Risk
"I understand your concerns, Daniel… and I respect them. However, you have all reached the limits of your strength. You need ample rest…"
Daniel and the rest of the Camp members lowered their heads and looked guilty. Despite their good intentions, they were only going to be liabilities. The bunch had also realized it!
"… Besides, it's because your Levels are all low, that's why you can not sense it…" My tone became more ominous as I looked at them and released an inkling of my pressure to make them feel terrified.
"… If you cross that third Gate with your current Levels, you'll all die!"
I could hear all of the Gifted swallow the moment my statement dropped. Their eyes showed something that had been missing for some time… fear!
Sweat formed on Daniel's face and his face fell as well.
"Ah, I see… understood." Aware of his own weakness, the boy bit his lip in frustration and decided to leave me at my decision.
