Both Rok Soo and Cale felt all the gazes focus on them, the raven-haired korean slowly got up.

Rok Soo was cheering Witira on after watching her send Toonka flying, but he urgently let out his shield because he did not want the knights to get hurt. While Cale immediately shoot out an arrow to create a crystal dome to also protect the knights. The redhead was actually surprised, he made the dome without the red elf's help.

Because of that, the inside of the shield was created toward Rok Soo instead of the knights. Thankfully, the knights did not get hurt, but he had just ended up unintentionally saving Toonka.

Rok Soo seemed calm as he stood up, but his legs were numb from crouching for too long.

"Ah."

Rok Soo frowned as he stood up. He stumbled because his left leg was numb.

"Rok Soo!"

"Mister Rok Soo! Young Master Cale!"

Amiru rushed over with a shocked expression. Paseton, who was also shocked, grabbed onto Rok Soo's arm. However, Rok Soo pushed Paseton away and stood up straight. Cale, whose expression contorted into worry, supported the raven-haired korean. Amiru had an urgent expression as she rushed over to both Rok Soo and Cale.

"Mister Rok Soo! Young Master Cale! You two needn't to use your strengths! Why did you two do it?"

Amiru was very surprised to see the silver shield came from Rok Soo himself, it would seem that he too was at the capital during the incident. But judging from the raven-haired korean, it was like he wanted to hide his strength. Amiru, who understood Rok Soo's intentions, decided to keep his strength a secret.

'Why? I didn't want to do it either.'

Rok Soo frustratingly retorted mentally.

But it would make things complicated if the investigation squad was injured. Thanks to Rok Soo and Cale, it was just a small issue, but if Toonka had hurt the knights of the territory, things would get much bigger. The raven-haired korean could not let that happen because the barbarian had to return to the Whipper Kingdom at the right time.

'Otherwise, I would lose out.'

Amiru then inspected the two with concern and disappointment.

"And why are you two completely drenched like this? Are you two okay? Young Master Cale, you are currently recovering right now, what will you do if you catch a cold?! Young Master Cale! You really!"

'Why me!? Scold Rok Soo too!'

Cale inwardly wanted to cry.

Amiru's words made Paseton and Witira flinch. This was especially true for Witira, who bit down on her lips and inspected the two as well. She recalled how her tail had drenched Rok Soo and Cale earlier, and thought about the expression on the raven-haired korean's face when he had looked up while crouching earlier.

At that moment, Rok Soo started to speak to the three of them. His voice was slow and seemed to be very tired.

"Isn't it fine since nobody got hurt?"
