'He's a hero, surely he won't be unscrupulous, right?' Jash tried to think like that but found it incredibly hard to maintain that thought.
He didn't know if he was thinking that way to fool himself or if he really believed those thoughts.
He quickly assessed his surroundings, calculating his next moves as two more attackers closed in.
But before he could counter-attack, he saw Grunghin, who had closed the distance between them, ready to attack him as he dealt with the other two.
It was a good move, if not for being against Jash, who couldn't help but deem it pathetic.
'At least they know the word teamwork,' Jash thought in an attempt to lighten his previous doubts, but it did nothing to dampen the bad feeling.
Unnecessarily growing wary was also a disadvantage and Jash understood it well enough.
His movements were slightly sluggish compared to before, but it wasn't very conspicuous, given how tired and haphazard the group was.
