Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

The fact that he came up with this reason only shows that he doesn't understand Tomat well enough, or that he values ​​himself too much and thinks he deserves to be ridiculed by others.

"Didn't I say? They dare to do this because they have reasons to support it—maybe they are more confident in their reasoning and stance, and they don't suffer losses when facing your rules."

Tomat approached Charne.

Meanwhile, in a building not far away, a sharp glint of light flashed from a dark window.

"But my reasons for getting involved are different from theirs..."

"brush!"

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

A silver beam of light drew a straight line, connecting the window with Tomat's head.

The white-clad Kuranta assassin, who was hiding in the building to protect the spokesperson, slightly lowered the string of his longbow.

—But it was quickly set up again.

Because the body that should have fallen was still standing, and the arrow was still stuck in the target's head.

No, it didn't "hit".

It's been bitten.

"Pah, is the arrow poisoned?"

Tomat spat out the arrow from his mouth in front of the terrified Charne.

Instead of looking at the direction from which the attack came, he continued speaking slowly and deliberately to Charne.

Do you want to know what that 'reason' is?

Charn has not yet received a reply.

But he understood some of the principles.

For some people, when they take certain actions, especially unreasonable or highly controversial ones, they often need some reason, which could be justice or reason, or as the saying goes, "a just cause for action," which is self-evident.

Whether it's a mob of rioters or a benevolent charitable organization.

From small villages to large countries, they all need similar things to support certain actions.

The previous integration movement, under the banner of liberating the infected, carried out acts of vandalism, looting, and arson, claiming it was to vent their anger at injustice.

The current Kazimierz would say that he condones the violations in the Knights' Games for economic reasons, claiming that it is for economic gain.

But some people don't need it.

For the former, things like "reasons" exist to reduce resistance to action, gain support, and mitigate the consequences of action.

So what are Charn's reasons for being interested in Rhodes Island, enough to allow it to challenge Casimir?

But Charlene also realized that the man in front of her might not be doing certain unreasonable things because there was any sufficient reason or morality to protect him.

This guy is simply not afraid of the so-called "consequences".

For Tomat, having a reason for doing things is also necessary.

Regularly checking whether his actions are reasonable or his stance, and considering the consequences of his actions, helps him maintain his rationality and prevents him from becoming obsessed with the extraordinary power he already possesses—the cautious environment he was in before also made him understand the benefits of doing so.

Tomat, who still maintains this way of behaving, has long regarded it as a form of "restraint" that shows he still possesses humanity.

But this does not mean that he has forgotten that he still has the privilege of "ignoring the consequences".

This is the unquestionable power that comes with strength.

Once he wants to exercise this right, reason, morality, and stance will not become constraints.

Just like Talulah's "persuasion" to him before Chernobog was destroyed.

What can stop him from exercising this unreasonable privilege is never something that falls under the rules and concepts of ordinary people—only a stronger force can stop him.

He came to the arena to exercise this right, and he would ruthlessly crush any obstacles that Bardock's actions had brought upon him.

As for the reasoning... let the professors explain it.

The retreat of the knights was a wise choice; they didn't have to lift a finger, the knights wouldn't get hurt, and the deterrent effect was still achieved.

The one left must be the guy who dared to launch a sneak attack on me.

Tomat looked toward the location where the attack had come from.

The building had a lot of atmosphere; it looked like an ordinary residential building.

"Humph..."

Thomas scoffed because he couldn't blow up the building from this distance—so he decided to try it out himself.

He turned around, his center of gravity slightly lowered.

This was the prelude to his leap.

Even at that distance, Tomat's movements seemed to have been detected by the attacker.

The sharp light shot towards his location once again.

The silver arrows formed a straight line in the air.

This is a unique skill that only archers in ancient Kazimierz could master.

One arrow will pierce through the fletching of another.

As soon as it hits the opponent, the next shot will follow immediately.

"...!?"

