The man who had just appeared from nowhere had a black scarf on his face, covering his mouth and nose, he walked closer to the three not minding that he was outnumbered.
"Kill him!" The dark man ordered.
The other two who were with him quickly came down from their bikes and summoned their soul weapons.
One had a large spiked baton in his hands now while the other one had a red chain.
Looking at the two soul weapons you would know that it had taken a lot of creativity to create them.
Looking at everything unfolding before his eyes, Leo didn't know what to make of it.
"They can use magic?" The tentmaker mumbled.
Tania had slowly backed away with the opportunity she had and had quickly rushed to Leo.
"We should get going while we have the chance." She said,
"Wait, we have to thank our rescuer first," Leo said.
"What makes you sure he'll win?" Tania said pointing out the number disadvantage.
"Would he show up in the first place if he wasn't confident enough to fight them?"
"I don't know, maybe he heard my distress call and decided to jump in without thinking much about it," Tania said.
Leo just smiled as he nodded towards the fight scene.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTania turned and was surprised to see the man with the chain on the floor and the one with the batton receiving a knee down his stomach.
The man with the chain had been the first to attack quickly, throwing his chain towards the knight in shining armor.
He avoided the chain by sidestepping and immediately grabbing onto the chain.
The man with the chain gave off a smile of pleasure but his face turned horrid after he tried to pull the chain and it wasn't moving.
The rescuer on black coat gave the chain a few light thugs before propelling himself forward and delivering a deadly kick right on the robber's face, his blades were also moving with him and two of them had quickly gone straight for the man on the floor pinning him on the floor through both shoulders.
"Ahhhhh!" The man screamed out of the excruciating pain of feeling two sharp blades go through his shoulders.
The second man came attacking with his spear and swung it down on him as fast as he could, but the man was quick enough to step out of the way before the thing could hit him.
The robber was open after that careless attack, the man on black coat sent a powerful kick to his wrist causing him to let go of his baton, and then grabbing him by both shoulders he sent his knee down his stomach.
He was on the floor now as the same procedure with his mate was repeated on him, two blades came flying and pinning him to the ground but unlike his friend, he didn't scream but just groaned.
The man heard the sound of a roaring engine and turned to see that their so-called leader had zoomed off.
"Coward." He muttered.
Tania who had just witnessed everything happen was in shock, she wasn't surprised because she thought doing something like this would be impossible but how easily he had done it was what she still couldn't comprehend.
The man left the two who were struggling on the floor and started walking up to the two who were standing by the side.
He had picked up the remaining three blades floating around him and put them in his pocket.
"Thank you," Leo said.
But the man didn't reply as he kept staring at Tania who was beginning to have second thoughts about who their rescuer was.
'Why is he looking at me like that?' Tania felt panicked knowing that if the man was to start something, she wasn't sure another person would show up to save them.
"I have some questions for both of you." The man finally said.
The man had taken the two back to his home and during their short work home, they had discovered that his name was Bryan and that he was in a special military force even though they didn't know what that meant.
The duo sat down in his living room as Bryan came in with two cups of coffee.
He placed one in front of Leo and took a sip from the one he had in his hand.
"Hey, you can have a look at the fridge and take a drink since you don't actually know any of the beverages," Bryan said pointing towards the fridge at the other side of the room which happened to be the dining room.
Tania felt reluctant but still got up to check up on the fridge.
"So cold." She said on opening the fridge.
Taking a look at all the numerous drinks there she couldn't make up her mind on which one to take, more like she was being cautious of what she was going to be taking into her body.
Unlike coffee and some of the liquor in this strange world, she had never seen these types of drinks before.
"That's water." She said picking up bottled water. "Cold." She almost dropped the water there.
To be on the safe side the teenager had taken a bottle of water and turned around to see that the two adults were still in discussion.
"Water?" Bryan chuckled on seeing what she had in her hands. "You didn't tell me you were still thirsty."
"I like drinking lots of water." Tania awkwardly said and returned back to her seat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBryan kept looking at her with a slight smile which was making her feel uncomfortable.
"Tania, right?" Bryan asked.
"Yes." She nodded.
"Do you have any physical combat training?"
Thinking back at home, she had received some lessons on fighting through her brother but that was two years ago and she couldn't say that she really learned anything from it.
"Not really." She said,
"I thought so, how would you see going to the academy?"
Tania wasn't answering just yet because she was trying to get some things straight, first what type of academy was that, and second, why would a man who just saved and brought them to his house offer to send her to an academy, she knew how sending her brother to knights Academy had taken quite a toll on her parent's finances.
"What academy?" She finally asked.
"Eukerion academy, almost every child in this empire is there even those picked off the streets."
"Picked off the street"

'That has to be where he is.'
