Lao Junjuri Jungle 1:00 PM Before Lao could get up , he was quickly pinned back down to the ground by the red headed Water Wielder that he had noticed before. He had to admit, her skills were admirable, but in this situation, her ability was more than infuriating. Lao did see that her comment on how they should work together did make perfect sense, and in all truth, it did not put that much of a dent in his iron wall of pride. Lao was about to agree and maybe apologize when the dark Wielder threatened him with a contract, if he didn't, he would have to forfeit the race, or die, he only had a minute to think about it. Sweat beaded down his forehead in anticipation and anger, the Dark Wielder sounded like the tax collectors in Surcoth. Lao instantly hated the Dark Wielder, the contract the guy created left Lao pretty much defenseless unless and attack would hurt him bad, that did not mean they could hurt him. It also did not help that another girl had appeared, that was apparently a Lightning Wielder who thought it would a good idea to tie him up, that did not look fun at all. Suddenly, the ground under Lao burst into flames, engulfing him, he felt nothing but a little heat. He glanced at the little girl on the other side of the stream, it was obviously her. Lao smiled as the Water Wielder jumped away, freeing Lao, he immediately jumped up and backed away, his back to the jungle. "I agree with you all." He said with a smile, this was the first time he had talked to anyone all day. " I have no problem working with you all, I apologize for blatantly attacking you all." Although he seemed not to be sorry. "I won't accept your contract, but I will make a deal. I won't attack, everyone in this little area here." He sweeping the area they were in with his arms. " You will not attack each other, or me, is it a deal?" He said with a sly smile, although he was completely honest. He also remembered that he would have to thank the little girl for turning the situation around.