But before dozens of sharp rays could hit their target, and while they were still traveling through the air, the barrage of arrows came to an abrupt halt due to the archer's surprise.

Tomat's figure came into view.

He leaped nearly halfway across the distance, using the arrow in mid-air as a springboard.

Then, seeing that no more footholds were being provided, he struggled to step onto the last arrow.

The sturdy arrow shaft was not made of wood, a material commonly used by the ancients, but of the latest carbon polymer—yet it broke apart by force.

It was not stepped on and deviated from the trajectory, but disconnected on the spot.

Either it used an amazing skill that even the legendary masters of lightness skill in Yan Kingdom might not possess, or... it simply applied an even more terrifying force in an instant.

When this chilling scene came into view, even the archer, who had survived countless assassination attempts, did the most unthinkable reaction of an assassin.

She was stunned.

A skilled assassin, in addition to meticulously planning their activities, also needs sufficient emergency response capabilities, since things don't always go as planned.

Being exposed or getting close to someone is no big deal.

What stunned her and rendered her unable to act for a moment was the "dead end" based on the current situation.

—A direct confrontation? It's clear that the difference in strength is too great. He used his mouth to bite down on the heavy-weight arrow imbued with Originium Arts.

—Preparing to escape? If they can do that, how could they be slow?

"Ugh... what a hassle. I should have just gone to the Sami countryside for a holiday..."

When thinking about these things, there were no major emotional fluctuations, and even the expression was very calm.

Because she knew that once she realized she was in a daze, there was little need to continue with any other actions.

The enemy has already attacked.

A sudden impact came as Tomat burst into the room through the window, his hand pressed against the point where their collarbones met, before he was grabbed by the collar and roughly lifted up.

Tomat recognized the attacker's face.

She was a Kuranta girl with snow-white fur and long, flowing hair.

Although she was wearing custom-made combat clothing, it seemed a bit thin overall, with her lower abdomen exposed, showing off her beautiful curves. Underneath the white combat cloak, she was only wearing a black leather bra, as if she was deliberately trying to distract the enemy.

When she was pulled up by the collar, it almost made what was hidden underneath slip out.

Heavy and swift, even without contact with skin or direct impact, the Kuranta girl felt an immense sense of oppression.

She maintained a calm expression, looking at Tomat with icy eyes, her hands on his wrists to prevent herself from sliding down due to the height difference—this would alleviate some of the pain and also prevent her clothes from being torn off by too much movement.

Murdered?

Having killed so many people, it's not surprising that this day has come.

However, I don't want to die in such an undignified state.

The man before me stared straight ahead, his eyes devoid of any superfluous emotion; he must be a seasoned executioner.

Hopefully, aside from killing, he didn't have any other common male instincts. However, even dying "dignified" seems too extravagant for a killer.

The girl's longing ended in an instant.

Now, it's time to start struggling when the gap is so significant.

Archers cannot only fight from a distance; they should use the strength to draw a heavy bow and slash at the enemy when they are close enough. Even though the girl looks frail, she can still do the same thing.

Using Tomat's arms as a fulcrum, she suddenly raised her leg, her slender yet powerful Kuranta leg, and kicked heavily towards the side of Tomat's head.

Inside the pristine white high-heeled boots, nimble toes pressed a mechanism on the inside, and a sharp blade instantly sprang out from the toe.

At least let go of her hand!

Even if it's just a single slash, the girl will use her sword to unleash a full-force strike on the man before her.

"clang!!!!!"

However, a sharp pain shot through the girl's delicate foot with a crisp sound.

It was as if, after taking a shower at home, you were casually walking to the bed and accidentally bumped your toe on the corner.

She looked at the spot where she had kicked. Tomat hadn't moved an inch, and the blade had snapped, flying off against the wall.

As for the cause of the foot pain... there's no need to elaborate.

The temples are clearly the most vulnerable part of the head; at least get a minor cut!
