There are 5 guys crowding around my friend. They seem like allies judging by the fact that they are all alive and well. They all have long cloaks hiding their bodies. I simply go:
[Bad news, he managed to run, but at least he shouldn't be coming back.]
I can hear the sound of them all losing their shit. They go:
"Oh my god! This is amazing!"
"So strong! He had it coming!"
"As expected of someone the Champion brought back!"
Wait, Champion? Who knew…?
Okay, even I understand how crazy and lowkey boastful my earlier statement sounded. I'm not even sorry about it. I'm just enjoying their gazes filled with admiration.
After all, the man I just sent running was a rank 4, a sect master to boot. There were circumstances helping me, but they don't need to know that part.
