"I'm going to ask... Again, but this time... I'm going to ask two... Questions, okay?" Johan said, trying to hold on to every drop of saliva in his mouth to stop his throat from closing.
"Um." The old man retorted, with his throat still fiery dry.
"What's the other... Alternative? E... You said... Blackwood?"
The old man let out a debauched chuckle.
"Are you really saying you don't know Alexander Blackwood? The founder of the most lethal fighting style in all of Sabaid?"
Johan shook his head.
So the idea he'd had at that moment was wrong...
But...
This Alexander was still a Blackwood, so he must have had something to do with Percival, right?
Besides... The old man had said something about Erick's fighting style being the fighting style of the... Blackwood.
Could it be...?
But Johan didn't have time to complete his thought, for the old man had already spoken again, answering Johan's other question.
