"Shut the hell up!"

Said Ryo, who was so upset, suddenly pointed his sword at them.

Sam snorted and smirked mockingly to Ryo, "You are the one who needs to shut up, kid. Or the Phantom Assassin himself will cut down your throat."

In a flash of a second, Sebastian's movements became blurry in his sight. Ryo used his ability to read his movements and almost got stabbed right in the center of his neck.

Ryo quickly parried his attack with one swing of his hand.

For a few moments, the clanging sound of thunder sounded so loud, neither of them wanted to budge.

People that were practicing in silence watched the sparring. Until finally, Ryo bounced back when he received a kick in the chest.

Whuuusshh swiishhhh tink, tink!!

Clash after clash continued until they forgot the bet.

It had been 15 minutes, and Ryo didn't want to stop even though he was already drenched in sweat.

"You were so focused on the fancy frontal attacks that you forgot to look for my gap," Sebastian said calmly.
