Chapter 402 - Alexandre de Beaumont [1/2]

It wasn't long before the helicopter was overhead, and they all looked up. Seraphina and Emily were still off to the side together, where they'd spend the last few minutes talking, but they, too, interrupted their conversation to look up with concern. 

Only, rather than land, the helicopter continued hovering, and a man appeared in the open door. Erik raised an eyebrow in surprise. His mind went back to a year ago, when Katya jumped out of a hovering helicopter, but she was a powerful Runebound. 

'Surely he's not going to jump?' he thought to himself. 'Even a third ranked Arcanist would die from a drop that high.' 

But his eyes widened, when the man did exactly that. 

Katya, however, didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, she looked at Alexandre solemnly. 

"Alexandre is one of the most dangerous fighters the human faction has," Katya explained without taking her eyes of the rapidly approaching man. "Because he can fly."
