Chapter: 13
"You want to learn how to move fast?"
The scene unfolds in a shabby, rundown district on the outskirts of town.
Hanbit, seeking out a thieves' den in the slums, came face to face with a young, blond-haired girl.
[Lia]
Lia the pickpocket.
A name quite infamous in the back alleys of Edlen.
Not just a common thief, she fancied herself something of a Robin Hood.
"Hmm."
Brushing off her shorts as she got up, she eyed Hanbit from head to toe.
In that instant...
Whoosh-!
With a sudden gust of wind, Lia vanished into thin air.
Thud-!
"Too slow."
Reappearing before Hanbit's eyes, Lia held a small pouch in her hand.
"That'll be 5,000 gold for the lesson. Pretty cheap, right?"
[You have lost 5,000 gold.]
Just as the system message indicated, 5,000 gold disappeared from his inventory.
This all-too-familiar scene brings back a flood of old memories.
"What? No reaction?"
"You said it was for the lesson, right? And you're actually going to teach me?"
"...Of course. I don't lie," Lia replied, pouting her lips.
Stuffing the money into her bag, she turned her back.
"First, try to catch me. You can use any means necessary, but if you can't catch me, it's void, okay?"
Thud-!
With those words, the girl disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A message immediately popped up.
Ding-!
[Quest]
Lia, who promised to teach you a skill, has run away.
