Glancing at Silver's held-out hand cautiously, I slowly held out my own.
Then…
… Now!
As our fingertips touched, I suddenly summoned my Chaos katanas and slashed towards him. However, it only hit metal.
He had drawn his sword as well, and had attempted to do the same thing as I did.
"Looks like we had the same idea, huh?" I said with a smirk, but he only gave a snort and backed away a good few meters before pointing his blade at me.
"Hmph. I didn't expect that to work anyway… I only did that to test you, that's all. The offer still stands, you know. Join me, and we shall take down the Midnight Syndicate together."
"Uh… that offer would be more tempting if you didn't have a sword pointed at me," I said, sighing and shaking my head. "But alas… I'm not someone who teams up with others easily. Sorry, but… I don't need you."
