Arc 3: Unknown Discovery - 24

I stand next to Ruby and Weiss as I protect their back while they deal with those in front of them.

Seven male contractors stand before me, their eyes cold and calculating as they size me up, searching for an opening to strike. Each one is armed with a different weapon—sharp knives, heavy batons, and even rattling chains. The air is tense. I narrow my eyes, ready for whatever comes next, knowing that any hesitation could be my downfall if I lower my guard. The men shift slightly, their stances aggressive and prepared to attack.

One of the seven contractors, wielding a knife, lunged forward at me.

I sidestep the attack, just barely avoiding the knife, and deliver a precise strike to his wrist. The knife clatters to the ground as I twist the attacker's arm, sending him sprawling with a bone-crunching kick to the ribs. I finish him with a palm strike enhanced with Ren, making a hole where his heart should be.

Two others rushed in simultaneously, one swinging a baton at my head while the other aimed a punch at my midsection. I duck under the baton while catching the punch aimed at my stomach, using his momentum to flip him hard to the ground, knocking the wind out of him. I follow up by breaking his wrist with a strong twist and stomping on his head with the help of Ren, crushing it like an egg.

I faced the man with the baton. Closing the distance in a heartbeat, I stepped into the attacker's guard. A series of rapid strikes occurred: A palm strike shattered his nose, an elbow broke open a large gap to the temple, and a knee to the solar plexus sent him flying away.
