Renjii's Confidence

[Mio and Renjii's POV]

"Looks like Roy got started." Renjii says

"You take those big 2 guys and I will take care of this guy." Mio says while pointing at the bandits.

"Wait a minute, isn't it better if we fight all of them together, rather than fighting them separately?" Renjii says to Mio

"Why? Are you scared of taking on two guys alone? Are you a coward or something? You can't even fight two weak bandits?" Mio says with a mocking tone

"What?! You think I am a coward? Me? A coward?! HAHAH-"

"I was saying it so that you don't have to fight that strong-looking guy and we could take them on together." Renjii says

'What the hell happened to him? I thought he was a cheerful boy…' Shira thinks observing him.

"Oh? Is that so? Are you sure you aren't just scared of fighting two people alone?" Mio says with a smug face

"What!! Ok, now you have done it. Now I am going to fight all of them alone, you just stand back and watch while I beat all of them to pulps."

"Hey! Don't try to act all cool and strong. You can't take all of them alone, let me help. And I was just kidding with you." Mio says

"No, now it's a matter of my pride so I have to prove myself. So you just stand back and watch." Renjii says

"Ok whatever you say. I am pretty sure you will just get your ass kicked by them." Mio says

Then Renjii takes out his daggers and floats his dagger in the air using his telekinesis power and prepares for the fight.

'Oh shit! I acted all cool and strong but in reality, I am scared as fuck. And now I can't even ask Mio for help. Man, what I am going to do now?!' Renjii thinks in his mind

'I am pretty sure he is scared. He can't fight them all on his own. He will just come back and ask for my help' Mio thinks

'Ok, I think I now know what I have to do! I have to know their abilities before doing anything.' Renjii thinks

Before the bandits notices Renjii he hides in a bush.

After that Renjii throws his daggers at the bandits. At first the bandit doesn't understand what's going on. So, one of them get's a scratch on his cheek from it and the others dodges it.

"What?! Who is attacking? Come Out!"

"Hey, do the people from camp know that we are here?"

"Yeah, that's what it looks like. I think we should all escape."

"But how are we going to do that? Only one of us is an ability user and the other two only knows body strengthening"

The bandits talk with each other.

And from the bushes, Renjii hears all of it.

'Hehe- looks like only one of them is a mage and the other two are just normal peoples. Now I can easily defeat them and prove to Mio that I am not a coward.' Renjii thinks while smiling

Then Renjii gets up from hiding and throws his dagger at the bandits with no ability.

"Look out!" One of the bandits screams but it was too late.

They get hurt by it but they immediately react by strengthening their body. But Renjii's dagger still hurts them and they become unable to move.

Renjii's daggers are poisoned daggers. Just a little scratch can poison anyone!

After taking down two of the bandits, Renjii gets too confident and he comes out of hiding, thinking he can take care of the last one without any trouble.

But then all of a sudden the last bandit throws a poison bomb at Renjii!

Mio sees it and runs at the scene and binds the bandit using her sand magic, and knocks him out.

"Are you fine?" Mio asks Renjii

"Yeah…" Renjii says in a low tone

"I told you not to attack alone." Mio says

"…Sorry…" Renjii says

"It's fine." Mio says

'Looks like Renjii is back to being his old self.' Shira thinks while looking at them.

"Let's go back to the tents." Mio says to Renjii

After going to the tents,

"Thank you so much for the help." The merchant says to them

"It's our job to protect you…" Roy says back to the merchant with a neutral face

"HAHA- But still thanks." The merchant laughs and says

"It's no big deal." Shira says to the merchant

"You didn't even contribute in the fight." Mio says to Shira.

Shira then hits her head."Ouch. Why did you hit me?!" Mio screams

Shira hits her head again and says, "Shut up!"

"Hahaha, you guys get along really well." The merchant comments seeing everyone's behavior.

"HUH?!" Mio and Roy expresses

"Go and get some rest, it's still midnight." Shira says

"Yes, I will." The merchant says and goes back inside the tent. Shira's team also does the same.
