Make Sure They Can't Run First

The three of them gave me an incredulous look, obviously thinking that I was being ridiculous.

"You're actually being serious right now?" Riklan asked.

I tilted my head, "Does it look like I'm joking? You tried to kill me and even stole my stuff, were you expecting me to not retaliate?"

"That's not the point… Do you really think you stand a chance against us? You're just a healer."

"Mmhmm… Why are you still talking? I'm ready to fight, you know?"

Riklan charged towards me without another word, his sword swinging towards my neck at full force.

Seems like he's really serious about trying to kill me.

But well… I'm already at a level where Katsuki's speed could be seen as a blur to me so when I'm focused and ready, Riklan's movements were really slow in comparison.

I even had time to check that Kaelin and Eita remained where they were and weren't trying to flank me from the side.
