"Can you guess what I just heard about recently?"
Hanging out within the inner part of Sky-Pierce City, Jared turned to Leo who had his eyes glued to the book in his hand, slight excitement apparent on his face.
"Oh?"
Even as he read his new book, Leo usually wouldn't lose focus, but he was almost absentminded when Jared spoke, not that Jared actually noticed.
"A Sword Anomaly expedition that almost resulted in total annihilation was carried out close to the Capital. Coincidentally enough, one man saved the whole group just like you did!"
While it wasn't Leo's original intention by accepting Jared's friendship, Jared's casual talks during their daily outings were meaningfully helpful, it was like taking out a newspaper for a walk!
'Did he finally do it?'
"If it was an actual Sword Anomaly, then that makes sense. Even without a traitor like ours, they are far more dangerous."
"No joke, the man that saved them was a peak Sword Grandmaster yet he was barely able to do it!"
