[Willow: Team meeting!]
Ezrik stared at the message on his phone with a small smile as he walked out of the professor's office, Atlas and Reed trailing behind him.
Her message was the only thing that managed to lift his mood after being chosen to participate in what everyone was calling a "competition" but what he knew was really a bloodbath in disguise.
He quickly typed a reply.
[Evren: I can come over.]
[Willow: Are you sure?]
[Evren: I'll be there soon.]
"Fuck off. It's not my fault your sister didn't make the list," Reed hissed suddenly, shoving Atlas in the chest. "Don't take your aggression out on me."
Atlas barely stumbled before retaliating. He swept his leg out hard, catching Reed off balance. Reed hit the ground with a heavy thud, a groan escaping as his head smacked the floor.
Atlas burst out laughing. "I wish your skull cracked open," he sneered, watching Reed glare up at him.
"Get lost!" Reed snapped, clutching his head.
