Did you pick the right side?

Mada had to second guess himself as to what he had just seen. He was fighting against the rabid students, those that had reached stage 3 and stage 4. Their strength was relentless, as they weren't as deprived of food compared to the others.

Even then, they had also somehow learned to attack and fight in their own way. Not relying on the skills they had learned from the academy or their clans, a way of fighting which was superior in the dark underground area they were in.

Because of all of these things, Mada was having a difficult time going against the others. So how, even if it was Raze who managed to best Ricktor, did he manage to slice two of those students down in a single attack? 

Not only that, but he was sure of it, that Raze had struck before even walking past him; his attack had somehow extended out of himself. When looking up, Mada could see the back of Raze's head, the white hair.
