"Grrrr...."
Gritting my teeth, I endured the pain surging through my body. My head spun, and my mana felt disrupted with each passing second. The dagger wound on my arm throbbed relentlessly.
"Ho? You've managed to dodge it."
As the pain from the dagger wound seared through my arm, I clenched my teeth and tried to regain my composure.
THUMP!
My heart was beating rapidly, and my body heat was increasing.
'Calm down.'
My instincts had saved me from the full brunt of the attack, but I had been injured, and the danger wasn't over.
I forcefully calmed myself down, applying mana to my veins and heart, slowing the circulation of blood.
Swiftly, I scanned my surroundings, assessing the situation. My eyes locked onto the three approaching students, their faces set with malice.
One of them, a tall and imposing figure, spoke with a hint of satisfaction. "You are quite good, aren't you?"
