"Get the hell out of the way, kid!"
SPLASH
The moment Adam crossed the city gates, a carriage sped past him. The wheels struck the muddy water pooled in a road cavity, causing it to rise in a brown arc, drops shooting at his stylish coat. His brows twitched, and mana burst out in a barrier. Diamond-shaped patterns glistened on its surface like scales, saving his clothes.
Just as he sighed in relief, the driver's grumbling voice reached him—disrespectful and loud.
"These country bumpkins are all the same. I bet they've never seen a carriage before. That's why they keep crossing streets without looking."
"Really?" Adam pursed his lips, his right hand aiming at the carriage. "Perhaps you almost run them over because you drive like a madman."
Yann gripped Adam's shoulder from behind. "Don't!"
