Chapter 8: Partying Up
"Phew!"
He was a little exhausted. The level-up really helped but even that couldn't stop the jitters from the aftermath of an intense battle.
"Hey, you alright?" Kazi asked the young swordswoman. "Thanks for the assistance there. If it wasn't for you, I'd be in trouble."
Sun-young gave a curt nod.
"I'm Kazi, by the way. Kazi Hossain." He held out hand. "Pleased to meet you."
Kazi had seen a lot of things in life, but never had seen anyone this awkward in shaking a hand. Still, he tried to be non-judgmental.
"Mm." Sun-young barely met his eyes too. She wasn't shy, she was rather serious and baggy-eyed. It was like she struggled with eye contact.
'Oh, I see.' His smile softened. He met a lot of kids like her. There was nothing wrong with it.
"W-we did it?"
Oh, right. The person who attacked the Slime Jack from behind, it was William, the blond kid that had led the monster to him in the first place.
"Yeah, I think so!" Kazi sent a thumbs-up. "Good work, by the way! That last minute clutch attack from behind was great!"
