Gaju - One

Chapter 22 - One for One

Near the complex where they received a briefing from the Professor.

Two bodies of children lying on the ground. Their bodies turn blue in some parts. Everyone here must know that they're both dead.

They were the ill-fated Candidates who died at the hands of Gama. When Koga hesitated to finish off his enemy. Gama unhesitatingly proposes himself to the Professor and Gama becomes the first to qualify for Stage Three.

Gama glanced at Tien, "you see, that's what you idolized? Weak and totally opinionated" Gama said slowly.

"Feelings are something that is not needed to survive. There's only 'me' and only 'me' for survival."

"If there were only you and Koga on a remote island and you could only survive by eating each other, what would you do?"

"Passionate and let Koga eat you? Just for the sake of 'feelings' or 'love'? An absurd concept that arises due to the limitations of our brain in translating electrical signals in our body."

"I'm a genius."

"Feelings, love and emotions, did not affect me at all in my decision-making. I would kill without a doubt if it was indeed the most logical course of action to take."

"As it is today," Gama said to his soulmate Tien.

But the remaining four pairs of soulmates shuddered in horror at the Night Stalker's words. Back then, even Koga and Koma decided inwardly not to look for trouble with the Genius.

"Professor, me and my soulmate don't need to go to the forest anymore, do they?" ask Gama to the Hollogram Professor.

"Of course not. I always keep my promises. Please return to your dormitory and wait for the results of this Elimination Test," replied the Professor with a small laugh.

Gama laughed and walked back towards the Complex.

Tien immediately caught up with Gama and did not look at Koga, who has been his idol for more than two years.

When they had moved away from the place and Gama felt that the surveillance cameras in the place were not too much. Gama breathed a long breath.

His black face looked like it was holding back vomit.

This is the first time he's killed people and he knows them. Gama is not quiet and loner like Gaju. He is so sociable and sociable. Gamma also likes to joke.

And only he knew that the figure of the Mad Genius Candidate was something he had deliberately created to intimidate other Candidates. Especially physical-based Candidates such as Koga, Koma or Aju.

How Gama was actually a gentle person and could not hurt other beings at all.

Because with the intelligence he had, the first thing that astonished him was life. How are living things created? Where is life? What makes something 'living' and distinguishes them from inanimate objects?

For someone who really appreciates 'life' like Gama, you can imagine how bad he was when he killed his two colleagues.

Tien who was looking at Gama from behind and felt that there was something a little strange about the black boy asked quietly, "Gama, are you okay?"

Gama shook his head and walked back towards the dormitory. There were only two shadows of the little boy visible inside the vast Complex that afternoon.

\=\=\=\=\=

There are only four candidates in this field. Koga and Koma and two pairs of weak Candidates whose fate is now in the hands of both of them.

"Koga, Coma. Time keeps going. Make a quick decision" said the professor.

"You too, you want to stay here or you want to get into the forest?" the Professor asked the two pairs of Candidates whose bodies were trembling with fear.

"We want to get into the Forest, Professor," replied one of the men.

"OK, please!" answer the Professor.

They do have below average abilities according to the size of the Island. But according to outside world standards, they should be in the category of above average smart.

Let alone the intelligent, the foolish know that if told to choose between 100% must die at the hands of Koga/Koma or 50% chance of survival in the Forest, of course they will choose the second option.

Therefore the four of them moved quickly towards the Forest and half ran. Wish they could have as far away as Koga or Koma.

But hope remains hope.

A shadow suddenly appeared in front of them. The fastest candidate on the island. Commas.

"I'm sorry, but I have to do this" Koma said softly with a sad face.

In the next second, two bodies were stiffened with their heads separated from their bodies. Blood flowed from their headsless necks.

Koga, Songnam and Em are aghast.

"What was that?" whispered Songnam slowly.

Songnam used to love Koga and to this day, she still has the same feeling. As great as any koma. But he had never seen a Koma in action before. Not in the state of a fight involving lives like just now.

Coma movement is so fast that other candidates cannot see it.

All they saw was Koma disappearing and suddenly he was standing against the four men.

Then Koma said something slow, maybe an apology?

Then, Koma waved his hand towards the two people and the next second, their heads separated from his body. And even more terrifying, the gaze of the person who was floating with his head did not show at all an expression of pain. There is confusion about what happened.

The professor smiled in satisfaction at the Candidate whom he admired. He praised her two years ago and admitted that he considered Koma more potential than Koga. And Koma proved that his guess was right.

Maybe of the many people here, only the Professor knows the secret of the Koma attack. And the secret was obtained after slowing down the video recording of the recent Koma attack. Of course in his office.

Therefore, for a few seconds, Professor's hollogram had freeze without the knowledge of the Candidates who were busy paying attention to the Comma.

"Congratulations, you and your soulmate became the second couple to advance to Stage Three" said the Professor.

The Comma then walks from before the remaining pair of weak Candidates and leaves the place. He doesn't care about Songnam at all. Koga Lover.

Songnam seemed hesitant, but she finally approached Koga and Em, "Koga, I first. I'll wait for you" he said slowly.

Koga nodded his head and he ran towards the remaining couple.

The two of them looked fearfully at Koga and thoughtlessly ran straight towards the forest. But just before they got into the lush grove of trees, a shadow flashed behind them.

The male Candidate's head suddenly exploded with a mixture of white and red liquid scattering everywhere and clinging to all directions.

Koga is seen standing behind him in a still-hitting pose. At the tip of his fist even looks a little bit of blond hair left from the poor boy.

"Please forgive me. We did nothing wrong, "the woman who was left could only sit on the ground and cry.

"I'm sorry. One for one. Soulmate to soulmate," said Koga softly.

The next second, splashes of red and white again splashed onto the trees around them.

First Day of Elimination Test.

3 pairs escaped, 3 pairs eliminated.
