"Stage four?!" He noted in surprise.
"Already?!...He was pushed to stage four already?!" Yeong-Un seemed upset by this, becoming more impatient as he gripped his blades, "Fuck this! I'm helpin' him!"
Before the impatient man could move in, he was held back once again by his companion, who gripped his biceps from behind.
"Dammit, fire-head! He's your teacher, too, ain't he?! What're ya' gonna do if he dies!?" Yeong-Un barked.
"...I'm going to be in the battle long before that happens!" He retorted, "Trust me!"
"--!" Yeong-Un seemed confused, ripping away from his hold as he turned around to meet him face-to-face, "This is bullshit, and ya' know it! Korain is just tryin' to sacrifice himself for us! I won't let that shit happen!"
Eunji and Moon were silent, leaving him to be the one to have to settle his friend down, with the only method that came to mind.
"Yeong-Un…" He said quietly, clenching his fists.
"Huh?" The man raised one of his scar-slashed eyebrows at him.
