A wave of anger invaded the leader's psyche, and he saw red. He remembered the words his leader had said to him before he left, and his anger only rose higher.
"Kill him!" he roared and took off, sprinting towards Damion like a jet.
"Wait, Rafael!!" The other students tried to stop him, but he was already too close to Damion.
A sword appeared in Damion's hand, and he brandished it with unsurprising skill. A water bullet shooting towards him was split in half, shattering into a rain of water droplets.
Damion thought it had ended there, but he was wrong. The water droplets stopped midair under Rafael's manipulation, and shot towards his eyes. He was shocked by this development, but remained calm regardless.
He blinked, and the droplets pelted against his eyelids, doing next to no damage.
As soon as he opened his eyes though, he found five earth spikes inches away from his body.
Now Damion was truly shocked.
