The mood shifted.
Blaze Talon grinned, fire curling around his fists. "Enough games."
Iron Coil spun his chain faster, the metal hissing through the air.
Stonehide Jackal slammed his fists together, rocks forming along his arms.
"You wanted to see A-Rank?" Blaze said, stepping forward. "Here it is."
He launched himself toward the black-haired girl.
This time, his punch came with a burst of fire.
She dodged, but the flames still licked her shoulder.
Her suit smoked slightly, and she slid back.
"Hah! You're not so fast now," Blaze laughed.
"Maybe I'll burn off that tight little suit next."
The girl didn't answer, just narrowed her eyes.
Iron Coil swung his chain at the red-haired girl, now sharper and faster.
The end split into three tips, all aimed at her legs.
She jumped, but one of the tips scratched her thigh.
She winced, landing hard.
"Getting slower?" he said with a grin.
"Your body looks better when it's marked up."
