"Aaaaaaaah!!"
Crash–! Stab–!
The sound rang out sharply as Rinna fell, and the short-handed sword slipped from her grasp and stabbed into the concrete floor beside her.
With her eyes half opened she straightened her head, and tried to stand up.
"...?!"
A silvery sword hovered at her throat.
"Haaaaahh… haaah…"
Rinna huffed, gasping as her chest rose and fell rapidly.
Sweat clung to her skin, and her legs weakened as she struggled to steady herself.
There was no denying it anymore.
She was exhausted. But her opponent stood directly in front of her.
His name was Cyan Miller.
A boy she had barely paid attention to before today.
Ranked 4th, just below her. He was Strong, that much was obvious now, but still. Rinna was Rank Three. She was supposed to be stronger than him?
But… This was not how it should have ended.
The duel lasted just over three minutes.
