章 93: Opportunity in battle

A direct strike. Ciona's outstretched fingers seemed like small daggers flying towards Kizaer. He stepped aside and extended his left hand, striking Ciona's wrist, changing the trajectory of the blow to another direction and leaving the girl's rib completely open for a lethal strike.

Ciona took advantage of the diverted force of her own blow to perform a half-turn and kick Kizaer at the height of his bladder with the spinning movement. Kizaer jumped back, creating space between him and Ciona.

The two continued to stare at each other for a few moments. Both were already used to fighting these training fights against each other for a long time, and that moment would not be broken so soon. In fact, right after Kizaer redirected Ciona's blow, the girl had a tiny lapse in concentration, but as soon as she realized who it was, she regained her focus, knowing she could use everything she had against her friend without a problem.
