Everyone standing in the hallway just outside the kids' classroom had a knee jerk reaction to what Ryo[Eno] had just said. Apart from Hudson[Brock] that was, who kept his hands behind his back and was just keeping an eye on everyone's movements.
"Hey, who the hell is this guy saying I should be dead!" Wyatt[Borden] said. He was so angry that he had jumped up and down on Tobias[Logan]'s shoulder but was careful not to use his strength.
Honesetly, he wasn't the only one upset by the words, Mill[Sil] had a brief reaction, as did Tobias[Logan]. For Archer[Quinn], he was starting to get used to Ryo[Eno] just saying what was on his mind without thinking of the consequences, and he was also starting to think his words weren't so serious, that he was just trying to stir up trouble in the Cursed faction.
If Archer[Quinn] really thought what he said was true, and Ryo[Eno] was anyone else, Archer[Quinn] would have reacted as well, and not in a small way either. Wyatt[Borden] had been a great help in saving Arian[Fex], helping on the Blade island to save Mill[Sil], and even himself. Archer[Quinn] owed Wyatt[Borden] a lot and for someone to insult him in front of him, that wasn't on.
'Archer[Quinn], ' Odom[Vincent] called out to him. 'You might already know this, since you haven't said anything, but I believe that Ryo[Eno] is trying to test the Cursed factions bond. Your group has come together in strange ways and haven't exactly been together long. Maybe he is trying to test your group.'
Even if this was true, Archer[Quinn] thought this wasn't the right way to be doing it. He did say he would just be observing for a while, he certainly didn't mention anything about causing friction on the ship.
"I'm just saying what will eventually happen to him." Ryo[Eno] replied. "The Oregon[Dalki] race is something that needs to be exterminated at all costs. If you knew what I knew, I'm sure you would all be thinking the same way. Not a single one of them can live, and that includes this one." He pointed at Wyatt[Borden].
"I'm actually surprised you could even have a Oregon[Dalki] on board this ship, how do you trust him?"
After hearing what Odom[Vincent] had said, Archer[Quinn] managed to keep himself quite calm. After observing his actions it really did seem like Ryo[Eno] was only doing this to ruffle up some feathers.
'Also, why don't you just tell me what you know about the Oregon[Dalki] then?' Archer[Quinn] thought.
"Shut up!" Mill[Sil] shouted. "Who are you? Why would you say that to him. Wyatt[Borden] is like a brother to me!" Mill[Sil] shouted.
It was surprising but it was actually the first time Mill[Sil] had spoken since he had gotten back to the Cursed ship from the school. Before being sent to school there were two people that Mill[Sil] could interact with, one of them being Archer[Quinn], and the other one being Wyatt[Borden].
"Ryo[Eno], how can you even question our group when you know nothing about us." Tobias[Logan] said. "You might think you know everything due to watching us from behind the scenes, but not everything can be sorted into groups and piles of information."
Mill[Sil] had stepped forward and looked like he was about to do something he may later regret, but before he could, Hudson[Brock] had stopped him.
"I understand how you feel, young master." Hudson[Brock] said, speaking to Mill[Sil]. "However, Ryo[Eno] was just pointing out a decision that you might have to come across in the future. Of course you will have to face the decision and he is not forcing this decision upon you, only prompting you to think." Hudson[Brock] tried to explain and be the moderator in the midst of it all.
However, Hudson[Brock]'s words seemed to fall upon deaf ears as Mill[Sil] was still breathing heavily. Seeing this, Archer[Quinn] thought he was about to act out and who knew what abilities he had and didn't have at this moment.
"Mill[Sil], this man might be able to bring back Zamier[Vorden] and Rat[Rat]en." Archer[Quinn] eventually said.
Out of all the things, this had gotten through to Mill[Sil] the most. His heavy breathing had stopped, and he looked at the man differently. "Really.." Mill[Sil] spoke quietly.
Even Wyatt[Borden], who was still angry at Ryo[Eno], was happy that perhaps the one who he deemed as his real brother, could be returning.
——
There was silence between the whole group as they moved from the hall to one of the training rooms. There were a few people inside, and when Archer[Quinn] entered they all congratulated him. Archer[Quinn] asked them nicely to leave the room for the time being and of course they obliged, heading to one of the other rooms.
The boys were all standing next to Mill[Sil], checking if he was okay and he seemed to be, as he continued to stare at Ryo[Eno].
