Jared smirked and was going to respond to Jay's comment, but didn't as the boat landed on shore. Like Jay, Jared studied the topography before him, preparing himself in case the OS went out.
Having been a Marine, he had used the suits before and knew how to move in them, despite these being an older and bulkier model. He moved in formation, keeping his spot next to the man beside him, knowing that person had his back as much as he did.
The shell dropped and Jared barely flinched. It's difficult to not flinch when you are being shelled. He moved enough to keep himself from getting injured from debris. The suit would mostly protect them from shrapnel, but not from an actual missile.
The first blast was over, and dust had flown into the air. Jared was thankful for the filter on the suit that allowed him to still breathe. As they continued to move forward, Jared summoned his mana to prepare a shield spell.
Only, something was wrong. The spell - it wasn't there. No - it was. The pieces fell together quickly. He had done shielding spells before, this wasn't a new skill. He could feel the mana flowing, and could sense the side effects of it. His vision was keener and his hearing more acute.
It was the goddamn cameras. He couldn't see his spells through the cameras. Before a mistake could happen, Jared stopped the flows of his spell. "Fucking cameras,
Jared said, under his breath. "Jay, I need to get this helmet off. No wizardly wiles with it on."
He said as he raised his arm to block off debris from a second shell.
