Sweat had already broke from Jade's face yet not a single strand of hair had strayed from Isadora's head. She had to admit Isadora was strong, but not giving her the satisfaction of winning. It would be a disgrace to her if she was defeated in front of the knights.
She tried to attack this time but Isadora was faster. Moving in what could be termed as a blur, she had effortlessly dodged Jade's attack and given a slash to some flesh. Blood painted the tip of her sword as she stared at it blankly. She looked like one who had been possessed!
The drops of blood falling on the ground brought realization to her, shock and surprise taking the better part of her once calm expression. She turned around gasping at what she had done.
Quickly dropping her sword on the ground, she crouched low to a lift the face of a bleeding Jade. Funny enough, Jade was smiling.
"You did it Isadora. You unlocked your potential!"
