Clank...
Tess felt her hand jerk backward as her rapier made contact with Drake's massive greatsword, producing a loud metallic sound that echoed throughout the arena.
"..."
She tightly pressed her lips together, eyeing the blond man in front of her with a mix of determination and joy as she felt happy whilst fighting a worthy opponent.
"You've gotten stronger!"
Drake exclaimed, rotating his shoulder as if he was hurt from the previous exchange. His green eyes also burnt with excitement, but flames of competition danced within them as well.
He was also enjoying this combat dance.
Clank...
They clashed the weapons for the second time drawing all sorts of reactions from the spectators gathering around the arena.
While Tess and Drake were enjoying the battle, other students were betting on the winner, placing sums of money and hoping to go home with a profit.
