The initial attack was just to cause a distraction.
Sam kicked off and turned his attention to the closest opponent who had a sword in his hands. He is from the Thor Academy and he is also a lightning user. Looking at Sam who looked like a weird demonic creatures with his purple-red color and pale skin, he created a sphere of lightning around himself to defense.
*BAM*
Sam's staff landed squarely on the sphere and shook it.
*SWOOSH*
An arrow came at Sam from a different direction. He took a turn and swung his staff at it. The arrow was deflected and went in the direction of another opponent. Meanwhile, the swordsman from Thor Academy braced himself and attacked Sam from behind.
*CLANG*
The sword clashed with the staff because of Sam's defense who already turned around to meet the opponent and the next moment a flurry of exchanges began in between.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
