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.
