Continuation of the previous chapter...

If you are confused right now apologies. 

Remember, the motto of this book is: I am so not under any obligation to make sense to you.

So what do you expect? *grins likes a Chesire cat and then fades out*

(A/N: From here on out I'm gonna walk my own path)

Khun found us a nice hiding spot under and behind some rocks. "There are two hundred and sixty-eight Regulars remaining..." he said, checking his Pocket. 

"Already?" Bam asked. 

I blinked at him. "Have you never killed anyone before?" 

When he didn't answer I hastily added, "If it helps, I'm more of a peacemaker than a fighter, too," 

"That reminds me," Khun said, and his piercing blue gaze unnerved me again. "Eurasia, which one of the 13 Months did you receive? For that matter, who was the princess that lent it to you?" 

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that," I replied smoothly, but inwardly I was panicking. "Y'know, since there's the whole 'death by execution' threat hanging over our heads." 

"I see..." I could tell he wasn't ready to drop the subject yet, but thankfully he dropped it. 

"How much longer until the test is over?" Bam asked. 

"Not much," Khun replied. "There are only a few people left." 

That was good news for me, too. I knew that having Colorless December was an honor, but honestly, I was a teensy bit afraid of it. Just like how I was still a teensy bit afraid of Enne. 

"YOU DAMN TURTLES! WHERE ARE YOU?! COME ON OUT SO I CAN HUNT YOU AND BECOME STRONGER!! 

"COME ON OUT AND LET'S FIGHT!!!" 

"One guess who that is," Khun said drily before Rak stomped into view. 

He roared in triumph and pointed his spear at Bam. "Black turtle! Fight me!" 

"What about me?" I protested, feeling neglected. 

Rak huffed. "I will hunt you later, white turtle! Your weapon seems dangerous and I want to hunt black turtle first!" 

Rak swung the spear down. It collided with Khun's briefcase, releasing a massive wave of wind. As Rak readied his spear for a second hit...

"Ta-ta-ta-daaaah! Stop! Stop, Regulars!" 

They froze. 

"Survivors, congratulations. By the way, anyone still fighting after the time limit ended will fail the test. A second mini-test will now take place. Please find two allies within five minutes. Naturally, there will be one group of four due to the extra Regular. As long as all of the teammates are touching when the countdown ends, you pass!" 

"A group of four, huh?" Khun looked at Rak. "Guess that means we're teaming with him."  

"WHAT?! You are my prey!" 

"Let's do it!" Bam agreed. 

"I'll be the distractor," I offered. Jumping up and down in front of the crocodile I waved my arms around. "Here! Here! I'll be much more fun to hunt than Bam!!" 

Rak paused and blinked down at me. "What?!" 

In that moment I shouted, "NOW!" 

And at once all three of us latched onto Rak's body, just as the time ran out. 

"The second mini-test is over! We have one team of four! Please do not do anything else and stay in your teams!" 

Rak's roar echoed through the fields. 

"YOU DAMN TUUUUUURTTTLLLLLEESSSSS!!!"
