"Kah!! Fine!!" Despite his hesitation, Isamu agrees in the end as he clutches the fur on his head. "The Guild might not be happy about this, but if that"s what it takes to save the people, then so be it."
"Thank you, Isamu," Gray said with appreciation.
"Heh, I"m not so much of a Champion if I don"t even attempt to save the people in need, right?" Isamu answers, demeanor changing with a glee.
As both of them finally agree with executing the plan, Isamu questions Gray as he cracks his fists.
After all, it is a crucial part of their scheme.
"So, you want me to attack you until your health is low enough, right?"
"Y-yeah." Truthfully told, Gray is trembling nervously, seeing how muscular the Cat-folk"s arms. "Go easy on me, please."
"I"ll try." Isamu chuckled playfully as the beating commenced.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Bandit Encampment, the pair of Bandit guards are seen to be leisurely chatting with one another, not even taking their lookout duties seriously as shown by their carefree expressions.
"Ah, that wench that we kidnap a month ago sure had a fine a.s.s, haha!!" One of the guards laughed perversely as the other nodded in agreement with the same expression.
"Hehe, you got that right. At first, she was all like, "Oh, please stop" to "Ah!! Ah!!", moaning like the pathetic wh.o.r.e as we ravage her over and over again." His partner answered, imitating the said expressions mockingly.
As they are about to continue their debased talk, both of the guards suddenly notice someone heading into their direction.
Looking closer, it was a man dressed like the both of them, clad in the usual fur armor with a headgear of the same material covering most of his head, including the sides. The lower portion of his face is obscured with a bandana as well. Overall, they simply paid no particular mind on the man, thinking that he was just one of their fellow outlaws scouting outside the premise of the Encampment or maybe someone coming back from ambus.h.i.+ng unfortunate travelers in the road for their gold.
But upon closer inspection, the two Bandits widen their eyes with utmost surprise at seeing the state of the newcomer.
"What in the 7 h.e.l.las happened to you, mate?!!"
Indeed, their reactions are justified as they saw the man wounded, with blood, bruises, and cuts all over his body.
"W-warriors from the Guild in Chadena cornered us nearby the outskirts of the forest." The injured "Bandit" answers as he struggles to maintain standing up due to the pain. "All of them are Level 23. We were vastly outnumbered, 15 to 4. The others were not able to survive the battle and I was lucky enough to escape before they were able to finish me off."

"W-what!?" One of the Bandit guards was shocked as both of them had their mouth agape by his statement. "And you said that they are nearby? f.u.c.k, the Boss must know about this!!"
"Uh, you should probably tend to your injuries first." The other guard spoke to the man with concern. "Come on in."
The Bandit guards then led their injured comrade inside the Encampment, comprising of 9 canopy tents, 4 at each side with a bigger one located at the front, most likely where the Bandit Boss resides.
"Head to the supply camp over there and get some Health potion from old man Jimmy to fix yourself up, mate. You look like a horrifying mess." The Bandit tells the man as he pointed at a tent nearby.
The man simply nods in appreciation as he did so.
Inside the supply tent, he was greeted by the Bandit Quartermaster who upon seeing him could not help but be astonished by the man"s b.l.o.o.d.y appearance.

"Do yourself a G.o.dd.a.m.n favor and drink this health potion." The old Bandit, presumably Jimmy who was mentioned earlier, said with disgust as he handed the said concoction. "And what the h.e.l.l happened to you, lad?"
The man told him the same thing he said to the Bandit guards earlier, garnering the same reaction from the Quartermaster.
The man turns behind as he pulls his bandana down a bit to chug down the potion for his injuries to be cured.
Now feeling rejuvenated, the man walks out of the tent with a smile gracing behind his bandana as the first phase of the plan is a success.
"Thank goodness that I was able to pa.s.s the Speech Check." The man thought with utter relief as his eyes wander all over the Encampment. "The inside my is truly a miraculous wonder. G.o.dly items sure are amazing."Now being inside of the Bandit Encampment, Gray Allister, disguised as a Bandit, begins the next phase of the plan inside, hoping that everything will go smoothly according to order.
In his endeavors, he was able to unlock a new skill the moment he donned the Fur Armor set earlier ago when he was together with Isamu.
