Get It Back's

"Haha... It's not easy to test this time?" The man in the cowboy style asked his teammates.

"Yes... I have to admit, you were really good at strategizing, I didn't think we could steal a pin from William Austin. Though I intend to avoid him when I see his strength in the first test."

"Hehe... I told you, didn't I? They must not be compact, I've been watching them at the beginning of the second test, they choose members in a hurry, of course they will be less compact."

"Truly hehehe... They didn't realize when I set a trap just under their feet."

Their team laughed merrily while hiding in their artificial headquarters, but their headquarters was not above ground, but underground.

They made an underground room whose foundation was a stone spear.

Their headquarters was completely made by the ability of 2 of their teammates, the one who made the base for their team was the same person as the one who set a trap for Ran's team.

People who have the ability to dig the ground have the appearance of a miner, with a plain blue uniform without any decorations, boots and project helmets with flashlights tied to his helmet as a light.

Then the other one is a person who has the ability to make a spear from the ground or rocks, he has the appearance like a gem, with only wearing oversized pants that are pulled up to the stomach and have been torn, he said, he did not wear clothes until it was clear how dirty his body was.

"Well, how many hours are left until this test ends?" Ask the miner.

"3 hours and 30 minutes, still quite a long time, but with that we can rest first, I'm sure most dead teams will give up if it's 1-2 hours left." The cowboy replied casually then lay back down casually.

None of them were tense, as their headquarters were located 40 meters away from the ground level. It's very difficult for other Hyper to be able to detect them. Or, that's what they think.

They felt the aura of someone who was very strong, the number was 2 people, the aura they emitted was so thick that it made others think that they had no intention of covering up their aura.

The cowboy man realized who the owner of this aura was, "Well... Whoa... Whoa... Doesn't this aura belong to William Austin? His aura was not playing, he seemed to be already in fighting mode. Who is this opponent?"

"I'm a little familiar, isn't this the aura of Eduardo? The short boy who was William's partner."

"Ah yes! True True! It seems my prediction was right, they ended up fighting because of internal problems in the team themselves. Maybe they blame each other for a fight or something." The cowboy shrugged his shoulders while smiling with satisfaction.

They thought if their heavy rivals for the next test would be eliminated this time around. They also relaxed without any burden, all lying down while enjoying the thump of the fight on their heads.

Without them noticing, the danger approached without giving any warning.

30 Minutes passed.

Tuk

An object suddenly fell out of nowhere, everything there automatically turned its head. Their eyes caught a small knife tied together with a small ball using a thread of red.

Pop

The knife exploded, the resulting explosion was so small that it felt nothing, but from the explosion, the smoke came out endlessly.

"Be careful! Shut your mouths and noses, lest the smoke be inhaled." The cowboy man commemorates his comrades.

All of them were swiftly covering their noses and mouths, some were wearing a cloth, and some were only wearing hands.

After a few seconds, the smoke kept coming out. The smoke quickly enveloped the entire room, the worst thing that could happen.

Generally, if there is smoke that appears in a narrow room, it can be overcome by opening a window or door, or it can also be left because the smoke will come out through the ventilation in the room. But this time, they were in a narrow room in the basement that was almost completely closed, there was no way out that was enough for the smoke to escape.

Damnit damnit! If we just stay here, we could die from asphyxiation. The cowboy thought of the worst.

Almost 1 minute passed, some were not strong enough to cover his nose and mouth, so inhaled the smoke and ended up coughing.

"Ohok Ohok Ohok..."

Damnit damnit! The worst case scenario came too soon.

The cowboy thinks hard, knowing that his team can't be in this place any longer.

Through various brief considerations in his head, finally the cowboy man determines the best choice for them.

"Cody's! Dig a way for us to get out!" The cowboy man called his partner who referred to the miner.

"What's? But if we go out..."

"Think of that later, if we stay here we'll die out of breath."

The miner named Cody finally according, he knew that there was no more choice for his team, to stay here much worse than above.

