Anyway, even after saying that, they still looked completely clueless about what he actually meant. Letting out an inward sigh, Ruvian decided to spare everyone, himself included, and explain it properly this time by being direct.
"What I mean is that I'm going to prepare for him if he really comes after me. Best case scenario, I catch his squad off guard and keep them occupied for a day. Worst case, I get eliminated."
He shrugged lightly.
"But regardless of how it plays out… our squad is still in the test. So just let me settle this with him." A faint, humorless smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "Besides, I have a few things I'd like to say to that bastard myself."
The conviction in his voice left little room for argument. They exchanged weary glances before, one by one, letting out quiet sighs of defeat.
"But Ruv—"
As Yerin was about to speak again, Arlok raised a hand to stop her. His gaze stayed fixed on Ruvian, his expression unusually serious.
"Yerin… let him."
