"Ignas, stop!!"
The twins shouted it in unison the instant they saw the shadow.
Adam's eyebrows lifted. When he had broken the barrier and begun the fight, he had noticed a dot on his merit bracelet racing toward him at speed, though he'd had no time to bother with it then. He had not expected it to be a war apprentice come to snatch his merit.
"Hahaha, Adam of Moldo Tower, you're strong—stronger than I expected. But you must be out of mana now. I'll gladly take this rank-one Magefoe's merit!" The apprentice named Ignas laughed heartily. He had only tagged along to see what Adam and the other two were up to; he had never imagined a haul like this.
A hundred merit points—that's no small sum. Thinking it, he worked the blade-edged shadows outside the magnetic field and drove them at Peter Om.
