In the middle of Jormun City—
a place that was lively moments ago—
everything had turned completely silent because the people had already been evacuated to a safer place.
The HitYou organization surrounded the enemy.
One of the high-ranking members of HitYou, Peter, was also involved in this incident.
Peter was currently Level 7 with the Fighting Path.
Perhaps he would be able to deal with the mysterious man.
He stood behind the enemy at a distance of three meters, ready to strike at any moment.
"My name is Lamia, the traitor,"
said the mysterious man to everyone.
"Are you The Zero?" Lamia asked Ciko.
Ciko Joun didn't answer.
He didn't want to make a reckless move in a situation like this.
"Alright, if you don't want to admit it now,"
"I'll wait. You won't let your friend stay blind forever, right?"
Lamia's words sounded unbearably annoying in Ciko's ears.
"See you. We'll probably meet again next time."
Lamia dashed forward, leaped onto a building rooftop, and vanished.
Peter followed and jumped after him, but he couldn't match Lamia's extreme speed.
"I can't catch him."
THUD.
Peter landed on the roof of a tall house.
He had failed to capture Lamia, who leaped far too high.
Peter suspected that Lamia was already at Rank 5 or higher,
because the strength required to jump that high was enormous.
Meanwhile, Ann—still blind—was immediately taken back to the dormitory to receive treatment.
At Lady Isabella's dormitory,
Ciko Joun returned to his room, hoping he could sleep soon so he could find answers to the mystery of Ann's blindness and Lamia the traitor.
But… it was really hard to fall asleep.
The wall clock pointed to 8:00 in the morning.
Ciko had an idea.
He would count sheep to make himself sleepy.
Ciko Joun began counting:
1 sheep jumped
2 sheep jumped
3 sheep jumped
4 sheep
5…
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ciko Joun fell asleep.
