Against All Odds || Ryeji FF

Chapter 3

While flying above the cities, not knowing where her exact destination is, Yeji seemed to be stuck in deep thoughts.

Suddenly, she felt an arm around her shoulders. "Penny for your thoughts?" An angel with a feminine-voice asked. The cat-eyed angel then turned to her direction.

"Nothing." She then answered, clearly not in the mood to converse with someone. Nevertheless, the angel still stayed by her side, flying along with her even though she doesn't also know where they'll end up.

Yeji's belief in oneself really did vanish. She didn't expect to fight with someone who seemed like an indomitable one.

Continuously flying to nowhere, the two ended up on top of Yeji's bungalow. It's already night time, so the sky is already filled with an ocean of stars.

"Lia, can you please come with me?" The cat-eyed girl pleaded to the angel by her side.

Although impossible, she still asked. Angels must do their missions alone unless it is also given to another angel.

"I would love to help you but I can't." Lia said, patting Yeji's back.

The cat-eyed angel then pouted. "Don't be sad, Yeji. Should we practice your swordsmanship to lessen the heaviness in your heart?" The sloth-faced angel said as she stood up, lending her hand to Yeji.

This made her laugh. "You?" She asked, making Lia withdraw her hand.

Back then when they're still young, Yeji and Chaeryeong would always tease Lia because of how bad she is when handling swords. Her movements are always stiff causing the two to always attack her when they're training with fake swords.

Lia then would tease back that even though she's not good at swordsmanship, she's one of the best in archery while the two aren't.

"Forget it. I'll go now." Lia sulked and pretended to walk away but stopped when Yeji suddenly hugged her from the back. This made shock cross her face.

"I'm just joking! Let's go!" The cat-eyed angel said and let go of her grip to her waist. She then flew and gestured to Lia on where they'll train before completely flying away.

Lia then gulped before coming to her senses. She then shrugged her head and flew to their private training grounds.

Changing into white tracksuits, the two then spent their nights training with wooden swords.

Although Lia would always lose, seeing her friend forget why she's sad earlier makes her feel content.

'At least Yeji rested with a smile.' She thought as she lay flat on the mat, not bothering to go home where she should rest as Yeji also fell asleep in the training grounds after their little training.

The sun gradually rose up to the sky to serve as a blessing to all living things existing. A day has already passed and Yeji already woke up as she just can't let go of the anxiousness she's feeling due to her mission.

Mind you, it's only 6:00 AM in the morning.

Not even bothering to wake Lia up or say goodbye to her other friends, she then decided to teleport to Earth because the more she stays put, the more red dots in her map appear.

The news that was delivered to her by Felix this morning saying that the police have decided to put the city of Jeonju on a lockdown last night didn't help her feel more at ease. The people also agreed to that, for they are also afraid to go out of their homes in fear of getting killed by what they believe is a normal human serial killer.
