"Finally!" David heaved a loud sigh of relief. He had been incredibly worried the someone would somehow manage to find a large amount of kill points and surpass him as the first position.

Now he could finally relax as the event is finally over, there wasn't going to be any unexpected changes.

Casually grabbing some clothes from the loo Elvi had gathered, David took out a water bottle. Washed his face and his hair with the water, at least to look somewhat presentable.

Elvi was still seated in one corner, but she seem to be very excited at the end of the event.

"Why are you so happy?" David asked as he grabbed hold of a mirror and a brush and began to comb his hair neatly.

"I'm happy because I got to the top 500 in the rankings." Elvi seem to have forgotten her fear of David as she replied happily.

This made David turned to gaze at her with a raised eyebrow but then, he resumed brushing his hair. "Oh. Is the top 500 something to be happy about?"

"Yup! We get to receive 1000 Gyno points and a chance to ask a professor for help during our advancement into a Phaser."Elvi didn't seem to be bothered with David's words as she nodded her head happily.

David only blinked his eyes. "Is that so?"

"Yea. I spent the last few days in the forest. Killing and killing those beast. It was very hard to kill a low level dark haze beast. Their skins are just too tough and an ordinary attack doesn't seem to have any effect on them except if one uses combat techniques. It was incredibly troublesome. But I managed to do it anyways. When I came back to the safe zone, I was so tired and stressed out I need to relief my self so I... " suddenly, she seem to have realized she had been talking way too much and the direction of her words seem to be heading to an embarrassing destination.

Her neck flushed red and she immediately shrunk back her neck in embarrassment.

David chuckled and changed the shirt he had being wearing before. "It's alright. You were stressed out anyways. Let's get going before we miss the flight back to the institute. Now that's something we don't want to miss." He was very dirty right now and hadn't had a good shower in such a long time. And his bed.

Well, he realized he had been too immature about it.

"Let's move." He grabbed the useful loot off the ground and placed them in his own backpack. It was getting harder for him to carry the bag without feeling the weight of it.

Elvi nodded as she also grabbed her things and they left the small house.

"What the hell were you thinking!?" Phyllida yelled angrily at the Brogan and the four clansman that were remaining.

She had being recuperating from her injuries and was contemplating on the fights she had with David when she had been interrupted and informed that Brogan had some people on s one secret mission.

At first she didn't care and only monitored them through. The surveillance as she was in control of the base, she could see all the things happening in the safe zone.

When she saw who Brogan and those people were attacking, she immediately dropped what she was doing and headed for that direction.

It wasn't that she didn't want Brogan dead. In fact, she would kill him herself if she had the chance to. It was just that she couldn't allow him to die under her watch.

She was a perfectionist. She was already dissatisfied by losing a bet, having Brogan dead was enough for her to be removed as the head of the younger generation in her clan. Although she was the most talented, if the clan really wanted to try, they could nurture someone even better than her if they were willing to spend the resources In their hands.

Brogan also knew he was in the wrong which was why he remained silent all the way here. But when he heard her question him, he couldn't help but get irritated and immediately retorted.

"I went back there to retrieve the kill points that you lost! How could you be so careless!" Brogan shouted.

"Hehe. So what? You think you could beat someone who tossed me around like a play thing during our duel?" Phyllida chuckled darkly as she asked.

Brogan and the rest of his people still alive turned pale in an instant and he stammered "I-is that true?"

"You've seen his strength already. And I'm guessing he was only able to bring out 40% of his strength due to the injuries you caused since you guys aren't dead yet." She sneered.

But soon, she rubbed her hands against her forehead.

"But since he owed you a favour, he shouldn't hold a grudge. Right? "Brogan whispered.

"That should be the case but from what I saw back there, he didn't seem to value the favours he owes. I had to threaten him for him to back down." Phyllida frowned as she was deep in thoughts.

"I thought he was going to kill you all no matter what and intended to test out the might of the safe zones weapons on him. As long as he disobeyed my words, he would be locked onto in an instant and would have being dead by now. But, this guy is just too smart. I had originally intended to make friends with him but wasn't able to because of your mistake. I wanted to eliminate him but he didn't fall for the trap. This is very troublesome. We can't have someone like that as our enemy in the institute as that would spell trouble for us."

She seem to be incredibly worried about this. She had wanted to make David owe her a favour and had intended for it to pay it back at a much later time. As that would bind them as friends.. But after Brogan's stunt, she had immediately chosen to eliminate him at last minute but the guy just didn't fall for it.
