Dashing through the panicked crowd with pinpoint precision, Reina tightened her grip around her sword, her blue eyes locked onto a single target in the chaos.
"H-Help!"
A terrified cry echoed nearby.
WOOOSHH!!
With a sharp swing, a radiant slash of sword aura flew from her blade, cutting clean through the arm of a massive ice golem that had raised its jagged fist toward a frozen student.
The severed limb hit the ground with a heavy crack, splintering into frozen chunks.
The golem reeled back, letting out a deep, grinding growl, more confused than hurt as the icy remains of its arm began to twitch—already starting to regenerate.
But Reina didn't give it a chance.
She exhaled once, calmly—then shot forward.
Mana surged into her legs as she launched herself off the ground like a streak of white light.
