TWENTY-THREE

____________________

The rain started pouring down while the air turned cold making it quite a nice time to take a rest. A/l suddenly thought of you, who would actually be sleeping so deeply at a time like this, he thought that it would've been a nice rainy day if only there were nothing to do. A/l look at Jake and stood there cause someone have interrupted their silly little fight.

He glance at a familiar guy that they have encountered a long time ago and seems like he didn't simply stumble upon them by accident at all.'What is he doing here?' A/l ask himself and didn't say another word.

"Hahaha what a funny scene, not often you see guys fighting on day like this." Gun commented as he walk towards the both of them while holding his umbrella to keep him dry. He look at a certain guy and A/l noticed that Gun's sudden appearance seems to surprise Jake Kim.

"It's been a long time, how are you?" Gun ask him and he sounded like a relative who you haven't seen for almost how many years.

" ....Gun." he called his name and seems like Jake was so surprised that he didn't even know how to greet the guy that was infront of him. A/l glance at the Three who was in your disguise and gestured her to distance herself from Gun cause she might get discovered.

"It's been a while, have you come to see me sir?" Jake ask in a surprisingly polite manner which made Jace and Vasco just who the hell was Gun that even Jake awfully respected him.

"Of course." Gun replied and then his eyes landed on Vasco whom he met once before and it was during the School Festival at J high. He remembered him quite well cause Vasco have shown him something incredible and insane strength and endurance that made him think that if he grew stronger, he might be a very tough and exciting opponent.

"Do you know that Guy? I once met him before, he has a strange name was it..." Gun paused for a moment trying to remember his name cause to him it sure was some kind of silly and very strange name to call a guy.

"Tabasco?" Gun guessed but Vasco couldn't utter a word and A/l didn't know how to react to his answer.

"Great Physique but skill is lacking. You do have talent but you aren't ready to fight him." He told Vasco then his gaze went back to Jake kim who was soaking wet just like the others.

"I had my eyes on him, He WAS the top candidate." Gun explained and Jake just give him a questioning look because Gun seemed to use past tense and he feel like he won't gonna like it if what he was hearing is true.

"I was? Why'd you use past tense?" Jake ask him, raising one brow at Gun. The guy just smirked at him seeing that he also seem to catch up so easily and the purpose of his visit will be easily conveyed to the guy.

"Well, that's the reason I'm here." Gun grinned and then face Jake kim once more but this time, he looks more serious unlike earlier. "As of today you have failed, such a pity." Gun declared and felt that it was such a waste to fail a guy like Jake Kim but since he broke some rules, there's nothing that he could really do about it. Jake flinch upon hearing the words that escape from Gun's lips, his body turned cold as those words kept repeating inside his head over and over again.'Is this a bad dream?' he internally asked himself before looking at Gun once more.

"Seems like a bad news." A/l mumbled and just watch how things will uncover. Despite being silent at the time, A/l honestly find Jake's devastated expression such a fascinating sight to see. 'I wonder how would you react to this splendid sight?' He grinned but he felt like if you were there, he wouldn't want you to watch this scene and feel pity towards Jake. 'I would hate that.'

"What... What?" He ask over and over again, hoping that all of this was just a lie. He can't afford to lose now, specially when he is already almost at the top.
