Teru was right about one thing--he was faster than this thing.
'At this rate, as long as I don't get hit.'
He was single-minded now. He was going to keep Tome safe. He was going to keep the little dove safe. He was going to see this through to Mob until--
The pressure was building again. It was predictable in that it had only been bum-rushing them but he couldn't be sure it didn't have something else up it's sleeve. He couldn't get a clear look at it just operating on it's level. So he bent his legs, told his companions to keep their heads down and he leapt up. He could feel the wind cutting through and just barely missing the bottom of his shoes. Up, up, up he went and he hovered until he was on-par with the farmland's tallest trees. It was hard to see as the darkness encroached on them, but he could make out a faint smoking zig-zag pattern.
"Oooouuuoooo! So humans CAN fly! I knew it!"
Tome heaved. "N-no-not q-quite--"
Before Teru could even think about soaking up the first bit of praise he'd gotten that evening the pressure was building again and quicker than ever. He twisted his body in-mid air as a rush of wind went by and suddenly the rain was muffled. Actually, everything was muffled. Wait, was Tome yelling now? He landed again to get his bearings and winced at the ache in his neck from jerking it so suddenly.
Ah. Something else hurt. Something really hurt. Something was warm. That's what Tome was yelling about. His shoulder was spurting blood and was soaking into her hand.
"Are you hurt, Tome-senpai?"
"Oh my god, did it take your arm off!?"
"No. Don't worry about it. I've gotten it worse from Kageyama-kun."
"Wait, what--"
Teru took off in a new direction. Even if it was dark, he had picked up on a few more interesting tidbits while he'd been airborne.