Cody decided to make his way up, he raised his glove-clad hand, then instantly, long claws appeared in his hand. He immediately dug out quickly, his comrades following behind.

Srak Srak Srak Srak

Cody continued to dig upwards, deliberately digging far away from his original place to escape the fight between William and Eduardo.

They were getting closer to the surface, the layer of soil was also getting different from, and as Cody dug out again, out a soft shining sun light as if to welcome them.

Cody rose to the surface first, but what greeted him was not just the sun, when his head appeared, a glittering sharp iron, coming towards him.

Srassat....

"Akhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! My eyes!!!!!" Cody screamed in pain, he rolled down backwards.

The naked man who was right behind Cody immediately understood the situation. Without asking anything, he touched the ground wall next to him, he controlled the ground around.

Krak Krakak....

The earth spear appeared sticking out of the ground which was stepped on by Ran, Ran immediately jumped up with all his might to avoid all the spears that appeared. In the air, Enzo pulled him back using his thread to the back of all the spears present.

The cowboy man came out from the ground, his comrades followed him behind, Cody was swept away by a man carrying a doll basket, Cody looked very miserable, he was very sad, he held onto his eyes that were injured by Ran's sword slash, blood still rushing from behind his hand.

"Gee... Whoa... We got bullied apparently, so... So you guys made that smoke bomb?"

"Right, you guys used to prank us, now it's our turn, right? So now we're even."

A smoke bomb that was previously made by Enzo, he used some of the chemicals he had to make a simple smoke bomb. Then Ran wears using a small explosion when he releases the Mana that forms his weapon as an axis.

The hardest thing about this plan was to put their smoke bombs in the cowboy's place and his colleagues without being caught. To that end, Enzo used his thread to push his small knife and smoke bomb, which took a long time, which is why Eduardo and William acted as bait to keep their opponents off guard.

"Hm... That's right, well, then it's our turn...?" The cowboy said that while smiling eeriely. He raised his hand up.

Oussssssshhhh.....

Holograms of crows and eagles flew out as the man raised his hand. The wind blew strong as it flapped the wings of all the birds.

"Well, let's be serious, there's only 2 hours and 40 minutes left, so I'll spend the rest of my energy. Roy, you helped me too."

The naked man behind the cowboy nodded to give a reply. The naked man named Roy squatted down and held the ground with both hands.

Enzo realized what they were going to do, and warned Ran in a whisper, "Be careful with the spear attack from underground."

Ran nodded.

The cowboy man is ready, he puts the horses with one arm on top, Ran and Enzo are also very vigilant with any attacks that might come.

Ran was ready, he unsheathed a light yet sharp katana sword to repel all the impending attacks.

Crack Plaque Brekkk

Ran fended off while walking backwards, he avoided being mobbed by these birds in order not to be harmed.

Ran fended off the sharp claws of the birds that attacked him, then he struck with the middle of the katana sword while walking backwards, and occasionally he slashed to tear at the hologram birds that attacked him.

Yet... No matter how much Ran smashed these hologram birds, it felt like it was inexhaustible.

Khhkkkp... The longer I'm gonna lose, but I have to hold on for a little bit more.

Ran felt the ground shaking around him, he knew what was coming.

Srassshh...

Ran slashed around him forming a circle while jumping as high as possible, from below, came spears from the ground as high as 1 meter.

In the air, the attacks did not stop, some eagles came towards Ran, Ran held back their claw attacks with his sword, but without a walk, Ran was pushed backwards until he fell.

Ran was in an adverse condition, he fell lying down because he was attacked in the air, in front of him there were 2 eagles that pressed him to the point of being unable to move.

Drrr...

The ground shook again,

Any more?

Ran with all his might pushed the 2 eagles before him upwards, when vast space was created, Ran released his grasp from the sword and rolled to the side.

Crucq...

