Chapitre 171: Natsuki Lea's Backstory II

Stepping into the ring, Lea was confident that she'd be able to win against anyone... provided that she wouldn't be pitted against a Hound, of course.

Unexpectedly, another young lady stepped into the ring with her, a lithe woman who goes by the name Yumi. Just on her name alone, Lea knew that she was a Hound. 

"Just my luck." She clicked her tongue as she assumed her stance. 

"Ready?" Kuroda asked, his gaze flicking between them.

Lea and Yumi both nodded. "Begin!" 

Yumi moved first, her body a blur as she darted towards Lea... but she was ready. Her torso hardened into a shield of muscle, deflecting Yumi's strikes with ease. She countered with a powerful punch, but Yumi dodged, her movements fluid and graceful.
