"No matter what you say, I won't believe you are a Diamond player." She added.
"I'm not a diamond player--"
"--Then how can you fly?" She cut him off.
Michael turned to her in mild annoyance. "I'm getting to that." He looked ahead.
"Remember the skill I used to stop those bullets fired by Rick and his Vice?"
Jennifer nodded.
"I discovered another use for it, Lifting myself. That is; I can fly with the use of the skill."
Jennifer was silent for a moment, then asked. "Do you have enough Mana for that? A skill that good will either be in the Rare-class or Elite-class. It'll surely consume Mana."
Michael just smiled, not saying anything.
[Brainwave] was a skill rewarded by the system for killing that behemoth. It can be used without Mana, but if used for a long time, it will only cause him a slight headache. Nothing more.
He couldn't tell her all that. Jennifer is his childhood friend, but humans' hearts are unpredictable.
He already learned his lesson.
Jennifer sighed, She stared at his side profile for a while before asking. "Why are you challenging the Viper Guild? As far as I know, they had no encounter with you."
"True, but there are some things that need to be set right."
"Set right? You mean by destroying their guild. Wait..." Her eyes widened in shock.
"You not only want to destroy them but also humiliate them in public, that's why you are requesting for a Guild war. But... Kay don't even know you, is this really worth it?"
Michael sneered.
"I don't have anything against Kay but his father. As the saying goes, The child will have to pay for his father's crimes."
"His Father?"
Jennifer thought for a moment. Her face turned paled instantly.
"ARE YOU MAD?!!! HIS FATHER IS A GOLD MEDAL 4-STARS HOLDER!!!!" She yelled at him.
Michael rubbed his finger in his ear. "Do you have to scream in my ear?" He asked. "And don't you think I know that?"
"Wait... You know Kay's father is a gold medal player?" Jennifer was confused. "Then why are you till going on with this?!"
Kay's father is one step below her on the leader ranking board. She could be on top 'cause of her Score. And now... Someone who is still a bronze medal player want to face sure a player!
"His father traveled 1 month ago, he's out of the city. I can deal with his son and Guild for now."
"You are too arrogant Micky. Didn't you wonder where he is?" Jennifer shook her head. She was now having a second thought about this Guild war.
If it's only the Guild war battle. They could win, but Michael is going after the son of one of the most dangerous player on the leader ranking board. Even she had to think twice before facing Kay's father.
"Is that important?" Michael turned to her.
Jennifer chuckled in frustration hearing his question. "How many ranking do you know in AI?" She asked.
"Two: The Leader ranking board and Guilds' ranking board." Michael answered in confusion, not getting why she asked.
"You are wrong. There are a total of 20 Cities in the world, among these 20; there are five cities known as: The Five Nations. Amerisa is the first Biggest, wealthiest, and strongest out of the five. So we have far more stronger players that you can ever think of..." She paused for a moment and looked ahead.
"...These five cities Created a new ranking in AI. Known as; The Demigods' ranking board. For thirty years after its creation, only 20 players out of the whole Amerisa could enter. The other cities have even fewer players, In front of those in the Demigods' Ranking. Even Joker who is a Diamond player will have to show respect to them, they arethe at the pinnacle of powers beyond our Imagination."
"How Is all these related to Kay's father." Michael asked with a serious expression.
"Kay's father is planning on becoming The student of the first placeholder. Hundreds have tried, but only ten succeeded, I think he is trying his luck."
"Ten out of hundreds. He won't succeed." Michael said flatly.
"Don't you get it?! Those in the Demigods' ranking could destroy a small city within five minutes. Not to mention with the use of their pets! If he succeeded. He'll have the backing of a player in the Demigods' ranking."
"If they are as powerful as you said. Those in the Demigods' ranking, they won't pay any attention to a gold medal player. They will only focus on Diamonds."
"I hope you are right." Jennifer relaxed on her seat.
'I don't know what Kay's father did to you? Even with what I said, you are still matching onward.' She tapped on her bracelet.
Beep!
AI's voice sounded in his head.
Michael turned to her and said. "Open it."
The next moment. A holographic Green card appeared hovering above his bracelet.
"That's the invitation card for the class gathering." Jennifer stated in a calm tone.
Michael nodded, he stopped the car in front of the hospital, then turned to her. "Don't worry Jennie. No matter what happened, I'll never do something that'll risk the life of those closest to me. I'm going after the viper for revenge not to find my death, All you have to do is; look after yourself and Don't think so much." He patted her head, Then got out of the car.
Jennifer blinked in shock. 'When last have I heard him call me "Jennie"?' She looked at him through the front glass as he walked around the car.
"Aren't you coming?" Michael asked.
"Wait." She got out and walked up to him.
Michael waited.
Jennifer stopped two feet from him. "Don't tap my head again, I'm older than you."
Michael walked closer to her that their nose could almost touch. "One year older. That means nothing to me, And... breathe."
With that said he walked away, leaving a stunned and flush face Jennifer behind.
'I thought?'
"Phew..."
She sighed in relief. Calming down her beating heart. With her emotions settled she quickly followed behind him.
