Chapter 9 - frustratedbj

Han's anger boils over, and he channels it into his powers. With a fierce cry, a shimmering sword materializes in his hand, its blade glowing with a fierce yellow light.

Han charges at Taejoon, the sword slicing through the air with deadly precision. But Taejoon's reflexes are supernatural. With a blur of movement, he vanishes from Han's sight.

Han's sword slices through empty air, his momentum carrying him forward. He spins, eyes scanning wildly for Taejoon, but he's gone.

Taejoon's voice whispers in Han's ear, sending a shiver down his spine. "You shouldn't have done that."

Han spins again, sword raised, but Taejoon's already several feet away, his dark aura swirling around him like a cloak.

The two lock eyes – Han's yellow, Taejoon's red – in a silent challenge. The air crackles with tension.

Taejoon's voice is low, husky. "I don't want to hurt you, Han."

Han's chest heaves with exertion, his sword still glowing with power. "Then who are you?" he demands, ready to strike again.

Taejoon doesn't answer. He just vanishes into the shadows, leaving Han seething with frustration... 😈

Han's yellow eyes glow softly as he focuses his energy on healing himself. He sheathes his sword, and his hands begin to glow with a warm, golden light.

He presses his palms to his chest, and the light envelops his body. The wounds from the dark aura and the coughing up of blood start to fade, his breathing evening out as he's restored to health.

With a subtle nod, Han dissipates the healing energy. He takes a moment to collect himself, his eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of Taejoon. But he's gone.

Han's expression is a mix of confusion and determination. He turns and makes his way back to the others, his footsteps quiet on the night air.

As he rejoins the group, he's met with curious glances. "Han, you okay?" Jace asks, noticing the faint glow fading from his eyes.

Han nods, brushing it off. "Yeah, just... ran into something. I'm good."

The others exchange looks, but don't press the issue. Mrs. Johnson starts briefing them on the comeback plans, and Han focuses on the discussion, pushing the strange encounter to the back of his mind... for now. 😄
