Standing amidst the three dead djinn bodies and facing the unknown female figure, I was at a loss for words.
Perhaps sensing my confusion, the female figure strolled toward me, swinging the revolver in a vertical circle with a single finger.
Letting out an exhausted sigh, as if she had been forced to be here, the figure finally said.
"Upon arriving in the capital city, every student of Glaive is assigned a security guard to protect them...in cases like this."
Letting my curiosity get the best of me, I immediately replied, recalling my terrible luck.
"Kidnappings like this happen to Glaive students that often?"
Shaking her head, the figure gestured for me to follow her before responding.
"Nope. Most people take the mana train, but...a select group of students decide to make the trek through the city alone."
"And, seeing this, djinns and villains just can't pass up on the opportunity."
