Aizawa was on duty for the second time this week. He was put on the sidelines to guard the forest opposite the King’s palace.

He had absentminded been playing with the loose thread to his capture scarf that he had yet to ask the maid to fix. “Boring..” He huffed before his eyes shot up in a startled state.

An unfamiliar light had flickered past in his peripheral vision. And he knew exactly what it was. He tightened his grip on his sword and stared into the darkness.
