Limitless Human

???(Girl): Ah, thank you. Thank you so much.

The girl that was previously pale had regained a little bit of her color hearing Ethan. After all it was easy to guess that facing Ana and Josephina would be nothing but suicide. They were companions of the monster. Even if he was the leader, the two of them surely wouldn't be weak in the slighest.

Ethan: Wait. You said anything, right?

???(Girl): Yes.

Ethan: Then you just have to do something for me.

???(Girl): W-What is it?

Whoosh

Ethan: Oh, nothing much. Just pick up the dagger and make a small cut in your face.

Ethan with his free hand threw a dagger at the girls feet causing her to be startle and back away. Hearing him the color she had gained back in her face was gone in an instant.

???(Girl): C-Could it be something else? Please.

The girl in despair couldn't help but ask.

Ethan: Come on. I am waiting for a show. Oh, you better give a good one otherwise you still will have to fight against her.

The girl immediately fell to the ground as the strength in her legs was gone. She had to choose between her life and beauty. Furthermore she had to do herself the second choice.

As time passed the girl hadn't move from her place, causing Ethan to frown.

Ethan: Well... I guess that you appreciate your face more than your life. Ana do it.

Ana wasn't in a better state than the girl on the ground. This precisely scene seemed to bring her back to that nightmare of day where Ethan had taught her and Josephina a little lesson. She remembered why she and her best friend possessed their deep fear to Ethan. He was capable of anything.

What was happening right now was the perfect example. She knew deep in her heart that this was all a ruse for Ethan make them kill someone and give up their morals. At the same time it serve for him to scout out the young men and women.

Steeling herself, she moved to the girl on the ground holding her dagger to tightly as blood could be seen coming out of her hand.

On the other hand, the girl on the ground noticed the changes occurring as she lifted her head in terror.

AH!

HA!

The moment Ana was close to her and was going to swing her dagger, the girl screamed as she grabbed on the dagger imbued on the ground cutting her left cheek.

Ana immediately stopped her dagger from moving as she looked at Ethan.

Ethan: Hmmm.... I asked you for a show.

Hearing Ethan words caused the girl to snap as she put more strength on her hands pulling the dagger across her face creating a cut going from her left cheek to almost her right eye.

Ethan: Now that is one good show. Alright you are free from her. Ana get back here.

Whoosh

Puff

Whoosh

Puff

Some of the group couldn't take it as they subconsciously ran away before dropping to the ground dead with small daggers on their backs.

Ethan: Ana, my dear, go fetch me my daggers. Will you?

Ana: Yes.

Nodding her head Ana walked to the fallen bodies while the rest of the group were even more terrified. They were between life and death. If they stayed there they would live but in constant fear and despair while if they got up and ran away they would die immediately.

Meanwhile Ethan whispered a few words in Josephina ear causing her body to stiff for a moment.

Josephina: I... understand.

Ethan: Now then..... the show must go on right? Next up is Josephina.

Pushing Josephina ahead, Ethan turned his gaze to the girl crying and holding her bloody face.

Josephina: I choose you.

Stepping forward while holding her dagger, Josephina pointed at another girl that had wetted herself.

The girl this time stood up firm as she picked up the small dagger from the ground.

Ethan: Oh, this is getting to interesting. Where is popcorns when you need them?

Each and every word of Ethan caused for more fear and despair to be born in the young men and women hearts.

???(Girl): I have something to ask. I think that I have the right considering the fact that you said we could do anything.

Ethan: Hmmmm..... okay. What is it?

???(Girl): I want to join your group.

Everyone, including Josephina and Ana, were stunned hearing the girl that was currently looking with determination in her eyes at Ethan.

Ethan: "Not bad. Not bad at all." Very well, but as you can see I have a problem in my hands at the moment. Unless you can prove yourself worthy I won't accept you.

HA!!!

Nodding her head a little, the girl walked to the bloody girl as she lifted the small dagger in her hand stabbing in her back.

It was a frightening scene as the bloody girl reacted to the pain. In the end the bloody girl died at the hands of one of her previous colleagues.

Ethan: Good. What is you name?

???(Girl): Layla.

Ethan: A nice name. Congratulations Layla to have joined our group. For that here.

Finishing speaking, Ethan took out a piece of cloth together with water bottle and wrapped sandwich of chicken.

Accepting what Ethan was giving her, Layla sat beside him cleaning the blood on her body with the cloth before starting eat and drink.

Ana: Ethan here.

At the same time Ana returned with the small daggers giving them to Ethan.

Ethan: Good. You and Josephina choose another one to battle.

Ana: Yes.

As some of the group had stood up and ran away the only ones left still alive and to choose from were two guys.

Ana: We each choose one of you.

The two of them seemed to be twin brothers as the only difference between them was the way the hair fell.

As Ana and Josephina were still struggling with the ideia of killing causing their battle power to decrease allowing the two guys to stand a chance.
