416 Battles [2]

"Huuuu." 

Placing my hands in my pockets, I exhaled as white steam rose from my mouth. 

A chilly breeze brushed past me as the cold air made me involuntarily shiver. Had to say, the mornings in Issanor were quite cold. 

"You guys here pretty early." 

Moving through the crowd, my footsteps soon came to a halt as I gazed into the distance where Hein, Ava, Leopold, Smallsnake, and the others were already waiting.

I smiled at them. 

'Looks like everyone is here.' 

Well, everyone apart from Angelica. 

Kind of felt bad for her but it seemed as though she was happy with this arrangement. 

Gazing in Hein's and Ava's direction, I asked. 

"Are you two ready?" 

"Yes." 

"Um." 

The both of them firmly nodded their heads. They looked quite confident in themselves. 

Especially Ava whose eyes burned with fighting spirit as she tightly held her flute in her right hand.
