Chapter 14: The Third Player

Nitta and I pointed our swords at each other, standing two meters apart. If we’d been playing DEC, that would’ve been more than close enough to exchange countless slashes and weapon skills within a fraction of a second. Despite that, Nitta was perfectly calm, wholly comfortable to throw a horrible question my way in her dreamy voice. “I hope you’re not planning to keep up your PKing in this world, are you?”

“God, no! Do you really think I’d kill people in the real world?”

“Maybe I’ll become this world’s Mav then...”

Had she gone crazy? I stopped using my sword for a moment as her statement stunned me until I recalled we were in class. As such, I carried out half-hearted thrusts with my sword to disguise our whispered conversation so the instructors didn’t think we were messing around. I tensed up every time Nitta attacked with her sword, even though I knew she wouldn’t hurt me.

“I was joking, god!” she snorted. “I know this world and DEC are different, like in how its people think, how their lives actually matter, you know. So, maybe we could share our thoughts.”

Life at high school here made me forget that I’d come to a new world. Unlike my old world, some clans had no qualms spilling each other’s blood in their pursuit for power. And nobles tended to abuse commoners without fear of reproach from the law. The dungeon was the worst place of all, showing how you’d be safer in the worst gang-ridden slum of my world.

But just because we lived here now didn’t mean we had abandoned the morals of our previous world. It was inevitable to want to rid this new world of its discrimination and punish those who abused human rights and caused mayhem. We’d need to research and adapt to this world if we wanted to carve out peaceful lives, remembering the different laws and standards of order as well as the value of human lives.

Nitta wanted us to share our thoughts about these matters, but...

“But I barely know you,” I said. “We hardly ever spoke in the game and spent more time killing each other. We’ll have to learn to trust each other before we can share our thoughts, don’t you think?”

“Oh my God, are you hitting on me?” Nitta clapped her hands to her cheeks, pretending to be embarrassed.

Her reaction felt out of place given our history, as my strongest memory of her was that she’d always swoop in to kill me as soon as our eyes met. Embarrassing as it was to admit, Nitta was beautiful enough to turn heads wherever she went that I would’ve fallen head over heels for her gentle smile if I had never found out who she was. That was a moot point now. I had found out, and I wouldn’t catch feelings for her. Not positive ones, anyway.

With that said, I wanted to check a few things with her since it wouldn’t be fair for me to judge her.
