Epic of Bee - Chapter 93

After I finally asked Bob to go for a walk and be out of sight for a while. It was getting frustrating having everyone asking me who Bob was every five minutes, and I also had suggested that he try his Disguise Skill.

That might help him to stop being such a forgettable person, but his Class would be beneficial for going forward. The second last person to come up before me was the tallest Raccoon I had ever seen.

Not that I had a lot of experience, but this guy was a head taller than two meters! On top of that, the Raccoon looked like he could hold a basketball easier than I could grab an orange, and I wasn’t even going to get started on his feet!

“Will, I think that is fitting, but man, you are tall!” I said as I activated the Queen System, making Will grin.

Will

[Subject:Will]: Class option:

{Bee Brawler} Or {AssasiBee}

There were only 2 left, and while Will would probably be the Bee-st Bee Brawler, this hive would ever meet. This was no offense to Leah, but this guy was a fricken Redwood among Poplars, but I had to think about what we would need.

Also, I wanted to see a seven-foot-tall ninja, so I made the selection, and Will burst will light. I would also like to note that the big bugger was brighter than the rest.

I even needed to squint, the light was starting to reflect off the walls, and I seemed to be affected by it. When the change was done, Will was now completely black, but like ultra-light eating black.

“Yeah, I win,” Will said and disappeared and left nothing but black smoke wisps.

I looked around, confused. How did he just do that? The Better question was, how did he know how to do that?!

Suddenly, a black shape appeared behind Ryan, the War Bee Tactician, and put a blade to his neck. I froze as ice ran through my veins from the shock of what was going on.

“Fine, but that’s cheating!” Ryan said, and Will took the blade away and then disappeared again, only to reappear in front of me to my shock.

“I am very sorry for my actions and startling you like that, but Ryan and I have a long-standing game of I Kill You. We do it to help keep each other sharp and constantly aware of your surroundings, but Ryan lucked out since I don’t think this stuff comes off,” Will said with a smile, but his month was shaded, and it was almost disturbing to look at.

“Yes, I was pretty surprised, but I can understand. Is this activity something that I can look forward to in the future? I was startled at first, but I like the premise that you do it on, so I would like for you to continue with it,” I explained, and the disturbing shaded smile on Will’s face got more prominent.

“Oh, I will do so with great pleasure! I will teach your other guards to be on their toes in no time!” Will joked, but then Jeff, the Explosive Specialist, piped up.

“The only thing you will teach them is poor sleeping habits and to be scared of their own shadows. At least now the dark covers that hideous mouth of yours!” Jeff said, but then Will disappeared again, and Jeff must have seen this coming.

Jeff grabbed one of his hex-shaped grenades and twisted, tossing himself out of the space he just was and tossed the grenade there. Will was just rematerializing, and there was no way for him to react in time as the grenade hit him.

Instantly, Will was encased in a golden soccer ball, and Jeff started to howl with laughter as Will pounded on the golden hex plate prison and he tried to use his ability to get out, but he would just rematerialize in the cell.

“You better Bee somewhere else when I get out of here, you little shit!” Will yelled in a muffled voice, but that just made Jeff laugh even harder.

I rolled my eyes, but this was great fun. I thought that at first, the Raccoon Folk were all going to be a bunch of super-serious people, but I was glad to see that some of them had lighter sides.

There was no scanning Will until he got out of the prison, so I turned my attention to the last person. I was starting to run short on names, so I decided that I would just use the age-old best name when there was none to Bee found.

“John, you are the last, but surely not the least,” I said with a smile, and he nodded at me with a severe face, but then he spoke up.

“If you don’t mind, I would like the same Class as Will. Both of us are takedown specialists, and that ability that Will got will be a great addition to my current skills with thrown blades,” John explained.

“Oh, I think that I can do that for you! That also means that you are the same as Rixie, or you knew her as Bresma,” I said to John, and he nodded to me and seemed to straighten.

“Yes, I have taught her the ways of the blade since her parents would allow me to teach her,” John said stiffly.

I could tell that it was some kind of front, and the truth was that he probably considered her as a daughter, and even more so after her parents were killed. I smiled and activated the Queen System.

John.

[Subject: John]: Class option:

{Shadow Bee Blade Dancer} Or {AssasiBee}

Excellent, both choices were good, but I wanted to follow John’s wishes, and having two ninja assassins would be good. I made the selection, and after the light cleared, Shorter twin to Will stood in front of me, and it looked like he was about to pull a Will.

“Cha, Cha, Cha, don’t you go running off before I get a scan! I don’t know how you already know about your abilities, but it must just be the results of experience,” I said with a sigh as I started up my Scanner function.
