Chapter 12
Looking at the place where that collapsing sound was heard, we saw how Migo was sitting on the ground while a girl around his age pick up a big sword, or should I say claymore, that sinked in the corner part of the wall.
“Who was that?”
I asked looking at Saypher but what welcomes me was an empty air with no hint of Saypher being there.
What the….
Another loud thud was heard and there I saw Saypher getting in the place where the two kids was. I am amazed by the fact that this place was now clearly dry and there was no hint of it being in 'that' state yesterday.
Closing my eyes, I was slapped by the realization of how Saypher was that strong. I know that he is strong and he is someone who would become stronger as time passes by, but… the fact that he was this strong even if he haven't even reach the pinnacle nor half of his level, it was worrisome how there are much more enemies that is stronger than him
“Alright… it seems like before I can even jog around this building, I would first lose my stamina in getting down this building. ”
It is not as if I can jump down just like what Saypher did. Well, maybe I can but that doesn't change the fact that the moment I hit the bottom of this building, I would be in limbs.
Smiling about that thoughts, maybe instead of talking to myself, I should get going.

“What was the commotion here?”
I asked as soon as I reach them. But before I can even recieve an answer, seeing how that girl was being held up by Saypher, she looks so irritated.
Well, even I would feel bad if I am hold in my collar like a cat with my feet floating on the ground.
“Put. me. down.”
“No”
She hisses in annoyance as Saypher didn't let go of her even if she insisted.
“So… what is really happening here?”
It was Migo who answered me
“I was practicing my bow and arrows but accidentally hit her bag broken”
“You intentionally did that! Do you know that it was the last drink I have and of all things, it was the one you shot?!“
”Calm down, that was just a drink“
”It wasn't just a drink! It was the tumbler gifted by my father… and now it is broken… it was all his fault!“
”I- i… but I didn't mean to“
So that is the thing that happened huh. I have no idea of what I should do.
”Can I see that tumbler?“
”What are you going to do?“
”I will check if I can still repair it“
She was hesitanting if she would give it to me or not.
”I will do what I can to fix that. As an apology for what he did“
”But I didn't intentionally hit that—“
”No matter what the reason may be, what is done is done. It doesn't matter whether it was intentional or not. What matters the most is the outcome of what is done“
They was left silent with my words. Am I too harsh with them? It is just that… for some reason… I can see myself in her side…
'That was an accident alright? It wasn't my fault if that bracelet was on the floor and it looks like a trash'
'What are you glaring at? Do you want me to punch you?'
'You are my friend and I am sure that you are well aware of the fact that I treasure that bracelet with my whole life. It was given to me by my grandmother and that is the only thing I had with—'
'Just shut up, will you? It is gone already. Even if you lecture me about that, it wouldn't bring back what is lost'
'That is right. If you really want to find it, why not check for the trashes in the trashcan? But who knows, maybe those trashes are already in the back pit'
It was then I remember how things… started to change….
Putting down the ruined tumbler, it was made up of steel. The one who can maintain the temperature of what is placed inside for a long period of time. And just like what they said, this tumbler was shot with an arrow hole on it.
Hmm… so what can I do to fix this?
Getting the backpack from the storage space, I am certain that it have various of things on it. After all, what I put inside was all the things that I find useful.
”If I remember correctly… I also pick up a mini set of tools there. In the bundle kit area…“
With a slight frown on my head, I can't find that gray thing that have a garter on it. I know that there are few things I can use to repair this thing…
”Ah, here it is“
.
.
.
”Sorry“
Even with Migo apologizing, the girl didn't respond. She was mad. She is annoyed.
”What are you doing all alone in this place kid?“
It was Migo who asked that question. He was curious on how she managed to survive despite of the circumstances that happened on the previous night. For a kid with her age to wander around like this, even her big claymore was also something that he can't understand.
”I am Kheina Archerr. The daughter of a sergent lieutenant… for some reason, my father was nowhere to be found. The last time I saw him was when he leave me inside a locker on a rooftop in that area“
Pointing out a big building that seems to be a little taller compared to this building they are at, she continued her words.
”My father told me to not get outside unless everything sounds good. The moment I hear the bird chirping, I can say that the heavy storm is already gone“
”And where did you get this claymore? It looks bigger than you, how come you manage to hold this?“
She was hesitanting whether she would answer his question but she answered Saypher anyway.
”There was a popping image in front of me and the only thing I know after I did what it was saying was this thing appearing in front of me. It was also odd if I may say…“
”And why is that?“
Holding the claymore up with just her bare hands, it looks so light that she can swing it as easy as that
”It feels light whenever I hold it but… as soon as I let it touch things…“
Making it fall on the ground, there are fog created by the ashes of the ground.
”This would happen“
There, as soo as the fog dissipates… one can see that there are cracks forming around the place of where her weapon landed.
