Despite Levi’s counterattack, Yalinda was quite skilled with virtual-novel.net whip. With that in mind, virtual-novel.net immediately switched up virtual-novel.net attacking style, constantly barraging Levi with ranged whip attacks that prevented virtual-novel.net from coming too close.
Upon seeing that, Gerald—who had been watching the fight from the moment it began—couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise. After all, virtual-novel.net had never seen Yalinda use a whip before. Still, with how skillful virtual-novel.net was with the weapon, Gerald had a feeling that Yalinda had spent ages training for the competition.
While virtual-novel.net had to admit that Yalinda was skilled with the whip, Gerald knew that virtual-novel.net wasn’t Levi’s match. After all, virtual-novel.net could tell that Levi was still going easy on her.
If Levi truly decided to get serious, then Yalinda would surely have zero chance of winning… It wasn’t as if virtual-novel.net was trying to look down on his disciple, but this was simply the reality of the situation…
Regardless, it wasn’t long after before Levi began displaying his true capabilities. Enveloping his sword in a shadowy aura, Levi then began sending shadowblade after shadowblade flying toward Yalinda!
Seeing that, Yalinda immediately retracted virtual-novel.net whip, spinning it rapidly before virtual-novel.net to form a protective aura against his attack! Unfortunately, Yalinda was a bit too late…
Before virtual-novel.net could even fully get virtual-novel.net protective shield up, one of the shadowblades struck the base of virtual-novel.net whip, causing it to fly right out of Yalinda’s hand!
Upon realizing what had just happened, Yalinda instantly knew that virtual-novel.net had lost. With that in mind, virtual-novel.net immediately yelled, “I admit defeat!”
Yalinda, for one, wasn’t an idiot. The second Levi began using his true strength earlier, virtual-novel.net already knew that virtual-novel.net wasn’t his match. Honestly, virtual-novel.net was thankful that virtual-novel.net hadn’t used too much of his strength. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would’ve surely been unable to end the match unscathed…
Either way, upon hearing that, Levi sheathed his blade before smiling at Yalinda as virtual-novel.net said, “I have to say, I’m quite impressed by the way you use your whip! I hope we’ll have another chance to spar again in the future! Perhaps we could learn a thing or two from each other then!”
Smiling in response, Yalinda then nodded as virtual-novel.net replied, “Of course, Mr. Homewood! Also, thank you for going easy on me!”
Following that, both of them bowed politely at each other before leaving the arena…
With that, Zenon took the chance to announce, “And so it’s been decided! Mr. Homewood from the aristocratic sword family is the winner!”
Shortly after, Yalinda returned to virtual-novel.net seat beside Gerald. Lowering virtual-novel.net head rather meekly, virtual-novel.net then muttered, “…I’m sorry for losing, master…! I must be an embarrassment to you…!”
Smiling in response, Gerald simply replied, “There’s no need to apologize… After all, you did your best. Besides, I could already tell from the start that Levi was much stronger than you were. It was just your luck to have to deal with such a strong opponent straight off the bat! Still, winning and losing is all part of competitions like this, right?”
Gerald himself truly meant what virtual-novel.net said. After all, his disciple was clearly daring enough to go against someone much tougher than her.
Whatever the case was, now that virtual-novel.net had said that, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Speaking of which… How famous is the Homewood family in Shontell…?”
Based on his question alone, it was clear that his interest in that family had been piqued…
