TBOAH React To Traveler Cale

The Outlanders Who Caught The Wind (4)

"Is that some sort of distraction or something?" Bud just watched incredulously at the dancing doll onscreen along with majority of the audience.

Cage wondered if it's similar to the single-use doll that she would sometimes use that was powered by god.

"Aw, it looks like her." Litana giggled and cooed at the dolls uncanny similar to its owner.

[The Hilichurl that was closest to the it curiously approached the dancing doll.

Behind the bushes, Amber readied her bow and pointed her arrow.

The Hilichurl tapped the doll a few times and watched in confusion as it seemed to glow.

*BOOM*]

Most of the noncombatants of audience yelped in surprise at the sudden explosive sound. Some laughed at the poor hilichurl that got bombed while others was a bit bewildered by Amber putting an explosive inside a stuffed toy.

Unfortunately, Basen violently flinched at the explosion, instantly giving him flashbacks of the bloody incident at the capital. Although he was able to maintain his stoic face, his short, quick breaths and trembling form were a dead giveaway of what he is currently feeling. Lily embraced her brother tightly, having seen this state several times since the incident. Cale also watched them with a frown.

This same goes for many of the nobles that were present at the plaza at the time. They were not looking forward to more explosions in the viewing.

[The tip of Amber's arrow suddenly bursts into flames as she shot it at the panicking Hilichurls, successfully hitting one. Cale and Lumine immediately charged in and fought the Hilichurls, who had noticed their presence and quickly moved to attack the travelers.

Lumine elegantly swung her sword and despite her petite frame, her attacks were powerful enough that a few strikes was able to send them flying.

With the same grace and elegance as the blonde, Cale skillfully disarmed the weapons of the Hilichurls with ease. A burst of wind bursts from his feet and Cale backflips into the air and plunges his spear into the ground, creating a strong shockwave that sent the Hilichurls flying.]

Bud whistled, "Damn, you two got style."

Pelia, Vice General of the Anti-Mage faction and a spearmaster, while uncomfortable at the use of magic, still watched in approval at Cale's spearmanship, "He's incredibly skilled for his age. There's some slight mistakes here and there but it's so subtle that even most professional wouldn't have noticed it. No doubt, he'll become a spearmaster in no time. But since this is in the past, maybe he already is."

At the sight of Lumine and Cale's battle prowess, Toonka grinned crazily, "Kahaha! You're strong! Fight me!"

No one was sure if he was talking to Cale or Lumine or both but the two travelers just shrugged, that Toonka guy was clearly a battle maniac.

Those of the Henituse county and many Roan nobles looked shocked at the Cale's display of skill that would be on the same level as professionals. Wasn't it said that the trash had skipped his lessons and training many years ago? Even if he had been in Teyvat for a while, there was no way he could achieve this level of skill when it takes most people many years to master. So how could he be so skilled?

(The reason was simple, Lumine was just a better teacher than any of Cale's previous tutors.)

[After a few more minutes, they finally defeated all the Hilichurls.

"Heh, nothing to it." Amber said proudly, "Though I've gotta say, you surprised me a little with your moves there... Thanks for the backup. How'd it feel?"
