"I've just entered the military, and I'm already being compared to you… constantly," said Li Jieyu. "I don't like it."
"And? You want to spar with me and prove them wrong or something?"
"Are you kidding? I may be prideful, but I am not stupid. I know that I have no chance of defeating you in my current state. I want to see how big that disparity is so I know how much I need to improve to beat you."
"Is that so?" Yuan smiled. "Well, let me save you the time and some pain. You won't."
"I won't what?" Li Jieyu frowned.
"You won't ever catch up to me."
"..."
Li Jieyu narrowed her eyes at him, looking like she'd just found her archenemy.
"They weren't joking when they said you were arrogant. People always say my arrogance is second to none. They wouldn't be saying that if they'd met you."
"Or maybe you're scared? Because you heard that I'd nearly beaten all of your records during recruitment?"
