The first person I picked as Jessica’s opponent was Sienna Blake, whose nervous personality was evident in her face and actions.

Of course, you can’t judge a guy by his outward appearance alone.

Because it’s highly likely that you’ll be completely immersed as a professional spy.

In a word, it is a concept.

‘What do you look like behind that mask?’

Looking at Sienna, whose lips were protruding like a fish’s, he tightened the corners of his lips that were about to turn upward.

“Aren’t you using weapons?”

A question from Jessica, who is new to training.

“For now. Of course, once you get used to this training, the next step will be sparring with weapons.”

I answered kindly.

But as soon as I finished speaking, I heard several mutterings behind me.

‘This isn’t the end?’, ‘Even now, I do this every single day until my body is worn out… Do I have to fight with a weapon?’, ‘Then really… someone might die…’, etc.

As if they didn’t even want to imagine the training intensity that would become increasingly intense, soft screams were coming out from all over the place.

“Then, can I leave my equipment here?”

He answered by nodding his head.

Jessica removed the metal knee pads and spikes from her boots, and put down the sword she had on her waist.

Except for the fact that the uniform is a short skirt, all elements that could hinder bare-handed combat have been removed.

Siena, on the other hand, did nothing.

The training uniform he always wore looked as light as ever.

It looked more like an outfit for running as fast as possible than something worn for bare-handed combat training.

“If you’re ready, just start.”

“Fighting!”

“Don’t let your guard down! Your opponent is from the Karlstein faction!”

After a few voices from those around them that didn’t even sound like cheering, the full-scale duel between the two began.

“Haaa!”

As always, it was Sienna who moved first.

That’s his specialty.

I don’t know if it was because the concept he created worked against him, but the eccentric personality that was revealed on his face was also revealed in his fights.

A long life of adventure that has continued since childhood.

Especially the role of a guide.

As he always had to figure out the situation one step ahead of others, rather than waiting leisurely, he was the type to step forward, try something, and then watch his opponent’s movements to think about his next move.

It was said that there were more than one or two weapons that could be handled.

Perhaps because of this, he flexibly changed his stance according to the situation, and his overall body movements were fast and his reflexes were good.

But the opponent is one of the best talents in the training school.

As a child of a wealthy family, he would have studied under great teachers for a long time, and naturally, he would have graduated from the academy with top grades.

Her figure, standing firm with her legs spread apart and waiting for her prey, gave off a sense of stability and even elegance.

In a word, the standard bare-handed defense stance.

Sienna’s pointed fingertips aim for the opponent’s right eye.

But Jessica simply raised her arm to stop him.

A counterattack followed immediately.

“Ugh!”

A textbook-like attack on the regime.

The fist that was aimed precisely at the opponent’s forehead was fast and free of unnecessary elements, enough to make one exclaim, ‘Indeed.’

however.

“…!?”

Sienna, who was already accustomed to dog fighting, took a step forward without paying any attention to it.

Before Jessica could fully extend her outstretched arm, the target came forward first.

The fist landed squarely on the target’s forehead.

However, it could not carry full weight and did little damage to the opponent.

‘What are you aiming for?’

Jessica realized it too late.

That the stab that first came in aiming for his eyes was a bait.

The opponent had already predicted that he would simply block and counterattack.

“Eww!”

-Bang!

“…Cough!”

There was absolutely no way to stop the knee of his opponent, who was rising at incredible speed, aiming for his chin.

But I can’t just sit still.

My pride won’t allow it.

He was one of the first 20 people selected.

He is a cadet in the Karlstein class that everyone envies.

Eventually, she released all the magical power within her body, unconsciously stretched out both hands, and pushed the opponent hard.

The opponent was completely unexpected of that sudden action.

There’s no way it can be done.

From the beginning, this fight was a type of martial arts training that limited the use of offensive magic power.

Sienna, who was thrown like a thrown load, rolled on the floor twice before barely regaining her composure.

However, one knee was stuck to the ground, and blood was gushing from the corner of his mouth.

Since I was in the middle of a battle, I was able to protect myself with my magic power, but if I had made a mistake, all of my internal organs would have ruptured and I would have fallen to the ground.

“What are you doing, Siena!? I told you not to let your guard down!?”

In fact, I never once said not to use magic.

They didn’t use it while they were attacking on their own, and only used it defensively to protect their bodies.

