Chapter 11: Night Of Shadows

At the dorm. 10:30pm. Mya, Quinn and Harbin are sitting in the main room. Harbin is reading a book, Mya is scrolling on her phone, and Quinn is writing in a notebook.

Harbin: Where's that Cethin guy?

Quinn: The one from last night?

Harbin: Yeah. He said he'd move in here tonight.

Mya: Well, night certainly isn't over. He still has time.

Harbin: Do you think his skills will help us?

Quinn: Anything is better than nothing. Also, he was able to unlock his mastery by himself. That is extremely impressive. It means he's a fast learner and won't need to catch up with us.

Mya: Lycoris on the other hand...

Quinn: He will catch up. The sword I gave him last night is proving useful. He was able to stab Anemone.

Mya: But he doesn't know how to use it.

Quinn: Then I'll teach him.

Mya: Do YOU even know how to use a sword?

Quinn: ...

Mya: Didn't think so.

Harbin: I could try to teach him.

Mya: No offence Harbin, but you specialise in guns and stuff. Not exactly swords.

Harbin: That's fair.

Quinn: What about you Mya?

Mya: I'm ashamed to say that I have no knowledge about anything of the sort.

Quinn: So I guess that means he'll have to learn by himself.

Mya: Will he be able to?

Harbin: I believe he can.

Quinn: So do I.

Mya: So we're all in agreement.

Quinn: I guess so.

Mya: What made you choose a katana?

Quinn: I thought it suited his body type and personality. You ever seen in samurai movies when they unsheathe the sword and slice something without moving it?

Mya: Yeah.

Quinn: They do it kind of emotionlessly. It reminds me of Lycoris.

Harbin: I see that.

Mya: Makes sense.

Quinn: You know, I don't know how much I trust Cethin's fighting skills.

Mya: None of us have really seen how he fights. But he was able to hold his own against Anemone.

Harbin: We gotta give him a chance.

Quinn: I know but-

Mya: You didn't say the same about Lycoris.

Quinn: ...

Harbin: Why are you being a hater?

Quinn: I'm not. I'm just concerned about his safety.

Mya: He unlocked his mastery by himself. I think he'll be fine.

Quinn: Okay. I'll trust him.

Harbin: If you're concerned, why don't you make Lycoris and Cethin work together? Send them out on their own tonight.

Quinn: Wouldn't that just put them in more danger?

Harbin: Cethin seems to be fine by himself since he's not dead yet. Plus, I could use a break.
