The old men were all staring at Damien Bloodbane as though he was some sort of freak. Their faces were a mix of shock, disbelief, and mild betrayal.
Damien Bloodbane was supposed to be a prodigy-mage-turned-errand-boy!
A genius completely on their side!
Why was he so skilled in mecha as though he was someone from the other side?
Only Athena the little girl was bouncing jubilantly next to him like a basketball.
"Kyaaah! Bro, you're so cool! You actually killed all five enemies! Even though they were probably some rich kid newbies who had more money than skill, you still did it! You're amazing!" Athena exclaimed enthusiastically.
If the five hotshots from China's Northern Army Corp were to hear her words, they would probably puke out gallons of blood.
What do you mean we have more money than skill?
Bro! If we had money, even just a little bit more, we wouldn't be here in this blasted army camp, okay?
