As I walked away from the girls, Sofia stepped out in front of the other three. As she was the only melee class in the group, she needed to get close to me, with the other three in the back and Mother a bit further back. It's a good setup. As I pulled my daggers from my storage, Sofia readied her shield and sword, but she made one mistake. As I slowly backed up, she followed me further away as I teleported from her sight.
"First, rule in the fight as a group tank, don't get too far away!" I yelled as I brought the pommel of the dagger down on the back of my mother's head, knocking her to the ground as Sofia started to run back. Samantha pointed her hand, casting Confusion, and the world began to get strange as my mind couldn't focus. Still, I could hear Raeni speak Earthen Spike activating my Mana enhancement I pushed off the ground landing five feet back when a giant earth spike stood where I was just at I need to take care of Samantha first it would seem as I rushed her she panicked point a hand at me an was about to cast her spell again. Still, I shadow stepped in front of her, making her step back as I kicked her legs out from under her before landing a punch onto her jaw, knocking her out as blood flowed out of her mouth as she lay on the ground.
Starting to run towards Raeni, making her cast off spells, trying to slow me down, until she couldn't as I landed in front of her. Valkyrie's Scream, Sofia yelled, making my body move on its own, rushing towards her. "Nicely done, Sofia, but let's see how many cuts you can handle. Ten thousand dagger strikes, my hands started to fly out. Sofia's shield lifted; she was slowly being pushed back as her legs started to get cut, weakening her stance until she dropped to one knee. I pulled her sheild down throwing a kick to the side of her head sending her flewing as she rolled on the group as I spun around Natures Binding as roots shot out from the ground ready to wrap around me I started to spin striking the roots cutting them as my mother tried to stand up I throw my dagger at her and smiled "Good, job you three. But let's end this round Chain-Lightning." I said.
The lightning shot out of my hand, hitting the dagger before bouncing to my mother and Raeni, making them pass out. I hit the dagger first because the target that gets hit first tends to take the most damage, and I didn't want either of them getting hit with that. Their bodies can handle more than normal people, but that could still hurt the babies. They shouldn't be hurt too badly with this, as the dagger got fried instead of them, as I made sure it had taken 60% of the power.
All four of the women lay on the ground, passed out, when my skill made me unable to move, and I fell to the ground on one knee. They slowly started to wake up. Sofia looked sad, as did the other three. "Y'all do pretty well for your first time, but Sofia, you're the tank. If you know you can't close the distance between your enemy, don't follow them away from your group, as they can reach your back line. Mother, you need to focus, as I shouldn't have been able to hit you without you doing anything. You have seen me fight before. Samantha, you have to work on your nerves. Panicking in the middle of the fight would only hurt you more than help you. As for Raeni. Don't fire off spells hoping they will hit, as you will waste your mana, try to follow where I will be and launch it before I get there." I gave them pointers to work on.
As my mother and I recovered from the fight, the following four were talking, trying to come up with a game plan for me. I smiled, looking at the four, who took what happened and used it to make sure they didn't follow the same fate. After twenty minutes, I was good to go, and my mother was mostly recovered.
"Ladies, are you ready?" I asked as I looked at them getting into their formation, and this one was very good. Zoey and Melody were in the back. Melody was protecting Zoey as Amina stepped out with her twin single-handed swords. She was a speed user like me, with Quinn between her and the other two. A speed style fighting me and a speed style protecting the buffer, this will be a good fight.
"Amina, here I come," I said before rushing to her. First dance! Amina yelled as her body started to glow. She struck out with her swords, making me use Mana Enhancement swords and daggers clash against each other as sparks flew out. I hear Fire Arrow making me shadow step behind Amina. Still, she was ready for that as I landed forcing me to duck but left her right leg open as I landed a cut on her thigh as it bleed out I noticed a white light slowly closing it looking over I saw Zoey casting something Blessing of regen clicking my tongue as I jumped back as Amina swung her sword down. Fireball Quinn yelled as I had to jump back again, not to get hit by a basketball-sized ball of fire.
I threw both my daggers at the three standing at the back. They ready themselves for what I was about to do, but they were too focused on the thrown daggers. As I disappeared, they didn't know it was a faint landing behind Amina. I kicked the back of her knee before grabbing the back of her head and activating my Mana Enhancement. I slammed her face into the ground, knocking her out, as they noticed Amina was down. Melody didn't have the perk of sitting back now as I rushed Quinn only to be stopped by her with her one dagger I pulled two of mine of my hips she didn't last long as her arms and legs were getting cut faster then Zoey could make up for it she even started to throw other buffs. Still, there was a clear gap between the two of us as I landed a backhand hit with the pummel of the dagger, dropping her.
The two started to back up as they waited for what I was going to do. I smirked, making a dark portal behind Zoey and one behind me. I reached my hand through it, grabbing her hair, pulling her hair, and making her head pull through it before spinning around. I brought my fist up with an upper cut, and as I pushed her head back through, she fell to the ground, not moving. Quinn started to panic and did what Raeni did, throwing spells out and trying to stop me until she was drained of mana. I grabbed the neck of her shirt and gave her a head but, knocking her out.
"Do you have to hurt them so much?" Aunt Samantha said with a sad look. "It's better to feel pain during training than to feel pain during a fight for your life. Pain makes one remember their mistakes. I would much rather them get hurt now than when their life is on the line, plus my mother has one of the strongest healing classes, they will be fine. They may hate me a little because of it, but I want them to understand that future fights will be for your life and the lives of those you care about. Kindness will only breed a weak fighting style." I said, looking at Aunt Samantha with a bit of guilt. I didn't want to make the women carry my babies hurt, but in the long run, this will be worth it.
As my mother went to heal them, the new ones were messing with their classes. I noticed Jamie and Catherine next to each other as I smiled and walked over to them. "I think it's time for me to help you two," I said, making them smile and nod.
