Then professor Yulia vs. Assassin:...
The second assassin charged straight at Professor Yulia with his blades flashing in the dim light.
He moved fast where his footsteps were light and deadly, aiming to take her down in a single blow.
But Yulia didn't move.
Calmly, she raised her hand and spoke a quiet chant under her breath. Glowing symbols lit up beneath her feet and a rune circle formed in an instant.
A wave of light spread out from her, glowing and humming with power.
The assassin's blade came down hard—but it struck something invisible.
A magical barrier appeared in front of Yulia, stopping the attack with a loud crack! Sparks flew through the air as metal clashed with magic.
The assassin quickly stepped to the left, pretending to strike again. Then, with a quick twist, he aimed for her on the other side.
But Yulia was ready.
She moved smoothly, like flowing water. Her hand rose with perfect timing, deflecting the blade.
