”Sometimes, the strong and the weak can switch places just like that. But, staying in a strong camp, that is the hardest thing to do.”

”We said, move!” Without any hesitation, all of them came to me all at ones. They are quick as fit for an assassin, but, not fast enough.

”You guys never learn... I can feel you also disliked school huh. I guess that's what we all have in common... but, I can see you all have no intention of making me your friend.”

”Not until you free our great hero from your unseen trick!” An aggressive lancer replied.

Then with all of their might, they hacked their weapon from where I stood, breaking the ground and causing it to sink half a meter. Such strength...Good thing I was able to dodge it and as to how I did it is not that intricate.

Before they could even hit a strand of my hair, I already threw my pen towards a random direction, and there, just like Minato Namikaze and his special kunai, I teleported without buffers and any delays.

”Hey, where are you all hitting at?” I tapped an assassin in his shoulder asking that very apparent question...

Seeing their failed reckless incursion, another then followed up an attack but as easy as it is, I'm able to teleport myself back to the bound greatsword hero who now, is experiencing major difficulty in breathing as the bind gets stronger by each passing second.

The assassins were ready to again attack me, but all of that moving around is very irksome. So how about a little sanction.

”Behave, if you want this man alive.” I declared while pointing two or three sharp ink-made weapons in the bounded pile of muscles. One for his head, one for his heart, and another...as you guessed it... for his balls.

”Sh*t...okay okay. Just please don't kill our kingdom's hero... without him, our kingdom is bound to suffer even more!” They then stopped in the hasty. consecutive and violent attacks while putting their weapons on the ground.

But, why would I even care about their kingdom though?...

”Hey, monsieur priest... Please do follow the lead and put your scepter down, now.”

”Hmmm... Such ingenuity. How did you know that we have those amulets?” Taking heed of my instructions, he let go of his active weapon on the ground without any questions and neither a grieving face of seeing their leader grovel.

”Hunch,” I exclaimed.

”Pure hunch huh...” he replied, still with confidence.

What's with the undaunted look anyway? Well, I think I know the reason, judging from how he is treated by this man.

There currently are two plausible reasons for that confident face: Reason number 1) He is confident of the hero's ability, or here we have Reason number 2) He hates this guy with every bit of his life and seeing him get killed upfront might actually be a fulfilling reward. I choose to believe the second option, although I can't offer lenience on the first one.

But more importantly, how quickly the tables have turned... UNO Reverse Card?
