Kaelen had been right in front of him.
"…!"
"What?!"
Damien barely registered the movement as the first-year charged, sword raised high and a strange aura blazing along its edge.
"Crowned Technique: Splitting Waterfall"
SHING!
The attack came in a single, devastating slash.
A crescent of raw energy tore through the air, its arc wide enough to cleave through the entire second-year line.
Damien twisted violently but the blade of mana just grazed his side.
But behind him, the rest of his team wasn't so lucky.
"UGHHH!"
Groans erupted from the second-years as they staggered under the force of the attack.
The impact ripped through their ranks, breaking their momentum and leaving them momentarily stunned.
It was all the opening the first-years needed.
"CHARGE!" Kaelen shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos like a battle cry.
The remaining first-years surged forward seizing their advantage without a single thought.
