(Sayuri's Perspective)
In an instant, the wolf demihuman before me disappeared, leaving behind nothing but a trail of smoke. My eyes widened in surprise at his impossible speed, but it was too late.
"Ngh-!" I was struck by a surprise kick to my back, powerful enough to send me tumbling to the floor.
However, despite my small body, I was a member of the Council of Arcanity—the representative for the Demihumans. I will not allow another to defeat me so easily like this…!
"Tch-!" I evaded his follow-up attack with a roll and sprung to my feet once more, causing the wolf demihuman to smirk before instantly vanishing again.
But this time, I was prepared.
Tiger Instinct!
My burning orange eyes lit up like fire, and my senses heightened exponentially.
… There!
