Vinia

A sword made a beautiful arc in arc and struck down another sword.

*Clang*

The two two figures - a young woman and a relatively old man instantly got away from each other and stared.

"Your swordsmanship is still the same. It has strength but lacks dignity." Lunov, the butler in charge of taking care of her, said in a disappointed voice.

"Enough of your bullshit. There are no dignified sword fights in wars. It is a weapon to kill or spar. Nothing less, nothing more." The young woman sheathed her sword. She was very pissed at her sword instructor always saying the same thing over and over again.

Hearing her complain, Lunov didn't appear angry. "This is where you are misunderstanding, Young Miss. A dignified sword can be both ruthless and strong."

"Then what makes my sword not a dignified sword?" 

"It lacks dignity."

"..." The young woman said nothing. She unsheathed her sword again and went for a strike.

*Clang*
