Shuu's hand yanked the esper back before he could get himself killed. The esper let out a terrified yell as soon as he felt the monster brush past him. But it did not look back to check where its prey had gone.
"A-Are we still alive?"
The esper asked in a terrified voice.
He was only seventeen, but he felt like this whole situation was way out of control. He was an A-class esper, and usually espers near his rank should not have any trouble getting through something like this. But he was too young and inexperienced to handle it all.
"W-We are both going to die. I-I am too young to die. I don't want to die."
The esper whispered as he held his breath. The monsters were too close now, and he swore he could sense their presence drawing even nearer.
"Calm down. Hey, don't panic like this. It will be fine. You just have to trust me."
Shuu reminded the esper, but the more he tried to reassure him, the more he felt the esper shiver.
