424 Start! (2/2)

Time passed just like this, after a few hours, the first batch of people finally emerged from the tunnel.

Raven's senses swept through then and saw that Albert was none of them, so he relaxed. He no longer paid any attention to them and returned his attention back to the book he's reading. Minutes later, someone disturbed his serenity…

”Excuse me brother…”

Raven's lifted up and saw a rough looking man flaring his clean set of white teeth at him. He then raised a brow and the man spoke once more.

”Very sorry to disturb you, I just can't help it.” The man scratched the back of his head and continued: ”You see, I was caught extremely surprised by the sudden transportation. It left me unprepared, therefore I have nary a jug of water with me. I was wondering if you have some excess and are willing to share some with me.”

Raven briefly inspected this man. His ocular technique activating for a brief second before deciding. He then took out another gourd from his spatial ring and passed it to the guy. The man then laughed and happily received the gourd, he even intruded Raven's personal space and sat down in front on him while taking large gulps of liquid from the gourd.

The man then let out a surprised gasp after drinking…

”Good water! I wasn't expecting to taste the waters from a Pure Life Spring. And its even contained in a bottomless gourd! Nice. Thanks a lot brother!”

A smile suffused Raven's face as he replied: ”You're welcome.”

”Oh right!” He man exclaimed, scratching his head full of short black hair. ”I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jason Sigmus. Can you tell me yours brother?”

”Raven Valorheart.”

”Ah, so it's Brother Raven. Nice to meet you.” Jason laughed as he happily drank from the bottomless gourd once more.

*Bang!* *Crash!*

Sounds of things breaking and strong fluctuations of energy suddenly erupted from the hall. Startling everyone inside.

”The hell is your problem man!?”

”I don't like the way you look. That's my problem.”

”Are you fucking serious?”

”Yeah I am. Which also why you have to die. Pretty boys should just die.”

This weird interaction caused the people inside the hall to exchange glances and react in different ways. Some people watched with interest while the rest shook their heads and no longer paid attention to them, these people included Raven.

”Haha, what a dude.” Jason watched briefly before shaking his head and returning his attention to Raven. ”I don't what's their deal but they might be in a lot of pain if they continue.”

Raven looked at Jason with interest and said: ”Oh? How can you tell?”

Jason smirked and pointed at someone. ”See that guy over there?”

Raven followed where he pointing and saw a man who's quietly meditating on his spot. He then nodded his head towards Jason. The latter then said:

”If they continue clashing like that, then that guy will surely kill them.”

Hearing his words stunned Raven for a brief moment. An interested expression appeared on his face as he focused on the events that will happen next.
