Chapter 165- Ally

[Next morning]

Two figures could be seen currently moving on the grass field.

Adrian and Ariana had time today to do some light sparring, so they took the chance, and here they were.

*Huff* *Huff*

Adrian panted as they came to a small pause, staring at each other.

Ariana was unfazed, waiting for another assault. 

"Here I come," He vanished from her sight, appearing right in front of her with a sudden burst of speed.

She barely leaned back—his fist brushed just inches past her chin.

"Oh?" she whispered with a grin. "You've been holding back on me."

She spun around, ducked under his next strike, and slid to his side. Her palm tapped his ribs lightly, like a warning.

"Too slow," she teased, winking.

Adrian didn't reply. He stepped back, then suddenly lunged again—this time feinting a left hook before going low with a sweeping kick.

But Ariana leapt over it effortlessly, landing behind him like a dancer on air.
