Combat Class (2)

Clank...

As my Katana collided with the Mana Arrow, it jerked backwards, causing my entire hand to go numb. I frowned as I felt my grip on the weapon loosen.

"..."

I focused my gaze on Katarina's shoulders instead of her face. I was aware that she was somewhat emotionless and trying to read her next move from her expression was practically impossible.

I stood a much better chance of avoiding her attacks if I observed her hand movements.

Click...

As Katarina pulled the bowstring, I observed the tension in her muscles before she released another projectile.

This time, I was more than ready to avoid it. I almost smirked as the arrow passed by me, but the smile vanished the next second.

Pluck...

However, to my surprise, the arrow that was supposed to hit the ground suddenly made a drastic curve, impaling my shin and causing me to fall to my knee.

The arrow had changed its trajectory completely, acting like a boomerang and taking away my mobility in a split second.

"Shit..."
