Fate/Inheritance

Looking at the silver lights dancing above me I can't help but resent that stupid and maniac instructor over there. Just from the sheer amount of the ice dropping around us makes my brain go overload from the mental strain and information flowing through just to analyze how to dodge this 'rain' without missing an arm or two. As gladly as I may I started to have a more fluid motion in dodging courtesy of Protection from Arrows skill that is surely having a blast right now in growing.

[Shit why is it taking too long you two!?] I talked with the twins inside of me. Looking around us a lot of the kids are barely dodging and using magic to block some smaller ones from this rain even if it's not focused on us. Most importantly I saw an idiot who is just staring blankly at this event like some piece of art!

[Almost done William-san~! Just keep on dodging this wand's structure is fundamentally different from Mystic Codes you know~!] I heard Ruby's boisterous shout. I can't pull out a spear right now or anything from my item box cause surely I will be suspected so without a choice I kept on dodging. Yamada is one of the weird ones he is practically dodging the falling ice with minimal movements alongside a bored look like someone… used to it? Without a choice I kept dodging the ice till I finally noticed the radius of where the ice is dropping is getting smaller and more focused.

'Shit! Hurry up you two!' I hold back the curse nearly going out of my mouth. I kept dodging till I sensed a strong gush of wind and when I looked at the direction of it. I saw just how a human sized ice practically made a huge damn crater on the ground.

"…" The silence overwhelming the kids who was practically cursing around us.

"Ah, f.u.c.k. That's straight up unblockable." I heard the girl who was busy bossing around. She was practically noticeable not because of how cute she is, nor how she easily identified what is going on but the light in her eyes that practically screams of vile thoughts. No matter how she hides it nor ignore it I can sense that she should be in some noble place going 'ohoho~' while splashing wine in the face of a female protagonist from an otome game.

[Got it!] I heard the exclamation from Sapphire. When the information is being given to me verbally I also told Yamada who is starting to sweat now. Nodding we activated the staff in our hands and rushed at the same time. Honestly it literally looks like a magical umbrella now for the barrier is shaped like an umbrella.

"Haaa!" Came the shout of Yamada bashing the ice to bits. But because the umbrella was seemingly not designed to block this huge 'downpour' we needed to flail it around like weapons. Now that we can save some stamina while sprinting I finally got to notice something spectacular. Beside us who was practically just brute forcing it through is a child with short hair. She has two daggers strapped in her waist and is busy weaving-no dancing in this hail storm like it's her own show. I noticed how even if she looked like a boy she has feminine features and body structure so she fits the bill (I am confident in my eyesight to notice a trap so don't question my eyes!).

Shocked at such a sight I noticed what she is actually doing. The girl is actually using a knife and harvesting mushrooms in this 'place! I already noticed that she is that kid staring blankly a second but when I noticed what she was harvesting Ruby's voice chimed in.

[Eh~!? Are those Shock Shrooms!?] Ruby said with a startled tone. Curious I asked her while busy fending myself and also noted how Yamada is moving and trying to emulate it.

[Well they have an official name here but it was usually called Shock Shrooms, it's basically called. They are poisonous mushrooms that when ingested, your body will tingle like you've been electrocuted, followed by paralysis with a high chance of death by cardiac arrest.] She said in a long explanation. What the hell that's scary! I can notice how her pockets are already brimming with those things. Is she trying to cut down the competition!? No with that devil instructor I believe she will secretly mix it with his meals.

"That girl is scary..." I heard Yamada's tired voice. Looking around we already reached the goal. I looked at that girl and she is still busy harvesting those things with a blissful smile. A cute girl with that smile while harvesting dangerous stuff is definitely a no no. I noticed that she was called by that instructor of ours and curious as I may I eavesdropped at their conversation.

"Did you call for me?" Came a dull female voice. Yep those are precursor for psychopathic girls. In a note I later heard that the designated name for her in our training group is no. 1000. While Yamada and mine is 50 and 950 respectively.

"Why do you have those mushrooms?" The cold voice of Instructor Naruan. Is it me or it was slightly shaking? He might had thought it is for him.

"Ah…" That dull voice again. Seems she thought she was found out huh. But the next words came quickly that made me question myself.

"W, would you like to try them?" With shaking hands, I saw her offer one of those things to the instructor.

"I'm alright." Wao! Talk about a poker face he was denying it while taking a step back.

"It, it's tasty." Contrary to her words, she pocketed the mushroom with a relieved look. She ate one of those things! I heard Ruby's shocked voice and the words that came out of her mouth made me designate a name to her.

[I heard Shock Rooms tastes like going to heaven, I don't know how it tastes so I shoved it once to the mouth of an orc.] – Ruby

[What happened?] Came my curious self.

[…It died with a blissful look while twitching.] Yep not going to eat that thing. I observed the girl busy eating a jerky with a beautiful smile and nodded to myself.

'Exotic Glutton is an appropriate nickname to her…' I sagely nodded again and look behind in the path we just walked just in time to see the fourth guy cross that 'rain'.
