Chapter 327: It's Me, Your Son
Though this body didn\'t give him much of an edge, he was covered in cuts. He was sure if it was his previous self, he\'d been dead by now.
"Hey kid, stop moving around so much and let me land a hit." Said one of the prisoners Ishaan was up against.
He was stockier than Ishaan had been so his movement were greatly hindered. But his strength was monstrous, Ishaan had suffered under his grip already, he wasn\'t planning on it for a second time.
He unfortunately couldn\'t stay away if he wanted to defeat the guy. He didn\'t trust President Scott\'s toys. The fact that none of them knew what they would do, made them more dangerous.
"Come get me, if you can." He mocked running circles around the guy.
He went straight for his spine, connecting with his weapon. He activated the electricity, causing the man to scream in agony.
"This isn\'t the game, it\'s real life." Ishaan muttered to himself.
The man turned to look at him, a crazed look on his face. His brain was clearly almost, completely fried. He was drooling involuntarily. He jerked backwards just in time to avoid his claws that desperately wanted to claw his skin.
It was evident that, it was just the guy he fed electricity every chance he got that was losing his mind. Wilfred prepared them for everything except the mental toll this all took. In his defence, there was no time.
Though even with time, he\'d have told them the best way to earn mental fortitude is through experience in the battlefield.
"It\'s not the game, it\'s real life." Ishaan muttered, reminding himself again.
This line was like an anchor that yanked him back so he didn\'t go too far. He was killing people, but he still had to remind himself that they were victims, therefore he should do it as humanely as possible.
This fight in particular made that impossible for him to do. So, bit by bit, he had to remind himself. Keep himself grounded, remind himself why he was doing this in the first place.
He breathed heavily, it was clear that the baton was made to torture more than giving fatal blows. It proved difficult to this guy in particular because of how big was.
He took the baton and placed it on his belt. He took a stick, that was extremely shorter than the baton itself. This was met by a smirk from his opponent.
"Giving up already? Just come a little closer, I\'ll only break your neck."
Ishaan wasn\'t amused at all. He pressed the short stick, which turned into a handle for a short sword. He was grumpy, knowing that he\'ll be soaked in blood using the weapon he was using.
He walked closer because he was tired of running at this point, the man didn\'t waste time his arms stretched to where Ishaan was, attempting to catch him by the neck, that was his favourite part in a human body.
"This isn\'t the game, it\'s real life." He murmured swerving to the man\'s left and out of his reach.
He twirled his feet, landing his short sword right in the man\'s neck. He didn\'t take it out immediately, blood dripped to the stone floor. The man\'s eyes starred at the boy in front of him, unbelieving.
He tried lifting his hands to Ishaan\'s neck, he reckoned he still had a little bit of strength left to squeeze the life out of him but for the first time in his life, his arms were extremely heavy, too heavy for him.
He attempted to speak but it just came out as gargling noise. Ishaan was careful, he didn\'t want blood all over himself, he slowly retreated his blade from the man\'s neck.
He hadn\'t done the job when he was tackled from behind, causing the sword to bury itself deeper into the man\'s neck. The worst of it all, Ishaan and the man fell on the ground, with Ishaan ontop of him.
"F*ck." He muttered.
The blood splattered on his face, he wanted to die right there. He didn\'t want anyone to find out that he was, in fact, afraid of blood. He tried to play it cool, but he was clearly shaking ontop of the corpse.
The woman who\'d tackled him hadn\'t stopped coming for him but he was still frozen on the floor.
Fortunately, Felix came to his rescue. Putting the woman on a chokehold and then immediately breaking her neck. He was about to say some snarky remark when he realised that Ishaan was actually shook by this.
"Here. Come on." He offered his hand.
Ishaan took it, getting up.
There was still a lot of prisoners to take care of. Hiro and Kiro with the help of Zak and Lil were doing a poor job at suppressing and maiming Jin. The four were fighting to maim, but Jin was clearly fighting to kill them.
He grabbed Zak by the scruff of his neck while he was trying to a sneak attack. Beating him within an inch of life before the others managed to free him from his clutches.
"Dammit. We can\'t win here, that weasel that ran away can\'t be up to anything good. We need to wrap this up, we\'ve gotten almost everything?" Kiro complained.
All of them were quite tired. They hadn\'t had rest since they left the academy. If they didn\'t have James, they would\'ve lost, that\'s what they thought. They were grateful to the dean. Discover stories at мѵʟ
Hiro made the mistake of attacking too close to Jin. He was caught the suit he was wearing. He held on the suit with a monstrous grip and started pounding him with the other hand.
"Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t." Kiro uttered, going straight for the man\'s arm, but he received an elbow to the mouth which pushed him back.
"It\'s me," Hiro said weakly, "dad, it\'s me."
But Jin didn\'t stop. If he heard him, he didn\'t show any signs.
Hiro lifted a finger to his face and gently pressed, the mask gently disappeared. Revealing his face, a face that would\'ve been in bad shape if it weren\'t for the mask.
"Dad, it\'s me, Hiro, your son!" He shouted so loud that the heavens should\'ve heard him.
