#37 Capability
Ulrich grinned at Yumi, and she gave him a swift nod in return. Jeremy's bored voice sounded over the land as he counted down. Both Ulrich and Yumi shifted into starting position, ready to jump into action at a moment's notice.
Seven, Six, Five, four, three, go!
Startled by Jeremy's seemingly lack of memory towards the natural order of backwards numbers and counting down, Ulrich and Yumi were both caught off guard. But it only lasted a split second as the two burst from their starting positions, slashing monsters with all their might.
Ever since Yumi had beaten Ulrich, he had been dying for a rematch. And this was the first day that the alert didn't seem as threatening as usual, and Jeremy…well Jeremy was getting sick of Ulrich's constant asking of when they could try and see who could kill the most monsters.
Back on Earth, Jeremy couldn't help but look at the screen, a bewildered expression on his face. How, when the world was truly in danger, it took Ulrich and Yumi longer to get rid of each monster than it did when they were competing, he would never understand.
Maybe, just maybe some lying would be in order in the near future. Maybe…
Who was he kidding? He'd totally be lying from here on out.
