Behind Cole was the second-year student; he seemed to have been attracted by the sound of the explosion.
"No no, not now, not in a situation like this," Cole thought.
He looked down at his mangled arm that had turned slightly purple and then behind him.
Behind him, the second-year student stood just like Cain did. Trying to exude an aura of superiority.
"You caused me to lose my chance to redeem myself, leaving me just at the edge of failing out."
"Do you know what is at stake? Do you know what would happen if I left this academy?" The student rambled.
"The Elder's presence has always been on you throughout your activities, keeping me at bay."
"But right now it is just you and me." The student said with a deranged expression.
Cole at his full power wouldn't be too worried by his opponent as long as he hadn't reached the Awakened Level.
But the current him was in no condition to fight in any way.
He decided to do the only logical thing at that point.
Run.
