บท 273: Yakob Returned

'Yakob?' 

Ban thought upon 'seeing' the figure with his Echo Hearing Skill. 

Ban looked up towards Rila and it seems that she noticed that it wasn't an animal or a Beast but rather, a person. 

"I think it's Yakob," Ban said in advance to prevent Rila from attacking, and from getting too tense. 

Rila nodded her head but she still didn't let down her guard. 

A moment later, Yakob truly appeared from the bushes. 

He looked ragged and tired, as if he didn't sleep for an entire week. 

Behind him were four other people along with their Summons. Three of them are male while the remaining one is female. Judging from their faces and age, Ban made a guess that all of them must be E-Elite Rank Summoners or at least, not far from being one.

He noticed them behind Yakob earlier, that's also the reason why he didn't tell Rila to let her guard down, as he himself was also on guard at this moment.
