- The Xuan Family Manor (Side Entrance), 10 PM -
Four days have passed since our reconnaissance mission. We had also bought a katana for me, while twin daggers for Mei Gui, at a weapons store in the Coastal Metropolis. We chose the weapons we were most comfortable with for this assassination mission. My father was also a katana user, and he had taught me the basics years ago, before he passed away. My skills were nowhere near proficient with the weapon, but I would only be using this to take out the guards...I doubted cold steel would work against anyone I couldn't use a surprise attack on. As for Mei Gui...I don't know why, but she settled on twin daggers immediately.
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
So, I know this volume has been fairly casual and slow-paced so far, but with this chapter, the action finally begins. However, it is not as simple as just a battle purely of physical/magical strength. Traps, ploys, and strategies are all employed within this clash between Plague and Xuan Kai - but who will emerge the victor?
I mean, everyone reading this right now will all go 'the protagonist, obviously!' But I mean...you never know what could happen. I'm the author, I get to decide what happens. c; For all you know, I could make Xuan Kai lose and have him tortured, experimented with by Plague, then become a mindless killing machine. I haven't really decided yet.
I don't know about other authors, but with me, never assume what you might expect to happen. I'm a fairly unusual person, so I tend to make decisions the majority of people will never even think of doing, for better or worse. Oh, I could also make Xuan Kai fall in love with Plague or something...no wait, that's too disgusting for me to comprehend...I can't write yaoi, so I'm going to stop there.
Anyway, that's all from me for now!
And as always, I'll see you guys in the next chapter~
