Chapter 99: Trust

While heading to Achara's dojo after finishing his scouting for the day, Xavier gave Zack a call and told him to meet him at the dojo directly without any small talk, which surprised Zack.

Xavier was almost always relaxed and playful unless he had something serious to say or was about to fight, but now he wasn't and seemed to have something on his mind.

Whatever it was, it was unlikely to be good, and Zack was worried that something might have happened, but he was planning on heading to the dojo anyway, so rushed over as quickly as he could.

However, what he found when he arrived at the dojo surprised him.

Sat on the ground with his hand out, Xavier was trying not to make any facial expressions as Achara stitched up his hand for him.

Around them were the rest, who were laughing and placing bets on whether they thought Xavier could get his hand stitched up without making a face or noise.

"Stop moving, you idiot," Achara scolded.
