Chapter 99 - Pressure of Pride

"I'll take them on," I said, not even budging a bit.

At this point, I was fairly confident in my abilities. All of these people wouldn't have posed me a threat either way, but I knew I just had to prove it to myself. Defeating a handful of miscellaneous soldiers wasn't really a problem. Getting into a fight like this was the real problem. Normally, I'd run away, or have someone else do it. I only get into these situations, only if I have a good reason. Now, I didn't have that. I didn't need that.

I stood in front of them, and they trained their weapons at me. I wasn't going to run, I wasn't going to fight. I just opened my mouth, took a deep breath, and while exhaling, I came up with my resolution. It was no longer any use to ignore this ability, or only use it, if I really needed it to. No, at this point I just decided to give up on having a problem with my cheat [Power]. I had to embrace it, and move onto bigger and greater things in life.
