The last thing Amari had expected Jyn to do was self-fucking-destruct!
And it showed quite obviously.
His body was riddled with tiny wounds, both from his initial battle and the self-destruction, but the most prominent injury was a long gash that tore right across his leg with the aim to slice it off.
He collapsed to the ground, both numb and pained.
Even on his deathbed, Jyn was still an absolute monster at mana manipulation.
At first, Amari didn't know how a simple explosion would have caused that much damage, but it was evident a second after.
"He…transformed the excess energy into blades at the last second," he said through ragged breaths.
Was this something they thought in the Demon Academy? Perhaps they would teach that in the third year, but still, it was something to behold.
Even more amazing was the fact that Jyn targeted his leg, presumably to make sure he wasn't able to complete his journey back quickly.
