It was harder now. He couldn't just vanish through the gaps in enemy lines. He had to intercept threats meant for Fatty. Cover angles Jiang couldn't reach. Slow down.
He hated slowing down.
But he did it.
Across the room, chaos reigned.
Jennifer Aquafrost shrieked as a drone clipped her with a mana disruptor, her icy aura sputtering as she kicked it away.
Zhao Rui fought like a demon, his fire spells wild and explosive. "I KNEW YOU IT! THIS SCHOOL IS FILLED WITH PSYCHOPATHS!" he screamed as he got swarmed.
Ji Chen was halfway buried under a pile of drones, still calmly casting wind bursts like a mage solving a math problem under gunfire.
In the thick of it all, the Mu Triplets and the Lin Triplets were actually joining forces and doing extremely well for themselves.
Lin Fei spun like a cyclone, staff smashing drones left and right. Lin Xiu vaulted off a wall, impaling a drone mid-flip. Lin Bao let out a war cry and shoulder-slammed a cluster like a runaway bull.
