Saeko watched as one bandit stumbled, falling to the ground, and she seized the opportunity to strike.
With a fierce determination, she dashed forward, her katana flashing as she dispatched the downed bandit with a swift slice. The wind surged around her again, fueling her confidence as she turned her attention back to the others.
The leader of the bandits, now furious, rallied his remaining comrades. "Regroup! We'll take her down together!" he bellowed, his voice carrying over the chaos. The bandits exchanged glances, clearly shaken by the unexpected resistance from the merchants.
Saeko knew they were gaining momentum, and she had to keep it. She launched into the fray once more, using the wind to propel herself forward. The swirling energy around her enhanced her agility, allowing her to dodge and weave through the bandits with remarkable speed. With each movement, she felt more in tune with the air, her instincts guiding her as she fought.
