"Tch!"
Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Kashi vanished, reappeared in front of Ary, and landed a heavy blow with his blade.
"Heh," Ary just snickered as he raised his blade to defend himself.
"Is that all you've got, senior?"
Ary ridiculed him with a condescending smile, clearly trying to provoke Kashi for some reason.
"Shut up!"
Kashi shot back and thrust his blade, yelling,
"What happened to you? You're not the Ary I remember!"
"Right," Ary nonchalantly replied, then gazed back at Kashi, adding,
"I'm not the wimp you remember, Kashi."
"?!"
Kashi's eyes widened after being looked down on by Ary.
"A-Ary…"
Even Erica and others were left gobsmacked after seeing Ary's disrespectful behavior.
'It can't be him, right?'
Marinette, with a concerned look, sighed inwardly as she seemed to realize something.
"Grr!!"
