That Dreading Feeling of Guilt

--

'Looks like not even the Space caster is strong enough to stop the forces of nature itself, huh? Or should I say... dimension caster~?'

Asuma turned around to meet his students' eyes, bracing his hands on his hips as he descended. He lifted his left hand slowly while the other stayed where it was. His index fingers pointed towards them and a grin plastered widely from ear to ear.

"Are you sure you're ready? This will be one of a fight once we find those villagers and get to the lake to reseal whatever it is sleeping below it." Asuma somewhat tilted his head to get a better view of his students, a bit covered by his pointing finger.

The teacher took his hand back, pointing back at the lake behind him with his thumb. His mossy-green eyes showed them the determination he never showed anyone before. His usual lax homeroom sessions and history lessons never made him look like this before.
