Chapter 5

Ace found it fascinating that such a strange girl is ranked number one. First is tall, slender, but strong. She has strong eyes, which survey everything. Even though Ace can only see her eyes, Ace can feel that they're not on him. First seemed to be on her toes.


Apparently the person in charge of this whole ordeal thought the Ace should be portrayed as a female as he was given a steampunk outfit that leaned more feminine. However, Ace barely cared since he plays and dips into both. So today he'll be feminine and tomorrow he'll be masculine or maybe stay feminine. It depends on what is needed at that specific moment.


"What do you want?" she rolls her eyes with boredom and slight impatience. Instantly, Ace had to bite his tongue to stop from laughing. What is she in a rush for? Dying? He let go of her wrist so she could turn around to face him.


"Slow down, First. It's not like you have anywhere to go. You can practice your small talk with me," Ace grinned. When she entered the room, instantly, he was jealous of her dress. If he was going to be feminine today, he should at least go all out then. With each step of her dress, her golden halo swished and spun, sparkling and glittering in the most regal and elegant way.


"We're going to all meet up later anyway, so what's with the need to talk to me now?" she questioned with haste. Ace matched her hard eyes with curious ones. She'd be fun to figure out for Ace. First then started to stare Ace down with a hard look in her eyes, one befitting of a battle angel not a pure one.


"Well, if you haven't noticed, this game will continue until there's only one person left. Our alliance of thirteen isn't going to last for long. It's honestly hard to believe that we're going to last even a day-" Ace started but got rudely interrupted.


"Now why is that?" The music got slightly louder so Ace had to step closer for her to be able to hear him.


"You can't be so ignorant to think the thirteen deadliest and hard headed criminals could work together for more than a solid five minutes." Nia glowers up at Ace since he is significantly taller than her, but she made it seem like she was looking down on him.


First straightens her back to appear taller and leans closer. Whispering in Ace's ear, she said, "When surviving, you must use any means necessary. This alliance proves to be an incredibly thick safety net for the time being. From the moment such an alliance is proposed, one must think of what happens after and the next safety net to claim. You can't be so ignorant to forget such a thing." She smiles smugly, turns on her heels, and walks off.


Such a strange girl. It's no shock; she definitely earned her title of First.


And so, Ace grinned and slauntered off to go find his next safety net.
