Professor Kael narrowed his eyes, his expression cold and unreadable. He had expected the battle to end swiftly, with Xander's overwhelming strength crushing Damon in mere moments. Yet, to his surprise, Damon had defied expectations, surviving the initial assault and proving to be far more formidable than Kael had assumed.
The boy he had written off as insignificant displayed agility and precision far beyond anything he had shown before. Damon's movements were sharp, calculated, and entirely calm, his focus unwavering despite the barrage of light magic raining down on him.
'He has impressive motor skills… agile, with sharp instincts. A shame his mana pool is so pitifully low, and he's shown no aptitude for magic. He won't make it far in the academy.'
Kael's cold gaze followed the battle closely as Damon swung his daggers, redirecting the beams of light toward Xander with remarkable precision.
