DELIBERATELY LOSING

She stared down at him.

His breathing was heavy as he kneeled on the ground on his one knee. The back of his hand wiped the blood oozing out of his nose which almost broke due to Megara's strike. His skills were truly bad but they also weren't bad at all. She stumbled back while breathing heavily. The boy wasn't bad at all. He just needed a little more attention. His father...why does he not hire a personal instructor for his son? He was very persistent in making him leave his dream and attain the throne so why not hire someone to train his son as well?

The other two boys have long completed their fight and gone away. These two were still fighting. As she said, he wasn't good at martial arts. He was all beaten up but he was still not letting her win, he looked very desperate to win. She was perplexed by his desperate behavior to win. Seeing his behavior she deliberately held back for some reason.
