For the rest of the following day, Linda had expected to think about the spar a few times throughout the day, but she hadn't expected to be checking the time even before their first lesson was over.
Painfully, there were still several hours left, and looking at the clock wasn't going to make them pass any faster. She turned back to the instructor, who was explaining some of the mistakes made during the previous day's practical assessment, and forced herself to listen.
That only worked until he started talking about maintaining distance against an opponent with greater reach.
'That sword will be a problem.' Linda thought to herself without even realizing it.
She had already seen how easily the Great Swordsman controlled the space around Dustin and Raul's summons. Getting past the sword wasn't enough either. They had managed to do that more than once, but always ended up standing somewhere the Swordsman apparently wanted them to be.
