Choi reengaged in the battle by chraging at Irhirh with a thrust of his shield. Irhirh jumped back and casts a [Aqua Ring] which envelops his hands in circles of water.
"With this my combat prowess is tripled" Irhirh explained
"Well then I don't need to get close to you" Choi said as he casted [Wind Prison] which make a circle prison around Irhrh.
"So what's your plan" Irhirh asked
"We will 2v1 Juti then we will murder you" Choi said
"Don't be so sure" Irhirh said as he casts a spell on Juti "[Aqua Ring]"
Juti arms feel lighter and stronger "This is more like it" he said.
Then Juti attacked Scrappy who was barely able to block the attack but Juti continued with a combo that knocked Sracppy into a tree. The impact nearly knocked out Scrappy but he barely got up.
"Really a power boost?" Scrappy said "You're a fraud"
Choi comes and bashes Juti in the ground but he pushes the shield away as he palm strikes Choi in the stomach sending him into a bush. Then he looks back to Scrappy and he dashes toward him. Scrappy who rested up a bit casted [Ice Fang] which by using both of his daggers simultaneously he mimics an animal bite by raising one of his arms as the other one is lowered. Both of the daggers hit Juti's shoulders making him slowly freeze.
"Trying to freeze someone cold-hearted isn't the best idea" Juti said as he tried to knock out Scrappy but Choi came and blocked Juti's punches. The effects of the shield makes Juti jumped back and got Shocked.
"I'm done with this b*llsh*t" Juti said as he went to break the [Wind Prison] to free Irhirh.
"You took a hail of a lot of time, Juti" Irhirh said "But It doesn't matter [Passive Healing]"
Juti started healing as reminiscing about his past
We cut to when they first got their Nexus
"I didn't get anything!?" Juti said as he looked down
"Really? That is surpring." Choi said as he came to his desk "Does that mean you won't be scaling the Tower"
The strongest student in this school isn't climbing the Tower? It's kinda ironic" Scrappy chimmed in
"Scrappy are we deadass" Choi retaliated
"No it's fine. I don't mind it all" Juti said "You guys can go climb the Tower just make sure to call me every now and then. Okay?"
"Yeah, of course" Scrappy and Choi said in unison
After 4 months
"I wonder how they have been holding up" Juti said as he tried to call Scrappy but there was no answer "I guess they must be busy".
After another month and 30 missed calls Juti just couldn't take it anymore and decided he would climb the Tower and see his friends once again.
But there was one problem he failed the test on floor 5 because of the lack of Nexus and Class. Feeling discouraged he thought that he wouldn't be able to see his friends but then a mysterious presence appears behind Juti.
Juti was on guard. He looked behind him and saw Belno Demonheart.
"Who are you?" Juti asked, stepping back cautiously.
"I'm just like you - someone rejected by this world because of my lack of Nexus," Belno explained calmly.
"Then why are you here?" Juti asked, a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"I'm here to recruit you to my guild," Belno replied.
"Why me? I'm a nobody," Juti said, lowering his gaze.
"I see potential in you," Belno said.
Juti hesitated before speaking again. "I'll join… if you show me my friends."
Belno nodded and handed Juti special Nexus items that would help him pass the test.
After a long period of grinding and hard work, Juti finally reached the floor where Scrappy and Choi resided. But when he saw them, they looked… happy.
He couldn't understand it.If they were so happy, why didn't they answer a single one of his calls?
Still, Juti was a kind person. He decided to give them one last chance.
He pulled out his phone and called them, hoping they would answer.
…
Silence.
They didn't even bother to look at their phones.
Something inside Juti snapped.
A spark ignited in his mind, "They will pay" Juti said as he went back to Belno
We cut back to the fight where Choi uses [Wind Slash] to send multiple slashes at the [Fortified Aqua].
"Try all you want but you won't be able to break my defence" Irhirh said but he also let his guard down which let Scrappy, who used healing potions, used [Ice Fang] to break the shield.
Then Scrappy sliced Irhirh into oblivion but when he looked back at Choi he couldn't believe it. Juti was holding Choi by the neck
"I guess this a showdown huh?" Juti said "But since I'm a nice guy I want to trade you give me the stone and Irhirh and I give you Choi or I kill this brat"
Scrappy feeling stressed decided to take up the deal and gave Juti, the stone and Irhirh while Juti gave Choi to Scrappy.
"Alright we're are done he-" Juti was interuptet by a magical circle trap which shot out a huge spike. The Spike was way too fast for Juti to react so he put his hands into a guard position but he failed to realise that Irhirh was still in his hands.
FWOOOSH
A huge hole was blown through Irhirh's chest
"What?" Juti said as he was holding the dead body
"There's no coming back from that one. Your buddy is dead"
"Who is this?" Choi asked Scrappy
"I don't know some kind of random I guess" Scrappy said
"I will kill you" Juti said as he lunged towards the mysterious scaler
But then another magical circle trap appeared out of nowhere hundreds of ash pillars rip off all of Juti's limbs.
"Who tf are you!" Juti screams
"Go tell your friend I said hi" The trapper said as he prepared the last attack to kill Juti, a stream of water heals Juti's arms and legs.
"Huh?" He was confused as he saw Irhirh using all his strength to heal him
"You're still alive? I guess I've gotten rusty" The Trapper shoved a spear in Irhirh head
"Since your friend died for you I will tell you my name. Yoake, a DustBreaker/Knight" He said
"I don't care anymore I will take you down with all I have" Juti said
"C'mon now you shouldn't waste your friend's life." Yoake explained
As Juti was about to jump in, a familiar voice took his attention
"How unfortunate" Belno said "And I thought he had potential"
Editors Note - "Trying to freeze someone cold-hearted isn't the best idea" This line is a Belno classic he thought of when he was in the shower.
