--- Chapter 28 ---

Luna: That's darren?

Ame: mhm.

Red: YO darren, lets go! One vs one. You said you would when you came back.

Darren: I did?

He says scratching his head.

Red: Don't tell me you forgot! You told me when you left 2 years ago that when you got back we would fight! I've been training for this!

Darren cracks a smile.

Darren: Well then, you seem all fired up. I don't think I did, but even so, I never turn down a challenge, kiddo.

Red creates his sword, and starts to run in, Darren remains standing there as if he isn't scared, in fact he's still smiling. Red leaps to slash down, but the instant he jumps, Darren appears behind him and chops his neck, and Red flops to the floor unconscious.

Luna: So fast! Even with that heavy armor! I didn't even see him move.

The crowd roars, before coming in and wheeling Red away.

Luna: With that kinda armor, he probably never gets hit.

Ame: True, but the armor isn't the reason he doesn't get hit.

Luna looks at her confused.

Ame: You saw his speed, none of us could ever land a hit.

Luna: Then what's the point of the armor? If it's not protecting him then why have it at all?

Ame: That armor isn't protecting him, it's protecting us.

Luna: What? How does that work?

Ame: His strength is unlike anything you and I have ever seen. Without the armor, there's a chance him moving would create a shock wave big enough to kill.

Luna: He's that strong huh?

Ame: Yup.

Little footsteps are heard as Tilda comes out of nowhere and runs up to darren, jumping to a big hug. Darren is caught off guard but then hugs back.

Luna: What's up with them?

Ame: Darrens Tildas teacher, and kinda a father figure.

Luna: Wait really?!

Ame: Mhm. That probably why she's so talented for her age.

Luna: Yah.

While this is taking place, Sole tells the master what happened.

Master: So, you say a masked man who has teleportation capabilities?

Sole: Yes, he also seemed to have a magic item. It was a flying spike he could control.

Master: Ok. I must consult with Darren, and we will figure out a plan. You may go.
