"What the hell?"
"Did you manage to use it!?"
The girls cautiously surrounded Alex, their eyes fixed on his shadowy, menacing claws.
The dark energy radiating from them was palpable, and while they were clearly fascinated, none dared to step too close.
"It's fine, I removed the curse," Alex said with a confident laugh.
He flexed his clawed hand, the sharp tips glinting ominously, "Now I'm so strong nothing could hurt us!"
Alice, however, wasn't about to let him have the spotlight for too long.
"Don't forget about me," she said, crossing her arms with a sly smile. "You're missing something!"
Everyone exchanged puzzled looks, except Alex, who quickly remembered Alice's newly evolved talent.
Sure, she had gained [Space Arrows], but what made it truly remarkable was the unique skill she had unlocked: [Arrow Black Hole].
