Life didn't get easier, even in another world.

'His what?'

Kairen's mouth opened wide.

"Shut up!"

Kain angrily moved his water whip.

"I get it now..."

He took one step back and created even more water blades.

"It was you!"

Kain heaved heavily.

BANGG

The water blades were once again slashed in half.

Kairen looked between Kain and the man. They were fighting. They were saying some stuff that was hard to understand but they were still fighting. So it was safe for him to join the fight. Kairen nodded inwardly and sent his explosive magic attack towards The First. 

As soon as the attack hit a water blade that was close to The First, it exploded, shooting fireballs everywhere.

The First jumped back, barely avoiding the explosion. He glanced at Kairen, then looked at the soil dude.

"Newcomer, why are you standing there doing nothing?"

He yelled loudly while running towards Kain again. 

"Take care of that mage!"

That was not a request but an order.

"...."

Mr. Hey flinched. He looked at The First, then Kain, and then Kairen. 

"Yes."

And nodded his head.

Tap 

He stepped towards Kairen.

'You are not serious, right? You gonna beat me again?'

Honestly, Kairen wasn't sure if he could last even a moment in front of this person. furthermore, he wanted to have a talk with him, not fight! He wanted to know if he was from another world or not!

Nonetheless, the soil dude raised his hand.

SHHH

SHHH

The soil on the ground, right before Kairen's feet, started to shake before it rose to the air. 

He then pointed at Kairen with the same hand.

SHAP

A bunch of soil splashed on Kairen's face.

"...."

"...."

SHAP

He moved his hand again and a little more soil splashed on his face.

"...."

"...."

The First and Kain stopped their intense fight for a moment and turned to Kairen and Mr. Hey.

SHAP

Some other soil was splashed on Kairen's face.

"...."

"...."

The two of them looked blankly at Kairen and Mr. Hey.

"...What are you... doing... newcomer?"

Mr. Hey answered in a serious tone.

"Fighting!"

He then moved his hand again.

"Soil slap!"

Some soil condensed in one spot and the whole thing slapped Kairen in the face. The condensed soil fell apart and dropped to the ground as soon as it touched Kairen. It didn't even hurt that much.

'Is he making fun of me?'

Kairen looked down at the soil.

'Or does he simply not want to fight?'

Kairen thought the first one would be the true answer, but he decided to believe that it was the latter.

'What should I do?'

Kairen wondered for a few seconds before making a decision.

'Let's follow along!'

Kairen cast a spell at the same time.

"Wind push!"

And shouted the name of the spell out loud like some kind of an anime character. 

SWOSH

A small breeze of air passed through the man's cheek, making his cloak flutter a little bit.

"How dare you?"

Mr. Hey talked through gritted teeth and moved his hand again.

"Soil rain No Jutsu!"

Soil rained down on Kairen's head.

"...."

"...."

Kairen stood blankly under the soil rain.

'Oh my god, he really is a cultured man from Earth!'

It was confirmed! 

Kairen understood the soil dude's secret code real quick!

Kairen was shocked, but not shocked at the same time. 

He was also happy, but not happy.

It was a mixed feeling.

He didn't know what to do and how to react.

There was someone else from Earth here. He wasn't alone.

But that someone else was on their enemy's side.

How did he come here? For how long was he here? What happened on earth after that solar eclipse?

Kairen wanted to jump at the man and ask him all of those questions, but he just couldn't.

So he just cast another spell.

"Tornado!"

A small finger-sized tornado moved towards the soil dude and disappeared as soon as it hit his face.

"....."

"....."

Kain and The First stared blankly at the scene before turning to look at each other.

'What is going on?'

'What are they doing?'

They looked at each other for a few seconds. 

BANNGG

Finally recovering from the mental shock he had received, Kain hit The First with his whip.

"Why don't you answer my question?"

He moved his whip again.

"Why are you alive and why are you here?"

The Frist moved up his sword to block the attack.

"Why do you guess? Didn't you say you understood things?"

"Tsk!"

Kain clicked his tongue as he frowned even more.

BANGG

His whip and the sword crashed.

'Why aren't they coming?'

He had called his unit members, why weren't they coming already?

'There shouldn't be other enemies-'

Kain suddenly remembered what his opponent said just a few minutes ago.

-That girl was about to cry after seeing that you left her alone!

'Is he talking about that girl who could create portals? Can this be that they've found her?'

But that girl wasn't capable of fighting as much as he remembered. It should still be easy for the agents to capture her and then arrive at this place, shouldn't it?

. . . . .

Claire stomped the ground as she clenched her fists.

"That bastard!"

She huffed as she walked forward.

"How could he leave me alone in that jungle and run away?"

"Halt!"

"Surrender!"

Claire looked at the agents that were surrounding her.

"Shut up and move aside!"

The agents didn't budge even though she yelled loudly.

"Tsk!"

Claire clicked her tongue. As she was standing there, a portal appeared under her foot. She fell into the portal and then came out of the portal that was created behind all of the agents.

"That bastard acted like he was such a good bastard before!"

She moved out of the portal and continued to walk.

"He acted as if he was my guardian or some shit like that! But now look at him! He left me alone in a fucking jungle and ran away! He ran away as soon as he saw that GPS bastard getting caught in an explosion!"

Seeing that she was capable of easily running away, the agents didn't stay around any longer and ran to her to capture her by force.

One agent moved her two swords as she rushed at Claire and the other one started to cast a spell.

"It's all because of that GPS guy! It's all because of him that my Mr. Hey suddenly became strange!"

Another portal appeared on the ground, but this time it was under the feet of the two agents trying to attack her. The second portal appeared high in the air.

"Ah?"

"Woaahh!"

The two agents fell to the ground from high in the air. The two of them didn't move after the fall.

Flinch

The other agents flinched.

The portal's height wasn't enough to kill them, but it was enough to knock them unconscious or break a few bones.

"He changed completely after he saw that boy on that icy ocean!"

Claire stopmed forward.

"Capture that girl!"

"She is a Philomns member!"

Agents rushed at her again.

"Do you know how hard it was to move out of that jungle alone?"

Asa clenched her small fists.

"I hate both of them! Both of them are bastards!"

But each time she would use her portals to defend herself, the agents would be dropped to the ground from the air or would end up passing the gate and attacking each other instead.

"I want to beat that bastard! I really really want to! And the other GPS bastard too! I hate him so much!"

. . . . . .

Kain created a water barrier to block the incoming attack from The First. Water splashed everywhere as he collided with the barrier.

It was just when he was about to create some other water blades...

"What is going on here?"

Someone asked in a surprised voice.

Kain could see the deputy team leader of unit 5 walking towards them with a shocked face.

Behind her were other members of unit 5 approaching them one by one.

"Did the red light blast come from here-"

Serria stopped talking after seeing that Kain was in the middle of fighting with someone and the soil dude and Kairen were happily doing some strange stuff. Darren, Carlson, Alan, and the others also had similar reactions as soon as they saw the situation. It looked like they had finished exploring the temple and had come here after hearing the noises.

And then Reyan walked out from behind the others.

"Kairen are you-"

He too stopped talking after seeing the man who was fighting Kain. 

"Huh?"

Reyan stared at The First, his eyes slightly widening and his face paling. The First's eyes also widened a little bit upon seeing him.

"Tsk!"

Kain clicked his tongue and hurriedly stepped away from The First.

Sensing the strange atmosphere, Kairen and Mr. Hey also stopped splashing soil and sending breezes to each other and turned towards the others. 

Reyan's hands holding his sword started to shake.

"U...un..."

He stuttered.

"Un.... Uncle?"
