His thoughts racing faster and his emotions dulling.
[-30 HP]
Null was thinking of ways to win.
Normally he would of just ran from the situation.
And decisively deal with his enemies, just like in the outer-city, those stronger than him and chose, to make a enemy out of him never had a nice sleep after or, woke up.
But he scaled his losses and profits.
If he ran to safety, he would lose the trust that Ezze and Lumina had in him.
Or they both would die.
He would lose the rewards from the quest now, rather than later in a decesive attack.
On the other side he would live.
If he stayed to fight.
He would lose his life
Possible profits.
He would gain rewards from the system.
The trust Ezze and Lumina had in him would increase.
He wanted to fight these guys when he finally established a plan he, but the more he thought about it the more plausible them winning is, he knew that Ezze would help him and, she was way stronger than Sira.
So he just needed to keep Hibeon and Keld...
Busy
...
...
Easier said than done.
Null grabbed the arrow and, pulled.
He had a relaxed expression and, casually pulled it out.
He than began running.
His body healed as his energy decreased slightly.
He wanted to ask about that after this quest, how could he even heal like this?
Anyways he had to focus as he charged forward.
Then Hibeon reloaded one crossbow.
Aimed.
Released.
Ting, Bang
The arrow didn't land, it lodged itself deep into the floor.
[Common Active Skill : Dash ]
[Activated]
{Host will be propelled, being able to travel forward by 10 meters in a second}
He burst forward and threw a right hook with all his strength.
Yet Hibeon leaned back as he raised his reloaded crossbow.
'Yet even though being that close he dodged?!' Null was shocked.
Bam
Through the armpit till the metallic arrow head poked out behind his shoulders.
[-40 HP]
He was push back but, when he grazed the floor.

Then reared and swung.
Hibeon dodged.
Null grinned.
Keld was right in front of him.
Bam
Thud
Null rolled on the floor and ran right at Keld.
[-10 HP]
Null ripped out the arrow in his right hand.
'He blocked my arrow' Hibeon narrowed his eyes and, reloaded his crossbow.
Aiming
Bam
Again reloading
Bam
Again
Bam
Again
Bam
Null paused his sprint as the arrow indented into the floor.
He kept his eye on Hibeon's hands.
He moved to the right than immediately maneuvered to the left, he fell to the floor.
His body not keeping up.
He rolled as the last arrow skimmed his right brow.
Null looked at Hibeon who hurriedly looked back as he grabbed another arrow.
[Common Active Skill : Dash ]
[Activated]
[-50 Stamina]
'I need to hold back if i want to survive.' Null thought as his fist collided straight into Keld's face.
His body flung to the floor, Null skid on the floor then turned around grabbing Keld.
As Hibeon aimed.
But didn't shoot.
Keld was in the way.
As Null had him in a choke hold.
"Move and I'll shoot you down like a dog." Hibeon threatened.
"It takes more than one shot to put down a rapid dog and, you won't be able to ready a arrow before i break his neck." Null threaten back.
Hibeon narrowed his eyes as he lowered his crossbow.
'Now second step.' Null said looking at Keld remembering his description from the inspect skill

"Now you don't want to lose your leader right?" Null than said speaking a flat tone. "In our current situation you know how valuable he is, even after this."
Hibeon was paying attention to what he was saying and question's appeared.
How did he know about Keld's ability?
How did he have information on the project?
And how did he dodge my arrows?
"With your expression, that confirm's to me that the situation that will unfold fits the S. O. T. F. method name." Null said.
"Say what you want to say already." Hibeon said.
"Heal me" Null spoke steadily.
Keld, his nose broken and blood flowing laughed and snorted out some mucas tainted with red "What reason would make me do that?" Keld said mockingly his strange due to his broken nose.
Swiftly Null placed one hand around his head.
Then smashed him down to the floor and his hand around his nape.
Hibeon aimed about to shoot but...
"I don't think that is to the best of your interest" Null commented.
He continued to press Keld's head.
"HAAA!!" Keld screamed in pain.
Now that his highest stat is strength he could pop the boy's head.
"Do you want to kill him!!" Hibeon shouted.
Null lightened the pressure "What more reason do you need?" Null asked Keld.
Hibeon looked at Null he could kill him in seconds why did he not, because Null had his hand around Keld's nape the back of his neck, where he could easily paralyze and kill Keld, even if Null was not fast enough he would just drag Keld as a shield.
He knew nothing about Null but that he fought and won against a Meta while him not being one.
Hibeon didn't believe that one bit.
Null's movements were faster than an average human easily.
Then Keld began to scream.
"Stop stop, Why are you doing this again?!!" Keld screamed.
Null lightened the pressure he put on his head.
"Then heal me." Null said sternly.
"Okay okay!" Keld relented he moved his hand and placed it on the hand on his head.

'Now i have to find a way to win against Hibeon because clearly Ezze is having some problem's of her own with Sira.' Null thought.
Null's eyes began to darken into blue, he breathed out as his breath was cold.
[Abnormalities found in the brain]
[Warning!!]
Null, mentally pushed the notifications away.
He already knew.
'So you don't get in the way.' Null swiftly raised Keld by the head and punched him to knock him out rather than kill him.
Swosh
Bam
A arrow right behind his thigh.
[-20 HP]
Null, decisively pull out the arrow and stabbed straight for Keld's throat.
Thud

Slammed into him, Null rolled and collecting himself he is kicked in the face and a boot pressed on to his Throat.
A arrow ready in Hibeon's bow.
