Chapter 294 - 295 Royal Guards
"Did you use Mana to boost your speed?"
"No, that was just my normal speed; I don’t use Mana when sparring," Ethan spoke as he adjusted his sword.
The rest of the guards were suddenly invested in their fight; at first, they all thought Ethan was a classic mage, good with long-range spells and bad at close combat, but they were far from correct.
With the speed he displayed just now, he would qualify as a Royal guard coupled with the fact that he is a good mage, but Ethan would never accept the job.
The black-haired guard took a stance; now that she knew how fast Ethan was, she was prepared for it.
Ethan smirked as he adjusted his grip on the sword. The black-haired guard no longer looked as confident as before. Now that she had seen his speed, she was taking him seriously.
"Alright, let’s go again," she said, raising her sword.
Ethan dashed forward, but this time, he swung his sword mid-step.
The guard barely blocked in time, her arms shaking slightly from the impact.
She quickly countered with a slash aimed at his shoulder, but Ethan dodged effortlessly, stepping to the side and moving backward a little.
"You’re not bad," she admitted, her grin returning, "Why did you hide your speed, were you trying to catch me by surprise"
