"Tsch." An archer scoffed. "Don't get too cocky boy. I can defeat you in an instance."
"We'll see about that." Jeff nodded with a relaxed expression.
"Tsch. Rember this. The mont you make eye contact with an esper, it's already over."
Jeff felt an invisible finger poking his forehead.
Without hesitation, that archer shot an arrow at Jeff's knee.
"Nope." Jeff caught that arrow.
'Ok. This is getting annoying.' Jeff knitted his brows. He could still feel that poking finger.
'Shield!'
Jeff smacked that finger away with his mana shield.
"Hiiiaaahhh!" The archer shrieked and squatted down. Holding tightly onto his own head, that guy seed to be going through a serious headache.
"Tssss... Ahhh..." The archer sucked in air in pain. Looked like he needed a mont to recover.
Jeff: ?!
'Wait... Huh. So that's what happens? Well. That wasn't intentional.'
"Hmph. If those attacks are too slow to you, how about this." A dude in camouflaged gears pulled out three feathers.
Then he froze in place. Feeling the cold blade resting by his neck, the dude gulped.
"Mana projectiles... I don't know. Maybe." Jeff pulled back his dagger. "But you sure won't have a chance to fire them."
"You've got to be kidding right." Soone chuckled in disbelief.
"I have to be dreaming..."
These guys couldn't even catch a trace of Jeff's movents. In their view, Jeff had instantly appeared by that mage.
'Aannnd I didn't even activate any abilities...' Walking back to that open space, Jeff raised his brows and looked around, waiting for new challengers.
"How's this fair!" Soone shouted in disbelief, gesturing at Jeff. "Why does an untrained civilian get to awaken this level of power."
"Ohhhh. This world is bullcrap!" Soone ranted, as if questioning what they'd done with their ti. "This guy doesn't even have his sidekick's form right!"
"You found so way to strengthen yourself didn't you!"
"Yeah! Don't lie to us. We've seen through you."
"Let out your little secret, or." A gunman stepped forward.
"Or what." Jeff squinted.
"Or..." The gunman gulped. Grasping onto his rifle, he still felt insecure.
Sure, Jeff wasn't faster than bullets. But he was sure faster than the people aiming and firing those bullets.
"Maybe I can pay you... For that information... If you don't mind..."
"Or..." It's another guy speaking. "We can work for you."
'Nope. Not happening.' Jeff shook his head at the offer. These guys would only drag him down in battle.
This offer reminded Jeff of Alice and that wolfman. 'Still not strong enough huh...'
Jeff balled his fist, and then unclenched his fists. 'Still can't ensure the safety of the people around ...'
Returning his mind to the present mont... Thinking of what to reply...
"Hmm..." Jeff thought for a mont.
The crowd waited in silence.
"It's really not a secret." Jeff shrugged. "You can only count on yourself if you want to get stronger."
(Yourself in other worlds is still yourself.
