Damsels In Distress!

Ahhhhhhhh!—

Zerix let out a scream of agony as his hand was severed by the mysterious shuriken.

!?

Hearing Zerix's painful scream, Erina opened her eyes, her mind confused, to see Zerix writhing on the ground, his blood flowing freely.

She couldn't believe that she had been saved at the last moment.

As she looked around, she saw Ares approaching, the shuriken returning to his hand.

Erina felt a sense of relief wash over her as she recognized Ares.

"You're finally here," she said, trying to keep the tremble out of her voice.

"What are you morons waiting for? Attack him now!" Zerix screamed in desperation, unaware that his faction members had already been taken down by Ares.

The three students who had betrayed Erina stood frozen, their expressions terrified. They knew they were no match for Ares.

Swish!— Swish!— Swish!—

Suddenly, three arrows came out of nowhere, striking the three betrayers and knocking them down.
