Athena had already lost one sword to the negative Spirits, and now she was left with only one.
Fighting with just one sword was not her usual style, but she had no choice.
Besides, she did not have a storage unit like Lenny did.
She held her short sword in a reverse grip position, like she had always done.
Hector, on the other hand, held his sword in a front-grip position.
The reverse grip for sword fighting required a certain level of flexibility and coordination that even he had to admit he was severely lacking.
Nevertheless, it did not mean that he was any less of a threat than Athena was.
And this was without the Voice of Bedlam.
After all, he had imbedded all the way to the A class in the Arena with his own strength.
