Above ground in Michael's hideout, both Linda and Bryan were in a large battle against the two Michael's followers.
Linda's opponent had an ice-related Innate spirit granting him ice abilities, which was a heavy counter to Linda's own abilities.
Bryan's opponent, on the other hand, used a spear, and his abilities seemed to point towards that too.
Overall, the two of them were holding their own and could even be said to be overpowering their opponents, but things weren't just that easy.
Though their opponents were Dormant-level spiriters, the stat boost provided by the dark energy made them much stronger than any Dormant-level spiriter.
The battle raged on with the two students using all they had against their opponents. They finally won after Linda used an extremely amplified flaming slash to break her opponent's defenses and deliver a lethal strike.
