Bab 207: En Garde, Pret, Allez!

  Sweat was already dripping from her back and her forehead. Her first opponent wasn't 002. It was a warm-up for her and she won 3 points ahead. She then looked at Alexa on the other hand who nodded her head. They mentioned that she needs to reserve her energy for the next battle. She will focus on her game with 002 for now. She won't show off her moves, not yet. 

"Come on, Zia!" Yves cheered up as she got the last touch. She exhaled and stepped back upon taking the last score. Then, she went to her bench and her coach congratulated her but they eyed the girl who seemed to have reached that goal already. She's not scared because no matter what the score, she will be safe. That's what Victor told her. Victor approached her and patted her. 

"Good job." He mumbled. "Reserve your energy. Okay?" 

  She nodded her head. The coach approached them and looked at Victor. 

"That one is quite sadistic." She said.
