Chapitre 60: Request of Crystal

While Zen was fighting a bunch of beasts, he caught a glimpse of the three.

He cautiously retreated and positioned himself beside the Professor. "Professor Hawkin, right?" he questioned.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Mind taking over for a moment?"

Hawkin was watching from the sidelines, alert for any potential surprise attacks from other beasts, so he was a little perplexed by his request as Zen's battle was going along smoothly.

"Look over there," he said as Zen pointed in a certain direction. "Coincidentally, my friends are here too. I'm going to see how they are doing."

Hawkin directed his gaze towards the indicated direction, and, indeed, he saw three individuals who appeared to be of the same age as Zen.

Upon witnessing this, he consented to temporarily assume Zen's responsibilities of holding off the group of beasts, thereby enabling Zen to engage in a conversation with his alleged 'friends'.
