——While Julien was performing. Before the final act.
Backstage.
Clank—!
Sparks flew as a sword met against another. Swiftly twirling his sword against another's, Leon twisted it down and brought his fist forward, hitting his opponent right in the face.
Bang!
"Ukh!"
He followed up his attack with another.
With a swift and decisive blow, his opponent fell down face flat against the ground.
Thump!
"Huuu."
Taking a deep breath, Leon looked around. There were a total of four people lying down on the ground unconscious.
Wearing knight uniforms, they were part of the actors that were supposed to show up on stage. He had been waiting for them at the back, in an area where the staff couldn't see.
At the same time, he made sure to use as little mana as possible when fighting against his opponents.
