Bloodlust

CH 16 - Short break

[ No one's POV ]

"Come on, Stand up"

Plume had a hard time following his word, She couldn't feel her body move at all, The only thing she could do was just listen

"Do you think an Enemy will just let you lie down? Stand up"

She wanted to respond back,  But couldn't find her voice, Her own vision was getting blurry as he saw boots stop in front of her face

"This is like, The 15th rubber sword. Do you know how hard it was for me to buy them at the toy store at Lungmen?"

It irritates her, She was trained well under Dobermans supervision and yet here she was, Beaten up by rubber toys. She tried to regain her strength and lift herself up in order to let out atleast on attack remaining from her strength

"That's right, Get up. Stand up right now, And fight back." She saw his feet turn around and walk away, He's underestimating her endurance now

"Shut.... Up"

"GET UP AND FIGHT BACK!"

"SHUT UUUUP-"

CLANG

Within one fast swing, the head of Plume's spear was swept off and got itself stuck at the ceiling, Plume took deep breaths as she slowly fell, But He caught her almost Immediately

"Not going to lie, You still lost, But there's something to be proud of today" Plume looked at him exhaustedly as he sat her down on the ground "Really..."

"For the first record of This landship's history, You're the first person to ever land a hit on me... Even though that was a tap with a stick, but still!" She had no more energy left to speak and passed out on the ground

"You could put this on your resume and aim for greater position! Get a higher raise and- oh... I... Uh ... Hope you aren't dead"

"She isn't"

Bloodlust immediately turned around and faced Alicia, Who was looking at him irritated "How many are you planning to send to the infirmary this time...?" He sweatdropped and scratched his head

"Uhm... Five if people who hate me appears again" Alicia sighed and leaned towards the door and locking it "Stop making my job harder for me, okay?"

"I swear I try my best not to start conflicts! I even bought my loot as gifts but they were all turned down!" She stared at him, unamused at his comment "Let me guess, Stolen items from your old victims?"

"Stolen?!? I'll have you know they gave it with consent!"

"Is pleading for mercy consent to you?!?"

"Well, If people say 'Take it, It's yours' at you, Then technically it's mine now since they've given ownership!"

"You literally avoided my answer!"

"I-It isn't my fault they were weak!"

Alicia thought of one thing, and all she could do was bless and praise herself for even finding something she can hit this maniac without getting harmed "Did you really think people would be on good terms  with you if you give them your stolen items?"

"Well duh, who wouldn't want free stuff?"

Nevermind, This was a harder person to talk with

"Oooh! So this means that i have to consider their likes and dont likes! I see!"

She didn't even say something close to that! Why does she even bother trying to correct him if he somewhat corrects himself in the first place?!?

"Oh yeah, Thinking about likes and don't likes, Do you know any place i can ask to make me a weapon and a device for a low price? Like... A few thousands cheap"
