"DON'T LET UP, PUSH PUSH PUSH!" Selene hollered, adding to the chorus of chants and cheering.
However, instead of rushing off to finish his opponent, Benny stayed calm and dashed back, putting a few meters distance between himself and the downed Instructor Garrison.
It was a smart move because the instant he did so, hundreds of thin, needle-like spikes shot up from the ground where he previously stood.
"Not bad; your foresight is pretty intimidating, Benjamin." Pounding his fist on the ground and manifesting a small rock pillar under his body, Instructor Garrison bounced up and landed on his feet, gripping his longsword with both hands.
