Shef begins swimming back to the Land, his thoughts on his target and how to eliminate. But then, he feels,
something, it's hard to describe. A sixth sense of sorts. All Awakened have it to an extent, something
tugging at them, at their very soul, as if their own Fate was calling them. And Shef, knew it better than anyone else here, he had, spent so long ignoring it after all. It is, what allows the Awakened to have a sense of how well their actions will go, but also a means to alter those outcomes, for whatever is tugging at them is not absolute and they too could tug back. This wasn't that. This was something similar, the feeling he has when he uses his magic. A kind of natural sensitivity portal magic, what affords him such precision that he can make a bewitched bullet capture and redirect lighting fast rounds mid-flight.
Someone, was using portal magic, and on a scale he had never seen.
A blade burning with the light of dying stars swings forth, and vanishes. Banished, to the abyss of deep space. Rent just in front of Yoake's backside was a portal. It was, something similar to the teleportation effects of Interstellar Butt, something that arose from the same principles, twisted and improvised to entrap the weapon... and to bring it to bear against its former wielder.
As the two collide, the girl swings her hips. There is a pause, a brief one, but one long enough for her to have made a one-liner had she felt like it. And then, an explosion. Yoake tumbles away, the blade still trapped by her portal, the hilt protruding from her butt like the world's least practical buttplug. She's, hurt, but not too hurt, she had the Yuki's shield to bear the brunt of the blast, and had made sure to disengage after the attack, not like she could've held on anyway.
Coming to a rest beside her, is 01's blasted and severed arm.
Somehow, 01 continues moving, storm clouds blowing from what's left of its arm, and the slash that had half-burnt half-exploded its way diagonally across almost the entire width of its torso. Noriko descends, and brings out her spear, it slams into her with an electrical screech and continues going, be it from what energy it has left or just simple the momentum of its dying form, she can't tell. The pair careens back, Noriko skidding upon howling winds to counteract its movement. It's slowing, but not fast enough. She passes through a barrier, Rho Aias. A split second later, 01's gatling slams against the same barrier.
For a moment, nothing happens. They seem to have come to a dead stop. But then, cracks race across the shield's surface. Then it shatters, the weapon slamming into Faith's barrier behind it but failing to go any further. Before it can do anything, if it was even capable of doing anything even, the roar of a chainsaw signals its demise. The Storm Mind expires upon Noriko's spear, cleaved in half by Yuki.
Soon enough, the world returns to normal, and everyone finds themselves standing in or around the classroom once more. Mr. Honda has been stabilized and you can hear the ambulances approaching. Outside, you can see students gathering semi-orderly as per the protocol for fire evacuation.
Noriko was able to get in way of the attack despite her low roll as the charge was predictable and it wasn't continuous - it was a series of bursts, so she had enough time to get in the way, plus it was mortally wounded and severely damaged at that point, which slowed it down a bit.
