Chapter 77: Lugan Village (8)
Had this happened 6 months ago, I wouldn’t have realized the reason why I had managed to win.
Perhaps I would have simply been happy because I had defeated my Teacher.
Thinking, “Even a professional like Rachel can make mistakes sometimes, huh?”
I would make a fool of myself without realizing this was intentional.
During these six months, Rachel and I sparred many times.
Among those, I managed to score some wins, but never had my victories felt this hollow.
Rachel was always someone who put her all into everything she did.
She would never let her guard down, never made a mistake, and certainly...never went easy on me.
That’s why I naturally assumed that the opening shown by her was some sort of bait, and I pretended to fall for it, but......
Smack-!
My precise kick connected with Rachel’s left calf, which I was sure she would have dodged, and for the first time ever, Rachel’s body soared in the air.
