Looking at the fallen female student president, Jason was completely startled.
When he sensed malice, Jason was certain that the gunman's intent was aimed at the female baker, and even more certain that the gunman's barrel was pointed at her too.
Simply put, when the bullet was fired, it was aimed at the female baker, but then... it took a turn mid-flight!
The wayward bullet struck the female student president directly.
The female student president was completely an unintentional victim.
However, Jason could clearly see that a nearly transparent force field appeared on the female student president, blocking the bullet.
The force field flashed and vanished.
The flattened bullet dropped to the ground.
"Secret technique?!"
"Or perhaps..."
"A special item?"
Jason glanced at the female student president, realizing for the first time that her background was far more complex than he had imagined, but he did not keep his eyes fixed on her.
Instead, he pursued the gunman.
