62 Consequences (1/2)

---

What can they say? As expected?

While they literally had to work together to fight one, this freak of a nature soloed it.

It took him two punches. Two punches! To deal with the menace. Honestly, they felt a bit bad for ant. Out of all the people to interrupt, it chose Raven. Now it's fate was sealed.

”Common sense isn't really a thing for you huh?” Mark said while smiling wryly.

”What are you saying? You guys can do that too! I think you can do even better.” Raven shrugged while he regrouped with his crew.

He wasn't lying when he said this. In the end of the day, it all comes with experience. There will be a time when any of them could solo one of these without any problems.

”Anyway, we have more incoming. Let's kick it up a notch shall we? Mark and Paul, you guys handle one. Girls, team up and take one down for yourselves. How's that?”

”Let's do it!” The team was a bit inspired and decided to take his challenge.

***

It's been at least an hour since the mess started, the battlefield was full of damages, from caved in grounds down to some unfortunate soldiers who were injured during the clash.

It started with fifteen ants showing up basically at the same time but as time goes on, more and more showed up that the rate of killing the beasts can't keep up with the constant emergence of the ants.

Raven and his crew were busy too. They went with the original plan, the guys would handle one and so does the girls, except Raven who would only move once the situation becomes really dire. Altogether, they brought down at least ten ants and they don't plan on stopping.

At the start of the separation, they truly felt the weight of real battle. It was very challenging for them to take on one ant with less people. Some people who saw their battles could only shake their heads since they knew that they were too inexperienced to take on these beasts. But these people underestimated the conviction of these kids.

The constant drive and pressure brought out the hidden ferociousness inside their bodies. After a few battles, their teamwork was being polished at a very quick pace and they were finding out quicker ways to bring down these beasts without taking any serious damage of whatsoever. Apart from a few scratches on their bodies, they weren't truly in danger, and if they ever were, Raven would instantly crush it with a few punches.

Slowly, their battle instincts were honed and Raven can safely hunt down one for himself without needing to pay close attention to them. He left majority of the observation to Anne, since she was truly coming out of shell this time around.

Ever since the start of the battles, she had never fired any arrows that missed or doesn't have any purpose. Raven knew that her kinetic vision was good but it seems that he too underestimated it. Anne could anticipate correctly where the attacks would land and could act instantly too intercept it once she found out that her teammates will get hurt.

It had to be known that she isn't using any regular arrows. She is using arrows made out of compressed energy which, one: requires a great control of energy, two: could change trajectory depending on her control and distance, three: very consuming, four: allows her to decide the length of the arrows she needed.

All of those on top of observing the battle of not only her side but with the boys as well. Anne also made sure that she didn't stay on one place which would make her a glaring target for these ants. In terms of progress, she is very close to overshadowing the boys.

But of course, the intensity of this battle is too high not only for her but for the rest of them. To be able to keep up with this pacing even though they were beginners was actually commendable on it's own but it's quite taxing for them.

It was around this time, that the wooden gates swung wide open, capturing the attention of pretty much everyone in the battlefield. From there, an army of fifty strong men charged forward with Larry leading them. Almost every one heaved a sigh of relief when the reinforcements arrived. With them here, the extermination quickened and it didn't take long before the ants were wiped out.
