For a moment, everyone went silent. Well, it was already silent since no one could hear the others' voices. But no one said anything anyway. What kind of situation was this? First of all, was there even a need to go through all the regions? Couldn't it have been done from the start if this was going to end with an everyone-for-themselves fight?
The kid watched, enjoying the hesitation on everyone's minds. 'Everyone-for-themselves? Not quite. But who will find the other options first?' he thought.
No one made any sudden movements; instead, they moved slowly, keeping their eyes open to their surroundings. No one wanted to give a reason to become a target. What if you tried to send some kind of signal that only your allies recognize? That would be even more of a suicide action. After all, the only experts with allies at the moment are the chosen. All the rest are alone.
