"No."
Without an ounce of hesitation, the boy gave a lethargic and succinct response to the girl brandishing her weapon.
Gloria, who was in the midst of launching an attack, stumbled, nearly falling flat on her face from the momentum of her charge.
Regaining her balance, her face was a picture of fury as she glared furiously at the boy. Her excitement of making a grand entrance dissipated within a mere five seconds as he completely ruined the mood.
"What?! No?! Are you even a man?! The enemy has challenged you and all you can say is no?!"
"Well, going against a girl feels awful. Plus, I have no reason to waste my time here playing Knight, so could you please just leave?"
The boy politely bowed, intending to bypass the dumbfounded girl. But as he lifted his foot, a flash of white light ran through him.
"What... What the-! This could kill someone!"
