The Author's POV

-Swooosh!

Quietly moving around the buildings, Amanda made sure to always be within a one hundred to a fifty-meter radius of Arnold. Just as Ren had told her.

Along the way, she, along with Donald, made sure to only subtly hide their presence. Just about enough so that the opposing team could spot them if they used a skill or looked carefully.

...This was one of the things Ren had specifically told her to do.

Honestly, this was much harder than Amanda thought it was because if she was too obvious the other team would notice that something was wrong, and if she hid too well, the other team wouldn't find her and thus be unable to deduce that Arnold was the code holder.

....what a troubling situation.

Still, since Amanda said she would do it, she tried her best.

Gripping tightly onto the handle of her bow, Amanda glanced at Arnold below her and quietly climbed higher up in the buildings.

However, just as she was about to reach the top of the building, sensing something, Amanda shifted her head to the right as the silver body of a blade flew past her.

-Swooosh!

Narrowly avoiding the blade by a hair breath, Amanda suddenly somersaulted backward as the tip of a spear penetrated the area she was previously in.

-Kacha!

Whilst still in the air, with a cold face, Amanda extended the string of her bow. Shortly after, as two blue translucent arrows materialized on her bow, she caught sight of two individuals, one with a spear and one with a blade. She soon released the string of the bow.

-Swoosh! -Swoosh!

Like a bullet, the two arrows split the air as they quickly made their way towards the two individuals.

-Clank! -Clank!

Staring at the incoming arrows, standing in front of the individual holding onto the blade, the spear user, using the body of the spear, quickly rotated the spear in his hand and a whistle arose.

Thereafter, the loud sound of metal clashing reverberated across the surroundings.

"khhh..."

Taking a couple of steps back, the spear user couldn't help but grunt as he felt the impact of the arrows clashing against his spear.

Staring at Amanda in the distance, the spear user, John Redgrave couldn't help but say.

"Damn, you're just as strong as the rumors say"

Softly landing on the ground, Amanda coldly glanced at the two individuals before her.

...skilled.

That's the first thought that came into Amanda's mind as she stared at the two of them.

Although the clash had only lasted for a brief moment, from the way they coordinated and how they managed to quickly react to her arrows, the duo was definitely not simple.

Unbothered by Amanda's unresponsiveness, staring at the youth next to him that wore small-framed glasses and had short blonde hair, John moved forward as he once again thrust his spear towards Amanda.

"Dante cover me"

Thereafter, synchronizing with John, the other youth called Dante leaped forward like a leopard and quickly arrived beside Amanda.

-Kacha!
