" Leon I thought you were a proud swordsman, If you want James come and get him fair and square through a duel, not by sneaky methods. " exploded Trisha, if not for Ava holding her wrist she would have already swung a fist at Leon.Hearing, Trisha question his integrity as a swordsman Leon clenched his fists hard, seeing this Mira lost it and shouted" I have had enough of you shorty, listen carefully Leon did not use any sneaky methods" she paused and mockingly said," James himself agreed to switch to our team. If you have any problem speak with James. "
" what! No! you are clearly lying. " Trisha did not believe Mira for a second, James was her best friend he would never do anything without telling her.
Mira Sneered and said " James is right there ask him yourself. "
Seeing the sneer on Mira"s face, Trisha said " James tell her she is lying ". clearly Trisha"s trust in James was very high and she thought that Mira was provoking her.
" She is right Trisha, I willingly switched team. " answered James.
Hearing James agree with Mira, a bomb exploded in Trisha"s mind. she looked at James with unbelievable and dumbfounded look. James could not tell what was going in her mind he just hoped that he did not break her. Ava seemed be unaffected showing that she already knew it.
" shorty get your facts straight before you point fingers at others " said Mira.
" That"s enough Mira, do not cause more trouble. " interjected Leon. hearing Leon, Mira pouted but chose to keep quit. then Leon continued, " James I thought we had a deal, what happened "
Before answering Leon, James glanced at Ava who was supporting devastated Trisha and lazily said " temporary glitch everything is fine and thanks for paying the medical bill by the way. "
" I will take your word for it, I hope there will be no further glitch"s " said Leon.
" do not worry, what about your end, did you find what I want. " asked James.
" we did but situations changed, it"s worth more than what we discussed before, we will have to reconsidered the agreement before. " said Leon.
" what are you guys talking about " interjected a weak voice. it was Trisha, she still did not believe that James willingly betrayed her.
Mira wanted to mock Trisha again but stopped seeing Leon"s stern face. before answering Trisha Leon turned to James, seeing James nod Leon said " Trisha even though my family is rich and powerful, even it can"t mess with City school rules and directly transfer James to my Team. Recently, I heard that your father is looking for a "5 Elemental Ninja Nation" scenario Coordinates. then I immediately contacted James, to do a transaction of sorts. I get "5 Elemental Ninja Nation" scenario Coordinates for him and he would transfer to my team for the graduation exam. "
" Haha Ha ha ... I knew it, I knew it James will never betray me. James I never once doubted you, I knew Mira was messing with me. " Trisha that looked like a broken puppet who lost its string suddenly burst with extraordinary brilliance and enthusiasm. " wait, if my father wants "5 Elemental Ninja Nation" scenario Coordinates Leon you should go to my father for transaction, why did you find James is it not sneaky "
Mira was annoyed and mockingly said " Idiot that"s not sneaky, that is just smart business "
" whatever, I knew from start it was you trying to mess with me Mira, James will never betray me. " said Trisha, like a happy puppy who had found the bone it buried. and suddenly asked " why do you and my father want the "5 Elemental Ninja Nation" Scenario Coordinate and why did you not tell me about this, James?. "
" we want to use Wood Release Bloodline to recover your body to normal, there are many other worlds which can help recover your body better than "5 Elemental Ninja Nation" world like philosopher"s stone from Alchemist Nation, etc. but they all have very complex scenario and main task line compared to "5 Elemental Ninja Nation". as for why we did not tell you. its because you are to stubborn and definitely would not agree to this. " said James looking at yet to explode Trisha
" Like h.e.l.l I would agree to this, Exchanging my comrade for my well being is not how I do things. you and the old man are really becoming courageous day by day to plan such thing behind my back. " exploded Trisha. even Ava looked at James fiercely as if questioning is this all true.
" Cough.. Ahem..m " Leon clear his throat to get James attention but
" you, if you got a disease get yourself checked, do not interrupt while I am talking. " said Trisha, hearing this Leon embarra.s.sedly looked at James for help.
" Trisha lets talk about it later. okay " said James eyeing Trisha.
" youuu.. " Trisha pouted but chose to keep quite.
" you were saying Mr Leon .." James signaled Leon to speak.
" Like I said before we will have to renegotiate the terms of our verbal contract. " said Leon.
" what are your demands " asked James
" nothing much, Mr James has to partic.i.p.ate in 10 more scenarios with my team Including the the Graduation exam " said Leon
" wha..att! why don"t just ask for his life! " exclaimed Trisha.
Hearing Trisha exclaim Leon said"I hope Mr James understand finding a specific scenario coordinate is not easy for even my family."
" Is that it " asked James, Leon felt something was wrong this is not the James he knows, the James he knows could never be this calm, its like he is talking to a totally different person.
" yes, this is it " replied Leon with a doubtful expression.
"Then, I am sorry to say this Mr Leon but the cooperation between us will end here. " said James
"what!" this time it was Leon, Mira and Luca who exclaimed. Even Ava who was watching all this from the side with her fists clenched and swollen red eyes as if about to burst into tears anytime, looked at James with questioning face, but James chose to ignore her again.
" Are you serious..." gasped Mira.
" Mr James please do not Joke, for this coordinates my family had to pay a huge price. " Leon was very p.i.s.sed, he wanted to rip James Head off, his family especially his mother paid a lot to get this coordinate and now he doesn"t want it.
