–"Rush him!"
As Lucas' figure became clear, the cadets quickly charged at him together, aiming to overpower him with their numbers.
However, three individuals remained rooted in their spots - Grace, Alberto, and Tory, a red-haired girl.
Observing the battle from a distance, the trio waited for others to make an opening that they could exploit.
Cling, Clang, Cling—!!
However, despite their efforts, they couldn't create a single opening in Lucas' technique. There was no room for mistakes.
Lucas constantly covered his blind spots and continuously moved around so that he couldn't get surrounded.
Moreover, he also kept at least two to three cadets near him at all times, so that Grace or anyone else could not launch an artillery spell at him like the Storm Arrow from earlier.
