The World We Do Not Know - 100 Bitter Truth

Faust and his squad positions themselves inside a red marker ready to be teleported into another world.

There is also a deeper reasoning for this round in the purge. In reality, these soldiers would have to go to other dimensions by teleporting themselves. And they would need to plunder elemental stones from other dimensions by excavation. Which is similar to this training.

Faust and his squad are teleported to another world, the sky is blue and clear, the sun is brighter than ever. There is no wind or no smell to the area. Faust checks to his left and right, he could not find his squad members. They must be teleported to their positions he thought and took a step forward.

*Thud*

“Dead! Faust is eliminated.” A computer voice resonated in the room Thorik and Tsumugi are monitoring the training.

“What happened there?” Thorik asked the people monitoring the screens.

“He did not activate his defence shield. Did you attach the device on his cloak?”

“I’m pretty sure I did.” Thorik is confused with what could have gone wrong.

“H-he cannot use spiritual energy! He doesn’t have any.” Tsumugi helps clear the confusion.

Meanwhile, Faust is teleported back in his realm. “Huh? Why am I here? What happened?” He asks without knowing what had happened to him in the training grounds.

“You need to channel your spiritual power into the holo tool that I attached on your cloak. Why did you not do it?” Thorik asks even after hearing from Tsumugi that Faust cannot use ‘Spiritual Power’

“I cannot use spiritual power.” Faust replies hesitantly.

“I don’t think you can win any match.” Both Jonathan and Rachel, teleport back at the same time Thorik is uttering the words.

“Huh? What? Why did you say that?” Jonathan looks at Faust who is frozen in shock and Thorik, glaring at Faust.

“Faust is taken out by a sniper, the other two did not adapt to the teleportation. The guy puked and was taken down by Yuki, the girl did not adapt to the teleportation too and was passed out.” Reports come in from the guys monitoring the match about Faust, Jonathan and Rachel.

Shortly, Fab comes back and with him, two of the opponent soldiers. “Fab is the only one that did good! He took down two members before he was taken down.”

*Pant pant* Fab falls onto the ground gasping for air. “I-I’m Fabulous!”. He gives a thumbs up while breathing heavily.

“The sniper bullet broke ur body shield, immediately eliminating you from the match. If you don’t have spiritual power, you won’t be able to stay for a minute in a match.” Thorik says.

The defence shield attached to the clothes of the soldiers would provide a shield, helping them to avoid a hit. Giving them a chance to get into a cover after they teleport.

In Faust’s case, there is no defence, making him the most vulnerable. The spawn point, where Faust and the other teleported are noted to the opposite team. It takes just one shot for a sniper to eliminate Faust from match right after he is teleported into the match.

“Let me go one more match.” Faust asks for a rematch, gets the permission and all four of them are teleported again.

“Faust is eliminated!”

Within ten seconds. Faust is again hit by the sniper gain and teleported back to the room with Thorik me Tsumugi.

“It is hopeless. A captain should lead his squad from the front and stand his ground protecting them.” Thorik says as he moves onto monitor the rest.

Faust just stands there in doubt, he doesn’t know what to do or how to counter anymore. This is the first time Tsumugi saw Faust cowering without a plan or without displaying his confidence. But she knew this would happen so she did not say anything. She knew from the start that only three members from her house needs to win the first round someway.

Faust did not take the match again, he went back to his room while the other trained the whole day.

“This is a huge blow for the family, they have to fight with only three people and try to win.” Yuiki’s squad empathises with Tsumugi’s family.

Faust doesn’t go out of his bed the whole day, Jonathan tries to bring him out of the cabin but fails to do so.

“Fausty! Don’t worry, I can take down two members, Jonathan and Rachel can take care of the other two. We will win a match in the first round for real and then you can win the second round which is 1 Vs 1 and then our family will survive.” Fab assures Faust, Jonathan and Rachel too add their voices of support, saying they too will work their best to win.

This only made Faust feel more humiliated that the people whom he’s supposed to protect are now making up for his lack of strength.

Faust did not go to the training ground for the rest of the month. It’s only Fab, Jonathan and Rachel with their new equipment, have played 53 matches against Yuki’s squad and won 0 matches.

Meanwhile, Faust only did his morning workouts, routines and spent the rest of the day in his house.

The Purge that has terrified the branches of the families for the past two months have arrived finally. The very first match is arranged between Tsumugi and Carlos. The matching did seem political to both the houses. But they cannot oppose anything rather than follow the house rules.

While every other team is preparing for battle on the morning of the purge, no one has sensed the dawn of the birth of a new demon that is about to enter the urge with them.

Faust calls his squad for a discussion on the morning of the day of Purge. Fab, Jonathan and Rachel are just gawking at Faust while listening to his strategies.

“Let’s win this whole round.” Faust uttered with a devilish smile, the black stone on his armlet is gleaming brightly and his left eyeball is completely black, as the eye of a devil.
