"Impossible is made possible through the mindset of people and how they pursue it"
THIRD PERSON'S POV
First and Heavien are still here in the forest, looking at the surroundings. The sun was a bit focused on their area, so she was sweating. They are looking for targets, but everyone seems to be cautious that not even a shadow has been seen. They sat on the ground for a moment and rested. As they sat, she looked back at the comics she had written. She tries to remember what the outcome of this stage will be.
Who will be hurt this time? Who will win? Will I die or live?
"You good?" First is concerned about her.
She can view in her peripheral vision that he's looking away.
She nodded, saying yes. "You?"
"There's nothing I could fear when I'm with you."
She just smiled at what he said. "Why are you just calm?"
Of all First's qualities, that's the one she envies the most. By being fearful, she became doubtful. By being doubtful, she lacks confidence. By lacking confidence, she becomes weak.
"If you think negatively, you'll lose your consciousness on how you'll find a way to solve the conflict because you've planted in your brain that you can't. Impossible is made possible through the mindset of people and how they pursue it. "
That hit her. First quoted those seriously while looking at her. He is right. If she instills in her mind that they can do it, they can handle it. First, and she continued talking. He told her about his student life, but only until then. He did not tell his family more information about who he was. She didn't even ask too many questions because she might be rushing into his personal space.
"That was insane, haha!" he is laughing so hard.
"Hahaha!"
They are having fun as if they didn't have a problem.
"Okay, stop for a moment. I think I'm going to puke."
It's fun to talk with him. A serious vibe can be turned into amusement while still in the middle of the game. She doesn't know if this is legal, but this doesn't feel right.
They went silent for a moment as they watched the trees until he spoke again.
"You're curious, right?"
She was distracted by what he said. "Hm?"
"C'mon, there's nothing to be shy about. You're curious about me, right?"
She paused. He really knew what she was thinking. She could see his sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Well, anyone would be," she answered indirectly.
"Really?-"
"But you don't have to tell me. Your life is personal, so I have no right to interfere." She averted her eyes from him.
"You're not anybody, you're somebody."
He really speaks from his heart; it's deep. She didn't speak at first and just looked at him.
"Then I'll tell you..." She didn't say anything either, after all, he volunteered himself. And at least, she didn't force him. "Watch out!"
Heavien was shocked at the noise she heard and at him hugging her.
"Are you okay?"
"Y-Yes, what was that?" She turned to the right, and something exploded. "First, you have a wound," She touched his bleeding right arm.
"S-Sorry," he stammered, and sounded uneasy. He released her from embracing.
Heavien shook the dirt from her clothes after standing up. "You have nothing to be sorry for. Thank you for saving me."
If he hadn't protected her earlier, she might have been wounded too.
"Let's go!" First grabbed her right hand, and they hid in a large tree.
"Who's that?" She is panting.
"I saw them. It was Sectwen and Ninezen. If my eyes serve right, Sectwen has the grenade while Ninezen has a sword." So, it was Nadine and Trake.
First and Trake were armed with the same weapon, which is a sword. She discovered something from what First said earlier.
"Isn't sight your nth sense?" she asked.
"How?" he wondered.
"How did you see that Nadine had a grenade when they were far away from them?"
"Didn't you see them?"
"No"
"Maybe you're right. I'll have myself tested about my nth sense and don't forget yours, so that we can put them to good use."
She nodded in agreement. They need to know their nth sense and when they can use it in battle.
"I think they're following us," First noticed, scrutinizing the surroundings.
She also checked around, but she didn't see anyone except the two of them.
"Why don't you shoot your arrow?" he suggested to her.
"Huh?"
"You're right about my nth sense. I'll direct you to their position, then you'll shoot."
"Huh?!"
"C'mon, we can do this. Remember what I told you, right?"
"Why don't you do it?" She handed him her bow and arrow.
If he shoots the arrow with his enhanced sense of sight, the chances of it being a successful shot are high.
"Okay," he responded.
When First touched her bow, he abruptly let go of it and pulled his hand away.
"Why?" she wonders.
"I was electrocuted."
"What?"
First touched her bow for a second, and his left palm slightly reddened already. "I don't know how or why, but glad I'm still alive."
She thought of a reason why that happened. She promptly took hold of his sword, and she also released it and fell to the ground.
"Ouch! I'm electrified too." She touched her right hand to lessen the pain it had caused her.
He blew on her electrified hand. "Why did you do that?"
"It only means one thing. It is forbidden for another person to hold or use one's own weapon."
