Aurelia's gauntlet shot forward, leaving a clean, precise blow to his chest and—
Thud
Kael stumbled half a step back, the air leaving his lungs for an instant.
"Got you."
Aurelia grinned.
"…"
Kael only stared at her in silence, his eyes scanning her every movement while the General's grin widened.
"I like that look you have on your face."
She tried to provoke, but again, Kael didn't react. After all, time was on his side—the more time he was given in the battle, the better for him.
Aurelia obviously did not know that, but now that she sensed Kael's weakness, she wanted to end it as quickly as possible. Seeing as he wasn't giving in to her provocation like the usual young minds with more power in their hands than they deserved, the General decided to continue fighting.
She would treat this as her giving him a practical lesson. After all, what Kael had shown her just now was already more than enough to impress her.
"Let's continue then."
