Trap

"Then? What should we do hoi!" Eduardo asked Ran in an annoyed tone.

Ran could not answer, the pressure of being the brain of the team made him unable to find any ideas.

Enzo is neutral, he is just waiting for a mutual decision to be used without siding with anyone.

While Eduardo continues to pressure Ran in order to provide ideas for the group.

Deg Deg Deg

Ran's heart was pounding, his head was swirling, the voices around Ran started to fade.

Whahuh? What am I supposed to do? I don't know, I can't think

"Hhhhhhhhhhhh..." Ran could no longer hear anything.

Hoi Ran's... I'm asking you, what are our plans.

Eduardo's question can no longer be heard by Ran.

Ran's mind is trapped in a prison made by guilt and pressure for responsibility as the brain of the team that Ran brings.

Ran felt like he was about to faint, his body began to unbalance following his chaotic thoughts.

In the middle of it, a light appeared grabbing onto Ran who was drowning in a storm of confusion.

Pock

A light pat came on Ran's back, the pat feeling warm as well as soothing.

Ran also regained his senses, he turned to the origin of the clap. Beside him, there was William who was standing in line with Ran, a gaze filled with confidence emanating clearly from William's eyes.

Without being told, Ran was aware of what William wanted to say, it was the thing that became the impetus for Ran when he first took the exam, which was the first time, short sentences that make Ran able to stand against Tim. That is, 'Trust Herself'

Ran's originally chaotic mind, back to normal, all the fog that prevented Ran from thinking in an instant disappeared.

Thank you William, from the beginning, you always helped me.

Ran raised his head upwards, staring at Eduardo and Enzo.

"What hoi!? You know what to do?" Ask Eduardo harshly.

Enzo just smiled lightly.

Confidently, Ran revealed his plan, "Yes! All we have to do is, Make a trap!!!"

Tap Tap Tap

Ran was walking along with William, the two of them passed by a long grass that was almost as tall as them.

"Will, once again I'm sorry for making you do this so many times, but until now there has been no result."

"It's okay Ran, after all I also think it's a good idea, even though Eduardo doesn't think so."

"I can only hope that the results start to come back."

"Sure, that's why, I'll be more serious this time."

William flicked the bushes in front of him, and Eduardo appeared at the same time before them.

Eduardo smiled as he gritted his neck, William holding the handle of his sword.

Bhumm

In an instant, the two of them clashed, Eduardo with his feet, floated a kick, and was held back by William with his sword.

William raised his sword upwards and swung it with the intention of slashing at Eduardo. But Eduardo made use of it as a spring to jump up, in the air, Eduardo spun very quickly like a yoyo and came back down like a jet.

Bruckkkk...

William held him by his sword, as a result, William was pushed down until part of his foot sank to the ground.

"God!" Eduardo laughed as he retreated backwards.

After reaching the desired distance, Eduardo again ran forward, but instead of just running, with one leg, he rose into the air while turning his entire body and brandishing his legs to kick.

William, half-footed buried in the ground, could not dodge, his only option was to hold him back, but it would make his feet even more buried. Or that's what Eduardo had in mind.

William moved his right leg buried in the ground, and with ease, his leg made it out of the ground.

William also took a kick in the opposite direction to Eduardo's kick.

Bhuakkk

William and Eduardo's kicks clashed in the air, Eduardo immediately returned to the ground to avoid an attack in a place unfavorable to him.

Without waiting for Eduardo to be ready, William ferociously swung his sword to slash Eduardo.

Chwaakk Bwatsss Shwikk

William's sword swing invaded Eduardo, but Eduardo casually avoided all of William's sword slashes.

When he saw the empty gap, Eduardo charged forward, unfortunately, it was a trap.

Bhakk...

"Akhn..."

as Eduardo advanced, William's left fist had already greeted him, it had hit Eduardo's stomach, and was strong enough to make him vomit.

"I didn't think you kept the trick either."

The two continued their fight, however, what made them fight? Ran and Enzo were not worried at all, they were very calm as if the fight of William and Eduardo was a necessary thing.

Ran and Enzo nodded to each other to give the code, they both walked around with a sneak, avoiding the fight of William and Eduardo, it seems they did not want to get involved. Or they should not be involved.

Gradually, William and Eduardo became tired.

"Huh, Hah, Hah, you're so strong, I guess I wasn't wrong when I first saw you."

"Hosh... Hosh... You're great too, I admit you."

Both of them started to run out of breath, they both broke into a great sweat while breathing heavily. And apparently, the time that has been awaited by Ran's team has finally arrived.

Srarak...

4 men appeared simultaneously from within the bushes, at high speed, they stormed the exhausted William and Eduardo.

But, before they reached William and Eduardo, a red thread appeared from below, it surrounded William and Eduardo, and when one of the 4 men touched the thread, it was, the thread reacted and moved to bind them.

the 2 people at the back, managed to avoid being tied to the thread, while the 2 people at the front, were bound by the thread.

"Kyaaa.... What'sthis?"

The thread wrapped around them was Enzo's thread, besides being able to sew, Enzo could use that thread to tie someone up.

This is Ran's plan, from the beginning, William and Eduardo's fight is part of Ran's plan.

This is a plan that is full of risks, a plan to attract the opposing team by giving them fresh passes, which are 2 strongest people who are exhausted and they can finish off. The fight between William and Eduardo definitely spread and seen by almost all the participants present, it made them both known as one of the strongest participants.

By displaying their two exhausted figures, surely anyone would be tempted to finish them off in order to get rid of their strongest rivals to pass.

Of course this has a big risk, so this plan is full of bets. It could be that the exit is a team that does not have pins, because those who have pins will tend to hide without being involved in a fight, he said, it could be if the team that saw it would prefer to wait for William and Eduardo to die for fighting each other.

Therefore, Ran holds on to one possibility, which is the possibility of a team thinking 'Must get rid of strong participants in order to pass', Ran holds on to this very small possibility, he said, expect a team that wants strong participants to die so they can pass more easily in the next exam.

Of course the possibility is very small, Ran team has tried it 5 times, 2 times met with dead team, and 3 times did not meet any team, and this time they were lucky. The team that is eaten by fresh bait this time, is a live team.

On the shirt of one of the participants, Ran saw a red pin.

"Look, the woman wearing the kimono has a pin, quickly snatch it!" Shouted Ran told his team.

"No need for you to tell me, I already know." Eduardo advanced toward the woman bound by Enzo's thread.

Eduardo almost grabbed the pin, but he lost quickly to his female counterpart.

With an attack not seen by Ran's team, Enzo's thread is shattered.

The woman in the kimono immediately retreated backwards to escape, Eduardo in an instant changed his position to attack the woman, he clenched his fists, with the intention of making the woman faint.

Bhammm

Eduardo's fist hit something else, not an organic thing, it was an umbrella.

An umbrella appears and acts as a shield for the woman.

"yeah! If it's just this, it's easy!" Eduardo did not give up, intending to rain down the shield umbrella with his fists.

However, before Eduardo raised his fist, the umbrella before him opened, displaying a male face with bulging cheeks.

"Huh?"

When the man's mouth opened, fire came out of his mouth, and Eduardo was directly hit by the fire.

"Akhhhh, hot!" Eduardo retreated immediately before getting worse.

Eduardo was not exposed to the fire for long, but he was directly exposed to it, his face slightly charred, his clothes half-destroyed in flames, and his hands suffered minor burns.

"Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Looks like it's gonna take a fair amount of effort, but it looks like it's gonna be exciting."

Cretek

Once again, Eduardo gnashed his neck with a smile
