It wasn't just fast.
It came at the perfect time.
Three of the students were laying siege upon him, one with a heavy axe from above, another with a katana by the side, and a third who threw shuriken that he had dodged with the chains.
None could have expected the strike Everlearn gave from behind.
His fist pierced with speed, swift and precise, toward the instructor's spine, and yet at the last moment, with both eyes widened,
BAAANG!
VROOOOOM!
Everlearn felt the dojo ground beneath his feet crumble, and in that instant, the instructor's image glitched out of existence.
'He dodged it!'
'Above!'
The words echoed in Everlearn's head, and he didn't turn his gaze up at all, immediately rolling away from where he stood.
A pulse echoed and,
BOOM!
A dagger cleaved through where he had stood, carving a meter-long blade stroke upon the ground.
