I came to Newside to level up and to teach those assholes a lesson. That's it!
- Blyke
Summary[]
Without his goons backing him, Lance realizes he can't afford to hold back anymore, and attempts to disorientate Blyke with his Tremor ability at full throttle. Blyke is only momentarily shaken, and takes to the air to close the distance. One blow is enough to down the criminal, and Blyke hushes him by aiming a loaded finger to his temple. Backed into a corner, Lance attempts to downplay his orders to "kill [Blyke]" in hopes to be spared. Blyke has no intention of taking anyone's life, opting instead to shoot Lance's legs. Unable to stand, let alone use his ability, Lance is defeated.
Blyke realizes that his heroic actions were witness by Amora. He goes over to help her up, only to be rebuffed. She suspects that the vigilante had an ulterior motive for doing what he did. Blyke vehemently denies her accusations(though he internalizes a moment of guilt when he recalls he was was primarily motivated to get stronger quickly). His silent moment is enough to convince Amora that he's after compensation, or intending to wrest control for himself. She scornfully states that Lance cleaned out Newside, so there was nothing left to take. Upfront as can be, Blyke states his mission, but Amora remains cynically wary. Unable to reason with the civilian, Blyke decides to leave the injured Lance and his unconscious goons to the city administration.
Blyke hides behind a large rubbish bin and changes out of his vigilante costume. He realizes what a number the fight did on him whwn he coughs up blood. He hopes to make it to Doc the next day before Isen realizes anything fishy. Blyke departs, not noticing a mysterious ponytailed man observing him...
When morning comes, Isen wakes up, and is surprised to see that Blyke is still out like a light. He tries to get his roomie out of bed, only succeeding when he shouts in his ear. Angered by the noise, Blyke intends to skip the first class to catch more sleep. Though Blyke claims that he had trouble sleeping the night before. Initially surprised by Blyke's attitude, the smug Isen is quick to presume that Blyke's sleeplessness was due to a lack of socks
