Upon hearing Victor, Noah's entire demeanor noticeably changed.
Although he was only Level 15, and although his true hidden talent, [Sword Heart], had yet to awaken, the moment he held a sword, his entire attention seemed to instantly converge upon the blade.
'Just one thrust,' he thought in his heart, trying to calm his nerves.
Bang!
He dashed forward and thrust his sword directly toward Victor.
Shing!
Victor raised his sword to block simultaneously.
Clang!
The first strike was deflected, sparks flashing from their point of collision.
But unlike an ordinary student who would reset their stance after having an attack blocked, Noah rotated his wrist naturally the moment his blade was knocked aside. His second strike immediately transformed into a horizontal slash.
'Smooth!' The smile on Victor's face grew.
Despite Noah's smooth transition, Victor blocked again and this time followed with a kick that sent Noah skidding back a few metres.
