Defeated once again

As Ava took a fighting stand after arriving at the testing ground, Receptionist Elle shouted, "Are you ready, Miss Ava?"

"I'm ready!" Ava tightly gripped her dagger, ready to make her move.

"I'm also ready," Marcus shouted at Elle, and he thought, 'Although she looks much younger than Miss Julie, I won't make the same mistake and look down on her just because she is young.'

Since both of them were ready, Elle shouted, "Start!"

As soon as they heard Elle's shout, Marcus took a defensive position, channeling mana to his arms and legs. In the earlier match, he was cocky and made the first move, thinking he could easily win as his opponent was clearly a woman. However, he was easily defeated due to underestimating his opponent.

'This time I won't hold myself back and will use my full strength, or I would become a joke in front of Elle. I have a feeling that Miss Ava is no weaker than Miss Julie.' Marcus thought inwardly.
