Aether's eyes widened immediately, reflecting a mix of surprise and apprehension, as he witnessed an air bubble materialize right before his very face. In the blink of an eye, the bubble burst with a resounding,
"BOOM!!"

"Looks like we have a tough opponent!" Leon exclaimed with a smile, cracking his fingers in anticipation.
"W-Wait!" Aether raised his hand hastily, speaking hurriedly, "I'm not one of them. I was just walking along the path and saw the explosion, so I came here to see if anybody needed help."
"Hmm?" Leon frowned, sceptical, "Then.... why don't you remove that ugly head cover of yours?"
