UNLUCKY
Ch.322 - Recalling the Game of Hell's Gates
"Today we'll practice while playing the game .." Banks said.
"Games?" ask Tan.
"This game is famous among the demons. Actually this is one of the 10 unforgivable sins then adapted into a game. During the reign of Caelvita-46, the Demon King then opened the Gates of Hell to enter Mundclariss without having to use the gate but automatically could enter freely. But it could eventually be stopped also by Caelvita-46 and the Demon King was demoted from his throne and locked up in the Hell of Proferce .." Banks said.
Teo interrupts Banks to continue, "Sorry. Can't just practice tonight without having to listen to the story?!"
Tom unscrewed the bottle and poured water directly on Teo's face, "You should be grateful to hear this story, how would you know about Mundebris if it wasn't this way."
Banks' habit when training them is to take the time to give them knowledge on the sidelines of the exercise.
"How have any of the 10 unforgivable sins been adapted into a game?" tan asked Daritadi seriously listened.
"In the reign of Caelvita-47, the former Demon King contributed greatly to the safety of the three worlds. The gates of Hell turned into helpers at that time .. So the demons from that day on wanted to remember the services of the Demon King by making his sin a game." replied Banks.
"Unique is also your way of praising ..." said Tan laughing in surprise.
"So how's the game going?" ask Teo.
"The gates of hell are in the shape of large circles. Surely the circle must start from one point to another to form a full circle." Banks took out the Imperial Topaz gemstones and threw them one by one, "You will divide yourself and stand on each of those gemstones to complete the mission I gave you. The exercise will be completed after the appearance or formation of a full circle line that is connected from one gemstone to another."
Tan, Teo and Tom began to stand in front of each of those gemstones and from the gemstone came out something. At the place where Tan appeared the other himself exactly the same, where Teo out of the water and immediately made him drown, where Tom appeared quicksand so his feet sucked down slowly.
"The circle line will only be formed if you succeed in doing the mission, you can give up but the next person must complete the mission that you failed to do it. I've spoken to Young Master Cain and His Excellency Felix, you're not going home until you've finished making this hell gate" Banks said as the three of them were in all-out panic mode.
"Tan, I'll give up so replace me here. Tom I'm there!" teo's screams began to rise to the surface but the water began to sink him again.
"If you agree to exchange missions yell 'I'm a sinner let me atone for my sin and become a hero!' but just so you know that exchanging missions will make mission difficulties increase 10 times ..." said Banks.
"What?!" Three Twins shouted in protest, "Why not say daritadi?!"
"You don't ask.." said Banks not feeling guilty at all.
Eventually the Three Twins resignedly refused to exchange missions and began to seriously carry out their respective missions.
What Tan faced was himself, appearing an object in front of the two of them and having to choose the same thing. If it did not choose the same thing then it turned into a monster and attacked Tan.
"What's really formed out of me, right now I just need it to pull Teo out of that water and Tom out of the quicksand ...." said Tan felt that something was wrong and that shadow was not from him for not choosing what he currently needed most.
"That's what Young Master's problem is, it's always more about other people than helping yourself first" Banks said, starting to leave Tan for Teo's place.
Teo tried to continue floating in the already very high water that was even much higher than the trees there. His feet were getting tired to keep themselves floating but if he gave up he would drown in the depths of the water which would definitely instantly kill him. Huge waves kept coming smashing at Teo whose lips were already blue from the cold.
"Young Master got this mission because Young Master was always filled with fear just as deeply, and endless as this water. The Young Master just kept trying to survive this wave, this fear ..." said Banks who walked on the water made Teo stare at Banks between anger and envy.
Banks to where Tom has started to sink half his body in the quicksand.
"Young Master may think that Young Master is very rational in thinking, but when faced with reality...Even rational people will be forget themselves and panic in the face of problems." said Banks.
"You sure this is a game? this game should not be played by children!" tom said like holding his breath and as much as possible to reduce his movement.
"The game is adapted to the strength and age of the player. Surely the mission faced now is very possible for you to successfully carry it out" said Banks.
Tom started laughing, "Ah, so so ...." Tom began to relax himself and breathe normally as usual. The quicksand began to dissipate and Tom was already free, "So, this easy?! this quicksand is like a shackle of panic when there is a problem .. but if I can relax facing it, of course, everything will be fine" said Tom who first raised the line to the next point.
Tan had defeated the rope monster earlier and re-elected it. This time he chose nothing and saw his shadow smiling at him and slowly starting to disappear into dust.
"I myself turned out to be a figure who trusted both of them." Tan looked at his two brothers, "So I just kept worrying about them and chose what I could use to help them but it turned out to be deep in my heart, I don't need anything here because I believe they can succeed without me having to help them."
Now only Teo who has not stepped to the next point. His legs began to cramp and trouble to float let alone face the big waves.
"Teo, I know you're the bravest of the three of us. You remember the bully when we Kindergarten, when Tom was beaten up by that Junior High I could only keep protecting Tom from being punched, you stood up without fear at all against that Junior High" Tan shouted at Teo who was already very exhausted and almost gave up on it.
Teo's eyes were sore because they were exposed to water continuously, his skin also began to wrinkle and cold.
"You're wrong Banks! I'm not defending but always avoiding ...." Teo opened his eyes wide and began to swim forward to meet the waves that were about to hit him again, "You are just water. Come here!" Teo challenged the big waves.
The huge tsunami-like waves began to hit Teo. But this time he no longer began to swim up to the surface but only released himself after drowning, "I should have let the fear come to me .. It doesn't feel that bad!" said Teo closing his eyes then slowly feeling himself touching the grass, "Hahh ...." Teo began to wake up and breathe after seeing the water disappear.
Banks is now just watching how they connect the lines of the circle one by one, "I don't know how great they will be. 'when in fact I deliberately raise the difficulty." banks said inwardly feeling somewhat guilty but feeling happy too after doing that.
