Level Is Everything

"Argh! You imbecile, what are you doing?"

Sakura's high pitched cry immediately stunned everyone on her party. They are shocked for various reason. Firstly, the sight of an arrow stuck out on her head is weird and grotesque. Secondly, they never thought that Ryou will attack Sakura. Thirdly, since the weapon that Ryou used is bow and arrow, it was highly possible that the KS player was him. Lastly, it seemed that the tempest wolf was lured by Ryou to their party and he have ulterior motives behind it.

While the party was lost in thought, another arrow was launched at Sakura and landed at the same position as before.

"F*CK YOU RYOU! Just you wait tomorrow at the school! You are so dead! I will **** you ****, **** and **** you again, you s*n of a b*tch. "

This time however what left Sakura's party petrified is her reaction. She was throwing a rage move while clutching her head that is stinging with pain.

"To think that such a gentle girl turned into violent, I think my dreams are crushed. The perfect girl in my mind has turned into an ogre." Roy the party leader exclaimed.

"I agree with you, leader. Even such a pretty girl actually has a wicked heart. Just look at the curse that she is spewing around, it contains even more vocabulary than mine when cursing." John the shield bearer was trying to remember some curses that is coming out from Sakura so he can use it later on.

While all of their attention was directed towards Sakura, they forgot about one important thing. They are still facing the tempest wolf. That one moment of carelessness might resulted in the entire party to be wiped out.

The tempest wolf, supported by the latest AI technology won't let the opportunity go. When they are distracted, the tempest wolf is heading towards Levi the mage. Levi himself tried to dodge the attack from the tempest wolf but a combination of clawing and biting attack from the wolf quickly diminished his life.

Noticing the situation that is turning for the worse, Roy the leader decided that they should fall back and giving commands to John the shield bearer.

"John, let's fall back."

"Roger that."

While they are trying to fall back Ryou however on the other hand keep attacking Sakura. His damage isn't enough to kill Sakura so it was only done to intensify the pain that she suffered and angered her further.

Roy and John was running away and it left the tempest wolf searching for another easy target. Its choice falls unto Sakura who is now agonizing upon her misfortune and it was clear that she will die the moment the tempest wolf come close due to how low her defence is.

"F*ck you guys! Why are you running away? You are supposed to protect me! F*CK! I am definitely not going to let this go just like that! You were begging me to come into your party now you're going to leave me just like that?"

Sakura now has lost her mind due to anger and the pain she felt. Right now her true nature finally comes out and shown for all to see.

"God, Roy. I didn't think that my eyes are that bad to fail see through someone character like this."

"Same as me John. At first I thought that I see a goddess. Who knows it was a demon in a goddess skin instead. Anyway, good bye!"

"Come back here you imbecile! You boys are only hungry and trying your best to get into my skirt! Come here and at least I'll let you see my panty."

Roy and John can only run away while shaking their head. There's also a notification ring on Sakura's mind soon after.

「You have been kicked out from the party. 」

"Roy! John! AAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHH!"

Sakura was screaming at last because she felt a terrifying pain coming from the feeling of having her body split in two. The tempest wolf didn't let the chance go to waste as it pounced at Sakura and delivering a cleave which cut her abdomen. Sakura pain reception are also set at 50% just like any other player that didn't lowered the pain reception. As a priest that stayed behind and tasked to heal the party, she didn't feel the need to lower the pain reception because she never suffered a damage up to now. She always hides behind her party member and hop on from one party to another party and joined Roy's party just recently.

Ryou feels elated because he achieved his goal. The first one is to reveal Sakura's real nature to her party and the second one is causing her death. Of course there will be repercussion later from her at school but he didn't think much about it since everyday he already suffered from her and nothing going to change much. If there's one thing that Ryou miscalculated, it will be Roy's party. He didn't know how they will react to this since they are being dragged to Ryou's scheme.

After killing Sakura, the tempest wolf seemed to have lost interest and turned his body and leave. It was also because at that point Ryou, Roy, and John are already out of its attacking range. After running for some time and sure that the tempest wolf isn't coming after them, the three slowed down before finally stopped to take some rest.

"Heh, boy. I thanked you for revealing her true nature to us."

"Yeah, it will be a disaster later if she becomes our comrade. Not to mention there will be some more petty tricks and scheme that she is capable of. Even now I feel shiver in my spine seeing how a graceful girl can utter some dirty words fluently from her mouth."

"Don't mention it, it was my p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. Alright then, I still have something to do. If you'd excuse me."

Ryou was trying to stand up but Roy and John each have their arms on his shoulder and pressing him down.

"Aren't you forgetting something boy?"

"Eh?"

With a smile on his face, Roy reminded Ryou that they still have some unfinished business.

"Two of our party member have something to talk with you."

"Eh, I don't know any of them okay?"

"Are you sure? I think you might remember something. It was fisherman, village, bait."

Finally, Ryou notices what is going on. With no choice left, he can only silently wait for his impending fate.
