CLANG!
Steel met steel again. Felicia's blade striking from the right in a high arc.
Javier tilted his katana, letting the blow glance off with perfect control.
He didn't move much.
The impact echoed lightly, and he let out a faint smirk behind the mask.
Whoa…
This girl's fast.
His eyes tracked her every movement.
And she's still holding back.
Another clean step. Another lazy deflection.
Alright then…
He ducked under the next strike and let his blade rise in a narrow parry, guiding her sword away.
Let's see how strong she really is.
Felicia's left hand lifted gently.
Three magic circles formed midair.
One over her shoulder.
One under her feet.
One behind her blade.
Mana surged, glowing blue, white, and silver.
Without warning, she launched all three spells toward him at once.
And at the same time.
She dashed forward, blade lowered, body gliding with elegance and terrifying speed.
Her footwork was flawless.
But Javier… was already moving.
