Cyberknight: One Path

⁕ The Lynching Game (part 2)

Said Jagger in a mocking and insulting way.

[Senju] - "I understand! However, I will still do my best! "

Said Senju in a defeated voice while lowering his stare.

[CK] - "You are going to be fine, comrade. I feel we can still become strong if we train hard enough under comrade Mike's guidance. "

Said CK as he padded Senju on the back.

[Jagger] - "Hmm. Train hard people. I want all of you to be able to tame your ability by our next lesson. "

[Audrey] - "That's it? Are we not going to learn about combat or tactics? "

[Jagger] - "The tricky thing about abilities is that they differ from each person. There isn't a defined way to fight using abilities other than the way you designed it to be. Even if I could teach you about battle tactics, it would be a waste of time. "

Said Jagger while shooting a condescending look at Audrey.

Later as Jagger left to attend to his businesses, Senju, McCree and CK spent some time fighting each other in a game on the TV console in the middle of the living room. On the other side, Kadyn sat with Audrey at the kitchen table while attempting to find a name for Audrey's ability.

[Audrey] - "So since Mike said our ability is a reflection of ourselves, I'm thinking something about my country of France, my passion about collecting knives and... Ehh... "

Said Audrey before she paused to think a bit longer.

[Kadyn] - "How about that you also like women? "

[Audrey] - "Sigh... Whoever I want in my bedroom doesn't say anything about me. Honestly, I don't get why some people make being a lesbian their entire personality. For me, sex and love are private and not a public matter I want people to associate me with. "

Said Audrey dismissively.

Kadyn giggled before shoving a spoonful of cake into her own mouth. Meanwhile, Audrey scribbled down a few ideas on a piece of paper before presenting them to her friend.

[Kadyn] - "Mhmm... "Tower of Bleeding Blades", "Massacre Des Milles Couteaux", "Sabres Rouge de Napoleon" and "Terreur De La Revolution". "

Whispered Kadyn as her eyes darted across Audrey's writing.

[Audrey] - "Ugh... they sound so generic for some reason. "

[Kadyn] - "And quite honestly... violent. "

[Audrey] - "Hahaha! Did that really come from you? "

Laughed Audrey at the irony of Kadyn's sentence.

Upon realizing the irony of her words, Kadyn also began to laugh with her friend.

[Audrey] - "Anyways, violent or not, I would like something that describes me, France and my love for sharp blades. "

[Kadyn] - "Well, since you were keen on having France and knives, I suggest you go for the guillotine with something else. "

[Audrey] - "Hmm, it's a good idea... I'm thinking something about the shiny blade of a guillotine. "

[Kadyn] - "How about "Blue Shine Over The Guillotine Blade"? "

Said Kadyn as she pointed her finger at Audrey's blue eyes.

It didn't take long for Audrey to fall in love with the name as it captured everything she wanted in a single short poetic sentence.

[Audrey] - "Kadyn, my friend, you are a superb genius! It's like I'm the executioner with my eyes reflecting off the shiny guillotine blade. "
