Ch.08: 2F - Evankhell's Hell (4)

Chapter 8: Rak rampages after Koon and Baam, who have hidden behind a nearby rock, demanding that they fight him. Koon looks over to his Pocket's timer to see the time limit of the test is nearly up. An announcement rings out overhead --over the scenes of the reptilian girl and swordsman fighting and Koon and Baam smiling -- and signifies the end of the test, as well as warning the remaining Regulars that if they continue fighting they will be disqualified. This causes the girl and swordsman to immediately sheathe their weapons, much to their onlooker's relief.

The announcer goes on to congratulate the survivors and tell them the next test will be starting immediately. The rules are given: make two of the remaining participants "buddies" to form a team of three within five minutes. This appalls Koon and Baam as they realise they have to team up with Rak; and the man in the jumpsuit in the prospect of joining the two combatants he was watching. The Regulars are told they must be in physical contact with their teammates at the end of the five minutes. Koon analyses this situation as, "Make a friend out of your enemy."

In his reverie, the man in the jumpsuit reveals his name: Ship Leesoo. Ship plucks up the courage to ask the two fighters into a group, only to find the two have already made up, introducing themselves as Hatsu and Anak, and are completely oblivious of Ship's presence.

Koon approaches Rak with the proposal of teaming up. He simply laughs at them, labeling them as mere prey to him. Koon retorts with the threat of killing him instead within the next minute. Then the two are about to clash, Baam interrupts, asking Rak what the "hunt" he speaks of is. Rak explains, spurring Baam on to confront him with the ultimatum of allowing Rak to hunt him, but with his weapon cast aside. This infuriates and confounds Rak, making him more vulnerable to Koon's persuasion. However, Rak strikes out with his spear, releasing a flurry of attacks on Koon who blocks with his bag. Baam and Koon are left to resort with grabbing Rak at the last minute when the time limit is fulfilled. The spear lances towards Baam's eye, but is deflected by Koon's knife just before contact. The two then rush at the large Rak and grip onto his arm and neck, granting them access to the next test.
