A Tomboy’s Hero

"Monique..." Levi reacted swiftly. He stretched out his arms and seized her as she slipped. He managed to prevent her from falling onto the ground. However, he had exerted too much force and together with Monique’s weight; it caused her to fall back towards him. He instinctively wanted to dodge, but if he did, Monique would fall onto the rocks and would be severely injured. Without time to consider his options, he did not budge and Monique fell on top of him. His back hit against the hard rock. The moment Monique fell on top of him, he groaned in pain. Monique regained her senses quickly and got up immediately. She asked anxiously, "Levi, did I hurt you? He experienced a burning sensation of pain, most likely he was injured. However, he acted as if nothing had happened and chuckled. "Monique, who do you think you are? Do you seriously think you can hurt me?" Judging from his expression, nothing seemed wrong, but she had put all her weight on him when she fell. Was he really all right?