It’s just that I couldn’t openly tell him to use his magic power to attack and kill his opponent.

If you do that, not only the other instructors but also the director himself will step in and impose sanctions.

There was no choice but to keep at least the bare minimum.

‘But not today…’

Since we’ve already started this, we have to see it through to the end.

Either they’re being sincere or they reveal their true identities.

So, as if I knew nothing, I only criticized Sienna for losing the battle.

“Just now…”

I immediately turned my head and met eyes with Amber, who was opening her mouth.

Shut your mouth.

Then he turned his head again and spoke to Sienna, who was kneeling on the floor and vomiting blood.

“That’s all you did? What was that attack just now? Who in the world would allow such a cheap knee kick! Don’t think you’ve foreseen the next move, you should have thought about what’s coming next!”

“……”

The guy gets up quietly from his seat.

His face, which is usually irritated and angry, is unusually expressionless now.

Another trickle of blood runs down the less-cleaned bloodstain on his chin.

It was the moment when the drop of blood on his chin could not withstand gravity and fell to the floor.

Sienna’s entire body accelerated like the wind.

It was a tremendous speed that had never been seen before.

‘That thing has released its magic power…’

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

These are the words that have been engraved in the guys’ heads as they have been repeating bare-handed combat training for the past few days.

As if he had learned this, he used the magical power of the wind element he possessed to explosively accelerate.

A fist that approaches and slams in an instant.

Jessica avoids it again.

Counterattack, counterattack again… attack again, then defend.

The two entangled figures exchanged countless attacks and defenses at extremely close range.

It wasn’t Sienna’s face that was slowly distorting.

It was Jessica’s face as she faced her.

The skin that was once like a well-managed baby’s skin began to wrinkle and the scratches began to turn red and swollen one by one.

Some split open and burst out blood, while others were trapped inside, unable to escape, and turned blue.

It wasn’t Siena’s face that was holy.

But to her, it was a daily routine that was so natural.

Today, his expressionless face seemed to be smiling at first glance.

The intensity of the battle was different from the usual dog fights.

Because both of them released their magical powers.

Sienna, who is characterized by the element of wind, and Jessica, who is probably of the earth type.

If we compare the attack power itself, Jessica seems to be one step ahead, but Sienna, who has pushed her concentration to the limit, hardly gets hit.

‘It’s a battle of speed…’

It’s a move that knows very well what is advantageous to it.

Since the guy who was originally good at reflexes was able to turn around the wind’s magic, it was obvious that if the attack and defense continued like this, the one who would accumulate more damage would be the one who would do it.

‘but…’

But that doesn’t mean we can guarantee his victory.

‘The talent is different. The opponent is not one or two classes higher, but the best talent in the training school.’

Even if magic power is infinite, there is a limit to how much can be boiled and used at one time.

Of course, the amount varies from person to person, and people compare the difference in amount as a difference in talent.

I don’t know what level of magic Sienna has, but if she had the magic to run the training tower, she wouldn’t be in the difficult and dirty position of a spy right now.

He must have grown up little by little, receiving love from somewhere, and become an elite knight.

So even though it seemed like he was overwhelming now, the results were obvious.

“Wow!”

“That’s right! Just finish it off like that, Siena!”

But things were unfolding a little differently than I expected.

Jessica, who had been hit squarely in the face with the guy’s knee, began to tremble in her legs and fell forward, unable to bear it any longer.

He knelt down on both knees and placed his hands on the ground.

Blood was gushing from the corners of his mouth and nose, and it seemed as if tears were flowing.

‘That guy must…’

Perhaps because he was upset at being hit the first time, he managed to successfully land a knee attack.

The blow was so strong that Jessica, who was lying face down, could not get up easily.

“Surrender quickly. Or do you really want to die?”

Sienna stopped as she pretended to throw a soccer kick at Jessica’s prone head.

But Jessica, who thought a real attack was coming, was startled and lifted her upper body, then fell backwards without any strength.

I’m slowly coming to my senses.

It was so ugly.

I have to get up quickly.

That’s what it takes to maintain pride.

But if I keep holding on like this, I might end up getting beaten to death by that crazy bitch.

In that moment of terror, Jessica could no longer continue the fight.

Above all, I could not feel any strength in my waist and legs.

“I lost… I lost.”

The declaration of surrender was surprisingly simple.

The fight was a complete victory for Sienna Blake.
