My Magical System

Chapter 19

Presence

Yeman was strolling outside when suddenly, he felt a presence nearby. Because of his perception stats, it wasn’t hard for him to detect a presence within a radius of 70+ metres around him.

He followed the path to where they passed by just a while ago. This path led to the backmost of the rundown buildings. They also passed here just recently.

Seconds later, he leaped towards his right side, where an alleyway was.

After landing in a shade, *Sneak!* Yeman used his stealth skill. While on it, without a second thought, he jumped from wall to wall in a zigzag.

*Thump!* *thump!*

His feet landed on the roof of the building on the left side. His pursuer quickly followed him when he turned at the alleyway.

Woosh!

The person dashed forward and suddenly paused at the alleyway when the person noticed the guy suddenly disappeared from his/her sight. This alleyway is 70-80 meters long from one side to the other.

.....

“Eh, gone? How did he...” The pursuer was shocked. “How did that weak guy manage to cross this alley in an instant?” He/She continued mumbling. “Don’t tell me he noticed that I’m following him?” The pursuer couldn’t believe what had happened.

It was unbelievable for someone like Yeman to cross the 70-80 metres alleyway in just a second. Then the pursuer craned its neck to look up. The wall was quite high, but not impossible to climb. The problem was, it’s unthinkable for Yeman to do it. And he’s weak, so there was no way he could climb it in an instant, no?

Yeman peeked down to see who was his pursuer. He was currently in an invisible mode because of his sneak skill and was looking down from the roof. His eyes meet hers. But he believed she couldn’t see him because in her eyes, there was no reflection of him.

“Mina?” He was quite surprised when he identified the person that was tailing him.

Hmn, why is she following me? I already got permission from Uncle Ronny. But she still went and followed me?

Hah~ he sighed.

I can’t understand this girl’s way of thinking. After thinking that, he turned his head from left to right.

Mina furrowed her brows. The guy she had been following suddenly had gone. She was unaware that the guy was currently looking at her from above and with a smirk on his face.

Finally, he felt like he could rival her speed.

“Better leave now. Who knows what she will do if she finds me,” he mumbled.

Ka-tak! Ka-tak! Ka-tak!

He was about to leave when he noticed another presence.

He closed his eyes to discern more and deepened his understanding.

“Monster!?” His eyes opened suddenly.

He could tell who these presences are from because it’s different from a human’s aura. “What, not just one but... 10 new presences?!”

Yeman exclaimed. “Oh no, their heading to the alleyway!” He quickly opened his eyes. “This is not good!” He grumbled.

Thud!

He landed behind her. Mina jerked her head to look behind her, but before she could do that, something unseeable covered her mouth.

“Mmmh, mmmmh!”

Some muffle sounds were coming from her. She tried to struggle, but another unseeable something hugged her and strangled her arms and body.
