Jessica blinked in disbelief as Leo stepped forward to face her, as a sharp, self-deprecating laugh escaped her lips.
"Seriously?" she scoffed, her grip tightening around her spear. "Yu Shen sent you? An underclassman to face me? Is that how little he thinks of me?"
Her voice was laced with fury as she dropped into a low stance, the tip of her spear digging into the sand.
Leo didn't answer.
He simply narrowed his eyes, tilting his head slightly with a look that said it all, as he made the 'Bitch, please—' expression.
He offered no words of retort, no theatrics.
As frankly, He did not give a rat's ass about how insulted she felt.
Because, if she thought she deserved a better opponent than him, she was about to get one hell of a reality check.

"Fighter's ready? Begin—-"
The referee announced, as both Leo and Jessica carefully approached one another at a steady pace.
