Chapter 51: Players
Jada Schmidt.
It all happened so fast—the accusations, his claims, the explosion—and now the village was plunged into chaos.
Arthur. The quiet guy, always trailing behind the pack, lagging in training.
He was the one who was always mysterious and didn't know anything about anime. Yet there he was, defying the Hokage himself.
Arthur, the one who always seemed a step behind, was now the center of her world.
He was a walking contradiction—seemingly clumsy yet resourceful, quiet yet explosive. And strangely, that was kind of cool.
He never made her feel guilty about her own lack of stellar skills. He was the perfect audience for her endless rants about the world they were inexplicably trapped in.
Did she believe she was trapped like he was? No, not even for a second.
In fact, to her, Arthur seemed genuinely interesting. He was the only one out of the others who came into this world without any knowledge of the Naruto universe.
Jada herself had spent countless hours glued to the screen back in her world, reading all of the latest volumes that were released.
She winced, feeling the guilt settle in.
