Ryan glanced at the chains floating around her before looking toward her storage ring. A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Looks like I found the right person."
Leah said nothing, merely taking a fighting stance.
"I have the second badge," Ryan said directly. "You have the first. We can cooperate for a while."
Leah frowned slightly.
"Why?"
"Because the location of the third badge has already attracted too many people, and I don't want to spend the remaining time fighting someone every few minutes."
Ryan sheathed his longsword.
"I doubt you want that either."
Leah furrowed her brows.
The proposal was indeed tempting.
Having two badges in the same team would give them greater control over the competition that followed. Even if they ultimately failed to protect both badges, they could at least avoid being defeated individually by other students.
But the problem was that she did not know Ryan very well.
And she had no idea whether he was genuinely willing to cooperate.
