Chapter 269: Them [2]

[The events that are taking place here, are five months after Ren's death. (Current timeline, is eight)]

—Clang! —Clang!

The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out repeatedly. 

"Haaa..haaa..." 

Standing opposite to each other, two youth's glared at each other. One held a long broadsword, whilst the other held a dagger in each hand.

They were Kevin and Jin respectively. 

Both of their breathing was rough, and droplets of sweat trickled down the side of their faces. 

Lowering his body, Jin's body slowly melted into the shadows. Squinting, and staring at Jin who had just melted into the shadows, Kevin closed his eyes and evened his breathing. 

For the next few seconds, apart from the uneven sound of his sweat dropping on the ground, no other sound could be heard. 

Kevin suddenly opened his eyes. 

Turning around, he swung the broadsword. 

—Clank!