The earth spear reappeared from Ran's place, the spear tore the hologram eagle and Ran's sword to shreds, Ran himself could barely dodge, lucky only his hand was scratched though severe enough.

Ran rolled over and stood back up, Enzo right behind him with a smile, medical equipment hovering around Enzo and automatically moving towards Ran to heal his wound.

"Thank you Enzo."

"Together."

The flocks of birds back on the attack, Ran and Enzo spread out in opposite directions so as not to crash.

Srakkk Pak Crakkk

Ran ran away from the flock of birds while occasionally slashing to destroy them, but unfortunately, this time Ran was less meticulous.

Flocks of birds appeared from behind as well, Ran was completely confined.

"Curtain!" Ran clicked his tongue, then he created one more katana sword, this time he used Dual Sword style

Srakk... Crack... Chwakk...

Ran slashed in all directions, he no longer cared where he slashed, as he was already completely surrounded by a flock of crows and eagles.

Ran was still strong enough to resist and fend off the attacks from this flock of birds for just a moment. Over time, Ran began to be overwhelmed.

The Srak Crats

The wounds from the scratches of the flock of birds began to appear on Ran's body. It was only a small wound, but it still felt painful if it was present in large quantities. On the cheeks, arms, shoulders, back, legs and arms do not escape the scratches.

"Hosh.. Hosh... Ohhhh..."

Ran was exhausted, but he couldn't stop here.

"Khhkkk.... Uarghgh...." Ran twisted his entire body, his two swords slashing out in all directions. The hologram of the flock of birds is torn apart and destroyed by Ran's sword.

The number of birds dropped dramatically, Ran was able to breathe a little sigh of relief after a small space appeared after he slaughtered a flock of birds in a decent amount.

But, from the direction of the flock, another attack appeared.

The Cowboy man suddenly appeared, his hands pierced forward, the exhausted Ran did not have time to dodge the attack that would stab his face.

Die me... Inner Ran.

But... Before the attack hit Ran, another hand appeared from the side and pushed Ran's head to the side. It was Enzo.

The attack of the cowboy man escaped, his stab through a narrow gap between Enzo's hand and Ran's shoulder.

"I failed." The cowboy man was about to instantly retract his attack.

However, his hand was held by Enzo. Enzo didn't let him pull back his hand.

"Hey let me go."

"Can't dong... If you leave, you won't be able to see this!" Enzo took out his red thread from his sleeves.

The red thread of Enzo twitched itself, and began to sew the fingers of the cowboy into one.

"Khhkkk... What's this!?"

"Only a small operation, you have to thank me, if usually I will charge a fee even for a small operation."

"Haha... You're crazy." The Cowboy man controls a flock of birds around him to attack Enzo.

Enzo who was attacked by a flock of birds was forced to stop and retreat, the cowboy man also retreated.

"Haha... You're totally nuts." Said the cowboy while holding his right arm.

Enzo managed to sew the thumb until the middle finger of the cowboy man became one, the cowboy man was not able to remove the seams, and not only that, but the cowboy man was not able to remove the seams, his right hand also became numb until it was difficult to move.

"That way, you're gonna have a hard time making a new hologram of an animal, right?" New Enzo's words made it out of a flock of birds. As a result of the stitches look real, the cowboy man becomes difficult to control his flock.

"Heh... Don't forget, I still have one more partner. Roy! I have a plan!" The cowboy man called his partner, but was silent... There's no answer.

"Roy...?" The cowboy man called his partner again, but still silent, he turned to his partner.

"Search what? Looking for your partner.....?" A familiar voice appeared, but it wasn't the naked man Roy called.

The one behind, was Eduardo, he with a satisfied smile, standing while stepping on Roy who had fainted.

"Sorry we're late, Eduardo got too carried away." William apologized for being late.

The cowboy man seemed to be in disbelief at what was happening.

"What the fuck? Why is this so?"

"still confused? Let me explain, you are now... You've lost to fools!" Eduardo said as he held his thumb upside down
