In the room designated for Seth's private training, teacher and student stood precisely five meters apart, the space practically pulsating with anticipation.
"Are you ready?" Raiden inquired, his eyes locked onto Seth, his confidence in securing another victory apparent in his unwavering gaze.
Before Raiden could even finish his words, Seth's form, stationed five meters distant, blurred into rapid motion, hurtling towards Raiden with astonishing speed.
Swoosh!
"What the hell!?" Raiden exclaimed, genuine shock coursing through him as he grappled to adapt to Seth's sudden and unexpected burst of velocity.
Seth's arrival was a mere heartbeat away, but it held an uncommon twist. As he closed in on Raiden, his last step transformed into a leap. His foot connected with the ground, and with all his might, he propelled himself forward, launching into the air in a swift, unexpected maneuver that bridged the gap between them in the blink of an eye.
