Chapter 10: Fighting Yet Still Killing Stealthily... Decay Heart!
Before Jin could react, she stepped forward, and the synth in her hand moved.
In the blink of an eye, she was already in front of him, her synth aiming for his head with blinding speed.
Fortunately, Jin seemed to have expected this. With a sharp twist of his body, he ducked beneath the fierce strike.
His feet landed light on the ground as he leaped backward in quick succession, only stopping after widening the gap between them by several meters.
He readjusted his glasses, then turned to face her with a casual, relaxed smile. His gaze, obscured by his white hair that fell over his line of sight, was cold and somewhat teasing.
"So you finally decided to come. I was waiting for when you would decide to fight," Jin said, smiling. He had noticed the lady previously from within the crowd. After all, he had studied everyone perfectly before making his move.
As an assassin, this was one of the first things he was trained in.
The tall, cold lady didn’t reply. Instead, she stared at him silently, then moved.
Her synth sliced through the air in a curving arc, fast and precise like a dancer’s blade tracing death in midair.
The other trialists in the surroundings slowly gathered around the two of them under the leadership of the thug from before.
"Quickly surround them so he won’t be able to leave."
Everyone also understood the thug’s implication and agreed with the decision without delay, quickly surrounding Jin and the lady.
