'That's like… something between 500 and 800 miles.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is gonna suck.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle was already not the fastest, and with the addition of Michael, they were even slower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael was a Sorcerer. He didn't have an improved body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy could only run at a speed of about 30 kph, and he would run out of Ether within less than an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To speed up the journey, Kyle decided to summon his True Body and simply put Michael on his shoulder like a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bit awkward, but that was the best way to speed up the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Kyle was no longer wearing any armor and since he had summoned his True Body, he was not slow anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could run at over 100 kph for hours on end without running out of Ether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the others were even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them were slower than 150 kph, but they had to match Kyle's speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, I suck at calculating stuff,\" Kyle said while running. \"How long is this going to take?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About ten hours,\" Tracy answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ten fucking hours of running,' Kyle thought with a groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, they kept running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talked about random topics while running along the roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, they passed through a village without interacting with anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another 30 minutes later, they passed through a town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey was kind of interesting and kind of boring at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle saw a bunch of different environments and even a couple of beasts, but after a while, the scenery became boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way,\" Kyle said as he remembered something. \"What about all the money that was thrown into the arena?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not ours,\" Bormine answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Why?\" Kyle asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It belongs to Exploding Aegis,\" Michael answered from Kyle's shoulders. \"Our coach owns Exploding Aegis, which means all of the money goes to him. You would have gotten your share if I were still part of the team. Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle just sighed. \"Yeah, well. At least we will still get paid for the mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What a shit mission. Almost died for like two Ether Stones. There had to be several Ether Stones worth of money in that arena. Asshole coach gets to earn a shitload of cash while we get barely anything.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Capitalism, yay!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I should totally buy a tournament team and hire a trainer and manager for them. Passive income! Wonder if people in fantasy land thought about putting ads on their players' uniforms.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing exciting happened for the next two hours of the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, they had left the territory of the Four-Weapons Guild, Naga Covenant, and entered the territory of the Three-Weapons Guild to the west of the Stark Brotherhood's territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they passed by another village, they entered a long road leading through a thick forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seemed normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why am I getting nervous?' Kyle thought with furrowed brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Kyle's instincts were telling him that he was in a dangerous location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm nervous,\" Kyle whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How come?\" Michael asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Kyle wasn't saying this to Michael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your instincts have proven to be accurate in the past,\" Theodor answered. \"If your instincts say that something dangerous is here, they are most likely right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he sniffed the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see if he could smell something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I smell nothing, but we are also quite fast. Smell doesn't spread this quickly.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If something dangerous is actually close by, and if I can't smell it, it means the danger was not on our path.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That means the danger is behind us or beside us.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's take a break,\" Kyle said as he stopped running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others stopped running and looked at Kyle with raised brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A break?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My feet are getting tired from all the running,\" Kyle said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he said that, a light appeared in everyone's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dwarves knew that Kyle was amazing at sensing danger, which was why he was responsible for warning everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sentence, Kyle had just told them that something or someone was following them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tired feet?\" Falk asked with a laugh. \"What? Do your baby feet have blisters, or are you simply tired?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How the fuck am I supposed to know at this point? Shit hurts, and I'm tired. I have no fucking idea,\" Kyle answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being tired meant they were being followed by humans while having blisters meant there were beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle had said that he had no idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, the more Kyle talked up the pain, the more threatening the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I swear, if I don't do anything about this shit, I'm going to die,\" Kyle added with annoyance as he pulled one of his boots off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, we should continue,\" Bormine said. \"You can just relax in a restaurant, bed, or bar. There's a town just 20 kilometers away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the fucking point?\" Kyle asked. \"This shit hurts so much that I fear I won't even get there in time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others tried their best to keep their expressions in check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Kyle looked at his foot, and at the same time, his nose caught a whiff of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah,\" Kyle said in surprise as he looked at his foot. \"Turns out there are no blisters there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just fucking tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A human was following them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Michael,\" Kyle said. \"Are you sure traveling like this to Starkhold is safe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mostly,\" Michael said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyle wanted to ask more, but he didn't want to make it seem like he knew what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he appeared calm outside, he was actually extremely nervous inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he supposed to tell everyone to get ready to battle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he supposed to just continue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he supposed to tell them to scatter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they fought together and the enemy was too strong, they would all die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if the enemy were beatable, splitting up would be bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the correct decision?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What the fuck am I supposed to do?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyle,\" Tracy said, and Kyle looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's going to be fine.
