Another Training

That feeling came like a sting in Erend's chest. It was as if something had exploded in his chest as if to stop his heartbeat.

Previously, the hunch was not felt this big. But this time it was very different. It's stronger than before.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Billy asked with worried and droopy eyes at Erend.

Even though he was drunk, Billy still noticed the trouble on Erend's face.

Alice also immediately noticed because she saw Erend stop suddenly.

"Oh," Erend said. "Nothing."

He downed his ale.

"Give me one more bottle," Erend said.

Alice immediately went to get another bottle of ale for Erend. She put the ale in front of him.

Billy and Alice stared at Erend in silence.

A moment later, unable to contain her curiosity, Alice asked. "What actually happened to you earlier? You look... Shocked by something."

"I'm fine. Don't worry," Erend said with a faint smile. He opened his ale bottle and drank it.
