Akel didn't have time to react as the glowing orb was struck and sent a blinding light throughout the room Akel and co were in. It made things noticeably worse due to the fact that she was a faunus and her rather sensitive hearing. The white-haired girl had dropped to her knees in pain, her hands clutching her headset while her eyes remained shut with the blinding light. The only sounds that she was capable of making were groans of pain that weren't even audible to herself thanks to the glowing orb.
