Chapter 14: Sampo Koski (Rewritten)
At Sunny’s question, the captured man just smiled as if he didn’t have a dagger next to his throat.
"...Whatever do you mean, my friend?"
Sunny pushed the suspicious man off, no longer wanting to threaten him. March and Dan Heng hurried over to his sides. The former seemed to have some major complaints with how the situation was handled.
"Are you nuts?! You can’t just... go around holding people at knife point!"
Not keeping his eyes off the man, Sunny answered both of their questions with a confused tone towards the first one.
"First of all, I’m not a nut. I would have thought that I resemble a human more. Secondly, your Memory dampens your presence by a single Rank, so it’s obvious that you would be a Master."
Dan Heng looked towards the supposed Master, scanning him from head to toe. Yet, the sleazy man didn’t seem to be one. However, if Sunny was right, then the man was wearing a Memory that would make a Master seem like an Awakened.
The man casually brushed off the snow from his body. Looking towards the trio of Trailblazers, he sighed.
"My fine fellow, was that really necessary? Is crawling around in the snow a crime these days? I mean, c’mon, surely it doesn’t warrant a dagger to the neck?"
Rubbing the back of his head, Sunny replied slowly after thinking for a second.
"Well, it was necessary. It’s not a crime, but it’s a pretty easy way to get yourself killed. And yes, it did warrant a dagger to the neck."
