Eliana's threat made an almost palpable tension pierce the space of the training room.
However, Rain only laughed happily.
"Alright, alright, I appreciate your fighting spirit, sister. So I'll even make things easier for you and tell you in advance what my wish for victory will be."
"..."
"Obey me in everything for the next month. That's all."
The grip on her long rapier grew tighter at those words, and her gaze was ready to pierce him.
"Now, if you don't mind, let's get started."
Rain took the first step forward, then abruptly lunged at her.
The training room became the stage for a deadly dance, a brutal waltz dictated by the clang of steel.
Rain, wielding his black, slightly curved sword, moved with a predatory grace that belied his raw power.
Her graceful rapier pierced through the space with lightning-fast mastery. However, his blade easily met her rapier, deflecting it aside.
Eliana's eyes twitched.
