Karma's Twin Sister

Part 66

Underground, they broke up into groups and are walking down an empty hallway.
Moment of truth is upon us.

"Hello? E Class, can you hear me?" The Reaper's voice came out from the ceilings. "Nice work, honestly I'm happy you escaped. It'll be a great warm-up before the real game. I expect nothing less."

"I knew it... it's a game to him." Rinka said.

This isn't some vindictive act like with Takaoka. It's different, he's an unknown quantity.

"We'll intercept him here. Whichever way he decides to he comes from, we'll still have him outnumbered. So stay alert." Isogai commands.

Hara took out her phone, "Hey Ritsu, we need some backup, kay?"

Instead of her normal avatar, Ritsu is now in her pajamas, with drool coming out of her mouth, picking at her nose with "Hacked" printed on her face. "Yeah not feeling it. Be realistic, like I'm gonna go up against the Reaper. I'd rather power down than like do stuff." She said lazily, watching virtual TV.

"Ritsu's been hacked!"

His footsteps echo through the hallway. "he's coming." The Reaper appeared before them as a mere shadow in the dark. They all gasp in surprise at his smoky appearance.

"Take him down!"

"Dumbass is just walking into us.!" Yoshida and Muramatsu run forwards, ready to attack him, but instead, the Reaper disappears and reappears behind them, knocking them conscious.

"hand-to-hand combat was the first skill I honed as an assassin. So as you might imagine I'm rather good at it," He said, and then proceeds to punch Kimura, making him slide against the wall and fall down.

"A talent 99 percent unnecessary for this profession, but without it, the remaining one percent of my targets would survive. If you want to be a killer... it's an indispensable skill. Take my word for it," He said, and then rushes towards Kayano, striking her stomach. "Females are so very fragile. Don't expect me to handle the rest of you this delicately."

Nagisa steps forward, bloodlust swirls around him. "Stay back, I'll take him." He said, looking up glaring with rage.

Editor screams: yes, avenge your future wife.

"Are you out of your mind..." Karma warned.

"She's alright, that sound crunching noise was from the sound of her gear absorbing the impact. Still, though the Reaper thinks her ribs are cracked, which really pisses me off." When I'm like this my bloodlust demands satisfaction for all of us...With these two hands... Just when he lifts up his hands to do the clap he did on Takaoka, the Reaper claps, and Nagisa starts to fall.

The Reaper went behind Karma, as he turns around. 'well damn. This isn't gonna work.' He thought as everyone gets taken out. 'it's just like how (f/n) predicted, play-by-play.'

He goes back to Nagisa, explaining, "The classic Studder-Clap. Yours and Lovro's might be able to startle a car. But in more sufficiently skilled hands, the move can accomplish quite a bit more."

"Human consciousness has a frequency: the higher the peaks, the more sensitive one is to stimulate. When your prey is in a particularly agitated state of mind... Powerful enough soundwaves can work wonders." He continues. "of course they'll be started but that's hardly an 'oh no'. No voluntary nervous system will be temporarily paralyzed."

Nagisa finally dropped to the ground. This is...top-level stuff...

"So that's it? Well okay then... but seems I'm short on few of you." The Reaper thought to himself.
