The next morning.
Noel closed his eyes for a moment as an image of Anna appeared in the darkness, wielding her sword.
Suddenly, she jumped forth while waving her blade.
Noel raised his sword to strike this blade, but once he stopped it, the lightning started spreading to his sword and eventually reached his hand, numbing it. Noel tried his hardest to stop it, but the numbness of his hands weakened them, causing the blade to fail to stop this strike.
In the end, Anna's sword cut his neck.
"Ha…" Noel gasped for air because the image was too real. This was his training with the Imaginary Battlefield.
At first, he could still put up some fight against Anna, but when Anna showed the progress of her training, he simply had no way to defeat her right now.
