Chapter 835: Walking Into It



Just like that, as quickly as Himmy had come to visit the academy, he had left. There was part of Raze that wanted to stop him, tell him that there was no need for him to go, but Himmy was an adult capable of making his own decisions. It was clear he had already made up his mind.

Everything that Himmy could have done and told Raze, the information was already in his hands.

"I guess that's that issue solved, but what about the town of Flendon? What are we going to do?" Liam asked.

It was then that Anna stood up from her seat and decided to rush out of the room, heading toward the door.

"For now, everyone just stay on standby, but get ready and prepare for a fight if there needs to be one. We'll use Cronker to deliver messages," Raze ordered, and the rest nodded as they went off to do their own thing again.

For Raze, he waited for everyone to leave the room and then looked at Rayna, who was the only person still inside.

She had been biting her thumbnail and pacing back and forth.

Eventually, Raze walked up to her, and she seemed to not even notice he was there as she continued to walk back and forth.

Until Raze took a deep breath and made the decision to reach out and grab her hand, stopping her in the process.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Raze, you're still here?" Rayna said.

"I am indeed still here, and so are you," Raze replied. "You seem to have a lot on your mind. I can only guess it's the attack on Flendon."

"I feel bad," Rayna said. "All of those people getting involved because of me. Most of them that helped out weren't even Pagna warriors."

"Some might think I'm worried about what my father will think, but it's not that. Those people, they were nice to us, Raze. Even when they found out we were taking them over, they didn't treat us any differently, and many of them didn't even know who I was."

Although Rayna was well-known in the world of Pagna warriors, regular citizens wouldn't know what she looked like, and despite it all, they had been very welcoming.

Raze had to admit that as well, which was something he wasn't used to either.

"The worst thing about it is I can't do anything on my own. I can't fight the Behemoth Clan. Even when we went up against one of their pillars, I barely managed to survive, but going up against Sha Mo himself? I have to admit, I'm scared. Do you not get scared, Raze?"

Raze thought about his own mix of emotions, and he had an answer for Rayna.

"Of course I get scared. I'm worried each time I fight, each time there's a chance that those fighting by my side could be lost."

"I let all of these emotions in every second, each day, and that's how I'm able to fight. Rayna, you've helped me out a lot, and I'll help protect Flendon with everything I have."

"In return, can you get me a meeting with your father after this?" Raze asked.

Raze was sure of it, that the answer to where the Golden Globe was, what happened to the Dark Faction leader, was at the Neverfall Clan base, and maybe Belil knew something.

"If we successfully defend Flendon, and even defeat Sha Mo, then I'm sure of it. Our father will be the one that wants to meet us."

Himmy was walking at a relatively quick pace and was already out of the academy's main walls and into the outer area. He had a big grin on his face as he continued to walk.

'Those guys might actually give Alter a run for their money,' Himmy thought. 'The wound I received, I thought I was a goner for sure. I felt three bullets hit and tear my insides. Any longer, and I would have died.'

'But that girl, I don't think I've seen healing abilities quite like that before. Even among the mages, she was able to save my life that Alter took.'

'None of them realize it, but I'm already in debt to them for saving my life. So if I can at least do something to give the middle finger to Alter, I may as well.'

Himmy could see the bridge that marked the official exit from the academy area up ahead, when of all people, Anna appeared directly in front of him.

"What do you think you're doing, doing something so stupid like that!" Anna said, pointing at his chest.

"What do you mean, something stupid?" Himmy replied. "You know I was telling the truth. With this, they'll come after me, and it will buy all of you some time."

Anna was digging her finger deep into Himmy's chest, and it was hurting him a bit.

"You know what's going to happen. You know," Anna said, her eyes starting to water.

"I'm a squad leader, and I have been for a long time, looking after all of you. I got us out of trouble a number of times, and look at me I'm right here in front of you, and I'll be right here in front of you again."

With those words, Himmy grabbed Anna's hand and placed it down by her side. He continued to walk past while Anna stood there in place, her head down.

A few hours later, Himmy was in another town in the Dark Faction. It was a town situated in part of a mountain with a river flowing down the end.

He had rented a room with a balcony that allowed for a nice view of the river and the rest of

the landscape.

He looked out, then let out a big sigh.

"They sent you, Scar?" Himmy said.

"They did," a voice said from behind. "I knew this was a trick, and if anyone was behind it, it would be you. Maybe you should have stuck with your squad-not that it would make a difference anyway."

"Did you think because we're both from the same world, I might let you off or something?"

Scar said.

"Nah, the moment you became a Deleter, I knew you were a lost cause. Anyway, I would be careful, Scar... this is going to be your hardest job yet."

"Thanks for the warning, but I won't need it."
