Byun let out a low, impressed whistle. "Woah…" he muttered under his breath, watching the tendrils of smoke curl away from the first shadow wolf's fading form.
The principal didn't look back at him, his eyes narrowing slightly as he turned to meet the next one.
Without hesitation, Kine's hands flared with a concentrated glow, the air around them heating with the sheer intensity of his light magic. He released another burst, this one cleaner and sharper than the last.
The beam cut through the second wolf like a blade through paper. The creature gave a strangled howl before collapsing into nothingness, leaving behind a faint smear of cold air.
The third wolf lunged for him, claws outstretched, its red eyes blazing with unnatural hunger. Kine didn't move until it was a breath away.
At the last moment, he snapped his wrist upward, flooding the space with a piercing ray that struck the wolf mid-leap. It froze in the air for half a heartbeat before exploding into motes of shadow.
