Chapter 5: Ch 5: If you don’t pay attention, you will die- Part 1
"Take a deep breath. Good! You're doing great, Selene! Don't think about that traitor—just keep walking. Empty your mind."
Selene forced herself forward, willing herself not to think about the person who had once driven her into depression when they were younger.
Her mind was clouded with useless worries, and she wasn't paying attention to where she was going. That was how she ended up walking straight into Noah's back, nearly toppling over.
Luckily, years of dungeon experience and countless missions had gifted her with a flexibility that would make a cat jealous. She managed to catch herself just in time.
When she opened her eyes, she noticed Noah's hand had been outstretched toward her, likely to grab her arm and steady her. But the moment he realized she would be fine, he quickly pulled his hand back.
"Tsk, watch where you're going! How much trouble are you planning to cause for us all?"
Noah's voice was loud enough to be heard across the camp.
Selene's face flushed with embarrassment, but she was far too used to his outbursts to react. She didn't even bother defending herself, which only made Noah scowl and look away.
The more she ignored him, the angrier he became.
And the angrier he got, the colder it became.
The air around them chilled rapidly, visible breaths forming in the sudden drop of temperature. People nearby shivered, their movements stiff as frost gathered in the air. It was all because of Noah's inability to control his temper.
