Shadow's Past

"Ha! That was amazing. I killed five of those undead monsters." Julia laughed as she heaved deep breaths, trying to calm her breathing.

"Yeah. That was indeed amazing. I also killed five. But I could only pierce the defenses of just three. Other two I killed by piercing their brains through the eyes." Professor Nina sighed but one could see she was genuinely happy.

James kept silent, too embarrassed to tell his achievement of killing two level 7 zombies by piercing their eyes. 

Secretly, he clenched his fists, and vowed in his heart, 'I'll do better next time and will kill them by stabbing their heads, not eyes.'

Just then, he heard Julia ask him, "How many you killed James?"

"Ah! I-I only killed two." He said in a whisper.

"That's very good, James. Just keep this up and you'll surpass us in no time." Professor Nina in an encouraging tone.
