"I'm surprised kids like you even got this far. Though it's not like anyone's been here before, well until now at least." He said, looking down on both Katsu and I.
Megumi jumped away from whoever this guy was and casted a healing spell on me. Before I could fully heal, Katsu rushed over to the man and released a giant wind attack and point blank.
The man didn't even flinch. He just stood there and yawned at Katsu's attack. Just who was this guy?
"That wasn't a bad attack for someone your age." The man said, hitting Katsu into the ground.
The man seemed displeased with Katsu and picked him up by his collar. He seemed to examine Katsu for a moment before throwing him aside.
What could I do against this guy? Unlike Katsu, I could use magic so I was already at a huge disadvantage. Even if I tried to run I knew it wouldn't work, this guy's speed already proved that.
"Hmm… maybe the girl will put up a better fight." The man said, looking directly at Megumi.
"It's not like I'd ever give you the chance!" An all too familiar voice said.
Akira's foot collided with the side of the man's head and sent him flying across the area. The smile that I would usually see on his face wasn't there. Instead, there was a serious look, one of which I'd never seen before.
"Megumi, heal Katsu. John, once Katsu is awake help him get to a safe distance." He said.
Akira had his back turned to us. His sword was consumed in some sort of flame. Katsu suddenly vanished from view, presumably going to where the man was.
"Let's go!" Megumi yelled, running towards Katsu.
As we arrived at where Katsu was, Akira and the man reappeared next to us. Akira grabbed onto one of the man's arm and twist it around his back before kicking him away. Despite what Akira had just done, the man reappeared in front of him and began throwing a barrage of punches.
"You're way more interesting than those kids over there!" He yelled, still throwing punches.
Despite the man's speed, Akira seemed to dodge all of his attacks. That or the attacks just weren't hurting him. The man managed to get behind Akira and was about to strike him but stopped dead in his tracks and jumped back.
"You… what are you?" He said, now covered in sweat.
The man was visibly shaking. Why though? All Akira did was stand there.
"Ugh…"
I stopped watching the fight and turned towards Katsu. He was awake now but seemed to be in a lot of pain, though that makes sense with what just happened.
"Easy now, we need to get you to safety." Megumi said, helping him up.
