Chapter 6: Don't provoke me

When they finally reached a calm-looking forest further south, the first thing the team leader instructed to her team was to position Ferid and Crowley as snipers. With her and Lest not having any long-ranged weapons with as much precision as snipers, the both of them were behind the two boys and looked out most of the time. The silver haired man, whose stomach was laid down on a massive flat rock, yawned when he didn't spot a single enemy in the last 5 minutes they arrived here.

"Are you sure going south was a great idea, Krullie? I'm getting really impatient here. Might doze off any moment now!" With a thrilled tone, Ferid chirped and peaked through his scope once more. At any time, he could be contradicted. It's best if that didn't happen while barking back against Krul of course. The pink haired leader was viewing their green-coloured surroundings with a pair of binoculars. So many trees, she couldn't branch out the entire zone. Which was a considerably bad thing for a game like 'Seraph of the end', or any battle royale in general.

"Shut up and focus. What are the chances that we get attacked right about now?" The pink bunny questioned to her three comrades, still not losing focus one single bit. Lest rolled his eyes as he took in the chatter between the other individuals teamed up with him. Sometimes it was just too noisy and the boy didn't quite adore that. "I don't know, we might. That's why Ferid, you shouldn't really make a sound and just keep a lookout." Crowley intervened, changing the render distance of his scoped weapon. He adjusted it for it to be able to zoom into the leaves. In search for any enemies camouflaged or not. Krul sighed and turned her back to focus on patrolling. This was going to be a long period of time if no one will show up to surprise KFLC.

"Awww you're not fun, Crowley!" He jabbed at the taller man. Having the proper training to endure idiots like this silver haired demon, the sniper ignored Ferid mercilessly. It wasn't like he wanted to even talk to the man at the moment. His opinions about him were still scattered. He still considered him a friend, however a messed up friend. After hearing about his loathing state for Krul Tepes, Crowley pities the surprise Krul herself will be in in mere moments. He wishes to prolong the tournament so that the small queen doesn't have to be hit by the bullets of betrayal.

"I still can't believe we pulled off that stunt in that abandoned village." Ferid chuckled, forgetting the subject completely. It surprised Lest and Crowley that's for sure, that he was able to forget such a topic. Still, some may believe that Ferid felt slight offence to being flat out ignored at, but people like Krul and Lest couldn't care less about how the man felt. He was an annoying blabbermouth, his stamina to talk almost resembling the ungrateful movements of a fish without water, yeah nobody likes them.

"It's thanks to Crowley we even got a chance to win that battle." Lest crossed his arms in satisfaction. With all the bored chatter the four members were having, they were surprised that no one decided to ambush them just yet. Upon hearing the younger boy's response, Crowley let out a mockingly puff. "Pfft, me? I just use my logic for a second." He dismissed the sudden unnecessary praise he'd just received. Some could say that they were satisfied with their response, however, "So you think it was logical to have me and Ferid teamed together?" Krul haloed at Crowley.

The man shrugged and coding help but laugh slightly at her concern. "Well maybe it is." He answered back. Krul sighed and refrained herself from straight-up assaulting the sniper's cheeks herself. If she did that, the grass beneath them would surely cause a ruffle and second of all, the procedure and aftermath of the punch. When Krul will punch him, her first making contact with his sturdy skin will make a loud thud. As for the initial reactions to pain, Crowley would have no choice but to grunt. "You're such a pain.." she crossed her arms herself in slight disappointment that she couldn't really hurt the man that pissed her off just now.

The Shinoa squad was finally leaving the forests and were faced to faced with ruined constructions, so much dust everywhere. The skies were red as ever, not showing any sights of happiness at all in this dull aggressive world. Mitsuba took a step back upon seeing the cracked streets and dirty roads. "Yuck, I prefer the forest, thank you very much." She slid her gloved fingers along her axe's side. But despite the awful view, Shinoa was still on guard. "Alright team, we just arrived in our new territory. I say we find shelter as soon as possible. Yuu, how much time until scan?" The team leader asked.
