Rapid Fire.

"Hey! Listen to me," he said something, but before he could complete it, I tightened my grip around his neck.

"Kugh." He choked as I lifted him further up, clutching my arm with his hands.

Sigh.

"Now let's begin with the rapid-fire round," I sighed. "I'll loosen my grip each time I want you to answer, and you can only answer with yes or no. Do you understand?" I asked.

Thuk*

"?" He kicked me in the abdomen, attempting to break free from my grip. However, his kick had no strength and no effect on me since I had already strengthened my body with mana.

"I asked you something." It seemed like he didn't understand what I was saying, so...

"Do you understand?" I repeated myself, this time pressing my thumb against his Adam's apple to make him realize that I wouldn't hesitate to kill him.

Tap*

He tapped twice on my forearm, and I loosened my grip a little. "I'll take that as a yes from you then."
