Hase

'This is an assassination attempt against the youngest son of the Noble Terio. Yeah, that's a long story short. I only have so much time to think. Is it not a game over if I gloss over the entire situation?'

He spotted three black-robed people who were slowly but steadily making his way towards him and secretly observed them. 'I don't know if it's racist to tell that the three of them look more or less the same. Probably the author of this story didn't bother making them look different. Seriously, why am I thinking about useless things now? Hah… running isn't an option.'

Rewen took a deep breath and calmed his nerves. 'Now or nah… now or nah… now or nah… now or nah… now or…'

"NOW!!" Within a second, Rewen jumped off from the spot holding Ryu tightly and just as he was about to fall on the ground, he noticed a small dart flying off from the previous spot Ryu and him were in.

"What are you doing?" Ryu whined, depressed that his clothes got dirty.
