Training session [3]

Anya bent forward a little in Roclus's direction, holding onto her sword with only her right hand she raised it in the air. She then started channeling manna throughout her body and sword; the golden-colored light on her blade shone more brightly.

She was pretty average in handling mana though since she had learned to do so only after coming to the academy; before then all the battles she fought relied on raw strength. Due to this, she took a bit more time than usual to get her body ready.

It would've taken only a few seconds longer than usual but Roclus was already out of patience. With a scream he dashed toward Anya, holding his sword above his right shoulder with both his arms.

-Boom!

-Clank!

A second later Roclus was standing frozen to his feet in the middle of the arena, his hands were in front of him in a pose as if holding a sword, but they were holding nothing but the air.
