Laura's group is thinking of moving as they have to kill the rat king, or he will kill more people, which Laura says, even for a strong gang leader like her, it's becoming too much to handle.
Jill agrees with Laura, saying that if he plans to kill all the remaining residents, it would be better to go to him instead.
"That's a good idea, but we need more people as the rat king has a group of trained awakened with him."
"I think our current number of soldiers is more than enough," Clad says, confident of their success.
"But, who is an awakened here?" he asked.
"I am"
"What can you do?" the swordman added.
"I can use magic and shoot magic bullets with my gun," Laura replied
"And Swan has the special ability to see mana due to his eyes," She adds
?
"But can't we all do that?" Clad said, as he was confused by Laura's information.
"Yeah, everyone can, but my eyes allow me to see more than just the energy itself. I can tell the element and how complex their mastery over mana is, helping me judge if they are strong mages or not," Swan said as he showed to the group is eyes.
Clad saw that his eyes' irises were similar to a blue gem, with the pupil being a white triangle instead of their more humane appearance.
!
"Whoa," Clad accidentally slipped out.
"Damn, that's pretty cool," Adonis added.
"But Lylia isn't an Awakened?"
"No, why would she be?" Clad asked.
"I don't know, I thought she would be one based on how good she is at fighting and stuff," he replied as he remembered the time Lylia easily carried him in the cave.
"...I don't blame you,"
"But Laura, I have a question,"
"What is it?"
"Who's Pierrot?" Adonis said as he looked at the gray-haired, wolf-eared man.
"Pierrot is our healer; he is pretty capable when it comes to combat, as he was part of the military before becoming a priest, and the kingdom was overthrown by the rat king and his soldiers."
"Hello!" Pierrot said with a kind smile on his face.
"H-hey.." Adonis awkwardly replied as he found his overall positive attitude was out of place in the current situation. Laura interrupts his thought as she's about to tell them something.
Ahem!
"But anyway, we are going to start creating a plan and teams so that we can move to the south side of the kingdom, as that's where the rat king resides."
"Alright," Clad replied.
