-Kazuya's POV-

We are now now running..

Moving our legs as fast as we can..

You can hear the complaints and yells of my 7 other comrades..

"Ren! Why can't you keep your hands to yourself?"

"Ren-nii, I can't run anymore.."

"Ren-chan, the blame on this is all on you, just to let you know.."

"Ren-kun! Stop running ahead of us! Mou, even though you caused this situation!"

"Why can't you just stop them with [Sin Gate] or use [Mass Teleportation] to get us out of here, Ren-niisan?!?"

The 5 people who can still say that with obvious irritation and anger are breathing heavily, while the other two are so out of breath, that they can't even voice a complaint.. to me..

Yes, we are now running from a horde of desert giants..

And I am in the lead, since I have the fastest legs, of course..

"Ah, that smug face of yours is thinking that you have the fastest legs, and it's to be expected of you! Right, you are the fastest alright, the fastest to run away first!"

I swear, this guy can read me like an open book given that we spent all this time together..

My brother, or technically, my foster-brother, Zen..

"Ah, I can't use those skills right now Angela-chan, I just started recovering my magic power from the last battle and those skills cost a lot of mana..With that said, let's just keep running!"

Yes, I realized these few years, that [Sin Gate] wasn't my innate ability..

My hero skill was actually [Space-Time Magic] which is, by my standards, pretty awesome..

I studied it and put it into practical application and found out that I can make new skills related to it endlessly if I can just understand the basic principle and theory of the skill, which was not hard, since I learned about it in school..

Well, since we can't fight in this situation since that incident, I'll reminisce a bit while escaping..

"Ah, he's showing a blank stare again.. Why do you daydream at a time like this?"

The angry voice of youth doesn't reach the me who's looking into empty space..

After we survived that wolf attack, I discovered my skill [Sin Gate] which was a unique skill that could access the legendary swords which were used by the 7 Dragon Kings that ruled the continent long ago..

Naturally, I didn't tell anyone else about this but I did use them under the guise of a skill I developed, I shared my power with each of them, each one holding one [Sin Sword] which holds immense power sealed within..

So when I gave them those weapons, they were happy that they could finally protect each other but, at first, they couldn't even wield the swords properly..

So while traveling through the wastelands of the demon continent, I trained them in swordsmanship..

Which was strange for me since I thought I knew next to nothing about the proper way of swinging a sword..

But to my surprise, I could move as natural as breathing..

And naturally, I applied this to my teachings and through the course of one year, they were able to master them..

They said it was all thanks to me training them but I disagree, it was they, themselves who were working hard in order to learn them even a second faster, I even caught them training in the middle of the night..
