Chapter 102: Before The Storm (2)
"We should see how I'd do with your blizzard, big bro," Joel said as he scrubbed the floor with a mop, sometimes imagining the tool as his spear.
Those daydreams brought back memories of Joel's battle against the Rebellious Hounds. Back then, he had worked alongside two ladies—Lily Left and Beatrix. He felt a closer skill-based bond with Beatrix, whereas Lily Left opened up to him more personally.
Some might say Joel was gradually turning into a real protagonist, except Beatrix would probably cut ties with him if Blake ever ordered her to. Still, Joel didn't mind. If Blake truly cut him off, Joel figured it would only be because of his own shortcomings or a major mistake on his part. For now, he genuinely enjoyed working with Beatrix; both of them had impressive abilities that complemented each other. Together, they created the perfect stage for Blake's Blizzard.
