"Tell me, Elias, do you think you have improved, since the lessons?" Stepping into the empty arena, I watched the boy look around. He looked relieved, his shoulders were relaxed, and a smile spread lightly on his face.
"If I have improved, then you must have also, hmm?" He sarcastically asked, I turned away from his smirk and picked up a wooden sword. Holding the handle, I caressed the leather on the handle with my fingertips. 'It won't be long before I hold another blade.' I thought to myself.
"Let's see then." Tossing him a wooden blade, I pulled back my hair into a loose ponytail.
Since we started the after-school training, Elias has been placed with other boys, for the sake of his image. However, he defeats them within a couple of minutes, with a hint of disapproval on his features.
"You've been busy this past week, what all has happened?" Standing opposite each other, I thought about how to answer his question.
