"I see you're getting serious now," Jett said with a smirk as Behan rushed toward him, faster and stronger than before. Her transformation had sharpened her senses, every movement precise and deadly. Her claws swiped with incredible speed, leaving faint streaks of light in the air as she attacked relentlessly.
The students watching from the stands were impressed. "She's actually not that bad," someone murmured, noticing how Behan's enhanced abilities made her a far more dangerous opponent. Her agility, power, and relentless strikes kept Jett on his toes, forcing him to focus.
Meanwhile, Orpa saw his chance to join the attack. He raised his bow and fired a few arrows, his skills sharper than ever.
[Snipe]
[Phase Shot], Orpa called out as the arrows whizzed toward Behan. But just before impact, they phased through her, a clever trick to divide Jett's attention.
"What the..." Jett was caught off guard as the arrows passed through Behan and headed straight for him. He dodged to the side, but Behan wasn't letting up, her claws still slashing at him with fierce precision. She was like a whirlwind of attacks, and now he had to deal with her and Orpa's arrows at the same time.
"I'm not done yet!" Orpa yelled, firing more arrows.
[Explode], he whispered, and the arrows detonated just as they neared Jett's face. He tried a quick backward dodge to avoid the blast, but his escape route was cut off.
[Shield Toss] Gleen shouted, hurling his shield with pinpoint accuracy. It spun through the air toward Jett, but as it approached, Gleen maneuvered it behind Jett, boxing him in with no room to retreat.
"Really?" Jett muttered, his tone slightly annoyed but clearly enjoying himself. His smirk remained as he adjusted his stance, using the momentum of the incoming shield and his own agility to perform an acrobatic maneuver. With a graceful leap, he flipped off the shield, launching himself into the air with stunning speed and finesse.
The crowd gasped in surprise.
"Are magic swordsmen usually that flexible?" Rosa asked, her eyes wide as she watched Jett's effortless moves.
"That's definitely just him," Aiden replied, still focused on the fight, appreciating the skill Jett was showing.
"What is he doing?" Seraphina whined, folding her arms. "We all know he could've ended this whole thing in an instant."
Jett, still airborne, took a moment to look down at the group beneath him, his smirk widening. He was having fun, drawing out the fight to enjoy it, testing his opponents and their teamwork. Despite their best efforts, it was clear that he was holding back, letting them come at him with everything they had, only to toy with them.
As he landed gracefully on the arena floor, his eyes locked onto Behan once more. "Alright, let's kick it up a notch."
As Jett landed, his eyes gleamed with excitement. He cracked his knuckles, the smirk on his face unfazed by the onslaught of attacks. "Alright, let's kick it up a notch."
Behan, still in her transformed state, growled as she darted toward him again, faster and more feral than ever. Her claws slashed at Jett, but this time, there was a different intensity in her movements. She wasn't just aiming to land a hit, she was trying to overwhelm him completely.
Jett deftly dodged her attacks, stepping and weaving through the storm of blows. Behan's claws scraped the air where Jett had been only a moment before, but each time, he sidestepped her strikes with effortless precision. His movements were fluid, almost like he was dancing around her attacks.
Then, just as he landed from another dodge, Gleen took his chance. [Shield Rush] he shouted, charging forward with his shield raised like a battering ram. The shield gleamed with power as it barreled toward Jett, aiming to catch him off guard. Chapter Enjoy:
Jett's expression didn't change. He saw the shield coming and leapt into the air again, flipping gracefully over Gleen's charge. He spun mid-air and landed behind him with ease, turning around just in time to see Behan coming at him once more. Her claws were a blur as she executed her [Raging Claws] attack, a flurry of slashes aimed to cut him down.
"You're still too slow," Jett said coolly.
He ducked under her attack, then grabbed her wrist with one hand. Behan's eyes widened as she felt his grip tighten. In one smooth motion, Jett spun her around and used her own momentum against her. He swung her like a rag doll, hurling her straight into Orpa's path.
The elf barely had time to react before Behan's body collided with him, sending both of them crashing to the ground in a heap. Gleen turned just in time to see his teammates fall, but Jett was already moving.
Before Gleen could raise his shield again, Jett was in front of him, closing the gap with frightening speed. [Shield Block] Gleen cried, bracing for impact, but Jett didn't attack directly. Instead, he spun to Gleen's side, sweeping his legs out from under him.
Gleen hit the ground hard, his shield clattering to the side. Jett stood over him, offering a casual smile. "You should've been more careful."
The arena fell silent for a moment, the spectators staring in disbelief. Jett had taken on all three of them without breaking a sweat. Despite the fierce attacks and strategies they threw at him, he remained in control the entire time.
"Has he even used a single skill yet?" someone from the stands whispered in awe.
"You're strong, I'll give you that much," Behan struggled to say as she tried to get back on her feet, her body trembling from exhaustion.
Gleen, not willing to give up, quickly activated [Heal Blessing], a soft glow emanating from his hands as he healed Behan's injuries. "[Quick Heal]," he added, boosting the recovery process. Behan gasped as the energy flowed through her, revitalizing her enough to stand again, though she was still clearly worn out.
"[Feline Transformation]," Behan growled, her body shimmering as she entered an even more ferocious state. Her muscles bulged, her eyes glowing with a fierce yellow light. "Get ready. We won't be holding back from this point on."
Jett just chuckled. "I see you're getting serious now. But you guys really need to work on teamwork especially when you get an additional member.
