"Duck, Alicia!" Theo yells.
Alicia ducks in time, and the haelion's swipe passes just above her. If she had still been standing, the haelion would have snatched her.
"Now, Alicia!" Theo yells again.
Alicia quickly gets back to her feet and makes a slashing motion with her bamboo sword toward the flying haelion while yelling, "Wind Slash!"
A crescent of wind shoots fast toward the flying haelion and hits it perfectly.
The haelion shrieks and falls to the ground, dust flying everywhere.
"Woohoo! I did it!" Alicia pumps a fist into the air, excited.
Theo claps twice from where he is standing, about ten meters from where Alicia launched the Wind Slash.
"Excellent, Alicia. But you do realize that you don't need to yell anything, right? Even if you do, 'Wind Slash' is not the right incantation," Theo says.
Alicia grins. "I know. Wind Slash is the name of the skill I just performed."
Theo looks at her like he is talking to a madwoman.
