The confidence that Khan radiated left the three Niqols speechless. The monster was drawing near at high speed. They could almost feel the ground under them tremble due to its heavy body slamming on the plain while it charged forward, but Khan appeared completely at ease with his back toward the creature.
The three Niqols were only in the first year, and their battle prowess wasn't great, but they could understand Khan's reasons. The period after the solar wind didn't feature any hunt since the creatures that could mutate had already mutated. Other parts of Nitis had seen monsters in the past months, but that didn't apply to the area under the control of the academy.
Khan didn't have the chance to test the skills developed during that time due to the absence of opponents, and the Niqols didn't usually rely on sparring sessions to improve, which left him basically out of options.
