"Hm… that's definitely an improvement," Quinn said, her voice calm but approving as she watched Sera slice through the wooden mannequin.
The impact sent a shiver through the air. Sera's blunt sword cut deep enough to split the training dummy in half, all from the sheer force of her footwork.
"You… huff… think?" Sera asked between heavy breaths, bending forward with her hands resting on her knees. Sweat dripped from her chin and splattered onto the rocky floor beneath her feet.
Quinn spun her wooden practice sword with one hand and slid it back into the rack. "Yes," she said, smiling faintly. "You learn fast… after all.."
Her eyes moved to the far corner of the cave, where another mannequin had been completely obliterated. Splinters littered the floor, and a sizable dent marred the wall behind it. That one had gone flying after Sera combined her footwork with a mana burst.
Quinn sighed.
Lydia's going to kill me when she sees this room.
