Chapter 156: Three Grand Structure?
A soothing golden glow enveloped Orion and Sylvia instantly, diffusing their battle fervor. Their breathing slowed, hearts calming down as clarity returned swiftly to their eyes.
"Enough you two," Arya's gentle voice echoed clearly, her expression speechless. "You both fought well. Let's stop here before someone gets hurt."
Sylvia exhaled slowly, lowering her sword and stepping back. She smiled faintly, clearly impressed. "Your potential is frightening, Orion. I'm convinced."
Orion relaxed his stance and closed his eyes, restricting his instinct again before exhaling deeply as he sheathed Realm Guardian. "You were amazing as well, Sylvia. It was quite helpful for me to find my flaws."
Sylvia chuckled lightly, acknowledging his sincerity with a nod. "I'll accept your offer. Being able to spar with you from time to time is enough of a benefit for me to join."
A light chuckle left Orion's lips, "Well, that's quite good for me as well."
Sylvia nodded her head, "Yes, hardly anyone can keep up with me among the younger generation. I'll challenge you soon… I need more experience to break through to Tier 3."
"Sure, I also need to learn more about the sword from you." He nodded with a smile.
The crowd erupted into animated chatter, excitement palpable. Students began dissecting the incredible spar, their eyes shining with newfound admiration and curiosity.
Arya stepped closer, gently patting Orion's shoulder with a proud, mischievous smile. "This was a true miracle, Brother Orion. You truly never fail to amaze me."
"…Do you truly have so little trust in me?" He asked with mock disappointment.
Arya playfully chuckled, "Of course not, but it's really hard to believe you fought to a standstill against her when your skills during the last match… Mmm let's not talk about that."
