"Did… did I just get hit?"

The incident had happened so suddenly that he wasn't entirely sure. It wasn't until Sylas spoke that he fully grasped the situation.

"Ugh!?"

As soon as their wooden swords clashed, Leon felt a spark of pain flare on his forehead again. Sylas's sword had struck precisely the same spot.

Leon staggered backward, eyes wide in disbelief.

"What on earth…!?"
