Encounter
Rufus seems to be panicking so Reiji did not hesitate anymore and immediately went outside...
'My student seems to be in trouble outside. I'm going to see what's happening...'
Reiji informed Felix while dashing away.
His fellow sentient Arcana were quite worried so they decided to follow behind.
The stealth-mode shinai flew rapidly and arrived near his student almost instantly...
They were not too far from the old mansion and were brought to an alley where there's barely a passer-by.
In front of Rufus was a bloodied Ruthren being stomped by a lady...
The lady was accompanied by another man and both of them exudes a powerful Spiritual Energy. They are perhaps some Arcanists or powerful Hunters...
After all, Ruthren isn't someone who can be defeated by a normal person.
Considering the previous events, Reiji can guess that they are Renzo and Karen... The two noble Arcanists connected with this slave through their business deals.
