***
A distant voice was heard in the forest, and the team stayed silent and still. The leaves and branches fluttered under the wind but they weren't noticed.
*wave*
Brandyn made a signal to Aria to try and attack this person in some way. She didn't even reply but she had listened, switching the grasp of her spear to perform some weird technique. Particles of earth accumulated in between her fingers and a sharp spike was formed in the middle of the air.
Slowly pulling it back, she waited.
Waited for the perfect chance.
There was no movement…
Not until the chance was right.
The student, with a silver broadsword, looked at the distance intently. He had long red hair with piercing blue eyes but he didn't pay much attention to it and turned, trying to observe the other areas of the forest.
*thwoo*
*thip*
The spike darted through the air and stabbed into the back of his chest, piercing right through his lung.
"Argh! There's someone at 5 o'clock!" The student shouted, stumbling forwards as this spike caused heavy irritation in his back.
Botan hurled himself down from the branches above, roaring at the group of students with his gorilla fangs.
"Get him!" A 6'0 student with short black hair exclaimed, charging at Brandyn.
Aria leaped down and charged for the machete-wielding student, clashing their two weapons together. This redhead's sword engulfed in the cold air, with sprinkles of ice flowing within it. His muscles were quite slim but clearly developed, with decent vascularity on the surface.
Brandyn jumped down from the branch and came down with a heavy-hitting punch, that knocked this fighter right off course.
"You're not gonna overpower me anymore, Nial! I'll show you who's stronger!" Brandyn declared, charging in a combination of different attacks.
Nial tried to attack with a punch but the skilled fighter used the jab to secure range, coming right over his outreached arm to strike him in the face.
Before he could even retaliate, Brandyn had already landed a punch straight to the liver. Seeing the expression in Nial's face, Brandyn knew he had caused damage. Relentlessly, he slammed his shin into his left side while advancing forward, forcing the student away.
Nial managed to chip Brandyn with a quick punch to the face but this didn't affect the archdemon. He continued with his vicious strikes, clearly showcasing his superior battle prowess. A fist came right for his nose but he slipped past this attack, even surprising Nial.
"How did he-," Before he could finish the muttering, Brandyn landed a hook to the stomach at full throttle.
*BAM*
Nial dropped to one knee from this strike, clearly in pain and stress from the last blow. His breathing intensified and he was barely able to retreat from the warlike archdemon. The focus and fearlessness in his eyes struck fear into his soul. Now, he knew he had to use all the power that he had.
On his planted hand, claws grew from his fingernails and black, shabby fur started to grow across his forearm. The muscles in his forearm also enlarged, including several other muscle groups. Hair also grew down his cheeks in the form of sideburns and his face shifted in structure, letting out blood-curdling pops and crackles as it did so.
*spark*
A small orange ember emitted off his planted hand then a small group of orange embers emitted off his body.
"DIE, TRASH!" Nial exclaimed, punching Brandyn away with his newly powered fist.
"You really thought I'd let you beat me! Just because you got some late bloomer ability, don't forget your f*cking place!" The teenager shouted, clearly emotionally charged.
This strike wasn't simply something Brandyn could forget about. The blow really was something he wasn't used to feeling. The people that bullied him never really used their full strength since he was likely to die if that happened. The students were remorseless but they weren't stupid and knew the repercussions of such a thing. The only person that could probably get away with that was Elias, who could use his rich family to simply cover it up. However, the effort was simply not enticing since the reward was the same whether or not he used an ability.
*ZOOM*
Nial charged ahead powerfully, covering the distance between him and Brandyn in just a second. The fiery warrior slashed right up Brandyn's body as he backed away, finishing with a momentum-boosted elbow that dropped the archdemon to the ground. He was quick to raise back up to his feet but he swiftly returned to the ground with an insanely powerful right hook to the side of the ribs.
*crack*
"Ah!" Brandyn shouted, then getting stabbed in the chest by Nial's fiery hot claws.
There were no flames but the nails seemed to be lightly glowing, burning his new wounds.
"Damn! This hurts like hell! What am I supposed to do?!" Brandyn thought, struggling to release from the boy's grasp.
Nial, with his right hand claws wedged in his opponent's chest, through a bunch of punches with his left, beating Brandyn to his knees.

"That's never been that low! I need to make sure that doesn't get to zero!" Brandyn thought to himself, getting even more defensive.
The wounds in his chest sizzled as he retreated, causing agonising pain in his chest. Nial, on the other hand, showed no sense of sympathy or compassion, simply chasing after the beaten down student like a predator that had subdued its prey.
Brandyn, using the last of the rage inside him, stood and charged at Nial with a scream. He threw an ambitious right punch that Nial slipped by with a smile, simply watching his fist dart right past his face.
Nial then forced his shin into Brandyn's stomach, grabbing him by the back of the shirt. Embers scattered off his gripped hand as swerved around powerfully, pulling the archdemon directly off his feet. He initially struggled to stay on his feet but the backwards force was too great, lifting him right into the air.
Nial, explosively, slammed him into the ground with a hurl, making Brandyn cough blood from the injuries of the hit.
With a smile, he shot down his clawed hand but Brandyn just about managed to evade the attack, sprinting forwards to evade any more incoming attacks. However, Nial charged right after him and the gap between them closed quite steadily. The prey's run was quite frantic and disordered. His main target was evasion, not following a target. On the other hand, the predator chased after him with a straight focus and line of direction.
Nial lifted his entire body and hurled his right foot forward, intensifying his force with his momentum.
*BANG*
Brandyn was hurled backwards even more, returning to a deeper collection of trees in the forest.
