The group continued advancing, encountering more spiders as they went deeper into Silver territory.
The second encounter was an agile variant, its body more slender and its movements significantly faster than the constructor's slower pace. This one didn't hesitate initially, launching toward them with a speed that would make most students panic and fumble their response.
"Use your Hawk wings," Ren ordered calmly without a hint of the urgency the situation might seem to warrant. "Send a wind burst at its center of mass... Again, don't kill it, just push it back."
The hawk boy reacted in time, his beast manifesting partially in his arms while he swung them hard, launching concentrated wind with a common technique he'd practiced all the time.
Yet the first attempt was too weak… The spider barely staggered, momentum barely affected by the insufficient force. He had thought of not killing, but had lowered the power too much.
