself while holding my weapon of choice tightly.

I was slowly coming closer to my first victim when I swung the lance skywards as if to make an uppercut with the weapon. The result sent the first monk into the sky and that's when the battle started.

The moment I sent the first monk into the sky was the moment they started swarming me like flies attracted to sugar.

Simply put, they all rushed me and dog piled on top of me. Luckily, I felt the presence of the monk I sent skywards fall back down to the ground.

That, in turn, resulted in one of the monks behind me to be hit by a falling comrade.

"Tch, how simple-minded of you bastards!" I taunted. That antic set one of the nearby monks off and caused him to go mad with rage.

I noticed the sudden change of behavior at the last second and bowed my head to dodge his anger.

The situation was this: The enraged monk lunged towards me in an attempt to get a hold of me, but I ducked to avoid the grasp.

Right now, he was directly above me. As such, I brought my lance upward and landed a direct blow to the crazy monk's stomach area.

~~ Two hours later ~~

I knocked out all the attacking monks in the temple, which caused me to become very fatigued at the end of the day. I just remembered that Dan, Cassy, and Josh were waiting for me outside the residence.

Acting on that memory, I raced out of the building in search of the three.

Sure enough, the three were still there where I left them.

"How did the fight go, Jed?" Dan asked after I arrived.

"Tiring, but at least I managed to knock out the monks. I know for a fact that monks are mandatory to keeping a shrine, so I just knocked them out. If they were anything else, I would've actually gone above and beyond to the point of killing them." I answered.

"You did this to protect the shrines? I thought you came to pray to them for luck." Joshua commented.

"I did, but I did it out of good will when I prayed. I was enjoying the spiritual means behind the shrines and such, but I also know that the monks were needed to maintain them. That's why I didn't kill them. If those berserk people weren't monks who keep the shrines, I would've just killed them. If that was the case, I wouldn't be so tired. I actually had to restrain myself to keep my fighting abilities under control to keep those monks alive." I explained.

"I thought you were the killer type of person, but I never knew you had a soft side." Cassy mentioned.

"Don't push it, girly. I only did this to preserve some part of the place's history." I warned.

"Anyway, I'm actually grateful for your rescue attempt, and for preserving my home. You truly are a mysterious one. I am in your debt, Jed." Joshua told me.

"Don't ask me why I saved your ass, but I think it had something to do with my [Diary]'s power. Even I don't fully understand its mechanisms or potential." I replied.

"As thanks for saving my life, I will lend you my [Diary]'s powers for the remainder of this tournament. It's the least I can do." Joshua insisted.
