Xiao took deep breaths, and she gripped on the handle of her sword.
Last time she went up against Harvey, he used a mana blocking spell that extended throughout the entire arena, rendering Xiao useless. Without her mana, she couldn't generate or craft anything from the air, so her only weapon was her sword.
Harvey's swordsmanship is considered the best in the Monastery, second only to the professor who actually taught him. Xiao's sword skill is decent, according to her professor this year. That means it's nothing compared to the blond boy, which was proven last season when Xiao's sword literally broke in half from the sheer force brought on by the impact when Harvey swung a fatal hit, and Xiao used her sword to block.
