Shirone responded by swinging his sword down with all his might.

With the sound of the clashing blades, a sword soared into the sky and embedded itself far away from the training ground.

Silence.

The two who breathed in harsh, rugged breaths stared at each other.

Rian lowered his gaze first.�

He saw Shirone�s sword pointing at his stomach.

�Just before our swords clashed��

Shirone swung his wrist and struck Rian�s sword from the bottom.

In addition to the force brought about by Shirone�s swing, Rian, who was also low on stamina from having to block the continuous strikes from Shirone, eventually lost his grip on the sword.

�Is that even possible?�

It was not a technique Rian could attempt with confidence.

His sole purpose was to win, and due to his cool-headedness, Shirone won the duel. However, he did not relax.

�Haah� Haah.�

He wanted to immediately lay on the ground, but he couldn�t let Rian nullify his hard-earned victory.

And in the next moment.

�Dang it. I lost��

Rian passively admitted his defeat.

�Ah, I lost. I lost again.�

His malice disappeared, and instead, Rian just scratched his head roughly.

He trained past� his limits and fought as best as he could, so he didn�t have any regrets.

�You won. I have nothing else to say, so you may now kill me.�

How could someone be so immature?

�Are you kidding me?�

�What?�

�You think I�ll survive if I kill you? What a ridiculous thing to say.�

�What do you mean? We fought with our lives on the line, and there was a clear winner.�

�Young master, you�re the only one who laid your life on the line! I just fought FOR my life! What makes this ridiculous duel more absurd is that this only started because you hid from training, and then blamed me for snitching on you.� JrNovels.com
