Chapter 37 – Flash Step
Zane's heart plummeted the moment his feet left the ground.
"Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!!" His mind screamed as panic surged through his veins. He flailed instinctively, wind tearing at his skin, the balcony already far behind him. Every primal instinct screamed in his ears—this was no training accident. This was a dive to death.
"You've got to be kidding me!" he howled, barely able to comprehend how quickly everything had spiraled out of control. He was supposed to blink a few meters forward—not go flying over thirty. Fiora had said Flash Step was a short-distance burst. What the hell was that?
But just when gravity seemed about to claim him, something brushed against his shoulder.
Zane's eyes flew open. His fall stopped—no, it was being reversed.
He blinked up and saw Fiora gripping him tightly.
"Huh?" His voice barely registered over the rushing air. "What?"
"I got you," she said calmly, her smile unfazed by the fact that they were currently hovering over open air.
"Fiora?! What the hell are you doing?!"
"Shush." She raised her foot and—BOOM—stomped on nothing. A shockwave cracked through the air, and Zane felt their bodies rise sharply. Before he could react, Fiora stomped again, this time launching them sideways toward the balcony.
