As the break finished the groups made there way back over to Levi and Hanji. Lizzie and Angela made their way to the front and smiled back at their team. Eren, Jean and Troy give them the thumbs up for encouragement. Both girls grin and turn to see what the next course is like. Levi waits for everyone to settle down before he speaks.
'The next course will test your cognitive ability – mental ability for those who are too shit brained to understand.'
'Well even nice Levi still has a mouth without a filter' Whispered Jean to Eren while Eren tried to pay attention.
'Shut it horse face'
Jean sniggered and Levi turned over to them.
'Is something funny about what I said Kirstein '
Jean bows his hide to hide his grin and shakes his head. Levi narrows his eyes and then turns back to finish explaining the course.
'The game will consist of riddles, each team will be paired against one another and the first team to win both riddles will move onto the next. Once all teams have played each other the two with the highest scores will then play against each other. The winners will receive 10 points like in the first round any questions, no lets go.'
Hanji cackles as she walks back to her team, Eren mumbles how there wasn't enough chance to ask questions if there were any, Jean laughs as he catches up with Eren and Lizzie and Angela pale as they walk over to the other contestants.
'Are you any good at riddles?' Lizzie asked Angela
Angela shakes her head and both girls sighed as they sat down next to the other contestants. The red team had two girls called Zilla and Noelani, the blue team had a boy called Marcus and a girl called Lilly represent them and the yellow team had two boys called Tony and Kaage. Lizzie and Angela share a look and cringe. These people were smart, very smart.
Hanji bounded over to the team and presented them with a hat.
'Each team will pull out a team color and that's who you will be up against first,' Shakes hat, 'Who wants to go first?'
Lizzie was about to step forward when Kaage pushes pass her and sticks his hand in the hat and pulls out the slip of paper. Lizzie scowls at Kaage while Angela holds back a chuckle. Tony smiles apoligectly while Kaage tuts and goes to open his slip. Hanji seeing this smacks his hand.
'Not until everyone has theirs buddy'
Kaage recoils his hand and glares at Tony for sniggering at him. Once the rest of the teams picked out their slips, Hanji motioned for them to open. Lizzie groans at seeing who they are paired against. The red team. Those girls are smart.
Hanji smiles and splits the group up.
'Ok red and green team you first, whoever answers this riddle first and the answer is right you will gain 3 points. Ok here we go, What can one not keep, two hold, and three destroy?'
Lizzie looked at Angela and Angela shrugged her shoulders. Zilla put up her hand and Hanji grinned.
'Zilla do you have the answer?'
Zilla nodded and replied, 'Secret'
'Correct! 3 points to the red team'
Angela and Lizzie tried not to let their tears of despair fall. We are doomed!
'Ok riddle 2, No matter how much rain comes down on it, it won't get any wetter?'
Angela racked her brain but could not come up with the answer, Lizzie put up her hand,
'Is it puddle?'
Hanji cackled, 'Close but not the right answer, Noelani?'
'Water' Noelani smiled at Lizzie and made her feel thicker than she already felt.
Of course it's water as it is already wet, Lizzie thought as she sighed, they lost. Hanji smiled and motioned for the next two teams to come forward.
'Red team won with 6 points and are therefore in the finals, Yellow and Blue team come forward.'
Lizzie and Angela sat on the grass and sighed. Looking over to their team, Eren gave them an encouraging smile which made both girls not feel too bad about their team losing again. Marcus, Lilly, Tony and Kaage waited for Hanji to say the next riddle.
'What loses it head in the morning and gets it back at night?
'PILLOW!' Both Kaage and Marcus shouted in union. Hanji grins and yells,
'CORRERCT 3 POINTS TO EACT TEAM! Ok next riddle, Shake me and I'll do what you want, but first you have to pull me from the ground. I'm on the tip of your tongue and over your shoulder.'
Both teams took time to puzzle the riddle out, Tony slightly drooling and thinking of food come up with the answer and said,
'Salt, the answer is salt.'
'Correct that leaves the Yellow team with 6 points, Zilla and Noelani step forward and prepare for the final two riddles, whoever gets these both right wins the game.'
Both teams glare at each other, feeling the tension Hanji chuckles,
'It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt. It lies behind stars, and under hills, and empty holes it fills. It comes out first and follows after. Ends life, kills laughter.'
'Is it death?' Troy says as he scratches his head, Kaage face-palms and both girls laugh.
Hanji smiles, 'No Troy it's not, red team you got the answer?'
Zilla nods, 'Time'
'Correct that gives the red team another 3 points, Yellow team if you can answer this riddle correctly then we go to sudden death.' Hanji says as she looks at the yellow team with a gleam in her eye.
Both boys gulp and nod their head.
'An eye in a blue face, saw an eye in a green face. 'That eye is like this eye' said the first eye, 'but in low place, not in high place.'
Both teams sit and think. Troy looks at Kaage and shrugs his shoulder. Kaage sighs and looks up to the sun. Like this eye but in low place not high. Kaage lets out a huff and looks down at the ground, and sees a daisy. The answer hits him like a slap in the face and yells,
'DAISIES, the answer is Sun on the daisies!'
'Correct that means we have a tie, time for sudden death!'
Hanji looks at both teams and grins and beckons them closer, both teams hesitate but come closer slowly.
'Sad, sick or sloppy I'll help you out, use me right and I'll cover your snout.'
'Tissue' Noelani said as soon as Hanji finished. Kaage and Troy groaned in defeat and Hanji cackled.
'Red team has 10 points making them joint first with the blue team and green and yellow joint in second place.'
Making their way back over to their teams, Levi makes his way over to Hanji and looks at the cadets.
'Well looks like some of you do have brains, as the for the one that lost...'
Lizzie and Angela both cringe and Hanji cackles. Levi sighs at Hanji and waves his hand to dissemble the cadets. Hanji seeing their confusion smiles,
'grab a bite to eat and be back here in 10 minutes.'
As soon as the words food was mention a dust trail was left by Sasha not long followed by Tony. Eren sighs and goes to make his way in when Levi grabs his wrist and pulls him away from the others.
'Not so fast cutie, you can help set up the next event.'
Eren blushes and pulls his wrist out of Levi's hand.
'Stop saying that'
Smirking Levi looks up at Eren and asks, 'Stop what Eren'
Eren sighs and moves past Levi, Levi gave a small chuckle and ran to catch up with him. Eren looks at Levi out the corner of his eye and smiles slowly. Levi looking straight ahead smirks,
'You know we could ditch making the event and go into the trees and have some thing.'
Eren stops as Levi keeps walking spluttering and stammering, Levi laughs and turns around and drags Eren over to the equipment to set up the next event.
An update :D Sorry for the wait but it takes me while to think of the game they can play. Hopefully the next chapter will not be too long. Aproximatly their will be another five chapters and this story will come to an end. As usual your reviews and watches make me smile and go on even when I am stumped on ideas, until next time xx
