Testing The Princess's Abilities (II)

"Oh, you would," Tobias muttered, summoning a long, single-edged blade from his inventory with a burst of shimmering light. "Alright. Let's see what you've got, Princess."

Celeste didn't waste time.

A blue shimmer ran across her hand as she reached into her storage ring, summoning two twin swords — thin, curved like crescent moons, with wind runes etched into their blades.

Tobias raised a brow. "Wind affinity?"

"Mid-tier mastery," she replied confidently.

They stood a few paces apart.

Then the wind stilled for a moment, just a breath before the match began.

Celeste moved first.

She lunged forward with a dancer's grace, her blades moving in a whirling rhythm as she slashed toward Tobias's side.

He parried with one hand, easily knocking her away, but she flowed into a spinning motion and came at him from the opposite side.
