"Hadn't you already started shooting!?"
Shido shouted back. This Wizard had to have something wrong with his head.
Still, Shido couldn't just stand there. How would that be any different from being a sitting duck?
As the two Wizards kept firing at him, Shido kept dodging.

Miku, meanwhile, sighed in disappointment.
"And here I thought
