Billy assumed a defensive stance again to see how Natalie would fight that day. Much to his surprise, she looked more composed despite the fact that she was exhausted. After taking a deep breath, Natalia dashed toward Billy and swung her sword toward his left side. He moved his staff to block the attack, but Natalia stopped and tossed her sword to her left hand at the last moment. Before Billy could fix his stance, Natalia grabbed his staff with her right hand, grabbed her weapon, and swung toward him.

In the end, Billy had to do the unthinkable… he let his sword go since he wasn ’t strong enough to pull it back in an instant and retreat. He should have just accepted the pain of the strike instead of letting his weapon go… for a warrior. That was unacceptable.

”I guess my mentality is nowhere near at the right level for fighting… ” Billy thought.

”See? I told you it wouldn ’t end up in the same way, ” Natalie said with a big smile on her face.

”Not bad, but I won ’t fall for the same trick again, ” Billy said. ”Did you come up with better strategies overnight? ”

Natalie ’s smile froze since she indeed spent the night training and reviewing the spar of the previous day. Since she was just a kid, she thought that a single strategy would be enough. Soon Billy taught her that it wouldn ’t.
