Chapter 88 Talk No Jutsu
Chapter 88 Talk No Jutsu
" Well, well, well, look guys…. It's the hound". Keane Kingsman said as he strolled down the hill.
" It's the beast! The mad-mage! The HOUND! ". Roy Kingsman said as he made exaggerated hand expressions to make his words sound more dramatic.
" It's a bitch ". One of the Kingsman lackeys said as the entire group broke out into a big " Ooooooo "
Max knew that he was fucked when he saw 12 enemies laugh and mock him with weapons in hand.
If he got offended and fought the conventional way, he was sure to be killed before he could injure a single opponent.
It was a dire situation, and in such dire situations there was only one ultimate technique that could maybe help him survive.
Growing up watching anime, Max always hated this technique, because the hero seemed to always get an unreal boost out of the trick and somehow always come back strong to beat the villains, however, now this was the only technique he could lean on.
It was a desperate time, and he needed to undertake desperate measures.
It was his master " Jhonny English" who taught him this invincible technique to be used in extreme situations, and today Max was forced to unveil it.
It was time for Max to use the ' Talk no jutsu '.
Sucking a breath of cold air, Max said " So the secret is true, HA , never thought the honourable Kingsman clan scions would fall to these depths".
" What secret? What fall? What are you talking about ? ". Roy Kingsman asked with a frown on his face.
" HA! Acting all innocent, PFFT, I know it, I can see it in the eyes of the subordinate behind you, it's true! ". Max continued to build suspense as Roy Kingsman turned and looked into the eyes of his subordinate behind him, who had absolutely no clue what the fuck was going on.
" Is there something on my back? ". Roy asked
" N-no boss, " the subordinate replied.
Irritated, Roy turned towards Max and said " What the hell are you talking about, You beast! Spill or else I'll kill you "
" You are going to kill me anyways, so NO I'm not going to spill it here, I'd rather be killed and spill it across the academy that the rumours are true.
At least that way I'll die with the satisfaction of knowing that I spat on your face by keeping the secret before I died!
COME ON! I DARE YOU TO KILL ME, HAHAHAHAHA ". Max laughed like a madman, he was sucking the Kingsmen into his plan.
"The hell, if you don't spill the secret we won't kill you, but instead torture you to death! ". Keane Kingsman said in a cold tone.
" N-no, no, you're lying, the tournament is still ongoing, you can't possibly have enough time to torture me, you just have to kill me and be done with it and go onto other bases!
You can't waste your time torturing me, I call your bluff ". Max said, sounding a little scared in what was an Oscar worthy performance.
" Oh we have all the time in the world to torture you! Men! Bind him, we will pluck his nails off his fingers! ". Roy Kingsman ordered as the others rushed to restrain Max.
" N-no, no, not my nails, nooooo ". Max pretended to be scared as he tried to dodge the people who were restraining him, however, he eventually allowed them to capture him and be restrained.
" Damn you Roy Kingsman, not only are you ' that ' but also a sadist, how far has the Kingsman clan fallen ". Max said, adding to the suspense.
" I'm what? " Roy asked, curiosity killing him, but Max pretended to purse his lips shut as he closed his eyes and acted like he was prepared for the pain but not to reveal the secrets.
" Fine, don't say shit, I'll torture the information out of you... pluck his nail ". Roy Kingsman ordered as one of his subordinates painfully plucked Max's nail off his left thumb.
" Aghhh, it hurts " Max shouted as his shout sounded real and full of pain.
This was partly because it did hurt badly, but partly also because he was acting.
Max's plan currently was simple, even at the cost of being brutally tortured Max wanted to keep the charade up for as long as the clock ran down to 1000 teams and his team qualified and to do so he was prepared to take on whatever degree of pain his opponent had to offer.
" It will hurt even more! Tell me the secret! What false rumours are currently being circulated about the Kingsman clan? TELL ME! ". Keane Kingsman pressured Max, but the latter pursed his lips shut.
" Fine! Again! " Keane ordered as a second nail was ripped off Max's finger, sending fresh waves of pain through his body.

( Meanwhile on the outside )
" Why hasn't Ravan been teleported outside yet? What's going on? ". Anna asked with a slight frown
" As much as I would like to hope that he is fighting the Kingsmen alone, I don't think it's possible ". Sebastian said with a sigh
" Maybe he can control the Kingsmen like he did the undead? ". Anna asked with a hopeful expression
" I highly doubt it, if his ability were so powerful he would have solo dominated the entire round by now ". Asiva brought Anna's hopes back to reality.
" But then what could be going on? It's already 20 minutes since we died? The three of us combined lasted only 15 minutes in a fight against the 12 of them, can Ravan alone hold out for 20? ". Anna inquired
" I have no clue " Asiva said, as she bawled her hands in a fist in anger.
" Guys there is no point speculating, we will find out the truth today, one way or the other.
We have already been eliminated, no matter what the result of our discussion is here, it won't affect what's going on inside, so there is no point to waste energy over it ". Sebastian said as he ignored the conversation and started doing push ups.
