-Step. Step. Step.
Just a moment ago, the faint footsteps behind me had ceased, leading me to believe my pursuers were reassessing their strategy. However, with a stronger presence now approaching—likely their leader—my senses sharpened.
I wasn't one to shy away from a fight or passively accept any threats.
Having grown up admiring some of the best knights and mages, even while not being a formally trained warrior, facing the boss of a backstreet thug group was hardly intimidating.
So...
"Miss?"
There was a magic device on me that could stun and paralyse any humans around, except the user activating the device.
-Tak!
-Strrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!
I used the device, and a wave of current spread all around the surrounding area, hitting the individual behind me and doing exactly what it was supposed to.
-Thud.
"You should have chosen your target carefully," I advised the fool, turning around with a triumphant smirk on my face, looking down at the man in mage's robes.
"Dumb people."