When entering Terror Multiverse there are two options to enter a scenario,
1. enter randomly.
2. enter using predetermined Scenario coordinates.
Entering Randomly is the normal way, it is very dangerous but if you survive it, you will get high rewards, many do not opt for it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Some times when a returner survives a scenario, world terror provides them with the Scenarios coordinates as a reward. Entering using predetermined Scenario coordinates, is relatively safe but rewards are very little, because this coordinates are like saved point in a game. so, when you use a predetermined coordinate then you will continue with the progress at which the predecessor left. meaning when you enter through these coordinates it will not be a new scenario with infinite possibilities, you will be continuing the same scenario with all the damage caused by the predecessor to the main story line. its relative safer cause you get to prepare before hand.
Leon Barnard"s greatest goal as a swordsman is to learn from grand sword masters of Great Sword University after graduating from high school, Being a top tier University Great Sword has its own standards and that is, students applying to their college should complete the graduation exam without using Scenario Coordinates. this why Leon values James that much.
" you are right Leon, it would be rude of me to reject without providing a counter offer or a reason " James paused, looked at Leon and said " before that you should know my pa.s.sive skill has upgraded, now not only I am able to learn any language through physical contact but also teach any language through physical contact, though this ability is limited only to one use in every 24 hrs"
" what!! ", except Trisha, all 4 exclaimed in surprise.
" haha that"s my best friend for you " Trisha was genuinely happy for James and laughed heartily.
" So, Mr Leon my final offer is I will complete the graduation exam as part of your team in addition to that I will 5 Language Learning quota for free. what do you thing? " asked James.
" has your ability really upgraded as you say Mr James " questioned Leon. Mira, Ava and Luca also looked at James for conformation. they still did not believe that such an ability could exist.
" I haven"t register my ability upgrade in school yet but a demonstration is not a problem. " said James as he reached for Trisha right hand and Trisha happily came forward.
Holding Trisha"s hand James said " We all know Trisha has not been able to learn to speak or write or read a single Chinese character after years of coaching but now .." James Paused and closed his eyes and focused on pa.s.sing all his mandarin knowledge to Trisha"s mind, feeling new information in here brain Trisha close her eyes and began to concentrate and after 2 mins both opened their eyes.
" Dumb a.s.ses I can speak Mandarin now, oh! ho! ho! ho! " Trisha started to shout in Mandarin
" James your ability is something else, even the Idiot shorty can learn Mandarin in 2 mins. " said Mari.
" you big t.i.tty fox who are you calling Idiot Shorty, do you want a taste my fist " retorted Trisha.
" you shor.. " Mira was about to rebut but was interrupted by Leon " enough " hearing Leon, Mira gritted her teeth and pouted. Trisha smiled in victory.
" Mr James your ability is really a eye opener, but its regrettable the you can only use this ones in 24 hrs " sighed Leon and continued " your offer is acceptable to me, I will send the coordinates with my lawyer to Mr O"Hara. "
" Happy cooperation. " said James similarly Leon replied " Happy cooperation "
Since they got what they wanted the trio left soon, Leaving only Trisha, James and Ava in the ICU.
Outside the Hospital, Mira grumbled " Captain, how can you except such an lousy deal ? "
" what do you know, we got the biggest slice, James has been more then generous. Even though the scenario coordinates was expensive I can earn the same just by selling one Language Learning quota , three days before graduation exam do you know how much each quota will be worth. its really regrettable that his ability can be used only ones every 24 hrs" said Leon.
James also knew the value of these Language Learning quota three days before graduation exam, he decided to give 5 of them to Leon for the purpose of marketing and gain a customer base through Leon.
As for the limitation James lied to everyone, there is no such limitation he can use the ability as long as he has enough mental strength and can also do many other things with his new upgraded ability. he add this limitation for his own self protection, if the world knew he could teach with out any limitation then he will become a cow in some dark room waiting to be milked for rest of his life.
Although 5 free Language Learning quota were more than enough to pay for the Scenario Coordinates on that James still offered to complete a random scenario, because James thought since he is reborn might as well live it to fullest and for that there is no better stage than a top tier university.
" James you really are a worthy member of my team " sighed Trisha and suddenly said " by any chances did your pa.s.sive ability upgrade by attempting Suicide "
" No! "shouted both James and Ava. they were worried that this idiot self proclaimed Captain of theirs will really attempt suicide if they said yes.
" it was just a thought " said Trisha dejectedly seeing her friends give such a huge reaction.
" you don"t use your brain, you not only will be dangerous to yourself but those surrounding you " said James sarcastically.
" you! " Trisha glared at James. if it wasn"t the hospital she would have already pounced on James to teach him a lesson.
Ava who was standing at the side quietly, moved close to James and said " I am sorry I shouldn"t have doubted you " then suddenly started crying.
" do not cry Ava, even I almost doubted him " Trisha tried to console Ava and said " blame him for being a good actor. "
WTF!, first you kill the predecessor and blame him for being too good of a actor. what kind of bulls.h.i.t logic is this.
According to the Information that James received earlier, Ava killed the predecessor thinking that he was betraying their team and made it look like suicide with her Pa.s.sive ability.
