733 TRAPPED (1/2)

”What?” ,Ben asked as he started to fear the fog, ”What should we do now?”

”You tell me. If you were in my place, then what would you have done?” ,Arjun smiled and asked.

”I...” ,Ben didn't know what he should reply. He was struck.

”Don't worry too much.” ,Rick patted on Ben's shoulder and said, ”We are not asking for you to execute anything. We are just asking for your opinion.”

Ben gulped down some saliva and built up some courage and said, ”I...I would have tried to find the root of the problem. The. I would have tried to solve it.”

”How exactly were you going to find the root of the problem?” ,Alwyn asked.

”I...I don't know.” ,Ben replied, ”Maybe... I would have tried to use all my knowledge in the Formation and I would have tried to find the core of the formation. Then I would have tried to destroy the core and set myself free.”

”How come you are so sure that this is the result of the formation?” ,Rick asked.

”This fog is not a natural one. I could use my Dragon Sense and tell from it's sense that this is the smell of the Formation.” ,Ben replied not sure whether he spoke something wrong. He said, ”In my opinion... it is obvious that this is the result of the Formation. And I would have destroyed it and solved the problem.”

”Hmm. Your words makes sense.” ,Arjun thought for a moment and said with a smile on his face, ”In fact, you are right. You said everything that was going through my mind.”

Ben was happy. He felt that he is finally started to get into their group. He felt that he now started to sync with Arjun and others. He always envied how freely Rick and others could speak to Arjun despite their ordinary combat abilities. But for some reasons, Ben would feel nervous whenever he wanted to share his thoughts with freedom.

But today he expressed all his views. He felt as if he had finally started to sync with the family. Even though he said everything only when Arjun asked, he still built up enough courage and said whatever was going through in his mind. This was not a bad start for Ben.

”Then how about it?” ,Arjun said, ”The. It's settled. I want you to go and execute the plan you gave us.”
