Field Trip [6]

"…"

Ailza was starting to get tired. Trading blows with Yuna was incredibly tiring. At this point, it was more like a battle of attrition. 

"Ailza."

"!"

Both Yuna and Ailza came to find where that voice was coming from. It came from the pile of sleeping bodies. Julian had awaken?

"Huh. He broke from my cast so fast?" Yuna whined.

Julian spoke again. "Use that amplifying cast on me."

He slowly stood up, getting out of the pile of bodies. Something felt different, though.

Ailza was confused. But nonetheless, did as Julian said.

'How did he… know?'

[Cast: Gale Force]

Ailza sent a wave of gust toward Julian. It reached him, wrapping around his body.

He struggled for a moment.

'I underestimated the physical toll… But I do feel a little lighter.'

Swsh!

Julian cleared the distance between him and Yuna.

She raised her forearm in time, blocking the punch.

"Ailza, don't try to fight! Focus on maintaining this cast of yours!" he yelled.

'I'm… following orders from an inferior now…'

Julian threw another punch, this time aiming for the gut.

Bsh!

A direct hit!

"Ack!"

The wind around his hand sharpened, digging into Yuna's stomach. He swiftly pulled out, blood flying.

Yuna backed away.

"D-damn it…"

'How is he… doing that?'

Ailza stared in awe.

Yuna's injury slowly started healing.

"Do you really think I'm gonna let you do that?" Julian laughed.

He bent his knees, extending for one swift dash.

[Cast: Steel Chains]

Several chains formed from the ceiling and floor, wrapping around Julian.

Julian released some of the gale energy, destroying the chains.

"!" Yuna looked at Julian, with fear on her face.

He held his blade of wind, ready to decapitate.

As soon as he sliced, she disappeared into dust.
