78 Ch. 78: I'm Here [3]

When the sword lunged at him, Adrian rolled sideways.

—Whack!

Nathaniel's sword jabbed the earth beneath, sending dust and debris flying.

Wasting no more time, Adrian immediately leaped backward to create some distance.

Right after Adrian landed, he hastily stood on guard stance.

The black-haired boy straightened his posture and pulled his weapon before turning to the white-haired boy behind him.

Adrian's eyebrow arched in surprise as he noticed the stark difference in his brother's demeanor.

Nathaniel's face was alight with a radiant smile, a stark contrast to the gloom that hung over him earlier.

It seemed he grew more comfortable with each passing time of the sparring.

Soon, Nathaniel beamed a proud smile and spoke.

"I never knew that fighting you directly like this would be more fun than watching you fight."
