Wizard...Jared had never thought of himself in those terms before, but perhaps it would be a good nickname for him. He wondered if it would stick. There were more important matters at hand though, so Jared turned his thoughts away from them and focused on his air shield.
Jared had put in ear plugs, but the sound of the gun still made him flinch slightly. His hearing was augmented by the mana in his system and he wasn't expecting the sound to be so loud. Jared expected the bullet to stop upon hitting the shield of air, so he was somewhat disappointed when the bullet hit the piece of wood.
Something was off though. The wood didn't shatter as it should have and it had the board far below Jay's trajectory. There was no way a Legionnaire could have missed that badly at this range. He shield had worked, but not to the degree he thought.
Jared signaled to Jay to stop firing. He needed to investigate this more. Jared summoned a ball of light and moved it towards the hole in the plywood. It spanned a few inches across and Jared used his enhanced sight to search for the bullet. He spotted it rolling on the floor. It had apparently lost enough momentum to not go into the concrete wall on the other side.
Jared released his shield of air, realizing for the first time that he had used multiple spells at once. He grabbed the bullet with an air spell and dismissed the sphere of light as he brought the bullet to his outstretched hand. He examined it, seeing that the front side of the bullet was unnaturally warped.
Jared threw the bullet to Jay. "It worked, but wasn't strong enough."
Jared was about to tell Jay to fire again, but his eyes went to the man's leg. "How's your leg holding up. You need a break, or should we continue?"
