Chapter 31: Liora's Breakthrough: A Blade Sharpened by Struggle

The instructor blinked in suprise for a moment before blocking the attack, noting the strength behind the blow.

'This force..' The instructor thought, she had never once felt this kind of strength whenever they had trained togehther. Liora's blows were always weak, and unrefined.

But this time they packed enough force to send small shockwaves coarsing through her. The sword instructor pushed Liora's sword back before going in for another slash, her sword missing Liora's face by mere inches as she bent to dodge the attack.

"Looks like you're finally starting to improve." The sword instructor commented with an amused expression, a smirk on her lips.

Liora remained silent as she chose to ignore her comment and charged in again, planting her feet to the ground and thrusting her sword forward in a quick stabbing motion.
