The World We Do Not Know - 133 Flag Game

“Dammit! Who is he? Did any of you saw him move?” Santner, the leader of the other school, asks his teammates. Everyone stays silent when he asked them if they saw his movements.

“Is he carrying any purple stones? Are his clothes or shoes shining in purple colour?” The purple stone is the element of lightning. It is also used as a stone of electricity.

The busses run on the power of the batters. And it is these purple stones that are in the batteries. Also, Garuda, the fastest general is the lightning user. But the secret behind his lightning is, his clothes and enhanced shoes which are enhanced using the purple stones.

A person can move quickly when they are equipped with the white stones which enhances the physical properties of a person when equipped or with the purple stone with the lightning element or, using the green stone to enhance your clothes which makes you travel a little faster using the air element.

But the air element is not as quick as the white stone or purple stone.

“I-” East opens his mouth to say something.

“I-i’m standing just beside him and did not even notice when he moved.” East tells Santner which made him even more frustrated.

“Gather all the white stones and increase your physical properties when you a=fight against that school. And look out for him.” Santner changes the strategies at the last moment and explains to all of his teammates.

“Who are they by the way? They are so weak.” Faust asks Awarnach who are sharing a room together.

They are the school from the upper city, they’re from the house of Elbaf.” Awarnach replies to Faust.

“Elbaf?”

“That is the city of the Giants, as per our history.” Awarnach describes.

“There is a team meeting, Cameron wants the both of you to be present in her room in five minutes.” One of the seniors, informs Faust and Awarnach.

Faust and Awarnach goes to Cameron’s room.

“Our first match is with the house of Elbaf!” Cameron tells to Awarnach and Faust with a concerned face.

“Let’s just perform well and hope that we won’t get eliminated in the first round itself. If we lose even one round, we are out of this segment.” Cameron warns her people.

“Awarnach, I want you to be our rear guard like usual and help us like always.”

“What is the first match?”Faust asks Cameron.

“You will learn it tomorrow. Make sure to sit close to the team and observe our moments.” Cameron belittles Faust without intention.

“It’s Kill or Get Killed. A game of plundering flags.” Awarnach explains to Faust.

“I think Faust should be in the assaulting group.” Awarnach adds his voice for Faust but no one pays attention to him and Faust stopsAwarnach before he wants to knock a person to make them listen.

“We’re going with the defence again this time and Awarnach will as usual be a rearguard, protecting us in the front lines.

Faust doesn’t understand anything that Cameron is saying. She is saying rearguard but staying on the front lines to defend? He brings Awarnach out of the room and asks him about the game.

“It is a flag game. There will be three flags and on each flag, there will be a lot of soldiers.  You and five others get to be the commander, leader, squad leader, Major and defence. And either try to protect all three flags or plunder the flags of the opposite side.” Awarnach answers Faust.

“But if we do not attack, won’t we lose for not plundering any?” Faust asks a question.

“It also depends on how many commanders or leaders you takedown.”

“Taking out a commander gives you three points.

Taking out a leader gives you two points.

One point for the two squad leaders each.

Four points for the Major and

Five points to take out the defence.”

“I’m one of the squad leader, that commands my soldiers and suppress the coming squad leaders or commanders. Cameron is the defence with her light element. Mayu is the other squad leader that supports me.”

“Elton, the guy with glasses is the commander. Saburus, the lightning user is the leader and Howard, the healing element is the major.”

Awarnach explains the positions, squads and the rules of the match to Faust.

The soldiers here are the artificial humanoids, which are soldier level. From the past decade, no school have come close to plunder all three flags, because a huge mob of humanoids is present at every flag. And Commander, leader and Major protect each flag and the rest are their support while the defence makes it harder for the assaulter to reach the flags.

“I see, let’s go! Faust and Awarnach heads towards their room and goes to sleep. While Cameron and Santner stay up all night planning the strategies to perfectly win the match tomorrow.

–

“Are you not going to ask them to let you participate in it?” Awarnach asks Faust in the morning. Fust has gone out to complete his morning exercises and awarnach is ready with the uniform of their school.

Awarnach is wearing black pants and an orange leather jacket with zipper and a black tee inside. “Aren’t you wearing any armor?” Faust asks in a surprise upon seeing Awarnach’s outfit.

“We put a tool on our body that gives the protective defenses to our bodies.” Armours only cover certain places, leaving many openings. Whereas this shield covers the total body.

All of the Medellin schools starts going towards the arena. Cameron is wearing a long dress that is black with orange carvings on it, with a black hair band that ties her blonde hair back. But what stood out the most is the dress of Mayu.

The squad leader with Awarnach. She is wearing an orange kimono with a black belt wrapped around her waist. She is holding a black folding fan in her hands, which have Japanese words written on it.

“Where is this Elton? What is taking him so long?” Cameron yells near the bus as everyone is waiting for Elton to show up.

“Listen to me, it is getting late, you guys go and finish the formalities and I will stay, find him and bring him back to you.” The coach of the school speaks up.

Cameron agrees and all of them heads to the stadium on the bus. The stadium is filled with many t school students and fellow competitors.
