Chapter 94: Grey haired kid
The sword was about to stab into Riven’s chest. She cracked a smile, seeing her sword shoot to hit the target, but suddenly Riven’s lips curled up into a smile. He immediately kicked back, moving at a speed that was almost twice hers.
He parried her sword while moving back, completely stopping the attack. Mia’s eyes widened when she saw this. She had already committed all to that attack, and he managed to get through it easily.
She planted her feet into the ground, stopping her motion, but before she could make a retreat, Riven had already charged in.
’You might have years of sword training with you, but unlike you, I have sword mastery.’
He slashed with his full strength, and she tried to block. Because she was already retreating in her steps, she tripped and fell immediately as the sword landed on hers.
She was on the ground with his sword pointed at her neck. She stared at it with wide eyes. She had lost—her, the prodigy from the Runeblade family. She was defeated in such a manner, and in front of everyone.
There was more she could have done, but Riven suppressed her from all angles. He was like a banner stretched over her—she couldn’t do anything.
"I see the both of you had quite the spar." Quin walked up to them. He briefly glanced at Riven before helping Mia off the ground.
’So that’s their rank one. No special family name, the son of a baron. Nothing really stands out about him, yet he is quite good with the sword,’ Quin thought.
