Chapter 102:Practical Preparation [3]

For the next thirty minutes, the two of us sparred about three times, where I won once while she won twice, tying the score at 2-2.

It was clear that she had the upper hand in terms of technique and strength, as my losses came from my inability to attack her due to her perfect stance.

However, I still managed to clinch another win through my... creativity.

Through plays that she would never think of, like throwing my sword at her or allowing myself to get hit so I could grab her wrist and twist it, I had gained an advantage.

Some would call it being so dumb that your opponent couldn't possibly expect it, but I would consider it amazing battle IQ.

During our spars, I could feel my technique slowly growing as, after the end of each small fight, I would immediately change my grip on my sword, attempting to block out the flaws that she revealed in her attacks toward me.

This would just be considered newbie gains.
