From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Chapter 624 Slotted Sparring Match

"Shit," Ty muttered, watching Yun-Jin and Rosana waiting at the exit. Both had their arms crossed, their gazes fixed on him. He sighed, reluctantly getting to his feet. Whatever was coming, it wasn't going to be easy—not with these two ready to face off, and definitely not with Waddle knowing more than he should.@@@@

He forced a smile and strode toward them, his black cuffs feeling heavier than ever. Whatever was going on, he would deal with it head-on—for now, at least.

As Ty followed both Yun-Jin and Rosana out, he couldn't help but notice the increased number of guards lining the corridors. The air seemed heavier with their presence, their rigid stances a reminder of the heightened security measures. The usual dim light flickered above, casting long shadows across the stony hallway as their boots echoed down the corridor. It wasn't long before two guards stepped in front of them, blocking their path.

"Hey, what is going on here?" one of them asked, his voice carrying a tone that was both cautious and curious. His hand rested loosely on the hilt of his sheathed weapon, eyes darting between Ty, Rosana, and Yun-Jin.

Yun-Jin offered a polite nod, her expression unwavering. "I'm transporting my sponsor for a training protocol, and this other individual as well, in the absence of her sponsor," she said smoothly, her voice clear but firm. "I will ensure that both are handled correctly, and once the session is completed, they will be returned to their cells as required."

The guard scrutinized her for a moment, then nodded. "Sounds good, but you'll still need an escort of two guards due to the current maximum security level." He glanced at his partner before turning his gaze back to her. "Also, we've received word that there is a broadcast planned for anywhere from fifteen minutes to four hours from now, so be ready to return at a moment's notice."

Yun-Jin perked up slightly at the mention of a broadcast, a flicker of curiosity passing through her eyes. She inclined her head politely. "Thank you, understood." The guards stepped aside, and she led the way forward, with Ty and Rosana following, and now with two additional escorts trailing behind them.

Yun-Jin gave a confident smile, her eyes challenging. "You can pick whatever you want, I'll kick your ass regardless," she stated, her voice carrying a sense of unwavering determination.

Rosana arched an eyebrow, clearly amused. "Oh yeah, is that so?" She gestured toward the different terrains available. "Well then, let's walk over to the simulated Forest zone. It's honestly not a bad size!" She paused, then added, "Any limits?"

Yun-Jin shrugged, her expression unchanged. "Yes; once you've received three hits, the sparring session ends, and the guards take you back to your cell to wait for stage two." Unlocking her cuffs, Yun-Jin added, "And what happens when I win?"

Rosana smirked, her fox-like ears twitching slightly. "Well, when the impossible doesn't happen, then I'll give you a secret."

"A secret?" Yun-Jin tilted her head, considering. "Sounds a bit boring, but I'll take it, I suppose."

Ty, watching the interaction, gave a small chuckle. "I guess I'll just sit back and watch. Guards, wanna watch with me?"

The guards accompanying them exchanged a glance, then shrugged. One of them unlocked Ty's cuffs. "Sure," one guard said, grabbing a couple of chairs as they all headed toward the forest simulation area.
