The Contract Beneath the Eternal Moon

"From your appearance..."
"You're merely a human child of around ten years old."
There was a brief pause.
Then the mysterious woman continued with unmistakable curiosity.
"The swordsmanship you've displayed..."
"...doesn't belong to this world."
"Did you create that style yourself?"
"And your magical talent..."
"It is exceptional."
"So much power..."
"At such a young age."
Her laughter carried a hint of admiration.
"Tell me..."
"Are you one of those so-called geniuses?"
Young Eddy remained completely silent.

He slowly adjusted his stance.
His grip around the longsword tightened.
His senses sharpened to their limit.
Victor could feel every instinct inside the boy screaming the same warning.
Someone is nearby...
But where?
He couldn't sense a presence.
Couldn't hear footsteps.
Couldn't detect even the slightest fluctuation of mana.
Is it because I'm exhausted...?
