Ch 49: Do you want to get better?- Part 2

Orion had had enough.

His anger burned through his veins as he lunged forward. If barriers weren't working, he would just attack directly

He might not be the strongest fighter, but he wasn't weak either. He would hit Ethan, even if it was the last thing he did.

With a fierce glare, Orion dropped his barrier and sprinted toward Ethan, fists clenched.

Ethan merely raised an eyebrow.

Orion threw a punch.

Ethan yawned.

And in one smooth motion, he caught Orion's wrist mid-strike.

Orion's eyes widened as Ethan barely even reacted to his attack. 

The older man tilted his head lazily, as if unimpressed, and then—without even looking like he was trying—shoved Orion backward.

The force sent Orion stumbling. He lost his footing and landed hard on his ass, a sharp sting shooting up his spine as he hit the ground.
