Ars wasn't quite expecting to be the first one to encounter the Pope. He was simply following the Director's orders, which simply told him to interrupt the ceremony and massacre everyone inside. He was more than up for it, but the presence of the Pope really changed how things worked.
"If that woman shows up, run for your life." The Director had said very clearly to him. That woman referred to the Pope, who was rumoured to be the strongest in Buevonville. However, Ars had no intentions of backing down or running away. In fact, he was having fun for the first time in a while.
Although he wasn't sure in the beginning, the fact that he was able to evade the boulders of the Pope without even a scratch told him something,
I can beat her! Ars thought, gradually feeling more and more confident about his chances. Why was the Director even afraid of this woman?
