423 7.47 – Is The Shorty Ezikiel No Longer Mute? – War Of The Wickeds

Bing Shi was always bad at putting on the ‘white lotus’ act, especially before the cameras, and this room, together with the whole arena, was filled with cameras. It would usually only make people hate her more by how fake it looked, according to her acting coach.

She had other means to gain similar results. The only person on whom her ‘pitiful’ act worked was her husband. Just to prove that she sniffed in a non-existent snot as if saying: play along with me, please.

Ziek’s lips twitched in a barely perceptible movement. She would turn the whole school against him if he refused. Throughout her lifetimes, not once did he see her act ‘weak’ before the world.

Even if she always ran away from a fight, she would make it look like a tactical retreat. She had carried this particular stance all her life, so good luck with trying to change her lifestyle that helped her survive through every hardship coming at her.

Liam, who wanted to engulf Silvia in an apologetic embrance, stood rooted in place due to her words, “...” Was it his imagination or was she surrounded by a gigantic warning that said: Do not touch, “What do you mean by the key to success? Ezikiel isn’t an ability user.”

Bing Shi altered her side of truth to suit the situation she was in, “We all know what danger awaits some omegas and betas behind the closed doors. Their sad situation inspired me to work on a new ultimate move: Kiss From Hell. As the name states, it’s an intimate spell that requires me to put you through a state of misery. A near-death experience can completely transform a person, and combined with my healing abilities, one can come out of it stronger. My fall from the window has nothing to do with miss Mia, so I request everyone to stop bullying her. I had to test it on myself first before I could try it on Ezikiel.”

Could anyone remember the scenes in some s where the white lotus bitch would defend the lead, but it would sound more like they were putting more dirt on the lead and more light on themselves? That’s how it looked to Elera when Silvia tried to uphold her reputation. Silvia did too many cruel things to deserve redemption.

Bing Shi pulled out her phone when the timers on the screens indicated for them to approve the names of the people that appeared within the waiting area, “Ezikiel almost died from my kiss, but he came out as a champion with a new voice, which is what really matters, don’t you agree?”

“...” A similar, imaginary warning sign popped before other students: Do not touch. Serious injury or death may occur. As the highest rank, Silvia was automatically assigned a team leader role, but others could vote for someone else if they wanted.

.....

They first thought she became weaker when she appeared with that cane, but it seemed like they were mistaken. She went through a near-death experience, which explained the different presence she had.

|Did you just turn me into a fucking advertisement?|

|”Not just you, but us. US. That’s different.”|

|You are fucking lucky to end up as my wife, or I would have responded with: Go fuck yourself.|

|”What holds you back? I’m quite tolerating.”|

|I fucking love you too much to do that.|

Ziek could be the cheapest sheet of paper, and she could still make one believe that he was a vault of freshly printed banknotes. He couldn’t believe that she was improvising on the go at first, but she was indeed responding to her surroundings promptly.

She didn’t jump off the window because of testing out a skill that didn’t even exist yet. She did it because of what Elera said to her. Also, there was no way in hell for her to predict that he would throw up his guts from a kiss.

Bing Shi used her phone to approve Ziek’s name and immediately voted for herself. She would receive minus points if she lost her position, (the new leader would get plus points).

Ziek walked towards his wife, giving his vote for her as soon as his red name turned green. It didn’t help much, considering she already received the majority of the votes. She decided to become a politician in the past, so he wasn’t surprised she would go for some kind of leadership position again.

He didn’t mind not being the leader for convenience reasons. Ru Quan could never become a ruler again after he tried it once. It wasn’t the type of power he sought; fame and glory meant nothing to him. He was the type of guy, who would march into a battle under the cover of the lowest pawn instead of doing paperwork in a cozy office with a perfectly ironed suit. It was the same for Ziek.

A gate opened at the end of the waiting area, indicating that it was time to choose the weapons. Most of the students, mainly betas, already carried some of their equipment by their side; it was a constant reminder an apocalypse could break out at any moment – their equipment belts were studded with communicators, and emergency kits, along with other necessities.

While Bing Shi matched her gas mask with a tactical vest to look like a futuristic soldier, she scanned the latest weapons on the bright walls, thinking about what would kill the gigantic rats in that jungle. She glanced at Ezikiel, her main weapon of choice, and then grabbed the medical bag and two machine guns as a secondary weapon.

|”I’ve officially awakened Ezikiel’s strength. You are now free to unleash your untamed beast.”|

“...” Ziek simply refused to admit that he could be a worse actor than his wife. His plans of becoming a sweet sugar bum like that fucking nerd were crumbling with each passing second, and it was all her fault.

Bing Shi placed an earpiece inside her ear and crossed the line as the first one, looking like she was confident in everything she did, but in reality, she just made up an armor that would visually strike fear in all who laid eyes upon it. (Others were just waiting until she was done first.)

Well-rounded people like Ziek, who were good basically at everything, waited until others chose their preferred roles they were best at. It was so he could fill the holes in the team in the end. He was the last one to cross the line, which didn’t give the best impression, but his choice of weapons did.

The offensive was the most important role of the military. The military only existed for one thing and one thing only. Combat. Everything else, like logistics, was merely there to make combat easier.

Ezikiel’s choice of equipment seemed to be going for the scouting role – observing the enemy, getting intelligence from the enemy, and ultimately hunting the enemy. Different from solo people like Nathaniel and Riley, he would be the one, who would communicate with the team the most.

Except for Bing Shi, nobody could imagine this shorty as someone talkative as he didn’t utter a word since he appeared.

+—- Author’s note —–+

Ezikiel’s proportions were inspired by Levi from The Attack On Titans, Hiei From Yu YU Hakusho, and so on.

Shorter men can also be very attractive, don’t you agree?
