72 - Second Chance

Elijah didn't need to be fast at math or calculate the exact number.

187 health was less than 200 damage, so it was obvious that he would be dead.

'Alyssa…'

It filled him with regret. He should have been more ruthless and efficient in his methods. Subconsciously, he held back because he was a human being. He wasn't a psychopath.

"Hachoo!"

Hikaru sneezed mid-attack in Kendo sparring. His posture faltered.

Aito went in for a strike to the head.

"Hah-Hah!"

Hikaru ended the spar with his practice sword pointed at his opponent's neck.

The students who were supposed to be sparring exclaimed in surprise and applauded Hikaru.

"Haha, nice! Sorry, I took advantage, I guess I wanted to win so bad!" Aito said, rubbing the back of his head.

"It's alright. Judging the best moment to strike is part of Ma. You made the right call."
