Finch could be seen running for his life with his chain in hand, his figure a blur as a Rank 5 Shadow Assassin relentlessly chased after him. Unlike the other top fifty students, who could one-shot these Rank 5 Shadow Assassins, Finch couldn't perform the same feat. How could he? He wasn't at the Swiftstar or Firmstar Life Rank like the rest of them.
His senses screamed as he dove to the side. The moment he did, a crescent blade of darkness carved through the air and split the wall before him perfectly in half. Finch didn't hesitate. He caught a table at his side and flung it toward the Shadow Assassin pursuing him.
The Shadow Assassin simply ducked beneath the table and pounced at him like a jungle cat, its dagger screaming toward his thick neck. Finch immediately raised his chain and caught the dagger in place, a metallic clang ringing throughout the surroundings.
