CHAPTER 17 - Lady Archer

　　The snow fell slowly, pouring on my head while the rain drizzled too. I suspected it was due to my transformation, that I couldn’t feel much of the weather.

　　My sword dragged on the floor, making linings on the snow that fell. And breeze blew off my already short hair, which I had earlier cut.

　　I must win.

　　I had to win.

　　If I wanted to defeat Knight Lydia, I had to pass the hurdle.

　　By defeating Elder Zu himself.

　　“Come on!”

　　Master Zu exclaimed, stretching his hands forward.

　　I suddenly began running towards him, swaying my sword as I ran in the air. Instead of a sword, Master Zu took out a wooden stick.

　　What was he doing?
