Ambush

A short silence ensued, as Ope stepped forward once, "Who are you?" He said in a surprisingly calm tone for him.

This was enough to slightly catch some people off guard, but it wasn't noteworthy.

They looked at the tall young man at the end of the corridor who was still slowly walking forward to see his reaction to this statement.

The young man had baggy pants, and no armor so to speak on his lanky frame. Despite having slimmer limbs, he was still clearly muscular. He didn't have much of a shirt either, only some fabric that covered his shoulder and neck region.

The same sort of fabric--condensed into a plug, was inserted into both of his ears.

This allowed his entire abdominal region to be exposed, and what could be seen there was a set of ripped 8-pack abs with shredded bear claws.

"How the hell has he not frozen to death with that little shoulder skirt he has on?" Mane sneered for a moment, almost humourously.
