Bandits. Two years ago, the village was shocked by the information from the merchant about bandits. And now, a troop of bandits are attacking the village where Leon is living.

"RUN! BANDITS ARE COMING!"

After being trained in a mountain full of beasts for a year, Leon has the ability to make a decision calmly and quickly. He quickly ran towards his house to find his family. He determined that the bandits are at attacking from the north of the village first since the villagers are running towards the south. 

*sobs* *sobs*

"My, my, what is a little girl like you doing here?"

In front of a house, a little girl is crying because of the chaos. Suddenly, a man appeared in front of her with a lecherous smile on his face. The girl was frightened after seeing the man.

"Why don't you come with me and serve to please me?"

[Ed: Oh damn, even I shivered.]

As the man was about to grab the girl, a boy appeared from behind of the man and did high roundhouse kick hitting precisely on the lower jaw. The man who was taken off guard fell unconscious after landing on the ground a few meters from the girl. The girl was shocked by the sudden change stared at the boy. The boy was of course Leon who went to save her after seeing a bandit targeting her.

"Hurry, get on my back!"

Crouching in front of the girl, he told her to hold on to him so that they can move faster. However, noticing that the girl was still in shocked state, Leon sighed and carried her in his arm. After that, Leon went straight to the direction where his house is at.

Arriving at his house, he saw his mother holding Leila's hand with his father was about to put down a bag on the cart they used before. Leon quickly went to his family to make sure his family is not worried about him. After reuniting with his family, his mother wanted to asked about the girl he is carrying until he said he will explain later. Giving it no mind, they quickly got on the cart. His father then ordered the horse to move fast to the south of the village.

Unfortunately, while they were running for their lives, a wild arrow suddenly came by and pierced the leg of the horse making the cart lose balance and crash to a tree.

"Bandits!"

Leon's father, George, was the first to get out of the cart. Looking around, he saw five bandits armed with spears, knives and a sword sprinting towards them.

"Leon, help them get out of the cart!"

Cursing himself for forgetting to bring weapons from his house, he ordered Leon who was still inside the cart to help the others. At the same time as George called Leon, two bandits armed with knives moved towards him after seeing the opportunity.

*CRACK* *CRACK*

"WAAAAARGH"

"AAAARGH"

The other three bandits was stunned by what George did. He swiftly avoided the knives and then he grabbed the hands of the two bandits. Disarming the knives, he then mercilessly broke the bandit's hands with sheer power of his grip. The bandits immediately fell on their knees while screaming in pain. With sharp eyes, George looked at the other three bandits and said,

[Ed: Them moves!]

"So, who is next?"

While this is happening, Leon already got his mother, Leila and the little girl out of the cart. Although, Leila and the little girl was unconscious after the crash happened. Leon was about to join with his father before his mother stopped him from going by holding his hand.

George leaped off from where he was and appeared next to a bandit wielding a spear. He grabbed the spear with his left hand while making a spear hand with his other hand. And without even the bandit able to get panic, he thrust his hand to the side of the bandit's body, making the bandit unconscious. Not stopping, he continued by sprinting towards the sword-wielding bandit. He stopped right in front of the bandit and did a sucker punch to the stomach. As the bandit was frightened, he was unable to react in time to dodge the attack and crouches on the ground while holding his stomach.

After defeating one bandit after another, George look around to find the last bandit only to see the bandit already ran away. Seeing as the situation is safe, he hit the unconscious bandit's back of the neck to further disable them.

"Here, take it. You might need them later."

As he collect the weapons the bandits had dropped, he gave the sword and two knives to Leon. He kept the spear and a knife to himself to use. After that, they started to move quickly towards the south to rejoin with other escaped villagers. Although they wanted to escape as quick as possible, they kept getting slowed down by bandits who keeps appearing after a few minutes. George and Leon were forced to fight so that they can move on.

Twenty minutes passed but Leon and his family were still in the village fighting the bandits. Killing one bandit after another, a bright glow envelopes Leon and his father. Leon was confused seeing this weird phenomenon for the first time but then calmed down after hearing his father said,

"Oh? Its time already? Haha, no need to be confused, Leon. Your mother can use a bit of support magic."

A few seconds later, he noticed that the fatigue he had been accumulating is gone. He glanced at her mother to her and nods his head. With faint signs of smile on his face, he attacks the bandits while nimbly using the knives.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?"

Another five minute passed, as they were killing another group of bandits, a deep voice but loud enough for them to hear was heard from a distance. Hearing this voice, the bandits, George and Leon stopped in their tracks. Turning their head towards the direction, Leon saw a man holding a sword dripping with blood standing around 20 meters from them.

"I've been wondering why my comrades came to me asking for help. Turns out its because of this little family trying to escape from Blood Drip Bandits. You should know that it's fairly impossible now."

Observing the situation, the man calmly said after landing his eyes on Leon's family.

"Well then, since they killed a lot of ours, we need to return the favor, don't we?"

Saying that, group of bandits appeared one after another behind the man until the bandits numbered more than hundred.

"Leon, you must take your sister and that girl to run to the south as fast as you can! You must live!"

At the same time as the bandits appears, George whispered Leon what he need to do. Noticing what his father meant, Leon quickly replied,

"W-wait, I'm fighti-"

"No, Leon. If you die, we will die in vain. I'm staying to help your father...Please, protect yourself and Leila."

As he was about to object, suddenly, his mother hold him and said to him. Wanting to protect his parent's wish, he carried the little girl on his back and hold the hand of his now conscious little sister. And then, he ran towards the south ignoring the dangers behind.

"How tearful, letting your child escape. Since we couldn't get them, we will take your wife for ourselves"

"How despicable! I'd rather, no, I will kill myself after my husband die!"

"Heh, I married one scary wife, didn't I?"

"Save for the talks in the afterlife. Now then, what are you idiots staring at? ATTACK!"

Raising his sword to the sky, the man ordered the bandits to attack George and Arianna.

[Ed: Poor Arianna didn't get much character build-up.]
