episode 53 Keti's awakening

"Keti" is being hesitant to step forth and cut open the bunny, she swallowed her guts and slowly tried to step forward.

Wreck: it's okay, if you can't do it then we will think of another way to figure out what the demons are after.

Seth: "Wreck" is right, you don't need to force yourself to harm it, there will always be another way.

Keti: be quite…whatever happens to me, whatever mischief that's in my way…we should always be prepared to face it, if we quit now would mean we came here for no reason, I have to do this even if I'm about to get my hands dirty.

Seth: "Yamazaki".

Grimm: then step forward, we don't have all day.

She grabbed the scalpel and slowly cuts open the bunny, "Fey" didn't feel disgusted at all, except for "seth", he felt like he was about to puke.

Keti: (disgusting as it looks, for a human they need to wear a mask to not breath the reeking smell in surgery, but for some reason I feel fine breathing it…now for the ingot to be placed inside of it).

she grabbed the ingot and stuffed it inside the bunny, its wounds get sealed and suddenly dies.

Grimm: …I see, that isn't good…no matter how you look at it we might have made a terrible mistake, I shouldn't have put you into this.

Keti: it's fine…what will be my next trial? We still got ways to go.

Grimm: but first, you need to dispose of that bunny, it is not what I hoped it would be.

The bunny wakes up and starts shaking, it stood on guard and transformed, its size grew a bit, its teeth became sharper and its claws began to come out bigger.

Grimm: with "Fey's" awakening I used her booster flames on the ingot before I gave it to you, it seems that made it berserk its state, "Wreck", this is an emergency, kill the bunny.

Keti: no… I chose to follow so; it is my duty to kill it myself.

Seth: don't be an idiot, you don't even have a weapon to use, how are you gonna kill it?

Wreck: rules of survival, you can't always depend on your own weapons.

Keti: … you got to know that you can use what is available in your area.

The bunny is faster now thanks to the booster flames, he went behind and almost ripped her head off, she jumps to its first position and starts looking for a way to kill it, "Seth" was going to give her his blaze gear.

Grimm: I'm afraid this will not do…she does look like she has her own ways of defeating it.

Seth: just look around you, there is nothing that is available she could use to kill the damn thing, nor she has the skills.

Grimm: perhaps…or perhaps there is something she could use, something you're currently ignoring.

The bunny was almost going to kill "Keti", once it opened its mouth widely, she suddenly jumps inside grabbing its middle tooth trying to snap it out, the bunny swallowed her inside and walked just a little bit then eventually it died, "keti" cuts it open and came out of it covered in its blood.

Wreck: yes, of course…the enemy itself is available to use, if you're bare handed facing your opponent who wields a sword, you could just take the opportunity to dodge and snatch his dagger from his pocket, it's all a strategy.

Grimm: that is a job well done…though, for a "Skarvenian" human who never killed a creature before, yet calm about doing so, but that rabbit wasn't actually your job to irradicate.

"Keti" rips off the ingot that was in the bunny and threw it towards "Grimm".

Keti: … anymore jobs you would like to provide? Even if "Wreck" were to come fight it you will need to destroy the circle that you've made for them, then how about I stick this tooth right on your miserable eyes? Maybe that will clear the picture for you.

Grimm: …that is not how you provoke someone, the way I see it I'm in control here since you want answers…but what if I tell you that you need to follow every last step even if it involves killing each other, are you going to decline? I can just kick you out and never see you again, the only chance you'd ever have.

Keti: face me…come down here a face me [on guard].

Seth: what is she doing?

Wreck: for the moment there I thought it was the blood of that bunny driving her nuts and giving her grudge, but she's actually so tired that she needs to rest.

Grimm: how unpleasant your attitude could be! That's fine, if you want to fight me this badly then how about I make this your next trial?

He snaps his finger then the torches around the tent gets lit showing that there are audience watching, screaming for a good show.

Grimm: this is where you need to shine, these audience are looking forward to seeing you perform a good show in this battle, that tooth you have maybe your only weapon, [teleport in front of "Keti"] but it's not enough to defeat me.

"Keti" and "Grimm" fight each other, "Keti" is on a disadvantage since "Grimm's" attacks are too fast for her that she can only defend against some blows.

seth: [sweat] he's going to kill her.

Wreck: she has no other options, but why would she fight a battle she's not prepared for? We could use different methods to find the answer of the mystery, not just through "Grimm".

Fey: [yell] you can do it "Keti", there is no way he could beat you.

