with a look of disbelief Jessica and the others just kept staring at kurono, they couldn"t believe their ears, from the beginning until now he was ignoring all their questions, what changed now they thought, however they were actually relieved that he was willing to answer ."then-"before jessica could keep finish her words kurono raised his hand mentioning for her to stop "not now"
"why not"the others were confused as well
"what was he waiting for" was what everyone thought,
they didn"t need to think anymore before finding out the answer, as letters started to show in the smooth black ball "okay then let the scoring begun "it said.
"scoring? what is that?"
"based on your performance on the mission, gantz will give you certain amount of points."kurono said
"gantz?do you mean the black orb?"jessica asked hurriedly
kurono answered with simple nod keeping his eyes on the big black orb.
almost immediately the former text dissipated and a picture of louis appeared with a new text below.
rookie
0 points
good start for a noob
"hey its uncle louis, it says rookie, good start for a noob "keven"s nephew said ,not as much scared as he used to be.
everyone got closer to the ball, noticing louis picture with the name rookie beside it and a big 0 below that.
seeing the 0 number louis was p.i.s.sed off
"i almost got eating for nothing".
"0 point ? but didn"t he fight too? he almost killed that thing, we all saw that"nora said with a confused face.
"you said it yourself,he almost killed it"kurono said
"so you get points for every kill huh,but what are they used for?"jessica asked feeling uncomfortable at the thought of killing to get something in return.
louis"s picture dissipated to be replaced by keven"s, showing the following text:
mom.
0 points.
"how did you survive?"
after reading the review his relatives were embarra.s.sed.
they also got 0 points turning them even more embarra.s.sed.
with every successful mission gantz would give points to the hunters it summoned back and would always try to embarra.s.s the ones who got zero by mocking them, like it was punishing them to do better.
samurai
31 points
only 69 more to go
"woow"everyone exclaimed at the large number of points kurono got.
jessica turned looking at him strangely before saying "you didn"t answer me what are they used for?"
"let the scoring finish first."kurono said, feeling disappointed at the amount of points he got he sighed
"that"s the best i can get with the weak monsters i guess"
b.o.o.bs
0 points
"i bet you charmed the aliens to let you go"
Jessica"s face turned red with anger.
"what"s wrong with this thing? "she yelled in frustration.
all the guys at the room immediately turned to look at her chest admiring what they were seeing,even kurono curiously looked at her up and down.
covering her chest with both hands Jessica started to blush before staring daggers at them.
"ah its my turn"nora said trying to change the awkward atmosphere.
red head
0 points
"try not to wet your panties next time"
"t_that didn"t happen, i swear" she said her face turning red from shame she turned to look at her cousin then at kurono
"is he thinking that I"m too weak"she bit her lips
not bothering with her cousin, Jessica approached kurono, she just stood in front of him without saying a word.
understanding what she wanted kurono waited for a while before saying "gantz,what do we get if we reach one hundred points?" everybody turned to look again at the ball.
just when they thought nothing will happen a text slowly started to form:
1_you will be freed along with your memories erased
2_you willl be given an extremely powerful weapon
3_you will be able to revive a human being from the memory
everyone looked at the ball their eyes filled with hope
"we can gain our freedom back "they thought
"do you have any other question?"kurono asked calmly
"who is behind this? why is he doing this to us"she was scared of what happened earlier fearing for her safety and nora"s, she hoped to know the one controlling their lives.
"does it matter? the one you"re speaking of had given you a second chance to live."kurono paused a little then said "what you should be asking is how to gain 100 points."he looked at her before turning his eyes looking at everyone.
"i"m not going to tell them about the invasion"
hearing what he said everyone looked at him with hopeful eyes
"then will you teach us"keven said, he remembered clearly how kurono took down that 3 meter large monster with but a sword.
"he"s very strong,we need him to survive"
"i don"t have time for that, i have my own problems"rejecting him kurono noticed the downcast eyes the others had .
"what should we do then?"jessica asked with an angry face.
"hehe i think you"ve misunderstood me, I told you i will answer whatever you ask, not that i will become your babysitter."with a smirk kurono turned to look at everyone with his intimidating eyes
"they should understand by now"
"be glad you survived your first mission"he said before turning his back to them he advanced toward the door
"after clearing the mission you"ll be able to go out, however after a certain amount of time you"ll get summoned back"he continued to walk while talking.
reaching the opened door he turned around before saying "don"t speak about gantz or what you experienced to anyone, your head will explode otherwise."finishing what he had to say he turned around to leave.
"h_hey kurono can"t we like get in touch with each other"after remaining silent for a long time louis finally spoke.
kurono hesitated for a moment before he proceeded to leave the room.
"where should i go now ?"it was in the middle of the night, he needed a place to stay in, he considered living with the others but in the end he rejected the idea.
"it"s better this way"
looking at the unfamiliar buildings the city had he sighed
"i have to figure out where i am right now"
it was a cold night, blowing hot air from his mouth he was absentmindedly thinking when a strange black barcelet on his right arm caught his attention.
"what is that?"he said loudly trying to take it off only to notice that it was a part of the suit.
"it shouldn"t be in the suit,is it a new thing?"he thought
"doesn"t matter, i"ll figure it out by the next gantz mission"he smiled
