Luke dashed towards the ground, using some of his mana in the process to catch me before I landed above the dull handles from the swords. Once he stood on the handles, he carefully walked to have me land in his arms. He instantly noticed my light gown starting to get dyed with crimson red.
Meanwhile, he had to get rid of the swords trying to plunge into me as he carried me in his arms. We couldn't use a barrier since the other districts would discover the existence of mana. All he could do was to dodge the swords while running away from them. I wondered why the host and staff were still staring at us instead of getting some help or attempting to handle the situation themselves. It had to be clear now that one of us was injured.
While Alex and Shelly were busy with destroying the rest of the swords that followed us. There was no one to help us. Luke frowned as my breathing started to become fainter. He pushed himself to use heal to close my wounds before more blood poured out. Thankfully, everyone was too busy watching Alex and Shelly.
"Don't close your eyes Rika," his voice quivered.
I nodded my head as I didn't have the energy to talk anymore. Luke's arms trembled as he struggled to continue sprinting for our lives. He sent a message to Lucius for help, giving up on the competition. Within a few minutes, Lucius and Belle opened the door to watch the chase. They were stunned how nobody was stepping in.
Lucius took out his sword with no choice as he began to slash the swords that chased after Luke. With each powerful strike, the swords vanished into thin air. Alex, who noticed that the family sword was effective, pulled out his own. The sounds of clanging echoed inside the ballroom as more swords disappeared.
When Alex and Shelly descended onto the ground after crushing all the swords in the air, the host unfroze from her spot. It was like they didn't know that the situation was as dangerous as the daggers that flew towards us near the podium. Everyone watched this spectacle as if it was a planned show.
"The winners are Luke de Impalia Roselia, Rika de Impalia Roselia, Michelle Monete Locast and Alex de Monete," she announced.
"How could they think of adding swords to their performance?" Someone from the second district whispered.
"The people from the first district do things on another level," His friend murmured.
"How could you leave my younger siblings to fend for themselves while swords rushed to kill them?" Lucius yelled at the staff.
"Those were real?" The staff shivered.
"Don't you see my younger sister bleeding in her dress?" Lucius pointed out.
The staff gasped as if they were seeing a dying person in Luke's arms. The people in the audience froze as they overheard the conversation. This was when everyone started to realize that it wasn't part of the show. They began to run towards the exit, hoping they wouldn't become the next target.
"Let's pack our stuff, we're leaving," Lucius let us know.
I spotted Evan, who also trembled in anger. He ran down the stairs to join us on the main floor. Lucius, who didn't have any patience left, didn't go through his memories to recall that Evan was my younger twin brother. Instead, he coldly asked, "is there anything you need from us?"
"I want to join you. My older sister, she looks like she's dying," Evan watched me unable to move.
Alex pushed Evan towards the ground, who was in front of Luke as Shelly screamed when she noticed another sword rushing towards my neck. Luke swiftly dodged from Shelly's warning as he spun to kick the blade of the sword. Meanwhile, Lucius and Belle scanned the rest of the room to find if there were any remaining.
"We're going back to the second district," Lucius told us to quickly run to our rooms.
"I don't know who you are, but please stay away from younger siblings," he coldly answered Evan, forgetting his worry for me.
"My parents would want me to watch over my older sister!" Evan clenched his fists, overcoming his fear of how he narrowly dodged a sword.
"Do you have any power to help them out? You'll become a burden to your older sister," Lucius quickly went through his memories.
"But still, I want to do anything to help," Evan whispered.
Instead of responding to Evan, everyone froze when another note started to drift down from the roof. It reminded us of the fire and other dangers coming with it. Since the second district knew about the existence of mana, it would be safer to quickly move there.
[I want to be free] The note opened.
"Belle, message everyone to return to the second district as fast as possible or pack some of the stuff in their room if they have the time. We're not going to our rooms anymore, we're directly going to the second district," Lucius asked one of us to call for a car.
Alex opened his marble as he quickly called for a self-driving car. He sighed in relief when it would be coming within the next five minutes. Lucius' marble vibrated as Ben called him from the sudden message.
"I'm running to the ballroom with all the things in their room," he panted.
"The medicine?" Lucius tried to confirm.
"Everything," Ben slammed the doors of the ballroom open.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
