[Stormhold Viewing Section - Simultaneous]
Ariana's spatial awareness had been casually extended, a habit she'd developed from constant training.
When Eleanor produced the cube, when spatial distortions began manifesting, Ariana's innate skill screamed warnings before her conscious mind even processed what was happening.
Pure instinct took over.
Her hand shot out, grabbing Elizabeth's arm, her spatial skill activating with desperate intensity!
Space folded.
She, Elizabeth, Adrian, Fiona, and Victoria vanished from their viewing section and reappeared several hundred meters away.
The teleportation was sloppy, uncontrolled and purely reactionary.
But… it saved their lives.
BOOOOOOM!
The explosion hit where they'd been standing a fraction of a second later, the viewing section vaporizing in the blast.
But Ariana had already been exhausted from yesterday's match.
Teleporting five people across hundreds of meters while mentally drained pushed her far past her limits.
