Evan largely agreed with the Barracuda Captain's words.
Although an Extraordinary Knight's physique was not quite impervious to blades and bullets, their reaction speed and agility far surpassed those of ordinary people, allowing them to dodge the instant a gunman turned the muzzle toward them.
If the two were within ten meters of each other, they could even cross the distance and kill the musket master before he pulled the trigger. Someone with an agility specialty like Evan could already do that at the Peak Apprentice level.

Thud—
The Barracuda Captain collapsed as though his bones had been
