Arya must have accidently let go of her grip on Matthew while she was distracted by the appearance of the attackers.
Matthew, eyeing the hanging swords off her waist, ripped her swords off her belt and made a mad dash for it. Perhaps he was looking for a weapon to defend himself with.
By the time Arya finally noticed her swords were gone, it was too late.
Idiot, Arya thought as she watched, he had no training in using swords. Those swords might as well be two sticks in his hands.
But chasing down that sword stealer was the least of her concerns right now.
Because a girl was charging at her. Arya only had time to put up a guard as her punch connected with Arya.
Arya recognized her from her pink hair as the girl with a super strength ability from the Royal Academy. She certainly did have super strength as Arya was sent flying through the air before she slammed against a wall of a building so hard that the wall broke and cracked upon impact. Arya felt the wind knocked out of her and she coughed up blood.
The pink haired girl leaped up into the air and she was coming at Arya like a hawk with its talons ready to catch its prey.
Arya rolled out of the way and the girl's fist connected with the ground and the earth exploded just a few feet from Arya. Dirt went flying everywhere and the girl left a deep crater from where her fist landed. Arya gulped, she knew if she had gotten hit by that girl's punch for a second time, she would be dead.
The girl's punch ended up kicking up a lot of dirt into the air and it was creating a sort of smokescreen that was leaving people's view hazy and blurred.
Arya took advantage of that to put some distance between herself and the girl.
But then a boy came charging at her from behind, sword in his hand, ready to shed her blood.
Arya whipped around and used her telekinesis to lift the man up into the air before throwing him to the ground, making sure to slam his head hard enough against the ground to knock him out but not hard enough to kill him.
"Sleep well, man, I'm sorry I had to do this to you."
Glints of ice were thrown at her but Arya managed to dodge them all but one of them managed to get stuck in her forearm,the rest of the knives missed her.
Arya didn't have any time to rest after she ripped the ice knife out of her arm before the next attack came.
A dark-haired girl sent a blast of ice towards her but Arya managed to dodge it and then she sent the girl flying with a well-placed telekinetic blast.
That same pink-haired girl was charging at Arya from her left and Arya wasted no time.
Arya balled up her right hand into a fist and she threw her fist at that pink-haired girl.
She caught her in a right hook that smashed into her face with so much power that she was sent stumbling backwards a few feet. She looked dazed and confused for a few seconds.
The girl shook off the punch much to Arya's dismay. She hoped that she was able to knock her out with one blow.
But that was just wishful thinking on Arya's part as that girl was strong looking with meaty arms and muscles.
She yanked the girl off her feet with her mind and she threw her at the incoming people charging in her direction like she would throw a knife.
The girl crashed into two of the people and knocked them off their feet onto the ground.
Hopefully that brought Arya some time and cut down the numbers. But there seemed to be no end to the people Arya had to fight.
A blonde-haired boy balled up fists and charged at such a great speed that Arya didn't see it coming.
She was barely able to dodge that fist that came flying towards her head. He continued to rain down punches at Arya. He seemed well trained to her but he was nothing compared to Catalina.
She weaved and nimbly avoided the punches that were coming at her in all directions and were getting faster and faster.
Wait for it….Arya continued to weave and dodge the attacks.
Now!!!
Arya unleashed a flurry of punches that the boy was unable to dodge or block. Blow after blow continued to rain down on him and Arya was doing some serious damage. She then launched a back kick that caught the boy in the guts that knocked the wind out of her. Arya didn't stop and she then unleashed her fury on him in the form of left hooks, right hooks and jabs. She made sure to control her strength so she wouldn't kill him.
The boy was wavering and getting weaker now. Arya finished him off by bringing her leg down onto his head. The boy collapsed onto the dirt limp and still.
Four boys charged at her from all directions. Three of them were armed with spears and one of them had a sword.
Arya charged right at them, fists ready, and she quickly took them all out with well placed kicks and punches and she took them all down in a flash. They hit the ground, knocked unconscious and incapacitated.
This was only the beginning of a long fight.
Arya felt like she could still fight but for how much longer could she hold out?
