Chapter 366: Panic Attack
Seven Sins System Chapter 366. Panic Attack
"Fiona, calm down and keep your focus!" I called out, my voice cutting through the chaos. My eyes stayed locked on her, but my feet moved with purpose toward where my fallen dagger. In one swift motion, I snatched it up, ready to face the next holographic monster.
Despite my reminder, Fiona struggled to regain composure. Panic clung to her, evident in the erratic movements as she darted around, desperately avoiding the monsters that now had their sights set on her. It was a bad dance of evasion, and her team couldn't hide their growing concern. Some gripped their weapons tighter, poised to intervene, but a restraining gesture from Julia halted their impulsive reactions. Arms folded across her chest, Julia's unwavering gaze remained fixed on Fiona.
Truth be told, annoyance simmered under my composed exterior. If Fiona were a demon under my command, a soldier in the infernal ranks, I would subject her to the relentless crucible of hellish training. In my realm, survival was the only currency, and demons either thrived or perished. It was a brutal but effective method to weed out weaknesses and mold warriors with unshakable resolve.
But this was the battle academy, not the depths of hell. Here, the approach needed finesse, understanding, and patience – qualities that sometimes tested my own limits. I glanced at Julia, recognizing her restraint, but the frustration lingered.
"Use barrier!" I instructed Fiona, urgency lacing my words. Fiona attempted to use the protective spell. However, the three menacing holographic monsters that charged toward her proved too much for her nerves. Panic set in, disrupting her concentration, and the spell faltered. She took off in a sprint once again, fear painted across her face.
"Are you kidding me?" I muttered under my breath. It was clear that the current training approach wasn't working for Fiona. Her inability to control the panic threatened to hinder her progress, and I knew I needed to adjust my methods.
Taking a moment to reassess, I aimed for a more direct intervention. Pointing my hand at Fiona, I tapped into my own skills. "Barrier," I cast.
[A barrier has been formed!]
