Chapter 496 Instructor Versus Student
Cold winds blew.
The chilling darkness of the night once again shrouded the entire world.
Usually, by this time, most of the people living in cities were resting, with only a few still active.
Among these active night owls were two people whose eyes were ablaze with fighting spirit, standing across each other with serious gazes.
After eating, Shye and Fienna chatted for around thirty more minutes before walking towards Valenzia City's dueling grounds--a moderately sized open area with small stages.
With a simple registration from the grounds' staff members, even visitors could use the area to spar with each other.
Naturally, such an exciting place had some battle enthusiasts as onlookers who were hoping to witness some impressive battles from random individuals.
There were even a few scouts from some hopeful adventurer guilds present, aiming to poach random talented adventurers from other guilds that captured their attention.
...Despite his status as a rookie, Shye was fairly famous within Valenzia city.
Hence, it was inevitable that there were lots of people who immediately recognized him upon arrival.
As a result, lots of people were now watching his fight with Fienna, who seemed to not care one bit about the growing crowd.
She knew that there was a high chance she would lose, yet, her eyes never once wavered, gazing straight towards Shye with intense battle intent.
She might lose, but she wasn't about to lose badly.
As for Shye, this battle was rather difficult for his heart, but he knew he had to fight his instructor with everything he had.
Otherwise, it would simply be disrespectful.
"Prepare yourself, Crowley!"
Armed with a wooden tachi, Fienna ferociously bolted towards Shye, deciding to start the battle with such a bold move.
Naturally, Shye would never shy away from a direct confrontation.
With two wooden greatswords in his hands, Shye's attributes rose to their peak, allowing him to far surpass Fienna in terms of physicality.
Yet, he didn't dare underestimate this instructor of his.
He knew that although she might not have overwhelming strength and speed, her combat techniques were top-notch, to the point where she was able to fight toe to toe against the diamond-ranked adventurers who tried to assassinate them on the way back from the Adventurer Academy Competition.
He then activated [Blades of Despair] and charged towards Fienna once more.
Shye knew that his instructor was adept at parrying blows, hence, he planned to catch her off guard using this skill.
'Parry this, you filt-- err, my respected instructor!'
Repeating the same motion, Shye knew that his instructor would try to parry his attack.
"Hmph! What are you doing, Crowley? I taught you better than to repeat attacks, didn't I?"
His guess was spot on.
If there was a huge disparity between them, it was their intelligence attributes, hence, Shye was able to easily outsmart his instructor.
Angling her wooden katana perfectly, Fienna waited for Shye's greatswords to slide off the edges of her blade.
However, their swords didn't even make contact as Shye's swords merely passed through hers, causing her eyes to widen in shock and alarm.
Unfortunately for Fienna, her quick attempt to try and jump backward to dodge was way too late.
Hence, the wooden greatswords easily slashed through her body, sapping a good amount of her stamina and mana.
"Ahh!"
Since she was new to the sensation of having her energies destroyed, Fienna unintentionally let out a light moan.
'F*ck! Why did she have to...'
As a result, poor Shye, who was currently struggling to control his sexual urges, suffered a sudden mental counterattack from Fienna—his little brother stiffening up inappropriately.
He continued attacking.
However, despite slightly slower movements this time, Fienna knew better than to parry his attacks.
Hence, she easily evaded Shye's attacks, sneaking a few blows of her own in the process.
Well, Shye's movements got slower due to his second head's vigor.
His difficulties naturally gave Fienna an easier time.
"Crowley, are you mocking me? Didn't you say you'll fight me seriously?!"
