"Alex was it? we are here to give you a present from Brooks, " one of the six recruits said as he dashed at Alex and the rest following from behind.
Alex's mind raced as he saw the recruits charging. "I'm outnumbered, outmatched, and almost out of Ki. But I can't give up now."
Gritting his teeth, Alex channeled the last of his Ki into his wooden spear, feeling the energy pulse through the weapon. With a shout, he unleashed a powerful Ki slash, a desperate move that was larger and more forceful than any he had done before. The energy wave surged forward, but the recruits, trained and agile, dodged the attack with practiced ease.
"Nice try, Alex," one of them taunted, smirking. "But it'll take more than that to stop us."
