Chapter 316
You are confident .
It could get you killed , he told me .
Then the other player will be eliminated , I told him , shrugging a shoulder as I turned back to the knives .
This week yes , Levi said , folding his arms across his chest .
But next week will be death matches and that confidence of we wont save you worry about that next week , I replied simply without looking at him .
Ill worn He was quiet for a moment before he barked out laughter , startling me once more .
I turned to look at him and he ran his fingers through his hair .
Well , youve certainly impressed me already Miss Montague , he told me , turning to walk away .
I just hope you live to see the end .
And with those parting words , he walked away .
I turned back to the knives , my mind already made up .
I grabbed them and wandered back towards the others who were patiently waiting .
While I stood with the others , I took my time putting the knives in certain parts of my attire .
I wedged one in each of my combat boots , another in the back pocket of my legs , and others in each of my front pockets .
The handles were black and blended in with my leggings well enough .
At that moment I was glad I chose the ones with the pockets .
Tabby saw me as I walked onto the arena with the others .
She glanced behind me at the others who were carrying their weapons and practicing .
Then her eyes studied me , noticing the knives in my boots and pockets , her eyes widening You got here early ? She asked when I approached I nodded .
Apparently , I was chosen as a top 5.
We got to choose our weapons first , I told her .
Theres limited supplies of each weapon so you better get there fast , I proceeded to warn Congrats , she said, a small frown on her lips .
Her tone was almost dismissive , and I could tell her mind was elsewhere .
I couldnt tell if she was happy for me … or upsee Well good luck out there , she added as she sauntered over to the others who were lining up to choose their weapons next .
Judy ! I turned to see Sammy walking towards me with a right smile .
Good luck today .
I came to support you .
I was surprised to see her ; I thought she would be with her boyfriend supporting him , not supporting the competition .
What about your boyfriend ? I asked .
Shouldnt you be on his team ? She shrugged .
Hes Group A so he already went yesterday , she explaine How did lie do ? I asked , not wanting to make it sound like I was fishing for information , even though I was .
It Ednt hurt to find out where the others stood .
He did time .
He had to see a medie for a minor injury , but he cleared him for the next round , she told me .
He left me all alone today .
Something about working out with is buddies , So , I figured Id come here and show you Some support .
Chapter 316
I nodded thoughtfully .
Well , I could use all the support I could get .
Ive never actually used these things before , I admitted , patting my pockets that held the knives .
But Ive used daggers , so Im sure they arent much different .
Just smaller , thinner , and much lighter than Im used to .
She frowned .
You should have chosen a weapon you were good at to increase your chances , she told me .
You could get hurt , if you arent careful .
What better way to impress the judges ? I asked , smirking .
I might even impress myself .
She chuckled .
Well , good luck .
Maybe we can hang out later? She suggested .
I kind of wanted to do a girls night or something .
Friends dont come easy to me and you and Nan seem like really fun girls .
That would be great .
If you see Nan , can you tell her to wall for me after the match ? Sure , she said , then she turned and sauntered off .
I went towards the center of the arena to prepare for the battle and get into position .
My eyes wandered around the stadium until they found Gavin , seated with the other Lyca Chairmen .
Lycan Mica was talking to him , but he didnt seem to be paying attention .
His eyes were on me .
I held his eyes for a long while , time seeming to stand still .
My heart was pounding heavily in my chest as heat rose in my cheeks .
It was only when I saw Alpha Levi staring at me that I managed to pull my eyes away from where they were seated .
Welcome to the second portion of the competition , the announcer spoke through the loudspeaker , silencing the murmuring audience .
This time you will be using weapons .
Killing is forbidden , and if its done , youll be eliminated .
This is not a death match .
You are judged based on your skills using weapons and your ability to aim properly .
Medics are nearby ; if you are too injured to continue , youll be taken to the infirmary and eliminated from the competition .
Good luck .
The crackling of the loudspeaker made me flinch and then the announcer spoke again after a long pause .
