"You… You got me."
"Yes. But only because you underestimated me and made it too easy." Netra replied, ending her attack with a gentle grin. "There's no way for me to defeat you. You can kill me without batting an eye and my claws can't create so much as a paper cut against you. If you hadn't insisted, I would never choose you as a target."
"As a target?" Isaac blinked and asked, "So you're training in assassination?"
The fox girl nodded. "That's why I aimed for just under your rib cage on the left side. But there was no way I'd be able to break your defenses and reach your internal organs."
"Ha… Ha! Ha! HA!" Isaac became hysterical as he felt the clean cut in his sash and robe. "If you had been a perennial, you would've killed me!"
"You demanded that I 'fight to kill,' so that's what I did. Even when I knew there was no chance for me to kill or scratch a king," Netra replied, not paying attention to the spectators nearing the two in absolute shock.
