Chiara - Nelo Everything happened so fast. Before I can properly process what just happened, a resounding "clicking" noises came from behind me. Firearms clicking noises. When was the entrance gate reopened? The sky has long darkened. How long was I here?

A couple of synchronized firing sounds quickly ended my thoughts. Not even a warning? Instinctively, I raised my arms in a defensive pose, but- what came is not bullet rounds, but smoke grenade shells. The grenades all detonated without a sound, and in an instant, my field of vision became blurred with the thick dark-bluish smoke. No wonder Araya didn't bother with any security in Chiara. From its zero response time, to its well executed assault, no one could ever escape crossing Chiara in its native soil.

Good thing I have a mask on to filter out the smoke but- These smokes aren't normal- apart from its cold temperature, it too dense. It's coating on me and weighting me down. No, it's something worse- it's clotting the mana circulation in my clothing and rapidly sapping my body heat.

Godamnit, I don't even know which way's front, and which way's back. From the thick smokes, an aggressive voice rang out: "Alert! You are under the effect of A3 bombs. Come out with your arms raised and we will not commence assault!" Assault? You already fired a volley of smoke bombs.
