Raiden and old man Jasper had the field to themselves now, with Levi and Soul dealing with the others back in the house.
For Raiden, this was nothing but a thrilling rush. He approached Jasper, who simply stood there, calm, hands folded gently behind him. Raiden channeled all his strength into his hand—time to collect his reward.
The excitement didn't allow Raiden to stay still. He hopped from one foot to the other on his tiptoes, his whole body tingling as his fingers twitched with euphoria.
The old man remained unbothered, his dark eyes calmly tracking Raiden's movements, but Raiden was beyond caring. Without a second thought, he struck with precision—a devastating blow to the solar plexus. The crack echoed sharply across the field, followed by a rush of wind that swept over them both.
