Kaelen and Elenore stared in disbelief as Marcel turned back to Damien and Miyuki, unfazed by the destruction he had just caused.
"Let's finish this," Marcel said with quiet confidence, the balance of power shifting unmistakably in their favor.
Marcel surveyed his opponents with a calculating gaze, his confidence unshaken by the earlier setbacks.
He nodded once, decisively.
"Damien, Miyuki," he called, his voice carrying the weight of command.
"Take care of the swordsman. Keep him occupied elsewhere."
The two second-years exchanged brief glances before nodding in unison, understanding Marcel's intent without need for further explanation.
Kaelen tensed as he realized what they were planning. He wouldn't allow them to separate him from Elenore so easily.
But Damien could care less.
With a roar, he charged straight at Kaelen, using his earth element to tank any attack that Kaelen threw and just trailing behind him Miyuki followed suit.
