He should have known what was coming considering Jay's military career however, Michael did not act immediately as he sensed no use of the Power and he was sure that Jay was not one to throw away his life killing an official Ambassador. It did make him wonder though. If it had been a knife would he have been able to stop it in time? Another lesson to ponder.
As soon as Matias crumpled, he held up a hand to stop the other Rods from embracing the Power and filled himself with it, almost to his full strength. He spun a simple web of Air and swung hard and fast, a club beating at Jay's head causing his eyes to roll up and drop just as he did to Matias. Michael was careful not to hit too hard. He didn't want to kill the man. It was a shame, he thought he could get along with Jay. He hoped the man was not one to hold grudges. "Sanjay, please help Matias, give him a little wake up, even if we can't heal him," he spoke to the Indian man who nodded and made his way to Matias.
"Julian, Samuel, would you kindly take Jay to the cells. Set some of the students to watch over him and bring him some paracetamol. Let the headache be a lesson," he commanded and the other two Rods obeyed, Samuel somewhat sheepishly, Julian with a snicker.
He sighed under his breath, still holding the Power and a web ready to deter Matias from any foolish retaliation and knelt by the man's side. "My apologies, Jay is one of the Ascendancy's Nine Rods and has a right to be here," technically Michael could have told him to stay away, but he did not like ordering the Rods unless absolutely necessary. Besides, as Jay had said it would be a good test upon seeing his face. "If you require healing, please let me know. Now, shall we start over?" It wasn't exactly a question but there was genuine sympathy in his voice.
[Mode with permission. Sorry for the headache.]