As the battle continues "Keti" suffers a lot as she gets hit every time, she started to breath heavily and her vision began to blur, "Grimm" knocks her out with his staff but didn't end the fight.

Seth: it's over.

Wreck: it sure seems like it.

Seth: but did he end the fight? He just won.

Wreck: because it only seems like it, he's not going to end the fight unless his opponent admits defeat.

Seth: …okay, you win, she can't stand up and tell you that she's lost, we can just come back to you tomorrow.

Grimm: I wanna hear her this instant…if she were to admit defeat, she better wake up right and tell me.

Wreck: no matter how you see it, she can't wake up in her condition, if she would ever want to--… [shocked] wait…you're not expecting that she would!

Fey: [yell] "Keti", wake up, you can still make it.

Wreck: he's expecting an awakening, does she need to suffocate to do so?

"Keti" finally taps into her potential gate as she sees how enormous her gate is, she comes closer and tried to open it, the gate slowly opens giving her strength to wake up and stand on her feet, suddenly her body gets coated with a transparent beast cloak, her eye pupils glows in light grey blue.

Grimm: [grin] finally you're up for a good fight, it seems you haven't decided on giving up yet, then show me this true power of yours.

"Keti" fights "Grimm" again and this time she's improving on her movement and dodging, he increased the difficulty by adding crimson red flame projectiles to the fight, she is able to dodge every last one and attack "grimm".

Seth: she's improving! But what kind of awakening is this?

Wreck: I think I read about this somewhere, something about the beast men, that cloak could be similar to that of a beast lord, the beast man's authority.

Seth: it seems that cloak is defending her, it has given her speed and strength to fight back.

Wreck: but here is one problem when it comes to "Grimm" … his flames doesn't just ignite the body when it comes to contact.

Seth: what you mean? Her cloak should keep the flames from burning her, is there a flaw to it?

Suddenly one of the audiences creates a large crimson flame projectile and threw it towards her, "Wreck" left the circle and blocked it for her, the flame ran through his body, igniting him inside out that he couldn't even handle it, the battle stopped.

Keti: [panic] "Wreck", you idiot … I could have handled that myself, why would you do this?

Grimm: [surprised] he just came out of the circle.

Keti: [panic] no, please, he didn't mean to come out like that.

Grimm: [serious] he just broke out of the circle, that means the trial has been interfered, with that in mind.

Keti: [yell] don't cast us out, I can still continue the trial.

Grimm: with that in mind, I'm going to let that slide.

Keti: … [confused] huh?

Grimm: of course he would come out of the circle even though I warned you what would happen if you come out, however…my audience broke the rules too, [angry] and with that all of them shall be agonized for the time being, [sigh] it seems it's my loss thanks to my audience however, you still got a trial ahead of you.

Keti: that doesn't make sense, the rules were clear, one of us has to admit defeat.

Grimm: correct, but with the interference it's considered a win by default, you never read about fighting, have you? You just assumed that the rules are futile…never mind that, for your next trial I want you to wander around the school, [give "Keti" a signature sheet] let the 7 wonderers sign this sheet for me, do that then you'll get your clue.

Keti: you're crazy, and what are you going to do with "Wreck"? he looks like he's in a lot of pain.

Grimm: I wouldn't care if I were you, did you forget that capable shifter capable of shifting anything? I don't need to do anything, he'll patch himself up… oh, it's almost dawn.

Keti: wait.

Grimm: goodbye [finger snap].

As he snaps his finger the whole circus instantly disappears, leaving them lying on dirt.

Seth: we did it, now all we need to do is make the 7 wonderers sign this sheet of paper.

Keti: that won't be easy…the 7 wonderers of the school are more like hypocritically psychos if you ask me.

Seth: damn…he likes making such difficult challenges, it's like he wants us to do the impossible.

Fey: since we're both awakened, this should be enough to do the job, right?

Keti: don't know how things are going to turn out but…no matter what happens…no matter what comes in our way…no matter what the challenges are…know that we should always be- [yawn] I need to be well rested right now, might as well skip school no matter the consequences.

"Fey" used her booster flame on "Keti" and "Seth" before they could even get the chance to sleep.

Keti: [panic, yell] why would you do that?!

Fey: you're not allowed to skip school whenever I'm around.

Both "Seth" and "Keti" are complaining to "Fey" for giving them a booster flame, "Wreck" is feeling relaxed after suffering for a bit, giggles from hearing how they complain to "Fey".
