John Crest receives an uppercut, the sheer force of the hit strong enough to launch him into the air, and he falls down hard on the ground. The young man struggles to sit up from the ground, spitting out all the blood that filled his mouth.
Phase (The Dark Curse): Yeah you did alright, well not really, but at least you tried your best. (Phase tells him nervously, and John does not respond)... So I'm gonna leave now, I've got stuff to do, and I don't want to disturb your, er, recovery process. Well, bye! (Phase said before quickly leaving)
John grits his bloody teeth in anger, just thinking of how quickly he lost this fight, and that makes his blood boil.
John Crest: Damn it! (John yells as he punches the ground in anger, Tome and Wyse standing nearby with worried looks on their faces)
Now John is at the Infinite Library, all healed up from his injuries, but still sour about his loss to Phase.