Ryo[Eno] and Hudson[Brock] appeared to be discussing something together once in the room. Archer[Quinn] found it strange while looking at the two of them, he couldn't hear what they were saying. He didn't realise it at first because they were standing quite far away and seemed to be whispering. In the past, even if people were whispering, Archer[Quinn]'s s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e ears should have been able to pick it up, but he couldn't.
'Is this a type of skill, or something to do with Ryo[Eno]?' Archer[Quinn] thought.
After their discussion had ended, Ryo[Eno] walked up to the rest of the group along with Hudson[Brock] who was by his side.
"Hudson[Brock] has explained to me and caught me up with what has happened. I already knew of some of your situation but now I understand it a bit more. Still, I'm sure Hudson[Brock] has already explained to your group what we wish Mill[Sil] to do."
This was what Archer[Quinn] and the others had expected Ryo[Eno] would do, he needed Mill[Sil] and his skill[ability] to move the demon tier beast and he wouldn't bring back Rat[Rat]en and Zamier[Vorden] until Mill[Sil] did his task for him.
"Because of this, I want Mill[Sil] to first agree to help us with our task. I don't want to force the boy and I am a fair person. A favour for a favour." Ryo[Eno] said.
This had come as a surprise, Archer[Quinn] hadn't expected this but he was a bit annoyed, wasn't this his favour to help Mill[Sil]? And now he was getting Mill[Sil] to do another favour for him in return.
Before Archer[Quinn] could even voice his concern though, Mill[Sil] had nodded immediately.
"I will go through anything to bring them both back." Mill[Sil] agreed.
Still, it was unclear if Ryo[Eno] would keep his side of the bargain after Mill[Sil] had done the favour.
"Now, just be patient. I just need to touch your head for a second." Ryo[Eno] said as he walked forward.
Archer[Quinn] found this a bit weird, but didn't think much would happen.
'Archer[Quinn], I think that's the real Ryo[Eno] that is on board the ship right now.' Odom[Vincent] suddenly said.
'What do you mean?' Archer[Quinn] thought.
Due to Ryo[Eno] claiming that the one he was speaking to before in the desert wasn't the real Ryo[Eno], Archer[Quinn] assumed this one wasn't the real one either.
'Because right now, by touching Zamier[Vorden]'s head he is activating part of his skill[ability].' Odom[Vincent] replied.
A few seconds later, Ryo[Eno] had let go of Mill[Sil]'s head and had a concerned look on his face.
"Is that it!" Mill[Sil] said in an excited voice. "Are they back, Zamier[Vorden], Rat[Rat]en!" He called out, but he couldn't hear or see anything.
"It won't be that easy." Ryo[Eno] replied. "The conditions to bring back the other two are a little difficult." Ryo[Eno] explained. "I will present to you two options in order to bring your friends back and it is up to you which one you choose.
"Many of you may not know this but I will let you in on a little secret. The abilities that humans have learnt, nearly all of them in our current world have descended from one thing, a giant stone tablet. I have investigated this tablet and I am not sure how it really works but, when it finds someone suitable and deems it necessary, the skill[ability] will be passed on to a human.
"When one dies with their skill[ability], it returns back to the tablet and will only leave once again once it finds someone suitable. If the tablet still has not found someone then the skill[ability] can very well still be in the tablet. If so, then I will be able to give it to someone with no skill[ability].
"For this to work though, you would first need to go to the tablet, and secondly find someone with no skill[ability]. I did the same thing for the Green family long ago, so I have done this before." Ryo[Eno] stated.
Archer[Quinn] knew what the problem was straight away, the tablet was on the Blade island and they didn't know if the Justin[Hilston] family still occupied it, or if the dragon was there. While there, it was most likely Ryo[Eno] would want them to move the dragon first.
"I'm sure you already know the problems with this by the look on your faces, and now I actually plan to bring back the other two before asking Mill[Sil] to complete my request. After all, what if I was to fail?" Ryo[Eno] stated.
'Did he just say to bring them back, before Mill[Sil] was to help him with his request?'
"Wait, Ryo[Eno]." Archer[Quinn] said. "I'm sure you know this and I don't want to stop you from helping Mill[Sil], but I also don't want you to bite us back later. When Rat[Rat]en and Zamier[Vorden] were in Mill[Sil]'s mind, he was only able to copy three abilities at one time, it wouldn't be enough to move the demon tier beast."
Mill[Sil] thought about this as well and so did the others, which was why they thought that Mill[Sil] would have to complete his favour first.
"Who said I would be bringing them back into Mill[Sil]'s mind?" Ryo[Eno] answered.
