While the fighting continued, Apollo aimed and fired the weapon in his hand. He could see how the professors were a team and each one of them could easily watch for the others' blind spots. Their synergy amazes him, they were experienced fighters with the confidence to leave their back protected by their comrades. The connection they have must have been built by years of fighting alongside each other.
